Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cotton Is Good for Winter

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had to be surprised, everyone else was carrying their clothes with one hand and picking with the other, and someone in front of them buttoned their clothes and picked them with both hands.

"Wait for her to come back and ask her how she came up with the idea to do this. When the time comes, teach it to others, and you will have to use it next year. Wang Juan looked over there and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao also had this meaning, agreed, and continued to wait.

There are a lot of people, staring at an acre of land picking, it took an hour, this circle is finally finished, the number is definitely not the yield of an acre of land, and there is no cotton, you need to wait for a month, two months, even if it is three months, cotton is this characteristic, unless it is specially cultivated.

Seeing that he couldn't estimate it in front of him, Zhang Xiaobao asked people to bring the flower tie machine, and asked people to put the cotton in to try, and after adjusting it a few times, he found that it was easy to use, and Zhang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, so that it could be used in the future.

The people of the Zhang family are accustomed to the fact that the little boy can make some things, Li Xun looked at it next to him and didn't know what it meant, the white stack can watch when a flower blooms, and you can also watch a white stack appear, what do you do when you get it down and put it in a thing and squeeze it?

Zhang Xiaobao didn't explain to Li Xun either, and when the time comes, he will talk about the real thing, and it's useless to talk about it now.

Wang Juan summoned the fastest maid over, looked at the sign, it was three stars, looked at it carefully, and recognized.

"Xiao Su, how did you come up with that solution just now? Talk to other people in a while, teach other people, and you will add an extra star to your home. ”

"Thank you, little lady, I just thought that I could do it faster, just a glance at my eyes is enough, where is this lump, reach out and take it off."

Xiao Xu didn't expect to be able to pick a white stack to mention one star, four stars, and five stars if you work harder.

"Well, yes, keep working, after harvesting these acres in a while, you will go to the dock to find us." Wang Juan commanded, with Zhang Xiaobao and Li Xun, towards the direction of the dock, she really didn't want to wait here, others did it first, this is a skilled job, slow at the beginning, and it will be fast after getting familiar with it, it is estimated that those few acres can be harvested before dark.

"Li Gongzi, have you gone to the supermarket in Sanshui County this time?" Zhang Xiaobao thought of the supermarket when he was on the road, and he couldn't leave with a pile of messes.

Li Xun heard Zhang Xiaobao mention the supermarket, and said happily: "I went to see, there are many people passing by by boat, and after seeing the supermarket, they have to deliberately stop for a while, go inside and go around, and want to see the freshness, but most of the people who go in will buy something, and some people even buy more and more, see what they want to buy, and wait for the checkout to find that there is not so much money."

There are also people who ask for a pocket, and since the money in that pocket has been collected, the people who have come to buy things for ordinary life have all taken baskets or bags by themselves, and there are almost no people who steal things, and a servant is arranged at the door, and they are afraid of seeing officials. ”

"It's good to get used to it, wait for a few more years, the local people don't have that kind of freshness, coming to buy things will become a common thing, and other places will be opened one after another, and the house is not built to urge it, and opening one is to start making money.

If you want to expand outward as soon as possible, you can pawn the house of the supermarket that has been built, which is a mortgage, but we still use it, and if you don't pay the money at that time, the house will be a pawn shop. ”

Zhang Xiaobao saw that Li Xun was interested, and began to tell him how to use this operation method.

Li Xun didn't have the idea of doing this at all, "You must not pawn the house, this profit is too much, it is not cost-effective, it is better to cooperate with others, it is really not good, I will bring more people in." ”

Zhang Xiaobao saw that Li Xun disagreed, and no longer continued to persuade, in fact, there were other ways, but Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to take it out now, Li Xun had already learned a lot of things, even if he didn't know it himself.

When the rice is harvested and stacked there, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are more than two months, that is, the New Year, and the cotton is almost picked.

I don't know if the land there is suitable for cotton growth, or when I bought it in the capital, the person who chose it was good, even if there was a little left and not picked, it was still more than 600 catties left after the seeds were removed, and the yield of eleven acres of land was not as good as the yield of one acre of Zhang Xiaobao and the others at that time.

This place originally had a kind of cotton, cotton, basically similar to cotton, that is, when it was used, it felt like and had a difference in heat preservation, and the spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing things just followed the cotton.

The people of the inner courtyard will be gathered together, and they will start to make these cotton, and Wang Juan has made some efforts, lengthening the bow for playing cotton, and the willfulness is also greater, and there is a small wooden hammer, so that the hand does not have to touch the bowstring directly and get injured.

Then there is spinning and weaving, because of the relationship between the loom, the woven cloth can not meet the requirements of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but it is always stronger than linen.

When the first set of bedding and pillow scalp were made, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put bran in the pillow scalp, held a large ball alone, and sent it to Wang Juan's grandfather.

In winter, the quilt can be relieved, as well as cotton shoes and cotton pants, which add up to make Wang Juan's grandfather feel better.

Wang Juan's grandfather was the first to get it, knowing that it was the credit of his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, and the old man was happy all day long.

The rest of the family also began to have their own quilts, and when they were almost done, the rest of the cotton was left there in case it was needed to make cloth or thread, or to fill things.

"Continue to purify the alcohol and make alcohol cotton." Wang Juan looked at the remaining cotton and had something new.

Zhang Xiaobao is a little disgusted with this alcohol cotton, if it is scratched, he would rather use yellow iodine water than alcohol, when this thing rubs an open wound, it is easy to scab and pus.

Wang Juan also knew this, but he was still ready to do something, "Xiaobao, it's better than no means of disinfection, right?" There is another thing that is also good for disinfection, that is, indigo, which can play a role in sterilization and insecticide, and the next time I mix it with water to see if it can be used as a pesticide. ”

"Then make some, even if you don't use alcohol, steamed cotton, and gauze, it can also play a good role in the wound, first send the three bedding and a zhang of cloth to Li Xun, thanks to the three sets he promised at the beginning, how much do you say this set can be sold?"

Zhang Xiaobao reported a five-pound quilt, walked outside first, loaded it on the car, and the two of them pushed it to Li Xun.

Wang Juan was also busy, and when the two of them pushed the cart to find Li Xun, Li Xun was facing a tree that had lost many leaves, and Wang Juan taught "Autumn Cicada".

"You don't need thin clothes to survive the winter, we'll send you something for the winter." Zhang Xiaobao stopped the car and shouted to Li Xun from behind the futon that was taller than him.

Li Xun turned his head and was startled, and when he went around to the side, he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, pointed to the futon that didn't look very good, and said, "This is what you gave me?" I have a good quilt, I don't cover this. ”

"You have a good quilt, satin, you can put another quilt on the outside of this quilt, and this cloth, take it and see what you can do." Zhang Xiaobao stood up, patted the futon with his hand and said.

Li Xun came over curiously and pinched it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? How is it different from what I used to use? Isn't it kapok in it? ”

"It's a white stack in it, take one down and hold it in your arms and take a look." Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the top quilt and asked Li Xun to hug it.

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, Li Xun reached out and took the top one down, hugged it in his arms, and only hugged it for a while before saying, "Okay, it's warm, and it's so gentle, this is Bai Diezi?" The cloth is also woven in white stacks? Doesn't that mean that in the future, you can plant a large number of white stacks, and then make cloth, which is much stronger than linen?

People who can't afford to sell silk use this thing, and it's so warm, can this thing also make clothes? When it's cold, it's a hundred times stronger for people who can't afford leather clothes to wear this clothes than to wear two more layers of linen clothes, no, I have to tell my father about this, take a few more sets, and I'll let them see. ”

"No, just three sets, what you promised at the beginning, said it was to give you five sets, you don't care, give one set to the prince, keep one set for yourself, and send the other set to whoever you want." Zhang Xiaobao deliberately mentioned the incident a few days ago.

Li Xun was stunned there holding the quilt, his eyes blinked, and he said in annoyance: "Why didn't you order more that day?" Can the things sent by the Zhang family be worse? Blame me, blame me, Xiaobao, let's discuss, you must still have it, right? It is impossible to make three sets of so many white stacks.

In addition to your family, you can still have a lot left there, I buy it, can I buy it? Three sets of money, bedding and that pillow, I want as much as I want. ”

"Don't sell, don't sell how much money, in fact, there are other places that may be found, you go to see the various flower markets, there are white stacks there, ask them if they have thrown them away, buy them back if they don't throw them away, buy a pound for a penny, there should be many people who will be willing to sell."

The cotton that Zhang Xiaobao kept was used for emergencies, and it was impossible to sell it to Li Xun, and suddenly it occurred to him that this white stack was a flower, and the flower seller could always find it, so it was much more convenient for Li Xun to find it.

"Okay, I'll let people go to find it, and I'll leave it to you to help make things when the time comes, I'll really go home, why do you always come up with new things, let me toss back and forth."

Li Xun began to greet people as he spoke, first took the things on the cart to the house, and then asked people to quickly go to the capital and other state capitals to see if he could collect more white stacks, and then he was about to set off.

"Wait, help me bring ten sets to Grandpa Bi, it's his nephew's land, no matter what, I have to give some benefits." Zhang Xiaobao called Li Xun.

When he was about to load the car, Zhang Xiaobao stuffed a letter to Li Xun again: "The letter has already said the matter, you must not leave it secretly." ”
