Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 135 Food for Longevity

Taking Luo Lao to Brother Xu's house, Brother Xu saw him and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"This is not to see how the silkworms are growing."

"It's not bad. It's already the third generation. I've pulled out the silk for you in the last two cocoons, and left you a lot of silkworm chrysalis."

Du Kang is overjoyed, he likes silkworm chrysalis, as a foodie, he used to eat them often, fried and stir-fried are good, especially in summer when silkworm chrysalis are skewered on bamboo sticks and roasted on the fire, the taste is not to mention.

If it is paired with beer, a mouthful of silkworm chrysalis and a mouthful of beer will be extremely enjoyable and a rare enjoyment.

Brother Xu brought a box and said that the silkworm chrysalis were prepared for him, and they were carefully selected and undamaged.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was opened, a group of fluttering moths appeared in front of them, one by one, they crawled out of it with their wings spread, and some even started to fly, flew to the window and flew to the bed, all over the room.

The smile on Brother Xu's face suddenly froze, he didn't expect his silkworm chrysalis to become a fluttering moth.

Hurrying to cover the box, Cancan explained, "It must have been too long, I was going to let Xu Dabao take it away when he came, but who knows that he hasn't come here for a few days, I will pack some for you when you leave. "

"Thank you, brother Xu, for your trouble."

Brother Xu waved his hands again and again to show that it was all right, and then took them to the silkworm house to check.

It can be clearly seen that there are two kinds of silkworms with huge differences in the silkworm house. One is fat and chubby and very cute, and the other is thin and small, which gives people a feeling of malnutrition.

Of course, malnutrition is just an illusion, which itself is a relatively thin silkworm, otherwise how can it spit out slender silk.

Du Kang looked at it for a long time and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, what we need is the silk spit out by this lean silkworm. Where is the silk left from the last cocooning?"

"In the room, I left it for you."

The three of them went over, Brother Xu took out the silk from it, Du Kang took it and inspected it, it was indeed very thin, and the breeze blew by, and he felt as if he was about to fly away.

Luo Lao praised, "It's a good silk, much thinner than the silk used in the imitation, and it should be able to be successfully imitated. You have helped me a lot."

"It's nothing."

"It's nothing to you, but it's very important to me. The two plain gauze gowns were stolen a few days ago and have been lost."

Du Kang was taken aback, he knew that the plain gauze gown was stolen and lost, but he only found one, but he didn't know who made it, and he didn't know the time. , I didn't expect it to be stolen this year. It seems that Susha's clothes were doomed.

But with these silks, it should be able to be imitated soon, so that more people can see plain gauze gowns.

After chatting for a long time, Mr. Luo was about to take the silk away, but Du Kang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, this kind of silk can become lighter after being soaked in medicine, and it will be more suitable for making plain gauze gowns."

"Will soaking in the potion affect the silk?"

This is the first time he has heard that even silk can be soaked in water, if it affects the toughness of silk, the loss outweighs the gain.

"No problem, this is my special potion, specially used to make this kind of silk that needs to reduce weight."

Hearing what he said, Mr. Luo handed over the silk to him, and planned to wait until the brewing was completed to further reduce the weight of the silk, and then asked the master weavers to weave it into a plain gauze gown.

Brother Xu asked next to him, "This year's silk hasn't been sold yet. Do you want it? It's very good for making silk quilts or clothes."

Du Kang took other silks to check. As expected, he is a well-known expert in raising silkworms. The silk he harvested was indeed good, but it was a pity that they were all white and there were no other colors.

Du Kang suddenly became interested. It is common knowledge that silk is white, but it does not mean that there are no other colors of silk. In fact, the color of silk can be changed by adding color additives. What color additives can be added to make silk become what color? .

Then can he breed a batch of silkworms of various colors to obtain colorful silk.

This is the pre-staining, not the post-staining comparison.

Trying to tell Brother Xu about the situation, Brother Xu frowned and asked, "Is it possible, are you sure you won't kill the silkworm?"

"Of course it can be done. I have raised silkworms of different colors before, and there is no problem. In this way, I will ask for the silk I raise next time. If there is a problem, I will be responsible for the loss."

Brother Xu nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see silkworms that could spit out various colors.

When he got home, Du Kang took out the silkworm moths and prepared to make them into delicacies.

Yes, it was the silk moth, and he brought the silk moth back too.

It is said that it is a fluttering moth, but its real name is silkworm moth, which is much bigger than a fluttering moth, and it is rich in nutrients, which is not comparable to a fluttering moth.

In ancient times, it was also known as the original silkworm moth and late silkworm moth, and it belongs to the same diet insects.It has a long history of eating, as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was regarded as a precious tonic by the royal family.It can also be used as a traditional Chinese medicine, which was first recorded in "Bielu of Famous Doctors", and it is called "the original silkworm".

If it is not eaten, after two or three days, the silk moths will mate, and the female silk moths will produce a pile of millet and then die.

This pile of egg-yellow millet will hatch into young silkworms after a period of time.

And this is also an important source of millet. People collect and process it to become the millet we often eat.

Of course this is nonsense, silkworm eggs have nothing to do with millet, but the two are indeed very similar, and it is easy to fool people who have never seen it before.

Cut off the wings of these silk moths and fry them in oil like a cicada monkey. It is delicious.

Especially the female ones, which contain mature silkworm eggs, which taste like eating caviar. The silkworm eggs burst open in the mouth, which is extremely delicious.

Natalia looked a little disgusted from the side. Those silk moths flying around had dense small hairs on their wings, and they were covered with hairs when they grabbed them with their hands. It was extremely uncomfortable to watch.Asked, "Are you sure this thing can be eaten?"

"Of course, and rich in nutrients, it can enhance human immune function, resist oxidation, delay aging, and effectively inhibit tumor growth.

Among them, there is a large amount of selenium, the content of which is the most in all foods that humans can eat, and no food can exceed it. "

"So what, it's just a trace element, it doesn't have much effect."

Du Kang gave her a strange look, and said, "Who told you that it doesn't work, selenium is the most important anti-aging element discovered so far, it can beautify the skin and prolong human life.

Why do people in the world's four famous longevity regions live longer?It is because of the presence of selenium.

The selenium content in the soil and grains in these areas is more than 10 times higher than the average level in other areas, and the selenium content in the blood of centenarians is also 3-6 times higher than that of normal people.

It is enough to prove its great effect on beauty and life extension. "

Natalia's eyes lit up when she heard this. Everyone longs for a long life, but she didn't expect that there is such a skill in it, so she can eat more of this kind of food in the future.

She pretended not to care about it, but when she had dinner at night, she ate half of a plate of silkworm moths.

Du Kang shook his head helplessly, just listen to this kind of words, who can say for sure, do you need to believe so much.

Sure enough, girls are very concerned about their appearance, as long as they can beautify their appearance, they would rather believe it or not.

If there is a date or not, first hit two shots first, and if it works, it is not a profit.
