Chapter 346 Madame guess, do I believe it or not?
Qi Da rubbed his hands and said, "That's right, there's something else to use. If you don't sell it, can you see it work?"
Li Zheng didn't know what he thought of, and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to pay the money for the silkworm planting. Also, don't yell everywhere."
Qi Dadao: "We don't yell! We won't tell anyone!"
"Okay, just send me the money back." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen and reminded him again: "Don't mention anyone!"
Chen hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't worry, we won't mention this matter!"
"You must remember to pick the cocoon and make your actions gentler."
Qi Lele said, pointing to another place: "If you want to pick this yellow cocoon, it is not yellow enough, it is not the time yet, so you have to wait."
"Before picking cocoons, pick out dead silkworms and rotten cocoons. If there are debris such as silkworm manure, try to pick out them together."
"The picked cocoons should be gently placed on the thin plaque, and then placed on the second layer after full. Do not pile them too high. A thin plaque should be placed at most two or three layers."
Behind her, several people of all sizes were followed, and all of them were listening attentively, and even Su Yaxian came to join in for fun.
"In addition, if you see some cocoons that are obviously bigger, you should also pick them out separately, maybe they are cocoons of the double palace."
"What is a double palace cocoon?"
Qi Lele smiled and said, "The double palace cocoon is a cocoon that is formed by two or even more silkworms together, so it is bigger. We use square clusters, one silkworm and one grid. Double palace cocoons should not appear, but if there is one, we must also pick it out."
"good!"
After listening, everyone scattered and guarded a bunch of square clusters to pick them up.
Qi Lele started to think while picking up silkworm cocoons.
If this fresh silkworm cocoon is to be placed for a long time, it requires special equipment to dry or store at low temperature, which is obviously impossible to do now.
Then the best strategy is to boil the cocoon and pull the silk in time.
When Qi Lele was first sent to her grandmother, she relied on raising silkworms and selling raw silk to support her.
However, later the technology became more and more advanced, and machines gradually replaced labor. My grandmother had only one person and had to take care of the small ones. Her income was getting smaller and smaller, so she simply changed her career to open a small restaurant.
So what Qi Lele is most familiar with is silk reeling.
After picking up the cocoons today, I will start boiling the cocoons and pulling silk tomorrow!
"Will you pull the silk tomorrow?"
Qi Lele nodded: "The cocoon cannot be released for a long time."
Xie Zi'an said: "Then I won't go out tomorrow."
Since Qi Lele decided to build a few small factories two days ago, Xie Zi'an has not been idle. At night, he discussed drawings with Qi Lele and had to choose a place to build a factory during the day.
After all, some of the existing products at home are food in the mouth and some are toxic chemicals that cannot be produced together.
The most difficult point is that a factory building with a simple, rough and unappetizing design must be chosen to be an inconspicuous enough to avoid being disliked by Xie Dai.
After choosing the place, Xie Zi'an had to supervise the work himself, because this time, even the middle-aged craftsman refused to do it.
"Young Master, I am bluntly speaking, do you think this row of houses is appropriate to put together with your residence?"
Xie Zi'an said: "It's not suitable, so you need your help to make this house more suitable as the entire mansion."
Middle-aged craftsman: "…"
How can such a straight row of houses be called a house?
"Why didn't the eldest son build a yard? This abrupt horizontal row is empty in front and back. What can I do?"
Xie Zi'an said, "That's what you want. If it's not enough in the future, add a row of bowel movements in front and back. If the yard is built, it's not as convenient as this."
The middle-aged craftsman said, "The yard is also very convenient. If it is not enough, just surround the yard outside the yard, isn't it?"
"In a circle of adding, there must be a spare place around it to do it; in such rows of adding,
Just one is facing the space."
The middle-aged craftsman couldn't speak anymore, but he actually felt that Xie Zi'an's words were reasonable!
No, no! This is absolutely not possible! This kind of house is even ugly than that of the employee dormitory! If he agrees, the old headmaster will definitely kick him out of the Chinese class!
"Or what if the house is built, the eldest son will ask someone to make a painting on the wall?"
"…"
After hearing this, Qi Lele laughed and leaned back and forth: "So, did he agree in the end?"
"What do you think, Madam?"
Qi Lele smiled while flattering: "Your husband will definitely be able to convince him!"
Xie Zian slowly brought her under him: "I wonder how my wife will reward you?"
Qi Lele hurriedly raised his hand to support him: "Not tonight! I will still have to pull my silk thread tomorrow, so I have to accumulate some energy!"
"oh?"
"I really didn't lie to you this time, you'll know after watching it tomorrow."
Xie Zian slowly picked up the loophole in her words: "This time?"
Qi Lele thought it was not good, and hurriedly said, "I didn't lie to you before!"
"Madam, guess, do I believe it or not?"
"…"
After agreeing to a bunch of unequal terms that would be humiliated by the country, Qi Lele was finally let go and fell asleep with gritted teeth and gritted his teeth.
The next morning, Qi Lele was woken up by Aunt Wang before dawn.
Xie Zian beside him was no longer visible. He thought he had taken a few younger brothers and sisters to "morning exercise".
According to usual calculations, they will not return until at least an hour.
What Qi Lele wants is this time difference.
This time, because there are not many cocoons, Qi Lele plans to boil silk in the kitchen.
After they moved it over, this kitchen was never used. The stove and iron pots were available inside, and the area was quite large, enough for a few people to turn around.
When she entered the kitchen, she unexpectedly saw Grandma Du also, and Qiuye and Hanshuang were still following behind her.
"Grandma Du, why are you here!"
Grandma Du smiled and said, "I heard that the young lady was going to suck silk, and she was always thick-skinned, so she wanted to come and watch it."
Qi Lele said, "Then I said it ahead, you can only watch it, not get started by yourself."
"Okay, I'll follow the arrangements of the young lady."
In addition to Grandma Du and the other three, Du Qiuliang's sister Du Qiurong. As for Aunt Du, she was busy taking people to continue making sesame oil and sesame paste, and couldn't get rid of it.
Qi Lele silently recalled the population composition of his family and found that the proportion of women was really low!
I am afraid that I have to hire someone from the village to do this job.
Just as Qi Lele rolled up her sleeves and was about to start work, Su Yaxian slowly swayed over, with Su Yi's biological mother Feng Bijun beside her.
When he met Qi Lele's gaze, Feng Bijun smiled with a grand look on his face: "I heard from my wife that I have to have some physical strength to pull the silk work, so I'll join in the fun too."
