Chapter 143: Cotton

Jiang Zhixia looked at the flowers casually, and regretted coming to participate in the flower party. For her, the flower party was too boring.

The ladies in the garden all found people they knew. They either chanted poetry, or fought against each other, or played chess.

Jiang Zhixia was alone, and he didn't want to go into a circle that was not suitable for him. Therefore, she could only hide on the side and enjoy the flowers.

Suddenly, her eyes were firmly drawn to a white flower.

The white flowers, divided into several petals, hang on the branches. Some of the branches have large green leaves, while others are bare.

Jiang Zhixia's heart involuntarily lifted.

"Wouldn't it? No way? You can't be so lucky, right? ”

She held her breath and muttered to herself as she walked slowly past.

Approaching the flower pot, Jiang Zhixia lowered his head and looked at it carefully, smelled it, and seemed to stroke the petals, but in fact, he pinched and pulled it tightly.

It's true, it's really cotton!

Cotton, cotton, what does that mean?

It means that you can spin cotton cloth to make all kinds of clothes, you can wear a big cotton jacket in winter, and you can cover a thick quilt.

can make her already cold body warmer.

In view of the feeling of last winter, she has been working on accumulating the fluff of chickens, ducks and geese. However, it takes time and effort to save up that thing.

If you add cotton, make a down cotton suit...

Jiang Zhixia's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

Although these coats are quite warm nowadays, they are expensive after all. Even if she had money, she couldn't buy it often to wear it.

Besides, the fur is fur after all, and it is too heavy. How light cotton is.

Also, with cotton, is it possible to ditch that dreaded menstrual belt and make a simple version of sanitary napkins? How much of a woman's gospel would that be?

And as a pioneer, this is also a big deal. It's completely possible to make money on your own while benefiting others.

In the future, if it is really planted on a large scale, it will also be very beneficial to the common people.

The kudzu cloth is coarse, the silk is expensive, but the cotton cloth is just right.

If nothing else, at least it can make the winter less 'frozen bones on the road', right?

How can this be regarded as a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, right?

Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but jump up when he thought about it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia turned his head to look at the maid who was waiting in the garden, and gestured for her to come over.

After the maid came over, she bowed respectfully, "What do you command?" ”

"I want to ask, what is this flower called?"

Since they are waiting in the back garden, and in the name of the flowering party, these maids must know more or less about flowers, right?

Otherwise, the guests will not be able to answer when they ask, and it will be the face of the host who will be lost.

"Miss Hui, this is called a sponge flower." The maid seemed to be a clever man, she replied clearly.

"Sponge flowers?" Jiang Zhixia muttered, and then praised: "This flower is special, I have never seen it." I like it.,I don't know where this flower comes from.。。。。 ”

Before Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, he heard the laughter of Mrs. Cheng Amber behind him.

"If Miss Jiang likes it, I'll give you this flower."

"Let the lady see the smile."

Jiang Zhixia turned around and saw Mrs. Cheng Anbo behind her, accompanied by a group of ladies, and hurriedly saluted and said.

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness. It's just that how can a little girl take the good of her wife? ”

Although Jiang Zhixia wants cotton very much. However, what she wanted more was where the cotton came from, so she politely declined.

She thought that while the ladies were gone, she would continue to inquire about the origin of the cotton.

"What is this flower worth? To say, there are a lot of flowers in our house. There are a few more plants in the house, and this one can be given to the girl. ”

Mrs. Cheng Anbo looked at this flower that was not fragrant, not good-looking, and worthless, and was still enthusiastic to give it away.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the cotton, but still declined.

This spend is currently worthless. However, in the future, she will have to grow it on a large scale and then use it for trading.

Now, I have the favor of the other party's flower, and in the future, I don't know what to use to pay it back.

You know, it's easy to pay back the money, but it's hard to pay it back.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia firmly refused.

Mrs. Lin, who was looking at everything in her eyes, had a look of satisfaction in her eyes again. It's good to like it but be able to resist temptation.

"Madame's flowers and plants in this courtyard are not only very good, but also have many types."

Jiang Zhixia saw Mrs. Cheng Anbo, who had lost face, and her smile was a little less, so she hurriedly praised her.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo listened to the praise, smiled reservedly, and then took the other ladies to continue to visit other flowers.

While pointing to the various flowers, he said: "The flowers in my house are really some that you can't usually see outside." ”

The maid saw that there was nothing wrong with her here, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Suddenly, she was pressed by Jiang Zhixia with her sleeve, and she immediately got a purse in her hand.

She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhixia in surprise.

This maid just heard Mrs. Cheng Amber call Jiang Zhixia Miss Jiang, so she knew that she was not an official lady.

I didn't expect to get a tip.

"This girl, I have something I want to inquire about." Jiang Zhixia finished giving the purse, so he hurried up and asked.

"Whatever the girl commands, just say it."

The maid held the purse in her hand and weighed it quietly. The purse is heavy, and there is no tinkling sound like a copper plate, so it should be a dime of silver. A dime of silver will be at least a tael. As a result, the joy on her face was even better.

"I love this sponge flower so much. However, he can't take away his wife's favor because he likes it. So I want to ask where I got this flower, and I want to buy some of it. Jiang Zhixia asked with a smile.

"This flower was brought into the mansion by the gardener Uncle Wang and presented to his wife. Why don't the girl go to the corner gate over there, and the maid goes and calls Uncle Wang to come over and ask him to tell the girl? The flower house is just outside the corner gate. ”

The maid also smiled and pointed to a corner door that could be seen at a glance in front of her.

Some young ladies may not be willing to reward people. This inconspicuous girl is generous.

She also saw the scene just now. Madame is going to give it to Miss Jiang, she doesn't want it.

Now, it makes sense for her to want to buy it herself. This is not something to be shy about.

"Thank you for that. Girl, please go and ask someone first. I went to the corner gate. ”

Jiang Zhixia was very happy, knowing that the best way to get cotton was coming, she could go directly to buy seeds and cotton to use.

Cotton is not the same as chili peppers.

Chili pepper is a vegetable that is easy to grow and bears a lot of fruit, so it is not difficult to use it as a seed.

Not to mention, she had also grown chili peppers in her previous life------ although it was more than twenty years ago.

However, cotton is different. The planting method is not so simple, not to mention, she has completely forgotten everything.

However, even so, she also kept an eye on it----- this is in someone's house.

So, she took Xing Ruolan and Xiao Man with her, and casually pointed to a maid from Cheng'an Bo Mansion to follow.

When they arrived at the corner gate, they saw that the maid from before was already standing there with an old man with gray hair.

Seeing them, Jiang Zhixia said that it was not good to delay the affairs of the two maids, and each gave a small purse of 500 yuan, and sent them away.

Only the flower farmers, Jiang Zhixia, Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman were left at the scene.
