Chang’an Peasant Girl: Chapter 512 cotton

   Chapter 512 Planting Cotton

Xiao Changyi said: "Every field hires people to breed. As for these two acres of land, I am a person." After a while, "You sit and watch." Anyway, he wants her to be in his sight no matter what. He can rest assured.

   Moreover, this place is right in front of their house, so there is no need for her to walk much. She sits and watches, just like sitting in the yard and basking in the sun.

   Hearing this, An Jing was immediately amused and laughed out loud. She was very sweet and sweet, but she did not tell Xiao Changyi not to plant these two acres of mountains. She knew that her husband liked this simple and peaceful life.

   "Then what are you going to plant on these two acres?" she asked.

  Xiao Changyi said: "It's fine."

  Quiet was amused again, "Since you can plant anything, let's not plant sweet potatoes and potatoes this year, and plant something else."

  Xiao Changyi looked at her, "What do you want to plant?"

"cotton."

   "The cotton yield is low, and the two acres of land can't get much cotton." Xiao Changyi didn't care what he planted, he just told Jingjing the fact.

  Quietly smiled and said, "We don't grow cotton for money, we keep it at home to make quilts or cotton-padded clothes. If the output is low, it should be lower, it's fine."

After checking that there was no one around, Jing Jing continued: "Xianggong, the reason why your cotton production is low, I think it is probably because of the wrong method of growing cotton. I remember that my grandparents planted cotton for nutrition. Pot planting, but you directly sow cottonseeds in the ground and let them grow naturally, and the result is that not only the yield is low, but the land will become more and more barren, resulting in the loss of cotton for the next year's harvest. Yields are lower. It's a complete vicious circle."

   Because of the low yield and warmth, the cotton here is very expensive.

  Generally, farmers cannot afford quilts, nor can they wear cotton-padded clothes. In winter, in order to keep out the cold, their quilts are basically filled with hemp and straw.

   However, because of the low yield, most farmers do not plant cotton, which is really not cost-effective. Originally, there is not much land in the family, so it is better to plant corn, sorghum, wheat and other crops first to ensure that they will not starve to death.

  Because of this, there is less cotton on the market, resulting in high cotton prices.

   "A nutritional bowl?" Xiao Changyi asked directly about this new word he didn't understand.

Quietly said: "I'll tell you more carefully when I get the bowl mixer. Now you haven't seen the bowl mixer. Even if I say it, you can't fully understand it. However, there is no chemical fertilizer here, so you can only get it briefly. Yes, but it should also be better than directly planting cottonseed in the ground."

  Xiao Changyi didn't ask any more questions, he just said, "Then don't plant cotton. You're pregnant with a child, so don't worry about anything."

  "But I'm bored..." Quiet is really boring. It's not like you can watch TV and surf the Internet when you are bored.

   Immediately, Quietly hugged Xiao Changyi's right arm and acted coquettishly: "Xiang Gong, you can plant cotton. I promise I won't do anything, I'll let you do it, I'll just teach you how to plant it, okay?"

  Xiao Changyi also didn't want to worry about An Jing so he didn't agree, but An Jing wanted to plant so much, and he also promised that he would not do it, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

   "Xianggong, you are so nice!" An Jing was immediately happy like something. "Then let's go back. I'll go back and paint the bowl bowl, and then find a blacksmith to make the bowl bowl."
