Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

Chapter 193 Cotton
Cui Youxiong was shocked, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the two juniors, so he moved his hands down calmly, wrapped them around the bottom of the box, and tried his best to lift it up, but still didn't lift it up.

Just when he was extremely surprised and embarrassed by this, Zheng Siyi said speechlessly from the side: "What are you two adults doing?"

As she spoke, she called a palace attendant casually and said, "Go get a small forklift."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Cui Youxiong and Shui Hanzhou, who were standing awkwardly against the wall, and said, "The female officer exam is a major event every three years for the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau, so it's impossible not to be fully prepared.

As the examiners, the two adults have good intentions to help each other, but once it is confirmed, the impact on the examinees will be devastating. Please, the two adults, please go to the position as soon as possible with the subordinate officials. "

While Zheng Siyi was speaking, Shui Hanzhou and Cui Youxiong saw that the palace servant whom Zheng Siyi had summoned just now brought a strange four-wheeled cart.

The trolley as a whole is welded together by several iron rods to form a frame.

The wheels are small, the board is almost only ankle height, and two half-foot-long iron forks protrude from the front of the board.

The car board is composed of many logs that are strung up with iron rods side by side.

Two upward circular iron rods are welded to the rear of the vehicle board as handrails.

The palace man walked up to the two wooden boxes, put the iron fork of the trolley against the bottom of the box, and pushed the armrest forward. The two boxes were rolled onto the forklift under the rolling of logs.

The palace man pushed the things on the cart and turned to the second examination room. He smiled and said to Jiang Baoyu: "The practical examination can only bring two personal materials at most. Candidates should come with me for the record."

After speaking, she took Jiang Baoyu away.

Shui Hanzhou and Cui Youxiong looked at each other, coughed lightly, but they all looked at the forklift in the hands of the palace man.

One said: "I didn't expect that the women in the palace would have such ingenuity, and they could take such a heavy object like a bag? If it can be applied to military affairs—"

Another said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Weak women and children need these things. Our Dayan soldiers are all strong and strong. How can we need these things?"

Although Cui Youxiong said so, he still couldn't help but look at the thing again, thinking that he must ask someone to study it after he goes back, but he can't ask the kid from the Shui family to snatch the plan away.

The two threw off their sleeves and went to their seats in the second examination room in two ways.

Jiang Baoyu was completely unaware of their argument, and at the moment the two clerks in charge of filing private materials opened her box and checked the contents.

Because the two boxes were about to be opened, a palace official came up to take down the top box, but they didn't.

Jiang Baoyu was a little embarrassed, "It is indeed a bit heavy."

So he opened the box, took out the contents one by one, and placed them on the table.

The clerks were instantly dumbfounded.

It turns out that the whole box is full of food. In order to keep fresh, everything is stored in the special container of Mingyuelou, and there are even three wine jars. The food added up is almost three to five days for two normal little maids. appetite.

Seeing that Shui Hanzhou was already sitting on the examiner's seat, he couldn't help but chuckled, shook his head and said, "As expected of her."

Cui Youxiong laughed even more.

"No wonder it's so heavy. It's thanks to this girl who figured it out. After so many years, she can bear anything, but she can't bear being hungry."

Shui Hanzhou tilted his head and glanced at Cui Youxiong, the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became.

He hates all information related to his childhood sweetheart.

Seeing the clerks frowning at the three "wine jars", Jiang Baoyu took the initiative to open one.

"It's plum juice."

While speaking, there was a hint of refreshing sweetness emanating from the jar, which made the surrounding hot air much cooler.

"My assistant, the little maid, has not been with me for long, and she doesn't know my tastes. I'm also not used to the food in the small dining hall. Food is not considered as an assessment material, so I can bring it in by myself, right?"

The clerks carefully checked the contents of the box, and seeing that there were indeed no clothing materials, they ignored the contents of this box and turned to look at the contents of the second box.

When I opened it, I found that it was a piece of soft white flowers, like silk, but it felt soft but not smooth, and it was different from silk.It is somewhat similar to kapok.

"This is?" a clerk subconsciously asked.

"It's cotton."

Jiang Baoyu replied with a smile, "It is the main material I will use later."

To say that she discovered that cotton can be used to make clothes is also a very accidental opportunity.

When she was seven years old, she went to Yanmen Pass with Uncle Yongfu to do business with the Zhao people, and she happened to see a kind of small flower raised by the people there. It was white and soft, and it felt good to the touch.

Jiang Baoyu wanted to bring back a few plants for research, but Yong Fubo did not agree.

"Flowers are not fragrant, and vegetables are not edible, so what's the use of raising these fruits?

Our father and I traveled here to do business, how much money does it cost for the horse team alone, and we have to give you a horse alone?Can you do something serious? "

Jiang Baoyu was young at the time, so he didn't think much about it, so he didn't bring it back.

It wasn't until I read the content recorded in an ancient book the year before last that I realized that this thing can be used to make clothes, which are soft and skin-friendly, warm and non-flammable.

She immediately wrote to Uncle Yong Fu, asking him to go to Yanmen Pass to find the seeds of this flower and plant them on a large scale, which may be useful in the future.

After two years, the cotton field of Uncle Yongfu has also ushered in a bumper harvest. This year, a lot of cotton has just been harvested, and it was just sent to the mansion of Uncle Yongfu, the capital of God, last month.

In the past two years, Jiang Baoyu often experimented with the cotton sent by Yongfu Bo's mansion, and found that it really has many advantages and can be used in many places. He is thinking of finding an opportunity to promote it in Jiang's shop first.

So the moment Jiang Baoyu saw the test questions, she just felt that God was helping her.

The clerk glanced at the box again, and didn't feel that these unfamiliar things could really be used to make clothes, but Jiang Baoyu wanted to bring cotton in, which did not violate the examination rules, so he didn't say anything, and wrote down in his notebook: : "Candidate Jiang Baoyu, bring a box of cotton."

After writing this, she saw that Jiang Baoyu hadn't registered the basic materials selected in the field, so she glanced at the almost empty material shelf again, and kindly reminded Jiang Baoyu: "Candidates can bring up to two personal materials to enter the practical examination. , there are no good materials on the material shelf at the moment.

If you need to choose another personal material, there is still time to get it now, otherwise you will not be able to go out after entering the practical examination later. "

Jiang Baoyu had already packed the boxes, for convenience, she turned the two boxes upside down and said while holding on to the handle of the forklift: "No need, please help the little girl to write down the two pieces of Bamboo. "

　Bamboo: kapok cloth dyed with variegated colors.

　　Kapok: This kapok is not a narrow sense of kapok, referring to poplar catkins, willow catkins, kapok catkins and other cotton wool that grow on trees.Cotton began to be widely planted in the Central Plains in the middle and late Song Dynasty. Before that, poor people used kapok to fill their clothes to keep warm.The cotton trousers that Shui Lige and the emperor wore before were also made of kapok.
