Chapter 461: Lack of cotton
Chapter 461 Lack of cotton
The two sat in the pavilion and chatted for a while about the Jiang family's follow-up strategies regarding the training of the twenty men and women in the farm.
Duan Yan didn't leave until he saw the children coming from the garden.
"Hello, Uncle Duan." The children met outside the pavilion and greeted Duan Yan one after another.
Duan Yan nodded with the children expressionlessly, and then strode away.
"Mother, my son is here to see you." Kun'er ran up to the pavilion.
"Mother"
"aunt"
Yang Lan'er looked at the children with a smile and asked them about their learning and martial arts.
The children talked about the fun around Yang Lan'er.
So in the pavilion, laughter came from time to time.
Kun'er looked at her mother happy, and took the opportunity to say, "Mother, when shall we go to Zhuangzi again?"
In Zhuangzi, they can play everywhere, catch fish and pick snails, and they can also go to the mountains to set pheasants and pick wild fruits. Although they have never set them before, they can sometimes pick mushrooms.
Yang Laner pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Uh, it will take a while, these days my mother has something to do in the county, after this period of time, I will take you to Zhuangzi to have a good time."
Facing Yang Laner's promise, the children cheered.
One autumn rain and one cold, put on cotton for ten autumn rains.
There was an autumn rain at night, and when I woke up the next morning, the chill in the air went straight into my body.
Yang Lan'er put on her jacket, and after breakfast, she asked Xiao Ruo to call the housekeeper over.
"Ma'am, what do you want me to tell you?" Steward Wang saluted the lady sitting at the top and asked.
Yang Lan'er took a sip of honey water and said with a soft smile: "Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, how are the autumn clothes prepared by everyone at home?"
Steward Wang's heart shivered, and he said respectfully: "The servants in the family have all distributed them this morning. The autumn clothes for people in the farm, village and valley have been arranged for the small ones just now, and they will be distributed to them this afternoon. , This time it was a little thoughtless, next time I will definitely prepare early."
It was his mistake this time, and he only thought of sending out clothes when it was cold.
Yang Lan'er saw that he had taken the responsibility, so she didn't blame him anymore. In fact, she was also responsible for this matter, and she didn't remind the housekeeper in time.
It seems that she has to continue to learn about managing internal affairs, and there are only a few dozen people in the family business who have made mistakes.
"Well, that's all for now. The winter coat and quilt can be prepared now."
Wang Steward heard the words, hesitated to speak, hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
"What's the secret? Don't hesitate, just tell me." Yang Lan'er asked.
"Ma'am, it may be a bit difficult to prepare cotton-padded clothes and quilts this winter."
Yang Lan'er was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Oh, what do you say?"
Wang Steward rubbed his hands, and said honestly: "This year's disaster year has just passed, and cotton production has been greatly reduced. Now cotton has been sold at sky-high prices, and there is nowhere to buy it if you have money."
When the drought is over, the first thing people think of is to grow food. People are starving to death. Who will grow cotton?
That's why we are in the current situation. There is no place to buy cotton if you have money.
Yang Lan'er was stunned.
She didn't expect this to be the case, she frowned and thought about it, and then said: "Didn't the valley kill a lot of hares this year, so that the people in the valley can use rabbit skins to sew winter clothes. As for other people, we are thinking about other things." Method."
Things always have to be solved, and it is impossible to let one's own people have no clothes to keep warm in winter.
"No, the little one goes down first."
Yang Laner nodded, "Go."
