"As long as the contract is signed, the date for picking up the goods will be easy to arrange. We will also go to Wanfeng to handle the transportation of the goods. However, we may come back to visit halfway. Miss Yan doesn't mind, right?"
"As long as you are not afraid of the sun, you are welcome to come anytime."
Several people drafted a sales contract together and signed their names on it, and the matter was settled.
After signing the contract, the three men and the people they brought with them did not leave immediately. Instead, they went to the fields together again. They were very satisfied with the cotton in the fields, as if the cotton was grown by them.
Zhao Shitou came over from a distance and said, "Miss, should we let them go to the middle of the field? Should we stop them?"
"Let them watch. They're not afraid of the heat." Chunxiao watched from the doorway. "I just saw them arguing. What were they arguing about?"
"The tall one said to the fat one, 'You only have 35,000 kilograms, why did you change your mind and ask for 50,000 kilograms?' Then the fat one said, 'You're still the same. You clearly only want 50,000 kilograms, but you suddenly asked for 70,000 kilograms. We're about the same.' That was all. It wasn't really an argument. They even laughed after they said it."
Chun Xiao chuckled. She wasn't laughing at the content of the conversation, but at the way Zhao Shitou was imitating others. She looked at Xingfu and cleared her throat. "Let them watch. Don't pay any attention to them. All of you go and have some rest."
"Miss, are all these people here to buy cotton from our fields?" Meiman was amazed. "We haven't even harvested the cotton yet, and already this reputation has spread!"
"I met Mr. Sun in Yunzhou. He knew I grew cotton and he was short of cotton, so he agreed to come to our place to buy cotton. I just didn't expect him to come so early."
"I was wondering how others knew we had cotton, considering it's so far away."
"Don't underestimate the merchant's sense of smell. Just wait and see. When we're harvesting, there will definitely be people sniffing out the scent and coming here."
A group of people wandered around in the field for about two incense sticks of time before finally coming out.
He kept saying yes, but finally left reluctantly.
Xingfu watched the carriage go away and smiled, "Miss, these are all wealthy masters, but I find them quite interesting. They were just digging in the fields."
"Let me tell you, the man in the green silk dress has a farm where he grows cotton. He probably wants to see what's different about our land."
"Then you let him see Miss, and no one stopped him." Xingfu suddenly became nervous.
"Just watch. If he can plant well just by looking, I admire him." She looked towards the wheat field. "The wheat will be harvested in the next two days. When the time comes, you should weigh it carefully. Except for 6,000 kilograms of tax grain and 2,100 kilograms of seed grain, thresh the rest and arrange for people to grind it. Oh, by the way, I asked you to go to the township government to ask how the sacks are going. We will need them soon."
"When we talked about it, Big Brother Cha said he would help us contact people."
"How did you order it? How much did you order?"
"We ordered 5,000 coarse-mesh sacks and 1,000 fine-mesh sacks."
"Take Zhao Shitou and go check it out again in a couple of days. If it doesn't work, buy some densely packed ones first. We'll need them to store flour."
"I understand, Miss."
On August 3rd, the wheat harvest began. There were only 150 mu (approximately 150 mu) of wheat, and it was all harvested in two days. Everyone rushed to dry, thresh, sieve, and grind the wheat. Chunxiao calculated that the wheat alone would provide enough food for a year, which was just right.
After working for about 10 days, the first crop of cotton in the field began to be harvested. Everyone was so busy that they couldn't rest for a while, so they were divided into two groups, the front group harvested and the back group cut off the branches.
The working time is also divided into two parts. I am busy in the fields in the morning and evening, and I dry the cotton in the yard at noon.
The first harvest took more than 10 days, and more than 80,000 kilograms of cotton were harvested. Sun Fugui and his team arrived just two days after the first harvest.
When Zhou Sukang heard he had over 80,000 kilograms, he quickly told the other two to give him 50,000 kilograms first, saying he was far away. The other 30,000 kilograms was snatched up by Wang Maoquan. Sun Fugui, on the side, was furious and joked that he should not have told them earlier, leaving them to fumble in the dark.
So the next day, the convoy came in a grand manner, attracting many people from nearby villages. They all said that they had never seen so many carriages.
That’s right, they used horse-drawn carriages this time. This time, they didn’t check the goods bag by bag, they just loaded them onto the carriages and left.
To show their sincerity, the two men paid for the cotton in one lump sum and said they would come back to transport the rest later.
"Master Sun, we will have tens of thousands of pounds in two days. Don't be anxious." Chunxiao thought his anxious look was really funny.
"This trip back and forth takes quite a while, Miss Yan, so please be sure to keep some of our supplies for us."
"Don't worry, we've signed a contract, and I wouldn't dare disobey. I don't have the money to pay for it."
On the third or fourth day after the cotton was shipped away, when Zhuangzi was carrying out the second round of harvesting, suddenly a lot of people came to find him.
After asking, I found out that they were all there to buy cotton.
"I didn't know there was such a big cotton farm here. Look at the fields, there's a lot of cotton."
"Yes, if I hadn't seen the convoy leaving the city the day before yesterday, I would have given the guy at the back of the car some money and asked him who could have found this place."
"There were cotton growers in Pengdong before, but not many. I didn't expect to find a large grower this time. Maybe there have always been some here, but we just didn't know about it."
"No, I asked people in the nearby village. This farm was newly built. This was originally a piece of wasteland that had been idle for a long time. It was only sold last year."
