Chapter 171: Cotton

This move is more effective.

At least as far as Zhao Dakui knew, there were several merchants and officials who had dealings with the Tang family or several other companies that began to dissociate themselves from them.

Zhao Dakui's next step is to swallow up all these people's businesses.

This is also what Zhao Xiaozhou meant.

Zhao Dakui is back, but he is a person who can't stay.

Now that the mutual market has been opened, he has seen the grand occasion of that kind of trading back then, and after so many years, he wants to take a look again.

As soon as Tang Jingyun heard the place he was going to describe, a place name suddenly flashed in his mind.

Cotton is a dicotyledonous plant that likes heat, good light, is drought tolerant, and is suitable for planting in loose and deep soil.

And Tang Jingyun is located in the rainy south.

Normally, cotton is sown in March and April, and after about 200 days of growth, it enters the harvest period in September and October.

The cotton that Tang Jingyun took from Boss Xiao was planted in late June, and now it has been more than five months, and the cotton peaches are about to vomit.

Normally, the cotton planted by Tang Jingyun was not harvested, but because of the constant temperature tree and nutrients, everything it needed was absorbed from these two, so it was harvested.

But the promotion of planting after that is not so simple.

The seeds that Tang Jingyun fed with nutrients are of good quality, which at most makes them more adaptable to the environment in the future.

It is impossible to completely change the growth habits of cotton.

And the place that Zhao Dakui said is very suitable for growing cotton flowers.

But it takes a process for ordinary people to accept a new thing.

Tang Jingyun couldn't run over and say, ah, you can grow cotton, this is good.

No one is so stupid to believe you just by saying it.

So Tang Jingyun asked Zhao Dakui to see if there was any land for sale after he arrived at that place.

If there is, she will buy hundreds of acres first, and when the cotton is promoted in the future, she will take the lead in planting it for the local people.

Zhao Dakui didn't go over empty-handed this time.

He carried the money, took his subordinates, bought a batch of goods, and passed by land.

After Zhao Dakui left, Tang Jingyun was idle, playing intimate games with Zhao Xiaozhou all day long, but Zhao Daqi and the others were busy.

The tea mountain covers an area of nearly 1,800 acres.

According to the minimum requirement of two tea pickers per acre of tea land, the total number of people required for this mountain is close to 3,600.

Although it is possible to recruit workers from nearby villages, the distance between villages is not very close.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to travel.

In modern society, it is enough to drive these tea pickers back and forth every day.

Not here, either build roads to establish carriage pick-up points, or build dormitories to provide food and accommodation.

Tang Jingyun is inclined to the former.

With the cost of repairing dormitories and food and housing, it is better to repair the surrounding roads.

This is a good thing for the benefit of generations.

Then under the tea mountain, Tang Jingyun left a very large piece of land.

Except for a part of the open space for drying tea, a roasted tea room must be built.

The bamboo strips for the tea stall and the boiler stove for roasting tea need to be set up before February.

When Tang Jingyun planted sweet purple bird wood and tea, Zhao Xiaozhou was not there.

The two came back to rest for two days, and early that morning, Tang Jingyun took Zhao Xiaozhou to Lishui Village.

The purple finch wood is still early to mature, and it will have to go in April next year.

It's growing in the field right now, and it looks like a weed.

However, the newly built large sugar factory has been built, and the tools for squeezing the juice, the stove and the cauldron for boiling soup are all prepared.

At this time, the sugarcane harvest has already begun.

Tang Jingyun collected a few sugar makers who were familiar with this industry from elsewhere, and asked them to buy a batch of sugarcane from other places, so that they could first familiarize themselves with those who didn't understand.

After someone takes over, they will try to refine and decolorize the sucrose into white sand sugar according to what Tang Jingyun said.

Tang Jingyun was reluctant to let them wait for April to experiment with his own sugarcane.

In her opinion, that is simply a huge waste of nutrients!

However, the previous experience is not enough.

That's all there is to it.

When Tang Jingyun arrived in the sugar room, the workers were busy, squeezing the juice, boiling the soup, and several masters gathered around to think about fading the sucrose.

When he saw Tang Jingyun coming, he hurriedly said hello.

Tang Jingyun looked at it for a while, understood the process, and then asked a worker to cut a piece of local sugarcane for her, and after scraping off the skin, Tang Jingyun opened his mouth and took a bite.

I took a bite when I used my strength to eat!

It's too hard, but luckily it didn't take long.

Otherwise, Tang Jingyun felt that after eating this section, her teeth would almost be broken.

However, although it is hard, the taste is okay, very sweet, but the juice is not too much, no wonder the sugar production is low.

Tang Jingyun took two and took them away.

After getting into the carriage, Tang Jingyun said to Zhao Xiaozhou very considerately: "Wait until I go back and cut it into small pieces for you to eat." ”

She felt that it was okay to gnaw on sugarcane, but she really couldn't think of Zhao Xiaozhou's hideous look like gnawing on sugarcane.

Just thinking about Tang Jingyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhao Xiaozhou seemed to know what Tang Jingyun was thinking, hugged the back of Tang Jingyun's neck and pulled it to his front and licked her lips, and the tip of his tongue tasted a slight sweetness, "You can taste it first." ”

This kiss naturally didn't separate after touching, the two were tired of kissing together for a while before Tang Jingyun pushed Zhao Xiaozhou away.

straightened his clothes, and said seriously: "Okay, in broad daylight, it's not good to always do this kind of thing." ”

It's just a kiss!

Tang Jingyun seems to have forgotten his shameless appearance of taking the initiative to pestering Zhao Xiaozhou for a kiss in those days.

The two left Lishui Village, changed their route and went to Wangjia Village to see the tea mountain.

The tea mountain has been tidied up, and the mountain road passing through has also been paved.

On this day, many people were busy on the tea mountain, carrying out another wave of sectional planting.

The snow drinking fairy on the tea mountain has been transplanted to the tea mountain since the beginning of September, and the tea mountain has been planted in sections for nearly three months, and the tea mountain is almost full.

Tang Jingyun estimated that by February next year, he would be able to start picking the first wave of tea.

Except for the different colors of the parts they drink, there is no difference between the picking method and the roasted tea method.

The only difference is its picking season, a one-month picking period and a one-month growing season.

If you calculate it, there are six months of picking time in a year.

And every month, the first ten days of picking young shoots, to the back of the growth is getting faster and faster, then the buds with leaves to pick.

In the last 10 days, there are no buds to pick, and all the leaves are picked.

The earlier the picking, the better the quality, and vice versa.

However, Tang Jingyun felt that as a secondary plant fed with nutrients, it was estimated that it was better than the best local plants at the foot of the mountain.

Construction is being started at the foot of the mountain, and the engineering team is an old acquaintance who helped Tang Jingyun build a house and repair roads.

The foreman saw Tang Jingyun coming over and said hello, and told her about the road construction.
