No matter how far the road is, there is a time to go, even if Jiang Lili is reluctant, the two of them have reached the 10th team.

Still on the river embankment, Chen Fan saw that Team 10 was different from other teams.

He has been to six squads, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, except for the 5th team, which is the brigade headquarters and has a brick house, the other squads are almost all mud-walled houses, but the scale is different.

The largest team is 5 teams, with 53 households including brick houses, and the smallest is 9 teams, with only 29 households, and the 47 houses in 6 teams are the most except for 5 teams.

However, although there are many houses, they are all ordinary houses, except for one livestock shed that is slightly larger.

At the entrance of the village of Team 10, there is a flat land the size of nearly 3 basketball courts, which is relatively rare in Lujiawan.

On the east and west sides of the flat land, there is a long row of brick houses, which is another big difference.

Jiang Lili stood beside him, pointed to the two rows of brick houses and said, "The west side is the oil mill and the mill, and the east side is the purchase station, the sales point and the cotton mill. ”

Chen Fan looked over there condescendingly, "Heh, it's quite magnificent." ”

After a pause, he asked puzzledly, "I seem to remember that these side jobs are not all placed near the team headquarters, why is Lujiawan so far away from the team headquarters?" ”

Jiang Lili smiled and said, "I also heard that when I wanted to do a side job, Captain Xiao said that if the side business was placed in the team headquarters, the team in the south would be fine, but the team in the north would be hard, and it would take more than two hours to come and more than two hours to go back, which is really unreasonable."

But if it is placed in the middle, the south can go to the commune, anyway, it is close to the commune, it won't be long, and the north can also walk less, Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang agreed with his words, and finally set at 10 teams. ”

Chen Fan nodded suddenly, "It is indeed a good leader who thinks about the people." ”

In fact, several of the brigade headquarters are not even cadres, but they are much better than many leading cadres in later generations.

The two went down the slope on the river embankment, and before they could enter the village, two dogs ran out to look at them, Jiang Lili suddenly tensed, and stared at the dog without blinking.

Chen Fan glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's okay, there is me." ”

Immediately did not bark, and teased the dog a few times, the dog straightened his neck and was stunned, the tail behind him flicked up, and slowly turned around and ran back.

Jiang Lili looked at him with amazement on her face, "You are so powerful, I don't dare to move when I see a dog." ”

Chen Fan laughed, carrying the burden and walking in, "If you meet a dog by yourself, it will stare at you and not let go, you can also do this'Boom', the tip of the tongue against the root of the tooth below to make a sound, this is the sound of teasing dogs, indicating that I like them very much, and it is very effective for big dogs, small dogs, domestic dogs, and strange dogs." ”

Jiang Lili followed him, "Really? ”

Chen Fan hurriedly said, "If it doesn't work, it's probably a vicious dog, you have to quickly find something to grab in your hand, if the dog rushes over, you will immediately beat it hard." ”

Jiang Lili nodded seriously, "Mmmm, I know." ”

After a while, he walked to the apron, Chen Fan looked left and right, and then walked to the cotton mill.

The two rows of brick houses are estimated to be more than 20 meters long, and they are divided into three rooms, the oil mill and mill on the left, the other is the warehouse, and the right is the purchasing station, the sales point and the cotton mill.

How do you know?

The sign hanging at the door reads.

Walking into the cotton mill, there is a cotton gin, with more wood parts than iron parts, and it looks very old.

But there was no one here, Chen Fan turned his head and saw that there was still a room inside.

He put his burden in the corner of the wall and continued to walk inside, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw a large wooden bed about two meters by two meters, a roll of white cotton net hung on the opposite wall, and on the wall in the back were tools such as cotton bows and hammers, and there was a long table with three drawers on the side of the partition wall.

A man was sitting at the table with his eyes closed, and when he heard a movement at the door, he slowly opened his eyes, then yawned, looked at the two and asked, "Cotton popping or ginning?" ”

We all know what it is, that is, we can use a cotton bow to make the lint fluffier, and then you can make quilts and jackets.

Cotton ginning is to separate the cotton seeds from the cotton fibers through rolling, and the separated cotton fibers are lint.

Chen Fan pointed to the burden outside, and said with a smile, "Hello master, I'm here to play cotton and make a few beds of cotton wool." ”

The man got up and walked to the door, looked at the cotton in the basket, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Are you afraid that you have twenty or thirty pounds?" ”

Usually people come to make cotton wool, all with four or six catties of lint, and he has five or six times more baskets than others, can you not be surprised?

Chen Fan smiled, "There is a bit of cotton, so I will play it together." ”

The man raised his head to look at him, and then looked at Jiang Lili, who was a little restrained next to him, and rolled his eyes twice, "You are that educated youth, right?" ”

Jiang Lili nodded slightly, "Well, hello." ”

The man looked at Chen Fan again, and his face suddenly changed, "Aren't you Master Chen?" ”

Chen Fan blinked, "You know me?" ”

When the man heard this, he immediately smiled, "Ouch, it's really you." ”

immediately explained, "Now there are not many people in Lujiawan who don't know you, and they all say that you are a good person." ”

I?

Great good guys?

Chen Fan had an embarrassed smile on his face, "No, no." ”

If this is put decades later, when you meet and say that people are good people, I really don't know whether you are praising or scolding.

It was not easy to talk about this topic, so he turned to ask, "Master, what is your surname?" ”

The man smiled and said, "My surname is Huang, I am a bomber here, and I also manage the cotton gin, you can just call me Lao Huang." ”

Chen Fan greeted again, "Master Huang." ”

The yellow cotton craftsman smiled and said, "Master Chen, is this going to make cotton wool?" ”

Chen Fan, "Ah, yes, there are thirty catties of cotton here, all of which have to be made into cotton wool, how long can you see how long it can be done?" ”

The yellow cotton maker said without thinking, "It depends on how many catties it takes." ”

Chen Fan immediately looked at Jiang Lili.

How did he know how many pounds of quilts to make?

Jiang Lili let out an "oh" and hurriedly said, "Just make 4 catties and 6 catties of quilts." ”

The yellow cotton craftsman looked at the basket, "I'm afraid there are 30 catties here?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "It's exactly 30 catties." ”

"That's a total of 6 beds, today is Monday, you can come and get it on Thursday." ”

It's a Sunday, and Thursday is definitely fine.

Chen Fan nodded, "Okay." ”

After a pause, he asked, "How much is that?" ”

The yellow cotton craftsman raised his head and smiled, "2 cents a catty, a total of 6 yuan." This is a public fee, and I can't waive your account, but I can assure you that I will definitely use the best cotton net to help you make the cotton wool. ”

Chen Fan hurriedly bowed his hand, "Thank you, thank you, this is very good." ”

Jiang Lili took out the prepared money and handed it to him, Chen Fan took it and handed it to the yellow cotton craftsman, who couldn't help but feel a little strange in his eyes when he saw this scene.

But he didn't say much, took the money and walked to the long table, opened the drawer and threw it in, took out a stack of receipts, opened it and took a copy of carbon paper and put it in, and wrote a receipt.

Keep the original order, tear off the copy sheet and hand it to Chen Fan, "Master Chen, you can take this list to pick up the goods when the time comes." ”

Chen Fan took it with a smile and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Jiang Lili thought of something and said softly, "Master Huang, this quilt is what Master Chen and Master Chen are going to sell on the market, so it's not easy to write his name." ”

Chen Fan's eyes were stunned, and the name was written on the cotton wool?

What do you mean?

When the yellow cottonsmith heard this, he nodded and smiled, "Got it." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and said with a smile, "Then I'll write you a double 'Xi', everyone likes it." ”

Chen Fan arched his hand with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble." ”

The yellow cotton craftsman waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a lot of effort." ”

Coming out of the cotton mill, Chen Fan looked at Jiang Lili puzzled, "What does cotton wool mean when writing?" ”

Jiang Lili smiled and whispered, "It is to use colored cotton threads to make the shape of words on the cotton wool, and then cover the cotton net to fix it, which is equivalent to marking the cotton wool." ”

Chen Fan suddenly suddenly, "So it can still be like this?!" ”
