He continued to spray with an expressionless face until the blood-sucking aphids ran away cursing. Then Ye Sheng continued to pull the cotton. Once he couldn't pull it anymore, he used a hoe. This made Ye Sheng more and more skilled in pulling the cotton.
After picking almost a whole bucket of cotton, Ye Sheng was ready to pull another cotton boll and go down. As soon as he pulled a part of the cotton boll, he immediately touched a hard round object.
The cotton seeds of the cotton tree are in the shape of long thin needles, and they are spread out in the innermost part of the cotton boll in the form of countless long needles.
So this round thing is definitely not cotton seed.
Could it be...
Chapter 69: Picking Cotton
Ye Sheng used a small hoe to smash the cotton boll open, and then took out the round object.
When Ye Sheng took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, he saw that it was no longer than the length of a finger, similar to the size of a yo-yo, and the same snow-white color, which made Ye Sheng a little nervous.
He squeezed it hard but couldn't move it. Ye Sheng secretly took out his super watch, logged into the forum and scanned it again.
N related search terms appear immediately.
Follow the usual practice of choosing a reliable reply.
[Snow Cotton Cocoon: Produced from adult cotton trees, the number is extremely rare. It is the 'graveyard' prepared by blood-sucking aphids for themselves. They spit out the excess blood essence and saliva, mixed with cotton tree sap to condense into a cocoon. When they are on the verge of death, they drill into the cocoon and seal it with saliva. However, snow cotton cocoons often become a tonic for other blood-sucking aphids, so they are very rare. They are one of the precious raw materials for the base to make certain special weapons.]
Sure enough, it was almost the same as Ye Sheng guessed, it was really a snow cotton cocoon!
After completing the quick search, Ye Sheng quickly exited the forum.
If the beeping sound of the detector scanning was not loud and could not be turned down, which would easily attract other people, Ye Sheng would not have bothered to search on the Super Intelligent Network. Fortunately, the result was good, it was really a snow cotton cocoon!
A small snow cotton cocoon can be exchanged for ten kilograms of cotton!
very nice.
The cotton picking was off to a good start.
Ye Sheng happily put the snow cotton cocoons into his bag, and then plucked all the remaining cotton from the cotton boll in front of him. Then he got down from the high stool and went to the steward with a full bucket of cotton.
Compared to other workers, the small manager is a supervisor.
When not working, there is also a set of field desks, which are responsible for recording the work status of workers... Although each person's salary is fixed at 300 points per day, those who fail will have their salary deducted, and those with excellent work ability can get additional rewards.
For example, give a few more kilograms of cotton.
What is considered excellent work ability?
Of course, it is the speed and quantity of picking cotton.
"You look like a skinny little girl, but I didn't expect you to be so good at picking. You picked a lot of them quickly. Keep going. Today's award will definitely be yours."
"Yeah, I'll keep working hard."
Ye Sheng poured the cotton in the bucket into the large basin next to the steward. Then the steward took out a thick notebook and asked Ye Sheng to write his name, age, etc., and finally stamped it with a seal.
After making sure it was recorded, Ye Sheng carried the empty bucket back home.
When passing by the crowd, I did not forget to observe and found that the strong man who pulled the most cotton had only pulled less than half a bucket...
Ye Sheng raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling that he seemed too conspicuous.
Let's just grind our teeth!
Anyway, if she picked too much, she wouldn't get any.
┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
Just stay within the range of being able to receive excellent rewards. Yue Fei Group №℃: ㈧五≮★栖6⑥℃=三!思∽⌒si②.
By observing everyone's work status, Ye Sheng discovered that in addition to the difficulty of picking the cotton in the bolls, the biggest obstacle was the blood-sucking aphids, which jumped out from time to time to attack.
Someone was bitten by a jumping blood-sucking aphid when he was not paying attention, and then fell off the stool without making a sound.
Because the saliva of the blood-sucking aphid has a paralyzing property, the person bitten cannot move at all and can only watch the blood-sucking aphid suck blood... But fortunately, there are mercenaries patrolling, and when they see this situation, they just spray it with a spray bottle.
The blood-sucking aphid immediately let out a sharp cry and loosened its mouth. It then tried to run back to the tree, but was mercenary-stomped mercilessly.
"Are you idiots? You can't even deal with a bug. You are such a loser. Cheer up!"
After the mercenary crushed the bug to death, the sole of his shoe was covered with dirt. He unhappily raised his foot and rubbed it on the paralyzed person, then cursed and kicked the person under his feet to vent his anger.
In the end, it was the worker who followed him who quietly begged for mercy and gave him an edible green date that made the mercenary "mercifully" leave.
Seeing the mercenary walking away, the man who had just been humbled immediately changed his expression and turned his head to the side and said "Pooh".
"The Grey Wolf Mercenaries are still so arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak all the time. They are so shameless. Sooner or later, they will die under the claws of polluted creatures."
After scolding him, he helped the paralyzed person up and put him aside to wait for him to recover.
Ye Sheng passed by silently, and then stepped on a high stool to pick cotton with more caution, fearing that he would be bitten and kicked by the mercenaries.
After seeing what the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group did, and thinking back to the Blue Luan Mercenary Group, Ye Sheng felt that the two were simply incomparable.
I just don't know why the mercenary group was changed this time when picking cotton? Or, were the people from the Qingluan Mercenary Group assigned to other areas?
Ye Sheng deliberately slowed down his pace when picking cotton this time, and was more careful when pulling the cotton.
Unfortunately, we didn't find the second snow cotton cocoon until we stopped working in the afternoon.
Come to think of it, not only humans want snow cotton cocoons, but blood-sucking aphids want them even more... She was able to obtain the snow cotton cocoons successfully because the blood-sucking aphids that attacked her earlier didn't have time to eat them, so she got a bargain.
"Shengsheng, picking cotton is so tiring. I don't even dare to be lazy."
At this time, the sun sets in the west, and the orange-red light shines down on the cotton forest, just like a layer of gauze, which looks quiet and beautiful, and makes people feel relaxed and at ease.
Zhou Lin, who followed Ye Sheng, chattered and moved her numb arms from time to time. She went from being excited when she came here to feeling depressed, but fortunately, her depressed mood did not last long.
The two followed the crowd of people leaving work and soon came to the place where the small manager had placed his desk during the day. At this time, two hundred people had arrived. The small manager picked up his notebook and immediately read out everyone's work results for the day.
"Huang Li, five barrels of cotton, passed."
"Lin Bin, eight barrels of cotton, passed."
"Liu Sijia, three barrels of cotton, failed!"
After saying the word "unqualified", the steward stopped reading and said in front of everyone: "We don't keep idle people here. Even a child can pick three buckets of cotton. They are not young anymore. Don't let me talk nonsense! For those who are unqualified, the points they get today will be halved, and one hour will be deducted from the last cotton picking time."
When the steward finished speaking, there was quite a commotion among the crowd, but he did not waste any time and continued reading.
"Zhou Lin, seven barrels of cotton, passed."
"Zhou Rui, twelve barrels of cotton, passed."
"week......"
In the crowd, Zhou Lin patted his chest when he heard that he had passed.
Luckily she wasn't lazy!
After hearing about her elder brother Zhou Rui's results, she happily pulled Ye Sheng's arm and shook it, laughing and saying: "Shengsheng, did you hear that? My elder brother is awesome!"
So far, no one has exceeded ten barrels of cotton!
Today's outstanding award must go to her eldest brother.
When hearing Zhou Lin bragging about her brother, Ye Sheng couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he didn't say anything, just thinking that he seemed to be in the limelight today.
"Shengsheng, you're pretty good too. I saw you delivering cotton back and forth several times before. You'll definitely pass!"
Just after Zhou Lin spoke out his encouragement, the voice of the steward sounded.
"Ye Sheng, eighteen barrels, passed!"
Chapter 70: Let’s cheer together!
When Zhou Lin heard the steward talking about Ye Sheng's 18 barrels of results, his eyes widened uncontrollably.
Oh my god, did she hear it right? Shengsheng actually picked eighteen buckets!!!
This is too strong!
Ever since Ye Sheng had been guarding the house alone and repelling the criminals, the Zhou family always stressed that Zhou Lin should befriend Ye Sheng, believing that the orphan girl of the Ye family would have great fortune in the future, but Zhou Lin didn't care.
Just treat Ye Sheng as her playmate.
However, after hearing with her own ears that 18 barrels of cotton had been picked today, Zhou Lin suddenly realized that Ye Sheng was indeed different from before!
The others present looked at each other in confusion, wondering who this Ye Sheng was.
Under the circumstance that cotton bolls were extremely difficult to pick, and we had to guard against the attacks of blood-sucking aphids, we picked 18 barrels of cotton in just one day. It was really amazing!
They could only pick a few buckets of cotton.
The steward finished reading the names on the notebook, then smiled and waved at Ye Sheng.
However, Ye Sheng was shocked and quickly waved his hands towards the steward, indicating that he would never go over there!
It's not a circus monkey!
Being watched by people...
Moreover, she is small in stature but has won the most awards, which will definitely make people speculate.
When the time comes, I will try my best to find out the secret of picking cotton.
However, she didn't have any tricks, just an ordinary little hoe that made picking cotton easier.
It was cheating secretly.
When the steward saw that Ye Sheng didn't want to be in the spotlight, he didn't force him to do anything, but just announced that the first day's outstanding award would go to Ye Sheng, who would receive a pound of cotton.
After that, they encouraged everyone again and then dispersed. As long as they did not leave the designated area, they could move around freely.
"Wow, Shengsheng, you are so awesome!"
Although Zhou Lin felt a little jealous when she heard that Ye Sheng had defeated her eldest brother, she quickly adjusted herself, thinking that her eldest brother was also very capable and would definitely be able to defeat Sheng Sheng tomorrow!
Then she remembered that she, a useless little girl, had only picked seven buckets, while Ye Sheng had picked more than twice as many!
He immediately looked over with admiration, thinking that he was indeed Ye Sheng, the one who fought off the criminals!
Ye Sheng felt relieved when he saw that Zhou Lin had no resentment. He waved his hand to be modest. After that, the two of them received dinner from the base - a bottle of ordinary nutrient solution.
I have already distributed a bottle of nutrient solution this morning, so this one is a bonus.
The sky quickly darkened and turned into night.
Ye Sheng sat in front of the fire in front of the tent, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the stars, a little worried about whether the poor little girl was doing well at home... She had only been away from home for two days, and she missed the poor little girl already!
/(ㄒoㄒ)/
Since they took the poor little thing home, they haven't been apart for too long!
I'm really not used to it.
"Shengsheng, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Hearing Zhou Lin's voice, Ye Sheng did not change his actions, but said helplessly: "I would rather sleep outside than smell stinky feet. I am almost suffocated by them."
"Hehe, me too!"
Zhou Lin sat down next to Ye Sheng and looked up at the night sky like her.
The quiet atmosphere suddenly made her want to talk. Knowing that Ye Sheng was not a talkative person, Zhou Lin simply said directly: "Shengsheng, I'm going to work in the safe zone this year."
However, the first thing he said was a big bomb, which made Ye Sheng look sideways in surprise.
She had thought that after Zhou Lin was attacked by the Kachi green frog, he had developed a great fear of the wilderness, and the Zhou family would not keep idle people, so they would definitely let Zhou Lin go to the wilderness again... Unexpectedly, Zhou Lin found a solution so quickly.
"Hehe, you are surprised, right? I was also very surprised when I heard it."
Zhou Lin smiled proudly and continued, "Thanks to my eldest brother, he helped me get a stable job in the safe zone, with food and accommodation provided. Although I can't transfer my household registration to become a resident of the safe zone, it's not bad."
With this safe zone job, she no longer has to go to the wilderness to scavenge.
For this, Zhou Lin is very grateful to her elder brother.
But as a girl who grew up in a relaxed zone, after the surprise, I was worried and anxious, always thinking about all sorts of things, such as being looked down upon by people in the safe zone or being bullied.
However, seeing his friend Ye Sheng today, who had undergone a tremendous change compared to the past, Zhou Lin became more resolute.
Everyone is working hard to become better, she doesn't want to be left behind!
"That's great. You work hard in the safe zone. I will also work hard to save enough points to buy a house in the safe zone!"
"Yeah, let's work hard together!"
