183 Candle Making (2nd Shift)

There were a lot of people left in the house all of a sudden, and it seemed to be very deserted, but no, Cheng Ronggui came over as usual, and the family came and went to deliver furniture, and sometimes there were deliveries, where it was deserted.

Cheng Ronggui only knew that Cheng Changqing's family was going out that day, after all, it was very late when Cheng Zhaoer and Cheng Changqing discussed this matter last night, and early this morning, Cheng Changqing's family was ready to leave.

Just when Cheng Rong returned, he knew it.

He saw that only Cheng Zhaoer and his two younger brothers were at home, and secretly thought that he would leave late at night, otherwise he would really not be at ease!

At this time, Li invited a matchmaker with a good reputation to help him find a daughter-in-law.

I asked him before, but what kind of girl do you like, although Cheng Ronggui was a little shy when he heard this, he still shook his head seriously.

Knowing that the Li family wanted to help him find it, he only said: "Uncle doesn't need to worry too much, I don't have any ideas, as long as the girl can take care of family affairs, just be reasonable!" ”

When Li thinks about it, he knows why he has this condition, and the situation of their family just needs a council member and a reasonable person? If there is another Qiu family, this Cheng Changfu family will really be ruined!

In the end, I still privately told the matchmaker: What kind of character is this girl's father and brother, and ask the matchmaker to help take a look.

Cheng Zhaoer is still as busy at home as before, but now she has one more thing, that is, cooking.

In the past, Cheng Zhao'er helped cook a lot, and most of the work was taken care of by the Li family, but when the Li family was not there, she just had more work.

In the afternoon, she was surprised. Ouyang Jing actually came in person.

Cheng Zhao'er thought that he would be with her forever in the future, but now it seems that this is a relief.

Ouyang Jing really relieved himself, and he didn't know what to think, but he finally returned to normal.

It seems that he forgot about this matter, and talking to Cheng Zhaoer is not as "serious" and embarrassing as the last time he went to the meal.

As soon as he came over, he didn't see outside, and took Zhuqing to open the door one by one to find it, and said, "Where is the oil?" ”

Glancing at Zhu Qing, who was also following him, he picked up the folding fan and knocked him on the head: "What are you doing with Young Master Ben?" Don't go looking for something good. Cheng Zhao'er's family has nothing else special, I haven't eaten this delicious food for a long time. ”

Cheng Zhao'er, who was standing aside and looking at his lively appearance, suddenly felt that the breath in his heart was completely relaxed, which is good.

Ouyang Jing is this person. If it weren't for the fact that my heart was really a little bit lowered. He'll be awkward with you all the time. The typical kind is not good, and others don't think about it.

However, if he is now willing to return to his old friendship again and open his heart. Cheng Zhao'er knew that he must have put down at least five or six points.

In time, he will be able to let go completely.

Of course, how Cheng Zhaoer wished that she was self-inflicted, and hoped that Ouyang Jing was only a little interested in herself, so that she felt a little better.

Therefore, she didn't mention the embarrassment between the two of them in the town two days ago, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "You just came to my house to eat and drink?" I tell you, eat the snacks I make, but you will give money. ”

Ouyang Jing glanced at Cheng Zhao'er with disdain: "Come on, it's really ...... to get into the eyes of money."

The little guy Zhuqing had already smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away, looking at the direction, he was really running to Cheng Zhao'er's kitchen!

In the hall, Cheng Zhao'er instructed Ouyang Jing to take out the barrel of oil, perhaps because the temperature in the room was high, the oil was not completely solidified, and it was not like yesterday, Ouyang Jing looked at it carefully for a while, then took a small dish that was placed aside, and took out a little.

Glancing at Zhu Qing, who had finished taking the snacks on the side, Zhu Qing stepped forward smartly, took out the flint, and lit the fire at once.

A small flake of cottonseed oil on the plate flared up, and the oil was quickly consumed.

Ouyang Jing nodded with satisfaction: "This is really a good thing, and it doesn't smell bad!" ”

Cheng Zhao'er said on the side: "What, make the best use of such things, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Ouyang Jing didn't forget to roll his eyes at Cheng Zhao'er, and said angrily: "Don't be so proud of your woman, if you don't meet a kind person like me, no one will know that you will be stripped of your skin and bones!" ”

Cheng Zhao'er knew that this was indeed the case, if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet the Ouyang family, she was afraid that she would have been possessed by unscrupulous merchants eight hundred years earlier, but she knew it in her heart, but she couldn't let Ouyang Jing be so proud, besides, if it wasn't for the good friendship, would she still share so much silver from him, and even spare no effort to pour up cottonseed oil.

Therefore, Ouyang Jing didn't talk about her, without her, the Ouyang family would not have been able to get such a big benefit.

He only said: "Hmph, it's you who has gained a lot of benefits, and your mouth is still unforgiving, and if you do this, you can be careful that I want more shares!" ”

Ouyang Jing flattered at the moment: "Yes, yes, the small one is wrong, you adults have a lot, don't toss the small one!" ”

The two of them grinded their mouths, and the unpleasantness of some time ago seemed to have completely disappeared, and Cheng Zhaoer said: "It's okay to make the lamp oil in the oil lamp, I think it's not bad to make candles." ”

"Do you know the ingredients in the red and white candles that we use now? Most of them are processed from the fat on the livestock mixed with other things. "Therefore, the price of candles is quite expensive! Basically, ordinary people mostly use oil lamps, and candles will only be used in red and white things!

Cheng Zhaoer remembered that when he originally visited the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, he had specially gone to learn about it. Qin Shi Huang Benji records that in the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, "the mermaid paste is used as a candle, and the immortal one lasts for a long time".

It's really extravagant to think about it, and now I don't know what kind of candles are used for lighting in the palace of Great Xia!

Thinking of this, he asked it out of his mouth.

Ouyang Jing's eyes lit up completely when she heard Cheng Zhao'er's proposal, she had mentioned it briefly before, and he also took it to heart, and specially found a craftsman who could make candles to find out, it was indeed as Cheng Zhao'er said! He thinks a lot more than Cheng Zhao'er, in the future, cotton will blossom and bear fruit in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are too many cotton seeds, how many candles will this make? In the future, even the common people may be able to use candles every day.

This is a big deal, think about it, and think of the Qin family who is good friends with him, isn't Qin Jingshi the county master here? I have to pluck him about this, when the time comes, his cottonseed oil can be bought and sold smoothly, and Yu Qin Jingshi is also beneficial, the local political achievements are outstanding, and there is such an initiative among the people, it is considered one of his official examinations, isn't it? (To be continued......)
