Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 45

In the next few days, a batch of silkworms formed cocoons every day.Most of them are milky white cocoons, and a few are golden yellow cocoons.Usually looking at the sixteen dustpans, he didn't think there were too many silkworms. It was only after cocoons formed that Qian Feng realized that he had raised so many silkworms.

In just ten days, he collected five sacks of silkworm cocoons. If he collected them all, there should be six sacks of silkworm cocoons.Qian Feng was secretly happy, thinking that he would definitely be able to sell for a lot of money.He boiled all of these to prevent the silkworm chrysalis from turning into moths and flying out, otherwise the silkworm cocoon would not be sold if it broke, because it would not be able to pull the whole silk.

On this day, Qian Feng saw that there was only the last batch left, so he let the silkworm moths fly out and produced more than 30 silkworm eggs of straw paper.The silkworm eggs on the straw paper were enough for next year, so he secretly put the last silkworm chrysalis that hadn't turned into silkworm moths into the oil pan and fried them.

There's no way, the last time I ate meat was the day I got married, and it's been fifty days since now.He also knows that it is good to eat more vegetables, but he doesn't eat meat for a month or two. He feels uncomfortable in his stomach. A monk even eats meat secretly. His life is more miserable than a monk.

After frying the silkworm chrysalis, he secretly called Song Qiu and Sui Er in to eat.Children are easy to coax, and they are a little scared at first, but after tasting it and find it delicious, they are not afraid of anything.

Mrs. Yang bumped in and saw the three of them eating with gusto, so she ran out and vomited.

Qian Feng yelled: "Mother, you are playing tricks on your heart. You are pregnant with a baby, and what you lack is this kind of high protein."

Song Qiu asked: "Second uncle, what is high protein?"

Hey, this little kid is quite easy to ask.Qian Feng said casually: "Oh, I was wrong, I mean that the meat inside is like egg white, it tastes good, and you will grow taller if you eat more."

Sui'er ate deliciously and said, "Second Uncle, silkworm chrysalis is better than egg white!"

"Ha, heroes see the same thing." Qian Feng stuffed another one into Sui'er's mouth.

At this time they heard the sound of Ge Taohua feeding the pigs outside, Qian Feng said in a panic: "Quickly, wipe your mouth clean, don't let your mother know."

The two little guys ran out wiping their mouths with their sleeves, and Ge Taohua came in and asked, "Second brother, why do I smell a smell of oil, are you frying something?"

Qian Feng put the silkworm chrysalis into the cabinet, and shook his head, "Why, is there something wrong with your nose? If you want fried beans, fry them yourself."

Ge Taohua tilted her mouth, turned her head and left.

Qian Feng secretly thought, sister-in-law's nose is really good!
Pomegranate came back from washing clothes by the river, Qian Feng helped to dry the clothes together, and said: "Pomegranate, we are leaving tomorrow, can these clothes do it? We only have a few clothes, we should take them all with us."

Every time Pomegranate heard that she was going to go out, she got excited and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure I can do it under such a bright sun."

Yang vomited for a while just now, and now she heard her son explain that she will leave tomorrow, her eyes were red, "Son, Yicheng is more than 200 miles away, where are you going to live along the way?"

"Mom, you're here again. Didn't I tell you? If you meet an inn, you stay in an inn. If you don't, you stay in a sleeping bag. I've already made pomegranate two hemp cloth sleeping bags. Don't worry about it."

Mrs. Yang had never heard of sleeping bags before, and said worriedly: "How can you sleep in two bags? If you meet robbers, they will just put you two in the bags and sell them!"

Qian Feng chuckled, "Mother, stop kidding, there aren't that many robbers. Besides, Shiliu and I have prepared self-defense weapons, and no one can touch us."

"What self-defense weapon?"

Qian Feng ran into the house and took out two polished hatchets, "Look, with the hatchet on your waist, who dares to bully me and pomegranate? Even if you have the guts of a leopard."

Yang sighed, "What's the use of two hatchets? By the way, you said you live in a hotel, how can you have money? You only have 39 Wen, and you have to eat and live outside, which is not enough at all. It's all about money. Difficult to earn but unpalatable to eat, you finally saved 39 Wen, and you still have to squander it! Let me tell you, these cocoons are kept at home. If there is no thin thread at home, just take some silk and rub it. Can you twist it into a thread,..."

Yang was still talking, but Qian Feng slipped into the house, and he got a headache from listening too much.He had already figured it out, it was only more than 200 miles to Yicheng, and he could walk a hundred miles in a day on foot, even if he was delayed or rested on the road, he could still walk seventy or eighty miles, that is, it took three days to go out. What's wrong with only three days?Even if you don't eat or drink, you can't starve to death.He was still thinking, if he couldn't sell the cocoons in Yicheng, he would still go to Suzhou.

A good man walks everywhere, nothing to be afraid of.

He went to the kitchen and took off the outer skin of the fried silkworm chrysalis, leaving only the meat inside, then poured it into the porridge and boiled it again.

When the pomegranate came in, he pulled the pomegranate and sat down, "Come, eat the porridge quickly."

Without saying a word, the pomegranate started to eat, "What is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Qian Feng rubbed his eyebrows, "Eat first, and I'll tell you after I'm done."

Sitting outside, Mrs. Yang sighed, her son harmed Pine Ball and Sui Er, and now he is harming Pomegranate again, alas.

The pomegranate was very obedient, he ate it all in one go, and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Yes!" Qian Feng got up, went to bring a large pot of silkworm chrysalis, poured it all into the frying pan and fried it.

Pomegranate's face was white for a while, then blue for a while, and now his face was flushed, and he felt sick but couldn't vomit. When he thought about eating it just now, he thought it was quite delicious.

Qian Feng smiled and said: "I said it was delicious a long time ago, do you believe it now? Fry these up so that we can take them on the road and eat them on the road. Now that the weather is cold, these are not easy to break when we carry them with us. I don’t know how many days I’ll be able to come back after this trip. It’s only 39 Wen, so don’t waste it. Eat on the road."

When it came to going out, Pomegranate became excited again, and ran to scoop up white noodles. As for eating silkworm chrysalis, it was no longer a problem, and she was happy to eat as much as she wanted.

The two of them prepared everything for food and use, and tied six sacks of cocoons to the cart.The two of them got up before dawn the next day, just to make more trips during the day.

Qian Feng brought the ox over, tied the rope to the cart, and put it on the ox.
