This time, Chen Wenhui was cautious. Thinking that Ziyu would get tomorrow when she came back by car, she went back to her room to prepare. First, he wrote down everything he could think of, so that he could say that he had copied it from a book, and then aroused suspicion.

First cotton. Chen Wenhui was an urban white-collar worker in her previous life, and she didn't know much about crops, but fortunately, thanks to the education system in her previous life, because she had to cope with exams, she once memorized some courses such as labor classes, botany, and biology, and now in retrospect, she wrote them all one by one.

Writing, writing, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered a picture album he had seen in his previous life. Because Chen Wenhui's hobbies in her previous life were singing, painting, and reading novels on the Internet. Because of the high pressure of work, she once specialized in Chinese painting and oil painting for a while to relieve stress.

It was introduced to her by a painting friend. In the Qing Dynasty, there are 16 pictures, including cloth seeds, irrigation, ploughing, picking, cotton picking, refining and drying, collecting and selling, rolling cores, playing flowers, restraints, spinning threads, elegiac warps, cloth pulp, on the machine, weaving, practicing dyeing, each picture is equipped with a text description and a poem of seven words, like a comic book. So Chen Wenhui was very interested and once copied it. I still remember it when I think about it now. It just so happened that she had her father Chen Yuanheng teach her painting in this life, and she was already very skillful, so she simply painted it.

Then sweet potatoes and corn. This Chen Wenhui knows very little, so he roughly wrote about it, that is, in the planting month, sweet potatoes should be seedbed seedlings first, and then planted separately, and it seems that the top of the sweet potato seedlings will be hit in the middle. Fortunately, sweet potatoes and corn are both very easy to grow, so let Ziyu explore it by herself when it's time to do so. Chen Wenhui just wrote that the stems and leaves of sweet potatoes can be used as feed, the stems and leaves of corn can also be used as feed, and the cob of corn can also be used as fuel. Rao is like this, and Chen Wenhui is busy until midnight. Feiguang and Yinhong, Qiu Bi came to urge a few times before going to sleep.

The next day, Ziyu came, Chen Wenhui first took her to see the seeds in the warehouse, and then handed over the stack of things she had written and painted to Ziyu, and explained to Ziyu carefully while letting Ziyu look at it. I talked all morning. The Bai family thought it was funny, why did this daughter care about these things. I'm afraid that my daughter is tired and has been urging tea and resting on the side. And said to Ziyu that it was rare to go back to the house, so he would stay for one night and go back.

In the evening, Bai told Chen Yuanheng about this, laughing at her daughter's intentions about these things, and she didn't see that she was interested in the games that ordinary girls liked. Bai Shi told it as a joke, but Chen Yuanheng listened to it but fell in love. I asked seriously about the new seeds.

Bai Shi knew that it might be important at a glance, so he opened the door and called the little maid on duty at night, Red Carp, to call Ziyu over. Ziyu was very strange what the Bai clan asked her to do so late, but she came quickly. Chen Yuanheng asked in detail about the new seeds. Ziyu was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so she went back to the room and showed Chen Yuanheng the stack of papers that Chen Wenhui gave her during the day, and then told Chen Yuanheng in detail what Chen Wenhui told her.

After speaking, Chen Yuanheng watched and listened at the same time, and after listening, he did not avoid Ziyu, and said to the Bai family: "Madame, do you understand?" Bai didn't listen carefully to Chen Wenhui's explanation because he had to deal with housework during the day, but now he listened carefully and immediately realized the huge economic value of this. After listening to Chen Yuanheng's question, he nodded hurriedly.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "This reminds me of the stack of paper that Hui'er gave Ziyu when she asked Ziyu to go to the farm. Now it turns out that what Hui'er gave is very good, and we are already seeing benefits. Now, if this is still as Hui'er said, its value is even greater, and it may be able to change the lives of millions of people. We have to believe in our daughters. ”

After speaking, he said to Ziyu: "Ziyu, don't tell the outside that the girl made these things, just say that I listened to the old man in the mountains." Although this robbed her daughter of the credit, it also protected her. Also, Ziyu, you must keep it and grow it, maybe this will make the people of my Great Chu Dynasty no longer hungry in the future. When Ziyu heard this, she immediately became cautious and nodded heavily.

Chen Wenhui didn't know about their secret conversation at night, but told Ziyu again the next day before letting Ziyu go back to the Grange. Then Chen Wenhui put aside the matter of seeds, and the next thing was to deal with the bags of cotton. At the thought of having a quilt, Chen Wenhui was very happy with the padded jacket.

She was enthusiastic and found Qingshuang and Chen Cai. However, Chen Cai was still busy with the loan work, and he was not in the house, and Chen Wenjun did not go to school because of the rest of the day, so he and Chen Cai participated in the loan work together. Chen Wenlin didn't have to go to school, and he didn't have his brother to play with, he was bored, and he was bored in the front yard.

Chen Wenhui saw that Chen Cai didn't come, but the second brother who loved to play was speechless for a while. In desperation, he had to tell Qingshuang his thoughts and Chen Wenlin, and took out the drawings he had drawn earlier, and asked Qingshuang to find someone to make a tool for playing cotton. Chen Wenlin was interested when he heard this, and immediately volunteered to take the job, and there was a reason: "Sister, you think, although Sister Qingshuang is capable, Sister Qingshuang is a girl's family, and she has always been out of the door, and it is inconvenient to step through the second door." You might as well leave it to me, I'll take my little guys to the craftsman to make it, but it's done, you made a quilt, but you want to give me a bed to try. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't cry or laugh, sure enough, this second brother has something like this. But he also had a point. And I left it to him. Chen Wenlin originally saw that everyone had something to do, so he was very depressed, but now he is very excited to finally have work to do, and he agrees to see his sister. When he got the drawings, he immediately took his little servant Qingjian and Lin Bo to go outside together.

Qingjian is Qingshuang's elder brother, he is eighteen years old, he is very capable, as soon as Chen Wenlin discussed with him, he took Chen Wenlin to find the craftsmen commonly used in the house, and watched it be done. The tools are simple and ready to go the next day.

Chen Wenlin gave it to his sister like a treasure. Chen Wenhui was also surprised that her second brother was so efficient, so she praised her fiercely, and tried her best to praise Chen Wenlin for her talents. Chen Wenlin was praised by his sister for the first time, and he was overjoyed. I hurriedly asked my sister what to do next.

Chen Wenhui told him that the next step was to use this tool to make the cotton soft, and then make a quilt. Chen Wenlin immediately took this job forward. He said that playing cotton can be made for his little guy Qingjian, and the quilt can be made for his maid and blue water. Chen Wenhui thought about it, it was okay, Qingjian was smart and capable, she knew it, and Bishui's needlework was second only to Feiguang, and it was easy to make a quilt. So he asked the second brother to call these two people and guide them in Chen Wenhui's room.

After a day of hard work, the first quilt was finally ready. Qiushui sewed a quilt cover of green silk sprinkled with flowers on the cotton tire. Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenlin let Qingjian and Qiushui continue, striving to make three more quilts, anyway, this time they got a lot of cotton, and it was enough to make three beds.

There is still some cotton left over for Chen Wenhui to make two small jackets. Of course, the main reason is that Chen Wenhui is small, and if it is done for adults, it is estimated that there is only one enough. In this way, Qingjian and Qiushui continued to work, and the first quilt was taken by the brother and sister to be dedicated to the Bai couple. Bai was very happy when he saw that his son and daughter were so filial. I put this quilt on the same night. Outcome......

As a result, Bai and Chen Yuanheng woke up in the middle of the night. Because it was autumn and the weather was not yet cold, the two of them covered a big quilt, and of course it was hot. In fact, the Bai family is used to covering silk. It's just right to cover a silk quilt in this weather, if it's cold, you have to burn the kang in the north, you have to burn the brazier in the south, and you have to cover two thick silk quilts on the bed. Bai and Chen Yuanheng didn't expect this quilt to be so warm. The two of them were sweating profusely, so they had to call the maid on duty at night to change the quilt, and after tossing for a long time, the two of them lay in the quilt they usually used but did not feel sleepy.

Chen Yuanheng said to Bai: "Madam, I didn't expect this quilt to be so warm, what Hui'er said is true." Because it was too hot, Bai's face was covered with sweat, so he took advantage of the time to change the quilt just now and asked the maid to fetch water and wash her face again.

At the moment, I still feel that my body is still sticky, and I was thinking about whether to take a shower tomorrow, when I heard my husband say it, he replied: "Yes, it can be seen that this cotton is a good thing, but it is too rare." It took a lot of effort for us people in Beijing to buy it from a team of merchants from the Western Regions who came to Beijing to buy and sell, which is very valuable. However, it is so warm and not a loss, but people have come all the way to it. Now it's okay, Hui'er is afraid of the cold in winter, and now with this quilt, make two sets of small cotton jackets according to what Hui'er said, and it is estimated that it will not be cold this winter. It's just that there is too little cotton to replace. It seems that we will have to be more diversified next year, and strive to use quilts and padded jackets in our house next year. ”

Chen Yuanheng got up and put on his clothes and said, "Madame is really motherly." I thought of something else. Bai Shi said strangely: "Where did the master think of something?" Chen Yuanheng said: "I think, if the cotton is planted, keep more seeds next year, and strive to promote it in the future, so that the price of cotton will come down, if the people have cotton quilts and cotton clothes to wear, they will not be afraid of winter." Fortunately now, when the snow falls in winter, there are poor people who freeze to death every year. Anseong is fortunate to be located in the south of the Yangtze River, and more than 100 people froze to death last year. Jingli, the northern provinces are definitely more. I didn't know anything about it before, but now that I see this, I really want to do something for them to live up to my appearance. Bai Shi was in awe: "If the master has this heart, it is a blessing for the people." Next year, we will rely on the master's variety of cotton. ”

Every day, I can see new friends who have collected this book, and I am really happy.
