Chapter 468 Asking for Rewards

 "Of course." She changed the genetic sequence of these cotton seeds.

This kind of technology was already very mature in the era she lived in, so she was not worried.

Now, she is worried about how to spin and weave the cotton after it is harvested.

Jiangcheng has never had a place to grow cotton before, so few people here know how to spin and weave.

There are several cloth clothing stores in Jiangcheng, including Cuiyu's Yupinge and Hu Tang's Xuanyage. Their sources of fabrics are purchased from Zhuangzi in other places.

The main material of the clothes they sell is silk.

Jiangcheng is a remote, mountainous place with a suitable climate and many mulberry trees.

Therefore, they all raised silkworms and reeled silk, and the clothes they supplied to the court were famous for their silk products and exquisite embroidery patterns.

In Jiangcheng, in terms of the area of ​​mulberry forests, the scale of sericulture, and the number of silk reeling workers, the Jiang family is undoubtedly second to none.

Xia Qianqian believes that one of the purposes of Cuiyu encouraging her to grow cotton was to find someone who could compete with the Jiang family's monopoly on clothing materials.

"Did you know?" He looked at him sideways, his eyes complicated and difficult to describe, "Your sometimes seemingly blind confidence always brings unspeakable surprises to others!"

Because of this surprise, people can’t help but want to get closer.

He was born in a palace, and there were too many women in the palace.

The aloof queen and concubine, the humble and reserved old woman, the timid and timid little palace maid, all types of women can be found in that palace with high walls.

But he has never seen a woman like her.

She was obviously born in a farm family, but her temperament is neither silent nor humble.

She has clearly never been to school, but there seems to be a heavenly book hidden in her mind.

Yes, it’s a heavenly book.

There are many things that are so weird that they make him, who has read many books, feel ashamed.

She is like a wild flower that pops out from the cracks in the rocks on the edge of the cliff. It is inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact it is extremely precious and a rare worry-relieving flower in the world.

She can relieve people's worries and share their worries, making people feel happy just by looking at her.

His eyes were so hot that Xia Qianqian stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "What are you doing, are you so stunned?"

Ji Zimo came back to his senses and joked: "Your cow was sick. I sent you here in time and saved its life. Should you reward me now?"

Xia Qianqian: "..."

Your Highness is a virtuous king who has no worries about food and drinks. What reward do you want?

"Okay." She agreed.

There is no doubt that what happened today was indeed thanks to his timely appearance.

"What do you want?"

she asked.

Seeing that he was about to speak, he hurriedly changed his words: "The reward you want must be within my ability."

Xiao Jiujiu came to her heart.

The cowshed needs to be re-located. At that time, the land cost, renovation fees, workers' wages, and the hot and sour noodle shop in Jiangcheng will be opened. It will definitely require too much investment in the early stage.

She has about three thousand taels of silver on hand, but facing such a large project, she will also face a shortage of funds.

Therefore, her money must be spent wisely, and every copper cannot be spent carelessly.

"I want a gift from you."

"No matter how high or low you are?" Xia Qianqian writes the word "poor" above her head, and now she just thinks about saving money.

"No matter how high or low it is, it must be something you cherish. Never give it to anyone else as a gift."

This requirement may seem simple, but it is difficult to achieve.

"How about I make you a unique pastry." Her eyes lit up and she suggested.

"Is that the only one?" He said disgustedly: "Anyone can eat the pastries you make, not just for me."

"Okay, let me think about it."

The two of them walked around the field for a while, then turned around and walked back.

When we arrived at the west end of the village, the villagers also got up one after another to start eating and tidying up the front and back yards.

The day before yesterday, Xia Qianqian returned to the village and gave the villagers three days to pack the beans. If the beans are of good quality, they can earn five more copper coins.

Therefore, many people pour the beans on the mat at the door and dry them while picking out the debris.

Seeing Xia Qianqian coming over, some people were embarrassed and hurriedly threw their bags on the straw mat, trying to cover the beans.

Xia Qianqian seemed not to notice, and greeted with a smile, "Aunt Xu, Aunt Wang, have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat!"

Seeing her enthusiasm, the others also stood up and hurriedly said hello.

When I walked to the door of Zhang Dashu, the door was ajar, and on the straw mat spread out in the yard, there was a mat of beans with a lot of impurities spread out.

Zhang Dashu was sitting on a small stool, with his hunched back and his waist carefully picking out the debris.

Xia Qianqian pretended not to see it, chatted and laughed with Ji Zimo and walked back.

At the gate of the Xia family, Hu Tang sat on the big stone at the door, leaning against the door frame. When he saw the two people coming back, he looked unhappy, "Why did it take so long to come back?"

Xia Qianqian smiled: "It will be very slow if you walk step by step. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"I can't do it, I feel so uncomfortable!"

As soon as she cared about him, Hu Tang pushed further and further. He kicked off his legs and collapsed directly on the stone. "My head is so dizzy, and I have acid reflux and cramping in my stomach. It's really uncomfortable."

Ji Zi followed with a dark face, and Hu Tang went overboard, "Qianqian, I feel so uncomfortable right now, please rub it for me!"

Xia Qianqian is not a brainless fool, she can see through his weirdness at a glance.

"Uncle Wang," she called to the people watching at the door, "the cow has an upset stomach. It's up to you to help him knead it. There's not much difference between humans and cows. You can knead it for Mr. Hu."

"Okay!"

Uncle Wang was very cooperative. He rolled up his sleeves and started to work. Hu Tang was so frightened that he straightened up in a hurry, waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just drank some hot water and I feel much better."

"Much better?"

Xia Qianqian looked surprised and pretended not to believe it, "I don't think it's possible. You have just recovered and you have been feeling nauseous and uncomfortable today. You will definitely not be able to ride a horse when you return to Jiangcheng."

Xia Qianqian warned: "Uncle Wang, I will trouble you to make a trip later to take Mr. Hu back to the Hu Mansion."

"I don't need him to give it to me!" Hu Tang flatly refused: "I want you to give it to me."

Xia Qianqian turned around and glanced at Ji Zimo behind her, "When I came here, I came on the same horse as Young Master Mo. We have to go back together to catch up on time."

She said with a straight face, "Hu Tang, please calm down and take Uncle Wang's carriage back later. Remember, don't force yourself to ride a horse. If you fall off the horse on the road, no one will save you."

"I..." Hu Tang wanted to say something else.

Xia Qianqian called to Ji Zimo, "Let's go quickly, I have to rush back to the college for class."

"Okay!"

Ji Zimo got on the horse, bent down to hold her waist, and hugged her directly onto the horse's back.

"Let's go!"

He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of Jiangcheng.

Geng Zhong immediately got on his horse, and when he was about to leave, Hua Zhuer trotted forward and timidly said: "Brother Geng, can you take me with you?"

She rode Uncle Wang's carriage to Fu'an Village without any help, and now she has to jostle back again.

She doesn't want to, let alone stay with that young man who likes to act coquettishly.

Geng Zhong did not hesitate, grabbed her, threw her on the back of his horse, and warned: "Hold on tight."

Four people and two horses galloped away, raising dust all over the ground.

Hu Tang was so angry that he wanted to jump up and scream, but his stomach really hurt.
