Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

The next day, Zhou Qing got up early and filled the stove hole with firewood.

Yesterday I ate steamed buns and steamed buns and went to bed very early. I still had some wild vegetable bran porridge left to finish, so I just warmed it up for breakfast.

He put four long wooden strips in the cauldron, forming a "well" shape, and put the meat buns left yesterday on top.

After eating the bitter wild vegetable bran porridge, Zhou Qing wrapped the meat buns in cloth and put them close to his body.

Following the same process as yesterday, I took the basket against the wall and put the sickle, pickaxe, sack, and two wine jars in it.

The silkworms at home have begun to spin silk, so he can feel much more relaxed these days.

Next, you only need to wait for the cocoon to take shape before you can start spinning.

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

It's a pity that Zhou Qing can't go to a higher place.

I heard that these victims followed the people of the Wushen Cult into the mountains and never came back.

Zhou Qing walked down the mountain in the sunset, his face a little sad.

"Okay!" Zhou Qing immediately brought the black noodle bun to his mouth and took a big bite.

The black-faced steamed buns are made from sorghum flour and are dry and hard to swallow.

"Grandma, this..." Zhou Qing was stunned.

Travel expenses must be prepared in advance.

After the silkworms at home finish spinning their silk, if he wants to sell it at a good price, he has to go to the county seat.

This witch god sect took the opportunity to gather a large number of victims, and it must have done no good.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Qing, who was a little thin, and said seriously:

"Ah Qing, after you sell the silk this time, let's come to Zhuifeng Boxing Gym to practice boxing together. From now on, it will be up to the two of us to protect Xin'an Lane!"

Although a lot of poisonous insects were found, they were all small gadgets, and they all got into the Green Silk Gu's belly.

"Thank you grandma."

"I'm old and can no longer taste meat." Grandma shook her head and stuffed the steamed bun into his arms.

"I saw the senior fellow from the martial arts school! Let's go first." Liang Chao ran to the right.

The sun sets in the west.

"Just wait a day or two and it should be almost done."

"Coming, coming!" The crowd suddenly dispersed from the middle and quickly made a way.

When grandma saw Zhou Qing, she put down the mallet in her hand and handed over a steamed bun.

With his current strength, if he encounters a large and fast poisonous insect, the green silk Gu is not afraid of poison, so he cannot withstand it.

Among the sericulture farmers in town, every family works together as a family and has a clear division of labor, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort.

The drug store owner must have lowered the price, but there was nothing he could do about it. No matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat.

If you take the cocoons and sell them directly, the price will be much less.

"Alas" Liang Chao sighed and said nothing more. If Dad hadn't risked his life to catch the treasure fish and sold it for ten taels of silver, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn boxing and change his destiny.

At this time, the green silk Gu entered his abdomen, and soon the strange feeling disappeared.

"Even the Yamen don't dare to take care of it."

The onlookers started looting again, making noises and crying one after another.

I saw four strong men carrying a white-robed Taoist with white hair and a boyish face, walking among the crowd, followed by a group of ragged civilians. These people were unkempt, but their eyes were scary. They all had fanatical looks on their faces, and they were talking in their mouths. Constantly chanting in unison.

But when thinking of Zhou Xian, Zhou Qing still felt that it was better to be alone.

Although Zhou Qing didn't want to pay attention to him, he still responded.

"Ah! My hand!"

"Mine! Mine!"

I already ate meat yesterday. Let’s have a good meal next time when we have money.

"Don't squeeze me!"

Even though it’s just broken copper coins broken in half, you can still spend them and buy food!

The people gathered nearby immediately started looting, but no one dared to rush into the middle team.

He does want to learn boxing, but there is no need to tell him before things are done, which will only increase variables.

Grandma paused, took the meat bun, then took out another steamed bun and stuffed the two steamed buns to Zhou Qing.

"Let's go." Zhou Qing nodded and walked towards the market.

"The silk this time seems to be surprisingly good!"

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and took the wowotou. Now is the time for his body to grow, but it's a pity that he hasn't had a full meal in the two months since he came to this world.

"The Immortal Lord of great love will be reborn in bliss, and the witch god will live forever."

"If grandma doesn't eat it, I'll be embarrassed to ask for steamed buns again." Zhou Qing insisted.

When the two came to the central square at the intersection of the market, they found that the square was already crowded with people.

Liang Chao pulled Zhou Qing aside and lowered his voice.

"Pfft." Green Silk Gu responded.

Normally at this time, there are not so many people.

But if the silk is of high quality, it can be sold at a high price based on its quality.

"Take it, wait until the silkworms start to spin silk and form cocoons. Reeling silk will be more tiring than carrying mulberry leaves." Grandma said with a kind look on her face.

Zhou Qing looked intently and saw a small official in soap uniforms and two officers with swords hiding at the entrance of the alley.

This was specially left by Qingsi Gu.

"Grandma, no, I've eaten." Zhou Qing refused quickly, took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out a still hot meat bun and handed it to Grandma.

It was Liang Chao who got up early. He was wearing a cyan training jacket and black trousers, looking energetic.

It’s just that if you sell in the town, you will definitely get the lowest price, but if you go to the county to sell, it is dozens of miles away. It is dangerous to go there, and it is dangerous to go back.

Zhou Qing subconsciously reached out and caught it.

It was obvious that Qingsi Gu was not satisfied with eating it today.

"Aqing, it's best not to take what the Witch God taught you."

"If Ayu is still alive, he should be this old." Grandma looked at Zhou Qing's back and recalled the past.

The most frightening thing is that the leader of the village is not that he is in a hurry and has no food, but that he just wants this one bite.

The process of silkworm spinning takes about two or three days, and today is already the second day.

"After finally getting into the martial arts gym, of course I have to be more diligent. I can't waste my father's hard-earned money."

Seeing Zhou Qing pick up two coins and leave decisively, the shopkeeper added a rare sentence.

People nearby who were about to rob him suddenly stopped when they saw Liang Chao wearing a training jacket standing next to Zhou Qing.

Afterwards, a part of the cocoon is left, and when the silkworm chrysalis inside breaks out into a silkworm moth, the mulberry leaves need to be picked only after mating and leaving silkworm seeds.

"good."

At that time, silk reeling will be a troublesome thing again.

"We're running out of lime powder too."

Zhou Qing walked out of the town and passed by the stream. His grandmother was already beating her clothes.

Zhou Qing felt that the quality of the silk this time was very high just from the appearance.

At Dafeng Pharmacy, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the poisonous spider, but the price he gave was still one penny.

"Look!" As he said this, Liang Chao pointed to the entrance of the alley opposite.

"Grandma, these are the meat buns I bought yesterday. I left one for you."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing and Liang Chao prepared to go around from behind the crowd.

After eating the black noodle buns, Zhou Qing felt a strange feeling in his stomach.

Liang Chao followed quickly.

Zhou Qing carried a basket on his back and went up the mountain. After solving the most critical survival problem, he would repay those who helped him.

Sure enough, it is best to look for poisonous insects after rain.

Suddenly, a black-faced steamed bun was thrown to the back of the crowd with great force.

"Aqing, wait for me!"

The senior brothers in the martial arts school have all said that it is best not to have anything to do with the Wushen Cult. "

Zhou Qing stopped and waited for him. "Chaozi, why did you get up so early?"

Green Silk Gu has confirmed that poisonous spiders are a bit more poisonous than centipedes, but the power is limited.

"Poisonous?" Zhou Qing was stunned, walked to the corner, and was about to throw away the black-faced bun in his hand.

"It's up to you."

At the same time, Qingsi Gu said that this little poison was too little and not satisfying at all.

Among his two jars, one contained an unknown poisonous spider the size of a fist, and the other contained a centipede about one foot long.

Immediately after the few copper coins were scattered, more boys and girls came out of the team, took out wowotou and black-faced buns from the basket and threw them out.

"Is there a problem?" Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

The boys and girls opened the white cloth, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them out.

Liang Chao gnawed on the pancake and muttered, his expression was firm and his eyes were full of hope.

Zhou Qing is full of hope.

High-quality silk is used to make fine silk, and only wealthy families can afford it.

"How dare I have such an idea even if I don't have enough to eat." Zhou Qing waved his hands repeatedly.

"Puff~" Green Silk Gu said again that there was no need to be afraid, as long as it was there, this little bit of poison would be nothing.

"I know." Zhou Qing nodded.

I heard that there is Huanglong Mountain near Jiuhua Town next door. There is a Jindao Village on the mountain. The owner of the village likes to eat vegetables.

Today's harvest is much worse than yesterday.

Over and over again, I made money.

The effect of qi and blood combing is much worse.

Zhou Qing took out lime powder from the adobe house and sprinkled it on the silkworm room to disinfect and dehumidify.

A short-haired boy ran out of the adobe room, holding a piece of pancake in his hand.

Coupled with the qi and blood sorting effect of the green silk Gu, a two-pronged approach can restore his qi and blood as quickly as possible to prevent it from affecting his martial arts training.

"One mountain centipede and one poisonous spider, two cents."

As the saying goes, things are accomplished through secrets and failure is revealed through words.

"Brother, walk slowly. If you catch a poisonous spider bigger than this next time, I'll give you two cents!"

It should fetch a lot of money.

Originally, more than 10,000 silkworms were lost. The number was insufficient and the income should have dropped sharply.

Don't people who suffer hardships suffer from hardships?

Just kidding, those who are killed are poor people.

This time, he went straight home, and when he passed by the bun shop, he lowered his head and refused to look.

After returning home, Zhou Qing opened the silkworm room and looked at the silkworms still spinning silk. His mood finally improved.

But for Zhou Qing, who was not full yet, anything that could satisfy his hunger was delicious.

These days, those who cannot survive are either sold into slavery or become bandits in the mountains.

Zhou Qing looked down at the black-faced bun in his hand.

At this time, two boys and girls dressed in white walked out from the middle of the team, holding a basket covered with white cloth in their hands.

Liang Chao whispered: "I heard that some people disrespected Lord Dragon, which caused several villages in the county near the Heishui River to suffer from floods recently.

Zhou Qing locked the silkworm room, said hello to Mr. Liang who was feeding chickens in the yard next door, and then went out with the basket on his back.

"The Immortal Lord of great love will be reborn in bliss, and the witch god will live forever."

Many victims who could not survive fled to several nearby towns.

You must eat enough, preferably meat, to replenish your energy and blood.

Zhou Qing looked at the bottomed quicklime in the jar and sighed inwardly.

If you don’t become a householder, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
