The ugly daughter-in-law of the farm gate: the sweet wife of the husband in the mountains

Chapter 49 Whiter Silkworm Cocoons

The silkworms raised by silkworm farmers in Yunshui Town began to weave silk one after another, and the Tan family in the town was also busy harvesting cocoons and silk.

Yao Dong was also very busy, going everywhere to collect them.This time, the silk produced by the Tan family is not good, and the quality is not good, so Mr. Tan hopes to collect more cocoons.

The silkworms at home don't need to be taken care of carefully after spinning, and Wang is also busy with the work in the field.

Some of Zhou's fields are planted with mulberry trees, and others are planted with rice.

Ye Xi's injury hasn't fully healed yet, but Mrs. Wang doesn't let her go to work in the fields, so she just does the housework at home.

Knowing that Ye Xi was at home, Yao Nu came to talk to Ye Xi with a needlework basket and did some needlework along the way.

In this rural area, many people have to make their own clothes and shoes, so there is a lot of needlework throughout the year.Also, if you have good embroidery skills, you can also pick up some embroidery work from the town and earn some money to supplement your family.

Ye Xi watched Yao Nu embroidering shoe uppers, her embroidery was very vivid.

"Your skills are really good." Ye Xi said with a smile.She remembered that her grandma in her previous life would also make shoes for her and Xiao Yi. Although there were no shortage of all kinds of shoes on the market in that era, she still cherished the shoes made by her grandma.

The clothes are light and warm, and when I think back, my memory is full of warmth.

It's a pity that she didn't learn grandma's craft.

"When it comes to embroidery skills, no one from all over the world can compare with Aunt Ye's! The flowers she embroiders seem to be alive." Yao Nu said suddenly. "It's a pity that she passed away early."

Ye Xi recalled the memory about Mrs. Xie, probably because Mrs. Xie had passed away for too long, and her memory was very vague.

However, she knew that Mrs. Xie was good at embroidering, and because of her good craftsmanship, there were people who came to Mrs. Xie to help embroider the wedding dress at that time.

At that time, the life of the Ye family was pretty good.

However, in recent years, Ye Degui rushed to the exam several times, and his family's wealth was almost scattered.

Reading in this era is quite a luxury. Books, paper and pens are not cheap, the cost of studying, the cost of rushing to take exams... everything is costly.

Mrs. Xie left early, neither Ye Xi nor Xinyao had ever learned the skills of Mrs. Xie. Every time someone in the village mentioned this matter, they felt a little regretful.

"It's all my fault, what are you talking about?" Yao Nu hurriedly slapped her lips.

"Mother has passed away for many years, I won't think about it." Ye Xi shook his head.

After sitting and talking for a while, Yao Nu said that she wanted to see the cocoons that Zhou's silkworms spun out this time, and the two of them went to the silkworm house.

After seeing the silkworm cocoon, Yao Nu was rather surprised, "How come your silk is so white?" She stretched out her hand to gently caress the silkworm cocoon.

"Is it whiter than yours?" Ye Xi was a little surprised by Yao Nu's reaction, in her opinion, isn't all silk so white?

"It's whiter than my family's." Yao Nu nodded seriously, "It's really your silkworms that are better."

"What do you mean? Aren't they all raised the same?" Ye Xi smiled, but suddenly remembered that the silkworms at home had fed Tuo Ye.

Previously, Wang was worried that there were not enough mulberry leaves, so she suggested feeding some mulberry leaves.My grandma once said that feeding some rubbing leaves in an appropriate amount can make the silk tough and shiny.

In this way, could it be that this is the credit of Tuo Ye?
"You must have used some good method, didn't you?" Yao Nu looked at Ye Xi seriously. "Tell me quickly."
