Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 267: cotton breeding

Views:

Lian Fangzhou is just an ignorant country girl, why doesn't she know how to flatter her when she sees her right-hand man next to the head of the Zhao family? It's fine if you don't flatter and flatter, and you're not afraid of her at all, and you can use words to run on her at every turn!

I am the lady's confidant, doesn't she know? As long as the young lady moves her fingers, she can't move even Fangzhou in Yuhe County! I really don't know where her confidence comes from!

Seeing her resentment, Zhao San leaned over to laugh with her and whispered, "Miss Magpie, don't be as knowledgeable as this vulgar woman from the countryside! There will be times when she cries in the future! Shall we... go back home first?"

I have to go back to the mansion and report to the lady that the cotton seeds can be planted.

The lady said that there is no need to expand cotton planting, and that the ones on the stall are enough, but after all, she ordered someone to buy a lot of them secretly, and there are a total of 1,600 to 700 catties of seeds in the mansion!

It seems that the young lady is going all out to compete with this girl Lian Fangzhou this time, and I can't ruin her event.

If she knows that she has received the news and delays her return, and doesn't want to report back to her immediately, she will be annoyed.

As for Brother Ah Jian, just come and visit next time!

"Let's go! Go back!" Magpie gritted her teeth, waved her handkerchief and got on the carriage reluctantly.

When Ah Jian and Lian Ze came back with an empty car, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Magpie and Zhao San had already left

Lian Ze said: "Is this really a big girl from someone like Zhao's family? Why are you so shameless! Miss Zhao doesn't care about her, I don't know what she thinks, isn't she afraid of losing her family's face! "

Lian Fangzhou and A Jian glanced at each other unconsciously.

Why doesn't Ms. Zhao care? They naturally knew that it was not for growing cotton!

She is just a girl, and she is not the serious master of the Zhao family. Even if she did something shameless outside, Miss Zhao only needs to put on a sad and benevolent attitude and dispose of her in a high-profile manner, and everyone will only praise her. Her Zhao family has a strict family style and good rules. She only despises a little girl like Magpie. She doesn't know how high the world is, so how can she disgrace her Zhao family

Ah Jian couldn't help coming to Lian Fangzhou's side, and asked in a low voice, "Sent her away so easily?"

That's what I said! Lian Fangzhou suddenly felt tired, turned his head and looked at A Jian with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a low voice: "Are you disappointed? Brother A Jian?"

Hearing the sound of "Brother A Jian", A Jian couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said: "Why! I, I just wonder how easy it is to pass this time..."

Magpie called "Brother Ajian" and he was full of disgust, Lian Fangqing and Lian Che called "Brother Ajian" he listened to, Lian Fangzhou called just now, for some reason, at that moment, his heart seemed to miss a beat, unexpectedly A little panicked.

Therefore, he tried his best to put on a serious look, so as to cover up his apparent discomfort.

Seeing his attitude, Lian Fangzhou felt that she shouldn't speak to him like that, so she slowed down and smiled slightly, and said what happened just now.

Ah Jian suddenly understood, nodded and said: "So that's the case, this is rushing back to report!"

"It's not a secret that can't be told," Lian Fangzhou said with a faint smile, "I won't let them inquire about some things! What about barbed wire?"

"What?" A Jian was taken aback, and said in a daze, "This, isn't it? Just send someone to patrol! This cotton was promoted by the yamen. Who has the guts to destroy it and be arrested?" Living here is a felony!"

Lian Fangzhou is well aware of the importance of these cottons, because they value it too much, so she subconsciously thinks that others also value it, so she said so.

Seeing Ah Jian's reaction, she couldn't help but smile in relief.

That's right, there are countless families who grow cotton, but the number is not as good as hers.

In her eyes, it is expensive, but in the eyes of others, it is just a weed that invades the field! If it was really going to be destroyed, the suspect could count it with a single slap.

"I made a fuss out of a molehill!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and threw the matter away.

Magpie and Zhao San returned to Zhao Mansion, and Magpie rushed to find Zhao Rujun and told about it.

After Zhao Rujun heard this, he didn't have the reaction that the magpie imagined. He just smiled, nodded and said with a smile: "It's true, spring plowing and autumn harvest, isn't this the time for breeding and planting? After all, our family should also prepare for it." !"

"Ah? Yes, Miss..." Needless to say, Magpie looked very disappointed, she thought she would get compliments from Miss.

Zhao Rujun glanced at her, and said unhurriedly: "You did a good job this time, and if you hear anything in the future, remember to come back and tell me as soon as possible! You can find out clearly, that cotton, planted with other people How are the crops different?"

The magpie, whose mood had just been depressed, suddenly lifted her spirits, but the smile on her face froze and disappeared after only half of it appeared. Son. But miss, don’t worry, the servant will always pay attention to that side! If you can’t ask, will the servant not look at it? As long as you see it, the servant will immediately report to the lady!”

"En!" Zhao Rujun nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are not a farmer, even if you look at it, you may not be able to see anything. Besides, it is not convenient for you to step on your embroidered shoes to look into the field. If you can find a reliable Wouldn't it be better for people to inquire about it?"

Find a reliable person to inquire about? Magpie was startled, but immediately understood: Miss is implying that she bribed Lian Fangzhou's subordinates.

Looking at her expression, Zhao Rujun knew that she understood what he meant, and smiled again: "Spend money when it's time to spend, as long as it's worth the money!"

Magpie straightened her waist, as if she had a reliance, and hurriedly knelt down to laugh with her: "Miss, don't worry! This servant understands what to do!"

Zhao Rujun smiled, nodded, and waved her back.

The next day, Lian Fangzhou began to process the cotton seeds.

A total of eight thousand catties of cotton seeds need to be spread out and exposed to the sun for three days. After drying, it is divided into eight times according to one thousand catties at a time.

Soak the seeds in water at 50 or 60 degrees for seven or eight hours to allow the seeds to fully absorb the water.

This work is done in the seed processing room, where there is a specially built long pool with smooth blue bricks on the bottom and walls.

After soaking the seeds, the seeds are drained and packed into sacks, each sack is only half filled. Moved to another room for storage. Then burn four or five large braziers in the house, and use the temperature of the charcoal fire to germinate.

Turn the sack once half a day so that all the seeds are evenly warmed.

Originally, these seeds had to be sterilized once after soaking and before germination, but where did they come from these days for the purpose of sterilizing seeds? Even Fangzhou can do nothing.

When the seeds have basically sprouted, they can be sprinkled into the pre-arranged breeding ground.

There will be an update tomorrow!
