333, real and fake cotton

Before lunch, everyone will move freely.

After all, there is no pressure to make money, and there is no need to prepare for cooking. It feels like you have been free for half a day in your life.

"Let's go and find out how much money the other yards have earned." This is what Youqing wants to do the most.

"It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to go." Although Ruicai has become much more mature, his temperament remains unchanged and is still straightforward.

"Tiancai, then what are you going to do?" Dan Tai Furong asked her.

Ruicai didn't know how long everyone would stay here, so he just wanted to finish everything he should do: "I have promised Aunt Gui to teach her to get a seed injection before leaving."

Dan Tai Furong: "That's really boring."

Xizi had his own little plan in his mind, so he stepped forward and pulled Youqing and said, "Youqing, I'll go with you." Xizi actually wanted to find out how many students left and stayed.

Youqing wanted to say a word, and his second smile appeared on his face. He walked out with Xizi in his hand. The first smile that he had not missed for a long time came from when the gentlemen just calculated the amount of money in the group.

"Maybe after lunch, we will be sent back to Kyoto. They have the time to inquire about these things," Dan Tai Furong looked up at the distant green mountains. "It's a pity that it's too hasty. Otherwise, it would be better for us to climb the mountain together. Look at the trees on the mountain, it's already started to turn slightly red. I'm afraid it's better in a few days!"

"So, are you planning to stay and see Hongye?" Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at her.

"That won't work. My grandmother must have missed me crazy." Dan Tai Furong is also an idea-making person. Once the decision is decided, it will not change easily. At this moment, she looked at her eyes with a clear smile: "Anyway, I will follow you today. I will go wherever you go."

"I plan to go to the fields to check it out."

"Then I'll go to the fields to check it out."

"I might go to the big yard to help them, and the school aid has passed."

"Then I'll go and do it."

"... Maybe I have to go to the river to touch loaches." Xiaoxiao intentionally teased her.

"...I'll go too, don't let me catch those guys who flirt with water on me!" Dan Tai Furong looked serious.

Xiaoxiao really wanted to go to the field to see it, and was very curious about what fake cotton that deceived Aunt Gui and Grandpa and the third one were.

Although I drew a large number of plant maps back then, I mainly painted flowers and plants, and very few of them were drawn by these crops. Besides, I only think of cotton.

The two gradually walked towards the village, and large areas of yellow fields were spread out before their eyes, reflecting the blue sky, which was very beautiful like oil paintings. Most of the crops still knew: sorghum, corn, soybeans...

Dan Tai Furong is in a good mood at this moment, and happily formed the invincible sister group with Xiaoxiao again. Along the way, she sang, caught grasshoppers and butterflies.

Xiaoxiao was also infected by her happiness: "What song are you singing? It sounds so nice."

"It's the tune of an ancient song, which can be sung no matter what five-character," Dan Tai Furong sang a slight nasal sound, but it seemed to add more cuteness, "Eight~Moon~Butterfly yellow, Double~Fly~Xiyuan Grass~"

After she finished singing a song, Xiaoxiao also sang her own song: "Today, I will accompany my dad, take my whole family to play~ under the lotus leaves by the pond..."

"What is the baba you sing?" Dan Tai Furong interrupted and asked.

"It's... I also listened to others singing it, and the specific lyrics are not clear." Xiaoxiao could not explain another way of expression of his father.

"Then you just sing like that. Today, I will accompany my sister to play with the whole group~" Tianmei corrected her sister Tianli very seriously.

There was a big peach tree with a twilight posture in the field in front of me. Dan Tai Furong pointed from afar: "That crooked old peach tree! Aunt Gui said that their fake cotton field was next to the peach tree!"

Xiaoxiao couldn't see what had been planted in the fields for a moment, so the two sisters walked along the ridges to the fields.

"Stop talking about fake cotton, I don't even recognize real cotton!" Dan Tai Furong looked at the surrounding crop fields, "I recognize that the corn is ripe! I wondered, the tender corn is obviously delicious, why do people have to wait for them to grow into corn face after they get older? I have tried a snack made of corn before, which is very thick and can't even swallow it."

Xiaoxiao said: "Millet is a coarse grain, and it is naturally not as delicate as wheat flour and glutinous rice flour. However, this crop is highly yielded and can solve the food problems of many people." He thought of some of his plans: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jinshi Theater will launch a delicacy made of corn, which is fragrant, sweet and crispy, so you can enjoy it!"

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat~ When it comes to Jin's Theater, that Jin Zhonglun is really an unreliable person." Dan Tai Furong rolled her eyes, "The Ai family said she wanted to give him more than a dozen jade shops, but he didn't want it, and she insisted on making a group of singers and actors run his theater. Fortunately, my second sister understood that despite the matchmaking of elders, she would never pay attention to him."

Ai Family? Ai Yuanjiao?

Second sister? Dan Tai Shaoyao? I found someone to compete with the magical little fat man, and then her archer masked golden rooster fell off the plum blossom stake alone. It was Dan Tai Shaoyao...

In fact, if it weren't for the in-depth understanding of these three days, Dan Tai Furong's impression on Xiaoxiao was similar to his second sister Shaoyao: "Your second sister? Then what's your eldest sister's name?"

Jasmine, rose, moss, reeds, coriander, taro?

Sorry, my imagination is a big deal. The only thing that is, the family of Cao is too large.

"Tell you secretly that my elder sister's name is Peony." Dan Tai Furong became cautious and not as casual as she said about her second sister. "My elder sister just became a concubine, and my grandmother will no longer let us call her sister outside, let alone her name."

"Tianmei, then aren't you a royal relative?"

"I dare not take it!"

"I really don't know what Jin Zhonglun thought. This person is too unreliable~" Xiaoxiao joked.

"That's to say, you can't open a theater all your life, it's like a joke! You can't be eaten even if you look good!" Tan Tai Furong said, bent down and pointed at a half-yellow leaf: "Is this fake cotton?"

Xiaoxiao looked at the slender black pods between the leaves: "This should be mung beans, which can be made of mung bean soup and mung bean cake." When he looked into the distance, he saw a plant more than half a person tall, with pink and white flowers: "I think it should be those."

"Aren't these hibiscus?" said Dan Tai Furong.

"Of course it's not hibiscus!" Xiaoxiao raised his tone, thinking that the other party's words were very ridiculous.

"Look at you, I'm still anxious about me for a hibiscus." Dan Tai Furong opened her eyes wide and looked carefully. It was indeed not a hibiscus. Although the flower shape was a bit similar, neither the leaves nor the branches were.

"These things seem to be... why are they so short?" Xiaoxiao wanted to make sure of something, but was afraid of saying something wrong.

Dan Tai Furong listened to her incoherent expression and followed her in confusion: "What does fake cotton grow like this? These flowers look so beautiful! What does real cotton look like?"

Xiaoxiao didn't say anything for a moment, walked over and observed these plants up close, especially the bright red calyx, reached out to pick a bud that had not yet bloomed, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it: "What... do these things look like red peaches?"

"What, what's the thing? What k?" Dan Tai Furong felt that she had encountered a fake Tianli.

Xiaoxiao rubbed the calyx with his hands, and even licked it with his tongue: "It's so sour, it's this smell! This kind of plant can still grow here! I said why is it so short? There must be one person in the south that is how tall!"

"What is this k?" Dan Tai Furong said the word k with her mouth biting her mouth.

"This may be Luoshen flower, also called Rose Egg. Have you never seen this thing before? Have you eaten or drunk it?" Xiaoxiao asked Dan Tai Furong. This rich girl had seen the world. If she had never seen and tasted it, it proved that there should not be one in Kyoto.

"Is this thing still edible? Isn't it called K just now? Why did Zi turn into Luoshen and Rose Egg again? Are you sure this thing has nothing to do with Wen Xizi?" Luoshen and Rose Egg suddenly reminded people of Xizi dressing up as Luoshen at the rose feast.

"The Wen family can really use this, they also sell rose tea anyway." Xiaoxiao picked off many calyxes and put them in his pocket prepared in advance.

"Is this thing a tea?" Dan Tai Furong was brave and licked it: "It's so sour!" He looked at the bright red flower juice dyed on his fingers again, "I think it's almost the same with this thing."

"You're right! This thing can really dye, especially food dyeing, which is brighter than the color of the red song!"

"Can I use this rouge in my house?!" Dan Tai Furong's mind was very smart.

"Maybe it's OK! You can bring some back and try it!"

"If it can be really used, these acres of land are not enough for our household!"

Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking about something: "It's amazing. This land in North China can actually produce Luoshen flowers! Even if Tianshui Town is located in the south of Kyoto, the climate should be much worse. This plant should grow in Lingnan, and recently it must be Jiangnan."

"What's the matter? There were large cherry forests and bamboo forests in Chang'an City back then. I'm asking me to say that these soils are changing quietly. The Luoshen flowers you mentioned were written in ancient books, right? That was something that happened a long time ago, maybe it's changed now." Dan Tai Furong said with great thoughts.

Xiaoxiao: The rose goose I mentioned is a long time ago.

Anyway, no matter what, this land can grow the Luoshen flowers. The most common use of the so-called Luoshen flowers today is the Luoshen tea we often drink. The kind of drink that makes people wonder if it is a pigment added is simply unnatural. Now I can tell you that it is not a pigment, it is the natural color of Luoshen flowers.

"What did you just say, what is that?" Dan Tai Furong was full of curiosity.

"Heaven k, that's another name. It's what people in the south call it."

"Do you don't know that word? You're reading it randomly?" Dan Tai Furong looked at Xiaoxiao with a smirk. How could the pronunciation of the word "k"? This tone is too strange. "You write it for me, maybe I can recognize it."

Xiaoxiao lowered her head and picked up a straw pole, and wrote it on the ground, with a big K-word character.
