After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 90: Making oilcloth and building a greenhouse

The emperor nodded and thought so, then began to think about the things in his private storehouse and which ones would be suitable for his grandson.

When the queen saw him standing there without moving, she immediately sent him away, "Go and ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange Xiao'er's wedding. Don't stay here."

"Also, Xiao'er said that my daughter-in-law wanted the wedding to be as simple as possible except for the regulations. I think she doesn't like trouble. Please ask the people in the Ministry of Rites to pay attention to this."

"Also, the matter of the grandson should be kept secret until Xiao'er gets married."

The emperor knew what she meant, so he waved his hand and left.

When she walked out of the harem, she looked back and thought carefully about which other concubines were in her harem.

Those who were selected to enter the palace were all daughters of ministers, and he only wanted to check and balance those ambitious people.

If you are content, you can stay in the harem and enjoy your retirement, and he will give you the honor you deserve in the family.

If you are restless...

After Hui Chengyuan left, Yuanman sat in the village chief's yard for a while and took out the letter of commitment written by Hui Chengyuan.

He wrote down everything she asked for, and even added two more conditions of his own, both of which were conditions to suppress him.

Yuan Man put the letter of commitment into his backpack, gathered his thoughts, crossed Lianyun Mountain and went to the farm. He told Qin Han some precautions and asked him to maintain the pepper trees behind Lianyun Mountain. He could not go up the mountain from this side because there were many wild beasts, but had to go from Hequan Village.

Then we set off for Zengcheng.

Looking at the rows of pig pens, Yuanman smiled with satisfaction.

She waved her hand to let Yuan Yi and the others disperse, and she took advantage of the fact that no one was around to start releasing the piglets. There were ten piglets in a pigpen, so a hundred pigpens were just right.

Just as the piglets were put in place, Meng Dalang came running over upon hearing the noise.

Meng Dalang was overjoyed when he saw the piglets in the pigsty, but was stunned when he saw Yuan Man. The last time the boss came, she was a woman dressed as a man. He thought she should have an extraordinary appearance, but he didn't expect her to be so extraordinary!

Feeling Yuan Yichao's cold gaze, Meng Dalang immediately woke up and said, "You delivered these piglets overnight? Why didn't you wake us up to help? There were so many pigs, but we didn't hear any noise. This is not right."

Yuan Man waved his hand and said, "Nothing, now the piglets have been delivered, you have to raise them according to the instructions in the manual."

"Someone will tell you how to sell it when you grow up."

Meng Dalang nodded, "Yes, I will raise these pigs strictly according to the manual."

"Boss, please go to the other courtyard and take a rest. I will take out the account book for you to see later."

It cost a lot of money to build these pig houses.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. It's such a big pig house, so you need to arrange someone to look after it." Yuanman said and left.

After resting for a night in the villa, Yuanman came to the farm again and looked at the one hundred acres of land and began to ponder.

A thousand pigs require a lot of things to feed. Collecting wild boar grass is one of them, and you also have to grow some things to feed them.

There were not many places available to build greenhouses, so Yuanman turned his attention to the village next door.

He called Meng Dalang and asked him who the owner of the neighboring farm was and whether he could buy it.

Meng Dalang shook his head after hearing this and said, "The owner of that manor is the Tan family, the richest family in Zengcheng. There is no way they will sell it."

Yuan Man could only secretly feel that it was a pity. How could the richest man in the city sell his profitable farm for no reason?

"Is there any unowned land next to our farm? I want to sell another 100 acres of land."

Meng Dalang thought for a moment, then took Yuan Man to the back of the manor and pointed to the tunnel at the foot of the mountain: "That piece of land is unowned, but because it is close to the foot of the mountain, wild animals often come down the mountain, so it has been empty."

Yuanman looked at the vacant space and liked it more and more.

One side is backed by the mountain and the other side is backed by the farm. All you need to do is build guardrails on the other two sides.

There is nothing to worry about if you have a mountain as your backyard is full of trees. Just put up a thick fence.

Moreover, with the farmland blocking the view, people cannot see the greenhouse after it is built.

Yuan Man immediately made the decision: "This is it. Go ask how big the land is and how much it costs to buy it."

Meng Dalang nodded and ran out. After running two steps, he ran back and looked at Yuan Man and said embarrassedly: "Um, Boss, we don't have enough silver on the farm. Do you have any silver on you?"

He went to ask and found out that he needed money to establish connections.

We have to pay those who come to work tomorrow.

Yuan Man took out a few silver notes and handed them to him, saying, "Here is five thousand taels. If that's enough, just buy this piece of land."

"Yes, boss." Meng Dalang took the banknote and ran away.

We have the land, but now we just need the translucent cloth to cover the greenhouse.

There were no plastic sheets or acrylic boards available in ancient times.

[Host, sign in and open the exchange mall, and you can buy what you want. 】

Yuan Man rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that easy. I've been to so many places and have only collected 38,000 points. It's far from 1 million points."

"Tong, how about you be kind enough to open the redemption mall for me first, and I will return the points in installments?"

[……]Do I look like a fool?

[No, you must first deduct points before you can open the redemption mall. Please try your best.] The system said and disappeared.

Yuan Man sighed, left the village and walked towards Zengcheng.

She was going to visit various cloth shops in the city to see if she could find the kind of cloth she needed.

After entering the city, Yuan Man went straight to various cloth shops and garment stores. She bought all the cloth for sale.

The result was disappointing. Except for the white cloth used for funerals, all other cloths were colorful.

"Shaobing, a fragrant and crispy pancake."

Hearing the shout, Yuanman felt a little hungry, so he stopped at the pancake stall and bought two pancakes.

I took a bite and it was indeed very fragrant and crispy.

Take another bite and it tastes even better.

Yuanman looked at the pancakes in his hand with satisfaction and wanted to buy a few more, so he went back and bought ten more.

When Yuan Man saw the stall owner taking out the packaged oil paper, an idea flashed across her mind. There are good and bad white cloths. The better ones are denser and less transparent. So why not just buy the bad ones and then apply tung oil on them?

I did it as I thought. I took the pancake handed to me by the stall owner, paid the money and ran towards the cloth shop.

But she only bought white cotton cloth from a cloth shop, the cheapest kind.

Looking up at the sky, the light transmittance is very good.

Yuan Man asked Yuan Yi to find tung oil for pasting oil paper, and she returned to the farm.

She asked people to set up a few large clothes drying racks in the open space at the back, and asked who in the village knew how to paste oil paper. She called all those who knew over and told them what she needed.

After Yuan Yi and the others came back, Yuan Man asked everyone to start brushing the oilcloth, first applying a thin layer, and then applying the second and third layers after it dried.

To ensure the light transmittance of the cloth, she required that each layer be brushed thinly.

The next day, after Yuan Man saw the finished product, he poured a cup of water on the cloth. After confirming that there would be no leakage, he asked Yuan Er to buy all the bad white cloth from the Zengcheng cloth shop.

Let the farmers quickly apply tung oil and dry them in the sun.

Meng Dalang also successfully bought the land. Looking at the deed in his hand, Yuanman began to plan the land and how to build a greenhouse.
