Chapter 24 Rare century-old silk
"Now let's talk about our problems."

Yu Yuyi dragged Tang San to a secluded corner, pointed to Tang San and then to himself, "I feel that you are in a bad mood, if you don't want to say it, let me do it. There is something wrong You can interrupt me anywhere."

After finishing speaking, she drooped her eyebrows and continued to speak.

"Tang San, you are very guilty. Is it because of what the doctor said about my unhealed injury?"

Tang San looked at Yu Yuyi silently, neither spoke nor interrupted.

"But I really didn't fall into a coma this time because of the injury at that time, I..."

"I just remembered some things, too many, and some of them would pass out after being frightened."

"What...?"

Tang San looked at the girl in front of him frowning, unwilling to think about it, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't think about it, if you are afraid, don't think about it."

"Actually, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm frightened by this fact."

Yu Yuyi pursed her lips, and the soft cheeks swelled up with her movements, "I don't know how to tell you, and I don't know whether I should tell you? But what I'm sure of is that I His coma has nothing to do with his injuries."

"Then you don't need to tell me, Yiyi, after you think it over, it doesn't matter if you tell me again."

Even though he was still a child, he already looked like an adult.

Thinking about it, Yu Yuyi gripped Tang San's hand a little tighter, "But, you will feel guilty, and you will still think that you owe me something. Obviously everyone is a close friend, you can't hold on to these things."

"...?"

"Even if it's not a close friend, but a friend, I will save you! Because you are still a child! You are still my father's apprentice!"

Tang San didn't know whether to laugh or cry, how could he tell this silly girl that he was not a pure child, if counting his previous life, he was probably much older than this naive and shy girl.

But Tang San also knew that these words were all for enlightening him, so naturally he wouldn't be ignorant.

So the originally depressed emotions were soothed by such nonsense excuses.

But Tang San who still wanted to see what else this little girl could say, said again: "What if I still feel guilty?"

"Then, if you promise me one thing, it's my reward for saving you."

"what's up?"

Tang San was a little curious.

"Work hard to become stronger." Yu Yuyi paused every word, "As long as you are strong, you will be able to solve such things in the future."

"There is no need to feel guilty now. Aren't we all fine? Grandpa Chen also said that as long as we sleep more these days, everything will be fine. I will be fine, and so will Dad. We have nothing to lose, right? ?”

"Okay." Tang San nodded, "I promise you."

It never occurred to him that the only thing the girl asked him to agree to was this.

Tang San knew how weak he was now, he really longed to become stronger, whether it was from the martial spirit of this world or the hidden weapons of his previous life, he would become stronger for himself and for those around him who he wanted to protect.

But now, besides his father who was still in Holy Soul Village, the people he wanted to protect were the teachers in the academy and the girl in front of him.
-
After unraveling Tang San's Yu Yuyi, he didn't take what he told Xiao Wu earlier to be true.

She dragged Tang San to the outside of the academy, and she was not in a hurry to settle for lunch, because Yu Yuyi knew that this kind of extra expense was a burden for Tang San.

Tang San can go to the blacksmith shop for dinner, and she just needs to wait a while and go back to the academy for dinner.

So at the first stop, Yu Yuyi led Tang San directly to the bedding shop that she had planned to come to yesterday.

There is no sign outside the store, only the wide open store door, looking inside to see the warm and thick quilts on display, can you know what the store is selling.

"Is Manager Hu here?"

As soon as he entered the store, Tang San felt that these displayed outside were ordinary cotton quilts, and further inside he could vaguely feel sporadic fluctuations of spirit power, entangled little by little like a net.

That is the fluctuation of the soul power of some kind of silkworm soul beast, which is also the specialty of this shop.

Speaking of silkworm soul beasts, this kind of soul beast is not rare, but it can't be considered too many. Almost all soul beasts are used as rations by other soul beasts in less than ten years. They are neither aggressive nor defensive.

The only advantage of this kind of soul beast population is that it lays many eggs.

And compared to ordinary silkworms, their advantage is that they can spit silk every month without reaching maturity.

Until almost ten years later, they will cut off their backs like lizards cut off their tails, desperately forming a thick cocoon for themselves to break through.

Those who cannot break through will turn into moths, mate and die within three days; those who break through will become silkworm soul beasts for ten years, and continue to spin silk and make cocoons year after year, day after day, and then escape from the cocoon. until the next breakthrough.

Therefore, when a soul master discovers that the silk vomited by this kind of soul beast is not harmful to humans, but can be woven directly into clothes and quilts without any danger, and when the output is good, this kind of soul beast will be killed. Those who need it are raised in captivity.

At the same time, because the silkworm soul beast is harmless, and it is almost mutually beneficial and needs each other with human beings, ordinary people can also raise it in captivity as a future income.

And the silkworm soul beasts have no aversion to the humans who snatch silk from their cocoons every month, but tend to have a good impression of those humans.

After all, sometimes they spun too much and they couldn't get out, and they would be trapped in the cocoon before they became ten-year soul beasts.

So since then, around the Silkworm Soul Beast, a huge industrial chain has also emerged:
There are soul masters who catch silkworms and sell them to silkworm farmers, ordinary people who raise silkworms to sell silk, and even traders who weave silk clothes and sell them in quilts...

The store that Yu Yuyi and the others entered is the largest and oldest silk quilt store in Notting City, and it has been open for almost a hundred years.

The silkworm soul beasts that have been passed down from generation to generation no longer know how many levels there are.

"Is Shopkeeper Hu there?"

Seeing that the shop was empty, Yu Yuyi raised her voice and shouted again.

"Come here," the hoarse female voice approached from far to near, "What kind of quilt do customers want? I dare not say anything else, as long as you want it in our store, there is no quilt that you can't buy..."

The woman who lifted the curtain hadn't finished speaking when she saw Yu Yuyi and frowned with a smile.

"Oh, it's Yiyi~ Then Yiyi also knows what's in my store, so just tell me."

The woman took a few steps forward and pressed Tieyu Yuyi's fat cheeks, "Sure enough, Yiyi is still so cute, if only my stupid sons were daughters."

"Well, Manager Hu, I'm going to be speechless." Yu Yuyi struggled a bit, and finally got rid of the manager Hu who sucked the baby.

Thinking about the bed that Yu Xiaogang bought for her, he said, "A quilt made of silk for ten years."

Ordinary silk quilts are already light and warm, but the silk of silkworm soul beasts is even worse. The silk of ten years old silkworm soul beasts can still achieve the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer, and the silk of one hundred years... is almost only supplied to those high-level nobles And the soul master sect.

"As expected of Yiyi, she really has vision."

Shopkeeper Hu smiled, and led them inside to a compartment filled with fabric mattresses.

"This is it, see which bed you want, and choose it yourself."

Yu Yuyi glanced at Tang San, wanting this little guy to choose by himself, but wondered if it was the first time he heard about using the silk of spirit beasts to make fabric quilts, Tang San didn't seem to have reacted yet.

Helpless, Yu Yuyi had no choice but to go forward and use the dust floating in the air to perceive the place with the strongest energy in this compartment.

One bed after another of bedding was touched by her, until Yu Yuyi stopped at the highest bed in the middle.

"This bed, the color looks more suitable."

The energy is also the most abundant, and it seems to be made of silk vomited by silkworm soul beasts that are nearly a hundred years old.

The shopkeeper Hu responded, turned out the ladder from the corner, and took down the silk quilt made of creamy yellow brocade cloth. He wanted to accept it cheaply, but Yiyi forced her to accept two at the usual price of silk quilts for ten years. Gintama coins.

As mentioned earlier, since ordinary people can raise silkworm soul beasts to reel silk and weave cloth, the price has naturally come down.

Silk quilts that are less than ten years old are about seventy or eighty copper soul coins, and some black shops sell them for a silver soul coin; silk quilts that are less than ten years old are a little more expensive in small shops, and large shops will reduce the price appropriately, but the price In the end, the floating is within the range of two or three Gintama coins.

However, it is limited to silkworm soul beasts that have been ten years or less than ten years old.

Because silkworm soul beasts are fragile and difficult to cultivate.

Therefore, silkworm soul beasts that can be cultivated for a hundred years are as rare as soul bones.

Not to mention that weaving it into mattress clothes has a better effect than warming in winter and cooling in summer. There are even rumors that the silk of the century-old silkworm soul beast can block ordinary swords and truly achieve invulnerability.

Therefore, the hundred-year-old silk fabric can be said to sell for hundreds of gold soul coins per foot, which is far more than that.

It can be said to be priceless.

Of course, the bed Yu Yuyi chose now, which is nearly a century old, is not invulnerable, but it is much better than those silkworm soul silks that have just arrived ten years ago.

 Privately set:
  ①Because the silk is spun by the soul beast, basically there is only one silk in a cocoon, and only one silk is needed for spinning, and the remaining hard shell is broken by the soul beast.There is no need to boil silkworms and mix them with chemicals like in contemporary times. No, if that is the case, the soul beast should have a vengeance.

  ②1 Golden Soul Coin=100 Silver Soul Coin=10000 Copper Soul Coin

  PS:
  The replacement between soul coins in the original novel: 1 gold soul coin = 10 silver soul coins = 100 copper soul coins; 1 gold soul coin can meet the three-month expenses of an ordinary family, when 1 gold soul coin = now 100 yuan, 100 yuan It’s a bit exaggerated as an exaggeration of the ancient March’s expenses, and it’s also mentioned that registering a soul master can almost get rid of the status of a work-student student. Is 100 a month enough for a poor household to become an ordinary household?Obviously not enough, let alone well-off.Later in the original article, it is mentioned that Oscar sausage is 5 copper soul coins, the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient, just treat Xiao Ao’s sausage as meat, a family for three months, 90 days, if only considering the daily food expenses, it is your own food If you grow it, you only need to buy meat. The average amortization is 5 copper soul coins per day, three months, 450 copper soul coins = 4 gold soul coins and 5 silver soul coins; it can also be said that ordinary families do not eat meat every day. One meal a day is at least more than 1 gold soul coin.Therefore, the financial conversion is unreasonable, so I added the settings myself.
