When the carefully cultivated seeds break through the soil and sprout tender green shoots, the joy is indescribable.

They squatted one by one by the field, looking at the seedlings that had just emerged.

"It's grown already? It's so small."

"Will we be able to eat it later?"

"Look, that one is bigger, juicy and tender."

.......

"Zhengting, go and take a look with them."

"Yes, sir."

The person Yu Wu was talking about was none other than the former direct grandson of the Mo family, Mo Zhengting, who was only ten years old.

It's been a while since my family sent him here, but he's still young and doesn't understand the family's arrangements. It's hard not to feel sad.

Yu Wu was particularly sympathetic to him and brought him with him to teach him carefully.

"Zhengting, come quickly and take a look at the land I planted. It's growing well."

Meng Jinxing waved at him from a distance.

"Don't go to Zhengting. Look at the land there, it's all patchy and lumpy. It's definitely not as good as mine."

Xu Huai stopped him halfway and looked down on Meng Jinxing again.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, people from their respective camps hurriedly pulled them apart and just said, "Look at Miaoya."

"Not only are the children happy to see this, I'm also very happy to see this. This is the first time I've ever farmed in my life."

Several adults were also walking around their respective fields, liking them no matter how they looked at them.

Each and every one of them seemed as if the crops would ripen immediately, and it was a good harvest.

The days passed by in everyone's expectations, peaceful yet chaotic.

At the end of April, the village was busy again because the silkworms were ripe.

As the village textile workshop was completed this year, these silk cocoons will not be sold this year. Villagers also raise a lot of silkworms, so recently every family has helped each other to select mature silkworms.

The children in the school are not idle either. They have to spend an hour every day helping each family.

It's really difficult for them. These soft silkworm bodies are placed densely together, which makes their scalps tingle just by looking at them.

They should also be allowed to catch the silkworms with their hands, and not apply perfume or powder, which would harm the silkworms.

Their expressions at this moment are like they want to cry but have no tears.

The villagers taught them how to identify mature silkworms, which must be translucent, as these silkworms can weave cocoons.

Pick them out and place them on the grass dragon made of wheat straw, then spread them out and sprinkle them lightly.

Everyone endured the discomfort and used all their strength to pull against their own people.

Everyone used two fingers to pinch gently, keeping it as far away as possible.

The villagers looked at this and all of them were trying not to laugh. It really wasn't easy for these children.

After selecting these mature silkworms, it is a process of waiting. In about three days, these silkworms will finish spinning silk.

As the oval white cocoons take shape, the silkworms have completed their mission.

After weaving these white cocoons, tearing off the loose silk and picking out the bad cocoons, they are sent directly to the weaving workshop for processing, where there are the master craftsmen found by Xu Minglang.

Many people have never seen these things, and they go there every day as a new experience to relieve boredom.

Soaking, penetration, steaming, adjustment, etc., each step must be checked by a master craftsman. Even the length of time and temperature can affect the quality of the silk.

Most of these silks were used to make thread for weaving cloth, and some were used to make quilts. In the Great Xia Dynasty, silk quilts were something only the nobility could use.

I picked some more limes and used them to wrap around my fan. This is all thanks to Doubaba, as many things have benefited from its spread.

The silk weaving workshop finally started to operate busily, and the villagers felt more alive. This was the workshop they had invested in!

The silk weaving workshop had two managers, one was Tan Yueya, who was in charge of accessories and silk threads, and the other was a master craftsman recommended by the Xu family, who was in charge of silk drawing, twisting, weaving and dyeing.

As for takeout, they don’t have to worry about it, Xu Minglang has made the arrangements.

Qing Ning saw that the silkworm pupae were all plump and tender, so he filled a bamboo basket with them and asked someone to help carry them back.

Although they were puzzled, they did not ask too many questions. After all, the lemon had its uses.

Carrying so many things attracted a lot of people's attention, and they were all wondering what new things Qing Ning might have come up with.

After arriving home, Qing Ning was not polite and directed people to clean the pot.

Blanch the fish for two or three minutes and then take them out immediately. Then prepare the side dishes for cooking.

The people who came back with her were horrified to see her like this. Qing Ning was crazy and wanted to eat silkworm pupae. It was unbearable to think about it.

"Go quickly, go quickly, call Aunt Tan and the others back, Qing Ning is possessed by demons."

Someone was sent to call for help to stop Qing Ning, while the other two were left to keep a close eye on her, fearing that she might lose control and eat it.

Qing Ning didn't pay attention and was instructing the person who was cooking to pay attention to the heat.

Heat oil in a wok, add onion, ginger, garlic, dried pepper, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add silkworm pupae and stir-fry until the moisture is dry. Then spray with cooking wine, add soy sauce, a little sugar, and salt, and stir-fry evenly until the pupae are cooked through.

Before serving, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions on it and place it on a plate.

“Mm, it smells so good!”

I couldn't wait to pinch one and put it in my mouth. It was so delicious.

"Spit it out quickly, this thing is not good to eat."

The person who looked at him immediately stepped forward, not knowing where to start, and just wanted her to vomit.

Qing Ning swallowed it slowly, and the man became even more anxious, almost reaching out to pick her mouth.

Qing Ning quickly stepped aside and asked anxiously, "Oh, uncle, what are you doing?"

The man called cousin hurriedly said, "Don't you have anything to eat? You ate this too! Spit it out quickly or you'll get an upset stomach."

Qing Ning laughed after hearing this, "Uncle, these silkworm pupae are edible, and they are really good stuff. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Ma later."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, she had to bring up Mr. Ma.

The man had a look of disgust on his face. No matter what he thought, he didn't want to eat it anyway.

Qing Ning took advantage of him not noticing and picked one up with her hand, stuffed it into his mouth, covered it tightly with her hand, and said, "Uncle, try one, try one, it's delicious, really delicious."

Chen Feng was caught off guard and was ambushed by the girl. He wanted to vomit but couldn't. He didn't dare to use force for fear that the girl would fall.

I was forced to chew a few bites, and the more I chewed, the faster my eyes lit up. "Well, it's not what I imagined. It tastes really good."

"Yeah, I was just saying it tastes good. It's stir-fried, and you can deep-fry it, grill it, and they're all delicious. There are other ways to prepare it, too."

Once you get recognition, Qingning can’t stop talking about it.

Then he called the pot cook to come and eat some, "Uncle Mudou, you should try it too."

Chen Mudou was not polite. When he first started cooking, the aroma went straight into his nose.

"It's delicious. It tastes great. I can eat a whole plate of it with some wine."

When the person who called came back, he saw three people sitting outside the kitchen, eating silkworm pupae.

"Qing Ning, you are not kind. You had something delicious but you didn't invite me."

How could Xu Pu tolerate this? He didn't care what it looked like, as long as it was made with lime, it would taste good.

He went forward, found a place, and picked up some to eat.

“It’s so delicious and fragrant.”

The others looked disgusted, and they must be going crazy with hunger.

Tan was afraid that eating too much would make her sick, so she said cautiously, "Eat less. Aren't you afraid of making her sick if she eats too much?"

"No, Mom, this is good stuff, you should all try it."

Qingning invited them to share the delicious food, but they were so scared that they stepped back, saying, "No need, really no need."

Despite their resistance, Qing Ning did not force them, and simply said that they were not lucky enough to have the food.

The four of them quickly finished the whole plate, but Xu Pu still felt a little unsatisfied.

"This lime one is so delicious, I can't get enough of it."

"I'll try another recipe later. This stuff is rich in protein and a variety of amino acids. It's a premium nutritional supplement for the weak, those recovering from illness, the elderly, and women after childbirth. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, nourishing the lungs and promoting fluid production, and lowering blood lipids."

Qingning said a lot of things, and they understood the latter part, but as for the protein and acid in the front, they didn't understand what they were.

But I think it’s not a bad thing. After hearing that it has such good nutrition, those who didn’t eat it actually feel a little regretful.
