Chapter 221 Picking Cotton

　　She simply ignored Shen Qingxiao's subsequent questions. If she really wanted to explain, she would say that she didn't see it because it was far away and blocked by the twists and turns.

　　When Shen Qingxiao heard that this thing could be made into clothes and quilts, his attention was diverted. He didn't even bother to think about why he hadn't seen it before. "How do you make it? Sew it into clothes and quilts?"

　　In the past, they used ordinary cloth strips to sew in their thick winter clothes and quilts, or shredded softer materials and sewed them in. But now they don’t even have enough cloth to make a new set of clothes, so how can they fill their clothes and quilts with cloth?

　　The outer coats and quilts that the Shen family uses to keep warm are all made from animal furs that they had obtained in the mountains before. They really block the wind, but they have not been professionally treated, so they are not actually comfortable.

　　"It's sewn in, but it needs to be dried first." Shen Qingqian smiled with her eyebrows curved, and she was in a good mood.

　　She had just taken a rough look. The 30 or so cotton plants probably had a lot of bolls because of the fertilizer and spring water. She estimated that each plant would yield about 300 to 500 grams of seed cotton. Overall, she could get about 6 to 10 kilograms of lint cotton.

　　Although this amount is far from enough for the family's needs, Shen Qingqian is not in a hurry. With this batch of cotton, she can find an opportunity to plant the seeds of this batch of cotton. Then won't there be more for the next batch?

　　This year she has no time to take care of the normal planting and flowering periods of cotton. After there is enough cotton at home, she will collect the seeds and wait until April next year to sow them again.

　　If someone wonders why the flowering period of cotton is different from this year, she will simply say she knows nothing about it. Anyway, Dajin doesn't have this thing. After planting it for a long time, they will naturally know what's going on. But by then, no one will pursue what happened today.

　　"Then let's quickly pick all of these back!" After Shen Qingxiao confirmed, he also knew that this was a good thing. It was better than sewing leaves and roots into the quilts by Jiang Goudan and the others.

　　The two sisters began to pick cotton with swift movements.

　　On the other side, the army in northern Hubei was conducting an inspection of new recruits.

Ling Yun made what Sheng Ze wanted last night. In order to satisfy his master, he didn't sleep the whole night.

　　However, seeing Liang Cheng's satisfied expression on his serious face, Ling Yun felt that his efforts were worth it.

　　"General, you see, the fifth and sixth battalions are led by the Cheng brothers. They are okay, right?" Coach Deng was about to laugh in his heart, but he just said it was okay.

　　The military organization of the Jin Dynasty was similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty in Shen Qingqian's world history, with 50 people in a team, two teams in a city, five cities in a camp, five camps in an army, and ten armies in a wing. The camp was the most basic combat unit, with infantry having a full strength of 500 people, and cavalry would be insufficient for various reasons.

　　Liang Cheng's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Coach Deng, "Well, that's right. I heard they are fugitives?"

　　Coach Deng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Liang Cheng had an opinion on this, and quickly said, "Yes, but I think their skills can't be wasted in a place like the mine, so..."
