Chapter 300 This "monster" is stupid
Diao Xinyan thought that Mona was probably well protected by her mother, so she didn't realize what this "cotton" meant.
This means that ordinary people at the bottom of society can also afford it. If they try their best, they may be able to spend the winter safely with their family.
Coming out of the store, she asked Mona where they got the cotton from.
Does her mother know about this?
Seeing Diao Xinyan's suddenly serious expression, Mengna's heart skipped a beat: "Sister Xinyan, what's wrong with this cotton? Is there a problem?"
Diao Xinyan sighed: "It seems that you really don't know."
"Don't know what?"
"You know the importance of food, right?"
Mona nodded. Of course she knew this. If there was no food to fill people's stomachs, many people would starve to death.
"Then do you know that many people freeze to death every winter?"
Mona looked blank: "Is there?"
"Yes, a lot." Diao Xinyan briefly described what her father took her to see that year.
The dilapidated house could not keep out the cold wind. If the firewood ran out, they could only fill the quilt with dry grass and rags, and the whole family huddled together and shivered.
Don’t think that they are not diligent. How can farmers not be diligent?
Just like the land they farmed could not feed their family, if the firewood they saved for a year was not used well, they might not be able to survive the winter.
I don’t know about other things, but as for food, Mona has had some exposure after moving to Lanwa Town. After all, there were so many refugees outside that it was difficult to recruit all of them, and there were still many refugees who were said to be starving.
Occasionally, when walking around inside, Mona would hear a lot of things. The most common thing was that after working on so many acres of land all year round, someone in the family still starved to death.
Suddenly, Mengna thought of something and asked quickly, "Sister Xinyan, what if there is a magical seed that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu and can fill the stomachs of many people?"
Diao Xinyan laughed and said that there was no such grain in the world. According to her, the best grain in the world only had a yield of 300 kilograms per mu, and that was the result of using the best fields and taking good care of them.
Mona felt vaguely that she had touched something, and seemed to understand why the refugees were so happy when they knew the yield of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes.
She said, "The mountain god once sent down several kinds of magical grains, one of which is called sweet potato..."
As Mengna continued to talk, Diao Xinyan's eyes widened: "Impossible! There is no way in the world that there is such a high yield of grain!"
"It's true. I didn't lie to you. Although the crops grew so fast because of the protection of the Mountain God, I remember clearly that the Mountain God often promised that even if He didn't cast a spell, as long as the crops were planted properly, the yield per mu could reach 1,000 kilograms..." Mona said, "Many villages in the Eighteen Niba Villages have reserved a few acres of land and planted them using ordinary planting methods. Although these crops grow a little slower, experienced farmers who have seen them say that they look similar to the crops protected by the Mountain God. This statement seems to be true."
She also told Diao Xinyan that the cotton that she felt was amazing was actually passed down by the Mountain God.
Only Cotton Spirit Cloth can be grown by the Cotton Sister clan. If you just want ordinary cotton, ordinary people can also grow it.
…
When Diao Xinyan returned to the inn in a daze, the housekeeper Diao Shu thought something had happened to her and hurried to ask her.
Diao Xinyan turned around blankly, and after a while she said, "I think I'm going to get rich!"
Uncle Diao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she had been cheated by someone when she went out. He should have ignored the lady's obstruction and followed her.
Uncle Diao came closer and asked cautiously, "Miss, what kind of fortune are you trying to make?"
Don't tell him it was a windfall!
Diao Xinyan seemed to have just come to her senses and said, "Didn't you see the things I asked someone to send back?"
"I saw it. I've packed it all for you. Here..." Everything was packed up. Uncle Diao really didn't pay attention to what they were. He just thought they were some favorite things that the young lady bought while she was out strolling.
It's normal for girls to go shopping.
"So you haven't seen it yet, no wonder..." Diao Xinyan muttered to herself, and quickly took out the things, unpacked them, and showed them to him one by one.
Apart from anything else, Uncle Diao had good taste for that jar of monkey wine. He knew it was good stuff as soon as he smelled it.
When he saw the spider cloth and cotton cloth, he was amazed: "Such a small place actually has such good things? The weaver's craftsmanship is too good, isn't it?"
Diao Xinyan shook her head: "It's not just the craftsmanship, these things are only available here, they are their specialties."
"Specialty? Impossible. This thing is so good. If it were a specialty, it would have been discovered long ago..."
"If it had been discovered long ago, we wouldn't have been so ignorant of it and only heard about it now."
…
It was also at this time that Uncle Diao finally put the legendary "Lord Mountain God" into his ears.
I've heard of it before, but I thought it was just another evil beast that was brought out from somewhere to deceive people.
But it can produce so many good things. Even if it is a monster, it is a monster like a cornucopia and should be worshipped.
He was somewhat tempted, and asked Diao Xinyan whether he should send a visiting card to the local forces and ask them to help him get acquainted with this "Lord Mountain God".
Diao Xinyan said: "I've already said it, Mengna will take me to the mountain temple to burn incense tomorrow!"
…
When Diao Xinyan and others came to burn incense, Yang Xiangwei did not show up. Different strategies should be used for different people. There is no need for Him to show up for someone who obviously will not trust Him easily.
Not only would that fail to solve the problem, it would also lower His status.
Of course, Dr. Qian could still suggest that the other party take one of His statues back home.
Because she was asking for a favor, even though the money Doctor Qian quoted was a bit high, Diao Xinyan didn't say anything and smiled as she let Uncle Diao pay the money.
How can you pay homage to the leader of a mountain without bleeding?
They both knew each other well.
Next, Mengna took them to meet local forces such as Yu Zhongdou. When Diao Xinyan suggested that she wanted to visit the sweet potato, potato and corn plantations, the people here readily agreed and arranged the itinerary.
Seeing that nothing was happening here, Yang Xiangwei turned her attention to another group of people.
The deputy captain of the Ice and Fire Mercenary Team, Captain Gan Dong, has arrived. They came in from Lanwa Town. Because they were disguised as a caravan, they were naturally led to Wanhuihui.
A leopard cat failed to hide its tail and was unfortunately seen by Gan Dong and others.
Gan Dong stared at the ocelot with sharp eyes, and said to the mercenaries around him in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, this monster doesn't look simple. If it makes an attacking move, take action immediately."
The mercenaries nodded one after another, gripping their weapons tighter, and slowly approached the ocelot in a fan shape, taking slow steps and trying not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing this seemingly dangerous "monster".
This "monster" was so stupid that it didn't know what was going on until it was surrounded. It thought that others were accidentally blocking its way, so it kindly reminded others: "Sorry, you are blocking me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Gan Dong attacked it.
It was completely shocked, but it was not a pushover. As a member of the leopard cat family, it was best at "stealth", and it disappeared from the opponent's sight in an instant.
"Get out of the way! There's a monster here!"
With just a loud shout, the whole world was shocked.
