Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

The next morning, neighbors helped Zhou Qing carry Zhou Xian's body up the mountain.

Then Zhou Qing searched for poisonous insects on the mountain as usual.

The five days passed quickly, and he maintained a regular life.

I get up at dawn every day and go up the mountain, where I stay all day looking for poisonous insects.

After dinner in the evening, he would go to the alley opposite Datong Gambling House in Changle Lane and watch Zhang Dahai in the dark.

Zhang Dahai slept during the day and stayed up all night watching the show.

Every day I would return to my home on Xin'an Lane around 9:00 (5:00 a.m. sharp).

"Brother Zhang Zhang."

"That's right! Don't think that after practicing boxing for two days, you can ride on my head. When you break through the leather refinement, you can let me call you Brother Chao." Zhang Dahai sneered.

Of course, the main reason why the casino steward was so kind to him was that his eldest brother had recently broken through to the Skin Refining Realm and became a steward in the Zhao family.

The next second, a black cloth covered his head.

Zhou Qing carried half a basket of mulberry leaves on his back, nibbling on the steamed buns given by his grandma, and walked on the main road of the market.

"Sure enough! Only when you are full can you have the strength to think about other things."

"You're welcome, we are all neighbors and should take care of each other." Liang Chao waved his hand, Zhou Qing's trust made him feel like he had regained his face.

The three brothers always bully outsiders, but their normal relationship is relatively normal and they don't meet often.

"A senior brother from our boxing gym had a conflict with an apprentice from another martial arts gym in the casino. Zhang Laofi went to break up the fight, but my senior brother punched him and broke his right arm.

"Two hundred pounds of arm strength" Zhou Qing's pupils dilated slightly.

Zhang Dahai walked in the narrow alley leading from Changle Lane to Xin'an Lane, humming as he walked.

After a while, a plate of roast chicken, a large bowl of rice, three white flour buns, and a small plate of pickles were brought over by the waiter.

Although Zhang Laofi is usually very majestic, he is just a paper tiger. That senior brother of mine hasn’t reached the Skin Refining Realm yet! "

And this time half of the silkworms died, so there was only half a silkworm profit.

Zhou Qing's eyes were sharp and he didn't hesitate at all.

"Little brother, please bring me a roast chicken and a big bowl of rice. With the remaining money, I can buy whatever I can."

Zhang Dahai has two older brothers, but their families have separated.

After grabbing that coward Zhou Qing's property and scraping together some money, he can go to the martial arts gym to practice for another three months. This time, he will definitely be able to break through!

A cold voice sounded from the entrance of the alley just a short distance away.

And what Liang Chao just said was easily over two hundred pounds.

According to what Liang Chao said before, warriors have four major refining stages: skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. The skin refining stage is only the first stage of entry.

Before Zhang Dahai could scream, a living creature entered his mouth and crawled directly into his throat, blocking his throat.

"I'm tired from practicing martial arts today. When I enter the Skin Refining Realm, my arm strength will easily exceed 200 kilograms. Just watch!"

If he spends another two or three days reeling the silk and then sells it in the county, it is possible to sell it for three taels or even four taels of silver.

"Ah-uh~!"

Finally, he sandwiched the pickles with a small piece of steamed bun, wiped the plate with the roasted chicken to fully absorb the fat, and then stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.

"Look at my good guy! It's so heavy!" Liang Chao picked up the basket and estimated it weighed about seventy or eighty kilograms.

In the past few days, he had saved a total of thirty-one cents from selling poisonous insects.

"What's so fast?"

He looked back and saw Liang Chao running over wearing a cyan training jacket.

"Let me help you." Liang Chao stretched out his hand to help Zhou Qing carry the basket.

"Easy to say, easy to say! Hahaha!"

He was in a good mood.

Liang Chao looked a little timid when he saw him, clenching and loosening his fists, and his face turned red.

He felt like he had eaten it all the way down his throat.

"Thank you, Chaozi." Zhou Qing didn't say much. It was good that Liang Chao had this intention.

Today, the manager of the casino asked him to go back and rest early, so he was in a good mood.

"I have practiced martial arts, let you see my strength!" Liang Chao insisted.

The second brother Zhang Cheng works as a thug in a small gang called the Wild Wolf Gang in the town.

"Of course," Zhang Dahai replied subconsciously, feeling the hair on his body stand on end.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only go to the mountains to find more poisonous insects."

"No need." Zhou Qing shook his head.

Zhou Qing walked home with his head lowered when a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Okay! Wait a minute!" The waiter smiled and picked up the money, wiped the table with the cloth on his shoulder, and then poured a large bowl of tea for Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing left some cocoons and waited for them to mate after they emerged from the cocoons, leaving behind better quality silkworm seeds.

Liang Chao looked disdainful, as if that senior brother was himself, and the person who was obedient just now was not him.

Although he seemed to look down on Zhang Dahai before, he did not dare to shout out the nickname Zhang Laofi when they met him in person.

Liang Chao put down the basket and saw Zhou Qing carrying the basket easily, so he said harshly:

As he spoke, he walked up to Zhou Qing who was standing aside, stretched out his left hand and patted his shoulder.

Zhang Dahai's reaction was not slow. While holding his breath, he raised his hands to protect his eyes and retreated sharply.

As long as he can still eat a little bit, he will drink another bowl of dishwater.

This meal was the best and most filling meal Zhou Qing had eaten in the two months since he came to this world.

The reason why I can save so much is because it rained heavily the day before yesterday, and the harvest that day was not small.

Maybe if I'm happy, I'll give you another month's grace! "

However, it takes more than a day to walk on dozens of miles of mountain roads, and there are too many uncertainties on the road.

Zhou Qing changed the topic.

"What are you crazy about! If you are so powerful, you won't have your hands broken!" When Zhang Dahai walked away, Liang Chao spat softly.

He looked at the wooden menu hanging on the wall, sat down at a table near the wall, and took out all the thirty-one cents.

This is still the price of selling silkworm cocoons directly.

His eldest brother Zhang Jian works as a servant in the Zhao family, so he basically lives in the Zhao family.

When he went to see it last night, Zhang Dahai's hand was still fine.

He sneered inwardly.

Zhang Dahai may not come over to see the progress of his silkworm raising.

"By the way, Chaozi, I remembered that I still have something to buy. Why don't you go back first."

boom!

A brick hit him on the forehead.

Once you have money, learn martial arts, and become stronger, you can carry more mulberry leaves back.

In order to reserve travel expenses to the county seat, he had allowed Green Silk Gu to eat a lot of poisonous insects in the past few days.

Later, the manager of the casino came out to persuade me to make peace, so my senior brother gave up and paid some money to settle the matter.

"Should we go to the county seat?"

Nearly one-third of the silkworms are still spinning silk, and the cocoons they spin are more than twice the size of normal cocoons.

This evening.

However, if you don’t go to the county town to sell it, the price is likely to be reduced.

Liang Chao was feeling proud when a tall man with a sinewy face walked out of the alley at the corner of the street. He was dressed in black and his exposed arms were full of strong muscles. Only his right arm was bent and hung with a bandage.

Although my right arm was broken yesterday when I was trying to break up a fight, I received compensation.

Because most of the silkworm babies who had eaten green silkworm Gu Baba were still spinning silk.

"What? Chao, you think I'm easy to bully after seeing my broken hand? Brother Zhang didn't even scream?!"

"Did someone break his hand?" Zhou Qing asked.

According to the progress of sericulture this time, I can earn more than one or two more silver every time in the future.

"Ah Qing, count the days, there are about four or five days left, your silkworms will spin silk, right?

Remember to sell it at a good price when the time comes, just in time to make up for your brother Zhang.

Zhou Qing swallowed, poured some tea into his palms, rubbed the mud off his hands, and then wiped his hands vigorously on the clothes around his waist.

The profit from this batch can be conservatively estimated to be one to two to five yuan.

"Don't worry, when I break through, I will help you deal with Zhang Dahai!"

In other words, from May to September, it is conservatively estimated that his monthly income from silkworm raising will be stable at more than two taels of silver.

"Zhang Dahai." Liang Chao's expression changed when he saw the person coming.

"You must sign up as soon as possible to obtain the status of martial arts apprentice."

If you go to the county town to sell silk, you can get a good price.

fragrant!

Soon, he had eaten the food in the dishes one by one.

Looking at the few grains of rice left in the bowl, Zhou Qing poured some more tea into it, washed up the rice and fat in the bowl, and drank it.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Liang Chao nodded.

Get started!

He started directly, pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

thump!

Zhang Dahai fell straight to the ground.

Zhang Dahai's eyes widened, and the flesh on his face trembled.

At that time, you can just raise two silkworms.

"Is that so?" Zhou Qing looked thoughtfully at the direction Zhang Dahai was leaving.

One month is just Zhou Qing's delaying strategy.

It only takes two or three days for normal silkworms to complete spinning and cocooning, while the silkworms at home spun silk for at least four days.

After practicing martial arts, more money will definitely be consumed.

"Aqing!"

Zhou Qing was silent for a while after hearing this. He raised his head with a dull and dull look. "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Hiccup~!"

A man in black, masked with black cloth, appeared at the entrance of the alley, raised his hand suddenly, and scattered a large handful of white ash.

Zhou Qing hesitated.

"啷婷婷啷~!"

In the previous life, the arm strength of an average adult with one hand was between 60 kilograms and 120 kilograms. The arm strength of two hundred kilograms with one arm was already close to the world record.

After Liang Chao left, Zhou Qing carried a basket and entered a small restaurant at the end of the street.

After eating too much, Zhou Qing sat down to relax for a while, then touched his round belly, let out a big burp, and walked out of the restaurant with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing put down the basket.

Yin hour two quarters (3:30 in the morning)

Zhang Dahai left proudly.

"Hey! Aren't these Ah Qing and Ah Chao!"

"Give it to me." Zhou Qing stretched out his hand.

Zhang Cheng lives in Xin'an Lane, but it is far away from Zhang Dahai's home.

"Just wait, I'm almost there." Zhang Dahai murmured to himself.

No wonder everyone wants to become a warrior!

"Hmph!" Seeing Zhou Qing's surprised look, Liang Chao felt a little proud, as if he had entered the Skin Refining Realm and became a warrior.

The most important thing is that the quality of this batch of silk is pretty good.

"Ah Qing?" Seeing Zhou Qing's silence, Liang Chao thought he was still worried.

What a fool!

Why did you pretend to make a surprise attack in advance?

As soon as Zhang Dahai took two steps back, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a strange itching and burning sensation rushing to the top of his head.

Bang bang bang! ! !

Zhou Qing clenched the brick and hit Zhang Dahai on the head seven or eight times. He didn't stop until a large area of ​​blood spread from the back of the opponent's head.

He lifted up the blood-stained black cloth and saw that Zhang Dahai's skull was shattered and a large piece of his head was dented. He was already dead.
