Liu Family Mansion. Agarwood served dishes and brought a bottle of wine.
"Everyone, please sit at the table, Da Chuan, call Wen Bo and Aunt Wen to come." Shi Yu ordered.
"Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, Madam told you to all sit at the table." Qin Dachuan called for someone in the back hall.
"Mom, I want to sit too." Zhengqing, who was almost seven years old, ran up to Shi Yu, raised his hands, and sat at the table.
"Slow down, everyone hasn't come yet, wait until you have all come before you sit." Shiyu bent down and kissed Zhengqing. Wenbo and Wenma are here, Chenxiang brought the last dish: stewed chicken with mushrooms. Everyone sat around the table.
"Those who are sitting today are my family. The two old couples of Wenbo are my elders, and Dachuan and Chenxiang are my younger siblings. From now on, we will be in the same boat and depend on each other. , To make a good start for our sericulture, please pour wine and toast!" Shi Yu said affectionately. Agarwood filled everyone with wine, and raised their glasses and toasts together.
"Madam," Qin Dachuan poured wine for himself and Shiyu, and said as he walked to Shiyu's side, "Thank you, Madam, for taking me in. First of all, let me make a toast to Madam."
"Dachuan, from today onwards, you are my brother. You are not called'madam' but'sister'." Shiyu looked at Dachuan and said.
"Well," Qin Dachuan changed his mouth and said, "Sister, elder sister, when I was in distress, you took me in, and you were also called siblings. You are my great benefactor, and I will hit wherever you point in the future. Report to the death!"
"Brother Dachuan, you are here to rain in time, and to send charcoal in the snow. In the future, we will all rely on your decision to grow mulberry and silkworms!" Shi Yu said.
"Do your best and never slack off!" Dachuan said with determination.
"Brother Dachuan," Chen Xiang stood up and said to Dachuan with a smile: "You are my savior. I will offer you a cup of flowers by offering the Buddha."
"Sister Chenxiang, that's what I should be. For me, it's just a matter of hand, don't be a benefactor." He said, drinking from a toast.
"Dachuan, if we plant ten acres of mulberry, how much investment is needed?" Shiyu asked.
"Ten acres of mulberry garden?" Da Chuan said slowly while thinking, "One acre of mulberry, two batches of silkworms in spring and autumn, can raise 1.2 silkworm seeds, and 10 acres can raise more than ten silkworm seeds, one silkworm seed It takes tens of square meters of silkworm house, and several hundred square meters of silkworm house for more than ten silkworm eggs. The sum of the silkworm eggs, mulberry seedlings, silkworm house, and labor may not be less than 5,000 yuan.
"Five thousand yuan? Zongde gave me one thousand yuan, and my own private money is almost one thousand yuan, which is still three thousand yuan!" Shigure calculated.
"Sister, did you plant less and raise less at the beginning, and then expand after earning money?" Chen Xiang suggested.
"No, ten acres will be planted if there are ten acres, and we will expand it in the future." Shiyu thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's go to Jiujiang and get some money at Zongde.
