Teases the peasant girl to be busy

Chapter 194 Picking Cotton

When Gu Shuang said that he was hungry, everyone realized that they had talked so many things at the door, and quickly brought Gu Shuang inside.After entering the door, Aunt Li had already quickly prepared a meal.

"Girl, you've been out for more than half a year, and you're finally back. I made a lot of delicious food, so hurry in."

Uncle Li still wanted to say something when he heard Aunt Li: "You can talk about things later, I want the girl to eat."

Gu Shuang also nodded: "That's right, Uncle Li doesn't have any urgent matters right now, so let's leave it at that. By the way, Big Brother and Second Brother have passed the test in your hometown. What's next?"

Gu Wen and Gu Wu smiled: "You should eat first, and then talk after eating."

Gu Shuang grumbled, and quickly finished his meal. After the family chatted about the past for a long time, Gu Shuang felt a little sleepy, so he went to rest, and slept until the next morning.

Only then did he feel refreshed, and Aunt Li delivered food right away. After Gu Shuang finished eating, he saw Uncle Li standing beside him: "Uncle Li, good morning."

The corner of Uncle Li's mouth twitched: "Morning girl, I'm talking about business matters. Apart from what was written in the letter, our production of aloe vera cream has increased a lot."

"Especially above the workshop, another row of houses has been built, which is enough to make the goods needed. The other thing is the cotton thing, how to collect it?"

Gu Shuang snorted: "Well, how about this, you go organize the manpower first, we will let people collect the cotton today, and then I will go to the carpenter to make something to pluck the cotton."

"This winter, we have cotton coats and quilts to cover."

Saying that Gu Shuang had stood up, Uncle Li quickly went to gather all the old and young people in the village. Of course, there was no Gu Huang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here.

Speaking of which, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have now tasted the bitter fruit, especially Gu Huang, whose sons and grandchildren will not come back, and there are only two people and women in the family, and their lives are very depressed.

At the beginning of spring this year, they even rented out all the land, and lived directly on the rent. If there was something going on in Gu Shuang's house, they would never let the two of them come.

Now is the time to be free, and the whole village is very free, so as soon as the people are called, they will be all together, and then Gu Shuang will start to let each person carry a backpack and start picking cotton.

After the cotton was picked from the top, it was piled up in one room. A total of [-] mu of cotton was planted. After all the cotton was picked, the newly built warehouses in Gu Shuang's house were filled.

After spending five days picking all the cotton, Gu Shuang began to have people remove the seeds in the cotton, and then started to bring in the tools for picking cotton, and started asking people to pluck the cotton.

Of course these Gu Shuangs don’t know how to do it, but they can exchange the method from No. [-], and taught the brothers of the Xiong family how to play cotton. Fifty acres of cotton is quite a lot.

A total of [-] catties of cotton was received. Gu Shuang looked at the cotton and finally decided to use it for quilts except for two cotton coats for each person in the family.

The covers in my own home, those that can’t be covered can be given away or sold. Gu Shuang thought about it, and Zhan Wang can also send a few beds over.

That's how the matter was settled. After Gu Shuang had arranged all the family affairs, he went to the town for a walk. The shops in the town were doing very well.

The aloe vera paste business here alone is already very good. The first time Gu Shuang entered the town, Mrs. Zhou got the news and called the maid beside her to the shop.

"Miss Shuang, my wife invites you to come to the house!"

Gu Shuang snorted: "Thank you, sister, for sending the letter. I'll go now. But I'll go to the store first, so I can't come empty-handed!"

I went to the store to get some gifts, and then went up to the county magistrate's mansion. When I arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Shuang with a smile on her face: "You girl, you have been playing outside for half a year. How are you?"

Gu Shuang smiled: "Aunt Wen, you are envious of me being able to play everywhere! Of course I played well. This is a gadget for you. I saw it outside and thought you would like it."

It is a big pearl held in the hand, but it is pierced and can be hung up. It is very beautiful.Mrs. Zhou took it over and looked at it: "It's really beautiful, it's hard for you."

"You can still think of me when you go out to play, but I asked you to come here today to see if you have suffered outside, but seeing your small appearance, it should be that you have not suffered."

"Secondly, the production of aloe vera paste is getting higher and higher. Should we think about it and develop towards Kyoto? You may not know it after you have been outside for so long."

"Aloe vera paste has become popular in the whole of Kyoto. If you don't go to Kyoto to open a store, the next business may not be easy. There are many nobles in Kyoto, and you should understand."

After thinking about it, Gu Shuang can actually understand that the ultimate goal of all good things is to go to the capital, and An County has already developed very well, and even Fucheng can be ignored directly.

He also laughed, and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Aunt Wen, I understand, when I get the cotton thing done at home, I'll set off for Kyoto, and it's best to get things done before the end of the year. "

"It's good to go home for the New Year. I want to go to the capital to see if there is any aloe vera. If there is, I will build a workshop in the capital, so that it will not be transported all the way."

Seeing that Gu Shuang had an idea, Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Okay, then when are you going to leave, let me know. I'm going back to Kyoto this year for the New Year, and I happen to be walking with you."

Gu Shuang nodded: "Understood Aunt Wen, then I will leave first."

After leaving the county magistrate's mansion, Gu Shuang was actually very happy in his heart, and wandered into the medical clinic. The news of Mr. Lin's return was already full of ups and downs.

So some patients almost surrounded the entire hospital, but Gu Shuang is a famous person, he looked up and saw Gu Shuang: "Doctor Shuang is back too."

Gu Shuang nodded: "Hello, I'm going in to see my master."

After talking, he walked in. The people outside were really enthusiastic. Looking at Mr. Lin, he said, "Master, what's the matter with your medical center? Why are there so many people?"

Mr. Lin glanced at Gu Shuang in a bad mood: "It's not a good thing you did. It's okay to close the door of the medical clinic. Now that it's reopened, can people not pay attention?"

"By the way, I'll run a medical clinic here in the future. When I'm retired, it's up to you what you want to do."

Gu Shuang was funny when he heard this: "Master, I'm not afraid that the son will do as you please!"
