Chapter 126: Infrastructure construction, very serious!
After Lin Shuang went back, Ye Qiqi went into the space to see the fruits he had planted before.
Four days outside is equivalent to half a month inside, and the seedlings have all grown out.
She now wishes these fruits would bear fruit immediately as she hasn't eaten them for a long time.
Ruyue was called by the witch doctor to the witch doctor's cave to help these two days, otherwise Ye Qiqi would like to exploit him, hahaha.
I want him to help me produce some fruits to eat.
At least it's a species that I know, so I won't be afraid of hurting the cubs when eating it.
Now I can only sigh at the fruits, which is of no use.
Ye Qiqi looked at the land to see if there was anything that needed to be taken care of.
After looking around and seeing nothing to take care of for the time being, I went to see the silkworms. The silkworm babies had already made cocoons.
After picking up a few and shaking them to make sure that the silkworms inside had finished spitting out all the silk threads, Ye Qiqi knew that there was more work to do!
If they waited two more days, perhaps these silkworms would break out of their cocoons. There were already enough silkworms now. Ye Qiqi didn't dare to imagine how many would come out if thousands of silkworms mated.
Hurry up!
Just leave about a hundred high-quality silk cocoons and wait for them to break out of their cocoons and mate, leaving behind the next generation.
Ye Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and worked hard, collecting all the cocoons into the basket. She then removed the cocoon skins and shook the basket to make sure that the silkworms inside had pupated before saving them for seeds.
After keeping them, Ye Qiqi put them on the shelf over there, waiting for them to break out of their cocoons, and put disposable degradable mats in advance.
This mat will not degrade automatically unless you take care of it yourself, so it is quite humane.
There was a whole basket full of cocoons, and Ye Qiqi was already patiently removing the silkworm skins.
After removing it, it has to be cooked, and after cooking, it has to be spun into threads.
It's still quite troublesome.
Ye Qiqi thought, let's make the silk quilt first, and as for clothes, we have to wait for the next batch.
My points are almost used up now. I had more than 2,700 points left before, but I recently bought some things and now I only have more than 1,300 points left.
Ye Qiqi didn't know why the points were so wasted.
Fortunately, you don’t have to use your points to buy lifespan yourself. Instead, once the points have been received, your lifespan will be automatically extended.
It's really thrilling.
Life is hard, just look forward.
Ye Qiqi sighed while working. It was nothing else but that when working, he would unconsciously get some of the work atmosphere.
I can't help but sigh.
Ye Qiqi was halfway through and saw that there was still half a frame left. He hadn't been out for a long time and felt a little hungry, so he planned to go out and eat something first.
You can't let the baby in your stomach starve.
Shi Ye came back at noon and saw Ye Qiqi coming out with a large basket of snow-white silk cocoons. He was still wondering what this was.
"Qiqi, what is this?"
"Silkworm cocoons! The silkworms we raised have grown up and are spinning silk!" Ye Qiqi couldn't help but share the joy in her heart.
I had heard about it a long time ago, but I never thought that the silk spun by those little insects would be so clean and white.
It was the first time he had seen it. It was indeed much more fun on land than under the deep sea.
Many people freeze to death in the deep sea during the winter because the water temperature drops suddenly, they can't make a fire underground, and there is no shelter on land. Many females become sick and die.
Shi Ye actually felt that the tribe was pretty good. If he went back during the New Year, he could ask the tribe leader to come here and merge with the Hound Tribe. In this way, fewer people would die in the winter.
But this needs to be discussed with the patriarch of the Hound Tribe, and he has to be willing to accept it.
These all need to be planned well.
Although Shi Ye didn't like the tribe, he had received favors from them, so if he could help his fellow tribesmen, he would be willing to do so.
"So they will only spin silk once?" Shi Ye looked at Ye Qiqi curiously. Otherwise, if they have already made cocoons, how will they get out later?
"Silkworms only live for four months, including the time it takes to molt and become discs. If I just cook them in a pot after I'm done with them, their lives will end immediately."
I also heard Ye Qiqi say this. I didn't quite understand it, but I could hear the hidden meaning.
In other words, these silkworms can only make a cocoon once, and after that they will die, and their lives will come to an end.
It seems a bit sad.
"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to feed the silkworms that you have been feeding for so long?" Ye Qiqi joked as she saw that he didn't seem very happy.
"No, Qiqi, I just felt a little emotional for a moment." Shi Ye came back to his senses, saw Ye Qiqi's teasing expression, and hurriedly explained.
He has passed the emotional stage and now he doesn't have a lot of ideas when he sees something.
"Well, let's cook first. What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you." Ye Qiqi was in a good mood today and wanted to cook.
But in the end, he was stopped by Shi Ye.
"Just wait for the food to come, I'll do it." Shi also wanted to say, he could just make whatever he wanted to eat, why should he ask her to do it?
Although Qiqi's belly is not noticeable, she is a pregnant woman, so how can she cook?
It would be fine if she was in charge of everything in the space, but this is outside, so she definitely cannot be allowed to do anything.
Seeing that he insisted, Ye Qiqi didn't care.
She continued to extract the silkworm skins, trying to clean them up before the evening.
After cooking, put it in a quiet space and think of a way to make it into a silk quilt.
In fact, since there is no cloth now, we can use animal skins as the outer layer of cloth.
There are many whole animal skins that are very large.
If it really doesn't work, just stitch two together.
Use local materials, it's not shabby.
Many animal skins are also very warm.
Just carefully identify it when the time comes.
When Ye Qiqi heard that females would be frozen to death in winter, she inexplicably felt that it would be very cold and she should make preparations in advance.
This will prevent you from having to find a solution when it gets freezing cold.
There is a difference between a prepared battle and an unprepared battle.
If there were cotton seeds, Ye Qiqi would also like to plant them.
But now I am in the dark, I want everything but have nothing.
But it's much better than when I first came here.
At least now many things are getting better.
Although you have to do it yourself, there is no free lunch in the world.
It's a pity that she is from the south and doesn't know how to make a kang, otherwise she would have made one for herself.
Now I am no longer afraid of the cold winter.
At that time, just close the windows and doors tightly so that the wind can't blow in, and everything will be perfect.
However, the tribe does not have the technology to make glass right now, so the only windows are wooden ones. As a result, air will probably still leak in during the winter, so we have to think of some solution.
Ye Qiqi felt that there were too many problems and she had to take one step at a time. Things would get better one day.
While handling silkworm cocoons with my hands, I was thinking about great ambitions.
Ye Qiqi felt that she came here to really do infrastructure construction.
Very serious!
