Chapter 211 You need to help your sister out with this.
"My love, my love!"
Lin Erzhu shouted happily as he walked under the eaves.
"Second Brother, what brings you here?"
Lu Qingqing asked with a smile.
"Qingqing, the raincoat you made is really nice."
I want one too.
Could you make a raincoat like this for my second brother too?
Lin Erzhu looked at Lu Qingqing with anticipation.
He even shook out the raincoat he had just taken off.
Lu Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Second brother, I knew you would like it too."
"Look, Chunlan is almost finished."
As he spoke,
She gestured towards Chunlan, who was sewing diligently to the side.
Lu Qingqing had just finished making the raincoat.
Looking at the oilcloth still left in his hand,
So they cut another one.
Chunlan wants to learn.
So Lu Qingqing entrusted Chunlan to sew it.
This is not,
Lin Erzhu arrived before the raincoat was even finished being sewn.
Lin Erzhu looked in the direction she indicated.
On the table in front of Chunlan,
The raincoat has been cut, and Chunlan is sewing it.
It looks like it's almost finished.
He said with delight:
"Oh my, Chunlan is so quick and efficient!"
My love,
"So, will I be able to use this raincoat soon?"
Lu Qingqing nodded and smiled:
Yes, Second Brother,
Once Chunlan finishes sewing the raincoat, it will be finished.
Lin Erzhu rubbed his hands together.
Excitedly staring at the nearly finished raincoat,
"Qingqing, I just ran around in them."
This raincoat is not only lightweight to wear, but also...
The rain protection is okay.
It's much lighter than a straw raincoat.
Now that we have these raincoats,
No more worrying about rainy days!
And you know what? This tung oil cloth really does have a waterproof effect.
Lin Erzhu spoke with great enthusiasm,
He was gesturing as if he had just been running in the rain.
Lu Qingqing smiled radiantly.
"As long as Second Brother is happy."
But speaking of this tung oil cloth...
Actually, it has many uses.
Besides making raincoats and umbrellas,
We can also use it to cover up clutter in the house.
It can prevent moisture.
If cut properly, it can even be made into a simple tent.
When you're out and about and it rains,
There's also a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Lin Erzhu's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise.
"Qingqing, you're really amazing, you even thought of that."
It seems this tung oil cloth is truly a treasure.
I never realized it had so many uses before.
Chunlan also praised from the side:
"Miss is exceptionally intelligent."
They always come up with these novel and practical ideas.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile,
"Moreover, the function of oilcloth is versatile."
There are many more things we can't even imagine.
But second brother, no matter what...
Our tung oil cloth is more than halfway to success.
"Once the purple ginseng sprouts, we'll be very busy."
"Moreover, the function of oilcloth is versatile."
There are many things we can't even imagine.
"What? It can do other things too?"
That oilcloth is truly remarkable!
Qingqing, if you were to sell this raincoat...
It will definitely be completely sold out.
Lin Erzhu joked,
His eyes were full of admiration and expectation for Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing smiled, pursing her lips.
"Second brother, we're thinking the same thing now."
I also happened to have the same idea.
Once our tung oil cloth experiment is successful...
We need to do more.
We'll make some raincoats first and try selling them.
If sales are good
I'd like to open a factory making oilcloth in our village sometime.
They specialize in producing tarpaulins and raincoats.
Then we'll ask the villagers for help.
To give the villagers something to do.
We put the tarpaulin and raincoats,
Sell it elsewhere.
This way, we can not only make money ourselves.
It can also boost the village's economy.
What do you think of this idea?
Lin Erzhu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Qingqing, your idea is fantastic!"
If this idea works,
That would truly be a blessing for our entire village!
"So, second brother, let's wait until the weather clears up."
"Then we'll have to get busy again."
Lu Qingqing looked up at the gloomy sky.
Raindrops fell from the eaves, forming curtains of water.
Lin Erzhu followed her gaze and nodded.
"Qingqing, it's good to be busy, it's a good thing."
That's why I say you're the smartest.
You always come up with so many great ideas.
do not worry,
Once the weather clears up, I'll hurry and collect more tung oil.
Prepare enough fabric.
If this tung oil cloth were produced in large quantities...
Make sure all the materials are prepared.
Lin Erzhu said seriously.
"Qingqing,
I'll go tell Dad and your second sister-in-law the good news right away.
They'll be very happy to hear that.
Lin Erzhu's face lit up with joy, and he turned to leave.
Just then, Chunlan finished sewing the raincoat.
"Second Master, the raincoat is ready."
Would you like to try it on?
Lin Erzhu paused, then excitedly took the raincoat.
"That's perfect, I'll try out this new raincoat first."
Then I'll go tell my father and the others the good news.
As he spoke, he deftly put on his raincoat.
After spinning around in place a few times,
I even went out and stood in the rain for a while.
Raindrops hit the raincoat and quickly slid off.
The clothes inside were completely dry.
"Haha, this raincoat is fantastic! Qingqing,"
Look at this, it's lightweight and waterproof.
It's absolutely perfect!
As Lin Erzhu spoke,
He strode back to the eaves.
Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.
Chunlan learns so quickly!
This raincoat is really well made.
"Qingqing, I'll head back now."
Thank you for the raincoat.
After saying that, Lin Erzhu grabbed his raincoat and ran out.
Lu Qingqing smiled and shook her head, then turned to Chunlan and said:
"Chunlan, I see there's still quite a bit of tung oilcloth left."
"How about we make a few more?"
Chunlan nodded in agreement:
"Okay, miss."
I'll go get some more oilcloth right away.
He then strode quickly toward the woodshed where the oilcloth was stored.
……
In the county magistrate's office in the town, Li Xiuming was getting restless.
My son came back from Lu Qingqing's place a few days ago.
I told him about the cultivation of purple ginseng.
And what about the oilcloth?
He inquired throughout the town and in Tongzhou.
Not a single cloth shop knew what oilcloth was.
Originally, Li Xiuming wanted to ask Lu Qingqing about the specifics himself.
But the weather wasn't cooperating; we hadn't even set off yet.
Then the rain poured down.
It's been raining for days now, and it shows no sign of stopping.
Li Xiuming paced back and forth in the study.
His brow furrowed, he pondered to himself:
If this Purple Spirit Ginseng can truly be successfully cultivated...
That would be a great blessing.
This will greatly benefit the livelihoods of the people in this area.
And that oilcloth, which I'd never even heard of before
It might also contain unlimited business opportunities.
But the rain acted as a barrier.
Separate him from Lu Qingqing.
Just then, the old lady came over.
"Ming'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so worried?"
But what difficulties did you encounter?
Li Xiuming hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
He helped the old lady sit down.
"Mother, it's nothing serious."
Li Xiuming hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
He helped the old lady sit down.
"Mother, it's not a big deal."
A few days ago, Xuan'er came back from his younger sister's place.
She mentioned to me that her younger sister wanted to lead the Lin and Li villages to plant a type of medicinal herb.
They say one plant can be exchanged for thirty taels of silver.
The son felt this was a good thing that would benefit the country and its people.
I was thinking of asking my sister myself.
But the rain just kept falling.
The son was anxious.
The old lady nodded slightly, her expression solemn.
"Xuan'er also told me about this."
They said the medicinal herb was Purple Spirit Ginseng.
I have heard of this herb before.
If it can be successfully planted...
The people of those two villages are truly blessed.
I really didn't expect that.
My daughter has such amazing abilities!
Tomorrow, you'll have to help your sister out a bit more with this matter.
The old lady said earnestly,
His eyes were full of concern.
Li Xiuming nodded quickly.
Mother, please rest assured
My sister is doing something that benefits the people.
I will definitely give my full support.
