Chapter 59 Boiling cocoons and opening cotton

Ten minutes later, Bai Xuan made all the wooden blocks in front of him into bow-shaped tools, and then Bai Xuan placed all the bow-shaped tools in the vine.

Then Bai Xuan left the cave directly with the rattan basket containing the bow tools and walked towards his huge stone house. Bai Xuan originally wanted to use bamboo to make bow tools, but Bai Xuan could not find bamboo around the tribe so far.

When Bai Xuan arrived at the hay shed, Bai Rui and others had already torn the messy silk from two bags of silkworm cocoons. Today, Bai Xuan and the other six picked a total of 156 bags of silkworm cocoons.

But there were still many cocoons that had not been picked out in the mulberry forest. Bai Xuan looked at Bai Xuan who walked into the thatched shed and said: Little sister, you are here.

Bai Xuan nodded towards Bai Xuan when he heard this. Then Bai Xuan put down the rattan basket in his hand and walked to the stove to boil water and boil silkworm cocoons.

When Bai Xuan walked to the stove, he saw that there was half a pot of water in the stone pot, and it was already boiling water. Seeing this, Bai Xuan turned around and walked to Lan Lan and the others.

Lifting up two rattan baskets containing silkworm cocoons that had torn out the tangled silk from the cocoons, he turned and walked directly towards the stove. Bai Xuan poured the two rattan baskets of silkworm cocoons into the stone pot.

After Bai Xuan put two pieces of wood into the stove, Bai Xuan carried the rattan basket and walked towards Lan Lan and the others.

After Bai Xuan walked in front of Lan Lan and the others, he put down the rattan basket and sat on a low stool where there was space. He tore off the tangled threads on the surface of the cocoons with his hands while chatting with Lan Lan and the others.

Half an hour later, Bai Xuan put down the silkworm cocoon that he had just torn off the messy silk into the rattan basket. Bai Xuan stood up and walked towards the stove. Bai Xuan walked to the stove and looked at the things already in the stone pot. After cooking the silkworm cocoons for about half an hour.

Bai Xuan picked up the wooden colander and directly used the wooden colander to hold the cocoons in the stone pot. After filling the cocoons, Bai Xuan poured them directly into the stone vat with water on the side.

A few minutes later, after all the cocoons in the stone pot were poured into the stone vat, Bai Xuan returned to the living room of the huge stone house and carried a stone vat.

He went to the stream to fetch water. After fetching the water, Bai Xuan carried it next to the stove. He scooped a few spoons of water into the stone jar with a wooden water ladle and poured it into the stone pot. Bai Xuan put a few wooden blocks into the stove. back.

Bai Xuan went to pick up two rattan baskets, tore off the silkworm cocoons with messy silk on the surface, poured them into the stone pot, and poured the two rattan baskets of silkworm cocoons into the stone pot.

Bai Xuan carried the empty rattan basket, walked up to Lan Lan and the others and said, "Mom, eldest sister, second sister, please stop tearing out the messy threads on the surface of the cocoon. I'll teach you how to open the cotton."

After hearing this, Lan Lan, Bai Juan and Bai Lan tore off the messy silk threads on the surface of the silkworm cocoons in their hands and put them in the rattan basket. Then they stood up and said one after another: "Okay, Xuan Zai, little sister."

After Bai Xuan brought Lan Lan and the others to the stone jar containing silkworm cocoons, Bai Xuan gave each of the three cotton-opening tools one to each of them.

Bai Xuan placed the remaining cotton-opening tool on the two corners of the stone vat and stood it up. Then Bai Xuan stretched out his hands and picked up a silkworm cocoon soaked in the stone vat.

After tearing the silkworms out with his hands, Bai Xuan stretched the torn cocoon with both hands and put it on the bow-shaped tool placed on the stone jar.

After Bai Xuan put the cocoon on the bow-shaped tool, Bai Xuan looked up at Lan Lan and asked: Mom, eldest sister, second sister, have you seen it?

Lan Lan and the others nodded when they heard this, and then Bai Xuan and Bai Rui continued to tear out the messy threads on the surface of the cocoon.

Each time Bai Xuan and the others put five or six stretched silkworm cocoons on the bow-shaped tool, the four Bai and Xuan people would take them off the bow-shaped tool, wring out the water and hang them on the wooden poles set aside.

After Bai Rui and the others tore off all the messy silk on the cocoons, they also helped open the cotton. Bai Xuan and the others were busy until one or two o'clock in the morning before boiling all the more than one hundred bags of silkworm cocoons, opening the cotton and drying them. On the wooden pole set up by Bai Xuan and others.

In the next two days, Bai Xuan, Bai Juan, Bai Lan, Bai Xuan, Bai Hao, and Bai Yao went to the giant tree forest to pick silkworm cocoons every day during the day, and cooked the cocoons to make cotton at night.

Bai Xuan and the others had not picked all the cocoons in the mulberry forest in the giant tree forest for four days, and there were still some cocoons on the mulberry trees that had not yet been picked.

Bai Xuan felt that the silk thread was enough for the time being, so instead of spinning the cooked cocoons and winding them into balls of silk thread, Bai Xuan unwound all the cocoons he had picked back in the past two days.

Silkworm cocoons are available in spring, summer, and autumn, so Bai Xuan is not worried about not having enough cocoon silk. That night, Bai Xuan and the others boiled all the cocoons they brought back and opened the cotton.

When Bai Rui and others were about to go home to rest, Bai Xuan stopped Bai Rui and others. After hearing this, Bai Rui and others turned to look at Bai Xuan and asked Bai Xuan if there was anything else.

Hearing this, Bai Xuan looked at Bai Rui and the others and said, "Eldest brother, eldest sister, second brother, second sister, Bai Yao, we won't pick silkworm cocoons tomorrow. The cocoons we picked these past few days are enough for us."

Bai Xuan paused for a moment when he said this, then looked at Bai Rui and said: Father, there are still some cocoons on the mulberry trees that have not been picked in the mulberry forest in the giant forest.

Father, ask the leader if you want to go to the mulberry forest in the giant tree forest to pick silkworm cocoons.

When Bai Rui heard this, he looked at Bai Xuan and asked: Xuan Zai, do you want to teach the tribe to weave?

Bai Xuan nodded when he heard this, and then said: I have this plan, but I don't know if I can successfully weave cloth. I plan to try it tomorrow with the loom I made some time ago.

So, Father, when you go to ask the leader if he or she wants to pick the cocoons, make it clear to the leader. If the leader is unwilling to pick the cocoons, then we will pick those cocoons back the day after tomorrow and boil them and extract the silk.

Bai Rui: I'll go talk to the leader tomorrow morning.

Bai Xuan: Father, if the leader wants to pick silkworm cocoons.

You must tell them that on every mulberry tree with silkworm cocoons, two or thirty silkworm cocoons must be left and cannot be picked.

Let it stay on the mulberry tree, otherwise there may be no silkworms there in the future.

Bai Rui nodded when he heard this, and then said: I will tell the leader, by the way, Xuan Zai, is there anything else you want to say?

Bai Xuan: One more thing is that if the leaders go to pick silkworm cocoons, they will pick back the cocoons.

Anyone of you can teach them how to boil silkworms and draw silk, but I won’t go.

After I can weave, I will also teach my grandmother, eldest sister, and second sister how to weave.

Let them teach, okay, there is nothing else to do, father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister, second brother, second sister, Bai Yao, please go back! Be careful on the road and don't fall.

After Bai Rui and the others said goodbye to Bai Xuan, they went to their respective homes.

After Bai Rui and others left, Bai Xuan also went back to the bedroom in the big stone house to rest.

The next morning, the sun shined through the giant colorful butterfly wings window onto the face of Bai Xuan, who was still sleeping. After a while.

Bai Xuan, who was sleeping soundly, felt hot. After kicking off the animal skin quilt, he felt that it was still very hot, so he slowly opened his eyes.
