Chapter Seventy-Two
No one paid attention to the mood of the two fathers, and they all stood up to listen to the young people, Liu Yimian knew about Liu Yiqiu's grafting of cotton, and he was convinced that in the autumn of next year, his own cotton would be very much.
The reason why Xining has the advantage of cotton is because the climate there is particularly suitable for cotton cultivation, and the endless fields are full of cotton. The good land of the Great Qi Dynasty was planted with grain by law, and in the era when the food was not enough to eat, what kind of sideline planting was still talked about. The results of growing cotton in a bad place can be imagined. If the local cotton production is solved, there will be no need to suffer from the bird's spirit of Xining.
"Big brother, what the second brother said is right, cotton is the foundation of our family and should be stored," the old brother and the little brother both smiled with satisfaction, and the hero saw the same thing. Liu Zichuan's eyebrows and feet drooped without a trace. "However, the Xining envoy has entered Beijing, whether it is friendly or not, we are not the only ones who have a premonition of the shortage of cotton, and if nothing else, there will be a cotton price war tomorrow. It can be said that this battle is just to burn silver. ”
The corners of Liu Zichuan's eyebrows quietly rose again. "What should our family do, we can save money and be invincible."
"This depends on our Liu family's female general. I heard Yimian say that there is a kind of coarse cloth, which is the kind of raw cloth that poor farmers like to wear, which is strong, wear-resistant, and fast to weave. It is woven from linen or even jute, which is very inexpensive, dyed in a special blue or black, and can be made into casual loungewear or riding clothes. In this way, we can avoid this cotton war and find a new way. ”
As soon as the women represented by Liu Xueqin heard that they kicked the ball to the women's table, they all looked at Liu Yimian and Liu Yizhu, Liu Yizhu glanced at Liu Yimian, who was eating and drinking as usual, what do you mean, is this for me to speak.
"Grandmother, I heard Yimian say that I was also adjusting that color, but she was always dissatisfied, saying that it was not bright, and I had already worn the color four times. She's not satisfied, I, I don't know when I'll be able to meet her requirements. ”
Liu Xueqin comforted the frightened Liu Yizhu and said; "Yizhu, take your time, you can do it well, our whole family believes it, if you can't do it four times, five times, six times, seven times, eight times. We can see your efforts, why don't you send a few more people to you? ”
"Well, it would be better if I could give me two people who do this all year round, after all, my contact time is too short."
Liu Zichuan said loudly; "So it was decided, and the experienced old Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ma, who had been working in the workshop, were sent to Yizhu's yard and listened directly to Yizhu's command. Evian was in charge of going to the clan and supervising the production of the rehabilitated cloth with the workshop, and Elin went to the clan to agree with the nearby Zhuangzi on the land where cotton would be planted next year. Sign a contract with them, and you both come to my study after dinner. ”
"Yes, grandfather."
Liu Yizhu saw that the strategic deployment had come down, and hurriedly said; "Ah, grandfather, I can't figure out what to do, it's too much responsibility."
Liu Zichuan said with a smile; "Yizhu, don't be afraid, take your time, sooner or later you can get it out, it's better, and if you don't get it, those more raw cloth will also be marketable. In short, our family does not participate in this cotton war. ”
Liu Xueqin looked at Liu Yizhu with loving eyes, this granddaughter is very similar to her mother, but she is too young and needs to be honed. Pointing at Liu Yimian with his fingers, and pointing at the sky with his fingers. Liu Yizhu looked at Liu Yimian, who kept eating and drinking, and said in her heart, go back and let her read the book of heaven, maybe there are one or two sentences in it, which is enough for me to use. Inexplicably relieved, he said;
"Okay, I'll try to do a good job, grandfather, grandmother, don't give me a kiss, I want to wait until I get all the dye things done, I want to be the first dye master of the Great Qi Dynasty."
"Hehe, who said that I was going to give you a kiss, we want to watch you become a dye master, and Yiyi and Yimei will marry after becoming designers. The girls in our family are more promising, and they can rest assured that they will marry wherever they marry after becoming teachers. Liu Xueqin still thinks about her biological daughter Liu Yixia in her heart. It's hard to be in that house, hey, it would be nice to teach these earlier, but now it's good, I will only manage that backyard, and that home will be of no use.
"Yimian, what do you say we are going to do after that rehabilitation cloth comes out?" Liu Yiyi and Liu Yimei were very excited when they heard the family's decision, in the past, the adults had the final say in the family's affairs, and they didn't know anything. Now, although I didn't receive the arduous task of Guan Rong like Liu Yizhu, I listened to the family's decision-making for the first time, and I felt very responsible, and when the family still needed our help, I felt that I was an important part of the family. It feels a little heroic.
"Loungewear can't be pushed out yet, you say?" Liu Yimian admires these girls very much, and they need guidance to grow up.
Liu Yiyi frowned and said; "It's difficult, what else can we do, it is a dress worn by the poor people, and people with status and status must disdain to wear it. The sales volume and price of the clothes worn by the poor people are both problematic. What kind of people should you sell sturdy and indestructible clothes to? ”
Liu Yimei was also frowning on the side, only listening to what Liu Xueqin said there; "It's about to be the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the married daughter can't live in her mother's house. Evian, go tomorrow, your daughter-in-law will pick it up, and go back to our house for a reunion, Wu is a good boy. ”
"Yes, grandmother, tomorrow. She had wanted to come back for a long time, but she never dared to move. ”
"I wronged her, the first great-grandson of our Liu family actually suffered like this, poor child."
Mrs. Wang also said with a handkerchief in the corner of her eye; "Mother is right, my eldest grandson has suffered, I have sent someone to send supplements a few times, after all, my mother's family is not as good as my own home. I'm going to make up for the two of them when I come back, and I've made a lot of little clothes. ”
"Well, when Wu comes back, she will be exempted from morning and dusk, and the most important thing is to concentrate on raising the fetus."
As long as a woman mentions a child, it will be endless, but Liu Yimei exclaimed; "Third sister, can we use that rehabilitated cloth to make a more novel children's outfit, there is no big taboo about what the children of the total horn wear, novelty, weirdness."
Liu Yiyi stretched out her big finger to Liu Yimei and praised; "Ah, Yimei, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it, a lively and active child needs simple and light clothes, the little boy is looking for it, the robe is very fettering, you should get some clothes that are easy to play."
Liu Yimian continued; "Oh, what a novelty idea, child, let's name them children's clothes. This cloth should be suitable for children over the age of three who can run and jump. You said do you want to get a few smaller models, it's hard to find such a big child, can you be obedient, I can't control the child. ”
