With a blast of cold air from the northern grasslands, the temperature in Shuozhou City dropped rapidly, and soon it had the feeling of early winter.

Many families have begun to wear woolen coats to protect against the cold.

"Lao Wu, go out to work so early?"

In Shuozhou City, Wu Huabin walked in the alley with a unique outfit on his back.

He is an old man in Shuozhou City, and he once participated in some battles as a government soldier, but unfortunately his leg was injured.

In the early years, the fate of this kind of injured government soldier was the most tragic.

Although the imperial court also gave some bereavement pensions, it was a drop in the bucket.

His legs and feet are not very convenient, and he has no way to work in the field.

Even if you actually do your job, the efficiency is far less than that of others.

Therefore, even if the imperial court announced a very preferential land policy last year, he did not go out of the city to cultivate cotton fields.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

"Well, I made an appointment with a few hosts yesterday, and today I want to go over to help them play the quilt, if you go late, you won't be busy."

Wu Huabin had a bright smile on his face.

Although the face is full of wrinkles, this smile is not handsome or anything, but it makes people really feel his expectations for life.

A specially made curved slingshot, a uniquely shaped grinding plate, a bullet and a gauze strip, these are all Wu Huabin's outfits.

It seems very simple, but in the past month, it has been seen everywhere in Shuozhou City.

When the students of Guanshishan Academy found Wu Huabin and offered to teach him such a craft, he thought he had encountered a liar.

However, thinking that his family was poor and only had air left, he was not afraid of being deceived at all, so Wu Huabin followed suit.

As the first batch of craftsmen who played cotton, Wu Huabin quickly felt the benefits.

"The second lady of my second sister's family will get married after a while, remember to spare half a day to come out and help me play a quilt."

Seeing Wu Huabin limping out, the neighbor couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted.

"No problem, I'll play it for you in a few days!"

……

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

When Wen Guang walked in a village outside Shuozhou City, he heard a strange and regular sound coming from the center of the village from a distance.

Since the cotton picking was completed, Wen Guang was finally idle and had time to walk around Shuozhou.

Today's Shuozhou City is not what it used to be, and it is already the prosperous place of Hedong Road second only to Jinyang.

Even the villages outside Shuozhou City are full of people and a lively scene.

These villagers, if they had planted cotton, would have doubled or even quadrupled their income this year compared to last year.

Even if you don't grow cotton, you can earn a lot more than in previous years just by going to work in a workshop in the city.

"Brother Wen, there are a lot of people in front, what seems to have happened?"

Shi Ming came to Shuozhou City this time, on the one hand, it was official business, to learn and understand the experience of Shuozhou cotton promotion; On the other hand, it can be regarded as a publicly-funded tour, and by the way, I will find my classmates from Guanshishan Academy to catch up with the past.

Anyway, Xinzhou is not far from Shuozhou, and there are public carriages connecting the two places, so it is very convenient to travel.

"Just go and see." fate

Wen Guang was also a little curious about why there was a sound of "bang bang bang" in front of him.

"These are cotton with their seeds removed, what do they seem to be processing?"

The two of them hurried into the crowd and saw a man holding something like a big bow, constantly plucking the bowstring there, making a strange sound.

"Brother Shi, I saw that after the cotton was picked, it was sold to the deseeding workshop for deseeding, and then sent to the cotton yarn workshop for processing. Although there are some people who pick up cottonseeds by hand and then fill them in the bedding for warmth, I have never seen anything like this today. ”

Wen Guang also looked at the scene in front of him curiously.

"Two Langjun, you just arrived in Shuozhou, right? As long as you buy six or seven catties of cotton that has been stripped of the seeds, and then pay some money to ask the cotton lang to help process it, these cotton can become a warm quilt in half a day. ”

The conversation between Wen Guang and Shi Ming fell on the ears of the people around them, and someone immediately gave an enthusiastic explanation.

"Can cotton still be used like this? This Dan Mian Lang is really smart enough to think of such a solution. ”

Shi Ming's eyes lit up, and he felt that when the time came, he could promote cotton in Xinzhou.

Whether it is ordinary people or wealthy families, they all need warm quilts to keep warm in winter.

Now there is a bumper harvest of cotton in Hedong Road, and the price is not particularly expensive, and ordinary people can afford a quilt.

"Don't dare to take it seriously, this idea didn't come up with me. Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so that the students of Guanshishan Academy who went down to Wenqu Xing came to Shuozhou to help everyone plant cotton, and recently someone came to teach us how to play cotton. ”

Although Wu Huabin was busy working, he also noticed that there were two more young men in the crowd.

Although he didn't know these two people, there were some similarities with the style of the students of Guanshishan Academy who trained him at the beginning, so he was also very enthusiastic to talk to him.

Anyway, after playing cotton for more than ten days in a row, he is already ingenious.

Even if you talk and work at the same time, it doesn't make a difference.

"Students from Guanshishan Academy?"

Wen Guang and Shi Ming glanced at each other.

Soon, though, they understood.

The guys from the Gewu Academy will come up with some strange things every once in a while.

Nowadays, a large number of cotton is planted in Shuozhou, and it is normal for some people to find a way to make use of cotton.

"That's right, it was the students of Guanshishan Academy who taught me this craft. Looking at the appearance of the two Lang Jun, it seems that they are a little face-to-face, could it be that they are also from Guanshishan Academy? ”

Sometimes people's temperament cannot be seen or touched, but it can be felt.

It's like a Chinese and a Chinese walking on the road, and most Chinese people can distinguish who is their own compatriot.

Of course, if you ask those foreigners to tell the difference, they must think that these two people are not exactly the same, right?

"That's right, we are all from Guanshishan Academy."

His identity is not a secret, Wen Guang admits it very clearly.

"The two Lang Jun came from afar, do you want to come to my house to drink a glass of water?"

"Plow, come to our house and eat the plow, it's right next to it."

"If the two Lang Jun are free, they can come to our Mengxue to teach you a lesson."

As soon as Wen Guang identified himself, the villagers who were still watching the excitement around him immediately changed their faces, and greeted them warmly, making them very unaccustomed.

When did the students of Guanshishan Academy have such a status?

But how does it feel...... Great!
