Chapter 340: Fried silkworm pupa
"It's too cold in winter, and if something like silk is made into a quilt, how many cocoons will it take to finish? I'm afraid we can only complete a silk quilt in one summer!
Also, if it's too cold in winter, according to what Su Su said, can you keep warm by covering a thin silk quilt?" When Huang Zhang heard this, he asked puzzled.
"Grandma, is it useful, let's make a silk quilt out, and you will know the effect and comfort of the silk quilt when you cover it."
Moreover, if this silk quilt can be mass-produced, this silk quilt can definitely be sold for a good price, and it can also become one of our best-selling products." Huang Shisu smiled.
also knew that Huang Zhang's didn't know about silk quilts, because in their impression thinking, only by wearing and covering cotton clothes and quilts could they be warm.
Hearing that a thin layer of silk quilt can be used to keep warm, she naturally didn't believe it and half-believed.
These words were still said by Huang Zisu, if someone else said it, Huang Zhang would definitely not believe it at all.
In the morning, Mai Dong visited the villagers' homes and bought silkworm cocoons everywhere.
Huang Shisu's ancestors and grandchildren tore open the cocoons of silkworms, and half-bent the bow on the net to make silk pockets.
Their ancestors and grandchildren only made seven or eight silk pockets in the morning, and if they were dried, they would not weigh half a catty.
Moreover, tearing open the cocoon to make a silk pocket is also a skillful job, and people who don't have a little strength in their hands really can't do it.
It doesn't just take strength, it takes patience and endurance to tear open the cocoon with both hands.
At this rate, even if you are a skilled person, you can peel off two catties of silk cotton a day.
At the end of this day, Huang Shisu's ancestors and grandchildren also made more than 30 silk pockets.
After the silk pocket was made, the yellow perilla was taken to the eaves to dry.
If you want to make a silk quilt weighing two or three catties, you need hundreds of silk pockets and hundreds of layers to be made.
After this set of processes, Huang Shisu estimated that it would take seven or eight days to make a silk quilt.
"Susu, I'll call it a day first, I'll take these silkworm chrysalis to feed the chickens and ducks." After the last bit of silkworm cocoon, Huang Zhang's cleaned up his things and prepared to take the cut silkworm chrysalis to feed the chickens and ducks.
"Grandma, what a waste of feeding chickens and ducks! Give it to me, and I'll make it to eat." Huang Zisu said, and stepped forward to take the dustpan in Huang Zhang's hand.
Those who like to eat this silkworm chrysalis find it delicious, and those who don't like to eat it feel disgusting.
Moreover, this silkworm chrysalis has a very high nutritional value, and it is very suitable for those apprentices at home who have a long body to eat, and give them a tonic body.
After the silkworm pupa is cleaned up, put it in the plate, then put it in the steaming for 10 minutes, then heat the oil in the pot, when the oil temperature is 6 hot, put in the steamed silkworm pupae, fry it over medium heat until crispy, remove the oil, and then sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt!
After making a large pot full of yellow perilla, he filled some of it for his own consumption, and then gave the rest to the apprentices to eat.
"Mother, what is this? Is this your new dish?" At the dinner table, Huang Jing saw a plate of dishes similar to insects, and she asked in surprise.
"This is made by Susu, made of silkworm chrysalis." Huang Zhang added a sentence later.
"Susu, can this silkworm chrysalis be eaten? Isn't it delicious?" Huang Jing suddenly asked.
"Sister-in-law, can I make it delicious? You'll know if you eat." Huang Shisu smiled.
"It's really delicious, when you bite into the skin, it's crispy and soft, and then you chew the meat inside, which is like the powdery texture of egg yolk. These two tastes are combined, and there is a unique texture, which is quite delicious." Cork hasn't eaten silkworm chrysalis either, no! As soon as he heard his daughter say that it was delicious, he unceremoniously picked it up and ate it, and he felt that it was so delicious that it exploded.
At the same time as his eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to eat it.
Seeing this, the rest of the Huang family couldn't wait to eat.
Except for her sister-in-law, who doesn't like to eat, everyone else in the Huang family loves to eat.
After the meal is full, it is time for deliberations.
"Sue
Sue, today I went to the dental store and bought twenty-five people back, ten of whom are men in their early thirties, eight are women in their early thirties, and seven are girls over twelve years old.
Mother, this is their deed of sale, you have taken it." After the meal was full, Astragalus handed over the deed of sale to her mother who bought it from the tooth shop today.
"Mai Dong, these ten men will be handed over to you, and in the future, you will take them up the mountain to collect medicine or arrange for them to grind medicinal herbs, you can arrange it yourself.
Ten women, two of them cooked for the apprentices, sprinkled and cleaned.
The two are responsible for our family's meals and cleaning, and the remaining six people will be handed over to Qiu Ling.
As for the remaining seven little girls, allocate two to Jiang Rou to take care of the baby, one to Yun Ling, and the other two in the four of your small courtyards, and give Qiu Ling you a call and let them do some chores.
I'll call on the other two." After Huang Zhang took the deed of sale, she quickly arranged these people one by one.
Qiu Ling and Su Huiyuan both married two maids, so there was no need to arrange someone to bring them a baby, Yun Ling only married one maid, so one more person was arranged for her, Jiang Rou did not marry a maid, so she arranged two of them.
In this way, there are two maids around them, and when the time comes, they can also let the maids take the baby, so that they can be freed up to help the family do some confidential and private work.
"Susu, there are two cloth shops in the town, and I have discussed with the steward of the cloth shop, and they sew sachets according to the drawings you draw, the sachets of muslin cloth are ten cents each, and the sachets of satin cloth are fifteen cents each.
I also told them that we would collect as much as they did, and we had already paid a deposit of ten taels of silver.
In addition, I asked the shopkeepers of two cloth shops, each of which can produce 50 to 80 sachets a day." At this time, Astragalus said to her family Su Su again.
"There are seven cloth shops in the county, and the negotiated price is the same as the eldest sister, at first the shopkeeper of the cloth shop wanted to raise the price, but the number of our family was too large, so I just pressed it and didn't raise the price.
Each cloth shop can produce about 100 sachets a day." Huang Jing saw her Su Su looking at her, and she hurriedly told her about Su Su's situation.
"At the end of the day, there are 800 sachets, and in a month there are 24,000, and this speed is not slow.
In addition, if our family wants a lot in the future, the manager of the cloth shop will definitely invest in sewing sachets for our family.
Two aunts, when you come back tomorrow, you will first bring back the sachets sewn by the cloth shop, and we will make some sachets and put them in the women's health center to pre-promote.
It is important to recommend the anti-mosquito bite sachet, so that the people who buy it can see the effect first, and it will be an instant hit, and during this time, you can first verbally promote it." Seeing this, Huang Zisu nodded with satisfaction.
