Chapter 55 Silkworm Eggs
Entering the bedroom, Shi Yue discovered that the bamboo bed was actually a fence built of bamboo, with two feet-long golden silkworms enclosed inside.
These two golden silkworms were plump and had a lot of fresh mulberry leaves under them, but they were lying lazily in the corner without any desire to eat.
"Junior Brother Shi, after my two golden silkworms ate some mulberry leaves infected with melanosis, they became like this. They haven't spun silk for several days, and they haven't eaten anything. I'm so worried. I've already followed
Others have agreed that if I don't hand in a certain amount of silk at the end of the month, I will face huge compensation, and I will ask Junior Brother Shi to help with diagnosis and treatment, and the remuneration will definitely not be short of Junior Brother." The middle-aged woman said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, Shi Yue nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior Sister Qian, can you report them so that I can check them carefully.
"No problem." The middle-aged woman agreed, walked forward quickly, and held the two golden silkworms in front of Shi Yue.
Shi Yue turned over two golden silkworms and found some black spots on their tails.
He stretched out two fingers and gently rubbed the area where the black spots were.
"Junior Brother Shi, I asked someone to come and see me before. They said that these black spots are toxins accumulated in the golden silkworm's body and need to be expelled. They prescribed several prescriptions and I gave them to the golden silkworm, but nothing happened.
It doesn't have much effect." The middle-aged woman explained.
After hearing this, Shi Yue nodded, pondered for a moment, and said to the middle-aged woman: "Senior Sister Qian, please bring a bowl of water."
Soon, the middle-aged woman poured a bowl of water and handed it to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the cork, poured out some light yellow liquid, and dripped into the bowl. This light yellow liquid was a diuretic powder. Because it was soaked with spiritual honey, the color was a bit yellow.
"Senior Sister Qian, feed this bowl of water to the two golden silkworms to see if the toxins can be discharged from the body." Shi Yue handed the bowl to the middle-aged woman and said.
The middle-aged woman nodded, took the porcelain bowl, and put the water mixed with urine-inducing powder into the golden silkworm's mouth.
"Junior Brother Shi, is this porcelain bottle of yours also filled with spiritual liquid that cures melanosis? Why does it taste different?" Chen Xing'er asked curiously.
"No, this is another kind of spiritual fluid that helps spiritual beasts excrete." Shi Yue shook his head and explained.
Soon, the two golden silkworms drank up all the water mixed with urine-inducing powder.
With two sounds of "Puff" and "Puff", two golden silkworms suddenly raised their buttocks, each ejecting a stream of yellow gas, exuding a fishy smell.
As soon as the middle-aged woman and Chen Xing'er smelled the gas, they walked away with disgusted faces, and Shi Yue also stepped aside.
After a while, the smell disappeared.
The two golden silkworms raised their buttocks and remained motionless.
Seeing this, Shi Yue turned their bodies over, and the black spots on the tails of the golden silkworms were still there.
His expression moved, and he pressed two fingers on the black spots on the tail of a golden silkworm, and rubbed it gently a few times.
With a "pop" sound, the golden silkworm's abdomen shrank, and a stream of black liquid spurted out from its butt.
Caught off guard, all the black liquid sprayed onto Shi Yue's face.
After the black liquid was sprayed out, the black spots on the tail of the golden silkworm disappeared.
Seeing this, Myolie Chen burst out laughing, but she quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Junior Brother Shi, I'm sorry, please wash your face first." The middle-aged woman brought a basin of water and said apologetically.
Shi Yue nodded, held some water in both hands, washed his face, and washed away the black liquid on his face.
Next, Shi Yue followed the same example, grabbed another golden silkworm, turned its body over, with its butt facing out, placed its index finger on the black spot on the tail, and rubbed it a few times.
With a "pop" sound, the golden silkworm's abdomen shrank, and a jet of black liquid spurted out from its butt.
"Senior Sister Qian, the toxins in the golden silkworms have been eliminated. Try feeding them mulberry leaves and see if they eat them." Shi Yue put down the golden silkworms in his hand and said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman nodded and carried the two golden silkworms back to the bamboo fence.
An astonishing scene appeared. Two golden silkworms began to eat mulberry leaves. A palm-sized mulberry leaf was quickly eaten by them.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman looked ecstatic and said gratefully: "Junior Brother Shi, thank you so much. Junior Brother is really a real person without showing his face! No wonder Junior Sister Chen praises you so much."
"Senior Sister Qian, where do I have it?" Chen Xing'er's cheeks turned red when she heard this.
After hearing this, Shi Yue chuckled. Then he remembered something and asked, "Senior Sister Qian, can the pair of golden silkworms you raise produce a lot of silk every month?"
"There are not many. If there is enough supply of mulberry leaves, they can spit out two or three kilograms of silk a month! They can sell dozens of spiritual stones." The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said.
When Shi Yue heard this, his face was a little moved.
"Junior Brother Shi, you don't want to raise a pair of golden silkworms, do you? I advise you to give up this idea! Senior Sister Qian has been raising this pair of golden silkworms for more than ten years and spent a lot of effort and spiritual stones to raise them.
This pair of golden silkworms started from the first level
After being trained to a high-level level, you can only spit out a few kilograms of silk every month. The initial investment is too much, so it is better to plant Linggu elixir." Chen Xing'er seemed to see what Shi Yue was thinking, and gave Shi Yue a meaningful look.
, he suggested.
"Yes! Junior Brother Shi, these golden silkworms have a huge appetite. They need to be fed a lot of fresh mulberry leaves in the early stage. In order to feed them, I planted forty or fifty mulberry trees, which are barely enough for them to eat." The middle-aged woman nodded.
echoed.
"Having said that, I still want to raise two. I wonder if Senior Sister Qian has golden silkworm eggs. I want to buy a pair of golden silkworm eggs from you." Shi Yue said seriously.
"Golden silkworm eggs? Well, my pair of golden silkworms just produced a pair of golden silkworm eggs not long ago. Let's give them to Junior Brother Shi!" After hearing this, the middle-aged woman pondered for a moment and said this.
After saying that, she turned over her hands and took out a cyan wooden box and handed it to Shi Yue.
"Thank you very much, Senior Sister Qian. These pairs of golden silkworm eggs can be used as my reward for treating golden silkworms!" Shi Yue accepted the cyan wooden box and said with a smile.
"No problem. Before hatching the golden silkworms, Junior Brother Shi, you need to plant some spiritual mulberry trees. The golden silkworms need to eat a lot of mulberry leaves to grow. Only the silk spewed by the golden silkworms of the first level and above can be used.
Come and refine weapons." The middle-aged woman nodded and suggested.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Qian, for your advice." Shi Yue nodded in thanks.
Next, Shi Yue chatted with the middle-aged woman and Myolie Chen for a few words, then said goodbye and left.
