Chapter 66
Li Qing's small book records his experience in growing cotton.

After harvesting this white dumpling, I will be able to finish the book in my hand.She has done market research, but there is no book on cotton cultivation, so her book should be the first of its kind.

First, she described the farmers' planting experience in detail, and then her own practical experience.The problems that occurred during the planting period, etc., have been recorded in detail.

In September, the cotton in the field is already mature cotton.Taking advantage of the good weather, Li Qing pulled Jiang to collect all the cotton in the field.

Cotton stalks are good materials for burning, and they were dragged back and forth many times, which exhausted the two of them.

Jiang looked at these big baskets of cotton and smirked, what a lovely cotton ball, it would be warmer at night with it.

Contrary to Jiang's thinking, what Li Qing thought was that there are special seeds in the cotton, and the seeds need to be picked out...you can't tear them with your hands.

There should be something called a cotton gin, but it didn't appear now, but it was in the Yuan Dynasty when cotton was promoted.

The Song Dynasty is gone, so what are you waiting for the Yuan Dynasty?
Li Qing wants us to take the credit of Huang Daopo?Now that she's written a strategy for growing cotton, it doesn't hurt to try to come up with some derivatives.Once it appears, there will be a revolution in the fabric industry at that time. It is better to take over all the dragons earlier and earn some money for fun.

Sometimes occupational diseases are not necessarily a bad thing.

She herself does not know how to do carpentry, let alone blacksmithing. She has read "Heavenly Creation", and the cotton gin can give a general idea.

As for the bow for playing cotton, it is even simpler, she has seen that thing before.

Li Qing felt that it was necessary to find a helper, and then flicked around to create a work that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.

The next day Yunji went to the school, Jiang was sorting out the cotton stalks, and in order to make it burn better, he had to cut it into sections.Some cotton has not died yet, so it needs to be dried again.

Li Qing took out a piece of charcoal from the stove hole, found a piece of wood, and started her creation.

Cotton gin, double-axis reverse rolling and hook teeth, it is not enough to use wood alone, it must be hard, with hook teeth on the top of the iron rod, which must be customized.I don't know if the blacksmith shop in the city will make it.

The pongee bow made of bamboo is not very durable, it is better to cut it out of wood, but the bow string must be made of beef tendon.It is difficult to eat cows, let alone buy their tendons.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.The idea is good, but it is difficult to put it into practice.

Li Qing finished drawing the picture, washed his hands, and went to Liu Erye's house with the board in his arms.He is a carpenter, and it is said that the ancestor of a carpenter is Lu Ban. I hope Erye Liu can understand the picture and make it.

……

"What do you think these two things are called?" Second Master Liu thought he was hallucinating, and just now Li Qing said that these things can be used to take out the seeds wrapped in the middle of cotton.There are at least seven or eight cottonseeds in a cotton flower, and there are more than a dozen.Ordinary people harvest cotton, and the cotton seeds are all torn out by themselves.This Lady Li is a person who does not follow the usual path.

And this one that looks like a bow, what is the use of this thing for cotton?
"Cotton gin and slingshot."

"Okay, I know most of the things. It's relatively simple to make, but you need something other than wood. You can get it after half a month." Liu Erye never said anything he was not sure about. The craftsmanship is decades old.There are at least dozens of apprentices who have been trained. How can they not even make such a small thing?

Li Qing paid the deposit.

You have to make money, if you don't make money, the family will drink northwest wind.

Jiang couldn't wait to tear the cotton by hand.

Li Qing walked home along the path, and found that his mother was tearing off the wrapper wrapped in cotton, which was the calyx before.She also joined Jiang's ranks.

"What are you doing so mysteriously today?"

Li Qing looked at Jiang's speed of tearing the cotton with her hands so fast that she was speechless. Even when she was talking, her hand speed never slowed down.

"Mother, take it easy, this thing is very difficult to handle." Li Qing said to Jiang Shi.

"You think I look like you! Young, with thin skin and tender flesh, my mother's hands and calluses are so thick." Jiang Shi said, throwing down the cotton, two fingers closed to show a gap, and gestured .

Li Qing smiled and said: "Where is it so exaggerated? Just make some jokes."

"Hey, I see that you didn't do anything this morning, what did you draw with charcoal?" Li Qing still couldn't change the topic just now, so he had to say frankly.

"I'm thinking that the cotton seeds won't come out easily, isn't it? Go to Liu Erye's house and make something. It will be very easy to remove the seeds then."

"It's really as amazing as you said?" Jiang thought that Li Qing was joking, and she didn't believe it at all.

"Look at the cotton here is at least twenty catties. Mr. Liu said to get it in half a month. Why don't we wait and see."

"You, keep it, I want to see what you can build." Jiang's face was full of helplessness.

What else can my daughter-in-law do?Pet it.

Anyway, she also planted the cotton, and she just helped to dig some holes and pick up some water.

"The pile of waste rocks in the corner, you should clean it up." Jiang pointed to the pile of things in the corner.

"..."

It was the bread cellar that had been piled up before, and it was soaked into slag by the flood, and Li Qing had left it there without cleaning it.

Ever since Mrs. Jiang knew that her strength was a little bit weak, the work of carrying baskets and so on was done by herself.For example, now Mrs. Jiang is directing herself to move stones openly and aboveboard.

But Jiang Shi also knows how to avoid taboos, she never asks Li Qing to carry heavy things in front of others, and as long as Li Qing doesn't trigger the buff of great strength, he can't even lift a bucket of water.

"Good girl."

Li Qing put down the cotton in her hand, Jiang's hand speed was like a small motor, she was not needed at all, she should move the stone.

The stone slabs are still good, it was the mud that soaked up and ruined the bread cellar.It took a lot of effort for Li Qing to pull out the stone slab and set it aside.I left it alone for a long time, and the mud was covered with moss and other small grasses.

Can we just let it pile up here?Why don't you get some more soil and make it into a flower bed?
Li Qing said quietly in his heart: You are such a clever little ghost.

After Mrs. Jiang finished the cotton, she got up to see if the area was clean, but Li Qing clapped her hands and put her hands on her hips.

Look at the pile of waste rock and mud being flattened, and the stone slabs are used as baffles to seal the mud inside, and some branches are inserted on the mud.

Jiang Shi: Can I take back my words of pampering her?

This is simply lawless!
I don't know if it's unsightly to put this thing in the yard?The key is to take up space.

She is really mad at her, she should do it by herself in the future, how unreliable Li Qing is, she has seen it more than once.

Li Qing looked back and saw that Jiang Shi was looking at her with a gloomy face, and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"Mother, see if this place is very beautiful..." Liang, Li Qing swallowed the last word, there are no flowers in it, what is it beautiful.Waiting for her to go to the temple to find a white plum plant in the twelfth lunar month.

But to stabilize Jiang's mood now, Li Qing said with a smile: "Oh, it's empty now, but I'm going to plant something in it, and it will be beautiful when the time comes."

 Today I have a good raise of buns.Give me all the tickets, ▄██● buzzing.
