Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 103 Homecoming
Liu Bingbing had just touched the skeined silk with a hand, and a hand stretched out from the side took it away. The two looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Wu, and they were a little nervous.

"Inferior silkworm cocoons, the silk produced is also at a medium level. That's right. Go on, I'm optimistic about you." Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, Gu Qingya really inherited Gu's craftsmanship.

She asked people to bring up the inferior silkworm cocoons first. It would be too wasteful to use the cocoons well if you are not yet proficient.After walking around, Mrs. Wu was generally satisfied, there was basically no waste, most of them were of middle grade, but Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing surprised her.

Because of the need to keep it secret, there are a lot fewer people reeling silk, and the manpower is very scarce. Even if the two little girls are not as fast as the adults, it is good to accumulate more.

"Thank you Madam for your compliment, we will continue to work hard." Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing were very happy, and they went to get another basket of second-class cocoons, this time it was Liu Bingbing's turn to make silk.

Compared to Gu Qingya, Liu Bingbing is a little more unfamiliar, and needs to mention a few words from time to time, and after she finds the feeling, her movements are very smooth, and her speed has also improved a lot.

Liu Bingbing compared the silk he made with Gu Qingya's, and it was a little worse. Although it was still in the middle ranks, it showed that his own production was not enough, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

After all, they are carefully bred, and there are not many second-class silkworm cocoons. Others have found the texture with second-class silkworms, and are already busy using first-class cocoons. continue.

Gu Shi has been busy for a long time, after making sure that everyone knows what temperature should be controlled, it is already after lunch, and everyone has no rest, even if the weather is hot, they can't slow down the movements in their hands. If they slow down, they may be cocoons It turned into a moth.

She took a special look at the situation of Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing, and she was very satisfied. After all, the two little girls only learned how to cook for a while last year, and this is the first time they did it this year. Can be regarded as a genius.

The silkworm cocoons made by Gushi are selected separately, and they are the best silkworm cocoons. The silk they make is naturally the best and the most expensive.

The weather is too hot, even if there is a shed above the head to shade the sun, but sitting in front of the pot, the temperature is not easy, everyone is sweating like rain, drinking water like a cow, fortunately, the Wu family is not stingy, all kinds of summer heat Herbal soup, mung bean soup, and regular snacks are all in sufficient supply.

Because they work hard and get more money, many people only sleep for two or three hours, get up early and go to bed late, and the silk carts hardly stop.

But Gu Shi did not allow Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing to do this, saying that they were still young and were not good for girls.

After working day and night for several days, I finally made all the ice jade silk. At this time, the silk maker was in charge of Wu's house, registered the number of skeins and their quality, and went back to sleep. It's dark.

However, Gu Shi only slept for a while, and did not rest much. Instead, he went to see the silkworm cocoons that were left on purpose. Calculating the time, it was almost time to turn into a moth. Save it for next year's silkworm season.

However, the small batch of silkworms picked out from Yinqing did not grow well, and many died halfway through. Even the cocoons formed were not pure white, but were stained with yellow or brown, and even the entire cocoon was yellow-green. , it doesn't look very good.

However, there are still about twenty silkworm cocoons that are big and white, and they look very good, and there may be mutated silkworms among them, so Gu Shi also paid attention to them.

Because the cloth is also very particular, it is impossible for Gu Shi to be busy alone. Fortunately, there are other experienced people to help, so it is much easier.Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing almost watched from the beginning to the end, there are still many things to pay attention to, and it is impossible for them to participate in it for the time being.

After the cloth is finished, other people will do it themselves, and the finished silk is also twisted, and then it will be wound on the silk tube, so that it can be processed into warp and weft later, so Gu Shi doesn't need to worry about these.

After being busy for about a month, the Gu family got a good salary from Mrs. Wu, and there was another twelve taels of rewards for the cold silk reeling method, while Gu Qingya and Liu Bingbing also received nearly two taels each. The remuneration is already a very high salary for them.

Gu Shi was still very happy in his heart, pinching the red seal in his hand, thinking that all the hard work during this period was worth it, some things in the house just happened to be added, and maybe a little more jewelry could be added.

After tidying up and saluting, Gu Shi was about to leave with the two girls, when she ran into the woman in the same room, her eyes swept over Gu Shi and Gu Qingya, and she didn't know what she was thinking, "Hey, Miss Gu , don’t rush to leave, let’s chat.”

This woman is a long-term worker of the Wu family, but she did not participate in silk reeling, so it can be seen that she is not trusted by the master, and she has lived for such a long time, and the Gu family knows her temperament, so she doesn't want to say anything more.

"Sister-in-law Lin, I haven't been back for a long time. I'm in a hurry. Why don't we talk next time we meet?" Stop it.

The woman's complexion froze, and she wanted to ask why there were so many restrictions on silk reeling this year. Many people were asking, but they didn't know what was going on. Originally, they thought that Gu's was a good breakthrough, but it seems Also a scheming one.

"Okay, let's talk about it next time."

It was already evening, the weather was very sultry, and the number of flowers and plants on both sides were wilting, looking very listless. The three of the Gu family walked all the way to Tailai Village, and saw a lot of people crying to death along the way. flowers and plants.

From Qingming to the present, there has been almost no rain. Unlike previous years, the fields are very dry, especially those who grow rice. The waterwheel carries water.

But the river level has also dropped a lot, exposing rocks of different sizes on the bank. After all, the weather is too hot, the water will dry up, and the water in the ground will increase, so it will not be easy.

The Gu family was a little concerned about the situation at home, so they greeted people they met along the way, and did not stop for small talk, which disappointed some people who wanted to know about the situation of Wu's silkworm cooking.

After all, the Wu family is everyone, and everyone pays attention to it. Everyone knows how much silk is produced every year, but what I heard this year is that there are a large number of new varieties of silkworms, and the silk production is still kept secret. Knowing the details, see if the Wu family can let go of this breed for the benefit of everyone.

Back home, Yan's father was picking red amaranth and water spinach in the vegetable field in front of the house. He was very happy to see his wife and daughter coming back, "Go and wash, I'll make two more vegetables."
