I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

Qiao Ye finally had a satisfying meal.

My overall mood has improved a lot.

After finishing her meal, she first asked the people of the Lu family to put the pine resin they had cut on the mountain during the day into a casserole to boil oil.

He took a kind of medicinal herb and two kinds of plants and boiled them into juice.

Put it in two large wooden basins filled with sheep fat soaked in water.

This is a special liquid used to remove the fishy smell of mutton fat and promote the concentration and refinement of the fat.

After soaking overnight, boil the oil the next day, and the candles you make will not have any sheep smell.

It is also not easy to guess that this is made of mutton fat.

After mixing according to the proportion, the pine oil is almost cooked.

She took a piece of bamboo and threaded the cotton thread through it.

Pour the filtered rosin oil into the pot and cut it cold.

Then let the Lu family take action and make more.

In addition to the pieces of bamboo, she also took the simple petal-shaped molds carved by Lu Shao.

Pour pine oil in, then put a cotton thread in the bottom, and wait for it to cool and solidify.

When the people from the Lu family saw this, they couldn't help but wonder, can this be made into candles?

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but ask, "Is it that easy to make candles?"

Is this going to work?

Qiao Ye said: "Of course it can be done, but the candles made of pine oil are not so beautiful in appearance."

“It’s not as bright as sheep fat, and it has a pine oil smell.”

“But the advantage is that it doesn’t cost much.”

They could only wait and see the results with half belief and half doubt.

Lu Shao believed in Qiao Ye very much, "Do you want to sell this pine oil candle?"

Qiao Ye said, "Yes, the cheapest candle is 20 cents each now, and we can sell this for cents. It should sell well."

She added: "This is a low-end route to earn some money to buy meat and vegetables."

"The sheep oil guy is taking the high-end route and earning money from buying the mountain."

She has a lot of recipes for pills and toiletries, and it would be too expensive to buy the herbs outside to make them.

It is still more cost-effective to grow the herbs yourself, and the quality is much better.

So in addition to making money to improve her life, she also wanted to buy a barren hill near the village and a mountain covered with bamboo.

Lu Shao knew that his young wife had a big heart, so he asked with a smile, "Do you need to make other molds for this kind of pine oil candle?"

Qiao Ye shook his head. "No need. Just use the bamboo tube and the petals as the mold."

"This is cheap, so you don't have to make it look too pretty, otherwise it will clash with the sheep fat."

"And before long, someone will definitely be selling these pine oil candles."

Making pine oil candles is very simple and can be done with careful research.

Never underestimate the Chinese people's ability to study and imitate.

Therefore, it is estimated that in a short time, there will be similar candles on the market and the price will fall again.

There is no need to spend too much energy on this.

Lu Shao said: "Okay."

The Lu family still doubted whether candles could be made.

I heard Qiao Ye and Lu Shao talking about what they were going to buy after they made money.

Everyone was stunned.

Wulang and his wife are so generous!

Wulang's wife is really bold. She even thought of buying a mountain.

Although mountain land is much cheaper per acre than farmland, it would cost at least a hundred taels of silver to buy one or a piece of land.

Therefore, they have not heard of anyone in the village or nearby buying the mountain.

I wanted to say a few words, but I didn't know if the candles would work, so I remained silent.

Then Qiao Ye and Lu Shao went to the utility room to watch him carve the mold.

She found that her husband's hands were particularly beautiful.

The fingers are white and slender, and the nails are trimmed short with a healthy and beautiful pink.

The sight of someone concentrating on carving with a knife is very pleasing to the eye.

In his hands, the wood soon seemed to come alive and turned into a miniature plum tree.

With this appearance and practical ability, if put in modern times, he would definitely be considered a male god.

I have to say, the young husband looks really good.

If he were to enter the entertainment industry or do live broadcasts or record videos, he would definitely have a lot of fans.

Once Lu Shao starts doing something, he will be very serious and focused.

So after finishing the last cut of the carving, he realized that a pair of eyes were falling on him.

When I looked up, I saw the young wife looking at me with admiration.

He asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me?"

Qiao Ye said truthfully: "You are beautiful!"

There was pure enjoyment in her eyes, but no infatuation.

Lu Shao was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward.

He chuckled and said, "My wife is also very beautiful."

Qiao Ye's eyes widened, "You actually praised me against your conscience."

"Although I do like people to praise my good looks."

"But the way I look now, I really can't be called good-looking!"

She looks pale and thin now. It's good enough that she doesn't look ugly. I really don't think she looks good.

Lu Shao looked at her like this and just thought she was cute and interesting.

He laughed and said, "You have delicate features and a good foundation. Once you gain some weight and get whiter, you will definitely be a beauty."

In fact, he thinks his current wife is not ugly at all and even looks pretty.

When Qiao Ye heard this, a smile spread across his face. "Shao Shao, if you can talk, just say more."

"Come on, keep praising me, I love to hear it.

You know what, my little husband is really sweet.

She loves to hear such praise.

Lu Shao was amused by her appearance and laughed out loud, "Okay!"

Although he was called Shao Shao, he was stunned, with an indescribable feeling.

But things soon returned to normal, and good words were spoken without asking for any money.

"My wife, not only is she beautiful, but she is also clever and eloquent, and she is also very protective of her shortcomings."

"His cooking skills are as good as those of the chefs at the Beijing Hotel. He is also very skillful and knows a lot..."

Qiao Ye really didn't expect that her young husband would praise her so much.

If I wasn't more rational, I would have been lost in his handsome face and kind words.

But the overall mood is very happy.

She is such a vulgar person, she likes to hear compliments about herself.

The two chatted and laughed while waiting for Lu Shao to finish carving the molds.

Lu Shao asked: "Do you think it's okay? If not, I'll carve it again."

Qiao Ye picked up the mold he carved and looked at it, then said with satisfaction, "It's great."

"Your carving skills are really good! You carved my drawing exactly like that."

This is also the effect she wanted.

Lu Shao smiled and said, "That's fine."

"There is only one mold for each type now. Do you want me to carve out more?"

He used to carve something almost every day in order to hone his patience and concentration.

Now it is to make my young wife happy.

Qiao Ye said: "No need for now, let's wait until we make the candles and see the effect first."

Lu Shao let her do as she pleased, "Okay!"

It was getting late now.

The two returned to the front hall and found the people from the Lu family sitting with oil lamps lit.

At this time in the past, everyone would go back to their rooms.

Men, women, old and young sat and twisted cotton thread with spindles.

The cotton thread would be used to weave cloth and then pay taxes.

Although white cotton cloth is not valuable, villagers will sell any leftover cotton cloth.

White cotton cloth is not resistant to staining except for making inner garments, so villagers do not use it to make clothes themselves.

There are hand-cranked and foot-operated spinning wheels now, but they are not cheap and people in the village are reluctant to buy them.

Looking at the cotton thread spun by the Lu family, Qiao Ye had an idea.

But now I should prepare the mosquito coils and candles first, and then do the other things.

After all, you can’t become fat in one bite.

Seeing Qiao Ye and the other person walk in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

Qiao Ye knew that they were anxious to know the result.

So he walked over and picked up a bamboo tube.

It was found that it had cooled and formed.

He used his hands to pry open the bamboo tube and took out the long oval dark amber candle inside.

Then he held it to the oil lamp, lit it, and placed it on the table.

When the people of the Lu family saw this, they were all surprised, "They actually made candles."
