Chapter 154: The Sheep Fat Candle
"Candles...!" Li Zhan groaned lightly, why didn't he think of this money-making thing earlier.
The white wax used now, at least five hundred wen, and it is scarce, you really can't afford to use it if you are not an ordinary nobleman, but Li Zhan knows a simple way to make candles.
It's a mutton fat candle.
The production is very simple, that is, you first make a basin, then put enough flour in the basin, press the porcelain as much as possible, and then poke the small rolling pin vertically into the dough, boil the mutton fat in the pan, pull out the rolling pin, pour the lanton fat while straightening the pre-made wick, the lanolin is cooled, and the candle is ready.
Although mutton fat is a good oil for the people at this time, compared with white wax, the cost of this mutton fat candle is much lower, and the cost of a mutton fat candle will definitely not exceed 30 yuan.
Now the price of an ash candle is 500 Wen, or is there no market.
If Li Zhan launches this kind of mutton fat candle, it costs 30 wen, and then sells it for 300 wen, some people may not be able to afford it, but Li Zhan believes that the middle-class family will definitely be able to afford it.
Thinking of this, Li Zhan immediately got up and said, "Child, is there mutton fat at home?" ”
Li Qian nodded and said, "Yes... Eldest brother... What are you going to do to eat? ”
Li Zhan laughed, touched Li Qian's little head and said, "Big brother is not making good food, big brother is making candles...!" ”
"Making candles?" Li Qian was surprised: "Use mutton fat? ”
Soon... The news that Li Zhan wanted to use mutton fat to make candles spread out, and everyone in the house came to see the excitement, and the one that surrounded Li Zhan was a leak, and everyone didn't believe it, but it was about two hours later.
After seeing Li Zhan take out about twenty yellow candles from the flour, everyone was stunned, and then did a lighting test, and one of the mutton fat candles made by Li Zhan lit up twice as long as the white wax candle.
Just when everyone was very happy, Li Jing'an said: "The method is simple, there is no confidentiality, it is easy to be stolen, and if some merchants follow suit, the profits will be knocked down." ”
Li Zhan also smiled and nodded, indeed, the production of mutton candles is too simple, even ordinary people can make it at home, without any technology, so it is not a long-term business, but... It's not a long-term business, but it's still possible to make a lot of money.
Li Zhan is ready to turn the mutton fat candle into a sharp weapon to squeeze the Tang aristocracy and the middle-class landlord class, Li Zhan believes that as long as he keeps it secret in the early stage, it should not be difficult to earn him one or two hundred million yuan.
It's late at night... After watching the activity of turning mutton fat into candles, everyone went to rest.
Li Zhan hugged Yang Qiao'er and slept sweetly on the bed, Li Zhan's hand was very dishonest, Yang Qiao'er let Li Zhan's dishonest hand slide on his body wantonly.
"Hey... Is Yue'er good? Suddenly, Yang Qiao'er said a word of Yue'er.
Li Zhan didn't think much about it and said, "It's good... The little guy is very cute, when he took care of me, although he was not as careful as you, but it was almost the same, and his mother's vision was still very good. ”
Li Zhan's praise made Yang Qiao'er's little face shake unconsciously, and then said, "You like Yue'er very much?" ”
"I like it..." As he spoke, Li Zhan took off Yang Qiao'er's coat.
"Wait..." Yang Qiao'er blocked Li Zhan's hand and said, "That... I called Yue'er in, the three of us...! ”
"Poof...!"
Before Yang Qiao'er's words were finished, Li Zhan said speechlessly: "What nonsense... How old is Yue'er? Still a child, what are you calling her in for...? ”
"It's not... I... Li Lang, I'm still not pregnant...! Yang Qiaoer immediately explained.
"What's wrong with you not being pregnant, I deliberately made you not pregnant." Li Zhan looked at Yang Qiao'er and said.
"Ahh It's just that Li Zhan didn't know that his words made Yang Qiaoer feel like a lightning strike, looking at Li Zhan, Yang Qiaoer's tears flowed down like this.
"Qiao'er, why are you crying, I... Did I say something wrong? Seeing Yang Qiaoer crying very sadly, Li Zhan on the side was also stunned, and hurriedly wiped Yang Qiaoer's tears, and kept asking Yang Qiaoer what was wrong?
After a while, Li Zhan understood that his sentence of deliberately making you not pregnant was the reason why Yang Qiaoer cried.
Li Zhan didn't want Yang Qiao'er to get pregnant, because Yang Qiao'er was very young, and such a young pregnancy was not only unhealthy for the fetus, but also unhealthy for women, so Li Zhan had always deliberately not let Yang Qiaoer get pregnant.
But Yang Qiaoer didn't think so, she became Li Zhan's wife, just to give birth to Li Zhan's children, the so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is the greatest, seven out of the article, the woman did not leave the husband's family, that is to be divorced.
You said what Li Zhan just said, how could you not make Yang Qiao'er cry.
You don't know, how much time did it take for Li Zhan to persuade Yang Qiao'er later, that was to abolish the strength of the old nose, and in the end, Yang Qiao'er forgave Li Zhan under Li Zhan's promise that she would not deliberately let her not get pregnant in the future.
Tossed until late at night, this is called a speechless...!
..............................
"Whoa... Whoa....! ”
Just after Li Zhan coaxed Yang Qiao'er, the rain in Chang'an fell heavier, and Chang'an was asleep, but it was in Liantian Village, which was about a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
At this time, the old and young masters of the whole village left their homes to carry dirt and stones for the only steep ridge in Liantian Village.
You know, today's heavy rain has caused the lake upstream of Liantian Village to skyrocket... If the steep ridge is not reinforced, once the steep ridge in Liantian Village is broken, then all the fertile land of nearly 50,000 mu downstream will be flooded.
In this flooding, at least 30,000 people will be homeless, so everyone in Liantian Village, which is closest to the steep ridge, will go out and fight to the death.
Thunder roared and rain poured down.
At this time, the village of Liantian Village was standing on the top of the steep ridge, looking at the lake with black waves, and shouted, "Pillar... You go and inform all the villagers, take out all the rice bags at home, and load them all with loess and transport them here to strengthen the steep ridge. ”
"Got it Muramasa...!" In the heavy rain, the pillar wiped his face fiercely and replied.
Then I heard the village leader shouting again: "Zhuzi, have the people who went to the county government come back, when will the county send people?" ”
"Hey...!" With a sigh, he heard the pillar reply: "Murazheng, don't wait for the people in the county, the people in the county all go to the north of the steep ridge, where there are 3,000 acres of Cui family's fields."
The county magistrate took the stone to fortify the north. ”
"What...?" The village of Liantian Village shouted: "We have 50,000 acres of land here, and the Cui family in the north only has 3,000 acres, what is this called...?" ”
"Muramasa... Who made us the people, the Cui family is a family, we can't compare to them...! ”
After Zhuzi's words were answered, the village leader of Liantian Village shook his head incessantly, and then heard the village master shout: "Okay... We don't expect it in the county, you can now bring people to inform the other villages, so that they can also come up the steep ridge.
There are too few people in our village. ”
"Got it... I'm going to go...! ”
"Boom...!" Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky!
