Chapter 233 This Girl Has a Big Secret
During the waiting time, Shen Qingqian was not idle. She picked up a hoe and dug a slightly larger hole in the ground next to her. She poured the remaining water into it and stirred it with the hoe. Seeing that the mud looked sticky, she put it into the wooden barrel.
After doing all this, the cotton seeds that were just planted have already reacted.
"It works!" Shen Qingqian suppressed her excitement, with a smile on her face.
She saw cotton plants of different heights emerging in front of her. The one with the highest dosage had already produced fruit, but had not yet bloomed. The one with the lowest dosage had only some green seedlings emerging from the soil.
After confirming his guess, Shen Qingqian was in a good mood. He put all the new cotton plants into the system warehouse, and then walked back with the bucket of mud, humming a song.
But what she didn't know was that not long after she left, Shan Mancheng was standing where she had just done the experiment.
Shan Mancheng looked in the direction where Shen Qingqian left, his face full of thought. After a long moment, he chuckled, "This girl really has a big secret."
As the weather gets colder day by day, more and more people can't stand the cold and are looking for ways to survive the winter.
The Shen family brought some acquaintances to burn charcoal and prepare to build a brick kiln, which soon attracted the attention of all the families in the courtyards on both sides.
Wu Laoliu has a small, old-fashioned, simple brick kiln. Not only is the output of this small kiln unstable, but the quality is also hard to describe.
But for these convicts, having bricks and tiles to use was already a blessing, and some people were willing to exchange their belongings from Wu Laoliu for some bricks and tiles.
The reason why he exchanged instead of buying was because Wu Laoliu was as timid as a mouse and did not want to bear the crime of "being a fugitive doing business".
That morning, someone from the big courtyard pointed at Shen Qingqian's courtyard and said to Wu Laoliu, "Wu Laoliu, look, they're also going to build a brick kiln across the street, and you don't say anything?"
"Let them do what they want. It's not like no one has done it before. But as you can see, up to now, only my broken kiln can be used." Wu Laoliu said disdainfully.
Wu Laoliu thought to himself, do you think anyone can build a brick kiln? People like them value money very much. Of course, over the years, there have been some who tried to build brick kilns without spending money, but unfortunately they all failed.
The mistress of the Shen family across the street had indeed approached him before and asked to borrow some bricks and tiles. He was in a bad mood at the time, thinking that they had just arrived and would have to pay for everything, so they definitely didn't have anything good to exchange, so he refused directly.
Besides, he didn't dare to lend things to unfamiliar people easily. What if they refused to pay back? He didn't expect that the family was so angry and wanted to burn the kiln themselves so soon.
"I heard they've already burned a lot of charcoal. I think they might be able to succeed this time."
"I also think that if the Shen family did it, there should be no problem. Isn't their Dalang in the Military Equipment Bureau? Maybe someone there gave him the advice."
"Really? I have to help them out these two days when I don't have much work to do. Who knows, they might give me some bricks or charcoal as a gift later."
"That's right, let's go together."
As they were talking, more than a dozen people in this yard came in groups of three or four to go to Shen Qingqian's yard.
Wu Laoliu sneered at the backs of these people, "Just wait and see, if they can make good bricks and tiles, I will smash mine!"
Shen Qingqian and the others were busy in the yard.
"Oh, who's that? Didn't we say that we have to make the bricks first? And you, that's not how you make a clay barrel." Shen Jun was so busy that he kept walking around in the Shen family yard.
