Other weeds, no matter how high they go to Chu Ze's waist.
But these are different.
The tallest one is one or two centimeters taller than Chu Ze.
In fact, what shocked him was not how high the weed was.
It is the white fluffy cotton wool on the roof of the grass.
Before the man could invite them in, Chu Ze could not help but step in.
The man was stunned, and several question marks appeared on his head.
'Why did Master Chu go in? We haven't invited you yet. '
'No right, how did Master Chu pass towards those weeds? '
His treasures were well kept by him.
It's not under those weeds.
Men hurriedly walked over.
Zhu Xi also followed.
Unlike men, Zhu Xi knew clearly that Chu Ze was eyeing those weeds that grew freely.
"No, people invite you to see the baby. What do you look at the weeds in the yard?" Zhu Ping's mouth was disgusted, but his footsteps walked to Chu Ze honestly, and his eyes fell on those weeds.
He watched intently.
It ’s all weeds.
Nothing surprising.
Zhu Xi reached out to grab.
"Snapped!"
As soon as his hand stretched out, he was photographed by Chu Ze.
"His ..." Zhu Xi took a sigh of relief.
He retracted his hand reflexively, looked at the red back of his hand, and condemned: "Chu Ze, what are you doing!"
Didn't he just want to touch the weed?
As for beating him.
No, Chu Ze usually doesn’t hit people unless...
Zhu Xi looked at the weeds in front of him and said in a cautious voice, "Are these weeds poisonous?"
"No, no, this is ordinary weeds, not poisonous." The man suddenly panicked.
This is his yard, in case of poison, in case of hurting these two, ten life is not enough for him to pay.
The man quickly stepped forward and explained: "These are some weeds, which are said to be Yuan ... It was passed down from the previous dynasty, the name was cotton. I don't know where to come from. "He was lazy, and the yard was not cleaned up.
Anyway, let them grow.
Unexpectedly, it almost caused a misunderstanding.
The man wiped the cold sweat.
He smiled ingratiatingly and tried to invite Chu Ze and Zhu Ping aside.
"Two grandfather, you sit in the room first, and you can barely see people in the room, and you have to look at these weeds." As he said, he went back to cotton.
With a click, he broke off a few branches.
Chu Ze didn't even have time to stop him.
Looking at the broken cotton, Chu Ze felt heartbroken.
He grabbed a step and grabbed cotton.
"What are you doing? Should we let you fold it?" Chu Ze snatched the cotton and felt heartbroken when he saw the cotton scattered due to the sudden external force.
He glared at the man angrily.
man:"……"
Has he made a horse's leg?
The man's expression was slightly panicked.
"Come on, aren't you going to get your baby? Don't hurry to get it?" Chu Ze saw that he was a little unpleasant now, and just wanted to drive people away.
Seeing that Chu Ze was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to say much, and turned into the house.
As soon as he left, Zhu Xi approached Chu Ze and asked, "What's wrong with the cotton?"
It actually made Chu Zesheng so proud.
Chu Ze sighed helplessly.
"Do you know cotton?" Chu Ze waved the broken branch in his hand in front of Zhu Xiang.
Zhu Xunshun took the trend: "That man just said, isn't this that?"
"Besides what he just said, do you know anything else?" Chu Ze asked again.
This is hard to live in Zhu Xi.
He shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know."
"You ask, do you know anything?"
Zhu Xi asked.
Chu Ze gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, the response is getting faster and faster."
Zhu Xiang raised his head proudly.
Don't even look at who he is.
And he has been following Chu Ze, no matter how stupid he is, he can still learn something.
"Stop tempting us, tell me quickly what's wrong with the cotton." Zhu Xi urged Chu Ze, waving a cotton branch in front of him.
Chu Ze lowered his gaze to the cotton that had not yet dispersed.
He did not answer Zhu Xi immediately, but asked: "Do you know what we use to keep out the cold in winter?"
Zhu Xiang's curiosity was immediately put back.
He said speechlessly: "You treat us like children?"
Even a three-year-old can answer this question.
"If you have money, you can use fox fur and lamb skin. If you don't have money, you can use dog skin. There are also kapok. Princes, nobles and common people can use it. That's all. Nothing else." Zhu Xi stretched out his finger and divided it by three and five. The answer is over.
Chu Ze nodded.
He pointed at the white cloud-like cotton in front of him.
"Then do you know that something like this can also keep out the cold?"
Zhu Ping followed Chu Ze's hand and looked at Mian Mian.
His small eyes were full of doubts.
After a while, he tortured his soul: "That's it?"
"Yes." Chu Ze confirmed, "That's it."
Chu Ze reached out and picked a cotton flower.
Cotton is lightweight and soft.
Just pinch it and it becomes a small ball.
It was held in Chu Ze's hand and allowed to be squeezed and rounded.
"This is called cotton. You just heard that person say it. As far as we know, it was introduced to China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, it may be because the planting area was not wide. It was not until the Song and Yuan dynasties that it gradually became popular. The development trend of the Central Plains.”
And depending on the situation, the promotion of cotton in these two dynasties was not very strong.
Until now, there are still people who regard it as a weed.
Chu Ze looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he lowered his voice and continued: "In our era, cotton was an excellent thing. It could be used to make cotton clothes and quilts. After being spun into thread, it could also be used to make clothes and fabrics. . Because it is cheap, both rich and poor can afford it. Its seeds can also be used as cooking oil. In short, there are great benefits." Chu Ze gave a thumbs up. I wish I could praise cotton to the sky.
Zhu Xi listened, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.
After Chu Ze finished speaking, he grabbed Chu Ze's arm and said, "Is everything you said true?"
"Have we ever lied to anyone about this kind of thing?"
Not really.
Chu Ze could lie about other things, but he would not lie about these things.
Zhu Xi looked at these tall cotton plants, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
After a long time, he said to Chu Ze: "Then if we plant in a large area, will we people in the Ming Dynasty no longer worry about being frozen in winter?"
"That's natural." Chu Ze nodded affirmatively.
Zhu Xi immediately said: "What else can you say? Seed."
"By the way, where can I grow cotton?"
"Fujian is fine." Chu Ze gave an accurate answer.
Zhu Xi was even happier.
He said excitedly: "Then we will plant it here, and we will find a place to plant it tomorrow."
"Don't worry, the time for planting cotton has passed this year and will start tomorrow. But we can plan the place first, organize the manpower, and then prepare the seeds. When the time comes tomorrow, we can start planting directly." Chu Ze just said Already thinking about the follow-up. (End of chapter)
