Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

No matter how high the other weeds are, they will only reach Chu Ze’s waist.

But these strains are different.

The tallest branch is actually one or two centimeters taller than Chu Ze.

In fact, what shocked him was not how tall the weeds were.

It's the white, fluffy, white cloud-like cotton wadding on top of the weeds.

Before the man could invite them in, Chu Ze could not help but step in.

The man was stunned for a moment, and several question marks popped up in his head.

‘Why did Mr. Chu go in by himself? We haven't invited you yet. ’

‘No, no, why did Mr. Chu move towards those weeds? ’

His treasures were well kept by him.

Not under those weeds.

The man walked over hurriedly.

Zhu Xi also followed.

Unlike men, Zhu Xi knew clearly that Chu Ze was eyeing those weeds that grew freely.

"No, I invited you to see the baby. Why are you staring at the weeds in their yard?" Zhu Xi said in disgust, but walked towards Chu Ze honestly, his eyes falling on those weeds.

He watched intently.

No matter how you look at it, they are just weeds.

Nothing surprising.

Zhu Xi reached out to grab it.

"Snapped!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Chu Ze slapped it away.

"Hiss..." Zhu Xi took a breath.

He retracted his hand reflexively, looked at the red back of his hand, and condemned: "Chu Ze, what are you doing!"

Didn't he just want to touch the weeds?

As for beating him.

No, Chu Ze usually doesn’t hit people unless...

Zhu Xi looked at the weeds in front of him and said in a cautious voice, "Are these weeds poisonous?"

"No, no, no, this is just an ordinary weed, not poisonous." The man suddenly panicked.

This is his yard. If there is poison, if these two are injured again, ten lives will not be enough for him to compensate.

The man quickly stepped forward and explained: "These are some weeds. It is said that they are from the Yuan Dynasty... they were passed down from the previous dynasty, and their name is cotton. I don't know where they came from. A few seeds fell in our yard and they grew up." ." He is lazy by nature and does not clean up the grass in the yard.

It's not poisonous anyway, so just let them grow.

Unexpectedly, it almost caused a misunderstanding.

The man wiped away cold sweat.

He smiled ingratiatingly and tried to invite Chu Ze and Zhu Ping aside.

"You two gentlemen, please go sit inside the house first. You can barely see people in the house, so you don't have to look at these weeds as an eyesore." As he said this, he went back to grab the cotton.

With a click, he broke off a few branches.

Chu Ze didn't even have time to stop him.

Looking at the broken cotton, Chu Ze felt heartbroken.

He took a step forward and grabbed the cotton.

"What are you doing? Should we let you fold it?" Chu Ze snatched the cotton and felt heartbroken when he saw the cotton scattered due to the sudden external force.

He glared at the man angrily.

man:"……"

Is his flattery just a flattery?

The man looked slightly panicked.

"Come on, aren't you going to get the baby? Why don't you hurry up and get it?" Chu Ze didn't like him now, and just wanted to drive him away quickly.

Seeing that Chu Ze was in a bad mood, the man didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and entered the house.

As soon as he left, Zhu Xi approached Chu Ze and asked, "What's wrong with the cotton?"

It actually made Chu Zesheng so proud.

Chu Ze sighed helplessly.

"Do you know cotton?" Chu Ze waved the broken branch in his hand in front of Zhu Xiang. Zhu Ping took the opportunity and said, "That person just said this, isn't it?"

"Besides what he just said, do you know anything else?" Chu Ze asked again.

This really stumped Zhu Ping.

He shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know."

"You ask, do you know anything?"

Zhu Xi asked.

Chu Ze gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, the response is getting faster and faster."

Zhu Xiang raised his head proudly.

Don't even look at who he is.

And he has been following Chu Ze, no matter how stupid he is, he can still learn something.

"Stop tempting us, tell me quickly what's wrong with the cotton." Zhu Xi urged Chu Ze, waving a cotton branch in front of him.

Chu Ze lowered his gaze to the cotton that had not yet dispersed.

He did not answer Zhu Xi immediately, but asked: "Do you know what we use to keep out the cold in winter?"

Zhu Xiang's curiosity was immediately put back.

He said speechlessly: "You treat us like children?"

Even a three-year-old can answer this question.

"If you have money, you can use fox fur and lamb skin. If you don't have money, you can use dog skin. There are also kapok. Princes, nobles and common people can use it. That's all. The rest is gone." Zhu Xi stretched out his finger and divided it by three and five. The answer is over.

Chu Ze nodded.

He pointed at the white cloud-like cotton in front of him.

"Then do you know that something like this can also keep out the cold?"

Zhu Ping followed Chu Ze's hand and looked at Mian Mian.

His small eyes were full of doubts.

After a while, he tortured his soul: "That's it?"

"Yes." Chu Ze confirmed, "That's it."

Chu Ze reached out and picked a cotton flower.

Cotton is lightweight and soft.

Just pinch it and it becomes a small ball.

It was held in Chu Ze's hand and allowed to be squeezed and rounded.

"This is called cotton. You just heard that person say it. As far as we know, it was introduced to China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, it may be because the planting area was not wide. It was not until the Song and Yuan dynasties that it gradually became popular. The development trend of the Central Plains.”

And depending on the situation, the promotion of cotton in these two dynasties was not very strong.

Until now, there are still people who regard it as a weed.

Chu Ze looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he lowered his voice and continued: "In our era, cotton was an excellent thing. It could be used to make cotton clothes and quilts. After being spun into thread, it could also be used to make clothes and fabrics. . Because it is cheap, both rich and poor can afford it. Its seeds can also be used as cooking oil. In short, there are great benefits." Chu Ze gave a thumbs up. I wish I could praise cotton to the sky.

Zhu Xi listened, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.

After Chu Ze finished speaking, he grabbed Chu Ze's arm and said, "Is everything you said true?"

"Have we ever lied to anyone about this kind of thing?"

Not really.

Chu Ze could lie about other things, but he would not lie about these things.

Zhu Xi looked at these tall cotton plants, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

After a long time, he said to Chu Ze: "Then if we plant in a large area, will we people in the Ming Dynasty no longer worry about being frozen in winter?"

"That's natural." Chu Ze nodded affirmatively.

Zhu Xi immediately said: "What else can you say? Seed."

"By the way, where can I grow cotton?"

"Fujian is fine." Chu Ze gave an accurate answer.

Zhu Xi was even happier.

He said excitedly: "Then we will plant it here, and we will find a place to plant it tomorrow."

"Don't worry, the time for planting cotton has passed this year and will start tomorrow. But we can plan the place first, organize the manpower, and then prepare the seeds. When the time comes tomorrow, we can start planting directly." Chu Ze just said Already thinking about the follow-up. (End of chapter)
