Seeing Zheng Lu pause, Niu Tangtang quickly stood up and took out the basket at the door: "Brother Zheng, I don't have much cash on hand right now. It's okay for us adults to survive for a while, but the three children are still growing. The weather is... It's cold, so it's inevitable that you'll have headaches and fever, so you have to save money for emergencies. I grew these two baskets of vegetables and fruits here. If you don't mind, take them all back and come back after you've finished eating. It'll count as my rent payment. , how about it? This way you can answer easily when others ask."
Zheng Lu took a look at the green vegetables and fragrant fruits in the basket, and was very surprised: "Girl, how can you still grow such good vegetables and fruits in this winter?"
Regarding this kind of thing, Xia Houyu and others were surprised at the beginning, but now they are immune.
Even if Niu Tangtang took out a spear now, Xia Houyu and others would not even move their eyes.
"Maybe I have a talent for farming. If Brother Zheng doesn't believe it, you can have a look behind the house with me later."
Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise it would be really difficult to fool him.
Niu Tangtang felt that he was too smart. Seeing Zheng Lu's eyes still hesitant, he said: "Brother Zheng, actually I also have some experience in growing cotton. I know that Yunlai Village has always made a living by growing cotton, so if there is need, I will come to you at any time." Can help."
Just last night, cotton seeds were unlocked in the space.
Niu Tangtang immediately harvested the vegetable fields and planted them all with cotton.
Anyway, the vegetables collected earlier are piled in the house, and it won’t be possible to finish them in a while.
"Cow girl, do you really know cotton?"
"Of course, cotton is divided into three types, fine-staple cotton. Long-staple cotton and coarse-staple cotton are divided according to cotton fiber. They are also divided into white cotton, yellow cotton, gray cotton and colored cotton."
He thought his words would surprise Zheng Lu, but he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Miss Niu, I have never heard of the cotton you mentioned."
ha?
Don't panic, it's a small scene.
Niu Tangtang coughed lightly: "Brother Zheng, what kind of cotton is grown in Yunlai Village?"
"We are planting kapok trees."
It turned out to be a kapok tree, but fortunately it was within the scope of my knowledge, otherwise I would have overturned: "I know the kapok tree. Clothes made of kapok have unique advantages in hygroscopicity and warmth retention, and are generally more suitable for filling. Materials, such as pillows and bedding, and the cotton I am talking about, depending on the variety, can be made into high-end fabrics, carpets, cotton cloth, etc. Of course, the most important thing is that cotton has high yield and low production cost, and it can even become a Strategic materials.”
Niu Tangtang said this just to make Zheng Lu believe that he was professional.
They never thought about it. Xia Houyu and Shen Lang, who were standing beside them, had dark faces at the beginning, but their eyes were bright at the end.
"Cowgirl, does the cotton you are talking about have seeds?"
Just hearing Niu Tangtang describe it like this, Zheng Lu felt that he had discovered a big business opportunity. If he could succeed in this matter, he would definitely be reused by his father, and he would no longer have to follow his elder brother's butt every day.
After Niu Tangtang planted cotton in the space, he also planted a few plants in the backyard: "I discovered this seed accidentally, and I also read the content of the cotton from a book. Unfortunately, it was burned by my mother-in-law before. How can I It was easy to save a few seeds, and now they are planted in the backyard. Come with me."
"good."
Xia Houyu knew that Niu Tangtang went to the vegetable patch in the backyard every day after returning from Heifeng Village, and asked Niu Xiaowang to guard it and not let anyone get close.
Now that they had the opportunity to see the vegetable patch in the backyard, he and Shen Lang were very excited.
"This is it."
The moment the torch shone over, everyone saw that the small backyard had been divided into small farmlands by Niu Tangtang. Many vegetables were grown in it. Even though there was a slight cold wind, the vegetables in the ground were a little green. A proud fan in the cold.
Although the actual soil quality is not as good as the space, Niu Tangtang is irrigated with spiritual springs. At least these vegetables can thrive no matter what the weather is.
"Miss Niu, you don't know how jealous someone would be if they found out that you have this vegetable patch."
"Then I don't know Brother Zheng now. I believe Brother Zheng will protect me. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat such fresh vegetables in the cold winter months." Niu Tangtang ran into the field, picked a cucumber, and washed it with water. Break it into two pieces and give it to him: "Try it."
Zheng Lu recognized this vegetable, it was called cucumber. He had eaten it once. It was brought back by the villagers. He heard that it was only available in the capital.
"Click."
The unique taste of cucumber explodes in your mouth.
Zheng Lu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, fresh cucumbers taste like this."
"Brother Zheng is indeed very knowledgeable. He can even recognize a cucumber. Come on, I'll show you the cotton I grow."
The cotton is in the corner. It was planted yesterday, but with the nourishment of the spiritual spring, it has slowly grown branches and leaves, standing there quietly, like a holy girl.
"When it blooms, cotton balls like small snowballs will grow. Pick them, dry them, twist them into strips, and then spin them into threads to make pieces of exquisite cloth." Niu Tangtang told Zheng Lu gestured and explained.
"Miss Niu, do you trust me so much?" Zheng Lu asked abruptly, "Aren't you afraid that I will have any bad intentions?"
"I just have these five cotton plants. If you take them all, it will probably take several years to achieve large-scale production. If you can afford it, your family and the villagers can afford it. Will they think you are doing something wrong?" That's nonsense. When you wanted to defend yourself, you found that I had already been eliminated by you. In this case, wouldn't you just put yourself on the fire?" Niu Tangtang touched his chin and looked at Zheng Lu, "Besides, Brother Zheng, you You can't be so short-sighted, right?"
"Miss Niu, you are a real person. Just live here down-to-earth. If anyone wants to trouble you, just tell me my name." Zheng Lu was a cheerful person, but when he thought about what happened in the afternoon, he decided to remind Niu Tangtang.
After hearing this, Niu Tangtang glanced at Xia Houyu and said with surprise: "Jinzi, I've been here for so long. I've cut a lot of weeds in the field, but I haven't seen Jinzi yet?"
"So, I think this is strange, but regardless of whether there is gold or not, this land cannot be taken advantage of by Anxi Village."
"Brother Zheng, then you have to be careful. My ex-mother-in-law's family still lives in Anxi Village. If she finds out, she might let her son, the number one scholar, lead people to dig for gold. You have to be careful to avoid being watched by the government. superior."
What Niu Tangtang said was something Zheng Lu didn't expect. His eyes were full of gratitude: "Miss Niu, thank you for reminding me. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"Then what is Brother Zheng going to do with the Arata in front? Is it just going to be empty?"
Now that everyone is gone, who will plow the ground for her?
