Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Chapter 14 New Profession——[Warrior]

"Gudu~"

"Gudu~"

Zhou Qing stood in front of the stove, looking at the boiling water in the pot. He picked up the wooden box, carefully picked out a dozen silkworm cocoons 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, more than a quarter of an hour later, the threads in some of the cocoons finally separated.

At this time, the green silk Gu next to the stove spit out a thin thread and directly hooked the thread separated from the cocoon.

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

Imagine how long it took several minutes to run a thousand meters in the physical test in the previous life, and how long it took to wind a 900-meter-long silk thread.

"Yeah." Wei Hongyu nodded.

If he waits until he enters the Skin Refining Realm and his physique becomes stronger, his resistance to miasma will also be greatly enhanced.

[Progress: Proficient (265/800)]

Wei Hongyu was serious.

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

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

"Is grandma not here again?"

Time came to noon, and the silk reeling was finished. Zhou Qing stretched out his fingers and rubbed the green silk Gu's fleshy body.

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

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

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

Then put it into boiling water, boil and stir, wait until the cocoon is completely cracked and the thread ends are exposed, then wrap it with bamboo strips or thin wooden sticks.

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

The green silk Gu will start to spin silk as soon as the thread ends are exposed, and the efficiency is extremely high, more than twice that of normal people.

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

When he was picking mulberries in the mountains yesterday morning, Green Silk Gu reminded him that with his current physique and relying on toxin resistance, he could only stay in the miasma for half a quarter of an hour.

"These are a small gift for Senior Sister." Zhou Qing smiled and presented another basket.

Her movements were very slow, and the apprentices watched her carefully.

"Since you're here, it's time to lay the foundation. Your energy and blood are damaged, so you're not suitable for skin-grinding and body-building, but you can still learn footwork and pile skills first."

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.

"The Baiyun Palm Technique in our martial arts school focuses on refining poison, so you only need to master twenty-one types of pile skills. Compared with most martial arts schools that often have more than thirty types of pile skills, it is easier to break through the skin refining realm."

The removed cocoons are then tied to a thin wooden stick to secure their position.

"I don't know what changes the new career gained from practicing martial arts will bring to me."

The length of a single silk thread from a silkworm cocoon is normally between 300 feet and 500 feet, which means that shorter threads are as long as 900 meters.

When passing by the stream, Zhou Qing glanced at the women washing clothes, but there was no grandmother among them.

Wei Hongyu explained and taught Baiyun Zhuang Kung Fu.

As the saying goes, if you match people's poison, you won't be tired from work.

"Puff~" Qingsi Gu said, watching it perform.

The softened cocoon must then be carefully removed to avoid damaging the silk threads.

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

Zhou Qing watched and followed, and after half an hour, he finally learned the first stance.

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

One hundred pennies was a huge sum of money to him.

Sure enough, I am not hungry anymore, I have meat to eat, and I am not so tired from work.

"this is for you."

Because of the existence of green silk Gu, Zhou Qing can skip the first three steps and directly put the cocoons into boiling water to cook.

But if someone insists on making trouble, they can only try to eat more Green Silk Gu.

Looking at the progress of the growth of Qingsi Gu in the [Gu Master] profession, Zhou Qing was full of expectations.

"Puff~!" Qingsi Gu was very proud.

Although the other senior brothers are also very good at teaching, the eldest sister is the only female martial artist in the martial arts school. She has a good personality and looks very energetic. Who doesn't like such a person.

I don’t know what new effects it will have by then.

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

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

"Puff~"

[Occupation: Silkworm farmer]

After the silkworm chrysalis is fried, it tastes good and is highly nutritious.

Zhou Qing nodded, feeling that the green silk Gu had become hungry faster since it devoured Zhang Dahai's flesh and blood.

After all the silk is wrapped, it is boiled again in boiling water to remove the remaining cocoons and other impurities on the silk to make the silk more pure.

[Technique: Sericulture and mulberry harvesting]

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

Several apprentices who were practicing pile skills nearby saw this and gathered around.

With Green Silk Gu as a good helper, Zhou Qing's workload has been greatly reduced.

Now that he has the skin of Baiyun Martial Arts School, the income from selling poisonous insects has greatly increased. I go to the mountains to catch a few black spiders every day, and my income is more than 20 cents. I can easily make six cents a month.

"Well done, Erqing! When I make money, you will be indispensable."

"I hope they won't provoke me."

"Yeah!" Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.

"I still have to raise silkworms well. This is the skill I need to make a living."

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

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

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

Regarding the apprentices' behavior of focusing on sex over their brothers, the senior brothers didn't say anything and were happy to relax.

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

Zhou Qing looked happy.

With a tug and pull, the thread was pulled out of the boiling water, and then wrapped around the thin wooden stick inserted in the gap in the wall.

Therefore, the silk will not be mixed or twisted together.

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

"Then I'm not welcome." Wei Hongyu had obviously eaten fried silkworm chrysalises.

[Effect: Ingenuity and dexterity, a good hand at stripping away cocoons. 】

At this time, Qingsi Gu said that it was hungry after working all morning.

[Progress: Growth Stage (746/800)]

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

Now that Zhang Dahai is dead, no one can affect his silkworm cultivation. Starting next month, the second crop of silkworms will earn three taels of silver from Wei Hongyu, and then he will be able to eat meat every day.

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

According to Zhou Qing's estimate, there are nearly 10,000 cocoons grown in this half sheet of silkworms. If he reels the silk alone, it will take him ten days and a half to complete it, even if he doesn't sleep.

Then take out the cooked strands and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.

That's when he will enter the miasma range and explore the unknown treasure house.

Zhou Qing carefully put away the silk rod stuck on the wall and prepared to give it to Wei Hongyu tomorrow, officially starting to practice martial arts and lay the foundation.

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

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

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

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

“I don’t like others to take advantage of me, but I also don’t like to take advantage of others.”

"Thank you so much."

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

"Thank you very much." Seeing that Wei Hongyu was so serious, Zhou Qing stopped being polite and accepted the money.

"Thank you, senior sister!" Zhou Qing became energetic.

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