Ye Qing held the silkworm cluster and put it on the shelf where the silkworm plaque was placed. The square silkworm clusters hung vertically over the silkworm plaque.

The distance between the silkworm cluster and the silkworm plaque is very small, enough for mature silkworms to climb up the silkworm cluster.

The size of the shelf and silkworm cluster was designed by Ye Qing from the beginning, so there is naturally no mismatch problem.

Dozens of silkworm clusters were placed on the shelf, and the rest, Ye Qing asked the Canfeng clan members to place them.

"Silks spin silk and make cocoons, and they have a habit of looking for high places to climb up."

"These silkworm clusters are hung on the silkworm plaque. If a silkworm is about to spin silk and form cocoons, it will naturally climb up. The small grids in these silkworm clusters are the most suitable size for silkworm cocoons."

"In this way, there is no need to worry. The silkworm is mature and cannot find a place to form cocoons, spit silk randomly, and waste silk."

The varieties of silkworms today are not very good, and the breeding skills are not good at home. Therefore, the growth of silkworms is not neat, and the order of spinning silk is different.

It is a waste of manpower to let people choose mature silkworms every day.

Moreover, it is also difficult to identify this mature silkworm.

The convenience of this silkworm cluster is here. When hanging there, the silkworm will spin silk and climb up by itself, without worrying about it.

Silkworm clusters can also be removed at any time, and the cocoons that have been tied are picked out, and then put back into place and continue to use.

The time of cocoon formation must be controlled well.

The silkworms only have more than ten days to pupate in their cocoons.

Once the time is not controlled well, the silkworm pupa becomes a silkworm moth, and it will bite the silkworm cocoon and run out, and the silkworm cocoon will be abandoned.

Therefore, the silk reel must be completed after the cocoon is formed and before the silkworm moth hatches out.

A few days later, the Canfeng Witch ran over excitedly to find Ye Qing.

Really cocooned!

Those mature silkworms really climbed up into the silkworm clusters, and then looked for the grid one by one in a regular manner, forming cocoons inside the grid.

"Well, how many cocoons are there now?"

"There are already a basket!"

The witch of Canfeng's family was so excited that her old face looked like a walnut, which turned out to be magically glowing red.

In previous years, they raised silkworms, and the harvest of the season was just a basket of silkworm cocoons.

Less than one-tenth of the silkworms raised now have cocoons.

All the remaining silkworms were cocooned, and then there would be more than a dozen baskets of silkworm cocoons harvested.

A bumper harvest!

A great harvest!

Ye Qing said, "Come with me with your cocoons."

Ye Qing brought the witch of the Canon Feng family and the Silkworm Cocoon to another brick house.

This is the place to reel.

There are about 10 Taiwan wire reeling machines in the room.

Ye Qing adheres to the purpose of saving manpower, and the silk reeling machine still uses foot-pedal type.

Wire reeling machines are also very simple.

The existing foot-pedal spinning machine has been slightly modified, plus a stove and a hot water basin, which makes it an advanced wire reeling machine.

Here, Ye Qing was extravagant.

More than a dozen hot water basins were made of pure copper.

There were several women in the room, and the stove also had a fire, and the water in the hot water basin was steaming.

These women were doing auxiliary work such as dividing scriptures in the weaving workshop for A Zi and the other two.

The hemp accumulated in the tribe has been woven, and the loom is now idle.

When they came, A Zi, A Lian and A Yi and the other two naturally failed and were all there.

Seeing Ye Qing walking in, A Zi immediately asked endlessly:

"What is this? Is it spinning? Why do you still need to boil water? What are you going to cook such a good golden basin?"

"Soft silk!"

"Sao...ses?"

A Zi was very confused.

"It's a slut, not a slut!"

Ye Qing called several women together and peeled a few cocoons to demonstrate to them.

"In this way... peel off all the messy silks on the cocoons... Just like this, the cocoons are so smooth, and the yellow and white must be opened."

Several women started to work as Ye Qing asked.

After a while, dozens of white silkworm cocoons were peeled off.

The peeled miscellaneous wires were not wasted and collected aside.

Ye Qing took these dozens of peeled cocoons and walked to the silk reeling machine, threw the cocoons into the golden-red hot water basin, and then held a tool similar to the comb to continuously press the cocoons floating on the water into the hot water.

A Zi asked curiously:

"Can you eat boiled silkworm pupae? But the cocoons are not torn open!"

The Canfeng Witch reacted one step slower, and after reacting, he was shocked.

He rushed over and reached out to catch the cocoons in the hot water.

Put the silkworm cocoons in water and boil them?

Didn’t the silkworm pupa be cooked to death before it turned into a moth?

How to keep this seed?

He had never seen silk reels.

The Silkworm Feng tribe raises silkworms. After they get cocoons, they put them there waiting for the silkworm moths to come out. Then, they tear them, constantly tear them, tear them into velvet, and then spin them.

There is no silk reel, and I don’t understand it.

Ye Qing grabbed the hand of the Canfeng Witch.

Just kidding, although the water has not opened, it still has a temperature of 70 to 80 degrees. If you put your hand in, you will burn a layer of water blisters.

The witch of the Canfeng clan was grabbed by Ye Qing. While struggling hard, she wanted to catch the silkworm cocoons, she shouted anxiously:

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

He was so anxious that he couldn't express his meaning clearly.

Ye Qing finally understood what he meant:

"If you die, die. If you leave the seeds, there will be so many cocoons behind you."

The Canfeng Witch gave up and struggled, stunned.

Yes, there are so many cocoons, and it’s no big deal to die of dozens of cocoons.

However, he still didn't understand boiling cocoons.

The whole process of raising silkworms is about to be completed, why is it going to be cooked when it is over?

Isn’t this the past effort wasted?

Ye Qing explained:

"This silkworm cocoon is made of silkworms, circles, and if the silkworm moth bites the cocoon and drills out, the whole silk will be broken into countless pieces, and it will be wasted."

"I put it in water and boil it to extract the whole piece of silk intact."

"There is a layer of glue on the silk. With this layer of glue, the silk can be glued together and form a cocoon."

"Put it in water and cook it, and the glue can be melted. Without the glue, the silk will no longer be glued together, and you can easily pull out a complete thread of silk."

The witch of Canfeng opened her mouth wide in surprise.

The Canfeng tribe has raised silkworms for countless years, but never knew that the cocoon was made of a silk thread.

This was completely beyond his surprise.

"A silk?"

"A silk!"

The witch of Canfeng swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

"How long will it take!"

“More than 1,000 meters!”

hiss!
