Farmhouse blessed wife is charming and beautiful

Chapter 147 Chapter 147: Feeling at Home (3000 words)
Qin Dashan left in response, and quickly brought two baskets of cotton seeds to Shen Qingcheng.

"Please don't worry, little lady, the cotton in my house is all good quality, and the cotton seeds are full if the cotton is good."

Shen Qingcheng first estimated the weight of the two baskets of cottonseed.

The Qin family's baskets are a bit big, and they are well packed. The two baskets of cottonseed should add up to more than 150 catties.

She bent down and reached out to grab a handful of cottonseeds from the basket to have a look. It was indeed full of grains as Qin Dashan said, and there was no mold.

"There are a total of 140 Wen here, 120 Wen is handmade money for flipping quilts, and [-] Wen is money for buying cotton seeds."

After looking at the goods, Shen Qingcheng was very satisfied, and took out a pocket sewn with old cloth from her padded jacket with a cheerful face, took out a bunch of copper coins from the pocket, counted 140 coins, and handed it to Qin Zhushi.

Qin Zhushi took 140 Wenqing and counted it again, with a smile on his face, pleasantly surprised that the cotton seeds can still be sold for money.

"Little lady, do you want cotton seeds in the future? If you need them, I will keep them for you. I can stock up two baskets in three or four months."

What you want to bake the scallion pancakes is cooking oil, and Shen Qingcheng was delighted when she heard it, but Ying Qin Zhushi with a calm face said: "If you want it, then please trouble the proprietress to store up the cotton seeds and put them in a dry place. I will come back after a while." Take it once."

"It's done."

Qin Zhushi was very happy in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of Shen Qingcheng.

When Shen Shi was approaching, Jun Wulan drove the carriage to the outside of Qin's quilt shop.

When Shen Qingcheng heard the movement, she subconsciously went out with a smile on her face.

Seeing her coming out to meet her, Jun Wulan quickly tied up the carriage and walked towards her with a small bag of things.

"I've been waiting here for a long time, is it cold?"

"It's not cold, the proprietress has kindly made a brazier for me to bake."

Jun Wulan shook Shen Qingcheng's hand, and when she felt her warm palm, she smiled and led her to Qin's shop.

"Is the quilt ready?"

Shen Qingcheng replied: "I've already played two sets, and the third set is under pressure, and it should be ready soon."

"Brother Jun, let me tell you something."

Shen Qingcheng's tone paused for a moment, hearing her squeak, Jun Wulan turned her face and glanced at her: "What's the matter?"

"I spent twenty Wen to buy two baskets of cotton seeds from Boss Qin."

After all, cotton seeds are useless in the eyes of people in this world. At this time when money is short, Shen Qingcheng spent [-] Wen to buy cotton seeds without discussing with Jun Wulan, and she was somewhat worried about Jun Wulan. Lan will blame.

Jun Wulan said: "If you buy it, you will buy it. What are you so nervous about?"

Seeing Shen Qingcheng frowning slightly nervously, Jun Wulan thought she was cute, and looked at the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Shen Qingcheng said: "Don't you think I'm wasting money?"

"You have a reason for spending money on cotton seeds."

Seeing that Jun Wulan had no intention of blaming herself, Shen Qingcheng was not only relieved, but also very happy.

When she crossed the threshold, she whispered to Jun Wulan: "I'll tell you why I bought cotton seeds later on the way home."

The couple waited together at the quilt shop for about a quarter of an hour, and the three sets of quilts were finally flipped.

Qin Zhu couldn't put it down as he touched the quilt that had just been turned over, and said with a smile on his face: "After flipping out this old quilt, it turned out to be as white as the new quilt, and the softness to the touch is no different from the new quilt. .”

While chatting, Qin Zhushi tied the three sets of quilts that had been turned over today with hemp rope and asked Jun Wulan to get them.

"Big brother, little lady, I'll read the remaining three sets for you tomorrow, and you can come and pick them up at this time tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you, lady boss."

Jun Wulan thanked Qin Zhushi briefly, and first carried three sets of quilts into the carriage.

Shen Qingcheng looked worried at the two baskets of cotton seeds placed in the shop.

Today I came to flip the quilts, and I didn’t bring a basket to carry things. If I want to get these cotton seeds back, I can only borrow the baskets from the cotton shop. I don’t know if the proprietress is willing to borrow them.

"Boss, my husband and I didn't take the baskets out today, so I'm afraid I have to borrow these two baskets from your house to bring these cotton seeds home. When we come to pick up the quilts tomorrow afternoon, we will return the two baskets. Come."

"Thanks to your help, little lady, Xiao Shan wrote the notice and posted it. It's just a borrowed basket for a night. It's a trivial matter."

Qin Zhushi readily agreed, and asked his man to help: "Dashan, help the elder brother to carry these two baskets of cotton seeds into the car. It is getting late, so that the elder brother and the young lady can go home quickly."

With Qin Dashan's help, Jun Wulan quickly finished loading the car.

Three sets of fluffy quilts, two baskets full of cotton seeds, half of the cart was filled.

Shen Qingcheng and Jun Wulan sat back to back on the cart, holding the fluffy and soft quilt with both hands, full of joy of harvest.

"Brother Jun, there is a fluffy quilt covered tonight, we can have a good sleep."

Jun Wulan responded first, then turned her back to Shen Qingcheng and said, "I have slept pretty well these two nights."

"Is that so?"

Jun Wulan obviously didn't say anything ambiguous and provocative, but Shen Qingcheng's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

She subconsciously guessed that it was because she slept with her that she slept well these two nights.

"Because of you, I finally feel like home, so I am very happy these days."

Just when Shen Qingcheng was ashamed of her narcissism, she was caught off guard when she heard Jun Wulan say that, her heart was beating faster now that her cheeks were warm.

Both of them were shy, and they couldn't find anything to say for a while. After quietly leaving the town, Shen Qingcheng remembered the matter of buying cotton seeds and said to Jun Wulan: "Brother Jun, cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. , have you heard of this?"

"I've never heard of it. I only know that camellia fruit, soybeans and peanuts can be used to extract oil, but the production of soybeans and peanuts in Xia Kingdom is not high. Peanut oil and soybean oil are a bit expensive, and only rich people can eat them." From the beginning, ordinary people can only eat tea oil, who told you to extract oil from cotton seeds?"

"When I was eight or nine years old, I heard someone say that cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. After many years, I can't remember who that person was, but I'm sure he said that cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. Today, I heard Qin's cotton quilt The proprietress of the shop said that cotton seeds should be used to pave the road to prevent slipping, but I thought it would be too wasteful to use cotton seeds to pave the road, so I asked the proprietress to sell the cotton seeds to me.”

Jun Wulan now has great trust in Shen Qingcheng, and he has no doubts about Shen Qingcheng's explanation.

"We need a lot of oil to make a living in scallion pancakes. Camellia oil is too expensive. We can't afford it now. Even if we can afford it, we can't make much money. If we replace tea oil with cottonseed oil, our profit will be High, and cottonseed oil is as healthy and delicious as tea oil."

"Then how do you extract oil from these cotton seeds?"

Shen Qingcheng said a lot, Jun Wulan only asked this one question after hearing it.

Sensing the man's trust in her, Shen Qingcheng smiled happily and asked, "I also heard that cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. Brother Jun, aren't you afraid that I will waste money?"

"You can only gain if you give up, and you don't invest much money, so it doesn't matter if you lose money."

"Don't worry, we won't lose money. Extracting oil from cotton seeds is similar to using camellia oil. It is the process of extracting too much oil from cotton seeds and then grinding them with stones to remove the shells."

The two chatted all the way and arrived at the entrance of the village without knowing it.

The road to the mud courtyard is narrow and tortuous, and horse-drawn carriages cannot go there.

Jun Wulan parked the carriage at the entrance of the village, turned her head and told Shen Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, you can watch the carriage here for a while, and I will pick the cotton seeds home first."

After obtaining Shen Qingcheng's consent, Jun Wulan tied the reins to a tree at the entrance of the village, and then remembered to hand Shen Qingcheng the small cloth bag that Mu Baishi had given her.

"This is from Mrs. Mu Shao. There are some pastries in it. If you are hungry, eat some to fill your stomach. I was so busy talking to you just now that I forgot to give you this."

Shen Qingcheng took the cloth bag and put it in her arms, thought for a while and asked Jun Wulan with a smile: "Does Mrs. Mu know that we have a daughter?"

Seeing Jun Wulan nodding, Shen Qingcheng said again: "This is the pastry Mrs. Mu Shao gave to Luo'er."

"It's for Luo'er, but it doesn't matter how many pieces you eat."

Shen Qingcheng doesn't need to eat cakes, her heart is already sweet.

This man regards her as seriously as that girl Luo'er.

"Brother Jun, your words are enough. I'm full at noon today, and I'm not hungry yet. We can't afford these cakes now, so let's leave them to Luo'er."

Seeing that Shen Qingcheng hugged the small cloth bag with both hands, she couldn't bear to eat the expression of cherishing it, Jun Wulan felt very uncomfortable, and suddenly hated that she didn't buy some property privately when she was in the official residence, if she bought it privately then Even if the mansion of the General Protecting the Nation was confiscated, he wouldn't be so poor that he couldn't even buy something delicious for his wife.

"Qingcheng, wait here obediently, I'll be back in a while."

Jun Wulan moved two baskets of cotton seeds off the cart, and when she left, she reached out and gently stroked Shen Qingcheng's temples.

Although Jun Wulan's big hands were rough, Shen Qingcheng felt that the touch of her temples was warm and soft, and she had an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"Well, Shen Qingcheng, you have the money to go to the town to play new quilts, but your mother told you to bring some food home, but you pushed back and forth. The blood of the Shen family is flowing on your body. Don't eat it for three to five months. The family of the exiled prisoner forgot what his last name was."

A vicious voice suddenly came and pulled back Shen Qingcheng's heart.

Shen Qingcheng looked intently and saw Shen Jiahe walking towards her swaggeringly.

Seeing Shen Jiahe's expression darken, she felt a little irritable.

Why are people from the Shen family so lingering, you can meet someone surnamed Shen wherever you go.

"I have the blood of the Shen family flowing in my body, but I have paid off the 20 taels of silver and the things I sent to the Shen family over the years I owed to the Shen family. Nonsense."
