Little Ah Yu did not intend to let her Big Brothers ask how she had conjured the silkworm eggs.
Hence, she hurriedly said, âAlright, alright. Letâs go and see the silkworm babies first?â
Everyone arrived in another room. There were all kinds of cocoons inside.
Wang Wulang realized that the cocoons were actually all kinds of colors.
âArenât cocoons supposed to be white? Why are there yellow ones? This is purple, right? This is a little green. Whatâs going on?â Wang Wulang was very curious.
Previously, when he studied insect cocoons, the teacher had casually mentioned it in class. He had said. âThose dressed in brocade are not necessarily silk workers.â 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 cocoon, 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.
âIâm not sure either. It seems that the silkworm baby ate different things and had a different mood. So, the cocoon it forms is different,â Little Ah Yu explained seriously. âThe logic behind this is very complicated. Fifth Big Brother, youâve never raised a silkworm before. I canât explain it to you.â
Wang Wulang: ââ¦You just have to say it and Iâll understand.â
There was no reason for his sister to understand something that he did not.
Was she looking down on his brain?
Wang Qilang looked at the cocoons and was especially interested. âAre you going to hatch these cocoons? Will there be new silkworm babies in the future? Can you give me some? I want to raise them too.â
It looked very interesting.
âNext time. This time, I want to earn money with my other friends. These silkworm babies were all raised by them. I canât give them to you now.â 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 cocoons 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 documents and left their fingerprints on paper, just like the adults.
When Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang heard Little Ah Yuâs explanation, their hearts warmed.
âLittle Sister Ah Yu, we want to participate next time too!â
Hu Sanpang said, âBut we already have enough people raising cocoons. There are even an excess of people.â
âThatâs right. We still donât know if these cocoons can be sold. If they canât be sold, we can only play by ourselves. Arenât you still going to school? Do you have so much time?â Someone questioned.
Wang Liulang said, âDonât you have to go to school in the village too? Our time is the same. At most, weâll raise it in town and youâll raise it in the village. In the future, weâll sell it to the same cloth shop. You can also leave the cocoons with us first. When we accumulate more, weâll sell them together. Perhaps we can sell them for a better price.â
[Your Big Brothers are quite smart.] Meatbail could not help but admire how these bratsâ wild thoughts were quite accurate.
Little Ah Yu said, âOf course my brothers are the smartest!â
[Then who is the smartest between your brothers and me?]
Little Ah Yu replied without thinking, âElf is elf, and Big Brothers is Big Brothers. Among the elves, youâre the smartest. Among Big Brothers, theyâre all very smart.â
She could actually answer flawlessly.
Meatbail was impressed.
[Your brothers are right. If you want to use the cocoons to earn money, you can be a middleman. Your family will collect the cocoons and sell them together..]
