Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

Yan Yao pointed at himself in surprise, "Me?"

He has always been a lazy young man and has never been involved in the family business.

"Yes, it's you!" Tian Youyou nodded affirmatively.

"Go to the recruitment office first and find out how much other people are paying. Then... we can pay the same as them, or five cents more."

“But we’re looking for people who know how to farm.”

Yan Yao nodded dazedly, "Oh, oh..."

"What are you still standing there for? Go do it now."

Yan Yao hesitated and took a few steps back...

Tian Youyou urged again, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you at the farm."

Yan Yao had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The steward of Jinxiu Manor led Tian Youyou to a courtyard and said, "This is where the master stays when someone comes."

"Girl, take a good rest."

He was about to leave when Tian Youyou stopped him.

"Manager, Qinzhou is a land of fish and rice, and also a land of mulberry and silkworms. I guess there are many mulberry and silkworm farms nearby, right?"

The steward stopped and answered truthfully, "Miss, all the farms around here are mulberry silk farms."

He sighed, "Now, many mulberry silkworm farms can no longer hold on and have been bought by their enemies."

"There are also some manors... whose mulberry trees are not good, and their enemies don't like them, so many of them are abandoned."

"I can't keep raising silkworms, and I can't sell them... Alas."

"If it weren't for the money from the Yan family, our Jinxiufang would have been abandoned."

"Once the village is abandoned, we workers...will have no way out."

Tian Youyou frowned, "Since the silkworm path is not feasible, why not try other paths?"

"Another way?" The steward scratched his head. "Young lady, are you talking about growing crops?"

"Growing grain is a solution, but there are many farms in Qinzhou that grow grain. Even if we switch to growing grain, we still can't compete with them."

What Tian Youyou said was really not about growing crops...

She was talking about the mulberry tree.

The mulberry tree is a treasure!

Its fruit is mulberry, which can be eaten directly as fruit, made into dried mulberry, soaked in mulberry wine, and made into mulberry vinegar.

Mulberry buds and young leaves with one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves can also be made into mulberry leaf tea.

The remaining mulberry leaves can still be used to raise silkworms, but the cocoons don’t necessarily have to be made into silk, they can also be made into silk quilts.

Even the pruned mulberry branches can be used as raw materials for making paper.

If the silk business is really not as good as that of the enemy, then it is better to find another way.

However, this plan still needs to be discussed with Yan Yao, after all, it is the Yan family's manor.

"Manager, do you know how many mulberry silkworm farms the Yan family has?" It is impossible that the Yan family only has this one mulberry silkworm farm.

The manager could only give a rough number, "About seven or eight, I don't know the exact number."

He is just the manager of this village.

Tian Youyou waved her hand and asked him to leave.

After the people left, she looked around the room. There was everything in the room.

She walked to the desk and sat down. On the desk were writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

She grinds ink, spreads paper...

Write down your plans.

The best time to pick mulberry leaf tea is at the end of October, preferably after the Frost Descent. It is too late now and you can only wait until next year.

Mulberries can be picked from April to June.

Silkworm breeding can be carried out from April to October.

Tian Youyou carefully reviewed the plan she had written and found it very feasible.

She couldn't sit still anymore, so she went to the mulberry field again.

"Girl, why are you in the fields again?" A silkworm farmer just came out of the silkworm room.

Tian Youyou walked towards her and asked, "Excuse me, what do the fruits of these mulberry trees taste like?"

Silkworm farmer: "Mulberry fruit is very sour and astringent. It is inedible."

Tian Youyou understood. She looked down and saw the basket carried by the silkworm farmer, filled with clean white cocoons.

"Can you give me a basket of silkworm cocoons?"

The silkworm farmer handed her the basket and said, "Here."

Tian Youyou took it and prepared to try to make a silk quilt herself.

After all, she had only seen the silk quilt-making process in short videos from that era.

I don’t know whether I can succeed or not.

Tian Youyou peeled off the floating silk on the outside of the cocoon, placed the white cocoon in a gauze bag, and then put it into water to slowly boil the cocoon.

After cooking, rinse it clean, then use a bamboo to make a bamboo bow, peel off the cocoons one by one, put them on, and when they reach a certain thickness, take them out, wash them carefully, and dry them in the sun.

Feeling that there were not enough silk cocoons, she asked for two more baskets.

They kept doing this until dark, when Yan Yao finally returned.

"How is it?" Tian Youyou asked.

Yan Yao: "We have recruited enough people, fifty, come tomorrow."

He looked at the silkworm baskets she had hung out to dry in the yard, very puzzled, "What is this?"

Tian Youyou's hands were so sore that they became stiff. She shook them gently and said, "You'll know tomorrow."

After doing all these things, Tian Youyou ate a simple meal and fell asleep out of exhaustion.

The next morning, I heard a commotion outside.

When I came out, it was Yan Yao.

He didn't know what Tian Youyou wanted these fifty workers for, so he simply led them all out of the yard.

Tian Youyou led everyone to the mulberry field with a headache.

Normally, mulberry trees should be pruned after their leaves fall naturally, but this was not done in the mulberry forest in Jinxiufang.

After winter, mulberry trees enter a dormant period and pruning can be carried out directly.

"You must remove all dead branches, withered stumps, diseased and insect-infested branches, and small branches from all mulberry trees."

"All cut branches must not be left on the ground and must be burned in batches."

The workers went to the warehouse to get pruning knives and began pruning according to Tian Youyou's requirements.

Tian Youyou was still thinking about the silkworm baskets drying in the yard.

After drying in the shade overnight, the silkworm pods should have dried.

Tian Youyou called Yan Yao, and also called the manager and a woman.

I found a piece of bamboo strips the size of a bed and set it up in the yard.

Tian Youyou cut the silkworm bag open, flattened it, and asked them to each pull a corner and try to pull with even force.

The silkworm bag slowly stretched out in their hands...

From the size of a piece of cloth, it was stretched to the size of a bed.

Everyone, like Tian Youyou, fixed a corner in their hand on the bamboo strips.

In this way, a silkworm bag was stretched open.

continue...

Layer by layer, everyone became more and more skilled, more and more in tune with each other, and more and more even, and the prototype of the silk quilt appeared.

At this time, Yan Yao finally understood what Tian Youyou wanted to do.

“Is this a quilt?”

Using silk to make a quilt? He had never heard of it before.

Silk has always been used to twist yarn and weave cloth to make clothes.

"Not bad." Tian Youyou agreed.

From time to time, she would check the thickness of the silk quilt, including the thickness in all directions, to make sure there were no uneven thicknesses.

After tearing open more than a hundred silkworm bags and reaching a certain thickness, they stopped.

Then, Tian Youyou handed the work over to the embroiderer.
