"Sister, are you here to pick us up? Where is Brother Li Yan?"

"Well, I came to town today for something, and I took you home. Li Yan went to the mountain to plant trees, and I asked my mother to tell him not to come."

"Sister, I'm so happy that you can come to pick me and my brother up!" Minghao stood beside Li Mengyue, chattering non-stop.

Mingyu, Mingxuan and Chen Bao were all envious of the way Minghao got along with his sister.

But their personalities are different from Minghao's, and they can't be as intimate as Li Mengyue.

But they also like their sister, and they can't hide their joy.

After Li Mengyue finished talking to Minghao, she saw the three little boys standing in front of her, reached out her hand and touched their heads, and asked softly, "How was your day at the academy?"

Chen Bao nodded vigorously, and then said loudly: "Sister Li, we are fine."

Mingyu frowned when he saw Chen Bao interrupted him. Before he could open his mouth, Chen Bao spoke again.

"Sister Li, the braised meat is so delicious. Sister Li is amazing. She can make such delicious braised meat. Sister Li, when you bring food to Minghao and the others in the future, can you bring some for me? I don't eat much, so just prepare a little more, about two plates."

Look at Chen Bao flattering and acting like a lackey, even begging for food from his sister. He is not as cool as he was when he was fighting in the bookstore. He was conquered by the delicious food cooked by his sister.

Mingxuan stood nearby and saw Chen Bao acting cute and trying to please others for the sake of delicious food. He couldn't help but sigh that the charm of delicious food was so great that even the usually arrogant Young Master Chen had to act cute for a few delicious foods.

Li Mengyue looked at the adorable little boy in front of her and couldn't connect him with the young Master Chen she met in the bookstore.

But since my three younger brothers are in college, it’s good to be able to make friends with Chen Bao.

Although the college is a sacred place for teaching and educating, it is still in the secular world and cannot be immune to worldly affairs. The background of students determines their status in the college to a certain extent.

My three younger brothers were ordinary people, what people called "peasants". It was normal for them to be looked down upon and bullied after entering the college.

Not to mention anything else, I just went to the bookstore to buy books, and was bullied by Chen Bao.

Although he didn't suffer any loss in the end, it was a big blow to his three younger brothers.

In order to study better, Mingyu lit a lamp and read at night every day. She told Mingyu several times that reading for a long time at night was bad for the eyes.

Mingyu promised her on the surface that he would not read for too long, but she found that Mingyu still read secretly, sometimes putting the oil lamp where the window could not see, and sometimes reading with the help of moonlight. She did not want to stifle this hardworking and enterprising spirit, so she could only pretend not to know.

Suddenly an idea came to her mind. Since she couldn't stop Mingyu from reading at night, why not create better conditions for him, such as making some candles herself.

In this way, when Mingyu wants to read at night, he can light a candle, which is much better than an oil lamp. If one candle is not bright enough, he can light a few more.

Of course, candles are obsolete in the post-era, but here, most people use oil lamps for lighting, and the fuel used is animal fats.

When these oils burn, they not only produce a lot of smoke, but also an unpleasant odor. Within a quarter of an hour, the whole room is filled with the smell.

If you live in this kind of environment for a long time, it will undoubtedly cause great harm to your health.

The key is that the safety performance of using oil lamps is still very low. After all, this kind of open flame burning, in the case of wind or other external interference, can easily cause a fire, causing immeasurable consequences.

The most important thing is that the brightness of the oil lamp is too low. The dim light is only slightly better than not lighting it. However, reading at night requires a higher brightness, which obviously cannot be met by the oil lamp.

But people are used to it now, and another point is that not everyone can afford an oil lamp.

Not to mention other places, even in Xinghua Village, there were no more than ten households that could afford oil lamps. It was only because she made a lot of money that she was not stingy with using oil lamps.

Even when we first started lighting the oil lamp, my mother felt bad about the waste. But later, when we lit it every day and the family had enough money for oil, she slowly accepted it.

If she made candles, not only would it be convenient for her family to use, but she might also be able to find a way to make money and save more money for her baby.

Villagers can also work in candle workshops, which will bring more income to their families, improve their living conditions, and naturally increase their gratitude.

Such a multi-pronged effort cannot be delayed and must be carried out as soon as possible.

Another point is that there were candles in this era, but only wealthy families could afford the candles of this era.

The hardness of yellow wax candles is relatively low, and they cannot even be stored at room temperature. They can only be kept at low temperatures, otherwise the candle will deform.

As long as she makes candles that are bright and easy to preserve, she won't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

Li Mengyue is not the kind of person who procrastinates. If you want to make candles, you need to use beeswax.

As far as she knew, there were not many people keeping bees in this era, so beeswax was hard to buy.

It seems that if you want to start a candle business, you also need to raise bees and make beeswax.

Raising bees is not a big deal. It just so happened that she bought a lot of land some time ago and planted a lot of fruit trees. There is also a piece of land where she can plant flowers, which can be used to raise bees.

The most important thing now is to buy some beeswax and make enough candles for your home use.

So Li Mengyue nodded to Chen Bao and promised that she would prepare an extra portion for him when she brought more food next time.

Chen Bao was very happy after hearing this, and Li Mengyue took her three younger brothers to Tongxin Hall.

When we arrived at Tongxin Hall, Doctor Wang was sitting in for consultation.

When Doctor Wang saw the master coming, even though he was anxious to pay his respects, he could not ignore the patient and had to treat the patient patiently.

Seeing that Doctor Wang was busy, Li Mengyue did not disturb him and asked the medicine boy to buy two kilograms of beeswax.

She originally wanted to buy some more, but these two kilograms were all the stock in the store.

Two kilograms of beeswax is enough for Li Mengyue to make a lot of candles.

She was not greedy, but she still told the medicine boy to keep some beeswax for her when he got it.

After buying what they wanted, Dr. Wang was still busy. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mengyue decided to take her brother home and wait for a chance to answer Dr. Wang's questions.

After Li Mengyue left, another half a quarter of an hour passed before Doctor Wang finished examining the patients in line.

But at this time, Li Mengyue had already walked far away.

At this time, Wang Zheng also came to the lobby from the backyard and saw his grandfather standing at the door and looking into the distance, like a stone sculpture.

"Grandpa, what are you doing standing here?"

Doctor Wang looked at his apprentice and grandson Wang Zheng and said casually, "My master is here. There are so many patients that he didn't even have time to say a word."

"What! Master is here, and I missed the chance to see him." Wang Zheng was very upset.

"You little bastard, I didn't say a word, it's a good thing you didn't see it." Doctor Wang said unhappily.

"Grandpa, you are my master, how can you say that to me?"

"Tell me what's wrong with you. Listen to me."

"No, I'm going to complain to my master."

"Complain, do you know the address?"

"How could I not know? It's not in Xinghua Village."

"Xinghua Village, when did you figure it out?"

Wang Zheng saw his grandfather talking about him, turned around and ran to the backyard. His grandfather was too bad. He wanted to study the medical books left by his master hard and push his grandfather, the old wave, onto the beach.

Doctor Wang saw his grandson throwing a tantrum, shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously, and continued to treat the new patient.

Little did he know that Wang Zheng secretly vowed to learn advanced medical skills so that the diseases that his grandfather could not cure could be easily cured in his hands. Then he would see if his grandfather would still dare to look down on him.

What Doctor Wang could not have imagined was that although his grandson and apprentice had a talent for medicine, he was not diligent enough and always liked to be lazy.

He had said it many times, but his grandson agreed on the surface and behaved well for a few days.

But before long, he would become lazy again. He would not study if he could avoid studying, and would not get out of bed if he could sleep a little longer, which gave him a terrible headache.

Sometimes he would wonder whether he should not force his grandson to do things he didn't like. Even if his grandson had a talent for medicine, he should be given the right to choose.

But now Doctor Wang doesn't have to worry about it. Seeing that Wang Zheng is studying medicine diligently, he will probably be grateful that his medical skills have a successor.
