Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

Chapter 36 The Right Way

Hearing shopkeeper Lin's offer, all four members of the family except Yaya were stunned.

A pound of cotton actually sells for seven taels of silver!You must know that Bai Yaolang's family only sold two taels per mu of land, and this catty of cotton is actually worth three and a half mu of land!

No wonder there was only one thin quilt in the house before, and the cotton that was taken out was estimated to be less than two or two, so it was only enough for Yaya's clothes.

Bai Molin was shocked that cotton was so valuable in the Daqing Dynasty, and faintly felt that he had found a business opportunity.

He thought about it carefully. He had to be down-to-earth in doing business. Not to mention that his family had no capital to do a big business. Even a small business had to see whether his family members could match it.

I just strolled around Dongcheng County, it is obvious that the catering industry accounts for the largest proportion in the commercial area, which shows that the local people are willing to spend money on food, and it is said that it should be easier to succeed in the food business, but there is no one in his family. Good at cooking, can not do this business.

And the cotton business is profitable. There is a saying that what is rare is the most expensive. The reason why cotton is so expensive here is probably because the place of origin is not here.

After two days of observation, Bai Molin knew that the people here were not stupid, and there must have been some people who thought about planting cotton, but apparently they didn't succeed, probably because they didn't understand cotton cultivation techniques.

But his family is different. There is a plug-in called Yaya that can spawn plants at home. Are you worried that the planting will not be successful?

The more Bai Molin thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done, and his eyes were full of excitement when he looked at Yaya.

Seeing that her brother was suddenly smiling at her attentively, Yaya also grinned at her brother, but the corners of her mouth just opened, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she immediately hugged the beautiful thing that A-Niang had just bought for her with a defensive face. Xinbu, leaned back into A-Niang's arms.

Bai Molin couldn't understand whether to laugh or cry, she smiled helplessly at Yaya, and then approached the shopkeeper and asked, "Boss, do you know where you can buy cotton seeds?"

Manager Lin is a kind person. He didn't ignore Bai Molin because he was young. First, he pointed at Bai Molin with a smile and said to Bai Zhiqing, "This kid in your family has turned his head very fast."

Then Manager Lin looked down at Bai Molin and said, "Smart boy, as small as our Dongcheng County, as large as Lizhou and even in the entire northern region of Daqing Dynasty, everyone knows that cotton is expensive, and many people are as smart as you and want to I have grown cotton, but why is cotton so expensive after so many years?"

Just as Bai Molin was about to express his understanding, Father Cheap gave him a light tap on the shoulder, only to hear Bai Zhiqing say, "We really don't know about this, we have to ask the shopkeeper."

Bai Zhiqing guessed what the cheap son was thinking, but he had his own way of looking at people. As soon as he heard the shopkeeper's words, he knew that the other party was a good teacher. To get along with this kind of person, he only needs to give the other party more opportunities to show his knowledge, and let the other party say that he is happy and will reveal it. Provide more information and may be eager to help.

Sure enough, Manager Lin said, "Speaking of which, this cotton was originally imported. It was only grown in the southern part of our Daqing Dynasty more than ten years ago, but even so, the output is extremely low, so the price of cotton is comparable to that of silk."

"And we in the north—" Shopkeeper Lin deliberately sold out, and seeing Bai Zhiqing looking at him attentively waiting for something to say, he continued: "Many people in the north have grown cotton over the years. Someone once planted more than 30 mu of cotton in one go, thinking of making a lot of money, but cotton is hard to keep up with, and in the end, not to mention flowering and bearing fruit, even the seedlings don’t grow tall.

Speaking of which, Manager Lin looked at Bai Molin earnestly and said, "Smart boy, don't think about growing cotton to make money, just follow your father's way..."

Seeing that the father and son in front of them had good temperaments, or they were studying others, Manager Lin changed his words and said, "Follow your father to study, and work hard to get a good name is the right way."

Bai Molin didn't give up and wanted to continue to ask about the cottonseed.

Bai Zhiqing patted the cheap son on the shoulder, smiled and said to the shopkeeper Lin, "Thank you for the reminder. It really is better to listen to your words than to read ten years of books, which has saved us a lot of detours. However, children are curious and let It may not be a bad thing for them to try more. If the shopkeeper knows where cotton seeds are sold, please let me know, we will only buy a few and let the children grow and play."

Seeing that Bai Zhiqing could talk, and he was a pet lover like him, Manager Lin thought that this person was a good fit, so he smiled and said, "You are really asking the right person! I have cottonseeds in my hand, so I will give you a few. It's okay."

Cotton lint is actually the fluff that grows on cottonseeds. Cottonseeds can be used as seeds and can be used for oil extraction. The cotton sent from the south is all seeded, but there are inevitably omissions in manual operations. Cotton will more or less carry a few cottonseeds.

In the few years when cotton was first sold to the north, cottonseeds were a rarity that many people flocked to, and Manager Lin once made a small profit by relying on these missing cottonseeds.

But now no one in Dongcheng County is willing to plant cotton, and he is too lazy to find cotton seeds from the cotton pile.

Seeing that Bai Zhiqing and his party were dressed neatly but poor, Manager Lin pointed to a small pile of cotton in the store and said, "You can find it in the cotton, but be careful, don't get my cotton dirty. already."

Bai Zhiqing: "Thanks to the shopkeeper."

Bai Molin also shouted, "Thank you, the shopkeeper." After that, he pulled Yaya from the cheap mother's arms. At this time, the plug-in should be shot.

Yaya tightened the rough cloth in her arms and looked at her brother suspiciously with wide eyes.

Bai Molin said, "Yaya, accompany my brother to find cotton seeds."

Looking for seeds?Yaya felt that she could do it, and nodded earnestly, "Aniang, let me down, I'll go help my brother."

Seeing that the smart boy was actually pulling a little guy to find cottonseeds, Manager Lin frowned. He was using the cotton in his store as a toy to coax the children to play with. He already regretted his generosity just now.

Seeing that the smile on Manager Lin's face had faded, Bai Zhiqing said, "Don't worry, my little daughter is a lot more careful than a boy with thick hands and feet, so she won't stain the cotton. I will buy them all, but I can't let the kind-hearted you suffer."

Seeing that Bai Zhiqing had said so, the shopkeeper put on a kind high hat, so naturally he couldn't change his words, he smiled and didn't say anything.

And Yaya took her brother's hand to the cotton pile a little higher than her, looked at her brother and asked, "Are you looking for the seeds hidden in the cotton?"

Bai Molin nodded, "Yes, you can find the seeds and take them out. This task is left to Yaya. My brother believes that Yaya can do it."

Yaya was very happy to be entrusted with an important task by her brother, and nodded hard at her brother with a serious face, "Yaya can do it!"
