"Dad, tell me!"
Zhao Chen was confused, what other questions?
Aren’t the ingredients for tonight’s meal all from the greenhouse?
And there is no cooking tonight, so the days are long!
When will you treat Ying Zheng to some stir-fry? Then introduce him to the wok and various seasonings!
"Chen'er, I just want to ask you, why are your clothes and hat so warm?"
Ying Zheng picked up the Lei Feng hat from the chair on the side and said
These clothes and hats are obviously much thinner than my own skin, but they are so warm!
"Because it's filled with cotton! Cotton keeps you warm!"
Zhao Chen was even more confused now. The ground outside the greenhouse was growing cotton!
But now there are only a few small buds, which were planted just half a month ago!
He clearly remembered that he introduced it to Ying Zheng! How long has it been since you forgot about it?
"Cotton...Cotton...Mian...Pa! I remember it!"
When Wang Ben heard Ying Zheng's question, he put down his chopsticks and listened carefully.
When I heard cotton, after repeating it carefully several times, I suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said
"Wang Ben! What did you remember! How inappropriate is it to yell!"
Ying Zheng glared at Wang Ben, scaring the baby to death!
"Your Majesty, forgive me! I was talking about cotton! I introduced it to you after leaving the greenhouse today! Do you think about it?"
Wang Ben cupped his hands and bowed to apologize to Ying Zheng.
"You, you mean those new shoots outside the greenhouse? Chen'er, are those the cotton used for this military coat?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Chen with a look of disbelief on his face.
When Zhao Chen was introducing him, when he learned that he couldn’t eat it and it was flowers,
Just ignore it! Because in Ying Zheng's view, flowers are nothing but beautiful!
"That's right! That's cotton! The cotton yield per acre is very low, only three to four hundred pounds! The military coat you are wearing now weighs 7 pounds.
In other words, one acre of cotton, after deducting losses, can make up to forty or fifty military coats! "
Zhao Chen nodded. The cotton was given just last month, and the military coat was given ten years ago!
I don’t know the specific yield of cotton, but that’s what the instructions say!
"What! Three or four hundred pounds? Chen'er, is this cotton easy to grow? Besides making clothes, what else can cotton be used for?"
Ying Zheng no longer knows how many times he was shocked today!
He doubted that the land on Zhao Chen's side was all good farmland!
Otherwise, why would the yield of any crop be so high?
"That has so many uses! In addition to making clothes and quilts to keep out the cold, it can also be made into textiles!"
"Textiles? What are textiles?"
"To put it simply, it's just a handkerchief, gauze bandage and so on!"
"What are gauze bandages used for?"
"Gauze bandages are generally for medical use. If someone is injured, they can be used for treatment!"
"Do you know how to make this textile?"
"Won't!"
"No? Chen'er, since you can't, how do you know this?"
Ying Zheng frowned, he suspected that Zhao Chen was deceiving him! But when I think about it, it doesn’t seem necessary!
"I rescued a man in the mountains before winter last year! He told me the purpose of cotton!
He risked his life to bring this kind of thing back from Asan! "
Zhao Chen, as a college student in later generations, even a sports student
Of course, you know this type of common sense issue!
But he really doesn’t know how to make it! Because the system does not provide manufacturing machines!
Just those quilts, he took out a few military coats and modified them!
In the first eight years, the system would give away military coats every winter! The purpose was to prevent Zhao Chen from freezing to death!
"Ah San? His name is Ah San?"
"No, no, no, according to what he said, Asan is a place name! It's a place further south in Yelang."
"Yelang still wants to go south?"
Ying Zheng frowned and began to think deeply.
He knows the Xiongnu, knows Yelang, knows Yingzhou, and knows Donghu!
But I have never heard of this place called Asan!
"Chen'er, where is the person you saved now?"
After a long time, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Wang Ben
Wang Ben also shook his head. As a military general, he knew the map by heart, but he was also unfamiliar with the place Asan.
Why don't Ying Zheng stop worrying about it? Just go to that person and ask and you'll understand everything!
"died!"
"Dead...dead?"
"His injuries were too serious! I carried him down the mountain, but before he reached the hut, he died!
The finished products and seeds of cotton were also discovered from him! "
"Where did you bury his body, Master?"
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other, but there was no proof?
“I didn’t bring any digging tools with me at the time, so after his death I put his body on the ground.
When I came back with the tools, his body was gone! It must have been taken away by wild beasts in the mountains! "
As Zhao Chen spoke, he pretended to be sad.
It's so hard to lie! To tell a lie, you have to tell several lies to cover it up!
"Hey! That's such a pity!"
Ying Zheng shook his head. Regardless of whether what Zhao Chen said was true or false, there is nowhere to check it now!
"Chen'er, so it's your first time to grow cotton?"
"Um!"
"Okay, then we can only wait until the harvest is good! But I have agreed in advance,
If this cotton can be grown, the nationwide promotion will be left to you! "
"Okay! Leave it to me!"
Zhao Chen nodded helplessly and made up a story of his own.
Just to tell Ying Zheng that he can’t make textiles
At the same time, he also wanted to tell Ying Zheng that he could not promote this cotton! Stop giving yourself tasks!
In the end, he still didn’t run away! Then what did you make up just now?
"Dad, it's getting late! You and Mr. Wang should rest early!
The conditions here are limited. You can stay in my room, and Master Wang can stay in Lao Tian's room. Do you think that's okay? "
"Okay! Come and experience your living environment these years! But Chen'er, where will you sleep at night?"
Wang Ben nodded and said there was no problem. Ying Zheng then spoke.
"Lao Tian and I can deal with it in this warehouse for one night!"
Zhao Chen pointed to the warehouse on one side and said
"How can that be done? Let's do this, you and I..."
"Dad, stop talking! It's settled! It's getting late today and there's no time!
Waiting for tomorrow, I will ask Jin Yiwei to build two more rooms! "
Zhao Chen interrupted Ying Zheng's words. He didn't dare to share a room with Zu Long!
If it happens again, I won’t be able to explain it clearly! The key is, he's not used to sleeping with men either!
Yuhuatian: I feel insulted ( ๑ŏ ﹏ ŏ๑ )
"This...that's okay!"
Ying Zheng hesitated for a while and then agreed.
"Okay, Lao Tian, please take Mr. Wang to your room! Then give me those two quilts from my room. It's cold in the mountains at night!"
"I obey my orders! Your Majesty, Mr. Wang, please~"
"Lao Tian, are you not full at night? Go back quickly, I'm going to cook noodles now!"
Watching Ying Zheng and Wang Ben leave, Zhao Chen grabbed Yu Huatian who was walking behind and whispered in his ear.
"Thank you, Master! That humble duty has passed first!"
Yuhuatian slightly cupped his hands towards Zhao Chen and quickly followed Ying Zheng, Wang Ben and others.
