Chapter 271 It’s indeed very warm
The courtyard was already overcrowded at this time. The small courtyard could usually accommodate hundreds of people, but now because of two large tables and a stone table, the space for activities became very small.
At this time, Ying Zheng, Qin An, Ying Yinman, Li Si, Feng Quji and other important officials of the imperial court were sitting at the same table, and Meng Sheng and a group of six families were sitting at the same table.
The stone table was empty and no one was sitting on it.
And the person cooking the food is no longer the young master, but the cook in the village.
Qin An found that he, Master Gao and others were already busy. In this case, it would be better to hire a cook to help everyone cook.
So Qin An began to teach everyone how to cook when he had time, and found a few talented people to hand over his skills to them.
Although the cooking skills of the current cook cannot be compared with Qin An's, it has become a peerless delicacy for those who have never eaten stir-fry before.
After the three girls Ying Yinman, Li Yanran and Zou Feng tasted the first bite of the dish, they were immediately attracted by the delicious food.
The three women were thinking in their hearts at the same time: "It's so delicious. The food in the village is so delicious."
In order to maintain the reserve of women, Zou Feng and Li Yanran ate very elegantly even though the food was delicious. Only Ying Yinman ate so boldly that she simply did not regard herself as a woman.
Ying Zheng's head was full of black lines, and he wanted to remind her that Qin An was still there.
However, Qin An didn't feel anything about it. How did they know that Ying Yinman's eating appearance was similar to that of women outside, and there was nothing worthy of attention.
"Village chief, I have some good news for you." Qin An said with a smile.
"What's the good news?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "I found a cotton seedling."
"Really. That's great." Ying Zheng stood up in shock.
Everyone was shocked by Ying Zheng's actions. There were few things that could shock the First Emperor, and even fewer that could be so shocking.
"Father, why are you so excited?" Ying Yinman asked after swallowing the food in his mouth.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Because your future husband gave me a big surprise."
"Father, what did you say? What kind of surprise is this?" Ying Yinman's face turned red, and then he asked curiously.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, you might as well tell everyone."
Qin An nodded, then stood up and said, "Everyone, this time Lao Zhang and the farmer found a cotton seedling in Hushan.
You must be wondering what cotton is. "
"Sir," Li Si said, "don't be too pretentious. I know that your belongings are very precious. We can't wait."
Qin An smiled and said: "Okay, in that case, I won't give in. This cotton is a sacred object of warmth. These cottons can be used to make quilts, cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton sweaters, etc.
And cotton can be made into cotton thread, cotton thread can be made into cotton cloth, and cotton cloth can of course be made into clothes.
Cotton is very absorbent, so T-shirts made of cotton are very comfortable in summer. "
Li Si and others were all shocked. The sacred object of keeping warm can be made into quilts and cotton-padded jackets.
"Sir, how warm is this?" Feng Quji asked.
"It's very warm. In ancient times before cotton appeared, people would freeze to death in winter. But after cotton appeared, people wearing cotton-padded jackets would not freeze to death in winter." Qin An said.
"Sir, do you have a cotton-padded jacket in your clothes?" Li Si asked.
Qin An's eyes lit up and he said, "It's true. Not only do I have a cotton-padded jacket, I also have a down jacket, three sets of cotton-wool sweaters and cotton-wool trousers.
Thanks to Lao Zhang and the others for helping me find it last time. Because it was not a seed, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, I should thank Lao Zhang and Zhao Lu for all the people who came up the mountain. "
Jiang Lu smiled and said: "It's all just luck. No need to thank you, sir."
Zhang Han also followed suit: "It's all Mr. Tianyou."
Qin An said: "Thanks are due. I will go into the house now and try on the cotton-padded jackets for everyone to feel the warmth of the cotton-padded jackets."
Without waiting for anyone to object, Qin An entered the room and soon took out a cloth bag, which Qin An had someone make according to his design. 33
Qin An took out a cotton-padded jacket from his bag and said, "Village chief, give it a try."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Try?"
"Try it." Qin An replied with a smile.
Then he helped Ying Zheng put on the cotton-padded jacket, zipped it up, and said, "How do you feel?"
"Hot," Ying Zheng said, "I felt hot all over my body in an instant. I was almost sweating."
Qin An immediately opened the zipper, then helped Ying Zheng take off the cotton-padded jacket, and said, "Anyone who wants to try it can wear it and feel the warmth of the cotton-padded jacket."
"I, I want to give it a try too." Ying Yinman was the first to raise his hand.
"Okay." Qin An smiled, "Here. Put it on."
"Help me." Ying Yinman said with a smile.
Qin An looked at the cute and cute Ying Yinman and thought of Huang Rong in The Condor, and was a little lost.
Seeing that Qin An had no intention of helping, Ying Yinman pouted and said, "What? Don't you want to help me?"
Qin An came back to his senses and said: "No, no. I was just thinking about things. Come on. I'll help you now."
Qin An walked up to Ying Yinman and instantly smelled a girl's unique body fragrance, which made him feel hot in his heart. Maybe this was a normal physical reaction for a middle-aged man who had never been in contact with women.
When Qin An pulled the zipper halfway, he gave up decisively. If he pulled it any further, he would hit something he shouldn't.
Ying Yinman also felt something strange and blushed instantly. She didn't let Qin An continue to pull the zipper and pulled it up herself.
"Wow, it's so warm." Ying Yinman just finished speaking excitedly, then his face changed and he said, "It's a little too hot. I'll feel sweaty all over after wearing it for a while."
Ying Yinman also quickly took off her cotton-padded jacket and gave it back to Qin An.
Immediately afterwards, Li Si, Feng Quji and everyone present put on cotton-padded jackets. They felt warm at first, and then became too hot. They all said that it was too early to wear these.
This made everyone believe Qin An's words, this cotton is really a sacred object of warmth.
"Sir." Li Si asked, "You said there is only one cotton seedling. How long will it take for this cotton to be used in villages and towns across the country?"
"I really haven't planned this." Qin An said, "However, as long as we can feed this plant, then we will have a chance to get cotton. If we can't even feed this plant, don't mention it in the future."
"We must feed him, otherwise it will be a pity." Li Si sighed.
Ying Zheng immediately said: "Inform Xu Xing and a group of farmers that they must feed that cotton plant."
Some people died, but not completely...
