84 Colored Silkworm (1/2)

When Ouyang Shuo went online the next day, he thought of the gift that the Xuanniao tribe had given him. He had not opened it and had asked Wang Feng to place it in his office.

Walking into his office, that wooden box was unsurprisingly on his table. He opened the box and inside, there were actually 30 odd colorful silkworms lying on thick layers of leaves. The silkworms were vibrant colored. There were gold, purple, blue, orange, red and green colored worms. Each color had at least 2 silkworms.

This was a really special gift. These mutated silkworms could only appear in the deep mountains and being obtained by the mountain barbarians by luck could be considered a gift from nature.

Seeing these colorful silkworms, Ouyang Shuo thought of the <Silkworm Breeding Technology> that he had gotten during the siege of beasts. Now he could finally use it.

Not only that, with these colorful silkworms, the mulberry garden, textile mill, and garment workshop, he had a chain of production from silk to garment. Based on economists, this could be said to be an industrial chain.

Knowing how valuable the gift was, Ouyang Shuo wiped cold sweat off his forehead. In his heart, he blamed Shi Xiong for being too bold and not telling him what was inside the box.

If Ouyang Shuo wasn’t courteous and ask his men to take the gift in his stead, he might have placed it in his storage bag , these cute silkworm babies would have all died. Thankfully Wang Feng was meticulous and even after crossing the mountains and forests, those babies were still ok.

Ouyang Shuo couldn’t sit still and called for Mu Qingsi and the others into the meeting hall. Those attending the meeting, apart from the 3 directors, was the agriculture secretary Sun Yannong, resource secretary Du Xiaolan, mulberry garden manager Zhao Youde, textile mill manager Yingcui and the garment workshop manager Wu Ni.

Seeing such a big lineup, Zhao Youde and the other two, for whom this was their first time entering the lord's manor, felt perturbed. Zhao Youde was a little better off as he was one of the first 10 people in Shanhai Village from Zhao Village, as was his brother Zhao Youcai. For the past period of time there was no use for their talents. Now of the two brothers, one managed the mulberry garden, and the other managed the fruit farm.

The factory manager of the textile mill Yingcui was a 23 year old female and an advanced weaver. The manager of the garment workshop Wuni was a 25 year old female, intermediate tailor and was Mu Qingsi's main working partner.

Ouyang Shuo sat at the head chair and glanced at the 10 odd people in the meeting, where there were actually 5 women. No wonder how some people said that in Shanhai Town, women could manage half the sky.

”Big brother, why did you call us here this time?” In this kind of atmosphere, no one dared to casually talk to Ouyang Shuo, only that little brat Qing'er.

Ouyang Shuo didn’t bother about her, opening the wooden box and smiled, ”Take a look. What is this?”

”Ya, such cute baby silkworms. But, why are they so colorful? Qing'er remembered that they should be white!” Qing'er said and pointed at the baby silkworms.

Listening to her words, everyone else became very curious, and crowded around to take a look.

”Is this the colored silkworms of legends? I only read of them in old records but didn’t expect them to really exist.” Out of all these people Yingcui was most familiar with this, and thus had a little understanding.

”These colored silkworms, are the silk that they spit out really colorful?” Yingyu who had a business eye saw the value of these colored silkworms, asking eagerly.

”Colored silkworms spit out colored silk, but how it works I am not sure.” Yingcui said with uncertainty, after all they only existed in legends and no one have seen them before.

”I can confirm that they do indeed spit out colored silk of the same color as their body.” Ouyang Shuo said confidently.

Yingyu's eyes brightened, filled with thoughts.
