Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 95 Harvesting Silkworms
Gu Qingya lowered her eyes, as if she didn't see Jiang Rongan's expression, but in fact, she saw it. At that moment, a strange feeling rose in her heart, because she couldn't figure it out, so she Avoid making eye contact with the other person.

Yan Qinghe and Wu Xiang and Jiang Rong'an said a few words, and then left with them, but Gu's Yan father did not leave immediately, but under the arrangement of Uncle Niu, he went to see the seed cloth of Bingyu silkworm.

Different places, as well as the relationship between the species, the number and method of bathing the seeds are different. Because of the particularity of the ice jade silkworm, even with the most common method, it was only done three times.

Gu Qingya followed Gu Shi, looked at the seed cloths one by one, and listened to Gu Shi explain to herself the characteristics of silkworms and the expected hatching time based on her experience.

Because of the success of ice jade silkworms last year, the Wu family has increased the share of ice jade silkworms to 50.00% of the total in this year's silkworm raising plan. This is a very risky approach, and that's why they are so fancy to the Gu family. .

Gu took a quick look, and found that the seed cloth was very well preserved, and she expected it to hatch in about ten days. Fortunately, for this batch of ice jade silkworms, the silkworm rooms of the Wu family were all rebuilt, not to mention the silkworm racks. , bamboo plaques and other silkworm tools, the quality is very good.

Hearing Gu's prediction, Uncle Niu immediately asked someone to pass the information to the head of the family. After receiving the instructions, all parties soon took action to make more adequate preparations for the first silkworm.

Master Wu thought for a while, and asked someone to arrange a sumptuous banquet for the Gu family, and arranged for two young masters to accompany him.

At the end of the meal, from the words of Wu Xiang and Jiang Rong'an, the strict father of the Gu family knew that they were very helpful to his son, and his heart became more and more sure of the decision to boil silkworms this time.

On the way back, Gu Shi and Yan's father carefully discussed some arrangements for this silkworm boiling, and Yan's father would join in the later stage of silkworm boiling, while Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing had to learn from the side at the beginning.

The silk of the ice jade silkworm is unique, as long as the two girls can master the tricks of boiling silkworms and the precautions for silk reeling, there is absolutely no need to worry about food and clothing, and it is always a skill close to the door.

At the same time, Second Uncle Yan's family stayed at Father Yan's house for a long time, but they didn't wait for Father Yan's Gu family. The sense of gap that they wanted to show off but failed made them feel a little unhappy when they left.

But Fang's mood is quite good. The eldest grandson has taken the exam and is very hopeful to get fame, and the second son's family has stayed with her for most of the day, chatted a few more words rarely, and is in good spirits.

After Yan's father Gu came back, he heard what Gu said about Uncle Yan's family, he was surprised but at the same time he was glad that his family hid out, otherwise how would he be ridiculed?

But seeing that Fang Shi was in a good mood, Yan's father, Gu Shi, didn't say much, instead he said some auspicious words according to her mood, Fang Shi stunned to eat half a bowl more for dinner that day.

About going to the Wu family to boil silkworms, the Gu family did not say anything, and did not let the children talk about it, but the only Liu family who knew the news, Liu mother brought Liu Bingbing and two hens to thank him the next day, Gu did this It's completely pulling their home.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. The fact that the Gu family brought their children and Liu Bingbing into the Wu family to boil silkworms quickly spread in several nearby villages, especially knowing that the Gu family played a dominant role in this silkworm cooking. Some people can't help being bitter when they speak.

When Yan Qinghua found out, she kicked the table a few times angrily, "I knew that stinky girl Gu Qingya had a lot of eyes, and she played sloppy with me, then turned around and brought that little bastard Liu Bingbing into Wu's house, hum, but don't be complacent, Without you guys, I wouldn't be able to get in."

"Daughter, that mother and daughter are very scheming, you have to be careful, don't get hacked." Qinghua Niang confessed that she had always disliked Gu Shi, and she was not missing in the previous gossip. credit.

"That's natural." Yan Qinghua raised her chin. The reason why she was so angry still had something to do with it. I heard from the people who worked in Wu's house that the young master of the Wu family and that young master Jiang both had good eyes for Gu Qingya. She was not convinced, how could Gu Qingya's beauty compare to her own?
A person like Gu Qingya can play tricks to get the favor of the two young masters, she is not stupid, and she is not lacking in beauty, so she can't do it, she was a mulberry picker last year and didn't have the chance to meet the two young masters, that's all. Not so this year.

The Wu family is naturally aware of the gossip, and they have issued orders to all the servants under their command, forbidding to violate Gu's demands in public, and to avoid spreading rumors, but the effect is not very good, and there is no other entertainment, how can they stop Can you stand in the footsteps of gossip?
Although the Gu family said that they brought a pair of children into the Wu family, in fact, Yan Qinghe studied with the two young masters, so it was the three of them who really did things.Seeing that the ice jade silkworm was about to hatch, Gu Shi didn't have any other thoughts to pay attention to the outside affairs at all, but asked people to make various preparations.

Of course, Uncle Niu didn't allow such things to affect the Gu family, so he specially sent a few stewards over to suppress those women who were about to make a move, in case anyone would do something self-righteous.

With the help of the steward, Gu's request was easily fulfilled, but when it came time for the silkworms to emerge, the weather suddenly turned overcast, and the darkness made people uncomfortable.

In the silkworm room, Gu was busy running around, the weather suddenly changed, the temperature dropped, and he hurriedly asked people to set fire to a charcoal basin to raise the indoor temperature to a certain temperature.

But because of such a heavy rain situation, he had to get a lot of things that were not needed at first. It's a big deal.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Gu finally stabilized the situation. As long as tonight is over, most of the seed cloths will be able to produce silkworms smoothly tomorrow.

Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing didn't understand, so they could only stand aside, not daring to make a sound, but focused on listening to Gu's actions and paying attention to the silkworm seeds on the planting cloth, so as to infer Gu's purpose , Of course, the two people with little experience can't think of a reason.

Gushi didn't sleep all night, it rained heavily in the middle of the night, and the temperature dropped a lot, but fortunately, there was help so he didn't panic.The next day was sunny. If the humidity on the ground hadn't dissipated, who would have known that it had rained yesterday?

When the sun comes out, silkworms begin to hatch. At this time, Gu Shi sifts the leaves that have been roasted and ground long ago onto the seed cloth with sackcloth.

This kind of leaf powder is the flowers and leaves of a wild rose. It tastes good after frying, and it is very fragrant to silkworms. Gushi made this with mint.

The purpose of sifting in the end of the leaves is to make the silkworm eggs come out more neatly, which is also called silk flower. Sure enough, after about an hour, most of the silkworm eggs have hatched, and the rest is no different from other silkworms.

Dry the metal round lacquer plate, spread a layer of mixed straw ash, and then spread white paper, and then use goose feathers to sweep the newly emerged young silkworms onto the paper and spread them out, commonly known as Tanwu.

At this time, another person sprinkles the finely chopped young mulberry leaves on the paper, and the young silkworms can eat, and when the young silkworms start to eat the mulberry leaves, they cannot be hungry anymore, otherwise the silk intestines will be damaged, which also means boiled. Silkworm officially started.
