Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 190 Tung oil is tung oil, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it's still tung oil.

Back in the courtyard,

Lin Qingshan said with a smile:

"My dear,

Don't put too much pressure on yourself when it comes to planting.

Look how much the villagers trust you.

Our whole family is behind you, supporting you.

Now your second brother's house is finished too.

From now on, your father and second brother will have less to do.

What do you need to do?

Just tell Dad and your second brother, and we'll do it for you.

Lu Qingqing listened to Lin Qingshan's words,

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

She replied with a smile:

"Father, with your and my second brother's help..."

I felt more at ease.

However, there are too many things to worry about when cultivating Purple Spirit Ginseng.

I'm afraid of tiring you all out.

Lin Qingshan waved his hand and laughed heartily:

"Silly girl, what are you saying!"

We are a family, and a family should work together.

You've been busy with village affairs,

It's only right that we lend a hand.

You can arrange it as you like.

We promise to get this done for you.

Seeing how much her family cared about her, Lu Qingqing

My heart is filled with countless emotions.

she knows,

He carries on his shoulders not only the hopes of his fellow villagers for prosperity,

It is also the bright future of my family.

Lu Qingqing glanced at the children playing in the yard.

Then he said with a smile.

"Father, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, please come inside with me."

Let me show you what the Purple Spirit Ginseng looks like.

Hearing Lu Qingqing's words,

Lin Qingshan, Lin Erzhu, and Wang Xiuxiu's faces immediately lit up with joy.

He immediately followed Lu Qingqing into the house, all excited and eager.

Because they were really curious.

I'm also particularly curious to know,

This single purple ginseng can sell for thirty taels of silver.

What does it actually look like?

After Lu Qingqing pretended to enter the house,

He immediately took out the Purple Spirit Ginseng from his spatial storage.

The purple ginseng, still as fresh as ever, was covered in soil.

It looked like it had just been dug out of the ground.

Lu Qingqing nodded in satisfaction.

He carried out the few purple ginseng plants covered in soil.

"Father, Second Brother, Sister-in-law"

This is the Purple Spirit Ginseng, take a look.

Lin Qingshan, Lin Erzhu, and Wang Xiuxiu's attention was immediately drawn to it.

His eyes were filled with shock and wonder.

Lin Qingshan extended his hand.

Gently touch one of the purple ginseng plants,

Move very carefully.

As if afraid of damaging this precious treasure,

"This is the Purple Spirit Ginseng, which is worth thirty taels of silver per plant."

It certainly looks different from other things.

The purple markings look like they were naturally sculpted on.

Good heavens!

"How come this little thing is so valuable?"

Lin Erzhu's eyes widened as well.

He leaned closer to examine it carefully.

"Qingqing, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this."

These few plants of yours, wouldn't they sell for over a hundred taels of silver?

Wang Xiuxiu also came over and joked:

"Honey, you're really shameless!"

I think you're practically obsessed with money.

You should help Qingqing think about it.

How can I grow this little thing properly?

Lin Erzhu chuckled, scratched his head,

"My wife is right. I got a little excited."

All they were thinking about was selling the silver.

Qingqing, how do I take care of this thing?

Your second brother will definitely do everything he can to help you.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile,

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Soil cultivation is relatively straightforward at present.

It's convenient for us to be near the mountains.

You can try cultivating the soil yourself.

However, this Purple Spirit Ginseng is susceptible to cold.

The temperature must be well controlled.

Now that's where the problem lies.

If you want to control the temperature well,

A greenhouse must be built.

Use a tarpaulin that is both windproof and waterproof to cover and control the temperature.

I've already spoken to Uncle Lin Feng.

Ask him to help me find out about the oilcloth.

If we could buy oilcloth, it would make things much easier.

Lin Erzhu asked in confusion:

"Qingqing, what is oilcloth?"

This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

Lu Qingqing patiently explained:

"Second brother,"

Oilcloth is a type of specially treated fabric.

It is both waterproof and windproof.

It's perfect for building greenhouses for purple ginseng.

If only we could cover the entire planting area with tarpaulin.

This will create a relatively stable temperature and humidity environment for the purple ginseng.

Purple ginseng is sensitive to cold, so this method will help it grow well.

Lin Erzhu suddenly realized,

"Oh, I see. That sounds pretty amazing."

I just don't know if this oilcloth is easy to buy.

After all, I'd never even heard of such a thing before.

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly.

A hint of worry was revealed in his expression.

"Second brother, I'm not quite sure either."

That's why I asked the village chief to help me find out.

If we could buy this oilcloth...

That would be ideal, as it would save a lot of trouble.

But if you can't buy it,

We'll have to do it ourselves.

Lin Qingshan stroked his beard.

"Qingqing, what was your conversation with the village chief just now?"

I overheard the gist of it as well.

I'm just worried that we might not be able to buy oilcloth.

I think we should prepare for both possibilities in advance.

Everyone was happy if they managed to buy oilcloth.

If we couldn't buy it, we wouldn't be in such a bind, would we?

Qingqing, talk to your father about it.

What are the specific requirements for your tarpaulin?

"Let's see if Dad can help."

Lu Qingqing nodded, looking at Lin Qingshan gratefully.

"Father, you've thought of everything perfectly."

The tarpaulin must first and foremost be waterproof.

Purple ginseng is susceptible to both cold and waterlogging during its growth.

If rainwater seeps into the greenhouse, that would be a real problem.

Moreover, it must have a certain degree of flexibility.

It needs to be easy to set up; otherwise, if the tarpaulin is too stiff...

It is difficult to make arrangements based on the terrain and the shape of the planting area.

In addition, it would be best if it also had some light transmission.

This allows the purple ginseng to receive suitable sunlight.

Only then can it grow normally.

Lin Qingshan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Waterproof, flexible, and also allows light to pass through"

That's quite a high bar.

It seems that whether you buy it or make it yourself,

Neither of them is easy.

Then, Lin Qingshan was startled again.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"But Qingqing, I have to give it a try."

I refuse to believe it.

"We can't believe we've been stumped by this thing called oilcloth."

Lu Qingqing looked at the determination in Lin Qingshan's eyes,

My heart is filled with emotion.

"Father, but making oilcloth is no easy task."

Will this work?

Lin Qingshan waved his hand.

"Qingqing, don't worry."

Although Dad is getting on in years, he is still in good health.

I also have so many years of life experience.

Let's not rush, let's take it one step at a time.

"If you keep trying, you'll always find a way."

Lu Qingqing suddenly thought of something.

He hurriedly ran into the house.

When they came out,

Then they saw the surprised and bewildered faces of Lin Qingshan and the other two.

She then realized,

It just occurred to me that System Bean must know how oilcloth was made in ancient times.

In a moment of panic, he ran back to his room without saying a word.

The three of them were left there completely baffled.

Adhering to,

(As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.)

"That's my idea," Lu Qingqing said seriously.

"Father, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law,"

I've got an idea!

"Tung oil, we can try using tung oil."

Lin Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

A hint of joy then appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, Qingqing, how could your father not have thought of that?"

Tung oil has waterproofing properties.

Lin Erzhu asked skeptically,

"Father, will this work?"

How can tung oil be turned into cloth? That's impossible!

As soon as Lin Erzhu finished speaking,

He got a big slap on the head.

Lin Qingshan scolded in an annoyed tone:

"You silly boy, you're really dreaming!"

He doesn't use his brain at all; he just talks nonsense all day long.

Tung oil is tung oil.

Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it would still be tung oil.

This thing is dead, but people are alive, aren't they?

"Can't we at least coat the cloth with tung oil and use it as oilcloth?"
