Chapter 388 Picking
Fang Qing also kept an eye on it. When passing by other cotton fields, she took a special look at it, and found that compared with Lian Fangzhou's family, she couldn't see it at all!
Originally, she planned to ask for 150,000 catties from Lian Fangzhou's family, and buy other people's family in Yuhe County by the way. Seeing this, she immediately dismissed the idea.
The raw materials are so different, how can the products be the same? Her striving for perfection can't stand this kind of thing.
Because of this, the quality of Sujia and Lianjia's cotton textiles is guaranteed, occupying the top of the industry with an overwhelming advantage, and has maintained this advantage to become the leader in this industry!
It was not until night fell that Fang Qing and Su Jinghe said goodbye and left.
It's not that Lian Fangzhou doesn't want to keep guests, and it's not that they don't want to stay there. It's because they don't even have a spare room at home, so it's not convenient to keep the two of them.
The two planned to stay in Yuhe County for one night, and took Su Ziji and two more skilled workers away by the way.
Before leaving, Fang Qing held Lian Fangzhou's hand and smiled, "Let's build your house soon! When will it be built? I want to stay here for two nights. Let's talk!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's for sure! I think it will be built by the end of this year!"
Said the two looked at each other and smiled.
This crop of cotton, she made a lot of money. Not to mention building a house, even building a village is no problem at all!
The cotton is ripening one after another and can be picked tomorrow.
There are still very few mature ones, and there is no need to hire people, and their own workers are completely sufficient. Including Zhang Xiaojun's family, his third aunt, and Lian Fangqing all played together.
But in about seven or eight days, people must be hired, and more and more people will be hired gradually.
An adult can pick more than 200 catties in a day, and it is only 300 catties in the sky. Think about it, 300,000 catties of pure cotton is more than 800,000 catties, how many man-days are needed!
At most, it is estimated to employ nearly 100 people a day.
And there are still more than half a month before the autumn harvest!
Fortunately, the harvest period of cotton is very long, and the peak season can be staggered from the autumn harvest, so Lian Fangzhou was not so worried.
Otherwise, it is very likely that no one will be hired!
The next day, Lian Fangzhou went into the city with Ah Jian with a silver ticket. But steward Qin arranged for everyone to pick cotton.
Su Jin and other girls naturally didn't go, and the workers surnamed Tian stayed behind to do work such as sun drying and seed removal. Then he left the mother and daughter of Li Shi and Zhang Xiu'er to cook.
As for the chickens in Xiaohuaguoshan, Lian Fangqing went to feed them early in the morning, and there was Sun to help.
When they arrived in the cotton field, Zhang Liang came to Lian Fangqing's side and whispered, "Four girls, be careful, don't let this cotton husk prick your hands."
Although the **** practiced martial arts with Lian Ze and Ah Jian, Zhang Liang didn't dare to even look at Lian Fangqing. He instinctively feared Lian Fangzhou in his heart.
He knew that even if he had the slightest hint of his intentions, he would never be able to hide it from the shrewd big girl.
He didn't dare to take this risk, he was afraid that once someone found out, he wouldn't be able to take a look at her in the future!
Lian Fangqing looked back at him when he heard the words, raised a smile as bright as the sun, and said with a smile, "I'm not that useless! It doesn't matter if a little scratch is there!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang felt pity again in his heart. She was no thicker than him, and it didn't matter if the injury was too deep or severe. She is a little girl, how can she scratch her fingers? How painful that would be!
"Four girls better be careful, otherwise, the eldest girl will feel distressed..." Zhang Liang knew that he couldn't dissuade her, so he felt sad, and hurriedly said: "Four girls follow me, the basket is full. so I can carry it."
"You are such a long-winded person!" Lian Fangqing glared at him with a smile on his face. Seeing his stagnant expression, he couldn't help but "puchi" and laughed again, and glared at him with a smile: "Why are you still in a daze? Don't hurry up and go ahead!"
"Ah? Good, good!" Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he came back to his senses. He was busy driving the road ahead. He carefully pushed aside the branches and leaves that had been brushed over, and saw that there was cotton that bloomed very well and was the easiest to pick. Leave it to her to pick.
How did Lian Fangqing know his thoughts? Seeing that he left it for himself, he only thought that he was too busy to pick it. While picking, he joked with him, and from time to time, he coquettishly scolded Xiao Hui who followed.
On this day, Zhang Liang's heart was as light and happy as it was flying on the clouds. The mother was not around, and the eldest girl and the others were not there, so he dared to secretly care about her, but it was only one or two.
He always remembered the words of his parents, and clearly remembered that his identity was different from hers.
Lian Fangzhou and Ah Jian entered the city and went straight to find Liu Jia.
Today, Lian Fangzhou has more land to buy.
The surrounding area of Shitooping is full of wasteland. According to Liu Jia, there are seven or eight thousand mu.
It is basically flat, with occasional small rolling hills. Lian Fangzhou had already taken a fancy to it, and he bought it and joined the original 1,000 mu, which is more than 11,000 mu. It will be developed in the future, and it is good to grow cotton.
In addition, if there are other wastelands with convenient transportation, you can also buy some more.
In addition, she also wanted to find a place with mountains, water, and valleys, and it didn't need to be too big. Three or four thousand mu, five or six thousand mu would be enough. This is to open up a fruit orchard and raise chickens. In the valley, four or five large fish ponds can be excavated in the flat area along the water flow, where fish and ducks can be raised.
There are few good fields to buy some. It is best to have ready-made farms with three or four hundred acres of fertile land.
The most important thing is that she wants to buy more than 100 mu of land in the suburbs of the county to build a cotton spinning factory, so she will have a place to make quilts and cotton cloth in the future.
Liu Jia was stunned after hearing what she said, and hurriedly said, "Miss Lian, have you made a fortune?"
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Don't you know that I have a cousin who is the richest man in Shuangliu County?" The cousin's banner can still be talked about, the ready-made excuses are really easy to use!
Liu Jia was stunned, and smiled.
She took out the words of the Su family, and he really couldn't get to the bottom of it.
But what does it matter? He was just curious and asked one more question. Does he know if it has anything to do with him?
When there is business, he just does it!
Liu Jia thought for a while, then smiled and said, "The land deed over Shitooping can be settled immediately, and the price is still the same as before. Haha, even if the girl bought so much at once, I can help her talk about it. No matter how cheap it is! As for the land with mountains, water and valleys that are gentle but not too biased, I have to look for it! Well, it is still early for Zhuangzi! Even the girl knows that it is the autumn harvest, this season Unless there are very special circumstances, no one will sell paddy fields and farms! Always wait for two months to see. In the suburbs... I don't know how many acres the girl wants to buy? Hehe, the more detailed the girl said. , the easier it is for me to see!"
