"Sister-in-law, what I said is true. I am so lucky. It's just that I read too many miscellaneous books in the past, so I know so many messy things." Shen Qingqian blinked her innocent eyes and told lies.
When all good things happen to a person, it will inevitably lead to gossip, and Shen Qingqian doesn't want to be gossiped about.
Mrs. Xiao Lin said this unintentionally. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "You must have read a lot of books to be so lucky. Otherwise, look at Third Sister and I, good things never come to us."
Shen Qingqian felt relieved and immediately changed the topic, "Although I have read some introductions to this kind of flower in books before, I don't know how to deal with it. Sister-in-law, do you have any good suggestions?"
Shen Qingxiao asked doubtfully: "Isn't it enough to dry it and sew it into clothes or quilt?"
Shen Qingqian said nothing and looked at Xiao Lin.
"Let's take a look," Mrs. Xiaolin said while turning over the cotton. "This thing feels soft to the touch. It should become very light after drying. It needs to be processed...otherwise, it will be pressed and then sewn. Get under the covers?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian praised Xiao Lin in her heart, "Sister-in-law must be right. Press this thing down, and let's get some thicker yarns and put them in a grid. The thermal insulation effect will probably be better."
"Sixth Sister's suggestion is good. Pressing it with yarn can prevent the flowers from falling apart, so they can be used for a longer period of time." Xiao Lin nodded.
Their thick clothes and quilts now have to be made new every year, otherwise they will not be warm, so Xiaolin took it for granted that those made of cotton might also need to be changed every year.
Shen Qingqian didn't say much more about this. They will know how long the quilt can be used next year.
Shen Qingxiao frowned, "I see there isn't much cotton here. With so many people in our family, I'm afraid it won't be enough. I'll go to Scorpion Ridge to see if I can still find this kind of flower."
Shen Qingqian secretly wiped her sweat and said quickly: "Third sister, don't worry, let's deal with these first. Anyway, I still have to find the raw materials for seasoning. Let's go together tomorrow."
Shen Qingxiao needs to go alone. Only ghosts can be found.
Xiao Lin also said: "Sixth sister is right. It's getting late now. I'm not worried about you going alone. I'd better talk to mother tomorrow and let second sister watch the kids at home. I'll accompany you." Let's go find each other."Z.br>
Shen Qingxiao thought it was right, so he stopped insisting, and the three of them began to process the picked cotton.
This was a delicate job, and Shen Qingqian also asked to keep the cotton seeds, so the three aunts and sisters spent the whole afternoon on this.
"Sixth sister, do you want to plant this seed?" After finally finishing the process, Xiao Lin stood up, thumped her waist, and asked smoothly.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "Well, let's try and see if we can grow it. If it is actually grown by our family, it might be a great achievement."
"Can this be credit?" Xiao Lin became interested upon hearing this.
Shen Qingqian said with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, think about it, if the ability of cotton to keep warm is really strong, we will dedicate it to the court so that the soldiers guarding the bitter cold places in Jin Dynasty can wear cotton clothes. Quilts, and we discovered and cultivated this thing, is this a merit?"
She has explained it so clearly, what else does Xiao Lin not understand? Now I am more concerned about cotton. When I go to the kitchen to cook, I am thinking about how to make these cottons work effectively.
When Wu and the others came back in the evening and learned about this, they praised Shen Qingqian again.
But that night, Shengze and Ling Yun stayed away all night.
