Chapter 143 Cotton

Jiang Zhixia looked at the flowers casually while regretting coming to attend the flower party. For her, this flower party was really boring.

The ladies in the garden all found people they knew. They were either chanting poems, making opposites, or playing chess.

Jiang Zhixia was alone and didn't want to force herself into a circle that was not suitable for her. So she could only hide beside and enjoy the flowers carefully.

Suddenly, her gaze was firmly attracted by a white flower.

The white flowers are divided into several petals and hung on the branches. Some have large green leaves on the branches, while others are bare.

Jiang Zhixia's heart was raised involuntarily.

"No, right? No, right? You won't be so lucky, right?"

She held her breath and walked over slowly while muttering.

As he approached the flower pot, Jiang Zhixia lowered her head and looked carefully. After smelling it, she seemed to caress the petals, but in fact she pinched it tightly and pulled it.

It's true, it's really cotton!

Cotton, cotton, what does this mean?

It means that you can spin it into cotton cloth to make all kinds of clothes, and you can wear a large cotton jacket in winter and cover it with a thick quilt.

It can make her already cold body warmer.

Given her feelings last year's cold winter, she has been committed to accumulating the fluff of chickens, ducks and geese. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to save that thing.

If you add cotton, make a down cotton jacket...

When Jiang Zhixia thought of this, her eyes lit up.

Although these fur clothes are quite warm nowadays, they are expensive after all. Even if she has money, she cannot buy them often to wear them.

Besides, fur clothes are fur after all, so they are too heavy. How lightweight cotton is.

Also, with cotton, can we abandon the terrible menstruation and make simple versions of sanitary napkins? Will that be a blessing for many women?

As a pioneer, this is a big deal. She can make money on her own while making benefits.

If it is really planted on a large scale in the future, it will be very beneficial to the common people.

The kudzu is rough and the silk is expensive, but the cotton cloth is just right.

Not to mention anything else, at least it will make the winter less "there are bones that are frozen to death on the road"?

This can be considered a great thing that benefits the country and the people, right?

Jiang Zhixia thought about it and couldn't help but jump.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia turned to look at the maid who was serving in the garden and gestured to her over.

After the maid came over, she saluted respectfully, "What are the instructions for the lady?"

"I want to ask, what is this flower called?"

Since they are serving in the back garden and under the name of a flowering party, these maids should know more or less about flowers, right?

Otherwise, the guest would not be able to answer any questions, and the loss of the owner's face.

"When it comes to my wife, this is called Mu Mianhua." The maid looked smart and she replied clearly.

"Mulianhua?" Jiang Zhixia murmured, and then praised: "This flower is special. I have never seen it before. I like it very much. I don't know where this flower comes from..."

Before Jiang Zhixia could finish her words, she heard Mrs. Cheng Anbo’s laughter coming from behind.

"If Miss Jiang likes this flower, I'll give it to you."

"Madam laughed."

Jiang Zhixia turned around and saw Mrs. Cheng Anbo coming with a group of wives behind her, and quickly saluted and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, my wife. But how can the little girl take away the wife's goodness?"

Although Jiang Zhixia really wanted cotton, she wanted more about the origin of cotton, so she declined.

She thought to wait for her wife to leave, and she would continue to find out where the cotton came from.

"What is this flower worth? To be honest, there are quite a few flowers in our family. There are still a few flowers in the family, so you can give them to the girl."

Mrs. Cheng Anbo looked at this flower that was not fragrant, not good-looking, and not valuable, but still enthusiastically wanted to send it out.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the cotton but still declined.

This flower is not worth the money at the moment. However, in the future, she will have to plant it on a large scale and then use it for business.

Now, after getting the favor of the other party’s flower, I don’t know what to use to repay it in the future.

You know, it’s easy to pay back money, but it’s hard to pay back favors.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia firmly refused.

Mrs. Lin, who saw everything on the side, had a look of satisfaction in her eyes. It would be great if she liked her but could refuse temptation.

"The flowers and plants in the courtyard are not only very good, but also many kinds."

When Jiang Zhixia saw Mrs. Cheng Anbo who was given a loss of face, she smiled a little less, so she quickly praised her.

After hearing the praise, Mrs. Cheng Anbo smiled reservedly, and then took the other ladies to continue visiting other flowers.

While pointing at the flowers of all colors, he said, "The flowers in my mansion are really something that I can't find outside."

The maid saw that she had nothing to do here and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhixia pressed her hand with her sleeve, and then she got a purse in her hand.

She looked up at Jiang Zhixia in surprise.

This maid just heard Mrs. Cheng Anbo call Jiang Zhixia as Miss Jiang, and she knew that she was not a lady from the official family.

Unexpectedly, I could get rewards.

"This girl, I have something to ask about." Jiang Zhixia finished giving the purse and asked quickly.

"Miss has any instructions, just say."

The maid held the purse in her hand and weighed it quietly. The purse was heavy and there was no such jingling sound as copper, so it should be a corner of silver. A corner of silver would have to be at least one tael. So the joy on her face was even better.

"I like this Mumian flower very much. However, I can't take the wife's favor just because I like it. So I want to ask where this flower comes from and buy some." Jiang Zhixia asked with a smile.

"This flower was brought into the mansion by the gardener Wang Bo to the mansion to present to the wife. Why not the girl went to the corner gate there, and the maid called Wang Bo over and asked him to tell the girl? The flower room was outside the corner gate."

The maid also pointed to a corner gate that could be seen in front of her with a smile.

Some ladies may not be willing to give rewards to others. This girl who is not visible and unrestrained is generous.

She also saw the scene just now. The wife wanted to give it to Miss Jiang, but she didn't want it.

Now, it is common sense that she wants to buy it herself. This is not a taboo thing.

"Then thank you, this girl. Please go and invite someone first. I'll go to that corner gate."

Jiang Zhixia was very happy. She knew that the cotton came from the best place, so she could buy seeds and cotton directly for use.

Cotton is different from peppers.

Chili is a kind of vegetable that is simple and easy to plant and bears many fruits, so it is not difficult to treat as seeds.

Not to mention, she also planted peppers in her previous life-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, cotton is different. The method of planting is not that simple, and she completely forgot about it.

However, most of all, she also took a scruple -- this is in someone's mansion.

So, she took Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman with her, but also pointed to a maid from Cheng Anbo's mansion and followed her.

When I arrived at the corner gate, I saw the maid who had been standing there waiting with a gray-haired old man.

When Jiang Zhixia saw them, she said she couldn't delay the affairs of the two maids, so she gave each a small purse worth 500 yuan, and then directly sent them away.

Only flower farmers, Jiang Zhixia, Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman were left at the scene.
