00:30Give me one! I want one too! Give me one!
00:36This outfit is really nice.
00:40Yes, that's really good.
00:43Little one, I am the owner of Xuji Cloth Shop.
00:49Did you make this cotton-padded coat?
00:52Yes, the cotton was grown by ourselves.
00:55My mother made all the cotton-padded jackets herself.
00:58This cotton-padded coat looks quite thick, but it doesn't feel stiff at all; in fact, it's very soft.
01:03It's even better than the padded jacket I wear without it.
01:06Little one, can you tell me how you did that?
01:10Master Xu
01:11The main reason these cotton-padded jackets are so soft is the cotton filling in the lining.
01:23What is this?
01:28It looks like willow catkins, but feels much finer and smoother than willow catkins or hemp fibers. I've never actually seen it before.
01:35I've seen
01:36This is called cotton. It comes from the Western Regions. Clothes made from it are both soft and warm.
01:43Cold resistance
01:44How many of these cotton-padded coats are left? I want them all.
01:46I want them all
01:48These are the two items.
01:49These are the two items.
01:53This little kid, would you be willing to cooperate with me?
01:56I need two hundred of these cotton-padded coats a month.
02:00You'll get two taels of silver for each item.
02:03What do you think?
02:03We definitely couldn't make that many by ourselves if we made two hundred pieces.
02:07Uncle, how about you let me think about it? I'll give you an answer in two days.
02:13I'll wait for your reply at the shop. See you in two days.
02:20goodbye
02:21Collect all the cotton-padded coats you have today and bring them home.
02:37My parents earned a total of twenty taels from selling cotton-padded coats today.
02:41Not bad, not bad! Our little one is very capable!
02:43I'll make a few more cotton-padded jackets tonight.
02:45If you take it to the market to sell tomorrow morning, you'll definitely earn more.
02:50Mom and Dad, today Mr. Xu from Xu Ji Cloth Shop wants to cooperate with us.
02:54Ordering 200 cotton-padded coats every month
02:57Each cotton-padded jacket is priced at two taels of silver.
03:00Really? That's a good thing!
03:02Someone is willing to buy cotton-padded coats from us regularly.
03:05We won't need to set up stalls at the market anymore.
03:07But we can't even finish 200 pieces a month.
03:12yes
03:13Yes, Father and Mother
03:15I plan to share the cotton-padded jacket business with the aunties in the village.
03:20In this way, every household can make money.
03:22No need to worry about not being able to eat well in this famine year.
03:25Xiao Bao's idea is great!
03:26This way, we can not only make money, but also lead the whole village to make money together.
03:30Xiao Bao has really grown up; he's capable and responsible.
03:34A good example of great love
03:36Tomorrow I'll go to the village chief and ask him to gather everyone at the village entrance.
03:40We are announcing this happy news to everyone.
03:43OK
03:48Is the village chief home?
03:51Chen Wang, what's up?
03:53Village chief, did you hear about the cotton we planted in my field a while ago?
03:58I heard about it.
04:00This is the twenty taels of silver Xiaobao earned yesterday from going to the market to buy cotton-padded jackets.
04:05silver
04:05Chen Wang, your cotton treasures have made so much money!
04:10Yes, yes, Grandpa Village Chief can not only earn money, but also exchange it for food.
04:16Village Chief, I came to see you today because I want to encourage everyone in the village to grow cotton.
04:21make money
04:22Village chief, look at the land in our village now, it's so dry you can't grow any crops.
04:28This cotton is drought-resistant and grows quickly, so it's perfect for planting!
04:32Cotton seeds are a rare commodity; most people don't have them.
04:37Grandpa Village Chief, we're providing cotton seeds to everyone free of charge.
04:41I can teach you how to plant and harvest, and how to make [the product].
04:45The village chief, feeling dizzy, said that after the cotton was planted, the village aunties could make it...
04:50Make into cotton-padded jackets
04:51Our family buys cotton-padded coats every month, and we give each one to our aunties.
04:55Purchase at one tael of silver
04:56We will definitely not let everyone down.
04:57This is indeed a good way to make money. How about this, I'll gather the villagers in the village...
05:03Mouth collection
05:04You should personally explain it to them.
05:05Okay, thank you, village chief.
05:11Gentlemen, young and old, gather at the village entrance! I have a way to get you all a meal and earn some money.
05:17Money
05:17You little brat, don't try to fool me.
05:20In this famine year, what way is there to make money?
05:22I sold cotton-padded coats yesterday and made a whole twenty taels of silver.
05:25Two taels of silver.
05:27There are ways to make money with silence.
05:29Yeah, what method?
05:31If we don't earn some money soon, we won't even have rice to cook.
05:33Dear fellow villagers, the reason I've gathered you all here today is to tell you about a way to make money.
05:38Make sure that everyone in the village, young and old, has enough to eat.
05:40Silence. What method are you talking about?
05:42Yesterday, Xiao Bao earned twenty taels of silver at the market by wearing a cotton-padded jacket.
05:47Twenty taels
05:48Twenty taels of silver—that's a farmer's entire year's harvest!
05:51Chen Xiaoben earned this much in just one afternoon
05:54Dear fellow villagers, Xiao Bao has found a market for his cotton-padded coats.
05:57The owner of Xuji Cloth Shop buys two hundred cotton-padded coats every month.
06:01Is anyone willing to make money with me?
06:03I will buy each cotton-padded coat for one tael of silver.
06:06One tael of silver per piece
06:07I do
06:08I also do
06:09I also do
06:11Even if we wanted to, we wouldn't have any cotton.
06:13How to make a cotton-padded coat without cotton?
06:15obvious
06:15avoid
06:18Thank you for watching
