The two of them chatted on and off.
Wan Xiu 'er was a meticulous person. She quickly learned about Feng Zhen's basic situation from their conversation.
He was a widower with a son.
His eyes lit up when he talked about his son. He said he didn't like him, but he couldn't hide his pride.
Wan Xiu 'er looked calm on the surface, but she found it funny.
She thought that someone who could work for the female lord must be cunning and cunning. She didn't expect Feng Zhen to be so innocent.
Well, he was much cuter than those hypocritical and pretentious men.
To prevent all the seedlings from dying, Wan Xiu 'er moved two more seedlings and took good care of them. They should survive.
Seeing that she was done, Feng Zhen got up and sent her back to the temporary tent of the women's camp.
Wan Xiu 'er lit an oil lamp and found the dried panzhihua flowers she had dried last year. She made a few pillows overnight and stuffed the dried flowers into them.
Thin, narrow, and tall wooden pillows were popular. The higher one's status, the better the wooden pillow.
Wooden pillows were too tall, which caused many people to suffer from stiff pillows. Wan Xiu 'er's mother was the same.
Her mother dried the fallen panzhihua flowers, picked the softest and thinnest ones, and stuffed them into the pillows as fillers.
Wan Xiu 'er didn't like wooden pillows. Her husband hadn't slept in her room for years, so she changed her pillow.
As long as she was comfortable!
Wan Xiu 'er asked the female soldier to send a few pillows out that night, so as not to attract gossip.
Jiang Pengji benefited from this. She hugged the soft pillow and sniffed it. It had a slight fragrance.
"What's in it? It smells good … "
Jiang Pengji was having her meal when she received it. Feng Zhen had been forced to work overtime.
She watched him work to see if he had the time to flirt with girls!
Feng Zhen saw the things in Jiang Pengji's arms and remembered what Wan Xiu 'er had said yesterday. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
If nothing went wrong, he would see the same gift when he returned to the tent after finishing his task.
Thinking about this, he felt that it was a pity.
Alas, the one and only gift was shared and enjoyed by others. It was others who benefited from him, but it seemed like he benefited from the lord.
In the name of thanking Jiang Pengji, Wan Xiu 'er gave Jiang Pengji and the strategists and generals whom Jiang Pengji valued highly.
"It should be Panzhihua," Feng Zhen replied.
"Panzhihua? Using dried flowers as the pillow core, she's really thoughtful. "
Jiang Pengji didn't know what it was, but she thought the name sounded nice.
Pinching the soft pillow, Jiang Pengji planned to try it at night.
"Xiu 'er is really clever. This pillow can be changed." Jiang Pengji noticed that there was a rope on one side of the pillow. She pulled it open and realized that the two sides were not sewn together with a needle and thread. Instead, they were tied tightly with a long rope, but there were no gaps.
Jiang Pengji untied the rope and took out the thing inside.
She lowered her head and did not notice the huge change in the bullet screen in the live streaming room.
Zhuiwanyan: "You scared me to death. When I first heard of Panzhihua, I thought a city was stuffed into my pillow."
I Am Susu: "How embarrassing. I misunderstood too."
[Junpo]: "Qiaodou Sack — I remember Panzhihua is another name for the ancient kapok tree, right?"
Kapok tree!!!
Most of the audience was still confused, wondering what kind of flower Panzhihua was, but some of them had already figured it out.
This thing is a kapok tree!
I Don't Like to Eat Apple: "I've seen it before. I remember that kapok was an ornamental plant in ancient times. It was only later processed and used."
Glutinous Rice Ball Soldier: "Wow — does this mean that the streamer can grow cotton now?"
The productivity of ancient society was low, and the people had to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation for their entire lives.
In terms of food, Jiang Pengji had already started researching sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two things had a large yield and could feed many people. If she used high-yield cotton to solve the problem of clothing, when Jiang Pengji conquered the whole world, the prosperous dynasty would be just around the corner!
The audience was excited, but there were also some top students who poured cold water on them.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Cotton is the seed fiber of cotton plants in the mallow family. The cotton we often talk about should be fine-wool cotton. It has high yield and good fiber quality. The kapok tree belongs to the kapok family. Its stamens can be used as raw material for fabrics. The kapok tree itself can also be used to make paper. Although the cotton wool of kapok can also be made into cotton-padded clothes, in terms of garment making and production, it is definitely not as good as the cotton we are familiar with.
The flowers of the kapok tree are not equivalent to cotton! "
With the old driver's explanation, the enthusiasm of the audience was greatly dampened.
However, when Jiang Pengji took out the stuffing inside, their enthusiasm soared again.
There was kapok cotton wool in it, but there was also white cotton!
Jiang Pengji picked up a ball and squeezed it. It felt good.
In her era, real pure cotton clothes could only be worn by the rich.
However, pure cotton clothes had all kinds of problems. As a soldier, Jiang Pengji could only wear it once or twice when she was on vacation. Normally, she wore the special military uniform. The military uniform was made from a certain extremely tough plant fiber in the galaxy. It was more comfortable to the touch than cotton, but it was difficult for a normal knife to cut it.
Therefore, she did not know what cotton was called in ancient times, but she knew what this ball of stuff was used for.
In her excitement, Jiang Pengji smashed the table in front of her.
The sudden loud noise scared Feng Zhen so much that he could not even hold the brush steadily. He actually drew a long line of ink on the rice paper.
What was she doing?
Feng Zhen raised his head to look at his lord.
Selfishly, he thought that the utensils his lord used should be made of copper or iron. Otherwise, changing them every few days was too wasteful.
"My lord?" Feng Zhen asked weakly.
Jiang Pengji suddenly stood up and said, "You continue, I'll leave first." She patted her butt and left without a word.
Feng Zhen: "…"
Now that his lord was not around, could he sneak around and do something?
Wan Xiu 'er was sorting out the things that Feng Zhen had sent. She definitely could not go with the army. The biggest possibility was that Jiang Pengji would send her to her territory. With this thought in mind, Wan Xiu 'er began to pack her luggage so that she would not be flustered when the time came.
Hearing movement outside, Wan Xiu 'er stretched her neck in surprise.
Seeing that it was Jiang Pengji, she stood up and bowed.
"No need to be so polite." Jiang Pengji released her palm and asked directly, "Where did you get this thing?"
Wan Xiu 'er was shocked. She thought that there was something wrong with the ball of cotton wool. Her originally pale face became even paler.
Could it be that someone had done something to the cotton wool? Someone had used her to frame Liu Xi?
For a moment, all kinds of conspiracy theories and shady plots flashed through her mind.
After a while, she said hesitantly, "This … this is the tree that I planted in the courtyard … Is there anything wrong with it?"
Could it be that something had really happened?
Jiang Pengji excitedly grabbed Wan Xiu 'er's delicate hand.
She asked excitedly, "How many more? Where are the trees? "
Wan Xiu 'er was confused, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from Jiang Pengji's expression, it shouldn't be anything bad. She could rest assured.
"There are three of these trees in the courtyard. There are also seven normal pangzhi flowers …" Wan Xiu 'er did not know the name of the tree that grew the cotton wool, but it was mixed with the pangzhi flowers as part of the dowry. It should also be a type of pangzhi flower. At most, it looked a little strange.
