After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing wandered around the mountain without a goal, so he picked some medicinal materials that could be used in daily life.

While picking, he explained the functions of these medicinal materials to Mu Xi and Ruyi. Both of them felt quite shocked after hearing this.

Mu Xi said with admiration: "I didn't expect Madam to even know pharmacology. She is indeed very knowledgeable."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "How can it be so exaggerated? I only have a superficial understanding of this aspect."

The three of them were talking and laughing on the mountain. Yan Qingqing inadvertently glanced into the distance, and then her pupils shrank. She might have discovered the treasure again, so she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked in that direction.

Seeing her eagerness, Ruyi and Mu Xi quickly followed her.

Yan Qingqing walked to this densely packed plant. She was right that it was cotton.

With these things, you don't have to worry about getting cold in winter, and ordinary people can also wear cotton-padded clothes. Instead of a single mulberry linen cloth.

Ordinary people cannot afford to wear silk brocade these days. You can only wear clothes made of kudzu and hemp.

Although kudzu is breathable, its texture is too hard and not suitable for close-fitting wear, and its sweat absorption is not good.

Ruyi looked at Yan Qingqing's excited expression and asked, "Madam, this is a white stack, what's the use of it?"

Yan Qingqing frowned, Bai Die? It seems that cotton was called Baidie in ancient times.

Could it be that cotton has always been available in ancient times, but we didn’t know how to use it?

Yan Qingqing suddenly felt like a waste of natural resources.

So he looked at Ruyi and asked: "You said this thing is called Baidie, is it very common? Doesn't anyone know its use?"

Ruyi shook her head and replied: "This thing is indeed called Baidie, and it will bloom white or pink flowers first.

Later, it will bear white, soft fruit. The petals look like they are stacked on top of each other, which is very beautiful.

The slave also met me once when I was playing in the mountains when I was a child. I was hungry and secretly took a bite, but I couldn't chew it at all. "

Yan Qingqing:......

Isn't this just too hard to bite? The key is that it is not edible.

Yan Qingqing asked tentatively: "Isn't there anyone who uses it to make clothes?"

Ruyi said in confusion: "Madam, are you joking? How can I make clothes from this?"

The textile industry is not very developed now, and Yan Qingqing understands that there is no way to make it into cloth, but can't they stuff the cotton into clothes to make a sandwich?

However, Yan Qingqing quickly figured out that social progress must have a process. After all, the objects of later generations are the crystallization of the wisdom of working people for thousands of years.

With this cotton, their embroidery workshop can undergo qualitative changes, and maybe she can take this a step further.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing said: "Mu Xi, call all our people who are training in the mountains and ask them to transport these things home for me."

Mu Xi nodded quickly when he heard this, picked up the bone whistle and blew it.

Soon a group of half-grown children poured in from all directions.

When they saw Yan Qingqing, they quickly saluted and said, "I have met Madam, Madam Qianqiu."

Although they are training in the mountains, it does not hinder their ability to receive news from the outside world. They all know that Yan Qingqing has been banned.

They used to be beggars, and later they were the guards of the Li family, but now they are the guards of Ming Zhaoren. There is a feeling of pride.

Yan Qingqing looked at these children and was a little afraid to recognize them.

When they came to seek refuge with Yan Qingqing, they were all emaciated and skinny.

But now they are all in high spirits, probably because they have been training on the mountain for a long time, and their eyes reveal perseverance and fierceness.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, get up and help me do some work.

I want to dig up these white piles and put them to great use. You can help me transport them home. "

Yan Qingqing finally asked them to do something, and they were naturally willing.

Mu Xi stopped her and said, "Does Madam want to dig these things back and plant them again?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "This is a good thing. I also plan to save some seeds and plant it in a large area next year."

Although Mu Xi didn't know how Yan Qingqing would make this into clothes, Mu Xi knew that Yan Qingqing said it could be done. She had no doubt at all about Yan Qingqing's words.

However, she didn't agree with touching these things now, so she stopped her and said, "It's not impossible for Madam to save seeds, but I don't think it's necessary for Madam.

First, these things have grown so big that it is not easy to survive transplanting.

Secondly, this mountain is ours and we can take care of it at any time.

Therefore, the subordinates feel that it is much better than moving back. "

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing felt that what he said made sense, and she also had a plan.

So he said with a smile: "In that case, let's not move it for now. You guys will keep an eye on this thing for me these two days, and there won't be any mistakes."

After saying that, he waved his hand to hide them.

Yan Qingqing discovered that Mian Mian was quite thoughtful in the mountains and even walked a little briskly.

Some villagers in Canghe Village greeted Yan Qingqing enthusiastically when they saw her coming down from the mountain, and Yan Qingqing also responded one by one.

After returning home, Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to put away the medicinal materials she picked from the mountains, and she would prepare some when she had time.

Every wealthy family has its own private treasury, including many treasures and medicinal materials.

Compared with other aristocratic families, Yan Qingqing's family is more like a nouveau riche, with insufficient foundation.

In other words, there is nothing but money.

But Yan Qingqing knew that this would not happen overnight, so he could only take his time.

Yan Qingqing called Ah Da over again and asked him about the situation in the recent shop.

Ah Da scratched his head and replied: "I looked at many shops, but none of them were very suitable, but I have told the dental shop about my wife's requirements.

Let them notify us as soon as possible when the time comes.

When I have some free time, I will go to the county town. "

Yan Qingqing nodded when she heard this. She also knew that buying a suitable shop was not that easy. Besides, she was not in a hurry.

Then he opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Go and ask the village chief to come. Just say that I have something to discuss with him."

Ada heard the words and quickly agreed.

In the past, Yan Qingqing would go to the village chief if anything happened, but now her identity is there. Every time she goes to the village chief's house, everyone will guess whether something big is going to happen.

So gradually she would invite Li Kaishan to her home when something happened.

Li Kaishan also ran very diligently to Yan Qingqing's house. When he couldn't make up his mind about other things in the village, he came to Yan Qingqing for advice.

Li Kaishan was chatting with some old men in the village. When he heard that Yan Qingqing was looking for him, he immediately followed Ada back.

It happened that Mr. Li was also there. Hearing that Ada invited Li Kaishan, he felt itchy, so he followed Li Kaishan to Yan Qingqing's house.
