Chapter 43: Wild Cotton

Siqi also carried a basket to prepare, and after a while, he picked up something good when he saw something good on the mountain, but he couldn't go to the mountain in vain.

Lin Changyuan took a bow and arrow, took the three children to the mountain, and talked to Zijun Zikang while observing the prey.

It's good that the boy's family still has to learn some skills on their bodies, and if these two children don't learn any skills when they grow up, then he's really a failure as a father.

With Lin Changyuan here, they were not so worried, and rushed to the mountains, on weekdays, the children only walked around outside when they went up the mountain by themselves, and they didn't dare to go inside, for fear of getting lost and not being able to get out.

There are many prey in the deep mountains, and at this time the ecological environment is good, there is everything on the mountain, and if you are brave, you can also hit wild boars and the like.

What kind of prey there is in the mountains is also related to the local natural environment, such as the Bashu region, there are fewer large prey on the mountain, and more are hares and other things.

The easiest thing to reach is to hunt in the mountains, but of course, you can also hunt deer and the like.

After entering the deep mountains, Lin Changyuan's state was obviously different, his ears were particularly sensitive, and he quietly listened to the movements around him.

After a while, he picked up a bow and arrow and shot a rabbit, and asked Zikang to pick it up.

Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "You two are carrying it in the back, let's finally enter the mountain today, and then go out after a while." ”

Siqi sighed at Lin Changyuan's hunting skills, this is really not something that can be learned overnight, I think he should have liked this since he was a child, so he will keep studying, and no one else in the Lin family seems to be able to hunt.

It seems that his father and mother are very powerful, and his father was wandering outside when he was young, and if he didn't have any ability, he wouldn't dare to go outside.

Siqi watched hunting for a while and was not interested, anyway, she couldn't learn it, so it was more important for her to look at the others.

There are really a lot of things in the mountains and forests, and now it is summer, and a lot of mushrooms are beginning to grow, but she doesn't know these mushrooms, and she doesn't dare to pick them back, but some of them must be edible.

She only knows one kind of mushroom, and when she was a child, she would go up to the mountains to pick it when she was a child, but it was only after it rained that there was that kind of mushroom, which was so fragrant that she could smell it from afar, and she usually relied on the smell to find it.

It's still a month or two before the rainy season, and when it's the middle of summer, I'll be able to figure out how to do it.

Even if she didn't dare to pick mushrooms, she still put them in the basket when she saw the wild vegetables, these wild vegetables growing in the mountains are very fresh and tender, which are different from the vegetables grown in her own vegetable field, and everyone loves to eat them when they take them back.

There are also quite a few peach and plum trees in the mountains, all of which are wild, and because there is no one to take care of them, the fruit is not very large, but it tastes good.

Siqi tasted one and put it in the basket, and in a short time the basket she brought was already full.

Zijun said with a smile, "His son is really Gu family, and he will take everything home, don't you have peaches and plums at home?" ”

Siqi smiled, "There are so many at home, if you eat it, it will be gone, eat the mountain first, this fruit is small, the taste is not bad, I have tasted it." ”

Zikang said, "If it's delicious, you can pick more of it, and if you can't lift it for a while, I'll help you pick it up." ”

After a while, Lin Changyuan beat several wild rabbits, and several children were so happy, they had something to eat today.

Lin Changyuan finally came here, but now he didn't want to go back, and he had to continue to walk around, so Siqi followed them and came to an open place.

She looked around and frowned, how could there be cotton on the ground?

This is cotton, she read it right, after all, she graduated from an agricultural university, and these things are the most basic.

No one in this village grows cotton, and when she saw cotton at this time, she suddenly remembered, yes, why not grow cotton? Since ancient times, cotton has been a good thing, a cash crop.

Zikang was next to her, and she quickly turned her head and asked, "Second brother, why doesn't anyone in our village grow cotton?" ”

Zikang looked puzzled when he heard this, "Cotton, what is cotton?" ”

Siqi was stunned, most of the reason why he didn't plant cotton was because cotton planting had not yet been popularized at this time, but someone must have planted it, otherwise where did this wild cotton come from.

Lin Changyuan and Zijun came back from beating another rabbit, and when they saw the two of them talking together, they asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”

Siqi was thinking about how to get this matter over, after all, she had been staying in the countryside, and it seemed that she couldn't talk about it if she knew cotton.

As a result, Zikang spoke directly, "Qi'er just said why don't we grow cotton, Dad, what is cotton?" How I haven't heard of it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Changyuan looked at Siqi, "Qi'er, where did you hear this?" ”

Siqi's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said, "A few days ago, Grandma Zhang's youngest son next door came back, isn't he doing business outside?" When I went to play, I saw that his clothes were quite soft, and he said that they were made of cotton, and I was always curious. ”

Lin Changyuan then said, "Oh, that's the matter, we don't have cotton here, my father used to see clothes made of cotton when he was outside, and it was indeed very soft, but I don't know how that thing was grown." ”

Siqi nodded, and didn't say anything more at this time, she was afraid of arousing Lin Changyuan's suspicion that her father was not a fool.

A nine-year-old girl who knows too much is sure to arouse suspicion.

Thinking about it, it seems that all the people who have come into contact with it are not wearing cotton clothes, all of them are clothes made of mulberry linen, which shows that cotton was not popular at this time, and the common people still mainly used mulberry hemp.

If she could think about it, grow some cotton in her own house, and then pick cotton and sell it later, wouldn't she be able to make a lot of money?

After coming for so long, she has been thinking about making money all the time, but she has never thought of a good idea, but now it is good.

Siqi felt that his eyes lit up, and he finally had a way to go.

Today, all the hares that went up the mountain to fight, Lin Changyuan shot a total of five, and then took the children back to go.

"That's all, we can't be greedy."

On the way back, Siqi has been observing the surrounding plants, there are still a lot of wild cotton, and he doesn't know where the seeds come from.

Although this road is in the mountains, it is quite open, and it is also because of the people who walk, and if the merchants are in a hurry, it is not impossible to cross the mountain, maybe it was at that time that it fell?

She deliberately memorized the route so that she could find it later, this was her opportunity, and she couldn't let it go.
