The cocoons sent by Chen were obviously not as good as those raised by Qi Lele himself. The cocoons of the double palace were much larger, and some macular cocoons were also some.

"Macular cocoon?"

Qi Lele said: "This cocoon is usually caused by the silkworm's illness or not healthy enough."

"Can you still reel the silk?"

"Soft reels are not suitable, but they can be made into something else."

"What made?"

Qi Lele kept it a secret: "You will know later."

First pick the cocoons one by one, pick them out and reel them with good looks, and leave the rest in one place.

After you have all picked, you will cook the cocoon as usual.

Xie Zian was about to take a look, but Song Mingshan called him away, saying that Xie Dai was looking for him.

Qi Lele squeezed at him, gloating.

Today's cocoons are cooked to make silk quilts, which is different from yesterday's cocoons. Qi Lele rolled up his sleeves and started working, leaving only Aunt Wang to help.

Several other people continued to reel silk, and there were so many silkworm cocoons. If they didn’t reel silk, they would be about to unscrew them in a few days.

After working hard for more than half an hour, Qi Lele took out the cooked cocoons, put them in clean water and cooled them down, and applied the sweat beads on his forehead.

"That's fine?"

Qi Lele nodded: "The cocoon has been cooked. Let's take a break first, and then wait later."

As he was talking, Mu Shiwan came back rubbing her arm.

"What's wrong? Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that I accidentally touched it while gesturing, it's okay."

Seeing that Qi Lele didn't believe it, Mu Shiwan pushed her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms, with a red mark two fingers wide on it.

"Do you want to apply some medicine?"

"No need." Mu Shiwan shook her head indifferently: "Those who practice martial arts are nothing. Sister, don't worry, it will be fine in two days."

Then, OK!

Qi Lele looked into the yard, and there was no one in the picture: "Why are you the only one, what about the others?"

"Brother Xie took them out and said there was something important. Aunt Su said that Xianxian had not finished writing yesterday and had to make up for it today, so I came here alone."

Mu Shiwan said, leaning out her head to look at the cocoons floating in the water tank, and asked, "How do you soak these in cold water? Didn't you cook them in the pot yesterday?"

Qi Lele smiled and said, "The method of making the matter today is different."

Mu Shiwan stopped asking.

After preparing all the tools, Qi Lele took a large wooden basin, filled it with clear water, scooped a spoonful of silkworm cocoons, and was about to start peeling the cocoons.

Mu Shiwan followed suit and moved a stool to sit over and sat down obediently.

Qi Lele hesitated for a moment and said, "This is to peel off the cocoon and remove the silkworm pupa inside."

"Okay, sister, do it first, I'll watch."

Qi Lele asked, "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Silkworm pupa?" Mu Shiwan said: "I'm not hiding it from my sister. I've touched the cicada pupa in the past."

Qi Lele was relieved. He picked up a silkworm cocoon, peeled it open with his nails, took out the silkworm pupa, put it aside, put the silkworm cocoon in the water and pulled it away with the power of water.

Then put the torn silk on the small bamboo ring.

Only then did Mu Shiwan know the use of this bamboo ring.

"After putting it on, these silkworm pupae and black fading must be removed, and try to ensure that the cocoon is clean."

After picking all the things, Qi Lele handed the bamboo ring to Mu Shiwan: "Come and try it."

Mu Shiwan looked at the bamboo ring and said, "Is this going to continue to pull up?"

"Yes, you can stack four cocoons and remove them together."

Mu Shiwan nodded: "I'll try it."

Qi Lele smiled, lowered his head and picked up another silkworm cocoon.

After Mu Shiwan accidentally pulled a cocoon, she quickly grasped the force and never made any mistakes behind her.

After putting on four layers of silkworm cocoons, Qi Lele took off the entire cocoon and became a silk cotton bag.

For Mu Shiwan, this is obviously much easier than silk reeling.

After being proficient, she even had the leisure to talk to Qi Lele: "Is this going to be a sachet?"

Qi Lele looked at the silk cotton pocket, which was really suitable for making sachets.

"No, I'm going to make a quilt."

"Does it be sewn up for quilts?"

Qi Lele laughed: "No, you will know in a few days."

Mu Shiwan stopped asking.

The two of them quickly put all the cocoons in the wooden basin together. Qi Lele changed to a basin of clean water and scooped some cocoons over.

This job was easy at first, but after sitting for a long time, my forearm became a little sore, just because the cocoon was extremely elastic, and it was very difficult to pull it.

Moreover, my hands were soaked in water all the time, and soon my fingers wrinkled.

But Mu Shiwan had no complaints and advised Qi Lele in turn: "I am a martial artist, and my arm strength is strong. This job is nothing to calculate. My sister is different. If you are tired, you should rest for a while and never show off."

Qi Lele could only swallow the words on his lips and smiled and said ok.qδ

After all the cocoons cooked in the morning were processed, Qi Lele twisted out the moisture from the silk cotton bag and hung them row by row on the rope in the center of the yard, waiting to be dried thoroughly.

After finishing all this, Aunt Wang and others in the kitchen also drew the last batch of silkworm cocoons.

Qi Lele estimated the remaining cocoons and thought to himself: At the current speed, relying on these few people alone, I am afraid that it will not be too late to deal with all the cocoons.

From tomorrow, all the cocoons have to be used as silk cotton bags. The silkworm seeds given by the county magistrate on both sides are not considered good varieties. The cocoons are of average quality, so it is not a pity to use them as silk quilts.

However, the ten silkworm seeds sent by Ye Liu were all good.

Recruiting employees is imperative!

"Miss, I've got a letter from Beijing."

"Show me!"

The nanny stood aside and looked at Mu Shiwan's face from joy to a solemn face. She couldn't help asking, "What? But what happened in the capital?"

Mu Shiwan shook her head: "No, it's my problem."

After saying that, her eyes fell on the basin rack not far away, and there was a delicately carved rose on the rack. At first glance, it was enough to be real.

If it weren't for reading my mother's letter, Mu Shiwan couldn't believe it. A mere gadget for washing faces would be hard to find in the capital!

Thinking of the days ago, just because she accidentally mentioned it, Qi Lele gave her five flowers and asked her to take them back to her mother.

Qi Lele, do she know how valuable the things she gave her casually are?

For some reason, Mu Shiwan just felt that she knew it.
Chapter completed!
