Luohuazhishui

end of october.The weather was damp and cold, with snow falling just the night before.It was all gone in a day.

Today was the day to go to the city to pick up clothes, and Chen Zhishui brought two sacks of cotton and one bag of cotton seeds.

She is confident that the shopkeeper will definitely ask her for the cotton.

The weather is getting colder and colder. In a few days, it is estimated that some people will freeze to death again.Go to the government today and report the cotton seeds to the county magistrate as soon as possible.People in Yongji City can start planting next year, and in two years at the latest, cotton will be popularized throughout Nanning.

This is good news for those in power.

Chen Zhishui wanted to buy a horse... She went to the city too often.It takes an hour to go back and forth each time. If you ride a horse, you can at least increase the speed by half.In the future, pulling cotton and sweet potatoes to sell in the city will require a car instead of hiring a car.It's better to buy it directly.There are more than 100 taels on hand, which is enough.

Clothing store.

"Guest officer, you are here! The clothes are all ready, please check if you are satisfied."

Chen Zhishui nodded.He reached out to take the bearskin coat and put it on his body.The clothes are long to the calf.The black lining is all stuffed with cotton.

It was considerably warm.

The shopkeeper put the gloves, hat, scarf and cotton coat into the bag for Chen Zhishui.

"Guest officer... Regarding the plant from last time, I wonder if the guest officer still has it on hand?"

Chen Zhishui nodded and said: "There are, but not too many. I brought some of them this time."

The shopkeeper took two bags of cotton.I laughed quite happily.

"How many do you have in your family? Can you sell them all to me?"

Chen Zhishui thought that the space would grow anyway, so if they were sold, they would be sold.

"Tomorrow I will bring a carriage over here, and it looks like I can still hold more than twenty bags. Each bag costs a tael of silver, and I'll sell it to you if it's acceptable. You know, in the whole of Nanning, you can't find anything other than animal fur. Warmer material."

One tael of silver per bag? !too expensive!But it is indeed impossible to find materials comparable to animal fur anywhere in Nanning.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

"Okay! Bring the materials tomorrow, and I'll settle the money with you."

"Well, no problem. Don't worry shopkeeper, you only make money from this transaction."

……

Out of the tailor shop.

Chen Zhishui came to the gate of the government mansion, but the guard at the gate stopped her.Chen Zhishui said that he had to report to the adults about important matters concerning people's livelihood.The guards went in to inform the magistrate, signaling Chen Zhishui to wait here.

The work of a cup of tea is over.

"Go, my lord will let you in and talk."

"Thank you for this big brother."

Chen Zhishui came to the main hall of the official mansion, and the county magistrate was sitting on a chair.

Get on your knees. "Grassmen pay respects to your lord."

"Get up and talk. What do you have to say?"

Chen Zhishui got up. "Return to your lord. Caomin is a hunter in Mu's village. Once, he found a plant on Beishan. The flowers of this plant can be made into clothing to resist the wind and cold. But when Caomin went to Beishan again, he found that the plant had died. He died. Fortunately, the grass people left a lot of seeds, and today they are dedicated to the adults. If this thing can be spread throughout Nanning, it will reduce the number of people who freeze to death every year."

After the county magistrate heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately straightened up and asked, "Is there really such a good thing? Is there a real thing? Show it up and have a look!"

Chen Zhishui presented the cotton coat that had been made at the tailor shop before, and took out a ball of cotton from the sleeve.

The county magistrate picked up the cotton and looked at it.He put on the cotton coat that Chen Zhishui brought up again and went outside for a walk.

"It's really much warmer! This small group of plants can actually keep out the cold like this! It's amazing!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed.If this thing can be reported to the emperor, wouldn't the emperor give him a lot of rewards when he is happy?

"Caomin dare not claim credit, but it is a great honor to be able to work for me in Daning. I only hope that in the future the common people will be able to grow cotton by themselves, so that the number of people who freeze to death in winter will be reduced a lot."

"Good! Good! I am very pleased that a grassroots person can have such thoughts. This just shows that I have managed properly, hahaha"

"That's what the adults said"

Chen Zhishui rolled her eyes inwardly, she was really narcissistic.

After the emperor understands this thing, he will definitely reward him with money.But the officials "deducted" each other, and the silver taels that the county magistrate could really get were only a small part of the total amount of rewards.

This is the urine of officialdom.

Chen Zhishui handed over a large bag of seeds to the county magistrate.After that, she couldn't control it.

When I came to the horse market, I chose a stronger horse and bought a bunch of necessary accessories before going home.

At the beginning, I didn't know how to ride, I just sat on the horse and walked slowly.

It's cold.Chen Zhishui wrapped herself in a black bearskin coat and put on half-fingered gloves made of rabbit fur, which made her feel much warmer.

Chen Zhishui rode back to the village.

It seems that someone is sitting on a stone by the river to wash clothes.Water in such a cold world?

It's Cheng Luohua.

Chen Zhishui rode the horse to the river.Only then did she see that Cheng Luohua was wearing thin clothes, and her coat was only a piece of linen.

"It's snowing, why are you still doing laundry here?"

Cheng Luohua was too involved, and was taken aback by Chen Zhishui's sudden voice.

"Uh, it's okay, there is one more thing to wash."

Only one left?Chen Zhishui looked at the full clothes in the basin, and thought to herself how long has it been washed?

"I'll help you, take a break."

"Hey, don't, I can do it myself."

Chen Zhishui took off the gloves on her hands, took the clothes from Cheng Luohua's hands and put them aside.Carelessly wiped the water droplets on her hands.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Chen Zhishui rubbed Cheng Luohua's palms together repeatedly.

Both of them are people who work frequently, and the skin and flesh on their hands are not delicate.

Cheng Luohua blushed as her hand was held and rubbed by Chen Zhishui.Even if I knew she was a woman...

Seeing that it was almost warm, Chen Zhishui put the gloves on her hands and took out the clothes on the side to wash.

This time Cheng Luohua didn't refuse again.Instead, she sat quietly and watched Chen Zhishui's clumsy movements.

The wind was strong, and Cheng Luohua shivered a little from the cold.

Seeing Chen Zhishui get up, Cheng Luohua was a little curious.Looking over, Chen Zhishui took out a piece of clothing from the bag on the horse's back.

"Come on, put on."

"Oh, no, I'm not cold"

"Don't be polite to me, this dress doesn't fit me, and it's a waste if I'm idle. Wear it, it'll make you feel better in winter."

How could it not fit well, Cheng Luohua knew it in his heart.Just when she was about to refuse, she was interrupted by Chen Zhishui's words.

"How about this, you wear the clothes, in exchange, how about you help me sew a quilt? I will give you a few bags of cotton stuffed in the clothes for the rest of the money. As a offset, what do you think?"

Cheng Luohua knew that Chen Zhishui was kind, but she didn't want to owe her a favor.It is not difficult to make a quilt, and the offset is not needed.

"There's no need to offset it, I'll help you make a quilt, just as an exchange for clothes."

"You don't want to owe me a favor, I know. But I still want to trouble you in the future. If you pay off the favor directly like this, do you hate me? Don't you want to have anything to do with me anymore?"

Chen Zhishui began to pretend to be pitiful.

Seeing this, Cheng Luohua panicked

"No! I don't hate you, really, I really don't!"

"puff"

This journey of falling flowers is too cute.

"You...are you kidding me?"

Cheng Luohua was stunned. Was the pitiful tone and expression just pretended?

"Not all. I really thought you hated me. I kind of liked you. If you hated me, I really didn't know what to do."

Cheng Luohua saw her serious look.Suddenly feel a little flustered.

This person is really annoying, how can he be so gentle.
