I will plant a field in the last days

Chapter 249 Making Silk Mask

Jing Shu suddenly thought, isn't Zijin's specialty the handicraft industry?

If the weather in the first year of the apocalypse was hot and dry and lacked water, killing 90% of the plants, leading to famine later, then the second year of the apocalypse was marked by heavy rains and floods, destroying 70% of households and daily necessities, even though the government salvaged and remedied them. Some materials, but compared to various materials that cannot be recycled and are soaked and moldy, people's lives have fallen back to the primitive era since this year.

Therefore, in the third year of the end of the world, there was a shortage of cotton, linen clothes, and various materials. Because the temperature dropped, everyone needed more clothes and bedding. Therefore, when the earthquake started in the third year, everyone would take clothes off the dead.

Wear as much thick clothes as you can. In order to keep out the cold, most of them wear nondescript clothes.

Jingshu would wash the clothes taken off by the dead and give them to Zijin. Zijin would take apart the seams and weave them into warm, thick clothes. Only then did Jingshu know that Zijin’s family was poor when she was a child, so he picked her up and brought her home. Her grandmother raised silkworms and stripped them of silk to make handmade clothes, and she learned this craft.

Zijin said that she had no surname because her biological parents abandoned her. If she had to take the surname of a relative, then she would take her grandma's surname of Ali. The name Zijin was given by her childhood sweetheart. After her grandma passed away, She only has a first name and no surname.

Hearing what Jing Shu said, Zijin showed a look of realization, "That should be me. Everyone in the family home knows that I am good at craftsmanship. I have been doing this job since I was a child and am very familiar with it. Thank you for your help today. , if there is anything you need to do, I will do it for you.”

As she said this, she saw the red worms on Zijin's head slipping onto the bridge of her nose and getting into her nostrils. Zijin skillfully pulled out the red worms and flexibly wrapped the red worms around a tight knot with her fingers before flicking them out. It's as smooth as picking a booger, rolling it into a ball, and then popping it out.

Fortunately, Zijin had a cute baby face that was born with baby fat. If he had an uncle face, Jingshu might be able to kick him away.

Jing Shu showed a subtle expression. Sure enough, she still couldn't accept Zi Jin like this!

It seems necessary to implement a renovation plan.

Zijin is a person with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and insecurity. If someone suddenly treats her well, she will definitely be wary of Jingshu. But even if she is a normal stranger, if you suddenly treat her well, , most people are wary.

The first step in the transformation plan is to dislike her. You have to dislike her very much so that she will think that you are a normal person and you did not approach her intentionally.

"You are too dirty all over your body. Even if I want you to help me, what will you do if the red worms all over your body jump into my silk? Isn't this a disservice?"

Zijin bit her lip and lowered her head. This person clearly didn't care about this just now, so she almost forgot about it. She said how could someone not care about this.

The second step of the transformation plan is not to look at her pitifully and show charity, thereby lowering the standard of employment. Instead, we need just such a person, and strengthen the requirements to make her think that it is her own ability that gets the job and not anything else.

"In this way, I originally needed to find a craftsman, and I just helped you by the way. If you really want to repay the favor, clean yourself up and help me make some facial masks from silkworm cocoons. Let me see your handiwork. Speed ​​and technology.

If it goes well, I can consider hiring someone to cook cocoons and open cotton in the future, and even make some silk quilts and clothes. However, I have more requirements. If I can only make two or three kilograms of cocoons a day, I will Don't want it. As for the salary, it also depends on your skills. In short, it starts from 4 virtual coins per day. "

In Jingshu’s space, there are still some silkworm cocoons from last year. Because they were small in number, they couldn’t do much, so they kept them.

I just took it out today to make some silk masks. Although she doesn’t need to apply a mask, Su Mary, the money-giving boy, said in the circle of friends that the stock of facial masks has been used up. If you want a mask at a high price, she also added: as long as it is pure natural and non-toxic. The hormone-added silk mask has wiped out 90% of the remaining facial masks on the market.

Silk protein contains 18 kinds of amino acids that are of great nutritional value to the human body. It has good breathability and excellent water absorption. It is even used in surgical wound dressings and burn wound dressings to help with wound healing and is known as artificial skin.

In addition to facial masks, Jingshu also plans to develop this industry. After all, people who can afford surgery now will probably be happy to use this silk mask to cover wounds.

"4, 4 virtual coins?" Zijin was a little surprised. This was almost catching up with civil servants. What on earth is this person in front of him going to do? Are there so many silkworms in her house? It's not easy to raise silkworms nowadays. What does this person in front of me do?

Zijin kept looking at Jingshu. It seemed that this man had just given Captain Li a bottle of liquor. I heard that there seemed to be a snake at home? He should be someone who is not short of money.

"Why are you excited? I haven't seen your craftsmanship yet. Just tell me whether you can do this job and whether it can meet my requirements." Jing Shu rolled her eyes.

Well, it's the attitude of rich people.

Zijin bit his lip again, feeling a little regretful: "I also want to clean myself up, but the plastic raincoat issued by the government always has water seeping in, and countless red threadworms will get wrapped around me, and I have no salt to wash my hair. Silkworm cocoons are more likely to attract red worms, and I'm afraid they will be covered with bugs. So I'm afraid I can't help you. If you need help with anything else, I will definitely help."

"In this way, my home is in the villa area. There is a salt water pool at the door. I will take you to wash your hair. You can make the silk mask first and then talk about other things."

Jingshu took Zijin to soak in the salt pond in front of her house for a long time. Zijin's hair, which had been left for more than ten years, had reached her ankles. You can imagine how many red worms were stuck on it. Every time Zijin walked, It was walking like a moving python.

There are not only red worms, but also red worm droppings and eggs.

In short, Jingshu poured a few more bags of salt into the pool to change the water. It took half an hour to clean up all the garbage on her body. Jingshu took a breath and said, "Here, a waterproof rain hat, put it on Tie up your hair and wear it tightly."

Zijin embarrassedly put her finally washed hair up and wrapped it in a waterproof cap. She felt totally uplifted. If she had had this thing, why would she have been disliked by others for three months!

Jingshu set up various shelves and things under the shed at the entrance of the villa, and Zijin started her performance.

"Put the cocoons in a container and boil them so that the silk can be degreased without turning them over. Boiling the cocoons is very particular. If the cocoons are too rotten, the mask will not be strong for a lifetime. If they are too raw, there will be lumps." Zi Jin skillfully fished out the cocoons. Come on, start pulling out the cocoons.
