Chapter 14 A Cotton
After finalizing the important matter, Ning Fei changed the subject and talked about farming.
"Actually, I brought Mr. Liu and Mrs. Qiu here this time to discuss with you the arrangements behind the potato fields."
Hearing what he said, the eyes of Old Man Liu and Mrs. Qiu lit up.
Old man Liu rubbed his hands: "Juzi, I think the land in the valley is really good, and the land is quite strong. Is it really not possible to grow potatoes for another season?"
Ning Fei shook his head.
"Really can't."
"Consecutive planting of potatoes will aggravate pests and diseases, at least every other round."
"Oh."
The old man was a little disappointed.
He has seen the harvesting of potatoes in the past two days, where can he find such high-yielding and filling food!
Seeing the potato fields being emptied little by little, the old man seemed to be missing something, and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Always want to plant something!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the clear and pleasant voice of a young man in his ears.
"So, I want to plant some more things in there."
Um! ?
Old man Liu immediately raised his head, his eyes sparkling.
"What does Juzi want to plant?"
He suddenly hesitated again, and said cautiously.
"Now this solar term, it's too late to grow anything else, so we can only grow some leafy vegetables."
"It's just that there is little rain and water here, and ordinary vegetables are not easy to grow. I don't know how the land is."
Ning Fei couldn't answer this question either.
He thought about it, touched a cotton boll in the system reward column, and placed it on the bench in front of him.
"I want to try growing this."
When he said that, everyone immediately became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
This was the case with the potatoes before. The young boy took them out casually, and they didn't look very expensive, but they directly saved Mo Zong.
I don't know what baby this time
So everyone stretched their necks to look at it, especially the old man Liu, who took advantage of his age to push Mu Donglai away, put his face on the bench, and squinted his eyes hard to watch.
After watching it for a long time, no one could figure out what it was.
"Juzi, what is this? It looks like it can't be eaten."
Xie Zeng muttered in a low voice.
On the other hand, Granny Qiu, she just glanced at it and was startled, then looked at Ning Fei with some hesitation.
"Juzi, can the old lady pick it up and have a look?"
Ning Fei nodded, so Granny Qiu carefully twirled the cotton boll and felt the texture of the fiber with her fingers.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked with some uncertainty:
"This is like a kind of kapok tree that grows in the mountains of my hometown. We will use tree wool to fill the quilt, which is very warm."
"However, the velvet of kapok is not so light and long, and the trees are not easy to grow. When I fled from home, I heard that there was a wildfire in the mountains, and the trees died."
"Oh? Can this thing be used as a quilt?"
Xie Zeng took the cotton and felt it for a while, then nodded immediately.
"Then let's plant it quickly. It will be cold in a while. If we can harvest a batch, everyone will be able to survive the winter."
Hearing what he said, old man Liu kept shaking his head.
"How is it possible? Didn't Mrs. Qiu say to plant trees? How can a tree bloom in the first year? Besides, it's not a solar term now."
Xie Zeng couldn't hear someone criticizing Ning Fei, so he glared at Old Man Liu.
"That's what Mrs. Qiu said, isn't Juzi still talking? If you are so capable, why didn't you find the potatoes?"
Old man Liu was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, and he also felt that his behavior of refuting Juzi face to face was very bad, so he lowered his head embarrassingly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Ning Fei didn't expect how Mr. Xie would defend himself, and was moved but also a little embarrassed.
His original intention was to discuss cotton planting. After all, he is not an expert in this area, and he has never planted things by himself. Old man Liu and Granny Qiu are more experienced than him in this area.
So he had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "Actually, it's not too different from what Grandma Qiu said. This is also a kind of cotton, but it's an annual woody plant that can bloom and plant seeds in those days. The flower is this cotton boll."
"This kind of cotton has long fibers and better toughness than kapok. It can be used as filling for keeping warm, and it can also be used for textile fabrics."
As soon as she heard the word "spinning", Grandma Qiu's eyes lit up instantly.
She picked up the cotton boll again, "Juzi, do you think this cotton can be woven into cloth?"
Nowadays, most people wear linen clothes, and the rich and powerful families use fine linen and silk, and keep warm by leather cloaks.As poor as Mo Zong, silk and fine linen are unnecessary. It is not easy to get animal skins to keep out the cold, and more people rely on rough linen to keep out the cold.
But no matter how much sackcloth is worn, it is not warm enough!
Qiu Pozi worked in Zongmen Mafang before going up the mountain.Ramie doesn't grow near Niubei Mountain, and the women in Mafang change to embroidery to make money.Mrs. Qiu is getting old and can't do delicate work with dizziness, so she doesn't want to eat the idle food of the sect.
But when it comes to weaving, Mrs. Qiu was once the number one expert in Mafang.
"Yes."
Ning Fei nodded.
"This cotton can be woven and feels softer than linen."
"I probably know a little about the specific weaving method, which is to clean these cotton bolls first, collect the cotton fibers inside, use the machine to connect the cotton slivers and twist them, and finally spin them into cotton yarn, and weave cloth with the cotton thread that goes around the city. "
Speaking of this, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, because he didn't know how to make the loom.
But it's nothing, anyway, his purpose is to make quilts and cotton clothes, and there is no rush to make cotton cloth. After he completes the main task, he can go to the system mall to exchange blueprints.
Qiu Pozi listened very carefully, rubbing her fingers unconsciously, as if imagining the weaving method Ning Fei said in her mind.
After Ning Fei finished speaking, she carefully twirled the cotton boll in her hand, her cloudy eyes were astonishingly bright.
"OK!"
Granny Qiu suddenly patted her legs and said.
The sudden increase in the tone of the voice startled everyone in the dining hall.
The three elders and the old man Liu didn't know how to weave, and what Ning Fei said was like a fog.Seeing that Mrs. Qiu seemed to have an epiphany, she immediately looked over.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Do you understand?"
"Third Aunt, tell me quickly!"
Mrs. Qiu ignored the old men in the dining room, she turned to look at Ning Fei, her voice trembling with excitement:
"Use the spinning wheel! Use the spinning wheel to pull the cotton thread, and then, like the hemp thread, use the spinning wheel to spin it into a veil, wind it on a winding rod to form a single thread, and then use the warp and weft weaving method to weave it into plain weave, right?!"
Right, Ning Fei doesn’t know either.
He is not a textile worker, and he has no understanding of the history of textile equipment development. The principle can barely make sense, but he can't do it in details.
But this does not prevent him from encouraging Granny Qiu to play her own initiative.He can tell that Granny Qiu is definitely an expert in textiles, such a talent cannot be let go!
Huang Daopo, who improved the textile machine in history, was also a woman!
He nodded vaguely, and the matter of planting cotton was finalized. Old man Liu was in charge of planting. After the cotton was harvested, some of it would be provided to Granny Qiu for trial production of cloth.
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, the three elders each notified the selected Ding Zhuang to report to the main building.
Only then did Liu Tie realize that he had been recruited by Juzi. He squatted by the bellows, rubbed his head, and looked bewildered.
"Huh? Isn't there a formula for mortar? What kind of mortar do you need to make walls?"
"Besides, I'm a blacksmith. I can light a stove, but I don't need a fire to make mortar. Master, what do you want me to do?"
"If you are told to go, go! Why are there so many nonsense!"
Mu Donglai slapped his apprentice hard, feeling rather resentful that iron can't be made into steel.
"You kid, you haven't settled the debts on Juzi Mountain with you! This time, you finally have a chance to make a good impression on Juzi. You can't mess it up for me!"
"Just do what you are asked to do, don't talk so much nonsense. Jizi is young, and he has just recovered. If there is anything you can't think of, you should mention it more. Digging and burning fires, you should be diligent, and don't let him reach out. , It doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not, safety comes first.”
Liu Tie's mouth opened, but he didn't dare to say anything, and silently bowed his head in response.
He felt a little wronged.
After all, he is also the most outstanding student in the blacksmith's room, so why did he end up in the mining business?
Could it be that Jizi said something to the master?
"Actually, I brought Mr. Liu and Mrs. Qiu here this time to discuss with you the arrangements behind the potato fields."
Hearing what he said, the eyes of Old Man Liu and Mrs. Qiu lit up.
Old man Liu rubbed his hands: "Juzi, I think the land in the valley is really good, and the land is quite strong. Is it really not possible to grow potatoes for another season?"
