Chapter 267 Cotton Breeding

Lian Fangzhou is just an unexperienced country girl, why does he not know how to flatter when he sees his right-hand man next to the lady in charge of Zhao's house? It's fine if you don't flatter, and you're not afraid of her at all.

She is the lady's confidant, doesn't she know? As long as the lady moves her fingers, she will be unable to move even Fangzhou in Yuhe County! I really don't know where she came from!

Seeing the resentment on her face, Zhao San leaned over to accompany her with a smile and whispered, "Miss Magpie, don't know anything like this vulgar woman from the countryside! There will be times when she will cry in the future! Are we... going back to the house first?"

I have to go back to the house and report to the young lady that the cotton seeds can go to the ground.

The lady said that there is no need to expand cotton planting, just the ones on the seed booth are enough, but later on, she ordered people to secretly buy a lot of seeds. There are a total of 16,700 catties of seeds in the house!

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

If she knew that she got the news and still delayed her return, she would be annoyed if she didn't want to report it to her as soon as possible.

As for brother Ajian, just come and visit next time!

"Let's go! Go back!" Magpie gritted her teeth and got on the carriage with a flick of her handkerchief.

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

Lian Ze then said: "Is this really a big maid from someone like Zhao's house? Why is she so shameless! Miss Zhao doesn't care about her, I really 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 Miss Zhao care? They naturally know that it's not about growing cotton!

She is just a girl, and not the serious master of the Zhao family. Even if she does something shameless outside, Miss Zhao only needs to put on a sad and benevolent attitude to deal with her in a high-profile manner, and everyone will only praise her. Her Zhao family is strict and well-mannered, and she only despises the magpie, a little girl who doesn't know how high the sky is, how can she lose the face of her Zhao family?

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

This is what it says! Lian Fangzhou felt tired and crooked in his heart. He tilted his head and looked at Ajian with a half-smile, and said in a low voice, "Are you disappointed? Brother Ajian?"

Hearing this "Brother A Jian", A Jian couldn't help but shivered and said hurriedly: "How could it be! I, I am just surprised that it is so easy to pass this time..."

When the magpie called "Brother Ajian", he was full of disgust. Lian Fangqing and Lian Che called "Brother Ajian" to his ears. Lian Fangzhou called it just now. For some reason, at that moment, his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat. A little panicked.

Therefore, he tried his best to look serious, so as to cover up the obvious discomfort.

Seeing his attitude, Lian Fangzhou felt that he shouldn't be speaking to him in that way, so he hurriedly slowed down his tone and smiled softly, and said what happened just now.

A Jian suddenly understood, nodded and said: "So that's the case, I'm going back to report!"

"It's not a secret that can't be told," Lian Fangzhou smiled lightly and said, "I won't let them inquire about some things! By the way, tell me, should I consider taking all the cotton fields into account? What about the barbed wire?"

"What?" A-Jian was taken aback and said: "This, isn't it? Just send someone to inspect it! This cotton was ordered to be promoted by the yamen, who would have the courage to destroy it and be arrested? Staying here will be a felony!"

Lian Fangzhou is well aware of the importance of these cottons. Because he values ​​it too much, he subconsciously thinks that others value it as well, so he says so.

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

It is also said that there are countless families who grow cotton, but the number is not as good as hers.

In her eyes, it is precious, but in the eyes of others, it is only the weeds that occupy the fields! If it really wants to destroy it, the suspect can count it with a slap.

"It's me who made a fuss!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and left the matter behind.

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

After listening to Zhao Rujun, he didn't have the reaction that magpie imagined, he just smiled lightly, nodded and smiled: "Speaking of which, spring ploughing and autumn harvesting, isn't this season the time for breeding and sowing? Go on, our family should prepare as well. !"

"Ah? Yes, miss..." Needless to say, Magpie looked disappointed, she thought she would be praised by the lady.

Zhao Rujun glanced at her, and said calmly, "You did a good job this time. Whenever you hear anything in the future, remember to come back and tell me as soon as possible! You can inquire clearly, that cotton is planted, and it is not the same as it is. What's the difference in crops?"

The Magpie, who had just been in a low mood, suddenly regained her spirits, but the smile on her face only showed half of it and immediately froze and disappeared, she hurriedly bowed and replied: "That Lian Fangzhou is tricky, he is a master who asks three questions and doesn't know. Er. But don't worry, Miss, the slave will always pay attention to that side! If you can't ask, will the slave not read it? As long as she sees it, the slave will immediately report back to Miss!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Rujun nodded with a smile, and smiled again: "You are not a peasant after all, even if you look at it, you will not be able to see anything. Besides, it is not convenient for you to step on the embroidered shoes and look into the ground. If you can find a reliable one Wouldn't it be better to ask people to ask?"

Looking for someone you can trust? Magpie was stunned, and immediately understood: Miss is implying that she is bribing Lian Fangzhou's subordinates.

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

The Magpie's back was stiff, as if it had something to rely on, so he hurriedly bowed his knees and laughed: "Miss, don't worry! This servant understands what to do!"

Zhao Rujun smiled, nodded, and waved her to step back.

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

A total of 8,000 catties of cotton seeds need to be spread out and exposed to the sun for three days. After drying, treat it in eight batches according to one thousand pounds at a time.

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

This work was done in the seed-handling room, which had a long, purpose-built pool with smooth blue bricks on the bottom and walls.

After soaking the seeds, the seeds are drained and packed into sacks, half of each sack. Transported to another house. Then burn four or five large braziers in the house, and use the temperature of the coal fire to induce germination.

Turn the sack 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 these seeds come from these days? Even Fangzhou can only do that.

When those seeds have basically sprung up, they can be scattered into the pre-arranged breeding grounds.

There will be an update tomorrow!
