The supernatural peasant girl has some fields

Chapter 22 Silkworm Baby

"Daughter-in-law, are you awake?" Chen Ye came in and saw Ning Xiaoqi woke up, and said with a smile.

Ning Xiaoqi nodded, her back hurt. She stood up and twisted her waist, finally feeling better.

Seeing that Chen Ye actually cooked millet porridge this morning, it made Ning Xiaoqi greedy.

For Ning Xiaoqi who had never eaten rice since she came here, the rice porridge in the morning greatly satisfied her.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't rest for a moment, he carried his bow and arrows directly after eating, and planned to go up the mountain.

"Are you going up the mountain so early?"

Chen Ye nodded. He still owed so much money. He wanted to take advantage of the good weather and go to the mountains to hunt more prey and come back. Otherwise, when would he be able to pay back? Mother calls you again, don't answer."

"You have to go for a few more days." Ning Xiaoqi asked worriedly.

Chen Ye smiled and patted Ning Xiaoqi's head, "I'll be back at night."

After what happened last time, he said that he dared not let Ning Xiaoqi stay at home alone for a few days. If something happened, it would be too late when he came back.

Ning Xiaoqi nodded, "Then I will go up the mountain with you today, and it happens that there are not many vegetables in the land at home, so I will go and pick up some more."

Before Chen Ye could refuse, Ning Xiaoqi packed the table, went to the kitchen to get a small basket, and took Chen Ye out together.

As for Fluffy, I gave it something to eat in the morning, and it is sleeping soundly now, Ning Xiaoqi was afraid that Fluffy would be hungry if he was not at home, so he specially cooked a bowl of corn paste for Fluffy to eat when Fluffy wakes up.

When we arrived at the mountain, because it hadn't rained for several days, many of the ground vegetables had dried up, so Ning Xiaoqi could only go to a more humid place to look for them.

In this way, the day passed quickly, Chen Ye went to hunt inside, and Ning Xiaoqi picked up the ground vegetables and walked around.

The scenery on the mountain is good, everything is pure natural, and there are all kinds of floral fragrances in the air, which smell very comfortable.

Ning Xiaoqi stretched her waist, looked around, put the basket in the grass to cover it up, and ran around by herself.

The mountains behind them are so big that you can't see the bottom at a glance, and one mountain is connected to another.

Ning Xiaoqi learned the lesson from the black wolf last time, she didn't dare to go too deep, if she met the big black wolf again, it would be fatal, she didn't think she would be lucky to escape every time.

They could only wander around the periphery, waiting for Chen Ye to come back.

This turn made Ning Xiaoqi find a lot of surprises. In the mountains and forests, there is really everything. Ning Xiaoqi found a lot of wild vegetables. Although they are not good things, these are not necessarily available in rural areas. You can eat it.

Only in this ancient environment without any pollution can it grow.

Going further in, Ning Xiaoqi suddenly saw a big mulberry tree with many green leaves growing on it, it is said that where there are mulberry trees, there must be silkworms

.

Speaking of silkworms, Ning Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, spread the branches in front of him, walked towards the mulberry tree, and looked around. It is the hatching season of silkworms from the end of March to May.

If there are silkworms, there may be a way to make a fortune.

The silk clothes they usually wear are not made of silk spun by silkworms, and if they become silkworm chrysalis, they can still be eaten, and they are rich in protein.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoqi became even more excited. Generally, there would be wild silkworms on mulberry trees. I don't know if she could be lucky enough to meet them.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. Ning Xiaoqi searched for a long time but still couldn't find a silkworm. Could it be that this mulberry tree has no silkworm babies.

The hope that had just been established in her heart was poured down by a basin of cold water, and Ning Xiaoqi felt a little stuffy.

Sure enough, it's still early, and I can come back in April and a half to see if there is any
.

Ning Xiaoqi turned around in frustration.

As a result, I happened to see some holes and signs of being bitten on the small leaves in front of me.

Ning Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, she hurried over, and gently lifted the leaves, hey! !
The two white little guys on the back of the leaf were still happily eating the leaf, Ning Xiaoqi suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes, she really let her find the silkworm.

After picking off the whole leaves, Ning Xiaoqi ran out to get the basket, and continued to search, as long as there were leaves that had been bitten, Ning Xiaoqi looked through them one by one. There are actually dozens of silkworm babies.

Ning Xiaoqi bloomed with a smile, and picked some mulberry leaves to go back. Raising silkworms does not need to be troublesome, as long as the leaves are fresh, they are just enough for silkworm babies to be practical.

When Ning Xiaoqi came out, Chen Ye also came back, with some blood on her body, which immediately frightened Ning Xiaoqi, put down the basket and ran over worriedly, "Sir, are you injured?? Where is it?"

Chen Ye smiled and shook his head, "Daughter-in-law, it's not my blood, it's this guy's."

Chen Ye raised the things in his hand with a smile.

"Wild boar!" Ning Xiaoqi exclaimed.

Chen Ye had a half-sized wild boar in his hand. Wild boars are very ferocious. Ning Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine, my husband. Let's go back. It just so happens that I will tell you some good news later."

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and nodded. It was already dark when the two of them went down the mountain. They could walk back to this small road with their eyes closed.

Back in the yard, the first thing Ning Xiaoqi did was to go and see the furry in the house.

Opening the door, they saw Fluffy lying on their bed with a contented face, and the corn mush in the bowl on one side had bottomed out.

Ning Xiaoqi shook her head with a smile, put down all the things on her hands, and said to Chen Ye, "Sir, you change your clothes first, and I will cook."

Chen Ye nodded. There were bloodstains on his body, which really made people look a little scary.

After going to the kitchen, Ning Xiaoqi fiddled with two simple dishes, one was the wild vegetables she picked today, the other was a bowl of fried rabbit meat, baked a few pancakes, and the dinner was finished.

After eating, Ning Xiaoqi couldn't wait to find a useless dustpan and put all the silkworm babies in it.

Chen Ye looked at him in a daze, what was his daughter-in-law doing with Ye Zi?Could it be that this is edible again? "Daughter-in-law? What do you want this leaf for?"

Ning Xiaoqi picked up a leaf with a smile, and asked Chen Ye to look carefully, "Sir, look carefully, there is something on this leaf."

Chen Ye took a closer look, and there really was, little one, if Ning Xiaoqi hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have noticed, but... "Daughter-in-law, what's the use of these little bugs?"

"Hey, is this a bug or a silkworm?"

"Silkworm??" Chen Ye obviously didn't understand.

Ning Xiaoqi explained, "Yes, silkworms are very useful. When they grow up, they can spin silk, and the silk that comes out can be used to make clothes. It's what people call silk cloth. It's very expensive to sell, and it's also edible. It is rich in protein and very nutritious.”
