Chapter 512 Playing cotton (three more)

"I can do it now." Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows and said, looking at Lian Haitang and the others.

"I have time right now, so I do a little bit every day." Lian Haitang looked at her with big beautiful eyes and said.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Ye Sanniang pursed her lips and looked at her and said.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I don't know how happy I am to be able to do something for you." Lian Haitang looked at her happily and said.

"Aunt Ye, let us do it!" Ying Shanhong looked at her without blinking and said.

"Okay! Alright! Do you need me to do anything?" Ye Sanniang looked at them eagerly and said with a smile.

"The cotton has to be dried. Today we have to remove the seeds first." Lian Haitang looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Prepare a room with two tables for the Eight Immortals, and we will get the rest."

"Okay, let's prepare." Ye Sanniang said cheerfully.

"I've calculated how many kilos this cotton-padded coat and quilt will cost. The price for the imperial court's purchase has also come down. You can keep it!" Ying Shanhong said, looking at her with bright eyes.

"Then there is a little surplus, and the rest will be sold." Ye Sanniang looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Anyway, we will plant them next year!"

"Will there be less?" Lian Haitang asked with concern.

"No! I'm afraid the price won't be able to go up in the future. In the first year, I sold everything except for my own use." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with her jet-black pupils.

"Why?" Zhu Banguo looked at her suspiciously and asked.

"Because there are too many people planting!" Ye Sanniang said, looking at them softly.

"Things are rare and precious." Lian Haitang looked at her with watery eyes and said.

"That's right." Ye Sanniang looked at them with pearly eyes and said, stood up and said, "You guys wait, I'll have someone bring the cotton over, it's ready to dry."

Gao Mancang and Laifu brought two big sacks of cotton and put them on the clean kang.

Ye Sanniang and the others were very curious about removing the seeds. They stood in front of the kang and watched Lian Haitang and the others remove the seeds.

"Keep these seeds and plant them next year." Lian Haitang put the seeds in the basket.

"I still need to study this cottonseed, study it." Ye Sanniang looked at the black spots of cottonseed, which were slightly bigger than sesame seeds.

"What are you going to study?" Ye Yanxing looked at her suspiciously and said.

"Research on seeds and cultivate more efficient seeds, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, and no bugs...It can also grow in barren land." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with deep and penetrating eyes.

"Can this also be studied?" Ye Yanxing looked at her with question marks and said.

"Why not? Whether the crops grow well or not, we must first start from the seeds. If the seeds are not good, can you expect them to grow into towering trees?" Ye Sanniang looked at them with raised eyebrows and said.

"I seem to understand a little bit." Ye Yanxing looked at her with dark eyes and said worriedly, "Is this difficult?"

"So it takes time to study!" Ye Sanniang looked at them with warm eyes like jade and said, "This is not something that can be done overnight."

But with digital analysis, it is easier.

It's better than not having any instruments and having no way to start.

It seems that further development is needed for this tasteless golden finger.

Not as bad as imagined!

"Let's try too." Shen Ruyi looked at Lian Haitang and the others who were picking up the cotton seeds and said.

Shen Ruyi took a cotton flower, pinched it, and found a hard object, then pulled it apart to take out the cotton seeds and said with a smile, "There are so many cottons, there are too many seeds, enough for Miss to study."

"Do it! Don't look at it." Ye Sanniang looked at them with bright eyes and said.

It's fast if we all do it together.

It's just that it's too late, and it won't work after a while, and the sky is getting dark.

Ye Sanniang asked Gao Mancang and Laifu to send Lian Haitang and the others back home.

Now Ye Sanniang and the others had something to do during the day, drying cotton in the yard and collecting cotton seeds.

"This is cotton plucking!" Zheyuan watched in amazement as Lian Haitang and the others plucked the cotton into a whole.

"Spread the quilt in this way, quilt inside, sew it up, and it will be warm under the cover." Zhu Banguo said, gesturing with his fingers.

"You...you have tried." Ye Sanniang said in surprise.

"No, but we have finished the finished product. It feels soft and light." Ying Shanhong looked at them with a smile and said.

"It's really light." Zhe Yuan stretched out his hand to the bottom and weighed it, and praised, "Seeing the real thing, no wonder Sanniang is full of praise, it's really a good thing."

"How about we make the quilt first?" Zheyuan Taohua looked at Ye Sanniang with sparkling eyes and said, "The current quilt is too heavy to cover."

"Listen to you." Ye Sanniang replied with a smile.

"This method of picking cotton doesn't seem to be difficult. Let's try it during the day, so we don't have to bother Haitang and the others. After finishing the work, we come here to continue doing it." Shen Ruyi said, turning her phoenix eyes to look at her.

"Then try it during the day." Lian Haitang looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Don't worry at first, it's normal that you can't improve your speed."

"Understood, understood." Shen Ruyi smiled and nodded.

"Have you been doing this all the time?" Ye Sanniang watched as Zhu Banguo picked up the cotton that fell from the table of the Eight Immortals onto the straw mat.

"Since the cotton came out, I have been working." Zhu Banguo looked at her with bright eyes and said, "This is a lot of money, much more than making clothes."

"Yeah!" Ying Shanhong nodded sharply as she looked at her with crescent-shaped eyebrows.

"It's just a pity that this quilt can only be used this time." Zhu Banguo said pitifully.

"Why?" Dangui asked curiously.

"It's impossible for this quilt to be replaced every year!" Ying Shanhong frowned slightly and said worriedly, "I won't be able to earn any money."

Zhu Banguo looked at them with a sigh and said, "This cotton core can be used for many years, and the cover can last for a lifetime."

"Make a quilt!" Ye Sanniang said while looking at them with light eyes.

Zhu Banguo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he said, "This plucking cotton is not bad, if you like it, I will do it myself. This quilt, I am much better at embroidery than I am."

"Uh..." Ye Sanniang crossed her eyebrows with her index finger when she heard the words. She had forgotten that this was the era of small peasant economy and self-sufficiency.

There is no technical content in playing cotton, you can learn it just by looking at it, it is nothing more than doing it slower by yourself.

Moreover, the rich family has embroiderers, and even the handmaids of the maids are good.

Even Haitang and the others' embroidery skills are really underestimated.

It's really difficult!Ye Sanniang's amber pupils swirled slightly in her heart.

"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality." Ye Yanxing looked at them with black grape-like eyes and said, "This is a downward trend. The first one must earn the most."

"The mind is at peace." Ye Luoxing looked at them with wide eyes and said, "The water flows slowly."
