Chapter 99 Harvesting Cotton
"This business is between us. If I don't make money, neither will you. You certainly don't want that, so why should I worry about it!"
Xu Shaoting received a reply from Qin Yu.
I felt a kind of indescribable unease in my heart.
But considering Qin Yu's current situation, he knew that nothing could be said, so he could only give up.
He can wait until Qin Yu finishes his mourning period three years later!
Qin Yu was unaware of Xu Shaoting's thoughts and was simply focused on his work.
Seeing that Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, Xu Shaoting stopped talking.
Next, we started looking for a construction team in Yuzhou to build a high-end restaurant.
After handing over the matter to Qin Yu, Xu Shaoting went to Yuzhou.
Qin Yu continued to shuttle between the village workshop and the workshop.
When they arrived in the village that day, they heard many villagers discussing the cotton fields.
Qin Yu was unaware of what had happened.
After making some inquiries, I learned that the cotton in the field had started to bud.
Some even spoke up.
No one in the village had ever seen it before, and they didn't know what it was.
Because she had previously led Qin's team in pollination, everyone knew that these acres of land belonged to Qin Yu.
Some people want to pick cotton bolls.
But after looking at it carefully, I didn't dare to touch it, and I was completely baffled.
Lin Erniu's mother was pushed and shoved by Zhu Huahong into Qin Yu's courtyard.
"Lu Chen's wife, we noticed you've planted so many fruits in your field, what are they?"
As Erniu's mother spoke, she looked somewhat embarrassed.
The whole village knew that Qin Yu was capable and had moved his whole family to the town.
Therefore, in their eyes, everything Qin Yu made was good.
Some people wanted to cause trouble, but Qin Yu's brother from her maternal family had a violent temper.
Therefore, no one dared to cause any damage.
But deep down, they were hoping that Qin Yu could lead them to do it together.
Qin Yu saw several women gathered around a cotton field.
She thought for a moment and then spoke.
"I met two people from out of town at the market. They said they could grow snow-white cotton that would keep you warm in winter if you wore it or covered up with it!"
"Oh no, have I been tricked? This fruit is all black and looks like something to eat!"
"Yes, you haven't been scammed, have you?"
As everyone began to discuss the matter, they assumed that Qin Yu had been deceived.
As they were talking, some people were already reaching out to pick them.
"These aren't easy to pick; if you pick them, you'll have to pay for them!"
Qin Yu glared at Zhu Huahong's outstretched hand.
"I only bought it because I saw the cotton in their hands!"
Thinking that it would be cotton picking time in a month, he said to everyone.
"The seller said they'll be collecting it next month. Aunt Lin, why don't you help me find a few people to collect it then?"
They'll have to plant these things sooner or later anyway, so it's better to just tell them they're good stuff.
"Really?"
Erniu's mother was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe it.
She had inquired and found out that Qin Yu paid his workers relatively high wages.
Although there isn't much work, the requirements aren't high either.
Now that this good thing has happened to me, I can hardly believe it.
"You don't want to?"
"Of course not, of course I'm willing!"
"Yes, since you said it, of course I'm willing!"
Everyone readily agreed.
There's no room for reluctance.
Looking at what's in front of me now, I don't think it's a lie anymore.
"Then you ladies need to take good care of them. If they get picked or pulled up by others, you won't be able to earn any money!"
Qin Yu said this so that they would all keep an eye on things for him.
That way, some saboteurs won't pull up all the cotton later.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on things for you!"
Qin Yu left the field ridge with a smile.
After the rice is harvested, it's time to harvest the cotton.
I don't need to worry about the rice.
Because they will thresh rice like they thresh wheat.
She doesn't need to worry about it much.
Just cotton; we need to prepare a lot of it.
First, draw four tools for fluffing cotton.
Finding a place to store the cotton is the first priority.
To store cotton and to pick cotton seeds, you need a lot of space.
Therefore, she began to seriously consider it.
After much thought, I decided to find a warehouse in town.
It can be stored and is convenient to transport.
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The rice harvest began on October 3rd.
As expected, the farmers were stunned by the bumper harvest of rice.
I never imagined that there would actually be two kinds in one year.
When the rice harvest began, she pretended to book an inn.
I went to the county government office during the day.
"Young Master Qin, the rice yield is truly high! This year's harvest is excellent! Your method is feasible!"
Magistrate Zhao praised him again and again.
Just like wheat, after the rice is harvested, the rice ears are threshed down.
After the rice is harvested, it is dried in the sun for a few days, and then everyone is threshed.
The stone mill crushed the rice husks, revealing the white rice inside.
Everyone thought it would be ground up and made into dough, just like wheat.
Without saying a word, Qin Yu cooked a pot of rice.
I thought it was made from flour, but it turned out to be white rice with a sweet taste.
Such a harvest left a deep impression on the farmers' hearts.
Young Master Qin's name spread throughout the entire town of Qingshui.
The news quickly spread to other towns.
Zhao Lin was also consulted by several county magistrates.
Inquire about planting methods, such as how to grow two crops in one field.
They were incredibly busy, but they didn't forget to make sure Qin Yu's name reached the capital.
Zhao Lin sent the information about the high rice yield and the two varieties per year, along with the tribute of white rice, directly to the capital.
It took two months to travel to and from the capital.
By the time Qin Yu found out, it was too late to stop Zhao Lin.
Cotton harvesting begins on October 15th.
This incident caused quite a stir in the village.
Because no one has ever seen cotton.
The cotton, whiter than snow, drew a crowd of onlookers from the village.
It feels very soft and comfortable to hold in your hand.
No one has ever heard of it or seen it, so it's normal to be curious.
Qin Yu was pleased to discover this.
Because they saw it, it means they can accept it.
The villagers saw cartloads of cotton being transported out of the village, but they didn't know where it was going.
Qin Yu had it transported to a warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
They hired a dozen or so female workers and taught them how to pick out cotton seeds.
Originally, it was only a hundred kilograms of cotton seeds, but the survival rate was relatively high and the yield was relatively good.
One mu of land yielded 300 jin of cotton.
Strangely enough, the seeds given in the space all had a relatively good harvest.
She harvested less than a thousand kilograms of seeds, and the space gave her the same seeds.
In this way, they can be planted in the village first.
Once the cotton was collected, a few people were hired to fluff it and make quilts.
The finished quilts were delivered to each household, one for each person.
They cut out small quilt covers and made more than a dozen small quilts, which were then sent to Jingcao Courtyard.
Then it was delivered to Qin Qiang and his parents.
After delivering the goods to the Qin family, two more were given to Xu Shaoting.
