Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 194 Isn't the Purple Spirit Ginseng afraid of the cold? Why does it need to be shaded a

the next morning,

Lin Erzhu sent the children to town early on.

Lin Qingshan looked at the cloth he had been washing until midnight last night, which was still not dry.

They went to Lin Erzhu's new house to tidy up.

Chunlan and the others were also busy tidying up.

Only Lu Qingqing remained in the living room.

Shuang'er and Wang Xiuxiu, the three of them.

Lu Qingqing glanced at Wang Xiuxiu and said,

"Sister-in-law, let me take your pulse."

Lu Qingqing gently took Wang Xiuxiu's pulse.

I focused intently on sensing the subtle changes in the pulse.

A moment later, she looked up and smiled slightly.

"Sister-in-law, you and the child are both doing well."

"And judging from your pulse, this pregnancy seems to be a boy."

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile:

"Qingqing, you actually know how to make your sister-in-law happy."

"Can you tell if someone is a boy or a girl just by taking their pulse?"

Lu Qingqing explained in a serious tone:

"sister in law,

This method of determining the sex of a fetus from the pulse is recorded in medical books.

The accuracy rate is almost 80-90%.

Wang Xiuxiu touched her belly in surprise and said...

"Qingqing, your sister-in-law believes in you. Having you is my blessing."

The things you say always make your sister-in-law feel better.

Shuang'er stood to the side and asked curiously:

"Mother, could you teach Shuang'er?"

I also want to show it to my second aunt.

Lu Qingqing smiled and patted Shuang'er's head.

"Since our Shuang'er is so eager to learn..."

Then I'll teach you.

Wang Xiuxiu cooperated readily, immediately extending her other hand.

"Come here, Shuang'er, help your second aunt take a look."

Shuang'er felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Following Lu Qingqing's example,

He carefully placed his fingers on Wang Xiuxiu's wrist.

She tilted her head, trying to feel her pulse.

He looked extremely serious.

Lu Qingqing whispered instructions from the side:

"Shuang'er, don't press too hard."

Just lightly touch it with your fingers.

Try it and see.

"Can you feel the pulse beating?"

Shuang'er nodded slightly.

"Yes, Mother, I can feel it."

It's a series of hops.

"very good.

Now, try to feel it again.

Does this pulsation feel like a tiny...

The round beads rolled under your fingers.

Lu Qingqing said patiently.

Shuang'er kept her little mouth tightly closed.

He focused intently on feeling Wang Xiuxiu's pulse.

After a while, she raised her head, somewhat dejected.

"mother,

"Why can't Shuang'er feel her pulse beating like beads?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and comforted him:

"It's alright, Shuang'er."

It's normal that you can't feel it now.

This pulse diagnosis cannot be accurately assessed in a short time.

Even my mother studied it for a long time beforehand.

Moreover, it takes a lot of practice to master the accuracy.

You're still young.

There will be plenty of time later to learn and understand.

"No rush."

Shuang'er nodded understandingly.

"Yes, Shuang'er understands."

"Mother, Shuang'er will definitely study hard from now on."

Wang Xiuxiu looked at Shuang'er with eyes full of affection.

"Shuang'er is such a studious child."

"I'll definitely be as outstanding as you when I grow up."

Lu Qingqing smiled and patted Shuang'er's head.

"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law."

"Shuang'er is so smart, she'll definitely be better than me in the future."

Shuang'er was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Her little face flushed slightly.

She peeked out from behind Lu Qingqing and said:

"Mother, second uncle's mother,

When Shuang'er grows up, she will learn many, many skills.

To help more people.

Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu looked at each other and smiled.

They praised it together:

"Shuang'er is amazing!"

Shuang'er laughed happily.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Qingqing, I think life is really good right now,"

Wang Xiuxiu's face was filled with a happy smile.

Gently stroking her belly,

His eyes were full of hope for the future.

"After the child is born,"

Our family was having a lively and joyful time.

Furthermore, if the cultivation of this Purple Spirit Ginseng is successful,

The village became rich.

"The days that followed held even more hope."

Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.

"Yes, sister-in-law, as long as we work together..."

The best is yet to come.

As Lu Qingqing spoke,

It was as if something had suddenly come to mind.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law!"

How could I forget the most important thing?

Our purple ginseng cultivation,

Seed treatment is a crucial step.

I was so focused on the tarpaulin issue before.

We almost overlooked this most important matter.

Wang Xiuxiu quickly comforted her:

"Don't rush, Qingqing,"

Our father has been farming for decades.

They have some planting experience, after all.

I'll go and call our dad over right now.

Let's discuss it together.

Lu Qingqing nodded.

"Okay, sister-in-law, then I'll trouble you to make the trip."

I'll think about it more carefully.

Let's see if we can find a more suitable solution in medical books.

Shuang'er quickly grabbed Wang Xiuxiu's hand:

"Mom, I'm going with my second aunt."

After Wang Xiuxiu and Shuang'er walked out the door,

Lu Qingqing immediately called out in a low voice:

"Little Bean, Little Bean, are you there?"

"Host, I am your system, Xiaodou."

I've been here all along.

A crisp electronic sound rang in Lu Qingqing's mind.

Lu Qingqing hurriedly asked:

Do you know how purple ginseng was cultivated or propagated in ancient times?

Then, the system, Xiaodou, quickly responded:

"Master host,

The following will play automatically for you.

The content of cultivating seeds or propagating purple ginseng in ancient times.

The most common method for cultivating *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* seeds is:

After seed collection,

The seeds need to be mixed with clean, fine sand in a certain proportion.

The typical ratio is one part seeds to three parts fine sand.

Then choose a shady and damp spot.

Dig a deep pit, about three feet deep.

Then put the mixed seeds and fine sand into the pit.

Cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then cover it with fallen leaves, thatch, or other materials.

This simulates a natural low-temperature and humid environment.

Promotes the breaking of seed dormancy.

As for how to reproduce,

Besides seed reproduction,

Another method is division.

Before the plants sprout in spring,

Carefully dig out the mother plant of the Purple Spirit Ginseng.

Gently shake off the soil from the roots.

Based on the natural growth of its rhizomes,

Use a sharp and clean knife to cut it into several smaller plants.

Each small plant should retain its complete root system and part of its rhizome.

The divided seedlings were then transplanted to a pre-prepared location.

Fertile and well-drained land

Water thoroughly to settle the roots, and provide appropriate shade for maintenance.

Lu Qingqing quickly pressed for an answer:

"Little bean, little bean,

Didn't you say before that Purple Spirit Ginseng is afraid of the cold?

Why do we need shade and lower temperatures again?

System Bean immediately explained:

"Master host,

The temperature requirements of purple ginseng vary at different growth stages.

Mature plants are indeed susceptible to cold.

It thrives in warm environments with a certain level of humidity.

However, the seed stage is rather unique.

Its dormancy period needs to be broken by a specific low-temperature environment.

Just like some plant seeds need to experience the low temperatures of winter in order to germinate successfully the following year.

This low-temperature treatment can stimulate physiological changes inside the seed.

To prepare for subsequent germination.

But when the seeds germinate into seedlings...

It also needs to avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, so it needs to be shaded.

And to create a suitable temperature and humidity environment for it,

To ensure healthy growth.

Lu Qingqing suddenly realized,

"Oh, I see."

Now I understand.

Thank you, System Bean.

The system's little bean responded cheerfully:

"You're welcome, Master Host."

If the host has any further questions...

Feel free to ask me anything anytime.
