Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 98
Because of the weather, there is no way to artificially control the sequence of time intervals for the hatching of ice jade silkworms. The difference is no more than one day at most, which is completely different from the original estimate.

Young silkworms don’t eat much when they are young, but when they go to sleep, they still have plenty of mulberry leaves. Although it is not enough to keep up with it, it is estimated that it is not enough. As silkworms grow older, their food intake increases. It has increased several times.

However, there is not enough rain in spring this year, so the mulberry leaves are not as good as last year. Correspondingly, the price of mulberry leaves has risen by about [-]% compared to last year.

Because the Wu family attaches great importance to it, and has already found a supply place for mulberry leaves, but because of the distance, the cost will definitely increase and there is no time interval, and the cost of hiring people will also increase a lot accordingly, so this batch of ice jade silkworms There must be absolutely no loss.

Even a young master like Wu Xiang, who doesn't care about things, knows the seriousness, let alone Uncle Niu and his other managers.

Before Gu Shi could say anything, Uncle Niu knew about it, and his face immediately turned ugly.The steward who brought Yan Qinghua in was one of his side relatives, and he had already said that he would just learn how to raise the ice house if he didn't want to cause trouble. Who knew that he would provoke the two young masters in just a few days.

This little girl came in with other intentions, such a person cannot be kept.

Uncle Niu immediately called the steward and asked her to send Yan Qinghua back. If she didn't leave, she would go to another place to be a mulberry picking girl and suffer for a while. Do you dare to have other thoughts?

This steward is also surnamed Liu, besides being a little greedy, he is also a little capable, otherwise he would not be able to climb to the steward position. He brought Yan Qinghua in mainly because he had a little friendship with Qinghua Niang and gained some benefits. got into this big trouble.

But as a country girl, she dared to think about the young master, and didn't even look at her identity. Arrange to go."

"In the future, don't engage in such crooked thoughts, or I won't be able to protect you when the time comes." Uncle Niu warned in a deep voice.

Guanshi Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and immediately went to look for Yan Qinghua as soon as he left. This girl was lying on the bed at this time, thinking about how to deal with Gu Qingya, and how to run into the two young masters again.

As soon as he entered the door, Guanshi Liu rolled up Yan Qinghua's things casually and threw them on her body, "You girl, you have a big heart. If you dare to move the young master's idea, this old lady was almost troubled by you. Go, go, my old lady can't serve you well." rise."

Yan Qinghua was shocked, and jumped off the bed with her things in her arms. Looking at Guanshi Liu, she felt angry, but she didn't dare to vent her anger. She twisted her face, and asked in a wronged voice: "Auntie, what's the matter? What did I do wrong?"

"You still have the guts to ask, go, if you don't go, I can't protect you. When you are sent to some poor village to pick mulberries, and then you are forced to marry, you just wait to cry!" Liu Guanshi took a breath, He said fiercely, these words were not a threat, but a reminder to Yan Qinghua that if he did not leave, he would not be able to leave, after all, he still had some friendship with Qinghua Niang.

When Yan Qinghua heard this, her little face turned pale with fright. Last year, she was a mulberry picker near the village where she had heard people say that some people went to those remote places to work as mulberry pickers and were forced to stay and marry. She didn't want terrible things to happen to her.

"I knew it, that bitch Gu Qingya must have said something again, almost killed me, I won't let you go." Yan Qinghua lowered her head, thinking bitterly in her heart.

"Auntie, but when I go back, how do I explain to my mother, what should I do?" Yan Qinghua pretended to be pitiful and said, she didn't want to go back in embarrassment, and then get a bad reputation of trying to hook up with the young master and being driven away.

"Fortunately, no one knows about this. I will tell people that ice jade silkworms are not easy to raise. You are not proficient enough to stay." Manager Liu thinks that Gu Shi is not pleasing to the eye, so he is going to tell Gu Shi about this matter. Putting some eye drops on it made people feel that Gu's narrow-mindedness only took his own daughter and Liu Bingbing away, and drove the other little girls away.

Of course Yan Qinghua was not willing to leave here, but listening to Liu Guanshi's words, she would not say that it was her own reasons, so she felt relieved, "It's Qinghua's fault, thank you for taking care of me these few days, I will pay more attention in the future."

Liu Guanshi looked at Yan Qinghua's well-behaved appearance, and he had a good temper, so why did he have a big heart? Turning a sparrow into a phoenix is ​​actually so easy to do?

As soon as Yan Qinghua left, she was the happiest being Liu Bingbing. If the environment didn't allow it, she would have sang a folk song a long time ago.

And Uncle Niu beat the stewards and other women who boiled silkworms one by one. He was relieved to see that everyone put their minds aside and concentrated on doing what Gu Shi said, but he also decided , Come here every day to avoid similar things from happening again.

After the silkworms had a head sleep, their food intake increased, and they divided the baskets again. We must always pay attention to the amount of mulberry leaves, and check it every half an hour, so we cannot be negligent.

The Wu family arranged for two people to look at the six silkworm rooms and pay attention to each other to prevent any omissions. Among them, the Gu family was the hardest one. It took a lot of time and energy to check each silkworm room.

Of course, what Gu Shi worried about was not the process of boiling silkworms, but the reeling of silk after cocooning. If the processing was not completed in a short period of time, the quality of silkworm cocoons would drop several grades when the silkworm chrysalis turned into a moth.

But according to last year's experience, ice jade silk is also difficult to serve, rich experience is useless, one must have intuition, otherwise the silk produced will not be good.

Other types of silkworms have used various methods to preserve cocoons in order to prolong the time of moth moth, but those are not suitable for ice jade silkworm. Once this is done, the color of ice jade silk will be affected, let alone the finished product. The kind of cold feeling.

Although there is still more than half a month before silk reeling, this matter needs to be found now. Cocooning without intervals cannot be completed in a short period of time, and Gu Shi has no way to complete the silk reeling like last year. packaged.

Since he had this concern, Gu directly told Uncle Niu to report it to the person in charge and ask them to find out how other silk brocade production places deal with this situation, and whether there is a better silk reeling method.

Gu Shi is sure that there are delicate silkworms like the Bingyu silkworm, so there must be other ways to deal with them. If the time is not really tight, she thinks she can research it.

Gu Qingya also knew what Gu's troubles were, but she had no way to give advice. The bookshelves that can be seen in the library at present do not include silkworm breeding, reeling, silk spinning and weaving, which is really anxious.

This matter attracted the attention of Mr. Wu, and after a lot of effort, he finally found out something about it when the silkworms went up the mountain, which is called cold silk reeling.
