Chapter 84

This girl is called Ye Zi, and she is the first batch of original people created by herself. She has never taken a surname. She likes to see all kinds of leaves, so she named herself Ye Zi, and likes to be in the forest every day. Drilling around and picking all kinds of fruits is a good hand. After practicing, the body has the power of the mind, the body is strengthened, and it is even more enjoyable to climb up and down the trees.Also like to collect some oddly shaped leaves.

But recently, she has always liked to squat on the mulberry tree. Sometimes, she squats for a long time.

All of this was in Zhong Yan's eyes.

"I've been paying attention to you for a few days. You've been here this month. How are you doing? What did you see?"

Zhong Yan asked with a smile.

"Patriarch, Ye Zi found a kind of worm. This kind of worm is very special. At the beginning, it was just a small black dot. They can eat mulberry leaves. They eat quickly and grow very fast. They will molt every few days. , Then, they will grow bigger, become snow-white, very beautiful, very cute, but recently, they don’t eat or drink, suddenly spit out a lot of white silk, wrap themselves together, I don’t know what it is what happened."

Ye Zi excitedly told Zhong Yan about her discovery, and then became depressed again.

The situation where she was suddenly wrapped in silk made her completely unaware of what was going on, and she was very worried. After all, she watched these little guys grow up, and it was inevitable that she would be concerned. Just curious, not sure what this is going to turn into.

"Hehe, if you want to know the result, Ye Zi, it should be almost there now. Look carefully."

Zhong Yan gestured with a smile.

Click! !
At this moment, a crisp tearing sound could be heard. Looking carefully, the white cocoon wrapped in mulberry leaves was quickly bitten open a hole. In the hole, I saw a A chubby moth with a pair of white wings came out and waved its wings, but it seemed that it was too fat to fly up. It landed on the mulberry leaf next to it and gathered with other moths. Not long after, Climbing to the branch again, from the abdomen, it seemed that pieces of eggs fell on the branch, one piece of pale yellow.

"Patriarch, what kind of bug is this?"

Ye Zi blinked and asked eagerly.

"This is called mulberry silkworm. Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves. They eat a lot of fresh mulberry leaves every day. They grow and metamorphose rapidly. Every time they shed their skin, they transform and grow. It only takes about a month to spit out silk and form cocoons. Self-binding until the last metamorphosis is completed, turning into silk moths, silk moths cannot fly, and after mating with the opposite sex, they will start to lay silkworm eggs, and these silkworm eggs will hatch again at a suitable temperature, giving birth to more silkworm."

"The silk that these silkworms spit out is used for weaving silk, silk quilts and other silk fabrics. It is an excellent material that can be woven into cloth, which is much better than those burlap."

Zhong Yan explained with a smile.

"Patriarch, are you saying that these silks can be woven into cloth and made into clothing fabrics. It's the same as the silk fabrics that Sister Xiaoyun said."

Ye Zi's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

During this period of time, Fairy Lake City and Starry Sky City are also constantly communicating and adapting. A lot of new information has been transmitted from Fairy Lake City. Naturally in mind.

Sometimes, the clothes worn by the people in Fairy Lake City can arouse the curiosity of the tribe, wanting to find out how it is made.

Of course, there are fabrics in the city of stars, but they are all purchased from the city of origin, and they are all finished products, and there is no way to make them.In Xianhu City, there are people who know how to weave cloth. After coming here, they also taught the original people how to weave cloth with fibers such as hemp, and finished cloth has been woven.

But what is woven from burlap is just burlap, which is very rough.

You know, in the Chinese lineage, weaving has been passed down for a long time.

The woven fabrics are divided into several grades, namely: brocade, damask, silk, satin, linen, and coarse cloth.

The first level, brocade: Silk textile fabrics, re-organized, colorful yarn-dyed jacquard silk fabrics woven with multi-color silk threads.Brocade is a well-known jacquard silk. There is an ancient saying that "weaving and harvesting are writing, and its price is like gold".There are Shu brocade, Song brocade and Yun brocade.

The second grade, damask: Silkworm self-woven fabric; adopts twill weave or twill variation weave, silk fabric with diagonal weave on the surface of the fabric, and the texture is light and thin.In the early days, the surface of the fabric was mountain-shaped twill, which "looked like ice", so it was called damask.

The third grade, silk: silk and linen blended fabric; silk fabric with plain weave or variable weave, interlaced warp and weft.Silk is the general term for silk fabrics.Its characteristics are: the silk surface is crisp and fine, and it feels smooth.Silk fabrics without other distinctive features can be called silk.

The fourth grade, satin: fine hemp silk textile fabric; using satin weave or satin variation weave, the appearance is smooth, bright and fine silk fabric.

The fifth grade, burlap: burlap silk textile fabric; burlap is a kind of fabric made of various hemp plant fibers such as flax, ramie, jute, sisal hemp, and abaca.Products made of linen have the characteristics of breathable and refreshing, soft and comfortable, washable, sun-resistant, anti-corrosion and antibacterial.

The sixth grade, coarse cloth: cotton and silk textile fabric; coarse cloth, also known as earthen cloth, is made of pure cotton and carefully woven with primitive spinning wheels and wooden looms. It has a very long history.

Huaxia's silk has always been famous all over the world.

Regarding the question about the leaves, Zhong Yan also nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, as long as these silks can be woven into cloth, they can make exquisite and beautiful clothes, which are very soft and comfortable to wear. Your discovery is extremely valuable. If we can find silkworms, we can raise them to collect cocoons and obtain silk. In the future, we will be able to weave silk. Your discovery has made great contributions.”

"Great, can I raise these silkworms?"

When Ye Zi heard it, her eyes showed excitement, and the beautiful clothes made of silk reappeared in her mind, and her heart was filled with longing and anticipation.She wanted to see that all the members of the clan could wear the silk clothes she raised, how beautiful that would be.

"Of course, and you can also bring other people to raise silkworms. We can breed a large number of silkworms and obtain a large amount of silk, so that everyone can wear beautiful and exquisite clothes."

Zhong Yan said with a smile.

There are many mulberry trees nearby, and mulberry trees can be transplanted with branches, so it is not difficult to plant them.Breeding silkworms is not difficult, as long as you pay attention to some problems, you can harvest a batch of silkworms at regular intervals.If there is enough silk, it can fully meet the needs of the territory. Moreover, hemp silk or even cotton silk can be used for weaving. In this case, it is excellent to solve the problem of clothing.

Now, Liu Qingyun and the others have already started to arrange the planting of cotton.Cotton Seeds have also been purchased from Origin City before.As long as you plant it at the right time and harvest a batch, you can solve some problems, such as quilts, cotton clothes and so on.

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will take my sisters to raise silkworms carefully, and it won't take much time to raise silkworms, as long as the mulberry leaves are replaced on time, I remember it very clearly, and I will definitely take good care of them and eat enough when the time comes If you are full, spit out more silk, this silk is really thin and soft."

Ye Zi said confidently.

She has carefully observed the whole process of the baby silkworm's transformation, cocoon and egg laying, and naturally understands how to raise silkworms. There may be some problems at the beginning, but she believes that she will be able to solve them.

"Yezi, you don't have a last name yet, do you?"

Zhong Yan looked at Ye Zi with a smile, and said suddenly.

"No no."

Ye Zi's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he looked at Zhong Yan excitedly, his heart was beating violently, and he said expectantly, "Patriarch, can you give me a surname."

"Yezi, you like to observe, discover mulberry trees, find silkworms, and let me be a tribe. You can breed silkworms and obtain silk. Naturally, you are qualified to be given a surname by the patriarch. From today, I will give you a surname, Sang. You have the Sang family. "

Zhong Yan patted Ye Zi's head with a smile, and said.

"Sang, there is Sang's name, and I will have a surname in the future."

Ye Zi, no, it should be called Yousang now, with excitement and joy on his face.In the entire Ling tribe, there are very few people who can be given a surname by Zhong Yan himself.

There are Xiong's, Yi's, Yu's, Wen's, and Tian's.Now we have to add Sang's.

Each of them has played a major role in the development of civilization. Xiong's name is named after his bravery, and his surname is bear hunting; The words are given to Youyi.

You Yu got his surname from fishing, You Wen got his surname because he was the best at learning characters, and You Tian got his surname from reclaiming wasteland and planting rice, which had the highest rice yield.Now there is Sang's surname for discovering silkworms and obtaining silk.

Each one is outstanding.

As long as we are not self-confident, the future can be expected.

"I will inform you to set up a silkworm room in the city of stars. You can choose a hundred women to enter the silkworm room, collect silkworm eggs, and start new breeding."

Zhong Yan then ordered.

"Yes, patriarch, I will promise to complete the task and raise more silk for my tribe."

Sang said with a firm face.

Immediately, with Zhong Yan's order, he bounced to the city.

"Basic clothing, food, housing, and transportation have basically begun to be perfected. The Four Seasons Rice has begun to breed new seedlings again. For clothes, the nearby mulberry and hemp can be weaved. Although the current weaving technology is not too exquisite, it is enough to meet the needs of survival. Need. If you live, the two holy cities of feng shui are growing bigger every day, enough to accommodate all the current population. Living in them is of great benefit to your body. Just open the roads between the cities. The most important thing now is to determine the currency system.”

Zhong Yan murmured to himself.
