Everyone came closer to the candle and looked at it carefully.

You know what, it does look a bit similar to the candles sold outside, except for the color.

And it is indeed brighter than the oil lamp on the table.

Oil lamps consume a lot of oil, and it costs money to light them more often every month.

However, these candles can be made with just pine resin, which is a very profitable business.

Then they saw Qiao Ye take out a petal-shaped candle from the mold.

On the same point, the height is much shorter than that made with bamboo tubes, but it looks better.

Boss Lu couldn't help but praise, "Wu Lang's wife, you are really amazing!"

"Let's get more and sell them tomorrow."

"There are so many pine trees on the mountain. The pine resin scraped off can be used to make a lot of candles."

"One candle is fifteen cents, ten is one hundred and fifty cents, one hundred..."

When the people from the Lu family did the math, there was surprise and excitement in their eyes.

These candles are easy to make and you can make some every day.

That doesn't mean you can make a lot of money every day.

Seeing how excited they were, Qiao Ye couldn't help but pour cold water on them, saying, "This thing won't last long at 15 cents. We have to lower the price."

The Lu family was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Qiao Ye said: "I guess it won't take more than half a month before someone else will come and sell the same candles."

"If others want to outsell you, they will naturally have to lower their prices."

"This thing doesn't cost anything. Even if you only sell it for two or three cents, you'll still make money."

"As more and more people make and sell them, the price will get lower and lower."

The Lu family really didn’t expect this.

One by one, they calmed down from the excitement.

Lu Lao Er frowned, "Then won't we be able to earn that much?"

Qiao Ye said: "Just make as much as you can. The rosin doesn't cost money anyway."

"Don't take this little money seriously."

"It was originally used to improve life, and I didn't expect to make a lot of money from it."

People from the Lu family: "..."

Wulang's wife is really arrogant.

They just did the math, and even if they only make money in the first period of time, they can still make a lot if they lower the price later.

She actually said that this little bit of money was nothing to worry about.

If someone else said this, they would definitely sneer at it and think it was pretentious.

But when it comes to Wulang's wife, they inexplicably feel that she really thinks so.

Old Mrs. Lu asked with a shrewd look in her eyes: "Can we make a lot of money from candles made from sheep fat?"

She now completely believed what this girl said.

Qiao Ye shook his head and said, "One candle sells for three or five taels of silver. If the quantity is not increased, it is not possible to make a lot of money."

Naturally, her idea of ​​making a lot of money and the Lu family's idea of ​​making a lot of money are different.

The county they were in was not a very wealthy one, so the number of sheep slaughtered every day was not too many.

Even if you buy all the sheep fat, it is still limited.

Besides, if you go for the high-quality product route, it naturally cannot flow into the market in large quantities, otherwise it will become worthless.

These words stunned everyone in the Lu family.

Lu Lao San stammered, "What? A sheep oil candle costs three or five taels?"

"This is totally stealing people. Will anyone buy it?"

Qiao Ye raised his eyebrows, "Your vision is still too narrow."

"The candles we want to make are not simple candles. Why can't we sell them for three or five taels?"

"We are just a small county town. If we were in a wealthy place like Jiangnan or the capital, we could sell for ten taels or even more."

Scarcity makes things valuable, and the candles they make are one-of-a-kind.

The key is that what she wants to make is no longer just a simple candle, but a work of art.

Because of her grandfather, she used to like reading history books and some interesting stories about ancient times.

In fact, ancient people also pursued fashion and trends.

There are many modern people who like to buy expensive and unique things to show off.

Of course, the ancients were no exception.

If you take this thing out, you can definitely show off.

So she is still very confident about pricing and sales.

The people of the Lu family obviously couldn't imagine or understand it.

Therefore, I was skeptical that it could be sold for three or five taels, let alone ten taels.

A candle can turn into a flower? Ten taels of silver, only a fool would buy it.

They definitely won't buy it anyway.

Qiao Ye couldn't explain these to them now. After all, the people of the Lu family had too low a vision.

She waved her hand, "Just wait and see."

The Lu family nodded. Of course they would wait and see.

However, being able to make pine oil candles was already a big surprise for them.

No one wanted to sleep, so they suggested making more candles and selling them in the town and the county tomorrow.

Qiao Ye naturally would not discourage their enthusiasm for making money.

She asked Lu Erya and Lu Sanya to take the two newly lit candles and follow her to the kitchen.

At this moment, both of them were very convinced and admired Qiao Ye, so they did as they were told without hesitation.

Qiao Ye went into the kitchen, took out the remaining meat and started chopping it.

Lu Sanya couldn't help but ask: "Fifth cousin, do you still want to cook meat now?"

Qiao Ye replied: "Make some sauerkraut and eat it tomorrow."

"It's too hot now. The meat will smell bad if it's left out tomorrow."

Although Lu Sanya and the others were a little disappointed, they were looking forward to tomorrow.

Qiao Ye chopped it into minced meat, added bean paste and seasoning, and stir-fried it into meat sauce.

The aroma of the meat sauce was so overbearing and rich that it soon spread to the front hall.

The people of the Lu family couldn't concentrate on their work after smelling the smell.

Mrs. Lu's face changed involuntarily and she hurried to the kitchen.

She thought Qiao Ye was going to cook meat again, but she couldn't waste money like this.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard Qiao Ye say that it was made for tomorrow.

When the other members of the Lu family found out, they all swallowed their saliva and looked forward to tomorrow.

Although they had a rare full meal tonight, they couldn't stop themselves from getting hungry again after smelling the aroma.

The days before were as dull as a pool of stagnant water, day after day were the same.

Now, I suddenly have hope.

They were looking forward to eating meat noodles tomorrow and to selling candles for money tomorrow.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that this day is beautiful!

After Qiao Ye fried the臊子, she called Lu Shao back to the room.

The people from the Lu family made a bunch of candles before going to bed.

Because he went to bed early, Qiao Ye woke up the next day when he heard any noise outside.

I gargled with willow twigs dipped in salt, but I felt very uncomfortable.

She will have to make toothbrushes and toothpaste later.

After washing up, she went into the kitchen.

As long as she is not busy with work in the fields, it is usually Mrs. Lu who cooks, and today it was her again.

Before going to bed yesterday, Qiao Ye asked her to mix corn flour and white flour to make some noodles this morning.

She's done now.

As soon as Qiao Ye entered, he saw the prepared noodles.

I have to say that the people in the Lu family are very hardworking, and she is satisfied with their work.

The reason why Mrs. Lu was asked to make multi-grain noodles was because not too much white rice noodles were bought.

There were too many people in the Lu family, and they were gone after just a few meals.

She asked Mrs. Lu to boil water and cook the noodles. When they were cooked, she scooped out a bowl first.

Heat up the fried pork sauce, cover the noodles with it, and add green onions and other ingredients.

Then he picked it up and said to Mrs. Lu, "Put the ingredients in the same way for the others."

Mrs. Lu smelled the fragrance and swallowed her saliva. "You mean everyone should have a bowl?"

This kind of noodles can be eaten twice a day at home, except during the busy harvest season.

Don’t even think about it at other times, just go with the meatless kind.

Moreover, it is basically eaten by men who do heavy work, and women rarely get to eat it.

That's why she asked.

Qiao Ye looked at her inexplicably, "That's nonsense, of course one bowl per person."

"From now on, the Lu family doesn't need to be special. You can eat whatever we eat."

Mrs. Lu looked towards the upper room and hesitated, "But..."

Qiao Ye understood immediately, "It's okay, grandma is here with me."

Mrs. Lu thought that Qiao Ye could indeed coax the old lady, so she felt relieved.

She nodded happily, "Okay!"

Don’t mention it, even though Wulang’s wife has only been married into the family for two days.

But it makes life better at home, which is great.

Qiao Ye brought the bowl of noodles to the old lady and coaxed her.

Sure enough, although the old lady felt distressed, she still did not object to everyone having a bowl of noodles.

Everyone in the Lu family ate happily and contentedly, and they all praised Wu Lang's wife in their hearts.

The younger generations like Qiao Ye more and more.

After dinner, Qiao Ye asked the Lu brothers to take a few men to the town and the county to sell candles.

She doesn't need to personally handle such trivial matters.

At the same time, they were reminded that if they accidentally met the scumbag eunuch's family, they should not reveal the secret of making candles.

Boss Lu and others are still angry with his younger brother Lu Qingrong.

Besides, since he had received benefits from Qiao Ye, he naturally listened to her.

They had gone to the city to sell things and find jobs before, so they were not afraid.

Following Qiao Ye's advice, he went out with the finished candles.

Qiao Ye took the female family members to make sheep oil candles.

In the county town, Lu Mei went out to buy things.

After arriving at the market, I inadvertently saw my fourth uncle and cousin setting up stalls to sell things, and I couldn't help but walk over quickly.
