Chapter 17 Cotton Seeds

The boss named Duan Shi changed his face and shouted sharply: "Why are you searching our belongings?"

"It's okay not to search." Xu Miaomiao pulled off the rabbit tail pendant and threw it to the ground: "Let's report it to the official. Just say that something went wrong because I brought his stuff."

Duan Shi immediately organized: "No, you can't report it to the official. It was me who dropped it. I deliberately dropped itching powder in his things. I admit it."

Xu Miaomiao curled her lips and smiled: She had determined that Duan Shi would not report it to the official because his things were adulterated with fake dog hair!

Seeing him admitting it, everyone sighed at the incident and dropped their things and left.

Xu Miaomiao approached Duan Shi and said softly: "People still have to do business in a down-to-earth manner and avoid looking for some crooked ways."

Duan Shi was shocked and did not dare to look Xu Miaomiao in the eye. He knew that the woman had discovered that he was using dog hair to make money.

Xu Miaomiao didn't want to get things done, so she warned him and left.

"Thank you very much for today, girl."

Xu Miaomiao accompanied the owner of the silk and satin shop to clean up the shop, and said to her: "I don't know your lady's name. I really can't repay you for your great kindness today."

"My name is Xu Miaomiao."

The boss clasped his hands and said, "I am Wan Fuquan. I can't repay you for saving me today. If you need anything, just ask me."

Xu Miaomiao remained silent and looked around the house.

Liangjiu said: "I want to run this silk and satin shop with Wan Laban."

"Oh?" The man looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean, madam?"

"I want to become a shareholder, and this store counts as one for me."

"Okay!" The man stared at Xu Miaomiao with shining eyes and said, "If my wife can participate, she will definitely make the store bigger!"

Xu Miaomiao smiled and left.

After making an appointment with Wu Zhuang, Xu Miaomiao was waiting for him at the market entrance early.

Seeing that her hands were empty, Wu Zhuang asked curiously: "Ms. Song, didn't you buy something?"

Xu Miaomiao stared at the things piled high in his car in confusion: "Why did Mr. Wu buy so many things?"

As Wu Zhuang was driving the bullock cart, he said in embarrassment: "In the future, the weather will get colder and it will snow heavily, so it will be difficult to get out, and the land cannot grow food, so we need to prepare more."

Xu Miaomiao nodded. She had inspected the soil in the village and it was indeed not good. It was difficult to grow food.

Back in the village, Xu Miaomiao and Wu Zhuang said goodbye and went home.

Xiaobao and Erbao were playing football in the courtyard. Xu Miaomiao was counting the days until spring, and it would be time to send them to school.

Maybe because we live in the south, winter doesn't last long.

Every household is staying at home, preparing to survive the harsh winter.

Xiaobao pulled Xu Miaomiao and gestured in sign language: Mother, what is this? It smells bad.

Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised, because this Golden Lotus was the one she had used to treat Song Wushao's illness early on. Because it was still a small bud, even she couldn't smell it, so Xiaobao could actually ask.

"Xiaobao smelled it?"

The child nodded solemnly and gestured: The smell is not obvious, but you can smell it.

Xu Miaomiao felt happy, pulled Xiaobao and said, "Does Xiaobao want to study medicine?"

Xiaobao's brain flashed and he nodded happily. Xu Miaomiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Someone had inherited his medical skills.

Winter comes and goes quickly, and the family gathers around the stove to usher in spring soon.

Xu Miaomiao took inventory and decided to go to the market to buy some things and take a look at the silk and satin shop.

Spring was gradually coming, and the catkins floating in the air caught Xu Miaomiao's attention.

She observed that there were no catkins nearby, so where did the little catkins floating in the air come from.

His intuition told him that it was not simple, so he looked around for it.

Xu Miaomiao saw a small cotton plant fluttering in the wind, with some withered and yellow leaves.

Xu Miaomiao was overjoyed. If cotton could be grown in the village, every household would not have to worry about risking their lives to hunt.

After loosening the surrounding land, Xu Miaomiao picked up the land and carefully knocked on the door of Village Chief Wang's house.

"What's wrong?"

When Village Chief Wang saw Xu Miaomiao, he felt a little irritable.

Xu Miaomiao held the cotton in front of Village Chief Wang and said: "Although the land in the village cannot grow food, it may be suitable for growing cotton."

Regarding the vitality of everyone in the village, Village Chief Wang was unambiguous and quickly invited Xu Miaomiao into the house.

There was some doubt in her tone as she said: "Ms. Song, you can't talk nonsense. We have tried growing wheat and rice in the village without success. Now we don't want to focus on this."

Xu Miaomiao nodded and said: "The soil in the village is dry and there is no good water source, so it is impossible to grow food, but this cotton will definitely do it!"

The village chief thought over and over again and called several young people in the village to start discussions.

Part of them supports Xu Miaomiao, headed by Wu Zhuang.

There are still some people in the Song Dynasty who doubt the possibility of this matter and are afraid that the attempt will be in vain.

Seeing their hesitation, Xu Miaomiao said, "I will pay all the money to buy the seeds. Any losses will be mine, and any gains will be shared by everyone."

As soon as these words came out, those who still wanted to object suddenly lost their opinions.

"But I have a condition."

Xu Miaomiao suddenly spoke, and everyone stared at her and asked anxiously: "Ms. Song, tell me."

"When the cotton comes down, I will take 30% of it, and you will share the remaining 70%."

"As long as it can be planted, let alone 30%, we will give you 50%."

Everyone discussed and spoke, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, and immediately went to the market.

But I searched the market and found no cotton seeds.

"Ms. Xu, what's wrong?" Wan Fuquan looked at the woman with a frown and couldn't help but speak.

Xu Miaomiao waved her hand: "Hey, why don't we buy cotton seeds here?"

"We don't have people growing cotton here, so naturally we can't find these seeds." Wan Fuquan patted his chest and said to Xu Miaomiao: "If Madam Song really needs it, I have a friend who is engaged in the seed business.

Yes, I can help you find out something."

"Thank you very much, Boss Wan."

Within two days, Wan Fuquan came to the village to find her and said that the cotton seeds were there.

Xu Miaomiao happily followed him to the market and found a caravan carriage with large and small bags of seeds, including not a few cotton seeds.

Xu Miaomiao immediately made the decision to buy all the seeds.

Seeing how happy she was, the caravan even helped transport her home.

As soon as they got the seeds, the villagers rushed over.

Xu Miaomiao distributed the seeds to everyone, and the village chief planned a piece of land specifically for cotton production.

Growing cotton is a new thing, and everyone is rushing to do it. They go to the cotton fields every now and then to have a look.

However, after a long time, no buds were seen growing in the cotton field, and people gradually lost hope.

As luck would have it, a burst of spring rain fell, and cotton seeds sprouted naturally.

Upon seeing this, Wu Zhuang immediately went to Xu Miaomiao's home to report the good news. Xu Miaomiao heard the news and hurried to the fields to look. He was overjoyed when he saw cotton with teeth.

The villagers were very skeptical before, and even she didn't believe whether cotton could grow in this land, but now she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
