"I'm not for them, I'm picking these for ourselves, anyway, it's okay today, so I'll come out and walk around."

Tong Xiaowu said her thoughts, and Feng Yuchen realized that the plants she came to find the sizing and dyeing materials were really not for those cotton farmers, but really to come out to play with him, and take a look by the way.

"Now the color of the cloth in every cloth village in the market is almost the same, if we find a new color, dye the cotton silk material ourselves, and then find someone to weave it into cloth for our own use, then no one can compare with us in the future, because we have what they don't.

In the future, whether it is rich or whoever, if you want to imitate our products, you can't imitate them, as well as our wool felt dolls, first of all, the material is enough for them to guess for a year and a half, plus the craftsmanship, no one can copy it.

At that time, no matter how wide the market is, it will be our family, even if other doll-making workshops can pop up, they can only follow us and eat dust, and it will be even more difficult to surpass our family. ”

"Lady, I misunderstood you, I thought you were for those cotton farmers?" Feng Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, that Zhang Jiande of Zhangjia Village was really angry, although he didn't want to be like him, but it was uncomfortable to add a blockage for no reason.

"You still say that I, if you hadn't seen them pitiful, how could I have fallen into such a pit?" Tong Xiaowu pretended to be angry and reached out to slap him.

Feng Yuchen grabbed her clay hand and laughed: "How do you know it's me?" ”

"When you checked the tax that day, you asked me what I had in mind in front of the prefectural magistrate. I know that you have compassion, or not, I helped Master Qi, and he can take care of us if we have any difficulties in the future, isn't it the weaving of new cloth? Can you still be hard to beat me? ”

Tong Xiaowu confidently looked at the large patch of comfrey in front of her, smiled happily, and continued to dig.

The two worked together, dug up half a bag of comfrey roots, Feng Yuchen picked another purse of comfrey seeds, and the two of them walked back out of the mountain forest.

When I arrived at the courtyard rented by the county seat, it was already almost the sun.

After the two took a shower and ate, Feng Yuchen helped pack up the things they collected, while Tong Xiaowu sat at the desk to write and draw, and it was not until the end of the day that she completed the design draft and dragged Feng Yuchen to bed.

She examined his leg injury, then got out of bed and made him a cup of raw cucumber seed soup, watched him drink it, and then lay down to rest.

……

On the morning of the third day, the four weavers came to Tong Xiaowu's rented house early, but they still didn't see anyone, and no one answered when they knocked on the door.

Mrs. County Ling was also afraid that this matter would be delayed, so she hurriedly went to the county government to inform Lord Qi and let him be mentally prepared.

This little guy went to the yamen but found that the county magistrate was sitting in the public court, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he went into the inner court and told the yamen about it.

"Tong Xiaowu ran away, is this worth it?"

Zhang Jiande, who is the only one he respects, is the patriarch in Zhangjia Village, and he is a part-time chief, saying that he has been rampant since he was young, and now that he is older, he naturally wants more people to listen to him, and now he heard that Tong Xiaowu ran away, and he excitedly avoided broken steps and entered the inner court.

In the inner courtyard are the heads of the eleven villages who stayed the day before yesterday, and everyone is planning the affairs of the rural cooperatives.

Seeing him shouting into the house, they all stood up, "What did you say?" Tong Xiaowu ran away? ”

"But no, I heard the little guy tell the official just now that Tong Xiaowu hasn't seen anyone for two days." Zhang Jiande smiled at the corner of his mouth, and slapped the table heavily, "What did I say?" She's a liar and a liar, you just don't listen! ”

"But, that's not right, what can she lie to us?"

Everyone talked a lot, and they were uncertain, but then Lord Qi came, so that everyone should not worry, everything will be decided after seeing the results tomorrow, and everyone will settle down.

The so-called piece of stinky meat woke up in a pot, this Zhang Jiande spent one night, taking advantage of the fact that these people lived in one place, and even stirred up many people who thought that Tong Xiaowu was not a trustworthy person like him.

On the appointed day, early in the morning, before the yamen opened, the cotton farmers began to talk in the rented inner room, and the discussion and quarrel again.

Until the yamen opened, these individuals entered the inner court, and the sound of the quarrel did not calm down.

When Qi Hengyuan came, it was even louder inside, don't look at that Zhang Jiande, who is seventy or eighty, has the highest voice.

"Tong Xiaowu is a scheming liar, you are still making fools, it is impossible for her to come today, forget about this rural cooperative, don't think about that......"

"No way, maybe she didn't come back because of something, if she's a liar, what are we trying to do? Besides, what is the use of the five people that Lord Qi lent her, she wants to run a business, and she can recruit people by posting a notice casually, if she doesn't sincerely want to help us, why should she nod and agree at that time. ”

Some of these people also understand, think clearly about the causes and consequences, and see them thoroughly.

"She's a liar, a smart, self-righteous, showy liar, and you're still here to speak for her, if she's not a liar, why doesn't she show up? This yamen is open......" Zhang Jiande glared and insisted on it.

"Shut up!" Qi Hengyuan opened the curtain and walked in: "This time hasn't come yet, you guys are all messed up like this, what kind of system, this hasn't been united to be a rural cooperative, so it's not aligned, if this is connected, you still have to go crazy?" Quarrel three times a day, don't think about doing anything. ”

"My lord, what are you talking about rural cooperatives? That's the reason for Tong Xiaowu's deception, she ran away, what else did she do? "A lieutenant commander in his thirties is also worried, so he really believed what Zhang Jiande said last night.

"I heard that I didn't come back for a day yesterday?" Zhang Jiande shook his tongue and shook his head: "It's over, it's a delay of three days, if it weren't for this liar, we would all set up a car and pull cotton to Pingjiao County, maybe we could all buy some silver money and come back." ”

Qi Hengyuan frowned slightly, and said several times, this method is not feasible, why is this Zhang Li Chang still holding on to this?

"My lord, in my opinion, maybe this Tong Xiaowu went out to find the weaving method of new cloth." Some people who support Tong Xiaowu opened their mouths.

"Go out and look for it? What kind of fabric and weaving are popular in our entire state and county, and even in our entire Xuanyuan country, can you see it at a glance? Do you still need to go out and find it?

If you go out to find it, how far do you have to go? There are some different weaving methods in the hands of the aliens in the deep mountains and old forests of the extreme south, but it is a thousand difficulties and dangers to get there, and it takes half a year to get there, and today is the appointed day, isn't that a joke? ”
