Chapter 371 It’s Over
Hui Chengyuan shook his head and said nothing.
Because he didn't know either. It was his first time here and he hadn't asked about it.
Yuanman thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
"Lingjia City's silk is so famous, it shouldn't be so destitute."
"Besides, this place is close to the outside world, shouldn't it be more prosperous?"
Hui Chengyuan got off the carriage and held out his hand, saying, "Let's go to the inn and rest for a while. I'll ask someone and we'll know."
"How long are you going to stay here? If it's long, we'll think of another way."
Yuan Man shook his head, "You can leave now."
"Let's go. We don't want to live in this city anymore. Let's go to the farm."
"Ask the steward, he should know something."
So Hui Chengyuan got on the carriage again.
But before getting on the horse, he asked Lingkong to go and check it out.
Yuan Yi drove the carriage, turned around and left the city again.
Zhuangzi was five miles away from the Lingjia city gate and arrived soon.
Yuan Yi drove the carriage directly into the farm and stopped it in an open space.
"Who are you? What's the matter with you coming to the village?" A child about twelve or thirteen years old ran over.
Yuan Man got off the carriage first, looked around and said, "I am the new owner of the manor. Please find the manager."
The child looked at her for a moment, nodded, and turned and ran away.
Hui Chengyuan got out of the car and looked around the farm. Most of the trees he could see around were mulberry trees.
There is also a large house built next to it, which should be a house for raising silkworms.
Yuanman naturally discovered it as well.
This was a good thing for her as she didn't have to find another way to get silk.
Soon the steward came running over.
When he saw Hui Chengyuan, he naturally thought that he was the boss.
"Boss, I am the manager of this manor, my name is Wang Rong."
Hui Chengyuan looked at Yuanman, and when she didn't say anything, he nodded.
"Take us to the other courtyard. We'll rest there tonight."
Wang Rong nodded immediately and pointed, "The villa is over there. It's usually well maintained. You can move in after a little cleaning."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Zhuangzi is raising silkworms, right? How is the harvest?"
Wang Rong smiled and said, "Not bad, we only raised silkworms for two seasons."
"The spring silkworms are ready and ready to be sold."
"It will take some time before the autumn silkworms can be harvested. They will probably be harvested next month, and they will be ready by the end of the year."
After hearing this, Yuan Man asked, "How many silkworms are there in spring?"
Wang Rong paused, "The top grade is 82 kilograms, the good grade is 189 kilograms, and the inferior grade is 321 kilograms."
Yuan Man frowned slightly.
“Is this amount the norm?”
Is this because there aren’t many?
Wang Rong shook his head. "No, I don't know why the quality of silk has started to decline in the past two years."
"Silkworms are also easy to die. Some have grown up but died before they could produce silk."
"In the past, the amount of high-quality silk produced in a season would be many times more than the good quality silk, and there were very few defective silk products."
"Is the entire Lingjia City like this?" Yuan Man asked.
Wang Rong nodded, "Yeah, that's strange. No matter how hard we try, we can't find the cause."
Because of this, the reputation of Lingjiacheng silk was gradually affected.
But there is no way.
Yuan Man followed him and slowly looked at Zhuangzi.
When Yuanbao saw the black fruits hanging on the mulberry tree and asked if they were edible, he immediately pulled Yuansan to pick mulberries.
This is the time to pick mulberries.
With Yuan San following him, Yuan Man naturally let him do what he wanted.
The steward glanced at Hui Chengyuan and said nothing.
Yuanman looked at it for a while and then walked towards the mulberry tree.
As soon as she left, Hui Chengyuan naturally followed, "Madam Xiao, go to the other courtyard with Steward Wang to make arrangements."
"Yes." Madam Xiao bowed and responded.
"Excuse me, Steward Wang."
Wang Rong smiled and nodded, "You're welcome, Ma'am. Please come this way."
Yuanman walked under the mulberry tree and looked at the farmers who were picking fruits.
These mulberry trees are old and tall, so many people climb up the trees to pick the fruits.
"Uncle, are the silkworms in the farm fed with the leaves of these mulberry trees?"
The old man who was picking mulberries under the tree listened and nodded.
"Yes, these trees can raise a lot of silkworms."
"When the silkworms are young, they pick the tender leaves on the tips, and when they grow up, they are fed with older leaves. They all rely on these trees."
Yuanman nodded and looked at the mulberries in the basket.
They are very big, which shows that they take good care of these mulberry trees.
"Are you going to sell all these fruits?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, ten cents a pound."
"Are you here to play?"
Yuan Man nodded, "Yes, come and see."
It is possible that all the mulberry trees in the entire Lingjia City are old, which is why this problem occurs.
She remembered seeing a question like this when she was reading some miscellaneous books.
Silkworms eating old mulberry leaves may have some effects on their growth and health
First, the leaves of old mulberry trees have low water content and are hard in texture, which may cause indigestion.
Second, the leaves of old mulberry trees have relatively low nutritional value, which can cause silkworms to grow slowly and lose weight.
Third, the leaves of old mulberry trees may be more vulnerable to pests and diseases, and silkworms may become sick after eating them.
"System Master, are there any mulberry trees that are specifically for silkworms to eat in the exchange mall?"
[Yes, mulberry tree seeds, one pound is worth 10,000 points.]
"Then help me exchange ten kilograms." She has a lot of points now, and 100,000 points is just a drop in the bucket.
[100,000 points have been deducted, the purchase is successful, and the redeemed items have been placed in the backpack, please check them carefully. ]
"Mom, come here quickly, this black fruit is delicious." Yuanbao's mouth turned black and purple from eating so much.
Yuan Man slapped his forehead and said, "It's over."
"It won't be clean in a few days."
Hui Chengyuan looked over and couldn't bear to watch.
However, he didn't know that mulberry juice is not easy to wash off.
"Yuanbao, why are your face covered with food?" Yuanman walked over.
"It's over, baby, you can't wash your face anymore."
"Why?" Yuanbao looked up at her.
"The juice of many fruits is difficult to wash off." Yuanman took out a handkerchief and wiped him. The handkerchief was dirty, but his face was still dirty.
"You can't have this dress anymore."
"Also, these fruits haven't been washed yet, so you can't put them in your mouth. Be careful not to eat the bugs."
"Ah!" Yuanbao immediately covered his stomach.
"Mom, I don't see any worms on the fruit?"
Yuanman looked at his purple teeth and rolled his eyes. It was really unbearable to look at.
"Those bugs are so small that you can't see them."
"But they're also powerful enough to turn your stomach upside down."
"So, don't eat anything that hasn't been washed, understand?"
Yuan Bao nodded immediately, "Got it, Mom. I'll ask Uncle Yuan San to help me wash some, okay?"
Yuan Man nodded, "Okay, but don't eat too much, otherwise your teeth will get sore and you won't be able to eat."
"Well, it's already dirty, just keep playing. It won't hurt to wait a little longer."
