After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 269 Don't Like Tofu
Gu Shuang was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, I don't want to marry someone I don't know."

"You, you mean you want to marry someone you know?" Gu Youyin stuck out his tongue and thought for a while, "Do you have a crush on someone from the village? Come on, have a good talk with Dad. .”

"Okay, you smell of alcohol, you stink to death!" Mrs. Gu pushed him, "Hurry up and take a shower and sleep, don't talk drunk here."

As soon as Gu Youyin left, the old lady Gu looked at Gu Shuang and said, "Actually, do you want to or not? You already have the answer in your heart, so grandma won't say much."

Gu Shuang sat on the edge of the bed blankly and sighed.

When her father and mother proposed to her, she resisted extremely in her heart, but if the person was replaced by Xiangzi, her resistance turned into hesitation.

Does it mean that she doesn't reject it?

She didn't sleep well all night, and got up early to start working on the cattle farm.

Early in the morning, she sharply saw a familiar figure in the cattle farm, it was Xiangzi.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and she began to feel uncomfortable.

Compared with silkworm rearing, cotton saves time, effort and economy.

Gu Shuang felt uncomfortable all over, and lowered her head to do her own thing. Throughout the whole day, she always felt that Xiangzi's eyes kept falling on her.

"Brother Xiangzi, did you meet Brother Zhu and get married yesterday, so you are thinking of marrying a wife?" Gu Lin laughed and said, "Which girl does Brother Xiangzi like? Is it from our village? Do I know him? Come with me." Tell me."

Xiangzi secretly glanced at Gu Shuang and continued to work hard.

After he finished speaking, Ziliu ran home.

Everyone in the village came to Gu Qing's house to learn scriptures.

This thing feels soft and comfortable. It is most suitable for winter clothes, and it is warm and comfortable when made into a quilt.

"Yes, yes, we have to save the seeds, and we have to plant them next year. Maybe we can sell them for money."

Looking at the white cotton wadding in the field, Gu Qing felt better. If this thing is planted on a large scale, the price of cotton in Daliang will be lowered, and how many people in Daliang will be saved from freezing to death in winter.

Sitting in the yard, Gu Qing looked at Yang Huai, who was serving Gu Yu like an old lady, and couldn't help shaking her head. Gu Yu was still young, only thirteen this year, enough for Yang Huai to wait for.

Xiangzi smiled and said, "My mother said last night that after I get married, I will be allowed to start my own family, so I am also going to raise cows."

"However, how to make quilts and clothes from this thing, I have to ask the princess. Besides, I don't know what to do with the matter of saving seeds."

Xiangzi directly refused, and Gu Shuang was stunned for a moment. She and Xiangzi had eaten at the same table several times, and she knew that Xiangzi liked soft tofu.

"Proposal, Proposal?" Gu Shuang was terrified, "Are you in such a hurry?"

She lowered her head and continued to work on the matter at hand. After a while, Xiangzi came over. He coughed and quietly put a small box on the haystack beside him: "For you."

And ten catties of cotton can make a large quilt that is covered when it snows in winter, that is to say, the harvest of one mu of land can make forty or fifty quilts.

"Whether you need it or not is your business, and whether you can send it or not is my business." Xiangzi looked at her and said, "My mother said that she will come to your house tomorrow to help me propose a marriage. Do you think it's okay?"

At present, Gu Qing is not in the mood to take care of Gu Yu's affairs, because the cotton in the field has started to spit in small areas.

"Fortunately, my family planted an acre of land at the beginning. According to the princess, one acre of land can harvest four hundred catties of cotton."

"I'll come earlier and do more, so you can do less." Xiangzi moved swiftly, "It's just right, I will also learn how to raise cows from Grandpa Gu."

Just as I was talking, I heard a crisp little girl's voice: "Brother Xiangzi, this is tofu made by my mother. The two tenderest pieces are for you."

As the saying goes, after August and a half, the father-in-law of the land wants to see the flowers, which means that the cotton is spun.

Her fingers paused: "I don't use this kind of thing."

The cotton bolling period usually lasts for more than two months. A small cotton seedling can bear up to more than 100 peaches in the whole stage, and at least more than 30. In a year with good weather and no pests, cotton bolls will basically be bolled. The average yield of one cotton seedling is about two taels, and the yield of one mu of land is generally about four to five hundred catties.

Gu Shuang was vague, her mind was like a paste.

"No, no need, I don't like tofu."

"My mother is in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry." Xiangzi coughed and said, "Let's take it easy, and one day you will accept me. At that time, I'll marry you again."

In previous years, people in the village would work together to accumulate catkins and reed flowers to make winter clothes. With cotton, this year they no longer have to bother to do these things.

"I heard that the little girl from the tofu shop in the commercial street brings tofu to Xiangzi every day." Mrs. Song said, "there is also a lady from a pork shop over there who wants Xiangzi to be her son-in-law...you, if you have Xiangzi in your heart , we have to settle this matter quickly.”

"My family has planted half an acre, and it can harvest two hundred catties. When the time comes, the whole family can make a quilt and cut a winter coat."

For several days, Xiangzi ran to the cattle farm every day. Although the matter of the two children was not clearly settled, everyone knew it well.

Gu Shuang wiped her hands clean, picked up the lady's picture rouge, and smiled involuntarily on the corner of her mouth.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiangzi turned his head quickly, his face was as usual, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

Without paying too much labor, they harvested big cotton flowers, and everyone in the village was beaming.

Gu Lin was surprised: "Brother Xiangzi, why are you here so early?"

Basically every household in Gu's Village has planted cotton. Back then, Gu Qing's family planted a large area, and the village was following suit, so everyone followed suit, planting an extra acre of land, and at least three or four points of land.

Gu Shuang glanced at it. It was a round box with a picture of a lady on it. It was rouge, or the rouge produced by the eldest sister's workshop.

Gu Lin asked: "Learn to raise cows? Why are you learning this?"

Because there are few plants, weeding, fertilizing and catching insects are not too tiring. When I come back from work occasionally, I can finish it in half an hour.

Even Song, who was not very sensitive, noticed it, and secretly asked Gu Shuang what he meant.

In the past, her home was a small courtyard, and the courtyard door was rarely closed, and the villagers just came in and shouted.

But now, she lives in a big house. Although the door is not closed, there are two big stone lions at the door. Standing at the door, you can't see the bottom at a glance. People in the village dare not go in if they have nothing to do.

"Everyone, ladies and aunts, are you here to find the princess?" Nanny Zhu walked out of the yard and said with a smile, "The princess is reading in the study, and I will lead you there."

In Gu's Village, generally, as long as they are people from the village, aunts, aunts, aunts, etc., they can be taken in directly without notification. This is the conclusion that Madam Zhu has drawn after several months of observation.
