Reborn in the Age of Ancient Behemoths

Chapter 57 Boiling cocoons and drawing silk

Bai Xuan nodded when he heard this, and then said: Okay, little sister.

After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he sat on the low wooden stool next to Bai Yao and began to pick up the silkworm cocoon and tear off the messy silk on the cocoon with his hands.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he tore off the messy silk from the silkworm cocoon in his hand, put it in the rattan basket, looked at Bai Xuan and the others and said: Brother, second sister, Bai Yao, I'll wash the pot and boil water.

You continue to tear away the tangled threads from the cocoon.

After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the stove.

Ten minutes later, after the water in the stone pot boiled, Bai Xuan poured five cocoons with torn silk threads behind the stone pot.

Bai Xuan walked up to Bai Xuan and Bai Yao, who were still tearing off the strands on the surface of the cocoon, and said: Brother, Bai Yao, please stop tearing off the strands on the surface of the cocoon.

I will teach you how to draw silk. After you learn how to do it, you will cook silkworms here and draw silk. My second sister and I will go back to the cave to make dinner.

After hearing this, Bai Xuan and Bai Yao put the silkworm cocoons with torn silk threads in their hands into the rattan basket in front of them. They stood up and looked at Bai Xuan and said: Okay, little sister, sister Xuan.

After Bai Xuan and Bai Yao finished speaking, they walked towards the stove with Bai Xuan. After walking to the stove, Bai Xuan picked up a relatively smooth small wooden stick.

Looking at Bai Xuan and Bai Yao, they said: Brother, Bai Yao, after the silkworm cocoons in the stone pot are boiled until soft, stir them quickly in the stone pot with a wooden stick like me.

When Bai Xuan said this, he took the wooden stick in his hand and stirred it in the stone pot. After a while, several threads appeared in the stone pot.

Bai Xuan picked up the silk thread and wound it around the wooden stick, and said: Brother, Bai Yao, use the wooden stick to stir the silk thread in the stone pot, then pick it up with the wooden stick and wind it around the wooden stick.

Then just turn the wooden stick in your hand and let the silk thread slowly wrap around the wooden stick. After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he handed the wooden stick in his hand to Bai Yao.

After Bai Yao took it, he quickly turned the wooden stick in his hand. After Bai Yao took the wooden stick in Bai Xuan's hand, Bai Xuan took it. Looking at Bai Xuan, he asked: Little sister, why are there only five cocoons in the stone pot and not more?

When Bai Yao heard this, he was winding the silk thread and looking at Bai Xuan, wondering why he didn't put more cocoons in the stone pot.

Bai Xuan heard this and replied: If you put more cocoons, the silk thread will be thicker. If you think the silk thread from five cocoons is thin, wait until all the silk threads from these five cocoons are wound.

When you put silkworm cocoons in the stone pot, you can put a few more.

By the way, brother, Bai Yao, the thinner the thread, the softer the fabric will be woven in the future, and it will be more beautiful and delicate.

Bai Xuan: That’s it! Then when we put silkworm cocoons in the stone pot later, let’s put five of them!

The cocoons in this world are as big as Bai Xuan's fist, and the silk threads are naturally several times thicker. There is no need to boil more cocoons to draw silk.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he looked at Bai Xuan and Bai Yao and said: Brother, Bai Yao, my second sister and I went back to the cave to make dinner. After dinner is ready, we will call you.

By the way, Bai Yao, turning the wooden stick to wind the silk thread by hand is not only slow, but also very tiring. You can use the wind power to try to control the wooden stick to make it rotate automatically.

Bai Yao: Let me try. After Bai Yao finished speaking, the wooden stick in Bai Yao's hand slowly left Bai Yao's hand and flew into the air.

The wooden stick completely separated from Bai Yao's hand and started spinning rapidly in the air. Seeing that there was no other problem, Bai Xuan was about to leave the stove and call his second sister back to the cave to make dinner.

Bai Xuan stopped Bai Xuan. Bai Xuan looked at Bai Xuan and said: Little sister, Bai Yao can do it alone, what should I do?

Bai Xuan: Brother, you left to light the fire and tear off the messy silk threads on the surface of the silkworm cocoons that have not yet been torn off. When the silkworm cocoons in the stone pot are about to be completely pulled out, remember to put a few more silkworm cocoons into the stone pot to tear off the messy silk threads. of silkworm cocoons.

Brother, is there anything else?

If not, I will ask the second sister to go back to the cave to make dinner.

Bai Xuan: No more, little sister, go back!

Bai Xuan nodded towards Bai Xuan after hearing this, and walked directly to Bai Lan. Bai Xuan walked up to Bai Lan, looked at Bai Lan and said: Second sister, don't tear the messy threads on the surface of the cocoon.

It's a bit late, we should go back to the cave to make dinner. In a while, my father, mother, eldest sister, and second brother will be back.

After Bai Lan put the silkworm cocoon that had just torn off the messy silk in her hand into the rattan basket, she stood up and looked at Bai Xuan and said: Okay, let's go! Little sister.

Bai Xuan:Okay.

An hour later, Bai Xuan, Bai Lan and Bai Juan put the barbecue, fried meat, stew and soup on the stone table.

Bai Xuan looked at Bai Lan and Bai Juan and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, I'll call eldest brother. Bai Yao is back for dinner."

After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he walked up to Bai Rui, Lan Lan and Bai Hao who were tearing out the silkworm cocoons, picked up two bags of silkworm cocoons and walked directly out of the cave.

As soon as Bai Xuan walked into the thatched shed, he saw Bai Xuan who was about to leave the thatched shed. Bai Xuan also saw Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan looked at Bai Xuan who was carrying two bags of animal skins filled with cocoons and said: "Little sister, you are here to deliver cocoons to us. I was just going to go back and carry two more bags of cocoons."

Bai Xuan put down the two bags of silkworm cocoons on his shoulders, looked at Bai Xuan and said: Brother, I am here to call you back to the cave for dinner, and I will carry two bags of silkworm cocoons by the way.

After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards the stove. Bai Xuan walked up to Bai Yao and said: Bai Yao, stop winding the silk thread and go back to the cave to have dinner.

Hearing this, Bai Yao looked at Bai Xuan and said: Sister Xuan, these silkworm cocoons in the stone pot are about to run out of silk.

After I wrap all the silk from these cocoons around the wooden stick, we will go back. Sister Xuan, have you seen the rows of silk balls behind me?

Bai Xuan: I saw it, Bai Yao, you moved so fast, the eight bags of silkworm cocoons were almost finished and wound into balls.

Bai Yao turned the wooden stick in the air with his wind power and said: "It's not that fast. If there were several pots here to cook cocoons and draw silk at the same time, we would have finished drawing the silk and wrapped it around the wooden stick."

Bai Xuan looked at Bai Yao with a little embarrassment and said: Bai Yao, after dinner, can you go back later?

I want to boil and extract the silkworm cocoons I brought back today. Can you help me later?

At this time, all the silkworm cocoons in the stone pot had finished spinning and were wrapped around the wooden stick. Bai Yao withdrew his wind power and caught the ball of silk thread that fell from the air and was wrapped around the wooden stick.

Bai Yao looked at Bai Xuan and said, "Okay, sister Xuan." After Bai Yao finished speaking, he bent down and inserted the wood at one end of the thread in his hand on the dirt ground in the straw shed.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he said happily: Bai Yao, thank you. After I finish weaving the silk cloth, I will give you part of it.

Bai Yao straightened up and looked at Bai Xuan and said: Thank you very much, Sister Xuan.

Sister Xuan, let’s go!

Bai Xuan:Okay.

Then Bai Xuan turned to look at Bai Xuan and shouted: Brother, let's go, go back to the cave for dinner.
