As a few people spoke, the water in the big iron pot on the stove was already boiling.

Qi Lele scooped out most of the basin of boiling water and mixed it with some cold water, although it was still very hot, but at least his hand could reach in.

Then I took some silkworm cocoons and put them in the slightly hot warm water.

Seeing this, several other people were about to do the same, but they were stopped by Qi Lele: "Let's boil a pot first and try it."

Everyone gathered around the basin of water and watched as the surface of the cocoon gradually became more foggy.

"This is a water film, and with a water film, even if it is soaked."

Qi Lele said, scooped out the silkworm cocoon with a colander, put it in a large iron pot, and continued to boil.

During the boiling process, constantly stir with a colander to make the cocoon continue to tumble.

During this period, Aunt Wang and several of them took turns to go up and try it, but Qi Lele had just demonstrated it, and they were squeezed aside, and they could only stand next to Su Yaxian.

"How long is this going to be cooked?"

"When the cocoons are soft, the water in the pot will be almost yellow."

"What happens after it's yellow?"

Qi Lele pointed to another cauldron with warm water: "Scoop it into this pot."

After the cocoons were changed, Qi Lele took a large dustpan, pressed all the cocoons into the water to soak, and after a while, took the dustpan.

After wiping her hands, she took a few more clean dustpans, spread a layer of soybeans in them, and set them aside for later use.

Su Yaxian asked, "What is this for?"

"This freshly smoked silk is a little damp, and the beans can absorb some water."

"I see."

When everything was ready, Qi Lele held a pair of chopsticks: "Now it's time to start reeling."

Hearing this, everyone knew that the main event was coming, and they all straightened their faces: "Young lady, let's start."

Qi Lele put the chopsticks in the water, in one direction, and stir vigorously.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Lele slowly pulled the chopsticks up, only to see several transparent silk wrapped around the chopsticks.

"This is silk?"

Qi Lele nodded, and carefully counted ten: "Which of you will try it first?"

Feng Bijun took the lead, raised his hand and took it: "I'll explore the way first."

Qi Lele smiled and counted ten more, this time it was the autumn leaves next to Granny Du who took them.

In the end, there were six left, and Qi Lele kept them for himself.

"Gently twist these threads of silk into a thread with one hand, and slowly draw the thread with the other hand, this force must be even, not too big nor too small, otherwise the silk will be easily broken."

Qi Lele said in his mouth, his subordinates moved briskly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already pulled out a piece of snow-white silk.

Feng Bijun watched the movements in Qi Lele's hand while trying to gently pull the silk.

Qi Lele took the time to glance at them, and saw that Qiu Ye's face was solemn, and the whole person was a little tense, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, even if it is broken, it will not be a big deal to continue it."

Qiu Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Lady Xie!"

Xu is work looks very light, Aunt Wang couldn't help but say, "Young lady, why don't you try it too?"

Qi Lele smiled: "This big iron pot is only so big, it's almost enough to surround three people at a time, you can wait."

Du Qiurong said, "Why don't we scoop up a few silkworm cocoons and smoke them in other pots?"

"Okay, you warm the water first, and then pick up some."

As soon as the words fell, I only heard Feng Bijun's oops, and it turned out that one was broken.

Qi Lele only felt a shadow flickering in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Feng Bijun carrying the broken silk, and said with a slight apology: "If you don't pay attention, you pull it faster."

Should it be said that she is worthy of being Su Zhengtao's wife Su Yi's own mother? Just rushing at this moment, presumably not much worse.

The broken wire was connected, and several people continued to work.

With Feng Bijun's appearance, Qiu Ye's whole person relaxed, Xu Yes

I don't think it's a big deal.

Her relaxation speed is not slower than Qi Lele's, and she is worthy of specializing in fine work.

On the other side, Aunt Wang and Du Qiurong estimated that the water temperature was about the same, and carefully fished out some silkworm cocoons from the iron pot in front of Qi Lele.

"That's the silk, if you can see it, pick ten sticks into a bunch, you don't have to mix it with chopsticks."

Aunt Wang smiled, "I'm afraid I can't do it with this look."

Hanshuang said, "I'll come."

Du Qiurong and Aunt Wang stepped back a little, with frosty eyes and quick hands, and after a while, she really asked her to pick out ten.

Su Yaxian took a step forward.

Qi Lele didn't raise his head: "Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull out today, and Sister Shiwan will have to rely on you to greet me."

Su Yaxian smiled, "You girl, you arranged for me."

Qi Lele looked up and smiled at her, with a bright smile and a flattering energy: "Where do I dare! As you can see, once this reeling starts, it's hard to stop. There must be someone in the house who entertains guests."

Su Yaxian said to Granny Du, "Mother-in-law, do you see it? I can see it, this girl, she just doesn't like us to make it good!"

Granny Du nodded: "The old body can also see it."

Having said that, the two of them had a smile on their faces and teasing words, obviously not going to their hearts.

In addition to Autumn Leaves and Frost, the other three also laughed.

Not long after, Xie Zi'an and the others also came back.

Seeing that Qi Lele and the others had already begun to smoke, they couldn't help but squeeze outside the kitchen and peek in.

"Why don't you go over?"

Mu Shiwan's heart was about to move, but she said on her face, "It's still not good, it's not polite."

Xie Ziyan said: "My mother and sister-in-law are both inside, if you want to go, you can go by yourself, it is not rude."

Mu Shiwan hesitated: "Really?"

Xie Ziyan laughed: "When did I lie to you?"

"That's ......."

Although this person always speaks unpleasantly, but when you think about it, you really haven't coaxed her!

"But what?"

Mu Shiwan said, "It's nothing."

Xie Ziyan urged with a smile: "If you want to go, go in."

On the other side, Dr. Ge came out of the thatched hut and saw the carriage outside the courtyard, knowing that Xie Dai was here again.

He didn't rush over, but walked to the side under the grass hut, washed his hands with soap, carefully wiped it with alcohol, and took off his mask and put it aside.

Xie Dai got out of the carriage: "How?"

"Two more people have a fever today, one has herpes on his hands, and a total of 21 of these 26 people are showing symptoms at the moment."

"Can anyone be seriously ill?"

Dr. Ge said, "It's still the same person, he was already sick before he got the pox."

"Can the disease be controlled?"

"It's under control right now."

Xie Dai bowed: "Can any of the other guards be infected?"

"No!"

Xie Dai's gaze fell on the can of alcohol under the grass hut: "Because of the smeared with alcohol?"

"Masks should have worked, but the biggest contributor is alcohol."

Doctor Ge said, looking at Xie Dai expectantly: "You really can't borrow the old man to take a look?"

Xie Dai: "......"
