Chapter 75: Silk Stockings Manufacturing Industry

Robb stood at the door of the spider room and looked inside. He saw four large spiders still chained to iron pillars. Around one of the big spiders, numerous eggs were scattered, and the eggs were covered with spider silk. All well protected.

The big spider that laid eggs had a shriveled belly and seemed to have lost a lot of energy.

Robb said with tears and laughter, “Did this happen today?"

Lillian and the four middle-aged women who had been invited to help weave and sew socks hid in the distance, poking their heads inside in fear, and nodded when they heard Robb's question. "Yes, it wasn't like that yesterday."

One woman said, "No wonder this big spider was not willing to spin silk yesterday. It was about to lay eggs."

"This is really scary." Lillian said, "we can still raise them a few dozen eggs, but we can't care for all of them, master. It seems that we can only get rid of more than half of the eggs and leave only a small part of them. Otherwise, if these hundreds of eggs hatch simultaneously, little spiders will run all over the ground. Disgusting."

Robb was actually thinking about this, but he glanced at the middle-aged woman next to him and suddenly thought of hundreds of such women in Westwind town. They were idle, so he laughed and said, "it's too wasteful to dispose of it. This kind of spider silk can be used to make silk stockings and can be sold at a good price, so it can form a very good industry. I'll build a big factory. We’ll hatch these hundreds of spider eggs, use them for silk spinning, and then hire all the women in the town. Let's create the fifth largest industry for Westwind Town-- Silk Stockings Manufacturing Industry.”

"I don’t indulge in praise." Robb said with a smile, "go to someone and call the cloth merchant in the town for me. I'm going to build this factory, but I can't do it without the help of the cloth merchant."

Soon after, the cloth merchant was invited.

The cloth merchant in Westwind Town is actually a very small merchant. When Robb first bought Lillian a month ago, he went to the cloth merchant to buy black dye. As soon as he saw Robb, the merchant quickly saluted his father. Then he stood with his hand down and said, "You called for me? What can I do for you?"

Robb smiled and said, "you must know I use spider silk to make silk stockings?"

The cloth merchant nodded quickly, "Yes, I know."

Robb said, "my spiders suddenly laid hundreds of eggs. I wanted to burn them all, but when I thought about it, I thought it was too wasteful. I might as well care for all these spiders and build a large silk stocking factory. But, you know, I'm very busy. "

As soon as he said this, a strange expression flashed across the cloth merchant's face, and although he did not speak, Robb seemed to hear him say, "cut!"

Robb, “What’s that look on your face?"

The cloth merchant hurriedly said, "No! I didn’t show any expression.”

"Well, then I’ll continue." Robb put on a pondering face, "where were we? Oh, right, I just mentioned that I am very busy.”

Cloth merchant, "cut!"
