Chapter 199 Live Broadcast of Silk
After the silkworm cocoons are cooked, a very important step is reeling.
"To put it simply, reeling means pulling out silk. We need to find the 'thread' of each cocoon and pull out the silk."
While talking, Ai Moye had already pulled out the silk from the first cocoon, stretched it and fixed it on the homemade silk reeling machine.
This reeling machine is like a smaller version of a windmill. It is rotated by a hand crank, allowing the silk to be covered and stretched in circles until all the silk from the cocoon is pulled out.
Because it was a big process, both Mai Ma and Jiya came to help, each using a reeling machine to process the silk.
The live broadcast room did not reduce the popularity due to boring and repetitive steps. Instead, fans were extremely looking forward to seeing Ai Moye's finished silk products.
It took two full hours for the three of them to reel all the cocoons into silk.
Aimoye moved out the ancient loom that she had used before and started weaving silk live.
While weaving, Ai Moye explained.
"Through the live broadcast, everyone has also seen that no chemical materials are added to the silk fabric. The raw materials, the star beast silkworms, eat natural mulberry leaves, and the handicrafts are all made by hand. Silk is rich in protein fiber and breathable. Good performance, excellent moisture absorption capacity, green and healthy.”
When the first piece of silk fabric was displayed in the live broadcast room, fans were stunned.
[Oh my gosh, it looks so soft and thin, completely different from the chemical fiber material on my body! 】
[Is it because of light refraction? I always feel like there is a layer of luster flowing on the surface of the fabric? 】
[Whether it’s reflective or not, it’s really beautiful and has a slippery feel]
【I want it, I really want it! The anchor can set a price, or you can bid! 】
Fans continued to praise the silk cloth, and Aimoye also planned to put this unique silk cloth in the interstellar world up for online bidding.
But before that, the shortcomings of silk must be explained clearly.
"Silk cloth is soft, comfortable and very warm. Wearing it close to the body will give people a different experience. However, it also has shortcomings. The biggest drawback is that it wrinkles easily and cannot be machine washed, so it takes some effort to care for it."
After she finished speaking, fans were understanding.
[It’s purely natural, even if I’m told it’s machine washable, I can’t bear to part with it]
[I have no intention of making it into clothing material. If I can really get it, I can frame it as a famous painting and hang it on the wall for appreciation]
Ai Moye felt that this was not the case.
The first piece was quickly listed on the auction website, and after fierce competition, it was finally sold for one million star coins.
Mai Ma was so shocked by the price that he dislocated his jaw and said in disbelief, "It's just a one-meter-long piece of fabric, which is not enough to make a shirt. Even if it's natural silk, it won't cost a million stars, right?"
Jiya said, "Nowadays, some rich people are not short of money, but they are short of things that can symbolize their status."
Just think about it, is it not surprising that this is the first purely handmade natural silk fabric in the world?
Maybe the auctioneer will sell it at a higher price to some fool who has too much money to spend.
Ai Moye was also a little surprised, but she thought it was nothing strange.
In the interstellar era, the gap between the rich and the poor was beyond her imagination, especially the many families with supernatural powers. Regardless of their wealth and status, they were far ahead of ordinary people. It was impossible for everyone to be equal.
She looked at the account and the balance was scary.
After the trust center transferred 200,000 yuan to Maima's hometown account, Aimoye continued to make silk materials, but this time she did not plan to auction them, so she had to keep them for herself.
The little one in her belly will be born in a few months. As a mother, she must give her the gift she wants.
Baby clothes are made of silk.
At night, Aimoye was still making silk, and Dada curled up against her legs, sleeping soundly.
Jiya knocked on the door and came in, putting the milk next to her, "Are you still up so late?"
"One more thing, go to bed after you're done." Ai Moye arranged the thread carefully.
Jiya lazily leaned against the door and said, "Looking at your posture, you look quite motherly."
"Because, I only have him, and he only has me." Aimoye whispered.
In this strange time and space, only the little one in her belly has an inextricable and constant connection with her.
Jiya was silent for a while and then asked, "Have you thought carefully about your marriage to the marshal?"
Ai Moye nodded, "Uncle Di promised me that we will get divorced in a few years. When someone urges us to get married, he will say that he has a deep love for me and cannot love anyone else."
Jiya thought it was funny and frivolous, "Even though we may have to go through several marriages in our lives, you are too childish. Have you never thought about what if we can't get divorced smoothly due to another accident?"
Ai Moye put down what she was doing and caressed her bulging pregnant belly.
Various factors were intertwined, and she couldn't help thinking about those messy things.
Since she brought the little one in her belly into this world, at least she should give him a reasonable identity and not bear the title of "illegitimate child" and face a life full of ups and downs.
"Sister Jiya, I know you care about me, but I have thought about this matter very clearly." Aimoye put aside the turmoil in her heart and said with a smile, "I have sent invitations to you and Mai Ma. You have to come no matter what when the time comes.”
Jiya waved her hands coolly, "I'll see if I have time."
"It's okay if you don't have time. Remember to think of a way and bring Mai Ma with you."
"Okay, okay, go to bed early." Jiya closed the door and went out.
Ai Moye picked up the milk and took a sip, recalling Mrs. Emma's instructions before leaving.
The lady said that if she had any friends or relatives she wanted to invite, the royal family would send out wedding invitations as well.
The invitations are specially made and must be in line with the royal status, so they must be booked in advance and the list must be submitted as soon as possible.
Aimoye invited Jiya, Maima, and Warden Andrew.
In addition, those Zidao people were all interning in the military department at that time. Sooner or later, they would discover that her relationship with the marshal was unusual.
Instead of explaining it later, it is better to give them a small shock in advance.
In addition, Shan Delin, Master Huaimu, Su Qi and others will all become her few guests.
Stroking the smooth silk in her hands, Ai Moye sighed.
Why do I become more nervous and anxious as the wedding draws closer?
Ai Moye forced herself to calm down, turned off the light and went to sleep.
On the first day of winter vacation, Ai Moye slept until ten o'clock, and then went out holding her belly, looking sluggish as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Mai Ma had just returned from picking grapes from the orchard. When she saw this, she said, "Sister Ye Ye, if you are really tired, why not go to sleep for a while. I will wash the grapes and put them in your room."
"It's okay, I'll just wash my face with cold water. I have to collect the medicinal materials today and plant a new batch." Ai Moye yawned continuously, her eyes were sleepy, and her tone was as lazy as a Maine Coon cat that had been basked in the sun, both delicate and delicate. Lazy.
