Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 46 Learning to Reel Silk

Gu Qingya didn't pay attention to Yan Hongjuan's inexplicable words directed at herself, she was busy, the silkworms raised by Liu Bingbing had already cocooned, she had to help, she was busy, who had time for such inexplicable words.

The weather for raising the second silkworm is not as good as that of the first silkworm, so the quality of the cocoons produced is relatively ordinary, and the size is not too big. It is definitely not as good as the first silkworm, but it is very good for practicing hands.

And the silk that is made may not be able to sell for a high price, but it is still very easy to sell when it is woven into headkerchiefs and handkerchiefs and the like, and dyed.

While peeling the cocoon clothes, Father Yan and Father Liu borrowed the silk cart from the head of the village and made another one. Even the water for boiling the silk was stored as required.

Because of the high weather, silkworm cocoons are more likely to turn into moths, which is also the reason why many people are not willing to raise two silkworms.Those who raise a lot of silkworms will put the silkworm cocoons in urns, sprinkle salt on them, and keep them for a continuous period of time.

But for these two families, not to mention salt, even the urn was an expense. Therefore, Father Liu put the cocoons of silkworm cocoons into the well in a round and oblate bamboo basket that had been woven, which was considered a relatively different method.

Before reeling, Gu called Liu Bingbing and her daughter to her room, and told them about her experience in detail, mainly some tips.

But no matter how much you hear, it’s better to get started and practice. You know exactly how to do it.

Two silk carts, two stoves, one person on one side, Gu Shi walked back and forth between the two, mentioning a few words from time to time.

Gu Qingya lit the fire, controlled the temperature she felt, then grabbed a handful of silkworm cocoons and put them in, stirred them, watched the white silkworm cocoons roll up and down in the water, and when they looked almost the same, she stirred up silk threads, feeling Almost, I put it in the nest, my feet moved slowly, the silk cart turned, the silk thread moved along the track on the silk cart, and the cocoons in the water became thinner and thinner.

Gu Qingya looked at the timing, cut off the thread that had been drawn almost to the point, and connected the newly picked thread, then fished the silkworm cocoon with only a thin chrysalis lining into the basin at the side, stretched out her hand and dropped it again. A handful of cocoons.

After less than a quarter of an hour after doing it, Gu Qingya felt that her whole body was sore, her eyes were blurred, and the thread that was stirred up was thick and thin, not to mention that she had to take off the thread. I can't be too busy.

After doing it for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Qingya heard Gu's voice calling to stop, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, it looks simple, but in practice, it is really difficult.

Gu took down the small ball of silk that the two had already made, called two people, pointed out their mistakes, and told them the correct way.

"However, this is the first time you are making silk. It is already very good that you can do this. Now I will teach you one by one next to me, and the other person will watch carefully and pay attention to the precautions I said."

Gu's words changed, expressing that he was very satisfied with the performance of the two girls, which was much better than ordinary beginners.

"Then Bingbing will come first. You have more problems, but your fire control is very good, and your hand speed is also fast. It will be good to correct these wrong places." Gu Shi said.

"That's the temperature. For beginners, don't put too much cocoon. When stirring, count silently in your heart. When it's about the same time, pick the silk..." Gu Shi taught him hand in hand, from the heat to the water temperature to how to coordinate the hands, feet How to step on the silk cart is too detailed.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu sat in the main room, looking at the situation outside the door, with a smile on her face, "Old man, Yan Mu's house is very good, isn't it? Those gossiping people are not afraid of having their tongues cut off after going to hell."

"The teaching is too detailed, and there is no secret at all!" Even Grandpa Liu couldn't help but sigh, "When we were young, it was passed down by the adults in the family. If we want to learn, we have to pay money. The people who teach It takes a lot of blood and tears to sum up experience.”

"Mu boy's blessing, that girl is also very good, but it's a pity that our grandson is not good enough." Grandma Liu's tone was full of regret.

"Girl Qingya, whoever marries her will be blessed in the future. How many bad daughters will there be if a good mother teaches her? We choose a grandson's daughter-in-law for our grandson. This is the highest moral character. If you marry her, the house will be unsafe. That's a blessing in disguise."

People who have been ill for a long time, either become open-minded and optimistic, and understand a lot of truths that are blinded by the current situation, or they become self-pity, and a good or bad mentality can often change many things.

Gu Qingya listened very carefully at the side, where Liu Bingbing did wrong, she might not be right, and she should not be complacent just because she made fewer mistakes.

For three days in a row, Gu stayed at the silk cart and taught. Fortunately, the two young girls are very capable of learning, and they quickly grasped the main points she said. It is perfect, but if you practice more, you may be able to become a teacher next year.

Because of the farming work in the field, the Gu family did not follow. Let Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing practice on their own. In the end, she will come to check the results. The silk produced every day is marked according to the time, so it is very easy. See if there is any progress.

Liu's father and Liu mother can't tell the good from the bad. In their opinion, the silk made by Liu Bingbing is already very good. After listening to Liu's grandpa and Liu's grandma, how hard the Gu family worked, they killed all the silk. The big rooster stewed a large pot with black beans and sent it to Gu Qingya's house.

Gu Shi was very embarrassed, after all, her daughter used their cocoons to reel silk, which was also the tuition fee for teaching, and it was too polite to cook a few chicken soups here.

"If you're really embarrassed, let Lao Liu find a few pieces of wood, and I'll make them a silk cart, as a reward for Bingbing's going to be a teacher, what do you think?" Yan's father saw that Gu Shi was so entangled, and went out. idea.

"It's feasible, but I remember you made a silk car frame last time, and lost it?" Gu Shi thought about it, and thought it was a good idea.

"You don't need Qingya? Besides, you will also use green tea in the future." The silk car is not difficult, and it is still a piece of cake for Yan Fu, who has learned carpentry. He has never done it before, one is because The Gu family doesn’t need it. She goes to work, and the owner’s family provides it. The second is that there is no place to put it at home, so I just made a bottom line. But now that my daughter is grown up, it’s time to study, and it’s very troublesome to find someone to borrow. of.

"That's right, my daughters are different from me. Next year, let Qingcha follow suit." The second daughter looked much more well-behaved, but Gu Shi felt that she still needed to endure hardships.

So the sad Yan Qingcha, before she knew it, had already been given a study list by Gu Shi, and she would be in dire straits for a long time, which made her cry.
