Little Ah Yu did not intend to let her Big Brothers ask how she had conjured the silkworm eggs.
Hence, she hurriedly said, “Alright, alright. Let’s go and see the silkworm babies first?”
Everyone arrived in another room. There were all kinds of coc.o.o.ns inside.
w.a.n.g Wulang realized that the coc.o.o.ns were actually all kinds of colors.
“Aren’t coc.o.o.ns supposed to be white? Why are there yellow ones? This is purple, right? This is a little green. What’s going on?” w.a.n.g Wulang was very curious.
Previously, when he studied insect coc.o.o.ns, the teacher had casually mentioned it in cla.s.s. He had said. “Those dressed in brocade are not necessarily silk workers.” This probably referred to the difficulties of silkworm farmers.
As for how the silkworms came about, the teacher did not say much.
Now that they saw a real coc.o.o.n, they were quite curious.
The village did not have everything. For example, their village did not have many such silkworms and mulberry trees.
They had never even heard of it.
“I’m not sure either. It seems that the silkworm baby ate different things and had a different mood. So, the coc.o.o.n it forms is different,” Little Ah Yu explained seriously. “The logic behind this is very complicated. Fifth Big Brother, you’ve never raised a silkworm before. I can’t explain it to you.”
w.a.n.g Wulang: “…You just have to say it and I’ll understand.”
There was no reason for his sister to understand something that he did not.
Was she looking down on his brain?
w.a.n.g Qilang looked at the coc.o.o.ns and was especially interested. “Are you going to hatch these coc.o.o.ns? Will there be new silkworm babies in the future? Can you give me some? I want to raise them too.”
It looked very interesting.
“Next time. This time, I want to earn money with my other friends. These silkworm babies were all raised by them. I can’t give them to you now.” Little Ah Yu was a very principled person. These silkworm babies were raised by her friends in the village. When the time came, she would only take a small portion of the money from the silkworm coc.o.o.ns sold. She had to leave more for her friends.
Previously, she had said that she would bring her friends to earn money.
She was in charge of selling the items, and her friends were in charge of raising the silkworms. They had even signed the doc.u.ments and left their fingerprints on paper, just like the adults.
When w.a.n.g Liulang and w.a.n.g Qilang heard Little Ah Yu’s explanation, their hearts warmed.
“Little Sister Ah Yu, we want to partic.i.p.ate next time too!”
Hu Sanpang said, “But we already have enough people raising coc.o.o.ns. There are even an excess of people.”
“That’s right. We still don’t know if these coc.o.o.ns can be sold. If they can’t be sold, we can only play by ourselves. Aren’t you still going to school? Do you have so much time?” Someone questioned.
w.a.n.g Liulang said, “Don’t you have to go to school in the village too? Our time is the same. At most, we’ll raise it in town and you’ll raise it in the village. In the future, we’ll sell it to the same cloth shop. You can also leave the coc.o.o.ns with us first. When we acc.u.mulate more, we’ll sell them together. Perhaps we can sell them for a better price.”
[Your Big Brothers are quite smart.] Meatbail could not help but admire how these brats’ wild thoughts were quite accurate.
Little Ah Yu said, “Of course my brothers are the smartest!”
[Then who is the smartest between your brothers and me?]
Little Ah Yu replied without thinking, “Elf is elf, and Big Brothers is Big Brothers. Among the elves, you’re the smartest. Among Big Brothers, they’re all very smart.”
She could actually answer flawlessly.
Meatbail was impressed.
[Your brothers are right. If you want to use the coc.o.o.ns to earn money, you can be a middleman. Your family will collect the coc.o.o.ns and sell them together..]
