"Achoo!" Mo Qiang covered her nose in time or else the seeds that she had collected from the mutated globe flowers would have scattered all over the room. She then looked down at the tiny seeds and heaved a sigh of relief. It took her six hours to extract these seeds; she was not going to let a single sneeze pour water over her hard work.
She patted her chest and sighed in relief, "Fortunately, fortunately these seeds did not scatter or else I will be done for."
After all, these seeds were not just seeds; these were actually silkworm eggs along with cotton seeds! Though Mo Qiang had no idea what kind of mutation these seeds went through to combine into one, she was going to separate the silkworm eggs and the cotton seeds.
While the eggs would go to the incubator, the cotton seeds would be grown along with the mulberry trees.
Though it would take a lot of time and effort, Mo Qiang was not in a hurry. She had read all about the history and the fierce passion that the people of this era had towards embroidery and silk.
Since that was the case, then Mo Qiang was going to make use of this opportunity to make a big sum of money. However, the problem was that she had no idea about embroidery or making silk from silkworms.
She in fact had no idea how to deal with cotton either.
Mo Qiang crossed her arms in front of her and looked at the Star Tube videos and pursed her lips. No matter how long she skimmed through them, she only got her hands on some stupid video on historical information and that too was incorrect!
Because she was sure that there was no way she was going to get silk from the silkworms if she was to boil them in lava. Who in hell boils the silkworms in lava? Were they sure that they were trying to make silk and not trying to do a rather bad cosplay of the King of the Underworld?
Mo Qiang ran a frustrated hand through her hair. "This won't do," she muttered as she tapped on the surface mouse and skimmed through the layer and layer of information.
There was nothing useful that she could use and Mo Qiang didn't want to grow cotton for no reason. Even if she grew it and it didn't come in handy, she was worried that the officials would cause trouble for her. She was quite certain that those people were waiting for her to make a mistake such that they could use it against her.
Her expression was solemn. If she wanted to make sure that Fu Beichou would stand next to her at the end, she would have to bring in some really good profits for this fief.
If she was not useful, then she would be abandoned without a hitch. Mo Qiang was not stupid enough to believe that the higher-ups would let her go just because she was of some use to them in the past.
When she was roaming around in the streets, joining one gang after another, she understood one rule very well. As long as you were useful, you would have a place in the world. The second you became useless, you would be abandoned.
Even the street goons learnt this when they were just novices. Those who brought a huge sum of money would be treated with chicken legs; those who brought less could only rely on bread and butter.
