Chapter 137 Cotton Seeds
Chapter 137 Cotton Seeds
In this dynasty, there were cotton cloth and cotton clothes, so people also planted cotton.
Jiang Ci found out that it was only planted in the northern areas near the border, and they also got some seeds to plant a few years ago.
Because there was a precedent with corn, some people wanted to try whether cotton could be made well.
The road to growing cotton was very bumpy. In the end, we only harvested two bags of poor quality cotton per acre of land, weighing only 20 to 30 kilograms. You should know that the yield per acre in the north is at least 50 kilograms.
It's really not worth it. No one grows it here and there's no one even selling the seeds.
I just don't know if this cotton seed is the same as Dashun's.
"I want a handful of this seed."
Lin Jingsheng took two more green stones, one was light green, and the other was darker in color but without any other colors.
In the end, he paid ten taels of silver, and Jiang Ci asked him to give him a handful of flower seeds.
After they bought it, they put it directly in the backpack. Lin Jingchen didn't see it, so he asked, "What did you buy?"
Jiang Ci showed him the backpack, "A few stones."
"Stones of this color are very beautiful. I have never seen them before."
"Asheng, do you know what these stones are?"
"It should be agate. I saw it before in the capital in a shop that specializes in selling exotic and rare things. But that one was of better quality than these."
“It’s really agate!”
Lin Jingchen was also surprised, looking at the strange stone in the backpack, "Is this agate?"
"Aci knows this is agate."
Jiang Ci: “I’ve heard of it.”
Lin Jingsheng felt that Lin Jingchen was very annoying at the moment. If he was not here, Aci would have said something else to him.
At night, Jiang Ci looked at these stones again and again in the candlelight. Well, the red ones looked the best in the candlelight, but there were too many impurities in them. However, it also had a different kind of beauty.
Jiang Ci took out the jade hairpin from the box and put them together to take a look.
I redeemed the jade hairpin after I returned to the city.
It was the same guy. He looked at the list and then looked at Jiang Ci. He still remembered Jiang Ci.
But now, looking at Jiang Ci, whose face was rosy and healthy and whose clothes were gorgeous, she was a little surprised.
But he didn't ask any more questions and went inside to look for the hairpin.
"Aci, what did you see?"
Jiang Ci was startled and touched her chest with her hand when she heard Lin Jingsheng's voice.
"You scared me."
Lin Jingsheng also said to Jiang Ci, "I didn't expect that. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, come and take a look at these agates."
Lin Jingsheng didn't understand what Jiang Ci wanted him to see, "What's wrong?"
"What kind of agate have you seen before?"
Lin Jingsheng moved a stool and sat next to Jiang Ci, "The biggest difference is that the piece seen there is generally the same color."
"What can we carve on these agates?"
Lin Jingsheng placed the flatter and greener piece of agate next to Jiang Ci.
"I'll make you a bracelet with this piece. It will make your wrist look whiter."
He wore this agate bracelet on his hand, but he didn't know when it broke. Jiang Ci didn't know how to tell Lin Jingsheng.
Lin Jingsheng looked at Jiang Ci's expression and asked, "Why? Ah Ci doesn't like it?"
"This thing is very easy to break, I don't know when it broke when I put it on my hand."
"This stone should not break easily after it is carved. If it breaks, we can just replace it with another one."
"OK then."
It would be difficult to reject Lin Jingsheng's suggestion.
"This needs to be sent to a place that specializes in jewelry, right?"
"Yes, send it to Huafang Pavilion in this town."
"So how do they make it? If they make a bracelet like this, will the middle break?"
"I don't think so. After all, this piece can be used to make something else."
"Then tell them when the time comes and use the money in here to make a small bracelet for Xuanxuan."
"it is good."
Now that I know what one piece is going to be used for, I no longer have to think about the other pieces and just put them all away.
Jiang Ci opened the cotton seeds wrapped in paper again, "Are these cotton seeds the same as the ones we grow in Dashun?"
"I don't know. I've never seen cotton seeds, but I have worn cotton clothes with cotton inside."
"Ok?"
"When we were in the northwest, Master Wen sent them here. Each soldier was given one."
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Cotton is not cheap, as can be seen from the price of cotton cloth, which is almost the same price as silk cloth.
"So the warriors in the northwest admire Master Wen, not General Ji."
“It is indeed worthy of admiration.”
Lin Jingsheng took the cotton seeds and twisted them. "I'll take them to show the old people in the village tomorrow. I remember someone in the village bought some seeds and planted some on the edge of the vegetable field."
"Has it grown up yet?"
"Yes, but with careful care, a few of them grew bigger."
"It seems that cotton is really not suitable for growing here."
Lin Jingsheng carried Jiang Ci to the bed, "Okay, it's getting dark, time to go to bed."
Jiang Ci smiled and pushed Lin Jingsheng away, who was making trouble on him, "Then get out of the way. I'm going to take a shower."
"Kiss me first."
As he said this, he blocked Jiang Ci's mouth. Jiang Ci pushed him away perfunctorily twice and put her arms around Lin Jingsheng's neck.
The water made an ambiguous sound and the temperature in the room quickly rose.
Lin Jingsheng touched Jiang Ci's belt and said, "Let's wash together after we're done."
"Hmph~" Jiang Ci wanted to refuse and wanted to go wash first, but Lin Jingsheng kissed her again.
Lin Jingsheng kissed Jiang Ci so hard that she didn't have the strength to get up and wash.
After finishing, the boiled water had cooled down a bit and was no longer enough to fill a bathtub.
Lin Jingsheng went to boil some more water and covered Jiang Ci with a quilt before leaving.
All I saw was a few red marks and a shallow tooth mark on the exposed part of his neck.
Further up is the still flushed face and the rosy lips that have been kissed.
Her eyes were still moist and the corners of her eyes were red, as if she was loved.
After the water was mixed over there, this is the Jiang porcelain I saw when I entered the house. My Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.
This kind of A Ci is even more attractive.
"Aci, go take a shower."
"Yes." Jiang Ci lifted the quilt covering her body and stretched out her hand to Lin Jingsheng, "Carry me."
There was a strong nasal tone in his voice, and it was obvious that he had been crying.
"Okay." Lin Jingsheng stared at Jiang Ci with his eyes wide open.
He suppressed his thoughts, took the clothes to wrap Jiang Ci, picked up Jiang Ci and went to the bathroom.
