Chapter 14 New Occupation——【Warrior】

"Gulp~"

"Gulp~"

Zhou Qing stood in front of the stove, looking at the boiling water in the pot, picked up the wooden box, carefully picked out a dozen silk cocoons from it and poured them into the boiling water.

Then he held a thin wooden stick and stirred the pot in a clockwise direction.

As Zhou Qing continued to stir, after more than a quarter of an hour, the silk threads in some of the cocoons finally separated.

At this time, the Qingsi Gu next to the stove spit out a thin thread and directly hooked the thread of the cocoon.

With a pull, the thread was picked out of the boiling water and then wrapped around the thin wooden stick inserted in the gap between the walls.

"Well done, Erqing! When I make money, I will definitely benefit from you."

Zhou Qing showed a happy face.

"Puff~" Qingsi Gu said, watch its performance.

"Yeah!" Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.

As the saying goes, when people and Gu are matched, work is not tiring.

With the help of Qingsi Gu, Zhou Qing's workload was greatly reduced.

You should know that according to the normal silk reeling process, you first need to collect the cocoons and soak them in warm water to soften their shells.

Then you need to carefully take out the softened cocoons to avoid damaging the silk threads.

Then tie the taken cocoons to a thin wooden stick to fix their position.

Then boil and stir them in boiling water. When the cocoons are completely cracked and the thread ends are exposed, they are wrapped with bamboo strips or thin wooden sticks.

After all the silk is wrapped, it is necessary to boil it in boiling water again to remove the remaining cocoons and other impurities on the silk threads and make the silk threads purer.

Then take out the boiled silk threads and squeeze them gently to remove excess water.

Finally, place them in a well-ventilated place to dry and wait for use.

In other words, under normal circumstances, reeling silk requires at least seven to nine steps.

Because of the existence of Qingsi Gu, Zhou Qing can skip the first three steps and directly boil the cocoons in boiling water.

The Qingsi Gu will start to reel silk when the silk just shows the thread end, and the efficiency is extremely high, more than a normal person.

So there will be no situation where the silk is mixed and tangled together.

The silk thread of a single cocoon is normally between 300 and 500 feet long, which means that the shorter silk thread is 900 meters long.

Imagine that it takes several minutes to run a thousand meters in the previous life, so how long will it take to wind a 900-meter long silk thread.

According to Zhou Qing's estimate, if he reels silk by himself from nearly 10,000 cocoons raised in this half of the silkworm, even if he does not sleep or rest, it will take ten days and half a month to complete.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Qing does not know how to use a silk reeling machine, otherwise, it should be completed in four or five days.

However, with the help of the Qingsi Gu, it was completed in three days, which is faster than the silk reeling machine.

"Thanks to you."

It was noon, and the reeling was over. Zhou Qing stretched out his fingers and rubbed the plump body of the Qingsi Gu.

"Puff~!" Qingsi Gu was very proud.

[Profession: Silkworm Breeder]

[Skill: Silkworm Breeding and Mulberry Picking]

[Progress: Skilled (265/800)]

[Effect: Dexterous, good at spinning silk and cocooning. ]

After two days of reeling silk, Zhou Qing gained more than 100 experience points in total.

According to this progress, it is estimated that by September, the progress will enter the next stage.

I don't know what new effects will be achieved by then.

"I still have to raise silkworms well. This is my skill for making a living."

Zhou Qing sighed in his heart. With Qingsi Gu, the quality of silk is guaranteed, and the income can be stabilized in a higher range.

"I don't know what changes the new profession obtained by practicing martial arts can bring to me."

Zhou Qing carefully put away the silk-winding stick stuck on the wall, preparing to give it to Wei Hongyu tomorrow, and officially began to practice martial arts and lay the foundation.

Now with the skin of Baiyun Martial Arts Hall, the income from selling poisonous insects has increased greatly. Going to the mountain to catch a few black spiders every day, the income exceeds 20 coins, and it is easy to earn 6 coins of silver a month.

Of course, practicing martial arts consumes a lot of silver, and this amount of silver is far from enough.

Above the halfway point of Black Wind Mountain, there is miasma everywhere.

When he went up the mountain to pick mulberry leaves early yesterday morning, Qingsi Gu reminded him that with his current physique, he could only stay in the miasma for half an hour relying on toxin resistance.

If he waits until he enters the skin refining realm, his physique will be enhanced, and his resistance to miasma will be greatly enhanced.

That will be the time for him to enter the miasma range and explore the unknown treasure house.

"Let's take it slowly." Zhou Qing pondered in his heart.

Now that Zhang Dahai is dead, no one will affect his silkworm breeding. Starting from next month, the second batch of silk can earn three taels of silver from Wei Hongyu, and then he can eat meat every day.

"I wonder what will happen to Zhang Jian and Zhang Cheng?"

The only thing Zhou Qing is worried about now is Zhang Dahai's two brothers.

"I hope they don't provoke me."

Zhou Qing asked himself that he was not a murderer, he just wanted to be a good person.

But if someone insists on making trouble, then the Green Silk Gu can only eat more.

"Puff~"

At this time, the Green Silk Gu said that it was hungry after working for a whole morning.

"Okay, I'll take you to find food now."

Zhou Qing nodded, feeling that the Green Silk Gu had become hungrier since it devoured Zhang Dahai's flesh and blood.

[Progress: Growth Stage (746/800)]

"I don't know what surprises you will bring me when you enter the next stage."

Looking at the growth progress of the Green Silk Gu behind the [Gu Master] profession, Zhou Qing was full of expectations.

In the evening, Zhou Qing went down the mountain carrying a basket of mulberry leaves.

As expected, he was not hungry, had meat to eat, and was not so tired from working.

"Is grandma not here again?"

When passing by the stream, Zhou Qing glanced at the women who were washing clothes, and there was no grandma among them.

Since the day before yesterday, grandma has not washed clothes by the river.

Zhou Qing asked other women and found out that grandma had finished her work and had returned to the nearby village to find other work.

The next morning, Zhou Qing got up early and went to Baiyun Martial Arts Hall in Shiqiao Lane in the north of the town, and delivered the processed silk to Wei Hongyu.

"Your craftsmanship is really good." Wei Hongyu was very satisfied.

"These are a little gift for the senior sister." Zhou Qing smiled and handed over another basket.

He brought the silkworm pupae cooked yesterday and gave them to Wei Hongyu.

After being fried in oil, the silkworm pupae tasted good and were very nutritious.

Although Zhou Qing also needed to replenish his body, he couldn't afford so much oil, so he just gave it to Wei Hongyu as a favor.

"Then I won't be polite." Wei Hongyu had obviously eaten fried silkworm pupae.

"Here you go."

Wei Hongyu took the basket and took out a small piece of silver from her waist, about one penny.

"These silkworm pupae are worthless." Zhou Qing waved his hands repeatedly.

"This is not the money for the silkworm pupae. Your silk reeling skills are very good. I am very confident about the quality of the silk in the future."

Wei Hongyu was serious.

"I don't like others to take advantage of me, but I don't like to take advantage of others either."

"Thank you very much." Seeing Wei Hongyu so serious, Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and accepted the silver.

One hundred coins, for him, is a huge sum of money.

"Yeah." Wei Hongyu nodded.

"Since you are here, it's just right to follow and lay the foundation. Your qi and blood are damaged, so it's not suitable for grinding the skin and strengthening the body, but it's still okay to learn the footwork and standing exercises first."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Zhou Qing was in high spirits.

Seeing this, several apprentices who were practicing the Zhuang Gong nearby also gathered around.

Although the other brothers taught very well, the eldest sister was the only female martial artist in the martial arts hall. She had a good personality and looked very attractive. Who wouldn't like such a person?

Regarding the apprentices' behavior of focusing on women over brothers, the brothers didn't say anything and were happy to be free.

"The Baiyun Palm Method in our martial arts hall focuses on refining poison, so you only need to master 21 Zhuang Gong styles. Compared with most martial arts halls that have more than 30 Zhuang Gong styles, it is easier to break through the skin refining realm."

Wei Hongyu explained while teaching the Baiyun Zhuang Gong.

Her movements were very slow, and the apprentices watched very seriously.

Zhou Qing watched and followed, and it took him half an hour to finally learn the first Zhuang Gong style.

At the same time, the jade scepter in Zhou Qing's soul emitted a faint blue light, and a line of text appeared in front of him.

[You have mastered a new skill - Baiyun Zhuang. ]

[You have awakened a new profession - warrior. ]
