Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 278 Go to Beijing
Here, Master Qin followed Qing Ning's instructions and quickly made the cotton ball as soft as a cloud.
"Is it okay to play it like this?"
Master Qin stopped exerting his strength and asked.
Qing Ning took a look and nodded, "Come and see how fluffier this cotton is." As he spoke, he gently stroked it with his hand.
The people around came forward quietly and took a closer look.
"It's so light and soft, can it really keep out the cold?"
Mr. Yu still felt that it was a little unreal.
The others thought the same, knowing only that the white folding cloth from the Western Regions was precious, but this one in its original state was really just as Qing Ning had said.
Qing Ning noticed everyone's expressions and also argued.
He turned around and found a few skillful weavers and asked them to continue, fixing the cotton with the thread.
Then he asked them to fix it, and used silk brocade to make the surface, and sew it up one by one.
"Aunt, aunts, you have really skillful hands. You sewed this quilt so well."
"Wow, the stitching is so dense!"
Qing Ning stood aside, and from time to time she would utter a compliment from her little mouth.
The weavers were so happy that they did their work more carefully.
"All right"
With the last stitch finished, a brand new quilt is ready.
"Grandpa Yu, pick up this quilt and take a look."
Qing Ning said to Mr. Yu.
Old Master Yu didn't understand what was going on, so he walked forward and was picked up by the man. The moment he held the quilt in his arms, his eyes lit up.
"This, this, this, it's not as light as I thought, it's quite heavy."
"Well, put it on the scale and see how heavy it is."
Soon someone brought a scale and, excluding the basket containing the quilt, the quilt weighed eight kilograms.
"Brother Pingchuan, come and take a look. This is really not light."
Old Master Yu was a little excited and asked everyone around him to come up and try it.
After their joy subsided, Guo Ziyi asked, "Qingning, we harvested 3,000 kilograms of cotton this time, and 2,600 kilograms of cotton seeds. Can we plant it on a large scale next year?"
Qing Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid large-scale planting won't work. Firstly, the seeds are limited, and secondly, only a few people know how to plant them."
"That said, I'm excited."
"Okay, look at you, you're not even as calm as a child."
Yu Feihong was speechless when she saw her husband like this.
"Hehe, Aunt Yu, I'm excited too."
Qing Ning's words were not just to help Guo Ziyi out of trouble, they were sincere.
“We are all excited”
Zhao Sitian was so excited that he almost cried.
"Grandpa Yu, can I participate in the disposal of this cotton?"
"Yes, of course not. If you can't, who can?"
Originally I thought of growing them and sending them to Shangjing, but the quantity is quite large, so there is no need to send all of them to Shangjing.
Furthermore, there are many things that can be made from cotton, but no one knows how to process it, so everyone relies on Qingning, and we need to discuss with her what to make.
Several people moved to another place to discuss where to go with the cotton.
Finally, after discussing it, they decided to take out 100 kilograms of material to spin yarn and weave cloth.
The rest are used to make quilts and cotton-padded clothes. Every one of them is made into a set of cotton-padded clothes to wear close to the body in winter.
Of course, in addition to cotton, various finished products were also sent to Shangjing. If you add up all the items, it would be just enough.
September is almost over, and the Chinese New Year is just around the corner in March. We are busy making cotton products and preparing for their return journey. We are really too busy to handle it all.
Because of the cotton issue, this year Yu Lao and his son decided to bring the Chen family to Shangjing together. Qing Ning needs to personally talk to the emperor about these things.
Old Mrs. Chen naturally didn't want to go, as the house would be empty without anyone at home for the whole year. However, she couldn't resist the invitations from her children, Old Mrs. Xue and others, and tried to persuade them in various ways every day.
Finally, Old Mrs. Chen decided that the whole family should go, leaving Zhao Qian and his mother to look after the house. She also greeted Chen Lin, the village chief and other people, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
Shi Shuanghu and his wife were terrified and did not dare to go with them, for fear that they would cause trouble in Shengdu and embarrass them.
Old Mrs. Chen didn't care and asked them to quickly arrange for the livestock and other things in the house and find reliable people to look after them. She would feel at ease only when everything was arranged.
In the following days, I was busy every day with farm products, workshop business, travel needs, etc.
Because Shangjing is in the north and the winter is very cold, Qingning asked people to make a lot of fur sweaters.
Thinking that she would have to move around a lot once she arrived in the capital, Qing Ning prepared gifts from various places in advance.
Such a small person is so busy that he is rarely seen every day.
The day of departure is approaching, and it was only on the day of official departure that I realized what a grand event meant.
The Chen family looked at this scene and were all amazed. They thought that the emperor’s tour was probably just like this!
Old Master Yu left Yu Ba and Yu San behind and took the rest back with him.
On the day of departure, the villagers came to see them off and prepared a lot of food for them to eat on the road.
The village chief also assured them that they would take care of the villagers' homes.
In addition to them, Old Madam Xue, and the Xu family, Zhou Yuerong with her children, and Princess Fu with several children also met them halfway.
The team was even bigger, and the Chen family was stunned.
Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mrs. Xue were riding in the same plane, and they couldn't even see everything.
There is a small stove inside, where you can make hot tea and play chess.
"Madam, this is the first time I've ridden in a carriage like this. It's truly an eye-opener."
Old Mrs. Chen did not hide in front of Old Madam Xue, nor was she afraid of being laughed at.
Mother Chen, minding the stove, said with a smile, "Old lady, you're probably making fun of us. We're really impressed by all the valuable things in your house."
"Oh, my family's stuff is nothing compared to what you have."
"Lan Fang is right, and you are right too. We are just opening each other's eyes, so no one should criticize the other."
Old Madam Xue followed their words and joked.
There were many people and plenty of time, so they sent a letter to the capital early. The various departments along the way had heard the news long ago and had made arrangements in various places, which saved them a lot of worries.
The journey was actually quite relaxing, and I wanted to see something new wherever I went.
Not to mention the elders, the children were having a great time.
The closer we got to Shangjing, the colder it got, and we encountered several snowfalls along the way.
In some places where the snow was deep, it was difficult to move forward, so we simply stayed there and waited for the servants to clear the road before moving forward.
