Chapter 35: Treasure Found
Everything is on the right track, although the sofa is less ordered, the peak does not let everyone be idle, the surrounding area is saturated, it does not mean that there is no demand in the county and other places, and it is necessary to help Zhang Bairen make Simmons beds and combination wardrobes, once these two objects are available, maybe another wave of orders will fly.
Gao Feng prepared for a while and decided to go to Li Qikun's house. Li Qikun has always invited him to his home to sit as a guest, and he always excuses himself on the excuse of being busy, but this time he has to take the initiative to go.
Gao Feng found Li Qikun for two purposes. The first is to understand the situation of the land near the county seat and prepare for the purchase of land.
The second is to get some wine back, the current wine is quite different from the future generations, and he wants to study it.
After arranging the family, he took Hu Bao and set off with the 10,000 candles he had just made.
……
Da Li Zhuang is in the northwest of Zhang'an, there are more than ten miles of road apart, and it takes an hour to walk, set off after breakfast, and arrive at half noon.
Li Qikun's house is in the south of Zhuangzi, a courtyard no less than Zhang Bairen's house, although there is no too majestic building, but it also looks outstanding. The courtyard is surrounded by tall trees, surrounded by forest shade, which looks lush and green, and there are many delicate flower branches and fruit branches emerging from the courtyard wall, indicating that the owner of the house is very good at enjoying life.
Hearing that the peak is coming, Li Qikun has been waiting at home for several days, and today he finally came.
The two sides meet. "Brother Gao, you're finally here at the Humble House." Li Qikun greeted with a smile.
"It's too humble outside, if you are a cold house, I will be a kennel." Gao Feng quipped.
"Still kennels? Immediately live in the manor and call it a kennel, others believe it, I don't believe it? Li Qikun revealed.
Gao Feng wanted to buy land and had already revealed it to Li Qikun, so Li Qikun knew about it.
"Haha, the staff is laughing, no matter how big the yard is in the future, it is not as good as the staff here, you see that everywhere is lush, birds and flowers, it is simply a fairyland on earth, a paradise in the world, if you live in it for a day, you will definitely be able to live a long life and keep your youth forever." Gao Feng said with a smile.
"Then don't go, stay here for three days and five days, and see if you can live to be three or five hundred years old, and you will always be so young." Li Qikun laughed.
"How can my small body compare to the outside of the staff? You are a fairy wind bone, living will naturally prolong life, I am a mortal in the flesh, a layman, dare not live, dare not live, afraid of insulting the treasure land. Gao Feng said nonsense.
"I didn't expect that you kid not only has a lot of ideas, but also has good sycophancy, and let me discover a great skill of yours!" Li Qikun quipped.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's far worse than the outside." Gao Feng was humble.
"Oh, then you're saying I'm good at sycophancy." Li Qikun asked pretendedly.
"No, it's your good looks." Gao Feng slashed a breath indiscriminately.
This is what it says, it is simply playing the piano randomly, although Gao Feng seems to be patting on the back, but in fact, there is a meaning of ridicule, Li Qikun couldn't help but widen his eyes. This son's skin is really not ordinarily thick.
After gossiping, Li Qikun led Gao Feng into the gate, and it was really as Gao Feng said, although there were not many pavilions and pavilions, but the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was pleasant, like a peach paradise.
This is the season of late autumn, and it is supposed to be the time when the dead branches are hideous and the leaves are flying, but Li Qikun can't see this kind of scenery here.
The trees are lush and luxuriant, and they do not match the autumn season, but occasionally some trees are falling leaves, and they are also full of fruits, which are fragrant and pleasant, and attract salivation.
Most of these strange flowers and fruits Gao Feng didn't know, but after Li Qikun's introduction, he suddenly realized that he had really heard of these in his previous life, but he couldn't match them because he hadn't seen the real thing.
With the experience of his previous life, Gao Feng was able to talk to Li Qikun about a few nonsense, and it really made sense to say it, so it aroused Li Qikun's sideways. This son is really extraordinary, these things are all obtained by his own painstaking efforts, and his understanding of their performance attributes is not comprehensive, this son can be said, it seems that he is a genius is not too much.
If Gao Feng knew that Li Qikun thought so, his stomach would definitely hurt with laughter. These are all things that Lao Tzu saw on TV and newspapers, and it is the first time I have seen the real thing, and I am really ashamed to have this evaluation!
The two of them walked as they talked, and suddenly, Gao Feng stopped, his eyes staring closely at the corner of a walled courtyard, as if he had found some treasure.
Following his gaze, Li Qikun found that there were several withered flower branches and leaves, all of which had fallen off, and the buds on them had broken open, revealing white flocculents, and had gradually turned pale yellow after being beaten by the rain and dew.
I don't know why Gao Feng reacted so much to this thing, Li Qikun wondered, those things that he thought were good Gao Feng passed by lightly, even if he said a few words that seemed reasonable, he didn't say deeply, how could such an inconspicuous thing attract his attention?
Li Qikun didn't understand, but Gao Feng almost screamed, he had already recognized it with great certainty, it was definitely a good baby-cotton.
Why is cotton here? And why was it left out? Gao Feng didn't have time to ask for a while. But he knew that with this thing, he had another way to make a fortune.
"What is this?" In order to hide the excitement in his heart, Gao Feng asked deliberately.
"It's called cotton." Li Qikun didn't understand what was going on, so he had to answer calmly.
God, even the name is the same, it seems right.
"How do you have this?" Gao Feng asked again.
"What? Do you know it? Li Qikun asked rhetorically. Although Gao Feng tried his best to cover it up, he still made Li Qikun believe that he knew this thing, and it was even more than just knowing it.
Gao Feng nodded, did not speak, but looked at Li Qikun expectantly, hoping that he would answer his own question.
Seeing Gao Feng's eagerness, Li Qikun had no choice but to say: "This was sent by a businessman friend in the south, he knew that I like to raise flowers and grass, so he gave me a few seeds, and told me how to raise them. This cotton blooms long and has many flowers, and it blooms white first, and the color turns red when it is about to wither, but it looks ordinary and is not outstanding, so I planted it in the corner. After the flowering period, it will also produce buds, and the buds will break and some white floc will come out, and if it weren't for the seeds in the white floc, I would have had it cut down long ago. ”
I see! Li Qikun said in detail, but he didn't listen to most of the content, he just paid attention to how the cotton came from.
The peak of the spread of cotton has been heard of in previous lives. It spread to China after the Jin Dynasty, however, it was only cultivated in the south or remote areas, and most of it was still for ornamental purposes, until the Ming Dynasty, when it was forced to be planted in a large area by the government as a cash crop, and it is not surprising that it is now used as a flower by Li Qikun.
"Haha, outside of Mr. Li, you are guarding a cornucopia and you don't know the goods, the kid has to dare to say a sentence, you are called having eyes and not knowing gold and jade." Gao Feng quipped.
"Brother Gao, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand what this thing is for? Li Qikun wondered.
"What's the use? The usefulness can be great, and the specific usefulness will be talked about later, let me ask you first, how many cotton seeds do you have? Gao Feng didn't explain anymore, but asked again.
"This species has been around for several years, and the accumulated seeds should be a few catties, plus this year's harvest, it can almost make ten catties." Gao Feng often exaggerated his words, which Li Qikun has long been accustomed to, but he still answered Gao Feng's questions honestly.
Ten catties of seeds should be able to plant one or two acres of land, and in another year it can be popularized on a large scale, so that you can get enough cotton in a few years.
With this calculation, Gao Feng immediately said: "Li Yuanwai, next spring ploughing, you let people find a piece of fertile land to plant all of it, bear fruit, out of the floc, then I will buy it all, how much to buy, the price is to say, to ensure that it is more profitable than planting other crops, of course, don't do anything else, I just need the white cotton wool, in addition, you must pay attention to the cotton wool can not let the rain hit, otherwise it will change color and lose its value." ”
"Just cotton wool?" Li Qikun was surprised.
