Chapter 213 My sister has such a far-sighted vision and courage.
"Uncle Lin Feng, not only that..."
I have even better news to tell you.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile,
His eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Lin Feng curiously leaned closer.
"Qingqing, what's the good news?"
You should tell your uncle.
I love hearing good news from you now.
"My sister, what new way to get rich has you come up with now?"
"Brother, can you listen to it with me?"
Lu Qingqing hadn't finished speaking when
Then I heard the voice of the county magistrate, my elder brother.
Lu Qingqing turned her head.
To my surprise, I saw my elder brother, Li Xiuming, standing smiling at the gate of the courtyard.
She hurried to meet her.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Why didn't they send someone to inform us before they came?
When Lin Feng saw that it was the county magistrate,
He immediately bowed to Magistrate Li Xiuming.
He respectfully cupped his hands and said:
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the County Magistrate"
I was unaware that you, sir, had come today.
I am truly sorry for not greeting you sooner; please forgive me, sir.
Li Xiuming quickly reached out to help Lin Feng up.
He said with a smile:
"Lin Lizheng, there's no need for such formalities."
I am visiting my sister today as her older brother.
I also wanted to find out about the progress of these income-generating projects in the village.
We don't need to be bound by these bureaucratic formalities.
Raymond Lam straightened up and responded with a smile:
"You are so approachable, sir."
Then the man didn't stand on ceremony.
"Please have a seat, sir."
As he spoke,
He then warmly invited Li Xiuming to sit down quickly.
Qingqing, I heard Xuan'er say a few days ago that...
You are researching the cultivation of Purple Spirit Ginseng.
I need that kind of oilcloth.
But I sent people all over Tongzhou and our town,
I couldn't find out a single clue for you.
I came here today,
I just want to hear what's really going on with that Purple Spirit Ginseng.
I also brought you some silver.
As Li Xiuming spoke,
He then took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them over.
Lu Qingqing was deeply moved as she looked at the stack of silver notes on the table.
"Thank you, brother."
The story begins with my trip to Lijia Village to teach medical principles.
Lu Qingqing spoke slowly,
With a focused expression, he recounted the whole story to Li Xiuming.
"At that time, I went to Lijia Village to teach with Uncle Lin Feng and others."
Then they discovered the Purple Spirit Ginseng on the mountain next to their village.
One of these Purple Spirit Ginseng plants can sell for thirty taels of silver.
I was thinking,
If we could organize people from both villages to cultivate Ziling ginseng together...
Then everyone's lives will become prosperous.
Lu Qingqing's eyes sparkled as she continued her story to Li Xiuming.
"After discovering the Purple Spirit Ginseng"
I discussed it with Uncle Lin Feng, Village Chief Li, and I.
Everyone felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Therefore,
Now everyone agrees on and supports the cultivation of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*.
Li Xiuming listened to Lu Qingqing's explanation,
I roughly understood what was going on.
He said happily,
"Little sister, this is great news!"
This is a great thing that will improve people's lives.
Your elder brother also supports you in doing this.
If you need any help,
You must tell your older brother.
Lu Qingqing looked at Li Xiuming gratefully and said:
"Thank you, brother, for your kind words."
I feel much more at ease now.
"Qingqing, what's the deal with that oilcloth?"
I'd never heard of it before.
Xuan'er told me about it when she got back.
I just learned about oilcloth.
Li Xiuming asked with a curious expression.
Lu Qingqing explained with a smile:
"Brother,"
It is not easy to cultivate this purple ginseng artificially.
It is extremely picky about its growing environment.
Temperature is a key challenge.
So, I'm thinking of building a greenhouse for the purple ginseng.
This is used to control the planting temperature.
However, setting up a greenhouse requires the use of tarpaulin.
Not only must it have good waterproof properties,
It also needs to allow light to pass through.
Li Xiuming frowned slightly.
He carefully considered what Lu Qingqing had said.
"To make it both waterproof and light-transmitting—that's easier said than done."
No wonder, I asked around everywhere.
Nobody knows anything about the tarpaulin.
Li Xiuming carefully considered what Lu Qingqing had said.
"To make it both waterproof and light-transmitting—that's easier said than done."
No wonder, I asked around everywhere.
Nobody knows anything about the tarpaulin.
Lu Qingqing smiled gently.
His eyes revealed resilience and wisdom.
"Brother, it really hasn't been easy."
But brother, don't worry.
My dad and I have already finished it.
Li Xiuming was greatly surprised.
All eyes immediately focused on Lu Qingqing.
His eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
As Lu Qingqing finished speaking,
He then picked up the raincoat next to him and showed it to Li Xiuming.
"Brother, this is the oilcloth."
Yesterday afternoon, I used it to make several raincoats.
The test has been conducted, and the waterproof effect is exceptionally good.
Li Xiuming took the raincoat and examined it carefully.
The raincoat was made of a lightweight material.
The oilcloth on the surface had a faint sheen.
The tentacles, however, are very tough.
He gently touched every part of the raincoat.
Feel the unique texture of the oilcloth.
"Qingqing, this is the oilcloth."
Is it really waterproof?
Li Xiuming asked, puzzled.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
"Brother, Uncle Lin Feng"
I'll show you how it works right now.
Having said that, she quickly walked to the water vat beside her.
He picked up a ladle and scooped up a full ladle of water.
She returned to Li Xiuming and Lin Feng.
Spread the oilcloth out flat.
He then poured the water from the ladle onto the tarpaulin.
The water was like beads.
Roll it quickly on the surface of the oilcloth.
Lu Qingqing carefully wrapped the water bottle and lifted it up.
The raincoat completely contained the water.
Not a single drop of water leaked out.
Sunlight shone on the surface of the raincoat.
Water droplets refracted a sparkling light.
This demonstrates the waterproof properties of the tarpaulin to the fullest extent.
"See, brother, Uncle Lin Feng?"
Lu Qingqing's eyes crinkled with pride.
"This raincoat is made of oilcloth."
The waterproof effect is absolutely superb.
Lin Feng's eyes widened in amazement.
"My goodness, this is truly amazing!"
With this thing, going out to work on rainy days will be much easier.
No more getting soaked to the bone!
Li Xiuming couldn't help but show his admiration.
"Sister, your ingenuity is truly admirable."
In this way, the oilcloth has a wide range of uses.
Besides raincoats
Like my sister mentioned before, the greenhouses for growing purple ginseng provide shelter from the rain.
Also, it's used to cover grain and firewood.
They can all be used.
Lu Qingqing nodded.
"Yes, brother, it has many uses."
Lu Qingqing emptied the water from her raincoat.
Show the raincoat to Li Xiuming.
"Brother, this is a raincoat I made."
Wear it when it rains
It's lightweight and waterproof, much more convenient than a straw raincoat.
Li Xiuming took the raincoat and examined it repeatedly.
And this raincoat even has a hood.
In other words, you should wear it when it rains from now on.
Even my hair won't get wet from the rain.
Compared to the bulky raincoat,
This raincoat is indeed much lighter.
He carefully examined the cut and seams of the raincoat.
The workmanship is also very fine; you can tell.
She had put a lot of effort into caring for her younger sister.
Lu Qingqing looked at Li Xiuming with a firm gaze and said:
"Brother, I have an idea."
They want to build a factory in our village.
They specialize in making tarpaulins and raincoats in their factory.
Then they are sold.
The villagers usually have meager incomes.
If this oilcloth raincoat can be mass-produced and successfully launched into the market...
This will not only allow us to fully utilize our unique products,
It can also provide job opportunities for villagers.
Increase their silver income,
This is undoubtedly a good way to boost the village's economic development.
Li Xiuming listened to Lu Qingqing's explanation,
His eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
He couldn't help but look at this younger sister with new respect.
He really didn't expect it.
My sister has such a long-term vision and courage.
