I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 135 Cotton Seeds and Lotus Seeds

Needless to say, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan can just split the money for the wine and Ganoderma lucidum in half.

The money from selling other medicinal herbs (including the wild ginseng) and mountain products was divided among all of them in proportion to their respective contributions.

Gu Wenxuan, Bai Jingzhou, Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi, Bai Chong, and Gu Wenxuan's six cousins, who are the main combat force, labor force and main force in collecting herbs, are each counted as 1 contribution point.

Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan, Gu Wenxuan's two younger brothers, her eldest cousin Fang Youfu's wife Li, and Li, Gu Yongqing, Lin Shuzhen, Ning Cuizhi and others who had previously helped with chores in the village, were calculated at 0.8 contribution points.

The algorithm was a bit complicated. Except for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, who had lived in the apocalypse for many years and were used to dividing the spoils according to contribution points, no one else really understood how they calculated how much silver to give each person.

But when Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan took out the silver and gave ten taels of silver to those who got 1 contribution point and eight taels of silver to those who got 0.8 contribution points, and then exchanged the remaining five taels of silver for cloth, salt, flour and other items, preparing to take them back to the village to distribute to the relatives who had helped them for free before, everyone immediately understood.

Whoever contributes more will get more, and they understand this very well.

Jia Guizhi privately talked to her husband about Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou. "They were writing and calculating with pen and paper, which made me very confused. But in the end, they didn't come up with anything new."

Gu Wenxuan happened to pass by their window: ...

What can she say? These are her own parents, so she can just ignore them.

He called Bai Jingzhou, who had already distributed the money to everyone, and the two went to Mu Hanzhi together.

Before they went to the cave to hide the money and divided the money among everyone, they had already greeted Mu Hanzhi and said that they would come to him in the evening to discuss another matter.

When they came over, Mu Hanzhi had already asked his subordinates to prepare a banquet.

Rich people are different. Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou are obviously locals, but in Liulin Town, they just eat as much as they can. They don't pay any attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, the taste and presentation of the dishes, and everyone is very satisfied with this. As for Mu Hanzhi, although he is staying in Liulin Town for the first time, he is very particular about every aspect of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At Mu Hanzhi's gesture, the two took their seats, exchanged a few words with him, and then began to eat hard while competing with each other.

Their movements were quick and efficient, and although they did not appear to be rude in any way, the speed with which the food on the table disappeared was astonishing, especially for Gu Wenxuan, who was very strong and had a big appetite. The speed and amount of food she ate were undoubtedly the only ones Mu Hanzhi had ever seen in his life.

Fortunately, Mu Hanzhi was a man who had seen many storms. After a brief shock, he quickly controlled his mood and expression and no longer showed any strange look.

After eating and drinking, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan followed Mu Hanzhi to the flower hall.

Mu Hanzhi asked someone to serve hot tea, snacks and fruits. After the maids left, Bai Jingzhou went straight to the point and told Mu Hanzhi the purpose of his and Gu Wenxuan's trip.

"Brother Mu, we want to buy 300 kilograms of cotton seeds and 500 kilograms of lotus seeds. Do you have any connections?"

Although they made a lot of money from the wine sales, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan had many other places to spend money. Due to their financial constraints, they could only buy so many lotus root seeds and cotton seeds first.

Mu Hanzhi was surprised, "Xingzhou can also grow cotton and lotus roots?"

Bai Jingzhou didn't say anything final, "We want to try planting it."

Mu Hanzhi raised his eyebrows. Although Bai Jingzhou did not answer his question directly, Bai Jingzhou's tone and expression were so calm that Mu Hanzhi always felt that he seemed very confident.

He really wanted to ask Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan who they learned how to grow cotton and lotus roots from. Given their backgrounds and ages, Mu Hanzhi felt that they should not have even heard of these two things, let alone tried to grow them in Xingzhou, unless they had some adventure.

He was still thinking about the wording when Bai Jingzhou added, "Although we have never seen these two things before, our two masters are knowledgeable and experienced. With their careful teaching, I believe we still have a good chance of growing them."

Mu Hanzhi raised his eyebrows. He had heard before that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou each had a mysterious master. Now it seemed that their two masters were quite capable and knowledgeable.

He said, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Bai Jingzhou looked at Gu Wenxuan, and Gu Wenxuan understood and pushed the big box she had brought in front of Mu Hanzhi.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Mu." Bai Jingzhou opened the box and showed Mu Hanzhi the neatly stacked silver ingots inside. "There are five hundred taels of silver in it. I don't know if it's enough. If not, we can make up the difference with the remaining amount when the seeds arrive. Brother Mu, do you think this is okay?"

The box and the silver inside it previously belonged to Mu Hanzhi. It was the payment he made to Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan for the wine.

Before, Gu Wenxuan carried a big box and walked in easily with Bai Jingzhou. Mu Hanzhi thought that it contained some light mountain products, but unexpectedly, the other party brought back a box of silver ingots for him.

Glancing at the box of silver ingots, Mu Hanzhi sighed in his heart at Gu Wenxuan's great strength, and waved at Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan with a smile, "Rather than taking money, I would rather barter with you directly."

Bai Jingzhou was puzzled, "How to barter?"

Mu Hanzhi said tentatively: "I can give you two cotton seeds, lotus seeds, and even suitable fields and ponds for free. I only ask that if you can really grow them, you can copy down the planting method and give it to me."

Bai Jingzhou said nothing.

Mu Hanzhi added hurriedly, "Of course, I can't take your things for free. If you want anything, just tell me when the time comes."

"Although my Mu family is just a merchant family, we also have some businesses in Xingzhou Prefecture. Whether you want a mansion, a shop, a mountain, or a farm, I can give you something that will satisfy you."

At present, cotton is imported from the southern barbarians (Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hainan) and the western regions (Xinjiang). The price is shockingly high. If they can also grow it here...

Whenever Mu Hanzhi thought about it, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

He looked at Bai Jingzhou steadily, waiting for him to make a decision.

Bai Jingzhou was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Brother Mu, if you don't have enough power and status to support it, this hen that lays golden eggs will probably bring disaster to your family instead of blessing, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hanzhi's eyes widened slightly.
