Chapter 272
Li Chen thought about it again and again, and decided to wait half an hour before calling the sixth aunt.
After all, at Chen Ah Liu's age, it should be finished in half an hour.
But just as he was about to leave, suddenly the sixth aunt walked out of the room.
"Li Chen, why are you here? Don't say a word, we didn't know you were coming. After the sixth aunt saw Li Chen, she immediately said with a surprised look.
"Sixth Aunt, I just thought you were in the room..."
"You said this, it was my old man's waist hurt again, in the past he only hurt at night, but I didn't expect that it hurt during the day today, I asked him to endure it, and then put ointment on him at night." In this way, the plaster is not worried that it will fall off, and it is easy to fall off during the day. Sixth Aunt explained.
As soon as Li Chen heard this, he understood. It turned out that the conversation they had just had was because of this matter, and I almost thought that they were so fierce, and they were old, and they had to do business during the day.
"Is that sixth uncle feeling better? Does it matter?"
Chen Ah Liu is also helping Li Chen now, so Li Chen also asked with concern.
"Li Chen, don't worry, I won't get in the way of this matter, and it won't affect helping you dispose of chicken manure."
When Chen Ah Liu heard Li Chen say this, he was also worried that he would be fired because of this, so he immediately came out to explain.
Now the salary given by Li Chen can be described as very high, higher than that of a civil servant who is an official, so Chen Ah cherishes it very much, but he doesn't want to lose this job.
"It's okay, I'm worried that your body can't stand it, so I'll give you two days off and rest." Li Chen said.
"Thank you for your concern, I don't affect the treatment of chicken manure, after applying ointment, it won't hurt for half an hour." Chen Ah Liu said reassuringly.
"That's okay, you'll see for yourself. If your waist is uncomfortable today, you can clean it up tomorrow.
"That Li Chen, did you come to us for something?"
At this time, the sixth aunt remembered that it was Li Chen who came to their house, and then asked directly.
"Sixth aunt, this is the case, my silkworm breeding greenhouse has been built, and I plan to start the work of raising silkworms, so I want you to help find two women and let them be responsible for picking mulberry leaves in two days." Wages are still the old rules. Li Chen replied.
"This thing, simple, wrapped around me." The sixth aunt patted her chest and assured.
With the strength of the sixth aunt in Nanliu Village, Li Chen had nothing to worry about, thanked him, and then left.
After the problem of picking mulberry leaves was solved, Li Chen had to go to the most important part of sericulture, that is, buying silkworm seedlings.
This is also a technical work, because silkworm seedlings are divided into different ages, and the effect of silkworm cultivation at different ages is completely different.
Under normal circumstances, silkworms take about 25 days from birth to cocoon, and the industry is based on four days as one age, which means that there are a total of five instar silkworm seedlings, namely the first age silkworm, the second age silkworm, the third age silkworm, the fourth age silkworm, and the fifth age silkworm.
Silkworm seedlings from one to three instars are undoubtedly cheaper, but they are more difficult to raise because they are still too young, easy to get sick, and the survival rate is not high.
Therefore, Li Chen's idea is to directly raise the fourth-year-old silkworm, so that as long as it is raised for a few days, it can enter the spitting silk cocoon period of the five-year-old silkworm.
However, even raising four-year-old silkworms is not a 100% survival rate, and with the sericulture technology of this period in 1998, it is already good to achieve 80%.
But Li Chen can improve these survival rates through the memories of his previous life.
According to the memory of his previous life, Li Chen knew that a big factor in the fact that the survival rate of fourth-year-old silkworms was not high was because silkworm farmers did not know how to be flexible.
Each age of silkworm seedlings will undergo the phenomenon of molting, when the fourth age silkworm molt, the mouth will be very sensitive and soft, some silkworm farmers continue to feed them old mulberry leaves will cut their lips, and then lead to infection and death.
Therefore, as long as Li Chen feeds the tender mulberry leaves to the four-year-old silkworms when they molt, he can completely improve this problem and greatly improve the survival rate of silkworm seedlings.
Li Chen remembered that there were many people in the next door in the village of Tombshan who specialized in selling silkworm seedlings, and while it was still early, he planned to go over and ask them to send the silkworm seedlings over tomorrow morning.
So, Li Chen immediately went back and drove his motorcycle to Tombshan Village.
Regarding the origin of the name of Tomb Mountain Village, Li Chen heard his father say when he was a child, it was because this village was full of grave mountains in the past, and there were also tomb mountains around it, so it was called Tomb Mountain Village by outsiders.
Over the years, the name has gradually taken shape, and it has never changed.
But now there are not many graves, only houses.
Li Chen came to a silkworm farmer named Xie Wu, and then told him that he wanted to buy fourth-year-old silkworms.
"You are Li Chen? The person who made the news in Nanliu Village is you? Xie
Wu had also heard of Li Chen's name for a long time, after all, when Li Chen was on the TV news, the three villages and five caves in the vicinity were all talking about him.
"yes! That's me. Li Chen replied affirmatively.
"Amazing, you are really amazing, but you have won great glory for our farmers." But isn't it good that you raise hens to lay eggs and that black skin fir fungus? Why did you suddenly think of raising silkworms again? Xie Wu gave a thumbs up and said.
"I'm multifaceted and want to try everything." Li Chen smiled and then replied.
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow according to your needs, the price, and also give you the cheapest price in the market." But I can state that I can't be blamed for this if I raise it to death. Before, there was a guy who bought a fourth-year-old silkworm and raised a lot of them, but he came to me for theory. I can only assure you that the survival rate of the fourth instar silkworm is higher than that of the third instar silkworm, and I dare not guarantee that their survival rate is 100%.
"Don't worry, pay with one hand and deliver with the other, the goods are in my hands, and after you leave, I will definitely not blame you." Li Chen said.
"Okay, you sit first, I'll go buy some food, and have a few drinks with you tonight?" Your deeds are on the news, but I admire you. Xie Wu warmly invited Li Chen to stay for dinner and go back.
In the 1998 period, the peasants in the countryside were basically very hospitable and did not have too many complicated thoughts.
"Thank you for your warmth and kindness, but I won't eat dinner, I still have two little children at home, so I have to go back and take care of them." Wait for the next opportunity. Anyway, I plan to do sericulture business for a long time, and we have many opportunities for cooperation.
After Li Chen thanked each other, he and Xie Wu exchanged their contact information, and then took their leave.
Xie Wu admired Li Chen very much, so he personally sent him away before turning around.
After Li Chen returned to Nanliu Village, he met the sixth aunt again.
"Li Chen, I have already handled the matter of you telling me to find someone to pick mulberry leaves." The sixth aunt reported this matter to Li Chen as soon as possible.
"Sixth Aunt, what I told you before was two days later, and now my plan has changed, I have to let them come and pick mulberry leaves tomorrow, do you think this can be done?"
