The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 135 The neglected cold-proof artifact
  After Su Chen told the potato yield per mu, the barrage in the live broadcast room disappeared instantly.

Ancient people from all dynasties were immersed in the shock of the potato yield of one hundred stone acres, and had no intention of interacting with the anchor.

After a long time, the barrage flooded the screen again, all filled with everyone's desire to buy.

Cao Cao: Anchor, do you want to buy Tudou now? I can’t wait any longer?

Yang Jian: I don’t know how many potatoes the host has prepared. I’m worried that I won’t be able to grab them.

Li Shimin: I am already ready to rush to buy, so when will the anchor start selling potatoes?
  There were so many barrages that everyone wanted to buy potatoes.

Su Chen had already guessed that this would be the case, so he wasn't too surprised.

Faced with the enthusiasm of ancient people from all dynasties, Su Chen could only pretend to appease everyone and told them not to act too hastily.

"The sales will start soon. Don't be anxious. The anchor will start selling the remaining crop seeds as soon as he introduces them."

"The next cotton is also very important. Don't miss it. The anchor will first show you what cotton is."

Su Chen found Mian Mian's short video and quickly played it for everyone to watch.

A cotton seed is planted, takes root, sprouts, and grows vigorously. The branches grow higher and higher, and do not stop growing until they reach the chest of an adult.

Then I saw fruits growing from the side branches one after another. When they matured, the fruits bloomed, and the clusters of snow-white cotton were really beautiful.

After the video was played, most of the ancient people from all dynasties looked at each other. This is the cotton that the anchor values ​​​​so much!

Some well-informed ancients were even more surprised. Isn't this cotton just white cotton? What's so surprising about this?

Li Shimin: Later generations called Baidiezi cotton. Baidiezi is really soft, so it is appropriate to call it cotton.

Zhao Kuangyin: Cotton is planted in the back garden of the palace every year. It is really beautiful when it is in full bloom. The cotton is just for viewing. According to the anchor, I don’t know what uses cotton has, and it is still a very important use.

Zhu Yuanzhang: We are most familiar with cotton. Two years ago, we ordered it to be widely planted across the country!
  Speaking of which, he discovered the use of cotton by accident.

Two years ago, while strolling in his back garden, he suddenly noticed the blooming cotton.

He has been a farmer since he was a child and often works with crops. The moment he saw snow-white cotton, he realized that cotton has immeasurable value.

It was also from that time that he promoted cotton, which was originally used for ornamental purposes, to be widely planted across the country.

In the past two years, cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, and quilts made of cotton began to appear.

Now the anchor focused on cotton, and he immediately understood the anchor's intention.

He couldn't help but be curious. The yield of Daming cotton per mu was less than one stone, but he didn't know how much cotton the anchor could produce per mu.

The ancient people before the Ming Dynasty were all puzzled. There was cotton in their era, and most wealthy families would plant some in their back gardens. They did not understand the purpose of the anchor's emphasis on cotton.

The ancients after the Ming Dynasty suddenly realized and understood the meaning of the anchor in an instant.

The importance of cotton is self-evident. Wearing clothes made of cotton can keep you warm and you don’t have to worry about freezing to death in the cold winter.

Su Chen was not surprised at all when he saw that everyone recognized Mian Mian immediately.

Cotton was introduced to China very early, but everyone regarded cotton as an ordinary ornamental flower.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally discovered the thermal insulation use of cotton.

From then on, cotton began to be valued by the people. In ancient winter, because ordinary people were poor and had nothing to keep out the cold, they had no choice but to fight against the cold weather.

If you can't resist it, you'll just freeze to death. It's very common for people to freeze to death in the winter.

But even though the Ming Dynasty promoted cotton, many people still couldn't afford it.

Just because the cotton yield in Daming was only about 80 kilograms per mu, the price was naturally high for such a low yield.

"I believe everyone has recognized what cotton is. The use of cotton has been ignored by everyone."

"In our later generations, cotton has been closely related to people's lives and is inseparable. Many of the clothes people wear are made of cotton."

"Cotton has very good thermal insulation properties. It is perfect for making cotton coats, cotton trousers, and cotton quilts to prevent the cold in winter."

"The cotton sold by anchors and others is a high-yielding variety developed by experts from the Academy of Sciences. The yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms."

Su Chen's words made many ancient people stunned and surprised.

In everyone's mind, cotton is for viewing and entertainment.

Now according to what the anchor said, cotton can also be used to make clothes to keep out the cold and keep warm.

Many people were very excited when they thought of this.

They often see cotton in the wild and didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Now that we know the uses of cotton, everyone's minds are instantly active.

If we can get more cotton, the cold in winter will no longer be terrible, and we no longer have to worry about freezing to death in the middle of winter.

Li Shimin: I really didn’t expect that an ordinary cotton flower could have such an important role. I had never discovered it before.

Zhao Xu: After being reminded by the anchor, it seems that this is really the case. I have carefully observed cotton before, and it seems that the balls of cotton can indeed be spun into cloth, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Great, the yield per mu is 500 kilograms, which is more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty can grow this kind of high-yielding cotton, it won’t be long before the people of the Ming Dynasty can wear warm cotton clothes and no longer have to worry about being quilted. so cold.

"In addition to these staple food seeds, the anchor also prepared hundreds of vegetable seeds and fruit seeds."

"We have prepared some common vegetable seeds, the most noteworthy of which is pepper. It tastes very spicy and stimulates the taste buds. If you eat it in winter, you can ward off the cold."

"Lettuce, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, chives, garlic, ginger, radish, onion, eggplant, beans, pumpkin, cucumber, etc."

"There are more than 100 kinds of fruits, including apples, pears, tangerines, peaches, oranges, bananas, pineapples, lychees, grapes, watermelons, etc. These seeds are all high-yielding seeds developed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Su Chen introduced and showed pictures to everyone so that everyone can intuitively experience the fruits and vegetables.

Ancient people from all dynasties were drooling when they saw such rich fruits and vegetables, many of which they had never seen before.

Of course, compared to these fruits and vegetable seeds, everyone is still more willing to grab high-yielding staple food seeds.

Seeing that everyone has almost finished the discussion, Su Chen is about to start selling goods.

"Okay, now that all the crop seeds have been introduced, the next step is the sales process."
