Chapter 226 Spinning Silk Elsewhere
Cui Hongyue saw that Lin Xi hadn't spoken for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she asked, "Boss?"
Lin Xi returned to his country and said, "You go back first tonight. I'll stay here all night."
"This is inconvenient. I can't sleep well and it's hot at night." Cui Hongyue subconsciously wanted to refuse.
In fact, the accommodation that Lin Xi prepared for them was not bad, but compared with Lin Xi's own residence, it was very different.
In the evening, Youlan came to bring food to Linxi and accompanied Linxi.
"Madam, what's so good about these silkworms?" Youlan was a little surprised to see Lin Xi holding a candle and observing the silkworms.
"Youlan, have you ever raised silkworms?" Lin Xi suddenly asked.
Youlan answered honestly, "Yes, we did. In the past, our family would let us raise silkworms and then sell the silkworm feces."
"What do you do with the silkworms after they make cocoons?" Lin Xi asked again.
Youlan tilted her head and thought for a while, "Just spread some straw on them so they have a place to make cocoons, and then throw them into the mountains."
It’s like returning to nature, Lin Xi thought.
"But once again, I threw the silkworm onto the big wooden board in my house, and it spit out silk everywhere," said Youlan.
Silk, wood board.
Lin Xi's mind suddenly lit up with inspiration, as if some key point was suddenly opened up, and she understood it in an instant.
"I see!"
Youlan was stunned. Looking at Lin Xi's excited expression, she was really confused. What happened to the lady?
After finally figuring out the most crucial link, Lin Xi was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, she went straight to Cui Hongyue's door and waited for her to come out.
Lin Xi had never felt so excited. A perfect method was in front of her and she couldn't wait to try it out.
Cui Hongyue came out and suddenly saw Lin Xi. She was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Boss, is there something wrong with the silkworm house?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "No, go pick me some silkworms that need to spin silk, and find me a flat wooden board."
Cui Hongyue: “?”
According to Lin Xi's request, Cui Hongyue found silkworms and wooden boards even though she didn't understand.
Lin Xi put the silkworms on a wooden board and let them move freely.
Cui Hongyue was a little puzzled. "Boss, these silkworms are about to start spinning cocoons. Shouldn't they be placed in the grid?"
Lin Xi said, "That's the conventional method. I now have a newer idea, but I don't know if it will work."
Cui Hongyue didn't understand what was going on and could only follow Lin Xi and watch here.
In the evening, the silkworms begin to spin silk.
Unable to find a support point, the silkworms spit silk directly onto the wooden board.
Lin Xi was very excited, "It is indeed the case!"
But Cui Hongyue was even more confused.
"You don't understand, right? You see, these silkworms have no support point to spin cocoons, so they can only spit silk directly onto the wooden board. In this way, all the silk will be attached to the wooden board and can be used directly." Lin Xi said.
Cui Hongyue finally understood, "That means we don't have to work so hard to stretch the silk in the future?"
"Almost." Lin Xi said excitedly.
For her, the flat-plate silk has a more important meaning, which is the anti-theft function.
People in the factory cannot see silk, so they naturally would not associate the presence of silk in the raw materials of Xuan paper. Even if someone deliberately leaked the information, it would not really have any impact.
But soon, Lin Xi discovered that making flat silk was a very challenging job.
Because these silkworms will excrete directly on the flat plate, someone must clean up the excrement in time, otherwise the silk will be contaminated.
It seems that someone needs to stand guard at the side all the time.
However, this problem is not difficult to solve. Now Cui Hongyue and Xue Lili are both concentrating on staying in the silkworm house.
Moreover, their children have also started to work in the silkworm house, so we can just leave it to them in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. I..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Xi felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
Youlan was standing behind Lin Xi, and she quickly supported Lin Xi.
Cui Hongyue hurriedly said, "Hurry up and help him back. I'll go inform Xiao Yongyan."
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes. She found herself in an inn for some reason, with everyone surrounding her bed.
"What are you all doing around me?"
Lin Xi asked, especially since Xiao Yongyan's face didn't look very good, as if he was... angry?
It was she who fell down, why was he so angry?
"You go out first." Xiao Yongyan said coldly.
Wang Jing felt very aggrieved, but still went out obediently.
Lin Xi found it really strange. Normally at this time, Wang Jing's reaction would most likely be to quarrel with Xiao Yongyan. Why was he so obedient today and went out when he was told to?
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xi asked.
The next moment, Xiao Yongyan just stared at her, his gaze seemed to burn a hole in her body.
She didn't do anything, she even fainted before.
Oh, right, faint.
"Why am I in an inn? Where is this place?" Lin Xi asked quickly.
Xiao Yongyan sighed and said, "You still asked. I thought you didn't care about your health at all."
Lin Xi disagreed with this, "The body is the capital of revolution, how can I not agree!"
Health comes first. Without health, everything else is useless. Lin Xi is very clear about this.
"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan's expression softened a bit, "You have been too busy and exhausted recently, so you fainted."
When Lin Xi heard this, she immediately felt relieved. Seeing Xiao Yongyan's expression just now, she thought she was suffering from a terminal illness.
"I'm just tired, it's not a big deal. I'll just have a good rest." Lin Xi didn't care.
The paper mill had just been built and there were many things waiting for her to deal with.
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to get out of bed, but was immediately pushed back by Xiao Yongyan, "Don't worry about the paper mill for now, Wang Jing will take over."
Lin Xi was stunned. What did Xiao Yongyan mean by this?
"You want me to be a housewife! I tell you, I will never agree to it!" Lin Xi said angrily. She is a career-oriented woman and cannot accept being a housewife.
"Xier, you are pregnant." Xiao Yongyan had no choice but to say it out loud.
When Lin Xi heard this, he was stunned.
Is she pregnant?
Is there already a little life living in her body?
The point is, she didn't feel anything at all.
"How could this be? Isn't it said that in the early stages of pregnancy, one will feel nauseous and retching? I didn't react at all." Lin Xi muttered to herself.
"The doctor said that not everyone will be like this. Some people have obvious reactions, while others have no reaction at all." Xiao Yongyan sighed, "It's my fault. I have been busy with my own affairs during this period and have not paid attention to your health."
Lin Xi still found it unbelievable. This child was totally out of her plan and suddenly jumped in front of her.
She didn't even know how to face it.
