Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 148 Buying People, Big Harvest (5)
The goods and the money are both settled, the transaction is happy, and each other has something on their minds!
Declining Zhou Ming's kind invitation to dinner, Zhang Xiaocao and Le Lin took 53 people away from Mingji Yaxing. Suddenly, a person rushed out from behind, but it was Shen Nian...

In the end, Zhang Xiaocao took 54 people directly to the Linjiang Inn, asked for four bunk rooms, separated them from men and women, put them to rest, and took them back at dawn tomorrow.

Looking at the people who were even more anxious, Zhang Xiaocao felt that if he didn't explain the matter clearly to them, he would not be able to sleep at night, and everyone would not be able to relax.

Clearing her throat, she smiled at 53 pairs of hopeful and worried eyes, subconsciously glanced at Shen Nian who wanted to follow her back but still kept his head down and refused to speak, and then said: "My family is just an ordinary family. Farmers, the family population is also simple, buy you back to do other things, just farming, tending crops, if you are not willing or think farming is too tiring, you can tell me now, I will not force you to go with me! Of course , If you are willing to go with me, I will definitely not treat you badly. You should think about it now. If you don’t want to go with me, just tell me before you leave tomorrow. If you don’t want to say it in person, you don’t have to come out before you leave tomorrow! "

After all, without looking at the reaction of the crowd, he ordered the waiter at the side to bring some food over as soon as possible, then went upstairs and returned to his room.

After working for a long time, it was almost dark. Zhang Xiaoyuan originally planned to go to the academy to see Mu Hua, but the unitary hour had already passed, and he couldn't come out. He thought that it was only two days before the end of the month, and we would see him when he came back. Arrived, so I didn't go, planning to take people back with Le Lin early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Le Lin came over. After he gathered everyone together, Zhang Xiaocao took a look and found that no one had left, and there was no anxiety or fear in everyone's eyes. Hope!

Zhang Xiaocao smiled, and didn't say anything else, but asked Le Lin to arrange them separately, take them into a few rented carriages, and take them to the pier first to wait!

Zhang Xiaocao stood alone at the door of the inn and waited for half an hour, but until she left the inn and arrived at the riverside, she didn't see the man coming. She felt a little lost, and felt that she was nervous, so she refused sternly before. , but she still thinks about it in her heart, she even despises herself like this!
When everyone boarded the boat, the boat was farther and farther away from the pier, and Zhang Xiaocao was no longer in the mood to look forward to it. She bent down on the side of the boat and vomited, but did not find the pier. There was someone with bloodshot eyes rushing over, but he could only look at the ship getting farther and farther away in annoyance!
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaocao went back to Zhangjia Village alone in a bullock cart. All 54 people were taken to Ganglou Village by Le Lin and arranged there. It is summer, and there are houses there that can still be crowded, and the cotton is about to be harvested. , Just let them have something to do, adapt to adapt!Wait for Zhangjia Village to buy the land and build a house, and then take them over and settle down!

A few days later, Mu Hua came back, and this time he was alone, Zhang Xiaocao was a little disappointed, but was quickly overshadowed by the news that the cotton could be picked!

In the cotton field, Zhang Xiaocao excitedly looked at the cotton plants in front of him, with white flowers like snow balls, and suddenly felt the urge to cry!
This is the cotton she started planning last year. In order to buy land to grow it, she and her grandma woke up at midnight and slept in the middle of the night. In the winter, they sold glutinous rice cakes for a whole winter, and because of this, they were almost framed!

Later, it was wasteland reclamation and fertilization, pest control and drought resistance. I was so busy that I poured countless efforts into it. Now I see the harvest is imminent and the small cotton seeds have turned into white cotton. How can I not be excited? ?
Mu Hua's face on the side is very calm, only he knows how happy he is, his sister's hard work has finally paid off, her sister has fulfilled her wish and successfully planted high-yielding cotton, he should work harder and grow up , protect my sister earlier, so that she can always do what she likes to do, and always wanton and happy!

Surrounded by onlookers, apart from Zhang Xiaocao and the others, they are the happiest. As long as they can sign a contract with Mr. Le, they will be able to grow cotton next year, and when the time comes, they will be like this cotton field. All soft white!

Of course, there are also many people who are jealous. They are villagers from several nearby villages. They all rushed over to take a look when they heard that a girl in Zhangjia Village had grown cotton. I wish that all these cottons belonged to their family. Look, how much is such a large piece of cotton worth? I'm afraid I have to use a wardrobe to store it!
Looking at Han Da and the others who were equally excited, Zhang Xiaocao raised his right hand high, and with a trembling voice, he said loudly to them: "Everyone, follow what I said, and pick the cotton by grade. Let's start!"

After finishing speaking, she took the lead with a cloth bag, approached a cotton plant with six blooming cotton plants, and carefully picked the first cotton flower!
Seeing this, Han Da and the others went down to the field one after another, and carefully picked the cotton that carried the hopes of countless people.

It took thirteen people four full days to finish picking the [-] mu of cotton. In a few days, those bolls that bloomed later will burst again, and then they will continue to harvest until all the bolls are gone.

Looking at the cotton bags piled up in the main room, in the room, and even under the eaves, Zhang Xiaocao just wanted to lie on them and not get down. The first cotton picked this time was dried and weighed, and there were nearly seven thousand jin, more than 140 jins than she expected, and the head cotton has not been soaked by rain, it burst open after the rain, and almost all of it is high-quality cotton, which is nearly 1000 jins of seed cotton, according to the market price of [-] jin. Counting [-] taels of cotton, this head of cotton can be sold for [-] taels of silver!

Calculated in this way, the remaining cotton bolls in the field can produce at least about 800 catties of high-grade cotton, and about 400 catties of medium-grade cotton and low-grade cotton. On this [-]-mu land, the annual cotton income is [-] taels, excluding the expenses of buying land, labor, seeds, etc., the net profit is as high as [-] taels!
After getting this data, Zhang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes with a smile, not only the [-] mu of land, but also half of the [-] mu of land in Ganglou Village, and in two days, the cotton heads over there will also be picked!

Grandma Zhang at the side looked at the smirk on her granddaughter's face, and joked: "You, I watch it several times a day, and I don't get tired of it!"

Zhang Xiaocao laughed and said, "What are you tired of? This is all silver. When this batch of cotton is sold, there will be 1000 taels of silver. Granddaughter is happy, but grandma is not happy?"

When Grandma Zhang heard it, she also laughed, and said with emotion: "Grandma didn't approve of you planting cotton at first, but she didn't help you much later. You made all these things yourself. If it weren't for you, grandma would still be living alone. I don't know why I'm so sad! Although we are not relatives, you treat grandma as your own grandma, and grandma has enjoyed your blessing!"
