Bianshanhan [farming]

Being stared at by a crowd, Li Qingwen lit the twine, the flame trembled tremblingly, and soon burned the wax oil underneath.

In a breath-holding concentration, the wax oil was melted into a puddle, and the flames became more and more prosperous.

"It's really done!" Someone yelled, in a serious tone, and almost blew out the fire. Jiang Cong quickly reached out to protect the fire.

Li Qingwen pulled his hand down, it was also very hot.

Everyone stared at Li Qingwen, and some who were more experienced said, "My boy, you can make candles out of something you don't know anything about!"

Ma Yongjiang didn't have a headache at this time, and said: "I thought this thing would burn quickly, so I put it back on purpose."

"If this thing burns without poison, it can be used as a candle!" Li Qingwen was also very excited.

"Let me smell it!" Hu Lichuan leaned in front of the candlelight, took two deep breaths of the blue smoke that came out of the burning, accidentally choked on it, and sneezed several times.

Everyone dispersed in disgust, and Hu Lichuan suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang", with both eyes rolled outside.

Li Qingwen was stunned, he fell down after smelling it twice, is this thing so poisonous? !

Many people were also stunned. Old Sun pouted, raised his foot, and kicked Hu Lichuan's ass.

The people on the ground cried out in pain, jumped up clutching their buttocks, turned around and chased after Lao Sun, while the others gritted their teeth and rushed forward to hold Hu Lichuan down, pressing his shoulders and getting close to the candlelight. suck.

Li Qingwen: "..."

There was not much wax oil in the first place, but Hu Lichuan sucked it fiercely, and it burned very fast, and it burned to the end soon.

After the twine was completely extinguished, everyone let go of Hu Lichuan. At this time, he was already honest, and said, "It just smells a bit fuzzy, but I don't smell anything else."

It's not that there will be a burnt smell, his nose hair is burnt! !

"It deserves it!" Everyone didn't sympathize with him at all.

It seemed to be all right. Li Qingwen's eyes were filled with silver at the moment, and he couldn't see anything. He asked, "How much can this candle sell for?"

Every household in Yangshu Village is reluctant to use oil lamps, let alone candles.

The whole house fell silent.

Li Qingwen couldn't believe it, there were so many of them, no one could use candles at home?

Lao Sun said, "I remember that the Hongzhou government government bought pine cones for city defense for ten Wen a piece, and tied it to a torch and burned it for more than two hours."

Jiang Liping stroked his chin and said, "There are candles among the local tributes in Jinzhou, I heard they are not cheap, Ma Yongjiang, do you know?"

Seeing everyone looking over, Ma Yongjiang wrapped the quilt tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "My uncle's house has it, and it's only sold in the main house. I didn't ask how much it was. It's about a few tens of pennies. No matter how expensive it is, my aunt might not want to burn it."

Ma Yongjiang's uncle is very rich, and the reason why his family can live better is because of his help.

After hearing dozens of words, Li Qingwen's ears immediately perked up, and his mind was full of candles, silver, candles, silver...

Then, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed Jiang Cong's arm, "Brother, we are going to get rich!"

Jiang Cong wrapped his arms around him and nodded repeatedly, "Our son is going to make a lot of money."

Li Qingwen turned to look at Ma Yongjiang, "You said earlier that there are many fruits?"

Ma Yongjiang nodded, "On the trees and on the ground... If you sell candles to make money, remember to have my share of the credit!"

"Of course!" Li Qingwen probably knew that many families in Daliang didn't use candles, so he suddenly felt that it was a good business.

Li Maoxian also listened brightly, and suddenly said: "Zai'er, this thing is only available in border towns? Isn't it going to be done here..."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly woke up. Yes, it would be a bit too laborious to make candles here and then transport them back to sell them.

Of course, effort is effort, this thing is valuable, and the trouble is worth it!

This sentence also awakened Li Qingwen. He recalled the documentary he watched in the past, and said: "This is not necessarily the case. As long as the shell can get wax, most of them can be used as candles, such as the oak tree..."

Just as he was recalling what the Sumac family had, his words were suddenly interrupted.

"Ash tree?!" Gao Yubao, who had been listening quietly all this time, stood up abruptly, "Ash, ash, ash, we have a lot...head, head, you have been to our place, that is the area on the east mountain... "

He talked incoherently for a long time, and Jiang Liping explained: "There are many oak trees in his hometown, I don't know if it is the kind you mentioned."

Then, Gao Yubao told Li Qingwen what the cotinus tree in their house looked like with gestures and words. Li Qingwen only glanced at the film, so he couldn't remember it, but when he heard the cotinus tree fruit, he was quite surprised. picture.

The already happy crowd became even more excited. There is a cotinus tree in Hongzhou. Wouldn't it be more convenient if they could make candles in their hometown? !

It was already late at night, and everyone was not sleepy at all, and they were all talking about candles.

What Li Qingwen thinks is, make candles, make money, make life easier for the family, save money, save people... Others think more, if the family can also make candles together, make money, life will be easier...

Being forced into the bed by Jiang Cong, Li Qingwen's eyes were still shining, "Brother, if you leave the border town, what do you want to do in the future?"

Jiang Cong hadn't spoken yet, and the people beside him were overjoyed. The horoscope hadn't been written yet, and they were all thinking about things so far away!

Li Qingwen didn't find it ridiculous at all, and said: "You have to think about it now, or it will be too late later."

Jiang Cong thought about it seriously, and said, "If I can leave here, I'll send you home first."

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment, "I can go home by myself."

Jiang Cong said: "If you send brother to the border town, brother must also send you home well."

Li Qinghong then asked: "Zai'er, have you ever calculated how many candles are needed to earn more than 20 taels of silver?"

Li Qingwen calculated in his mind, based on the maximum of [-] to [-] Wen a candle, it would cost millions of candles...

It is indeed not a small sum, Li Qingwen thought, where there is a will, there is a way!

This night, Li Qingwen had a dream. He dreamed that people kept throwing ingots at him, and he couldn't count them. When he was half asleep and half awake, he still muttered, "This is too many, come and help me count, Is it enough for 28 taels..."

Then he heard a chuckle in his ear.

Li Qingwen opened his eyes, first he saw Jiang Cong's tall nose, and then he saw the slightly curved corners of his eyes. Good-looking is good-looking, but there is no money...

After a few more glances, Li Qingwen closed his eyes again, no, he had to catch up with the dream just now.

It's a pity that Jiang Cong couldn't understand his painstaking efforts. He reached out to bring in the clothes from the outside, and a cool "swish" came in.Li Qingwen shrank his neck, thinking he could hold back a little longer.

The clothes that had just been taken out of the bed were still cold, the long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain, Li Qingwen moaned in pain, and pushed his legs into his trouser legs.

The short and long time of getting up in winter is comparable to ten tortures.

What's even worse is that this torture happens every day, which really makes people want to cry without tears.

From the moment Li Qinghong opened his eyes until he finished dressing, "Little nephew gets up faster than you."

"He cries every time he wakes up in cold weather." Li Qingwen sucked his nose and said, "I didn't cry."

Looking at his son and thinking of his little grandson, Li Maoxian couldn't help laughing.

Although the matter of making candles made the big guys very excited, but now they have to do what General Lin ordered and prepare to go out to find medicinal materials.

The five things they were looking for - cistanche, purple ganoderma, mink fur, bear's paw, and bear bile.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gang died, and they went around a lot, and they had to deal with Xiong!

It can be said that good fortune tricks people!

Jiang Liping asked Zhou Yao to pack her things well, but the day before her departure, Zhou Yao came and said that Lin Xiuyun would also go with her.

Jiang Liping frowned, "Our trip is very dangerous. I don't know if I can take you with me. I can't take care of you, and I can't bring other irrelevant people with me."

Zhou Yao understood his consideration, and said: "She heard that I was going out, and it was the first time she spoke, and I told her that she might get hurt or die, but she didn't care, so please take it with me, or I'll go If she commits suicide again, she will still die."

Zhou Yao insisted on interceding, Jiang Liping was really helpless, he was not afraid of death, how could he persuade him?

Finally, he nodded.

On this day, I packed all the bags and food, and the next morning, I took them out and tied them to the sledge. After everything was settled, I set off.

Together with sweet dates and mules, they lined up ten sledges in a long line, and one after another they got out of the stone wall.

Jiang Cong led the way. Li Qingwen and him sat on a sledge with wooden sticks under their buttocks. After walking for a long time, Li Qingwen was about to go down. Reality.

Although it may be blown down by the wind, as long as one can stand upright, it will be useful!

He didn't want Jiang Cong to bother his eyes any more. It was a bit scary last time, and he was still a little scared in retrospect.

Zhou Yao and Lin Xiuyun sat on the sledge in the middle. It was the first time for Zhou Yao to wear snow goggles.Lin Xiuyun sat upright like a log, looking into the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

She was born very good-looking, and even in her current appearance, she did not lose any of her beauty.

Among these five things, cistanche cistanche and purple ganoderma lucidum were unknown, so I had to get mink fur, bear paws, and bear bile first.

In addition to these few things, the fruits that Ma Yongjiang picked before were also added, which is very important to them.

Li Qingwen wanted a little more than others, and that was to make bows and arrows for Jiang Cong.

There were minks and bears in the forest where they were hunted before, but they had just hunted, and now the prey may have escaped, so it is better to change the place.

As soon as Li Qingwen left the camp, he couldn't distinguish east from west, north from south, so he made a nest with fur on the sledge, with only half of his head exposed.

The newly made sledge is light and spacious, and four people can sit comfortably on it.

Li Qingfeng was the most excited. He was looking forward to this day when he was at home, and it finally came! !

Compared with him, Ma Yongjiang seemed a little mentally weak. The last time he was attacked by tigers and bears made him have nightmares for many days. After finally getting better, he came out to hunt bears again. Now his legs are starting to weaken.
