There are women in the farm family who are good at farming

Chapter 401 Are You Asking Me To Help?
Some even stuffed the cottonseed into the quilt without removing it. As a result, in the south windy spring day or in March and April when there was a lot of rain, because of the humidity and the high moisture in the air, sprouts actually sprouted in the quilt...

In short, everything!

What's more, the one who had the courage to contribute to the county magistrate was furiously kicked out of the county government by the county magistrate in the name of "deliberately teasing", causing countless people to laugh at him.

The magistrate of the county could not be angry when he saw the so-called "quilt" which was obviously inferior to the one sent by Lian Fangzhou and was clearly a fool!
The savvy businessmen who were the best at finding business opportunities immediately saw the profit and began to buy cotton in a big way.

At the beginning, the price was not high. Firstly, I thought that the country people were honest and easy to coax. Secondly, I thought that all farmers in the county had planted it. Although this kind of thing had never been seen before, it was actually not a rare thing. How could it be worth paying a high price to buy it? ?
Of course, the price will definitely not be low if the purchase is made into a quilt and sold.

Not only will it not be low, but it will be high, very high.

Unexpectedly, most of the people planted this cotton with resistance when they first planted it. In addition, they didn't know how to care for it at first, so it's unreasonable for the growth to be good!
The most important thing is that it has not been topped, and the result is naturally very small.Not only less, but also small.

In this way, the number is really not too much.

In addition, although the country people are easy to coax, but once the news about the cotton quilt spreads, who is willing to sell the cotton after collecting it?

The worst thing for the poor is to spend the winter. Some cannot afford felt blankets or kapok quilts, so they can only cover them with soft mats made of straw or animal skins such as dog skins and cowhide.

Now that we have cotton, and it is produced in our own fields, and we don’t need to spend money to buy it, the first few people in the family don’t have enough to make quilts. Who would be willing to sell it?
Even if the price is very attractive, most people have withstood the temptation.

So in a circle, the merchants who earned far less than expected had to raise the purchase price.

In this way, as soon as the competition between each other started, the price was raised higher and higher. By the end of September, it had reached the point of eight taels of silver for a catty of cotton!

Such a high price finally made most of the people unable to withstand the temptation and sold it!

Lian Fangzhou knew the news, and specially wrote to Fang Qing and Su Jinghe, saying that the price agreed before would remain unchanged, and the selling price of the quilt would not change.

Fang Qing and Su Jinghe quickly wrote back to her, expressing that they had no objection.

The couple and Master Su couldn't help sighing, treating her a little more sincerely.After all, it is not easy at all for those in this world who are not dazzled by wealth, especially those who are not originally rich.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, cotton is the busiest season for harvesting, and Lian Fangzhou finally hired enough people to pick it.Another twenty people were hired to remove cottonseed.

Sixty thousand catties have been sent to the Su family, all of which have been removed from the cottonseed.There are also three thousand quilts made by their own workers, with two specifications of seven catties and eight catties.

Because of borrowing the sales channel of the Su family, Lian Fangzhou reduced the profit by five taels of silver for each quilt to the Su family, but Fang Qing and Su Jinghe had no choice but to accept it.

Even so, the cotton and quilts sent over this month earned more than 50 taels!

The various costs thus incurred are basically negligible in the face of this astronomical figure.

Fortunately, when everyone saw the ostentatious carriage transporting cotton to the Su family, they thought that the Su family planted it with Lian Fangzhou's hands. They didn't know that Lian Fangzhou made such a fortune, which saved her a lot of money. Trouble, there is no need to spend your thoughts on this.

As for the Su family, who would dare to think of their family?
That night, Lian Li's family had dinner, and Lian Hai said to Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, let's help Fangzhou and the others pick cotton tomorrow!"

"What did you say!" Qiao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted angrily, "You asked me to pick cotton for her!"

"You are not allowed to go, our family does not lack those few wages, it is serious for you to study hard at home!" Lian Li said.

The couple looked at each other, feeling a little sour in their hearts.

The cotton thing can be said to be the most sensational and eye-catching thing today.

Lian Li and Qiao Shi felt envious and jealous of Lian Fangzhou in their hearts, the couple were so depressed because of this, they didn't eat or sleep well for several days.

Although both of them thought that Lian Fangzhou was just working for the Su family, but the Su family was leaking such a big benefit, which was enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for several years!
This damn girl is really lucky!

Qiao's heart was full of discomfort, and she tried to find out how much money the Su family had distributed to Lian Fangzhou and the others. She even asked Qing'er, but unfortunately no one told her what she wanted to know.

She is not happy in her heart!It is cursing that Lian Fangzhou will be unlucky!But the son asked himself to help her. Isn't this poking her heart and lungs with a knife!

"It's not a matter of wages!" Lian Hai frowned and said, "Anyway, I have my own reasons for how I do it, and you'll know when the time comes! Mom, you don't have to go, anyway, I will go tomorrow !"

"You!" Qiao said in a trembling voice, holding his breath in his chest, "you, are you still my son! You don't want to help me teach that damn girl a lesson, but you actually forced me to bow my head to her! I No! You are not allowed to go either! If you dare to go, I, I—"

Joe, I didn't know how to threaten my son for a long time.

Lian Li thought for a while, but suddenly grabbed Qiao Shi, nodded and said: "Go! Let's all go! Logically, we are a family, so we should help! It can't be compared to outsiders. Isn’t it? Ah Hai, it’s fine for your mother to pick cotton. Let’s go and ask if there is anything else we can help. This time Fangzhou employs so many people, don’t we need someone to take care of them? What if they steal the cotton! We are also thinking of Fangzhou!"

Qiao Shi was about to contradict her husband in a fit of rage, but when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and fell silent.

As for the cotton seeds, of course her family didn't sell them to Lian Fangzhou at the beginning, and she scattered them in the field by herself.

But he didn't take care of it and left it to fend for itself.

When the cotton incident spread like a storm, the couple rushed to the field to look.I was dumbfounded, half of them died without knowing when, and the remaining half were sparsely struggling to survive among the weeds. The cotton bolls produced were not only rare, but also thin and lonely. Woolen cloth!

The couple were very disappointed, and complained to each other about it.He even held a grudge against Lian Fangzhou's family's good harvest.

At this time, Lian Li's word "steal" made Qiao's mind active.
