Yue Siyuan and Jinghan talked for a long time, and then Jinghan also agreed to sell these cocoons to Yue Siyuan. Although the pupa inside is a good thing to nourish the body, no one can eat it at once, so the value of the silkworm pupa can be ignored for the time being. The price given by Yue Siyuan is ten cents per pound of cocoons, and the cocoons at home are nearly two thousand pounds, which means they can sell for about twenty taels of silver. Jinghan calculated it and it was almost the same. They didn't pay anything else, but they just burned some fire when they first heated up and hatched. The rest was only the time for the few girls to see it for fifty days. It would be great to be able to sell twenty taels of silver.

Since the negotiation was completed, Yue Siyuan agreed that someone would come to take it away tomorrow, and said that the cocoons of the year were also left for him, so he would study it carefully. Jinghan naturally had nothing to say about this. It was rare to meet someone who knew the goods. Ask him to leave it for him. "Uncle Yue, in addition to the yellowing on it, the dyeing of this tussah silk is slightly not easy. In addition, the tussah silk is elastic and more resistant to washing. There are also yarns woven with it, which will have natural wrinkles and are very beautiful." Jinghan decided to tell some of the characteristics of the tussah silk for Yue Siyuan to use for reference. "Also, this kind of silk can also be made into a quilt, not as soft as mulberry silk, but it is a bit hard, but it is very warm."

Yue Siyuan nodded and didn't ask how Jinghan knew. This little girl was a bit mysterious, but Yue Siyuan was not the kind of person who was idle and asked around. "Okay, I remember what you said."

After discussing these, Yue Siyuan went to the old man and his house and went to see the old man and the old lady, "Uncle, aunt, I was too anxious to see the tusserole cocoon just now. I didn't come to see you two first, don't be angry." Yue Siyuan entered the house and apologized to the two old men first.

"Oh, how dare you behave? We are very grateful to Mr. Yue who can come to the mountain in person. Besides, this cocoon is a big deal, so I dare not be the apology from Mr. Yue." The old man quickly stood up to greet him.

"Uncle, don't call me a master or a master. Zhixin and I are brothers, just call me Siyuan. Wenhan and Pengcheng are classmates, and they are close friends. Our families are just like relatives." Yue Siyuan stepped forward to greet the old man, and then helped the old man to the kang, and the two chatted there. Chen went out to boil water and make tea.

Everyone sat down in the house and talked about watching the tour on the mountain. After hearing about the events of the Xu family over the years, Yue Siyuan couldn't help but sigh. "Uncle, you don't have to think too much. I think this is good. Who has no ups and downs in life? Even the first-class people in the dynasty will not dare to say that there will be no one to lose. We have a hard time before us, but all the children in the family are capable, and these children will not be ordinary people in the future. Uncle, you always have a blessing in the future. Let's wait and enjoy the happiness in the future." Yue Siyuan patted the old man's hand and said.

"Okay, thank you for your nephew's good words, I, the old man, are waiting to enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren. Don't leave at noon, let them make some good dishes, let's have a few drinks." The old man and Yue Siyuan became more and more prone to talk, so he asked him to stay for dinner.

"Uncle, I have learned your kindness. Today I can't do it. I have to transport these cocoons back and think about it carefully. Besides, there are many things at home, so I have to go back and work hard. Another day, I have arranged things well, and then went up the mountain to drink with my uncle. Do you think it's like?" Yue Siyuan's family has many industries. If he hadn't heard of such unseen silkworms today, how could he have had the spare time to run up the mountain?

The old man also understood that he was busy, so he didn't force himself to stay, so he nodded, "Sure, then we'll make up. If you have time in the future, we will definitely come."

Yue Siyuan chatted with everyone for a while, then got up and said goodbye. The cocoons were naturally transported in one car. They took three hundred kilograms away first, and sent someone to pull the rest back. The two families in Yue's family were all able to peel the cocoons and silk. It won't take long to get these back to get them done.

There are big scales on the mountain, and everyone weighs them in baskets. These baskets were all woven when Brother Zhixin was fine. Everyone knows these, and they don’t have to be so beautiful. It’s enough to be used. A basket of silkworm cocoons is about 200 kilograms. Yue Siyuan and the others transported away two baskets of silkworm cocoons and agreed that the rest would be taken away tomorrow.

Looking at the shadow of the carriage walking away, Jinghan felt relieved. At least she sold the cocoons, otherwise she would have been afraid of hitting her hands and would have no use. "Grandma, these cocoons can be sold for about twenty taels of silver, which is a lot. If you keep more this year, it will be better next year, and there will be much more next year than this year." Jinghan was still very excited. She only left nearly a thousand cocoons and sold twenty taels of silver. If all the 10,000 pieces of next year hatched, it would be ten times more than this year? That would be a lot. Jinghan couldn't help but imagine that situation.

"We Jinghan is still capable. When we encounter a bug on the mountain, we can even sell it for money. It's amazing." Zhiming gave a thumbs up from the side and compared it to Jinghan.

"Uncle San, you can't say that. If Jingwan and Jingxian weren't helping me, how could I be busy?" Jinghan smiled, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. The new strain of bacteria should be almost the same. We will have to plant mushrooms in two days. Everyone is tired these two days, so let's take a rest first." After Jinghan finished speaking, he led Jingwan and Jingxian back to their house and went to rest. No matter how energetic the children are, they can't resist being so busy.

The next day, Yue Siyuan sent someone to pull away the cocoons. After soaking them all, they said that there were more than 2,000 kilograms of cocoons, and a total of 21 taels of silver were sold. The manager of the Yue family directly gave the money to Zhixin, and then he asked someone to drive the car away.

Chen said that he wanted Jinghan to take the money, but Jinghan didn't want it, so Chen saved it.

After getting busy with these cocoons, the next step is to plant mushrooms. Still, like last year, I used eye-punching things to make my eyes on the wood, then filled the fungus seeds and covered it with wood. This time there are more types of planting. The elm and yellow mushrooms were still producing mushrooms last year, so I will make less this time. It’s not July yet, and these mushrooms have been planted, and I guess they can produce one this year. The quality of fungus growing in autumn is better than that in spring.

Because there are only those two houses at home and the place is not big, Jinghan can only plant less elm chanterelle and oyster mushrooms, and a variety of erectus mushrooms and fungus. If you buy a house in the future, you will have to build a few big houses specifically for mushroom production in winter, otherwise you won’t have to do the trading of these mushrooms. Jinghan is thinking about what will happen in the future.

After planting mushrooms, the ginseng seeds at home should be pinched again, and the next step is to stop the ginseng seeds. There are several fewer people working at home, so everyone has to do it together and try to do it as quickly as possible.

Wenhan and the others were going to take the college entrance examination, so in mid-July, Wenhan walked with Zixuan and Pengcheng. Before leaving, Wenhan went back to the venue, and Chen took Wenhan thirty taels of silver to use it as a flower for this college entrance examination. Because there were others walking with him, and the family was really too busy, no one was with the Xu family. However, the Yue family sent two servants to accompany him.

As soon as Wen Han left, Chen would chant a few words every day. Everyone said that his son could not even catch up with his grandson. Chen then let it go and stopped chanting.

Next, the food in the field should be collected at home, and the village has set up a bait for August 12th. This year, the manpower is not enough, so I got busy. Everyone got up early and went to bed late. It took six or seven days to collect all the crops in the field and process them all. Wen Xuan and Wenchang came back on the tenth day of August to help their bait for the house.

This year, I asked for another thirty feet of ginseng soil, so I still handed over 120 kilograms of sticks, leaving 170 kilograms. Chen led his wife and granddaughters to brush and steam the sticks. Wencheng no longer sent fish to the town. Everyone went into the mountains to pull various things together. It was only a few days a year, so who would be willing to waste it?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingnian and Zhide families also came back, helped their family work for two days before leaving. After all, they stopped all the places where the sticks were raised. The sticks that were blocked were probably similar to those in the previous two years, and everyone, Chen and the others steamed all of them again.

The weather this year has started to mess up, and it rains all day long and there is no sun. This makes Chen so worried. These sticks are steamed and they have to be dried outside. However, in such weather, even if the sticks are hung outside, they can't even be put in the house. Seeing that the sticks are not dry, they will grow hair, which makes Chen's mouth so sad that it is so blistering.

"Grandma, why are you worried about this? Isn't there a firewall and a stove in the two idle houses? Put the sticks into the house, then burn them on the fire and roast them. Pay attention to ventilation, so that the sticks can also dry them." Jinghan asked why grandma was anxious, and then said with a laugh and cry. In his previous life, there was a house that specialized in making ginseng, which was for drying. The weather in the past few years was good, so Jinghan didn't remember it.

After hearing this, Chen said half-believingly. "Can this work? Haven't you tried it before?"

"Grandma, don't worry, it's okay. The drying rod is slightly darker than the dried rod. If you don't look carefully, it's okay. It's better than us, letting the rod grow hair." Jinghan advised Chen.

Chen had no choice but to agree with Jinghan's method, put some shelves into the two houses, then carried the forks in the mallet, burned the fire wall and stove in the house, and roasted the mallets. This method was really easy to use, and the mallets gradually dried up.
