Chapter 512: Playing Cotton (Three Watches)
"I can." Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at Lian Haitang and said.
"I just have time at this time, and I do a little bit every day." Lian Haitang's beautiful big eyes looked at her and said.
"What's so embarrassing?" Ye Sanniang pursed her lips and looked at her and said.
"What's so embarrassing about this, I can do something for you, I don't know how happy I am." Lian Haitang looked at her happily and said.
"Aunt Ye, just let us do it!" Ying Shanhong looked at her without blinking and said.
"Alright! All right! Is there anything I need to do? Ye Sanniang looked at them eagerly and said with a smile.
"The cotton has to be dried, and we have to remove the seeds today." Lian Haitang's sparkling eyes looked at her and said, "Prepare a room, two tables for the Eight Immortals, and let's get the rest." ”
"Okay, we're ready." Ye Sanniang said briskly.
"I've calculated the number of pounds needed for this cotton coat and quilt. The price of the imperial court purchase also fell. You watch and stay! Ying Shanhong looked at her with bright eyes and said.
"Then a little bit more and sell the rest." Ye Sanniang looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Anyway, I'll plant next year!" ”
"Will there be less left?" Lian Haitang asked with concern.
"Nope! I'm afraid that this price won't go up in the future. In the first year, except for personal use, the rest was sold. Ye Sanniang's dark pupils looked at them and said.
"Why?" Zhu Banguo looked at her suspiciously and asked.
"Because there are more people planting!" Ye Sanniang looked at them softly and said.
"Scarcity is expensive." Lian Haitang's watery eyes looked at her and said.
"That's right." Ye Sanniang looked at them with pearl-like eyes and said, stood up and said, "You wait, I'll let someone bring the cotton over, and it's already been dried." ”
Gao Mancang and Laifu brought two bags of cotton and put them on a clean kang.
For the seeding, Ye Sanniang and the others were very curious, standing in front of the kang and watching Lian Haitang and them remove the seeds.
"Keep this seed and plant it next year." Even the begonias put the seeds in the basket.
"I still have to study this cottonseed, study it." Ye Sanniang looked at the black and black cottonseeds, which were slightly larger than sesame seeds.
"What is this going on?" Ye Yanxing looked at her suspiciously and said.
"Research seeds, cultivate more efficient seeds, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, and no insects...... It can also grow on poor land. Ye Sanniang looked at them with deep and thorough eyes and said.
"Can this also be studied?" Ye Yanxing looked at her with a question mark on his face and said.
"Why not? Whether this crop grows well or not, first of all, it must start with the seed, and if the seed is not good, can you expect it to grow into a towering tree? Ye Sanniang looked at them lightly and said.
"I seem to understand something." Ye Yanxing looked at her with dark eyes and said, "This is difficult, right?" ”
"So it's time to study!" Ye Sanniang's warm eyes looked at them and said, "This is not something that can be done overnight. ”
But it's easier to analyze it digitally.
It's better than having no instruments and no way to start.
It seems that for this chicken-like golden finger, further development is needed.
It's not as bad as it seems!
"Let's try too." Shen Ruyi looked at Lian Haitang who was taking cotton seeds.
Shen Ruyi took a piece of cotton, pinched it, pinched it and found a hard object, then pulled it open and took out the cotton seeds and smiled, "So much cotton, there are many seeds, enough for Miss to study." ”
"Let's do it! Don't even look at it. Ye Sanniang looked at them with bright eyes and said.
It's fast for everyone to do it together.
It's just that it's too late, and it won't be done after a while, and it's getting dark.
Ye Sanniang asked Gao Mancang and Laifu to send Lian Haitang and them home.
At this moment, Ye Sanniang and they have something to do during the day, and they are drying cotton in the yard and taking cotton seeds.
"This is playing cotton!" The kite looked at Lian Haitang in amazement, and they bounced the cotton flowers into a whole.
"Spread the quilt in this way, the quilt inside, sew it up, and cover it to be warm." Zhu Banguo gestured with his fingers and said.
"You ...... You've tried. Ye Sanniang said in surprise.
"No, but we've made the finished product. It is soft to the touch and lightweight. Ying Shanhong looked at them with a smile and said.
"It's really light." The kite stretched out his hand to the bottom and said, "Seeing the real thing, no wonder Sanniang is full of praise, this is indeed a good thing." ”
"How about we make a quilt first?" The peach blossom eyes of the folding kite looked at Ye Sanniang with sparkling eyes and said, "The current mattress is too heavy to cover." ”
"Listen to you." Ye Sanniang replied with a smile.
"This technique of playing cotton doesn't seem to be difficult, let's try it during the day, so we don't have to trouble the begonias and them, and after finishing the work, I specially came to continue to do it." Shen Ruyi's phoenix eyes turned to look at her and said.
"Then you can try it during the day." Lian Haitang looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Don't worry at first, it's normal that the speed can't be improved." ”
"Understood, understood." Shen Ruyi smiled and nodded.
"Have you been doing this?" Ye Sanniang watched Zhu Banguo pick up the cotton that fell from the Eight Immortals Table onto the straw mat.
"It's been working since the cotton came down." Zhu Banguo looked at her with bright eyes and said, "This is a lot of money, and it makes more money than making clothes." ”
"Uh-huh!" Ying Shan's red eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons, looked at her and nodded violently.
"It's just a pity that this quilt can only be dried this once." Zhu Banguo said pitifully.
"Why?" Dangui asked curiously.
"This quilt can't be built new every year!" Ying Shanhong frowned lightly and said worriedly, "I won't be able to make money." ”
Zhu Banguo sighed lightly and looked at them and said, "This cotton core can be used for many years, and it will be built for a lifetime." ”
"Make a happy quilt!" Ye Sanniang's eyes lit up lightly, looking at them and said.
Zhu Banguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said, "This cotton is okay, it's good to be made by others." This quilt, people's embroidery work is much better than mine. ”
"Uh......" Ye Sanniang heard her index finger cross her eyebrows, she forgot that this was the era of small-scale peasant economy and self-sufficiency.
This cotton has no technical content, just look at it and learn it, it's just that you can do it slower.
And there are embroidery girls in large families, and even the craftsmanship of the maid is good.
Even the begonias and their embroidery skills are really not looked down upon.
It's really hard to do! Ye Sanniang's amber pupils swirled slightly, and she sneered in her heart.
"It's hard to go from luxury to frugality." Ye Yanxing looked at them with black grape-like eyes and said, "This is originally a downward trend, and the first one will definitely earn the most." ”
"I'm at peace." Ye Luoxing looked at them with big eyes and said, "The water flows for a long time." ”
