Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 29
Shen Jintang found a few goose feathers, sterilized them with hot water, and dried them to take care of the silkworms.

There are two hundred acres of fields in Zhuangzi, and it is a big project just to make the medicinal powder for the two hundred acres of fields.

What's more, she can't count on the help of her family in this kind of matter, so she can only be busy all by herself, wishing to divide one day into two.

After finally making all the insecticide powder, more than half a month has passed.

Shen Jintang found those tenants, distributed the powder to them, and told them how to use it.

Those tenants didn't expect that the newly changed master's house could make this kind of insecticide powder, and they were all very excited.

If they could really kill the bugs on those crops, they would save a lot of effort.

You only need to weed the grass in the field every day, and take it home to feed the pigs.

Now they spend most of their time catching bugs in the fields, and they can't finish catching them no matter how hard they try.

The contract signed between the former owner and the tenants in this village was that the owner would receive [-]% of the grain and the tenants [-]%.

After Shen Jintang took over, he gave these tenants [-]% more, which became [-]% for her and [-]% for the tenants.

Those tenants were already very grateful to her, and now that she has made insecticide powder, those tenants can't wait to offer her up as a Bodhisattva.

Now the silkworms in the space have reached their fourth instar and have shed their skin three times.

After shedding the skin again and reaching the fifth age, after eating mulberry leaves for a few days, it will enter the mature stage, spinning silk and cocooning.

After these silkworms have passed through these two breedings, the number will already be quite large.

Shen Jintang thought, before winter, it should be possible to take out a batch and put them in the farm for breeding.

But first she had to build several silkworm rooms in the village.

The temperature in the space is suitable, but it is different from the outside world.

These silkworms have requirements for temperature and humidity, and if one is not properly raised, it will cause a large number of illnesses and deaths.

The corn seedlings in the eight-acre field exchanged with Mrs. Shen have also been treated with insecticide powder, so they only need to go to the field to weed occasionally.

Therefore, the father and son Shen Mu and Shen Yun stayed in the room all day long to study and study.

Shen Yunxuan went up to the town's martial arts hall to practice martial arts for half a day every day, occasionally went hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, and sometimes read books and practiced calligraphy at home.

Wu Qiuniang was also restless, so she took over a handkerchief embroidering job from the town, and she would pay ten cents for a handkerchief after it was embroidered.

On this day, when Shen Yunxuan came back from the martial arts gym in the town, he brought back a piece of news.

At the beginning, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu of the Wu Mansion wanted Wu Qiuniang and Shen Muheli to marry Mr. Hu, the landlord of the town. After Wu Qiuniang broke up with the Wu family because of this, Mr. Hu married a fourth stepwife soon after. .

The fourth step-wife was a young girl who had just reached the age of Ji.

As a result, not long after marrying him, news spread that she contracted an illness and died.

Some people said that the fourth stepwife was tortured to death by him, while others said that it was the aunts of Mr. Hu who tortured him to death.

All in all, it has everything to say.

If Wu Qiuniang was the one who married in back then, she would have been the one who got the news of her illness and death today.

After Shen Jintang and others heard the news, they were silent for a while and then forgot about it.

Shen Jintang has already started to hire someone to build a silkworm room in the village.

After the silkworms in the space break out of their cocoons and become butterflies and lay their eggs, the silkworm room in the village can almost be built.

At night, Shen Jintang fed freshly picked mulberry leaves to the silkworms, and opened a can of mulberry wine made before.

The wine is purple-red, and a burst of tangy fragrance mixed with the faint aroma of fermented wine rushes into the nose.

Shen Jintang's eyes lit up, and he poured some into the bowl that was placed in the space before.

These wines have not been filtered, so there are still impurities of mulberries in them.

Shen Jintang blew on the impurities floating on the wine, and took a sip cautiously.

The entrance is sweet and sour, and the aroma of the wine is tangy. It is much better than the wine in those taverns outside.

She had thought about brewing these mulberry wines and selling them for silver flowers, but now that there is no shortage of silver, she might as well keep them in the space for her family to drink.

Therefore, Shen Jintang poured a drop of golden lotus liquid into each of the other wine jars.

After thinking about it, he took out a can of mulberry wine that had been filled with golden lotus liquid at the beginning, and gave it to his parents, eldest brother and second brother to taste.

Shen Mu was a little tired from reading, so he put down the book and came out to rest his eyes.

Then I saw Shen Jintang walking over with a clay pot in his arms.

"Father, come and sit in the room." Shen Jintang called him with a smile and said, "Give you a taste of the mulberry wine I brewed."

Shen Mu looked at her in surprise and said, "Mulberry wine? Is it the wine made from the fruits of those mulberry trees?"

Shen Jintang nodded and poured some for him.

Then Wu Qiuniang, Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yun were called.

When they learned that the wild fruit can actually make wine, they were also surprised.

Shen Mu smelled the tangy aroma, picked up the bowl and took a sip, then nodded his eyes and praised: "Not bad, good wine. But, why does this wine have a scent of lotus?"

"Maybe it's the smell from the fermented mulberries." Shen Jintang said vaguely.

Shen Jintang also poured some for himself, and after drinking it, he thought that the taste of this mulberry wine with golden lotus liquid was too bad from the one without golden lotus liquid.

This can of mulberry wine with golden lotus liquid can be regarded as the best wine.

The wine is slightly cool in the throat, slightly sour and slightly sweet.

When it passes through the throat and reaches the stomach, it feels like the whole body is warmed up, but it doesn't make people feel the scorching heat on the upper face.

"It's delicious, and it won't burn your throat." Shen Yunxuan pursed his lips after drinking, and said aftertaste.

Shen Yun's eyes lit up after drinking, he looked at the can of mulberry wine and said to Shen Jintang a little excitedly: "Little sister, this mulberry wine you made is really good, I feel more awake after drinking it , Drinking this sip of wine when you are endorsing will definitely make you remember faster."

Shen Jintang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

Her big brother is really a book lover!As long as I have a little time, I will go to the room to read and practice calligraphy, and I will not delay for a moment.

After Wu Qiuniang finished drinking, she also smiled and said, "The wine made by Tang'er is quite suitable for women."

Shen Jintang said with a smile: "There are so many mulberry trees transplanted in the village now, and we can brew the mulberries every year to drink. If there are too many mulberries, we can sell them."

The whole body of the mulberry tree is full of treasures, and the mulberry leaves can be fed to silkworms and used as medicine.

Mulberry wood can be used to make furniture, farm tools, and small building materials.

Mulberry bark can be used to make paper, mulberry sticks can be used to weave baskets, and mulberries can be used to make wine.

Now all the mulberry trees in Zhuangzi are transplanted from the mountains, and they are not considered high-quality mulberry trees. When she has time to cut more mulberry branches and plant them in the space, the cultivated mulberry trees will be of higher grades.
