Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 246 Wushu Village
Soon, they followed the Li family's children to the cotton field.

From a distance, the cotton plants are arranged in an orderly manner like well-trained soldiers. Each branch of the cotton plant is full of heavy, round cotton bolls, like chubby dolls, so cute!
A breeze blew by, picked up his little girl, and whispered softly, "Do you like the white little flowers?"

With the help of Yang, Lele had already picked a cotton flower and held it in her hand. She blinked her big eyes and said, "I like it."

He stretched out his chubby little hands and continued to pull the cotton in front of him.

Gu Yu asked again, "Le Le likes it. Can you buy some cotton and plant it in our fields?"

Speaking of which, in their generation, very few people grew cotton, and most of them mainly grew grain.

Gu Yu also suddenly thought of buying some cotton and planting it back home.

Thinking of this, I watched the cotton plants swaying slightly, as if showing off their abundant fruits to people.

Gu Yu couldn't help but reach out and pick one, looking carefully at the snow-white cotton in his hand, feeling its soft and smooth touch, and a feeling of intoxication arose spontaneously.

The delicate fibers exude a faint fragrance that is refreshing and relaxing.

Under the reflection of the bright sunshine, the entire cotton field sparkles with dazzling light, which contrasts with the blue sky and white clouds, together outlining a beautiful rural picture.

Not far away, farmers were busy picking cotton, their faces filled with the joy of the harvest.

Although their clothes were already soaked with sweat, their eyes were filled with infinite longing and expectation for a better future.

When they returned to the Li family again, Gu Jianan told old man Li that he and his brother wanted to buy all the cotton from the Li family.

When Old Man Li heard this, his face was full of disbelief. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Nephew, do you mean... you want to buy all the cotton in my field?"

"That's right." Gu Jianan nodded. He had just discussed this with Gu Jianping. The cotton in Old Man Li's field was obviously well taken care of.

The cotton blossoms were like big white flowers, looking very pleasing to the eye. So the two brothers decided to buy more and took the opportunity to ask, "The cotton in your field is growing so well, we naturally want to buy all of it, but I wonder if the price can be any cheaper?"

Hearing this, Old Man Li hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "Nephew, to be honest, my family has a total of 20 acres of land, 10 acres of which are used to grow food for survival, and the remaining 10 acres are used to grow cotton."

You know, ten acres of land can produce hundreds of kilograms of cotton. Is it true that Gu Jianan wants to buy all the cotton?
Old man Li couldn't help but confirm again: "Nephew, are you sure you want to buy all the cotton in my field?"

Gu Jianan nodded. Old man Li didn't know the real situation of the Gu family. He only knew from chatting with Gu Wu that the Gu family had changed its ownership.

But his heart told him that the Gu family's financial situation was no different from theirs before they changed their status.

No matter how it changes, the family's assets can no longer be compared with those of the wealthy families accumulated for several generations.

He felt that he had met Gu Wu too late, and he didn't want Gu Jianan and the others to suffer, so he wanted to persuade them to save the family's money.

He took a deep breath and said, "Nephew, you should know that ten acres of land can produce hundreds of kilograms of cotton. Are you sure you want to buy it all?" "Yes, please give me an acceptable price." Gu Jianan's words were firm and he did not hesitate at all.

Gu Yu was secretly calculating. In the world where she lived in her previous life, the yield of cotton was restricted by many factors, including varieties, planting techniques, and climatic conditions.

Generally speaking, the cotton yield per mu of land is about 500 to 1,000 kilograms. According to this standard, the total cotton yield of ten mu of land should be around 5,000 to 10,000 kilograms.

However, the actual yield often fluctuates to a certain extent. If you choose to plant high-yield and high-quality cotton varieties, use scientific planting management techniques, apply fertilizers reasonably, effectively prevent and control pests and diseases, etc., and add good climatic conditions as an aid, the cotton yield of ten acres of land is likely to exceed 10,000 catties, or even reach more than 15,000 catties.

If the variety is ordinary, the planting management is improper, or the climate is extremely harsh, the cotton yield is likely to be far lower than 5,000 kilograms.

In ancient times, the cotton output of ten mu of land was affected by a series of complex factors, including planting technology, cotton varieties, climate conditions, soil quality and many other aspects.

After all, the ancient planting technology is extremely backward compared to modern times. Without modern agricultural technology and auxiliary tools such as fertilizers, the cotton yield may be relatively low.

Of course, if the land is fertile, the planting techniques are just right, and the climatic conditions are very suitable, ten acres of land may be able to harvest thousands of kilograms of cotton.

Gu Yu said, "Uncle Li, I heard you mention before that many families in the village grow cotton. I want you to ask if the villagers have any extra cotton. If so, I want to buy some."

When Old Man Li heard what Gu Jianan said, he wondered what price would be more appropriate.

Before he could think of a specific number, Gu Yu said she wanted to buy it too. He replied casually, "How much do you want to sell, niece?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that his reaction seemed a bit too much, and he couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment. He scratched his head and explained, "Our village is not close to any village in front and no store in the back, and the road transportation is not very convenient. Most of the cotton grown by the villagers is the same as mine. They carry it in baskets to the county town or the prefectural city to sell. If my niece wants to buy some, I can help ask around."

Gu Yu couldn't say for a moment how much cotton she needed, but she answered simply: "Uncle Li, go ask! As long as the price is right, I will buy as much as the villagers have."

Yang: "?"

Gu Wu: “???”

Gu Pan and others: “???”

Han Yili: “⊙▽⊙”

How many should the villagers buy?
What exactly does Ayu want to do with such a huge amount of cotton after purchasing it all at once?
He looked at Gu Yu with sharp eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Gu Yu noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had just said. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Why are you all staring at me?"

"Ahem!" Gu Wu and the others coughed awkwardly. Yang at the side asked, "Why are you buying so much cotton? There are only a few of us in our family. If we buy so much cotton, we won't be able to use it all!"

In fact, even Gu Yu himself could not explain exactly why he bought so much cotton.

It was just that today I went to the fields and saw the farmers working hard, and witnessed Gu Wu and Old Man Li chatting with each other in a like-minded manner.
