(The previous part has been modified. There is no cotton in the Great Tang.)）
However, there would be a huge difficulty if he wanted to get a cotton coat. That was, the origin of cotton was Mexico and other places in America.
It was only introduced to our country in the 19th century.
In other words, cotton did not exist in the Great Tang a thousand years ago, let alone cotton-padded clothes.
Zhangsun Yu felt a headache coming on. Was he supposed to use the super genetic system to grow cotton? But this was too difficult! Who knew how many plants he had to fuse with to create something similar to cotton!
However, sometimes, surprises came quickly.
A few days later, Sun Chong arrived at Chen Family Village.
"Hahaha, Brother Chong, you actually came so quickly. How was the result of the exam?"
Zhangsun Yu personally welcomed Sun Chong at the village entrance and smiled at him.
Sun Chong shook his head helplessly.
"Not good. When I got home, I was almost beaten to death by my father.”
Zhangsun Yu smiled and warmly invited Sun Chong back to his home.
Standing at the door, Sun Chong frowned as he looked at the dilapidated courtyard and thatched cottage.
"Xiao Yu, why don't you move to Chang 'an? Although your Brother Sun isn't a wealthy person, I can still give you a house. It'll definitely be more comfortable than this place.”
It seemed like Sun Chong's heart ached for Zhangsun Yu, but Zhangsun Yu's entire body trembled.
"Brother Chong, don't be so nice to me. Otherwise, I'll really suspect that you're a good person.”
With a joke, he immediately brushed this matter aside.
Zhangsun Yu said seriously.
"I like Chen Family Village very much. After all, I grew up here since I was young. Moreover, there are memories of my mother everywhere here.”
Zhangsun Yu said in a low voice. He must have thought of the time he spent with his mother.
"Um, Xiao Yu, can I go pay my respects to auntie?”
Sun Chong said.
Zhangsun Yu nodded.
"Mother's grave is in a valley deep in the Hidden Dragon Mountain. It's not easy to walk if it's too far. However, there was a memorial tablet of his mother in the house, so he could pay his respects here.”
With that, Zhangsun Yu brought Sun Chong into the house.
"That's my mother's memorial tablet.”
As Zhangsun Yu spoke, he walked forward and lit up an incense stick. Then, he bowed three times to the memorial tablet and gently inserted it into the incense burner.
Sun Chong also walked forward and lit up a piece of agarwood before walking to the memorial tablet.
"Hmm?"
However, when he saw the name on the memorial tablet, he was stunned.
"Mother, the spirit of Zhangsun Xiu 'er!"
This was the name on the memorial tablet.
"Zhangsun Xiu 'er? Why did this name sound so familiar? I think I've heard it somewhere before."
He knew that Zhangsun Yu took his mother's surname, and he had asked Zhangsun Yu what his father's surname was. However, Zhangsun Yu only said that he did not have a father.
Although this name sounded familiar, Sun Chong couldn't recall it for a while. Therefore, he didn't care. He just bowed respectfully to the memorial tablet three times and then lit the agarwood.
After paying their respects, Zhangsun Yu brought Sun Chong to the stone table in the courtyard. Meanwhile, Sun Chong's guards were standing outside the courtyard, ready to fight.
"Oh right, Brother Chong, there's something I need your help with.”
Zhangsun Yu said.
Sun Chong asked curiously.
"What is it?"
Immediately, Zhangsun Yu took out a piece of animal skin from his bosom. On it was a drawing of cotton. It wasn't that Zhangsun Yu didn't want to use paper, but paper was too expensive in this era!
And it was relatively rare. Basically, only the families of high officials and nobles would use it.
"I would like to ask Big Brother Chong to go back and ask around. I want to see if any of the merchants from the outer realms have seen this plant before, or if they can find it.”
"If you can help me get a few of these plants, I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Zhangsun Yu said. The Great Tang had always advocated foreign trade. As a result, many foreign merchants from overseas and the continent would come to the Great Tang.
Perhaps there would be a chance to find cotton.
As long as he could obtain a stalk of cotton, Zhangsun Yu would be able to use the super genetic system to reproduce in a short period of time.
Sun Chong nodded and agreed to this matter seriously. This was the first time Zhangsun Yu had made a request to him since the two of them had gotten to know each other. Naturally, he would do his best.
"Right, Xiao Yu, when I entered the village just now, I saw that there were actually dense rice seedlings growing in the fields of your village.”
"However, the rice grains in other places have already formed ears! It would probably be a bumper harvest in a month or two. Aren't you guys a little too late?"
Zhangsun Yu was silent for a moment, but in the end, he did not hide anything. This matter could not be hidden. After all, the two hundred mu of land was there.
Perhaps telling Sun Chong was a good choice. Zhangsun Yu felt that Sun Chong's background was extraordinary. If he could get his protection, he would be able to save a lot of trouble.
Although Zhangsun Yu wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to get involved either.
