After I came back from cultivating immortality, I led the whole village to raise silkworms and becom

Chapter 5 Turmoil
  There were people coming to the sugar factory again today, and everyone from the Qiao family, except Qiao Zhiyuan, came to the captain's house.

"Brother Aiguo, my family, Manman, said before that we would not be contracted. We want to raise silkworms ourselves. Why do you ask us to come here to sign today?" Dad Qiao looked at Qiao Aiguo helplessly.

"The people from the sugar factory said that your land is relatively large. If you don't sign the contract, it won't be cost-effective to contract this land, so we don't want this land. You don't want the villagers to poke your spine, right? What's more, there are some people who are also your elders. There are only a few old people at home, and they just want to live on the contracted money." Qiao Aiguo continued to persuade Qiao Jian, and this was also meant for Qiao Manman, you are the only one who wants to live. Girl, so many elders want to contract out the land. If the sugar factory doesn't want Qiao Manman, can you shoulder this responsibility?
  After hearing this, some grandparents around were also worried that the sugar factory would no longer want their land, and they would lose thousands of dollars every year. Everyone went to look at Grandpa Qiao, hoping that Grandpa Qiao would make a decision. After all, Manman grew up watching the elders in the village, so it would be better to find someone who can take charge.

Grandpa Qiao was also hesitant at this time. After all, he lived in a village and the relationship between neighbors still had to be good.

Qiao Aiguo added: "These few thousand dollars are not as easy as raising silkworms, and there are risks in raising silkworms. There is no risk at all in contracting out."

When Qiao Manman heard this, he felt unhappy. There was no way he could curse others for not making money. He turned around in his mind and said: "Uncle, there are many people in the village who are my elders. If the sugar factory does not contract, then I will Come take the contract.”

"Pfft." At this time, a burly aunt stood next to Qiao Manman, "Manman, it's not the aunt who is talking about you. Although we all watched you grow up, it's time to be sensible and stop talking big words. . How can your family still have the money to contract the land? Your brother has a lot of debt due to his leg injury. There are at least 80 acres of land, which is hundreds of thousands more. Where can you get the money to contract the land? "

The aunt's name is Qiao Meihua. She has five acres of wasteland at home. She has taken the old man to live in the town. The wasteland at home is now empty. She can still collect several thousand yuan in rent every year when contracted to a sugar factory. Seeing that her rent was going to be gone because of Qiao Manman, how could she sit still?
  "Yes, little girl, if the contracting of the sugar factory fails because of you, you will be the sinner of your village." Luo Guiying, the fat sister of the sugar factory, took advantage of the situation and added fuel to the fire.

"Manman, just sign."

"Yes, if we don't contract, we will have no money."

"Hurry up and sign, don't leave any ink marks."

"Sign early and get money early."

There were many people in the crowd urging the Qiao family to sign as soon as possible.

Qiao Manman told Qiao Aiguo, "Uncle, I will not contract out. If the sugar factory does not want the land in the village, then I will come over with the money to sign a contract with you within half a month."

Captain Qiao Aiguo looked at the Qiao family and then at Qiao Manman. This kid was really a stubborn kid, so he turned to discuss with Luo Guiying. Today's contract was still not signed.

Luo Guiying was a little annoyed this time. Every time she went to the village to sign a contract, everyone was polite to them, for fear that they would not contract the land. Unexpectedly, I hit a wall at Arbor Bay. She turned around and asked the captain about the situation of Qiao's family. When she heard that Qiao's family had an injured and disabled Qiao Zhiyuan, Luo Guiying had an idea in mind.

"Manman, your brother's leg cost a lot of money, and the family has no money. We can't help you contract so much land." Qiao's mother said to her daughter on the way back.

Qiao Manman lowered her head and kicked the stones on the road as she walked, "Mom, I will find a way to deal with money." She also knew that she was a little impulsive today.

When she got home, Qiao Manman felt a little depressed because she hadn't thought of a way to make money quickly yet. I took the vegetable seeds I bought in the city and went to the vegetable garden. When I was in the world of immortality, I went to work in the vegetable field when I encountered something unhappy. She is a descendant of Shennong at heart and loves farming. After planting some Chinese cabbage and green vegetables, I simply made a growth formation with stones.

I looked around the house and found that no one was there, so I walked to the independent silkworm house not far from my house.

She was so busy with so many things these days that she forgot to go to her silkworm room to take a look. She now had two sets of silkworms at home. There are about 100 silkworms in one silkworm, and one silkworm baby can produce up to 15 kilograms of cocoons. Currently, the price of raw silkworm cocoons per kilogram hovers between 35-7000 yuan. Buyers will set the price based on the output, season and the beauty of the cocoons. . In one month, the Qiao family can only earn up to yuan, without deducting costs.

All this money was actually hard-earned money. When Qiao Manman saw the exquisite silk weaving techniques in the world of immortality, he couldn't bear the situation where his family had treasures but no blessings to enjoy them.

"Manman, why are you here?" Qiao Zhiyuan saw his sister appearing at the door of the silkworm house.

"No one is home, so I came here to see you. Is there anything I can do to help?" Qiao Manman looked at her brother feeding fresh mulberry leaves to the silkworm babies that had just molted and woke up.

Qiao Zhiyuan looked at his sister's white and tender hands and said with disdain: "It's only four years old. Miss, please have a good rest." Ever since his brother felt a little numb in his legs, there was a lot more smile on his face.

The life of a silkworm baby is only about 30 days. The first molt of a silkworm baby is called the first instar, and it has to go through a total of 5 molts. Silk spinning and cocooning begin 5-8 days after the fifth molt.

Qiao Manman looked at the silkworm baby who was struggling to eat, and suddenly thought of a good way to make money.

Just do it, pick up the cardboard box next to you, grab a bunch of baby silkworms and put them in. When you ran out of the silkworm room with the cardboard box in your arms, you didn't forget to grab a handful of fresh mulberry leaves.

He took the silkworm baby back to the room, nourished the mulberry leaves with spiritual energy, and then fed them all to the silkworm baby. Silkworm baby seemed to have smelled something delicious, shaking his head anxiously. As soon as the mulberry leaves are put on the silkworms, they start to cook like hungry wolves.

In the next week, Qiao Manman will be feeding the silkworm babies spiritual energy mulberry leaves. During the process, the silkworm babies shed their skin once. They are one age older than the silkworm babies in the silkworm room. They are about to spin silk and form cocoons. Qiao Manman always pays attention to it. Keep an eye on the silkworm babies and make sure they eat enough mulberry leaves.

Silkworm baby is a foodie, and he eats about 50 times his own weight in mulberry leaves every day. Qiao Manman's silkworm baby is even more of a foodie, and he eats twice as much Reiki mulberry leaves every day. This period of time has exhausted her.

Finally, when the silkworms spun silk and formed cocoons, Qiao Manman went to the mountains to find several dyeing plants.

The people at home were also busy with the silkworm babies in the silkworm room. In the corner where no one cared, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were already growing crazily. Grandpa Qiao found that he could not finish picking all the vegetables every day, so he gave some to the aunt next door. .
