The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 127 Down
During lunch, Zheng Qiuyun was still thinking about this matter, so much so that he didn't know what to eat.It wasn't until Zheng Wenping called her that Zheng Qiuyun realized something, "Wenping, what's wrong?"

Zheng Wenping put down his chopsticks and asked, "Sister, are you thinking about the quilt?"

Zheng Qiuyun nodded, "Pei Yuanqi has sent people to find cotton, but not so fast. One autumn rain and one cold. If this continues, those people may not be able to bear it."

Zheng Wenping thought: "The difficulty of Dongzhou lies in the closure of the city, but it is not possible without the closure of the city. If there is something else that can replace cotton, it is not a bad idea. If the generals of Dongzhou dare to raise troops, they must have something to rely on. Why don't I find it? Look for any mineral deposits.”

This is a way of thinking. If there is coal to increase the temperature in the shed, quilts are not necessarily necessary.

While he was looking for coal, Zheng Qiuyun was not idle either.Under the guise of looking for coal, she was actually burying something.She walked to a deserted place and started digging. After digging to a certain depth, she found that there was nothing. She bought cotton from the mall and buried it inside.

Walking to another place, she saw a pit, which seemed to be dug by Zheng Wenping when he was looking for mineral deposits.She used it directly, buried the cotton in it, filled it with soil and ran away.

The soldiers sent by Pei Yuanqi looked for cotton everywhere. When they saw a ball of white cotton exposed somewhere, they quickly dug it up.When they saw the white cotton, they were ecstatic.

So, there were three of them, one was responsible for digging the hole, one was responsible for burying the cotton, and the other was responsible for digging out the cotton.Even without knowing it, they cooperated very well.

Zheng Qiuyun didn't dare to be too obvious. After a few days of burying, she stopped burying cotton.One is afraid of insufficient balance, and the other is afraid of being discovered.

She had been walking around in the past few days and saw chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry raised by the squire in the countryside.Those who were displaced in the war were ordinary people, and those squires with Zhuangzi still had some private property.

This squire family used to be in the restaurant business, but they no longer do it.The raw birds he raised were afraid of being snatched away, so he didn't dare to sell any of them openly. If Zheng Qiuyun hadn't buried them in pits for the past few days, just looking for secluded places, he wouldn't have discovered that there were still these things in the village.

Zheng Qiuyun sent someone to negotiate a deal with him, promising to sell all these things to him.The squire didn't know her details and didn't dare to respond for a while. Zheng Qiuyun showed him the silverbait bag to prove his identity before he dared to believe her.

The people in the shed were barely surviving, and some squires couldn't stand it for a long time. They heard that they could eat meat, and they were all very greedy.There is a squire in the south shed, and there are also other sheds. Moreover, the squire has relatives, and they all want to improve the food.

Zheng Qiuyun sold ducks and geese to them, kept the duck and goose down, and processed the down to make down jackets.

A duck has about 100 grams of down, while the weight of a short down jacket is generally between 150 and 250 grams, and the thickest long down jacket does not exceed [-] grams.Therefore, one duck can make a short down jacket, and two ducks can make a long down jacket.

They wear down jackets to sleep, which is warmer than covering them with a thin quilt.

At the same time, Zheng Wenping also found some charcoal fire, and Pei Yuanqi also found a lot of cotton.Adding these three things together, the sick people no longer need to shiver with cold.

Quilts and charcoal fires are also common. The down jackets Zheng Qiuyun helped them make made them more knowledgeable.It doesn't look thick, and it doesn't feel heavy in the hand, but it is comfortable and warm to wear.

Someone asked Zheng Qiuyun, "Girl, what are you made of? Why is it so light and so warm?"

Zheng Qiuyun did not hide it at all, "A few days ago, a squire bought a duck. This is made of duck down. Don't you smell the smell of duck?"

When she said this, the squire's faces turned green.I originally had a cough, high temperature, and stuffy nose, and there was an odor on my clothes that I couldn’t smell clearly.As soon as Zheng Qiuyun said that, they smelled it again, and sure enough they could still smell some stench.

Zheng Qiuyun had no choice. She could make a down jacket and learned it by watching many videos.As for deodorizing, I can only say that she is not good at it.

Dr. Sun tried for several days and gradually found an idea. The number of people dying in the shed was decreasing, which gave everyone hope.When they talked about this matter, their yellow and thin faces also showed smiles.

"Girl, do you think we can survive?" A man who looked like a bamboo pole asked her.

Zheng Qiuyun said without hesitation: "Yes, it must be possible."

This man said with longing, "That's good, I haven't married a wife yet." Others laughed at him, "Zhou Ming, will you be able to marry a wife as long as you live? Your family is gone, just a few If the acres of land are not enough for me to feed myself, which woman would be willing to follow you."

His family lived at the gate of the city, and when the war broke out, he was the first to suffer.Zhou Ming is not discouraged, "So what? I heard that corn is planted in other places, and the yield per mu is thousands of pounds. If the Dongzhou rebels hadn't allowed us to leave the city, I would have planted corn by now."

"Is this true?"

Many people are ordinary people who have no knowledge. Dongzhou is fighting, and they don't know the news outside.Hearing what Zhou Ming said, they couldn't help but be suspicious.

"If there were such a crop, we wouldn't have to go hungry in the future."

"Zhou Ming, where did you hear this?"

Zhou Ming coughed a few times and talked too much, and his body inevitably became weak.The guy who was in good health wanted to listen again, so he got up and poured him a glass of water, "Zhou Ming, drink some water, and continue talking after drinking the water."

He drank a few big sips, and then began to brag, "My cousin is a high-ranking official in the capital. He sent me a message asking me to prepare to go to the capital to learn to grow corn. It was just in time for the war, and I didn't make it."

Then he added: "But I didn't make it. The gentleman who taught agriculture was very sorry and often mentioned me to my cousin and grandpa. Don't you know, the gentleman who teaches agriculture is a woman."

"what?"

"woman?"

“I’ve never heard of a woman teaching.”

Zhou Ming said loudly: "More than just a teacher, he is a high-ranking official in Jiangzhou and Qingzhou. His Majesty personally named him Sinong."

"A woman becomes an official?"

"Unheard of."

They were just surprised, but there was no malice in their words.Zheng Qiuyun and others listened and looked at each other without arguing.

Zhou Ming had sold out enough and earned enough attention. He continued to ask with satisfaction: "Why do you think she can be this official?"

"Why? Isn't it because of her beauty?" one person guessed.

"Bah!" Hearing such speculation, Zhou Ming was not happy, "Liu Chang, put away your dirty thoughts. She was appointed because of the invasion of the Chrysalis. She led the people of Linjiang County to defend Linjiang. , and also discovered corn seeds, so that the people of Qingzhou and Jiangzhou no longer starved.

Did you know that half of the corn seeds in Daxuan are donated by the people of Qingzhou and Jiangzhou?Did you know that the students she taught returned to their hometown and taught the people to farm?Now corn is grown everywhere except Dongzhou. "

The man named Liu Chang had a stern expression and did not dare to speak back.

Just as he was talking, Pei Yuanqi sent someone over, "Zheng Sinong, Dr. Sun has found the right medicine. Could you please go over and take a look."
