Chapter 56 - buy cotton
Chen Xiabai didn’t know that he was being targeted, and Chen Xiayue didn’t know that his second brother would be targeted by Ye Yun, the book-wearing heroine and her system.
When they saw Ye Yun, Chen Xiayue and Zhang Chengchuan didn’t even want to go up and say hello. They didn’t have any bad feelings for Ye Yun, but they didn’t have any good feelings for Ye Yun, and the relationship was not so close and unfamiliar, so they didn’t need to say hello.
Chen Xiabai took Chen Xiayue to the place where clothes and fabrics were sold and said to her, “What kind of material do you like? What color?”
“Comrade, I want five catties of cotton.” Chen Xiabai said to the salesman.
Today’s sales clerks are different from those in the 21st century. They are very proud to have such a job. If it weren’t for Chen Xiabai’s face, the sales clerk might not look at Chen Xiayue and the three of them directly.
“What about you, Achuan?” Chen Xiabai asked his brother-in-law. He was in charge of buying his sister’s cotton cloth and cotton, but he was not in charge of his brother-in-law and in-laws.
“I want fifteen kilograms of cotton.” Zhang Chengchuan said, a cotton-padded coat also needs about five kilograms of cotton, so he and his parents will each have fifteen kilograms of cotton, no problem.
“A total of 20 pounds of cotton, right? Wait.” The young salesperson’s tone was not so arrogant, but her eyes were softened when she looked at Chen Xiabai.
Chen Xiayue doesn’t care about the attitude of the salesperson. Could it be that she can still sue her because of the attitude of the other party? Where to report? Isn’t that what the service industry of this era is all about?
In the 21st century, the customer is God, but in this era, the service industry is the uncle.
Chen Xiayue chose an army green fabric, which was defective. If it weren’t for the defective product, the military green fabric, which is very popular in this era, would not have been kept here forever, but the defective product is only a little uneven in color, which is not a big problem.
Chen Xiayue chose the fabric, and the salesperson also packed 20 catties of cotton, which is still quite expensive. However, neither Chen Xiabai nor Zhang Chengchuan were stingy when they paid, and they paid the money simply and readily.
“What more do you want? Do you want to buy a watch for you?” Chen Xiabai looked at his sister and said, the cotton and fabric he just bought were thrown to his brother-in-law. Who made him grow taller and stronger? And as a brother-in-law, can he let his uncle carry things for him?
“No, I don’t have any place to use a watch.” Chen Xiayue shook her head and said, she really didn’t need a watch, not to mention that if she checked the time, she could also check the system’s time, she didn’t need a watch.
In her previous life, Chen Xiayue didn’t buy a watch. When she had that kind of small alarm clock, she always looked at the time of the small alarm clock. Later, when she had a mobile phone, she used the mobile phone to check the time. She never bought or used a watch at all.
Chen Xiayue doesn’t like to wear anything on her body, whether it’s a watch or jewelry, so she should not buy a watch for her.
Seeing her serious expression, Chen Xiabai nodded and said, “Then what else do you need, the second brother will buy it for you.”
“Second brother, you should save some savings for my second sister-in-law later. Although I am very happy that you love me like this, you are not afraid that my future second sister-in-law will be unhappy when she finds out that you are spending money on me like this?” Chen Xiayue shook her head. road.
Although it is said that it is very happy to have a sister-controlled brother, but sometimes a person who is the wife of a sister-controlled brother is happy if it is different.
After all, no one wants to see their husband consider their sister more important than themselves, or say that they are not half as important as their husband’s sister, and no one wants to do this.
Chen Xiabai patted her forehead funnyly and said, “You think too much, your second brother, I will only give you money because I haven’t met a girl I like. When your second brother gets married, you want me to give you money. Money is hard.”
“When the time comes, don’t complain that I have a daughter-in-law and forgot my sister.” Chen Xiabai joked.
Chen Xiayue nodded, and then Chen Xiabo chatted with Zhang Chengchuan about mechanical things. Chen Xiayue didn’t know anything about this, so she quietly listened to them talking about them. She herself collected the mature crops on the farm, and then plant.
This time Chen Xiayue planted corn, wheat, sweet potatoes and other food crops. Chen Xiayue did not plant vegetables or anything. It is good to have a variety of grains.
Originally, the farm had ten plots of land, but Chen Xiayue spent gold coins and experience to reclaim five plots of plots. Now Chen Xiayue has a total of fifteen plots with an area of about five cents per mu. Therefore, she has three crops of corn, wheat and sweet potatoes. Half an acre of land was planted.
The farm has a lot of farmland, and there is no other space that can be reclaimed as large as tens of thousands of acres after upgrading. The farm can only grow a total of thirty pieces of farmland, which means that the area is only three acres.
But three mu of land is enough for Chen Xiayue. After all, the crops on her farm grow very fast, and one mu of land can also grow tens of thousands of mu of other people’s crops.
It’s just a pity that it takes a lot of gold coins and experience to reclaim all the farmland. The more gold coins and experience are needed in the later stage, it is very good that Chen Xiayue can reclaim 15 pieces of land now.
Chen Xiayue is more looking forward to the crops to be unlocked. Now she has unlocked wheat, corn, tomatoes, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, cabbage and white radishes, but she doesn’t know if the next crop is rice.
The growth rate of wheat is fast and the yield is good, but Chen Xiayue is a pure southerner, she likes to eat rice instead of pasta.
Unlocking the rice early is really what Chen Xiayue looks forward to the most, and she can be free when she unlocks the rice early. Although it is good that she has so much flour to make various delicious dishes compared to others, Chen Xiayue prefers white rice.
Really looking forward to the rice unlocked as soon as possible.
Chen Xiayue kept half of the grain and vegetables harvested in the warehouse, and sold the other half to the system. The remaining half was set aside for food, and the rest was sold to Anles.
Chen Xiayue’s thoughts drifted away slowly, thinking of the sweet potatoes planted by Yunhe Brigade. I don’t know what happened to the sweet potatoes in the brigade. In fact, the normal growth cycle of sweet potatoes is about 120-200 days, but she replaced the sweet potato seeds from the Yunhe Brigade. I don’t know how long the sweet potatoes produced by the system grow.
Chen Xiayue still hopes that only three months will be enough, so that the rice cultivation will not be delayed. However, the sweet potatoes on the farm grow fast, and Chen Xiayue can’t say whether using the sweet potatoes produced by the farm system will shorten the time for growing them outside.
Because she returned to her parents’ home, Chen Xiayue also told Ans that she could not provide food to Ans today, and maybe she would have to take a day off tomorrow.
After all, it is not convenient for her to go back to her mother-in-law’s house. After all, there are fewer people in her mother-in-law’s house. There are many people here. If she cooks food for Ans, how can she explain where she has gone?
You must know that all the food she cooks for Ans is made in the house on the farm. It takes an hour or two to cook a big meal once she goes in. How can she explain that she disappears for an hour or two?
When I was at my in-law’s house, my in-laws had to go to the ground. Even after work, they would seldom stare at Chen Xiayue. She disappeared for an hour or two and no one noticed anything.
It’s different in her parents’ house, and she came back to see her family’s relatives. If she doesn’t get along well with them and have a good chat, she insists on disappearing for an hour or two, so why come back?
So I could only ask Ans for a leave of absence and extend the time to cook food for him by a day or two.
