Chapter 236: Taking a Reassurance Pill

At this point, Shen Shaojing said to Shen Yueyao very seriously: "Sister, when I went out with the caravan, I heard and saw a lot, and I really want to open a cloth shop."

"If we open an embroidery and fabric shop in our village, we can reduce the cost of fabric and clothing, so that people can buy clothes and fabric at a lower price."

"Cotton quilts are especially expensive because there is a shortage of cotton and the cost of transporting it is high. That's why it's so expensive."

"Sister, do you think we can grow cotton here?"

Shen Shaojing had been humiliated and looked down upon by the Xu family before, and he really wanted to achieve something.

He had previously thought about opening a cloth shop, mainly to vent his anger.

But after actually going out and seeing some things, he realized that wanting to open a cloth shop was just his own idea.

Perhaps because Ning Mianmian was by his side during this period, talking to him and discussing the cloth shop with him, some of his previous extreme emotions gradually disappeared, and his heart calmed down.

No matter what you do, you don’t have to show it to others. As long as you feel good about it and feel a sense of accomplishment, that’s enough.

Shen Shaojing knew that his sister was capable, so he told her all his ideas.

After finishing speaking, Shen Shaojing looked at his sister with burning eyes and an expectant look in his eyes.

Yes, he expected his sister to tell him that his method would work.

I look forward to my sister saying that cotton can be grown here.

He could imagine that if the land here could be used to grow cotton, the villagers would be able to buy quilts and make cotton clothes in winter and would not have to worry about the cold.

Moreover, cotton can be used to make cotton cloth, and clothes made of cotton cloth are very comfortable to wear.

It can also be used to make bed sheets, mattresses and other items.

The more Shen Shaojing thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that his whole body was full of energy when he thought about it.

Shen Yueyao looked at her fourth brother's expression seriously and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, it's okay. It's good to have your own ideas."

"But you have to know that running a cloth shop is not the same as running a store."

"For example, if you open a gourmet food store, you might be able to prepare and open the store in a few days, but if you open a cloth shop, the cotton growing cycle is longer. According to our climate, cotton is planted in mid-April every spring and is generally harvested in September or October."

"But there's no need to worry about yields. As long as we plant well, the cotton yield will be good."

Shen Yueyao has space and is not worried about this at all.

As long as the cotton seeds are stored in a space with spiritual springs and spiritual energy for a period of time, the seeds will become high-quality seeds, which will not only have strong adaptability to the environment but also have high yields.

You can tell by looking at the potatoes that have been dug.

Everything that comes out of space is good.

After hearing these words, Shen Shaojing felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

"Little sister, I knew you would find a way."

"I feel relieved when you say that. I didn't expect that we can grow cotton here."

"That way, I can make new quilts in the winter."

"If the winter were colder, fewer people would freeze to death."

Shen Yueyao thought that Fourth Brother had a good idea. In fact, if there was a kang here, it wouldn't be cold in winter.

But there is no heated kang here.

Of course, many families cannot afford to buy cotton, even old cotton.

There was less cotton in this era, so cotton-related products were expensive.

Some villagers use linen as quilt covers in winter and put wheat bran inside as quilts.
