Chapter 55: Silkworm Eggs
Walking into the bedroom, Shi Yue found that the bamboo bed was actually a fence built of bamboo, and two golden silkworms about a foot long were locked in it.
The two golden silkworms were fat and had a large number of fresh mulberry leaves under them, but they were lying lazily in the corner, without the slightest desire to eat.
"Senior Brother Shi, after my two golden silkworms ate some mulberry leaves with melanosis, they became like this, they haven't spit silk for several days, and they don't eat, I'm in a hurry, I've already told others that if I don't hand over a certain amount of silk at the end of the month, I will face huge compensation, and I also ask Senior Brother Shi to help diagnose and treat, and the honorarium will definitely not be less junior brother." The middle-aged woman said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, Shi Yue nodded thoughtfully, groaned slightly, and said, "Senior Sister Qian, can you report them so that I can check them carefully."
"No problem. The middle-aged woman agreed, walked forward quickly, and hugged the two golden silkworms in front of Shi Yue.
Shi Yue turned the two golden silkworms over and found that they had some black spots on their tails.
He held out two fingers and gently rubbed the black spot.
"Senior Brother Shi, I asked someone to come and see it before, and they said that these black spots are toxins accumulated in the body of the golden silkworm, and they need to be discharged. The middle-aged woman explained.
Hearing this, Shi Yue nodded, groaned slightly, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Senior Sister Qian, please take a bowl of water." ”
Soon, the middle-aged woman poured a bowl of water and handed it to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked it, poured out some light yellow liquid, and dripped into the bowl.
"Senior Sister Qian, you feed this bowl of water to the two golden silkworms and see if you can expel the toxins from your body. Shi Yue handed the bowl to the middle-aged woman and said.
The middle-aged woman nodded, took the porcelain bowl, and sent the water mixed with urine to the mouth of the golden silkworm.
"Senior Brother Shi, is your porcelain vase also filled with the spiritual liquid that cures melanosis, why does it taste different?" Chen Xing'er asked curiously.
"No, it's another kind of spiritual fluid that helps spirit beasts excrete. Shi Yue shook his head and explained.
Soon, the two golden silkworms drank all the water mixed with the urine infusion.
With two sounds of "poof" and "poof", the two golden silkworms suddenly rose up on their buttocks, each spewing out a stream of yellow gas, exuding a fishy smell.
As soon as the middle-aged woman and Chen Xing'er smelled this gas, they walked away with a look of disgust, and Shi Yue also stepped aside.
After a while, the stench disappeared.
The two golden silkworms rose up their buttocks, motionless.
Seeing this, Shi Yue turned their bodies over, and the black spots on the tail of the golden silkworm still existed.
His expression moved, and two fingers pressed on the black spot on the tail of a golden silkworm, and gently rubbed it a few times.
With a "poof", the golden silkworm's abdomen shrank, and a stream of black liquid squirted out of its buttocks.
Caught off guard, all the black liquid sprayed on Shi Yue's face.
After squirting out this black liquid, the black spots on the tail of the golden silkworm disappeared.
Seeing this, Chen Xing'er laughed out loud, but she quickly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Senior Brother Shi, I'm sorry, you wash your face first. The middle-aged woman brought a basin of water and said apologetically.
Shi Yue nodded, picked up some water in both hands, washed his face, and washed off the black liquid on his face.
Next, Shi Yue did the same, grabbed another golden silkworm, turned its body over, buttocks outward, put his index finger on the black spot on the tail, and rubbed it lightly a few times.
With a "poof", the golden silkworm's abdomen shrank, and a stream of black liquid squirted out of its buttocks.
"Senior Sister Qian, the toxins in the golden silkworm's body have been removed, you try to feed them mulberry leaves and see if they eat it. Shi Yue put down the golden silkworm in his hand and said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman nodded and carried the two golden silkworms back into the bamboo fence.
An astonishing scene appeared, two golden silkworms began to eat mulberry leaves, and a palm-sized mulberry leaf was quickly eaten by it.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman showed ecstasy on her face and said gratefully: "Senior Brother Shi, thank you so much, Senior Brother is really a real person! No wonder Senior Sister Chen praised you." ”
"Senior Sister Qian, how can I have it. Chen Xing'er's cheeks turned red when she heard this.
Shi Yue chuckled when he heard this, he immediately remembered something, and asked, "Senior Sister Qian, can the pair of golden silkworms you raise spit out a lot of silk every month?"
"It's not a lot, if there is enough supply of mulberry leaves, they can spit out two or three catties of silk a month! The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said.
When Shi Yue heard this, his face was a little moved.
"Senior Brother Shi, don't you also want to raise a pair of golden silkworms! I advise you to dispel this idea! Senior Sister Qian has been raising this pair of golden silkworms for more than ten years, and has spent a lot of effort and spirit stones to cultivate this pair of golden silkworms from the first level of the first level to the first level of the high level, and they only spit out a few catties of silk every month, and the initial investment is too large, it is better to plant the spirit valley elixir. Chen Xing'er seemed to see what Shi Yue was thinking, glanced at Shi Yue meaningfully, and opened her mouth to suggest.
"Yes, Senior Brother Shi, this golden silkworm has a great appetite, and it needs to be fed a lot of fresh mulberry leaves in the early stage, in order to feed them, I planted forty or fifty spirit mulberry trees, barely enough for them to eat. The middle-aged woman nodded in agreement.
"Having said that, the younger brother still wants to raise two, I don't know if Senior Sister Qian has golden silk silkworm eggs, and the younger brother wants to buy a pair of golden silk silkworm eggs with you. Shi Yue said with a serious face.
"Golden Silk Silkworm Eggs?Well, my pair of Golden Silk Silkworms just gave birth to a pair of Golden Silk Silkworm Eggs not long ago, so let's give them to Senior Brother Shi!" the middle-aged woman said after a moment of silence when she heard this.
With that, she flipped over and took out a cyan wooden box and handed it to Shi Yue.
"Then thank you, Senior Sister Qian, this pair of golden silkworm eggs will be my reward for treating the golden silkworm!" Shi Yue accepted the cyan wooden box and said with a smile.
"No problem, before hatching the golden silkworm, Senior Brother Shi needs to plant some spirit mulberry trees, the growth of the golden silkworm needs to gnaw a large number of mulberry leaves, and only the silk spit out by the golden silkworm above the first level can be used for refining. The middle-aged woman nodded and suggested.
"Thank you Senior Sister Qian for your advice. Shi Yue nodded in thanks.
Next, Shi Yue chatted with the middle-aged woman and Chen Xing'er for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.
Shi Yue made a trip to the deacon's hall and exchanged twenty contribution points for a bag of spirit mulberry seeds.
