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

Lu Laosi and others all looked at Qiao Ye.

They couldn't help but ask: "How do you strike first?"

Qiao Ye replied: "Tell grandma to go to my father-in-law's house the day after tomorrow morning to catch the stolen goods."

“The Yu family is still having dinner at my father-in-law’s house, so they can make some noise.”

"Let the Yu family be too embarrassed to come and ask for money again."

"At least I don't have the face to come to the door for now."

She looked at the gloomy old lady again and said, "Grandma, why are you going to make trouble for this? Let my stepmother-in-law restrain herself."

"Otherwise, if we continue to subsidize my mother's family like this, no matter how much money our Lu family earns, it won't be enough to cover the cost."

"Grandma can also use this as an excuse to ask Lu Daya not to return to the village recently."

"After all, after she married into the Yu family, her heart was completely bent towards the Yu family."

"My stepmother-in-law subsidizes my natal family so much. As the granddaughter-in-law of the Yu family, she must know about it."

What hurts the old lady the most is the daughter-in-law's unconditional subsidies to her parents' home.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go there the day after tomorrow morning."

Qiao Ye said: "Let my eldest cousin keep an eye on it in the morning."

"Make sure that Old Lady Yu has taken her grandson to eat. Grandma will go when it's almost lunch time."

"It would be best to ask the wives of the elders in the clan to go with us, so that my stepmother-in-law and Old Lady Yu can't deny it."

"Grandma, it will be more legitimate for you to discipline your daughter-in-law."

Bad fathers and stepmother-in-law care most about reputation and face.

Then let them lose face again in the village.

The old lady also knew that her youngest daughter-in-law was the best at pretending, and she had been deceived before.

She has to clean it up. It would be bad if the other party went out and complained and cried, ruining her reputation.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call your cousins ​​to go."

Her husband has several brothers, and they have a good relationship and often visit each other.

If there is any problem in the village, everyone will stick together to deal with it.

It would be most appropriate to invite a few sisters-in-law to go.

It would be better to let my grandson keep an eye on it first, so that we can catch the stolen goods with almost no difficulty.

Then I couldn't help asking, "But I really didn't tell your father-in-law about making candles?"

"If he finds out later, will he blame us?"

The youngest son cares a lot about family matters and wants to know everything.

If you keep making candles for a long time, you will definitely not be able to hide it.

If this were to be known, wouldn't the youngest son be unhappy and create a rift between them?

I'm afraid she, as a mother, would also be resentful.

Qiao Ye could guess what the old lady was worried about.

She doted on and cared for her youngest son for so long, and she carried the hopes and expectations of the whole family.

It is simply impossible for the old lady to give up her young son in just a few days.

So she temporarily avoided her scumbag father-in-law.

"Grandma, I'm not afraid that my father-in-law will know."

"But I'm afraid that if my father-in-law finds out, my step-mother-in-law will know too."

"Once my stepmother-in-law knows about this, her family will know about it, too."

"There is a lot of pine resin on the mountain. The Yu family can also make pine oil candles to sell."

"Won't this immediately steal our business?"

She paused and said, "I know about pine oil candles, but are sheep oil candles far behind?"

"Pine oil candles are worthless, but sheep oil candles are our reliance for buying mountains!"

"If the Yu family learns it, they will just sell the recipe at a high price."

"Then let's not even think about earning this money anymore."

Although what she said was meant to scare the old lady, it was not alarmist.

With Yu Wanzhi's temperament of supporting her mother's family.

If I knew the formula for making candles with mutton fat, I would definitely tell my mother's family.

If they were worried about the Lu family finding fault, they could have simply not made it themselves, but instead sold the recipe for a large sum of money.

They will still be kept in the dark until then.

When the old lady and others heard this, they were shocked.

But it is indeed very likely to happen.

Lu Laosi couldn't help but say to the old lady: "Mom, our family's life is much harder than the Yu family's."

"It's rare to have two ways to make money. If the Yu family gets it, how will our family survive?"

Boss Lu and others also hurriedly agreed.

The three meals they had yesterday and today gave them hope for their future life.

I don’t want to go back to the days of having to eat coarse food.

Besides, why should the Yu family take away all the benefits of their Lu family?

The old lady was also upset, "Okay, then I won't tell Lao Wu."

"I shouldn't have agreed to let the fifth son marry Yu, the vixen."

"What has Old Five become obsessed with this?"

The others also agreed, but since the girl was already married, they had to take care of the fifth child, and there was nothing they could do.

After the family discussed it, the old lady gave stern instructions to the daughters-in-law and younger generations of the Lu family.

The recipe for making candles must never be leaked.

Anyone who dares to tell anyone will be kicked out of the house.

Although the daughters-in-law had some ulterior motives, they did not dare to disobey.

The younger generations had three good meals and they didn’t want their lives to go back to the way they were before, let alone go out and say anything nonsense.

After saying that, Boss Lu and others continued to make pine oil candles.

Qiao Ye continued to tinker with the mutton fat candles.

She first extracted pigments from the plants and fruits she picked, as well as the minerals she collected.

When the pigments are ready, put them in ceramic jars.

Only then did they go to refine mutton fat.

After refining, it was filtered once and then placed in a large wooden basin to cool.

It was not put into the mold.

After it cools down, add a kind of plant, put it in the pot again and boil it and filter it.

She filtered it several times until the oil reached the clarity and purity she wanted.

Then pour the oil into a small mold.

She asked her husband to carve this as an experiment.

For example, a plum blossom and a bamboo leaf.

Oil is poured into the mold, and before it is almost solidified, she starts to color it with paint.

After applying, wait for it to solidify.

After it was formed, I found that I was not satisfied because the color was either too dark or too light.

Or the solidified color is not what she wants.

So I took out these candles and threw them aside, preparing to use them at home.

Continue to re-adjust the color, apply color, and solidify.

Apart from this, she also added the seasoned spices.

I was not satisfied at first because the bamboo scent was either too strong, too light, or a bit stuffy.

Repeated perfume experiment.

It was not until before dinner that Qiao Ye was finally satisfied with the newly formed bamboo leaves.

The people of the Lu family saw how much she worked on the painting, and how the coloring and blending were extremely complicated.

And looking at those discarded candles, they think they look very beautiful.

But she was disgusted and dissatisfied.

Now I understand why mutton fat candles have become such a high-end brand.

Qiao Ye did not interfere with dinner and let Mrs. Lu continue to make the fried rice with egg that she taught her at noon.

She finished the fried rice quickly and hurried to continue making the candles.

The Lu family loves egg fried rice very much. Not only do they not think there is anything wrong with it, they are also particularly happy about it.

The old lady saw how hard Qiao Ye was working and fiddled with the sheep oil candles over and over again.

Although I still felt bad about eating eggs and white rice, I didn't object.

After dinner, Qiao Ye started making bamboo candles using a large mold.

After several failures, I finally made the bamboo candle.

When the bamboo candle is taken out of the mold.

Everyone in the Lu family stared with their eyes wide open.

I saw a bamboo more than one foot tall placed on the table.

Bamboo has bamboo poles and bamboo leaves, which are lush and lifelike.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's a real bamboo from a distance.

There is a small piece of cotton thread at the top of each leaf.

Qiao Ye lit it.

More than a dozen leaves were lit together, the candlelight was very bright, and the whole room was lit up.

In Qiao Ye's opinion, a fully lit bamboo candle is almost as bright as a modern desk lamp.

Then a fresh, elegant and pleasant bamboo fragrance spread.

The people in the old Lu family just thought it smelled so good and the candles were so bright.

The candles lit on each leaf also look unique and beautiful.

They didn't expect that candles could be made like this.

What a great experience.

This will look bright like real bamboo, a beautiful and fragrant bamboo candle.

The people of the old Lu family finally understood.

Why did Wulang's wife say that candles made from sheep fat could be sold for three or five taels of silver?

At this moment, they looked at the candle and thought it must be very expensive.

I sighed in my heart again, Wulang’s wife is so awesome!
