A small peasant girl

Chapter 443 The Cotton Affair

"Uncle Wen, I need a thousand bolts of cloth now, and I will need more in the future." After Wenzi finished speaking, he opened the money bag he was carrying, took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, "Uncle Wen, this is the fixed money , you first use it to buy cloth."

"It's not going to work. There's nothing about the cloth. When I have the cloth, we will count the money together." Father Wen felt that he was from the Wen family village, and they were all from the same village. Similarly, the monk can’t run away from the temple anyway. His roots are in Wenjia Village, and he will not flee the place where he grew up with his family for a little cloth.

"Uncle Wen, you paid the money to the villagers first, otherwise they would not receive the money after giving the cloth, and it would not be good for Uncle Wen to collect the money if it was passed on. My uncle wanted this piece of cloth very urgently. "Wen Zi explained.

"Oh, then, then I'll write you a note?" Seeing that Wenzi insisted on giving the money, and his argument made some sense, Father Wen reached out and took the ten taels of silver with trembling hands. He was afraid that he had never seen or touched such a thing. That's a lot of money.

"Uncle Wen, the family doesn't need to write a note. It seems alien. By the way, Uncle Wen, I don't know which village nearby produces cotton?" After solving the cloth problem, Wenzi started to have a headache about cotton again. The cost is estimated based on the price of cotton on the market, but if you can buy a bolt of good quality and cheap cotton, you can save a lot of money.

"Girl Wenzi, if you want to buy cotton, you have to ask your aunt. She is from Chenjia Village, so she must know more about cotton than we do." Mother Wen told her what she knew in time. It was also in a casual chat many years ago that Mrs. Chen mentioned the cotton planting in Chenjia Village.

Chenjiacun is very far away from the town, and there are several villages in between, so it is reasonable for Wenzi to know nothing about Chenjiacun.

The geographical location of Chenjia Village is different from that of several nearby villages. The terrain there is mostly flat, with almost no mountains. The fertile soil is suitable for growing cotton, and the annual output is much higher than that of growing grain.

The price of a catty of cotton is much higher than a catty of grain. If the harvest is good, the entire village of Chenjia Village can sell tens of thousands of catties of cotton.As long as the cotton harvesters don't do some small tricks, the villagers of Chenjia Village who only make money from selling cotton can live a happy and nourishing life.

"Aunt Wen, in that case I have to marry and find my aunt, so I won't bother you for now." Hearing Mother Wen's reminder, Wen Zi couldn't sit still as if his butt was on fire. We have to talk about family affairs next time.

"Girl Wenzi, do you want to go after dinner at your uncle's house?" Father Wen's original intention was just to keep Wenzi for a light meal, without thinking too much.

"Father, Wenzi is worried about Cotton, why don't we invite her over for dinner next time, and we can prepare well." Wen Xiaodu saw that Wenzi was worried about Cotton, and then opened her mouth to help explain, she still has some eyesight It's exciting, knowing that Liu's family has rich relatives, there must be a lot of things to do, so Wenzi politely said that he would stay for dinner.

"Then, it's not going to work, why don't you go and cook a bowl of sugared eggs for Wenzi girl." Mother Wen seemed to remember something and immediately told Wen Xiaodu to pay attention to etiquette, urging Wen Xiaodu eagerly Treat Wenzi who came to the house well, the Liu family has brought a business deal to the family, and it is not easy to neglect it due to emotion and reason.
