Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

After seeing the efficiency of the equipment, Zhao Yeqing felt that he was good again.

Give her a piece of land, and she feels that she is terrifyingly strong now.

It would be great if you can sell it, but if you plant more than two people can eat it all, if you don’t sell it and keep it, it will rot. If you don’t plant it, it feels like a waste of such a good tool.

Zhao Yeqing was a little excited and a little tangled in discussions with Mu Xi until most of the night. Mu Xi basically listened with a smile, and he nodded yes to whatever she said.

It's not that he really feels the need to plant so many, but he knows that Zhao Yeqing is like a child who got a new toy now, and he can just wait until the excitement wears off in a few days.

Otherwise, they are two people sleeping in the same bed. They understand each other thoroughly.

Two or three days later, Zhao Yeqing really didn't mention planting anything anymore because his attention was attracted by other things.

The silkworms in the basement grew very fast. In just a few days, they changed from small black bugs to small white bugs. Their bodies were twice as strong and they kept lifting half of their bodies to look for food every day.

The transplanted mulberry trees adapted well, and the few that seemed unable to survive were picked while the leaves were still semi-fresh and put into feed for the cattle and sheep.

The surviving mulberry trees are enough to feed silkworms, at least for a short period of time. There are not many silkworms now. It is estimated that there are less than 300 wild silkworm eggs found. A normal silkworm moth will lay eggs for 400 eggs. Between 500 and 500, Mu Xi was not quite sure when he found it.

Silkworm eggs are on a leaf. Some of them may be carried away by the wind or fall into the soil, and not many are left.

Wait until this batch of silkworms turns into cocoons, and leave some of them to hatch and become silkworm moths to lay eggs, increasing the number of silkworms. If the two of them just want to have one or two brand-new silk quilts, they won't need so many, but Zhao Yeqing definitely doesn't. It would be so easy to give up silk.

If the silkworm cocoons she saved this time allowed her to successfully produce silk threads in her experiment, she would definitely want to raise more in the future.

When the time comes that there are not enough mulberry trees, we will dig out some more.

The larger silkworms can be placed on the hollow silkworm seat, which is covered with mulberry leaves. Most of them will be consumed in a short time. When I go to feed again in the afternoon, mixed with some wilted mulberry leaf fragments, there are A lot of silkworm grit.

It's silkworm's daddy.

Mu Xi would definitely not let go of this rare good thing. He collected them all and put them on the drying rack in the yard to dry the moisture. After being used as medicine, it can remove moisture and remove the wind. It is very suitable for returning to the south in this spring. The climate environment is almost the rainy season in all four seasons.

It can be used if you have a headache, rubella, itching, or cold pain in your waist and feet.

Crushed mulberry leaves and silkworm grit need to be handled frequently, otherwise if they are mixed together for a long time, greedy silkworms may accidentally eat the shredded mulberry leaves of poor quality and easily develop silkworm diseases.

During this period of time to feed the silkworms, Zhao Yeqing was very sure that he had made the right choice of mulberry leaves. Old mulberry leaves would not be eaten quickly by them, and tender ones would cause diarrhea.

It is best to eat the mulberry leaves you feed within more than an hour, otherwise they will become stale.

An idea flashed in Zhao Yeqing's mind, and he thought of the rotten and dry mulberry leaves with branches on the floor of the silkworm farmer's house.

Could it be that this is the benefit of cutting mulberry branches and feeding them?

You can try it in the future. When this batch of silkworms grows up and the next batch of silkworms is born, you can try it. By then, the mulberry trees should have passed the adaptation period and start to sprout new branches.

It would be nice if we went earlier. From April to June, we might be able to pick a lot of mulberries. The fruits produced by the two large mulberry trees planted near the fish pond will definitely be delicious.

While Zhao Yeqing was sitting in the room taking notes on sericulture, Mu Xi was sharpening his knife in the yard.

Gotta get ready to slaughter the cattle and sheep.

The cows are large and the cow is pregnant again this year. If one is not slaughtered, the cow pen will not be able to accommodate the calf and will need to be expanded by the time the calf is born.

The cattle and sheep to be slaughtered were not taken out to graze today. It should be said that they have not been taken out to graze for two days.

Mu Xi found an electric stick in the village. It was not a wolf-proof electric stick. It was used to shock pigs when they were killed in the village. Once it touches the body, it will stun the body in two seconds. It is simple and convenient.

Mu Xi did not test whether this thing could stun pigs. When it was fully charged and turned on, the vibration of electric current in his hands and the light in his eyes told him that this thing was very powerful.

Slaughter the sheep first. The weight of the sheep is lighter. If the sheep is fine, then go to the electric cattle.

There was only one sheep left in the sheepfold. He was given nothing to eat and only some water to drink. His stomach had been emptied. Mu Xi walked over and started the electric baton and stabbed the sheep's neck.

There was a smell of burning protein, and it seemed that within two seconds, the sheep fell to the ground stiffly.

The four hooves were stretched straight out, as if the body was dead and completely stiff.

"It's quite easy to use." Mu Xi looked satisfied, grabbing the sheep's horns and dragging the sheep out.

After a while of disemboweling and skinning, a sheep was dismembered in less than an hour, and the mutton was packed into a large basin.

Everything was perfect except for the scorch on the piece of wool that had been electrocuted.

Following the same method, he stunned the cow, dragged it outside and cut it up. After cleaning the blood on the scene, he called Zhao Yeqing out and asked her what to eat tonight and which part of the meat needed to be saved.

Zhao Yeqing just came out to take a look when Mu Xi was electrocuting the cow. He was surprised to find out that the cow could really be stunned and then went back to take notes.

After calling Zhao Yeqing, Mu Xi carried the basin of beef into the kitchen and took out the basin of mutton that had just been divided from the freezer. It took him two hours to kill the cow. It was a hot day, so the slaughtered mutton was placed in the kitchen. It won’t be fresh outside for a while.

Two pots of meat were placed on the cooking table. Zhao Yeqing walked in and instructed Mu Xi: "Pick this piece up and see...which piece of sheep is this? It looks tender, and it should be able to be grilled. What about this piece of beef? It still needs to be done." Just order butter and mutton fat and skewer them together.”

She hadn't finished taking notes yet and didn't want to touch anything with blood on her hands. She just stood aside and directed Mu Xi to choose the ingredients for dinner.

The weather is too hot and I don’t want to eat hot pot. Otherwise, according to the past practice, the freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep have to be put into the clear soup pot first. It is better to barbecue. Eating while grilling does not require staple food and can consume more meat.

Mu Xi has a heavy workload today. After slaughtering the cattle and sheep, he must first process the offal. No matter what kind of offal it is, it is much fishier than the meat. Failure to handle it properly or in time will affect the taste of subsequent meals.

After Zhao Yeqing pointed out the parts she wanted to eat, she walked out of the kitchen. She had to write down everything in words while the information about the silkworm house was still in her mind. There was no information for reference, so every change was critical.

At times like this, the convenience of the scientific and technological information age becomes even more evident. The hours of exploration she spent and the accumulation of experience over several months were not as comprehensive as the information she could search in two minutes.
