Chapter 0164 Silkworms go up the mountain(1/2)

Ye Qing is extremely concerned about crops grown by tribes.

This is the first time most people of the tribe have cultivated on such a large scale.

Even if each neighbor is long and the management team is flexible, they still don’t understand planting crops.

If we only rely on Ye Qing's verbal teaching, we cannot complete such a large-scale planting work.

During this period, he was active in the fields and taught his tribe members how to plant them step by step.

Now is not the time to be distracted. Only by teaching the tribe members how to plant them can he be divided into different backgrounds and work on other things.

Fortunately, under his detailed guidance, everything went smoothly in the planting work.

With a happy mood, he came to a brick house in the new village.

Here, several tribesmen are busy.

There are many baskets in front of the door of the house, and the baskets contain picked mulberry leaves.

This brick and tile house is a silkworm house.

The one who manages this silkworm room is the Silkworm.

The Canfeng family is a tribe specializing in raising silkworms.

With ready-made silkworm seeds and skilled silkworm breeders, Ye Qing will naturally not forget to develop the silkworm breeding industry.

However, after seeing the process of Silkworm Feng raising silkworms, Ye Qing shook his head a little.

The silkworm breeding technique of the Canfeng tribe is too rough.

Large batches of silkworm leaf greens have never been raised.

But when he was a child, he raised dozens of silkworms and had fun.

Even though he has not raised silkworms in large quantities, in modern times when information explosion, he can roughly know some basic techniques for raising silkworms through his understanding of the scales and claws.

First of all, cleanliness and hygiene is definitely needed.

When raising silkworms, the remains of silkworm sand and mulberry leaves must be replaced frequently.

This garbage will accumulate for a long time and will become moldy and deteriorate. This is the culprit that causes the silkworm to get sick.

And Canfeng did not do this most basic work well enough.

When Ye Qing asked the silkworm why these silkworm sands were not cleaned up, the silkworm witch said helplessly:

“It’s too labor-intensive.”

"In the past, few silkworms were raised, and they could rely on the clan members to catch them one by one."

"I can't catch it now."

Can I catch the silkworms by hand?

Ye Qing was speechless.

How can I catch this?

When mulberry trees sprout in spring, the silkworm seeds kept by Silkworm Feng hatched one after another.

Ye Qing looked at the density of silkworm eggs they kept on several cloths, and estimated that there were tens of thousands of them.

In previous years, there were so many silkworms, but Silkworm Feng would not raise them all.

Can't keep it.

This requires too many mulberry leaves, which cost hundreds of kilograms a day.

This is not available only by relying on mulberry trees planted around the Canfeng tribe.

Wang Mangguo is located in a plain swamp, with few trees and even fewer mulberry trees.

There is no way to supply enough mulberry leaves, so naturally there is no way to feed these tens of thousands of silkworms.

Now that we are moving to the Bangfeng tribe, it is naturally different.

Ye Qing asked them to breed all the silkworms.

He doesn't think there are many of these silkworms, he just thinks there are fewer ones.

In modern times, there are only one or two silkworm seeds.

As for the lack of mulberry leaves, it is not a problem at all in the Fangfeng tribe.

There are many mulberry trees in the Fangfeng tribe.

Even though there are not many mulberry trees on the sandbank, there are still mountains in the west of the mountains in the west of the mountains. There are naturally many mulberry trees in this continuous forest.

The ready-made one is a large mulberry forest at the foot of the mountain leading to the back mountain.

Therefore, mulberry leaves are completely sufficient.

So many silkworms were raised at once, and the Canfeng clan members who raised silkworms were blinded.

There are hundreds of kilograms of mulberry leaves every day, and there are special people to pick them. Fortunately, there is no problem.

There was a problem when cleaning the silkworm sand.

These silkworms are climbing on the silkworm sand and the remaining leaf stems, and they are very tightly clinging. They must be caught one by one with their hands to get it down.

With so many silkworms, they need more time to catch them by hand.

Afterwards, Ye Qing asked the tribe to make several webs.

The net is not big, just a little larger than a silkworm plaque, the mesh is also very small, the thickness of a small finger.

Spread the net on the silkworm plaque that needs to be cleaned up the silkworm sand, and then sprinkle a layer of mulberry leaves on the net. After a while, attracted by the fresh mulberry leaves, the silkworm climbs through the mesh from the bottom of the net and climbs onto the mulberry leaves on the top of the net.

Then pick up the net, pour the mulberry leaves and silkworms covered by the net into an empty silkworm plaque, and the work of replacing the silkworm plaque is considered to be completed.

There were basically no silkworms in the original silkworm plaque.

Even if there is, it is still thin and unhealthy. Such silkworms can be ignored and eliminated.

Seeing Ye Qing changing the silkworm plaque so simply, the people of the Canfeng clan were very excited, and they were also admired.

Ye Qing was already very calm about his praise for his tribe members.

At first, he felt a little embarrassed and blushed when he heard the praises of his tribe. After all, the inventions and innovations he made were just the wisdom of his predecessors, and he could only be regarded as a porter.

But now I have heard too much and my face is thick enough.

Excuse me?

blush?

It doesn't exist!

This is prehistoric, and before his predecessors, who can say that he plagiarized?

When I walked into the silkworm room, there were dozens of shelves that were one person tall.

Each shelf is divided into three layers, and each layer contains a silkworm plaque.

There are more than 100 silkworm plaques in the entire silkworm room.

Ye Qing looked at the silkworm plaques one by one and nodded with satisfaction.

Silkworms are very big, many of them have become transparent.

Ye Qing said to the Canfeng Witch:

"These silkworms are about to form cocoons."

"I asked the wooden workshop to make a batch of silkworm clusters. Now it should be almost done. You can ask someone to take it over."

"What is a silkworm cluster?" The silkworm was very curious.

"You'll know if you take it."

Not long after, the silkworm cluster was brought over.

Looking at the things he brought over, the Canfeng Witch became even more curious. He really didn't understand what these things had to do with raising silkworms.

He held a cluster of silkworms in his hand, thinking while watching.

This is a rectangular wooden frame. In the middle of the wooden frame, thin bamboo slices are divided into many small grids.

He can't count how many grids there are.

The grid is very small, just slightly larger than the cocoon.

Ye Qing didn't wait for him to guess and explained to him:

"This is for cocoons for silkworms!"

The Canfeng Witch became even more confused.

Will the silkworms form cocoons on these small bare lattices?

When Silkworm Feng raises silkworms, when silkworms form cocoons, they use straw to tie them into bundles and use them for silkworms to form cocoons.

The function of straw bundles is to simulate the environment required for silkworms to form cocoons, and it is also convenient to collect silkworm cocoons.
