Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Xiao Mo was busy with all the affairs in the city all day long, while Ye Jintang was busy in the various workshops.

There were almost 1000 bags of silk cocoons in the space before she took out a bag of cocoons and gave it to Gu Waner.

In the study, Ye Jintang took a silkworm cocoon and played with it in his hands. On the small table next to him were two cut open, plump silkworm pupae that had been peeled out. Luzhu put the pupae on the charcoal stove to roast them. The aroma of the roasted pupae could be faintly smelled in the study.

When Gu Wan'er entered the room, Ye Jintang had just tasted a roasted silkworm pupa, which tasted very good.

"Cousin, I have a batch of top-quality silk cocoons here. Ask among the female workers to see if there is anyone who can spin silk."

Gu Wan'er was amazed as she looked at the huge silk cocoons in the sack in front of her.

When she was at her mother's house, she had seen workers spinning silk cocoons. The cocoons she saw were very small, and their luster was far inferior to that of Ye Jintang's.

"This is the first time I've seen such a big cocoon. I don't know if it will be the same as our ordinary cocoons when spinning silk. What if it is damaged?"

"Just go ahead and do it. If it breaks, it breaks. I still have a lot of it here."

There are thousands of sacks of silkworm cocoons in Ye Jintang's space, so it doesn't matter if one or two bags are damaged.

"I feel relieved with your words, otherwise I would not dare to take such a good cocoon."

"When you process the silkworm cocoons, remember to send me the pupae. Fried silkworm pupae are very delicious."

"what?"

Gu Wan'er was petrified. She had never heard that silkworm pupae were edible.

"My lady, a silkworm pupa is a large light brown insect. Is it too disgusting to eat it?"

On the small table were a few silkworm pupae that had just been peeled from the green pearl. They were all alive, twisting and turning on the plate, making Gu Waner's scalp tingle.

"You don't know this, silkworm pupae are good things."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang took a roasted silkworm pupa and handed it to Gu Waner.

"The burnt aroma in the room comes from this little guy. Would you like to try it, cousin?"

Looking at the black silkworm pupae in Ye Jintang's hand, Gu Wan'er was a little hesitant.

When she entered the house just now, she smelled a strange fragrance in the house. She didn't expect it to be coming from the roasted silkworm pupae.

But when she saw the black appearance of the silkworm pupae, she was somewhat hesitant. Can this thing really be eaten?

"Cousin, although silkworm pupae are ugly, they are delicious."

Ye Jintang directly stuffed the silkworm pupa into Gu Wan'er's hands. She was so scared that she almost dropped the pupa on the ground.

The tiny silkworm pupa was placed in the palm of her hand, still with a hint of heat and a strange fragrance that filled her nose. Gu Wan'er couldn't help swallowing.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and quickly put the silkworm pupa into her mouth.

The silkworm pupae are roasted to a crispy aroma and taste very crispy when eaten.

Gu Wan'er was scared to death just now, but when she ate a silkworm pupa, her eyes opened suddenly.

“These silkworm pupae are really delicious.”

"That's right. From now on, we will process a lot of silk cocoons every day, so we won't have to worry about not having silkworm pupae to eat."

"My lady, I will go find someone right away."

Gu Wan'er thought to herself, a sack of silkworm cocoons, must contain enough silkworm pupae to fill a small basin, right?

If she fried a bowl of it in oil, she couldn't even imagine how happy she would be eating the silkworm pupae.

Ningchuan City has a large population, and it would be impossible to find it if there were too many of them, but seven or eight people who were good at unraveling the mystery could still find it.

In just one morning, Gu Wan'er came to Ye Jintang with a small spindle wrapped with some white silk thread.

"Your Highness is amazing. The silk cocoons you gave me are very special. I can peel out the entire cocoon with just one thread, and it never breaks in the middle."

"The nanny who was spinning the silk said that this was the first time she had seen such a strange cocoon in her entire life."

"Moreover, the silk extracted is extremely fine and resilient, and the silk threads made from it are all top-quality."

Listening to Gu Wan'er praising her silk, Ye Jintang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips slightly. The quality of the products produced in the space is absolutely guaranteed.

"That's good. Since there are people who can spin silk, you can look for women who can weave silk and satin. This time we are not looking for ordinary weaving women, but those with skills."

"I understand that such fine silk thread should be used to make the finest brocade."

"Well, you can spread the news. As long as they are skilled female workers, I will not only pay them high wages, but also give them the status of ordinary people regardless of their previous status."

Ye Jintang meant that as long as the other party was not a refugee who committed heinous crimes, she could restore her status as an ordinary citizen.

"Yes, I'll go put up the notice right away."

Gu Wan'er was extremely excited.

In the past, weaving workshops only produced fine cloth of slightly better quality, but no matter how good it was, it was just cloth. But silk fabrics were different.

There are many patterns of brocade woven from silk. If someone among the people she brings with her can weave precious brocade, she will be proud when she goes out in the future.

The news that the Qin Palace was recruiting female workers to weave brocade soon spread throughout the city. Many people felt that the Qin Palace had gone crazy. Ningchuan City was a place of exile, so how could there be female workers to weave brocade?

Even if she lived in the city for a few years, her hands would become very rough. Even if she could weave brocade, her rough hands would damage the silk threads during the weaving process.

Ye Jintang was not in a hurry this time. She knew that if she really couldn't find suitable female workers in the winter, she would transport people from other places after the spring of next year.

As long as she had enough silver, she could get not only a few female workers, but even a craftsman to make clothes for the emperor.

The closer it gets to the New Year, the colder it gets in Ningchuan City. When I woke up, I saw nothing but white outside the window. I don't know when a heavy snow fell last night.

Ye Jintang, who was feeling a little sleepy, hid in the quilt and didn't want to get up. Lu Zhu said that Gu Wan'er had come early in the morning, so she got up reluctantly.

"Why don't you see the prince so early in the morning?"

Ye Jintang asked this question while washing up.

The two of them spent a long time together and gradually developed a tacit understanding. Usually in the morning, Xiao Mo would go out to practice sword, and then come back to the room to wake her up. Today he didn't wake her up, and Ye Jintang felt a little uncomfortable.

"Jiang Heng came just now and called the prince to the front yard, but the prince said he would be back to have breakfast with the queen in a while."

"Ah."

Ye Jintang thought that being a prince was quite tiring, as all matters big and small within the fiefdom required his approval.

This is why the prince is so busy, what if it is the emperor?

It’s not true that I wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs.

If this is true, then it would be better for him not to be the emperor.

Ye Jintang was lost in thought while Gu Wan'er happily walked into the inner room.

"My lady, guess how many people I found who can weave brocade."

"You look so happy, you must find two or three female workers."

"If there were two or three, I wouldn't come here so early in the morning to disturb your sweet dreams."

"Oh, then tell me quickly, how many people did you find in total?"
