A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 217
After listening to Li Xi's words, Mrs. Zhang thought about it, and went back that night to talk about it. The whole family attached great importance to this sericulture. If the land is freed up to plant mulberry trees, it will be fine even if she does not rely on her natal family in the future. The disadvantage is that the noise will become louder, and everyone will know about it, but this is a profitable business. The beating of mulberry leaves back home has already attracted the attention of others, and the village head can see it, but the second aunt said a few words.

Since Xiao Zhang took over half of the greenhouses, he was always busy until midnight, because there were other farm work during the day, and every time he went to the neighboring village to pick mulberry leaves, he could not have too much at one time, so he had to go to the next day to re- Picking, after all, is the leaves, and it can't stand to be put, and it will dry up within two days. Silkworms don't eat these unnutritious ones.

"Silkworm rearing is really good. Rich people wear silk and satin. I heard that the price of silk is very high somewhere in the south." Uncle Li is here to help. Of course these silkworms saw it and smashed it immediately. Mouth: "It's just a pity. In the past two days, everyone raised them randomly and failed to raise them well. I don't know if this will work."

"Be careful and it will get better." Li Xi is not sure. After all, this animal still has medicine when it is sick. I don't know what to eat when it is sick. In modern times, there are medicines for silkworms, but here is not necessarily the case. , so this is also the reason why people can't raise silkworms well, but the site is bigger, the ventilation is dry, and it can be done if you are careful.

"That's right, but it's also good to raise chickens and ducks." Uncle Li said with a smile.

It's autumn, and the weather is getting colder. Zhao Mu has been away for about ten days, and there has been no letter. Li Xi doesn't say anything, and she is very anxious, but she only knows that she is in Qingyun City, but she is a woman. It is inconvenient to do so, not to mention worrying about the family. Fortunately, Zhao Mu said before leaving that the return date was uncertain, otherwise she would really have to find someone.

Things at home basically don't bother her, the chickens and ducks are still easy to raise, there is no sickness at all in the spiritual spring water, they are alive and kicking, as long as they don't run out, the grass on the two acres of land has been mowed, Fortunately, this thing can grow one after another. When it gets old, dig the roots and plant a batch of seeds, which is very easy to take care of.

Because Zhao Mu hasn't been back for a long time, Li Xi still needs to look at the things in the field more. The wheat has germinated, and the rapeseed has grown steadily. Pan vines, the leaves grow well, and the ones below are not too bad. It looks like a bumper harvest.

"Sister-in-law, the dress you made is so beautiful." Xiang Cui looked at Li Xi's new dress and said enviously.

Who doesn't love beauty? Before, there was no condition, but now basically, Li Xi will not treat herself badly. The money is not for saving, but for spending. Last time I gave it to her in the cloth shop. I bought some cloth with Zhao Mu, and started making clothes these days when I had nothing to do. She was patient, and her craftsmanship was not very good, so I just took my time. What I made for Zhao Mu was okay, but men's clothes were not as good. The meticulousness of a woman, but when it's my turn, Li Xi wants to change the pattern, so I added some patterns to the skirt, which is a bit like a skirt, but this is a simple way to make it in the farmhouse so as not to attract attention. It's a bit bulky, but the clothes look good, the emerald green color, and the wrinkled hem of the skirt are also very good-looking.

"Do you like it? Why don't I teach you how to do it, and go back and change your own clothes." Li Xi is actually not very interested in making clothes. If he doesn't do it himself, no one will help him. Really If someone helps, it must cost money. She won't do it by herself. What she likes more is embroidery. That's called leisure.
