Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 100 Success
The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the water in the pot was gradually steaming. Gu stretched out his hand to feel the water surface, then grabbed four or five cocoons from the basket on the side and threw them in. In the water basin on the side, after doing this several times, the water basin next to it was already full of silkworm cocoons.

The temperature in this water basin is about one-third lower than the temperature in the pot. Gu Shi picked it up casually, and a strand of silk came up. It kept moving, and from time to time picked out a few silkworm cocoons that had been threaded and only had the chrysalis lining left, and threw them into the bamboo basket beside them.

When the cocoons in the water basin were almost ready, Gu Shi stepped forward to check the color and other conditions of the silk. Mrs. Wu also came up and talked to Gu Shi in a low voice.

Gushi went to another silk cart, which was to reel the silk with the original method, and when a part was made, it was taken off for comparison with the silk made before.

Gu Qingya also approached curiously, she also wanted to see the difference between the two, but her understanding of Si was not as good as that of Gu's after all, so she couldn't see any difference.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wu was a little excited, she looked at Gu Shi and said, "The silk made by this method is better in color, but there is not much difference in other things. After further processing, the woven silk and other fabrics will be even more colorful. This year's bet is right." .”

Because Gu's people are busy boiling silkworms, they don't pay attention to the outside situation. Naturally, they don't know that because of the weather, many silkworms raised this year will get sick and die a lot. It's hard to say whether they can keep their capital. For the increase, as long as they can maintain the same output as last year, they will definitely make a profit.

Gushi didn't speak right away, felt two small handfuls of silk, walked to the water basin, and stretched out his hand to check the temperature, "If the temperature is two minutes higher, the color will be better."

"You try again?" Mrs. Wu did not doubt Gu's words, Gu's words must have her considerations.

Sure enough, the color of the re-made silk is two points better than the first one. Sure enough, the temperature of the ice jade silk is very important, and other silks only need to be at the same temperature, so there are so many differences.

"Ma'am, this method can be used for all silkworm cocoons. You can see if you want to spread it." For Gu Shi, her family does not raise silkworms and sell silk. It is not up to her whether this better method should be kept secret or passed on. too much difference.

Mrs. Wu heard the words and took a look at Gu Shi, "Don't talk about this matter. When this batch of silk comes out, you and your mother and daughter will not be treated badly. And the silk reelers will make other arrangements. I hope you will The temperature told them that it is best to finish it in a short time."

Gu Shi nodded. With so many silkworm cocoons, she would definitely die of exhaustion all by herself. Anyway, the ice jade silkworms are delicate, and the temperature required is a little different every year. As long as no one is as fond of ice jade silkworms as she is, then The Wu family will always need her.

"Because ice jade silk has relatively high temperature requirements, I hope that the people Madam finds are more aware of temperature, otherwise the impact will be great." Gu Shi does not want to be blamed for other people's mistakes.

"It's inevitable." Mrs. Wu said, "Mother and daughter, don't worry, I'll arrange someone right away." After speaking, Mrs. Wu left in a hurry, not forgetting to take the three small handfuls of silk with her.

"Is this the silk made this year?" Master Wu looked at the three small handfuls of silk on the table and took a closer look. He only saw a little difference, so he asked someone to take out a black warm slate and put the silk on it. It will be clear immediately.

"Father, the silk made this year is better than last year." Uncle Wu took a closer look and could easily tell which one was made last year. "Are the other two made by other methods?"

"Yes, the mother and daughter Gu Xiaoling came up with the method of cold reeling silk. These two are made under different temperature conditions. According to them, this method is suitable for all silkworm cocoons." This is what Mrs. Wu values ​​most. a little.

After hearing this, Master Wu also paid attention to it, "Boss, you should go and arrange people right away. Be strict with your mouth. If there are few people, you can work overtime. You must not let this matter out."

"Wait, silk making and cocoon cooking can be separated. Cocoon cooking must be sensitive to temperature control, while silk reeling should be skilled." Mrs. Wu recalled Gu Shi's explanation and said immediately.

The reason why the original method is difficult to learn is that it is necessary to control the temperature and reel the silk. Mrs. Wu can do it herself.

"This is easy to handle." Uncle Wu thought about it and immediately made a few lists, but it still needs Uncle Niu to confirm the situation further.

Just in time, Wu Xiang and Jiang Rongan came over. These days, they almost searched the study room, but they couldn't find any relevant content, so they made a few guesses based on the literal meaning, and when they entered the room, they saw the three little books on the table. Take the silk.

"Grandpa, do you know what cold reeling is?" Wu Xiang asked in surprise. Although he said he didn't do anything, the difference between the three handfuls of silk could still be seen.

"That's right, but this method can't be made public, at least not until our family's ice jade silk has become famous." Master Wu said specially, sometimes this grandson just thinks too little.

In Tianxiang County next door, there are many rare varieties, and there are many similar to their own ice jade silkworms. If the cold reeling silk is spread, Tianxiang County will definitely benefit the most, which is not good for them.

Jiang Rong'an didn't speak, looking at the appearances of the elders, the mother and daughter of the Gu family should have come up with this idea, maybe Gu Qingya actually came up with it?

I don't know why, but he just intuited that Gu Qingya is the most likely, maybe she is different from others?In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought about asking other people for advice through the system, but asking questions about learning is different in nature from asking this kind of question, so he plans to ask when he has no choice.

Wu Xiang is not stupid, "Grandpa, I know, I'm not stupid. Rong An and I thought of a few ideas, but it seems that they are useless, and there is nothing in the book."

When Uncle Wu heard this, he patted Wu Xiang on the back of the head, "Stinky boy, are you still serious with me?" In the past, Wu Xiang didn't study hard, so he just said that there is everything in the book, but now he uses it to stop himself up.

"Oh, Dad, what are you doing so hard?" Wu Xiang called out, and jumped behind Jiang Rongan, "I'm not wrong."

"Okay, Xiang'er, don't make trouble. If you're curious, go and have a look with Rong An." Mrs. Wu shook her head, there are many things to do now, "But you have finished reading, you should continue to study, and it will be in April. Exam."

"Auntie, don't worry, with me watching, he dare not stop reading." Jiang Rongan smiled and glanced at Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang felt his whole body trembling, and felt that hard times were coming again.
