Chapter 57: General Dripping Wax

Carrier pigeon delivery, this is a VIP service, compared to those post stations or freight terminals to send people, this ordinary service, this is obviously more reliable, and not easy to lose, after all, carrier pigeon this kind of thing flies fast, if it is not a heart, who will have nothing to shoot carrier pigeon!

Li Hang is still enduring the nonsense of the Zhao family here.

It's okay to come to eat and drink every day, but the most deplorable thing is that these people simply use their homes as bathhouses.

"Li Hang! What a life you've had! ”

At night, looking at the starry lights in Li Hang's room, Zhao Haikuo sighed with emotion, what a luxury, he actually lit the lamp!

You must know that in these years, whether you are a common person or an emperor's family, lighting a lamp is an extremely luxurious thing, because lighting a lamp burns oil, and it is not animal fat, but vegetable oil!

That is to say, those sesame oil, soybean oil and other things are rarely eaten in these years, but used to light lamps, although the best material is tung oil, but tung oil is not necessarily everywhere.

This kind of precious product is very rare, and the price is rising, so light the lamp! Hehe, it's just a lack of money.

But when he saw the white columnar in Li Hang's room, he was stunned.

What is this?

Lao Tzu's general's mansion does not have anything.

Curiously, he walked over and looked at Li Hang holding a small saucer, and there was a pillar standing in the saucer, and there was a little flame on this pillar!

"Hey! What is it? Zhao Haikuo touched the candle with his hand like a bear child.

As soon as I grabbed it in my hand, a big lump of white ash dripped down from it.

It landed directly on the back of his big hands.

The corners of Li Hang's eyes twitched.

Nima was serious and fierce in ancient times, playing with a lit candle, and at first he said that there was a fire or something, and the wax dripping on his hand alone was estimated to be enough for him.

But Zhao Haikuo is the same as someone who has nothing to do. "How hot I should be, it's quite comfortable!"

Do you feel comfortable dripping wax?

Li Hang wondered if this Zhenbei general had awakened some strange attributes.

But after watching him tear off the wax block with his hand and pluck out a handful of hair, things are even more strange.

The old man drips wax like this, tear it!

Drip wax! Tear!

"Hey! Can this thing also shed hair? ”

Li Hang was speechless for a while.

You are always a general, can you not do such a misleading act, you must know that if someone drips wax on yourself in front of you, it will be placed in the next generation, it is like a pervert.

And it's also the kind of big BT that makes his special preferences public.

General Dripping Wax put down the candle with a comfortable face. Then he looked at Li Hang. "Stinky boy, there are such good things, why don't you take them out?"

Ha?

Candles or a good thing?

Li Hang shook his head. "This thing is made by the same process as soap. It's just that at the time, I thought that this thing was not very expensive, so I put it away and prepared it for my own use. ”

Being able to light candles at night means that you can have a nightlife.

Instead of sitting on the edge of the bed at night as it is now, telling stories to his wife and sister-in-law by moonlight to pass the time.

Moreover, there are candles to see my wife at night, which is a unique flavor! The charm is the same as when modern people want to turn on the lights! Don't tell me anything, it's the same when you turn off the lights!

"If this thing can be sent to the palace, it can be a tribute along with soap!"

"Tribute?" This time, it was Li Hang's turn to be frightened.

This soap candle is just an ordinary thing, at most it is made of lard, but the soap is made of caustic soda, and the candle is the hydrochloric acid water formed after the soap is made and heated in brine.

Li Hang learned this kind of thing when he was a child, but he didn't return it to the teacher.

But this is not the most precious, these impurities are removed, the water is evaporated, and finally one is filtered, which is glycerin.

That's what really matters. And Li Hang doesn't know what to do with this thing yet, I'm afraid that if he waits until winter, he can only do things to maintain his skin.

Li Hang's eyes narrowed. "You're saying that if it can be sent to the palace, it will be a tribute? As long as the workmanship is beautiful, it will be better! ”

The candle workmanship is beautiful or not depends on the mold, and these few in his hand are made of random bad molds, if you want to use it for the emperor, it is estimated that you have to add some dyes and dye it into some festive colors, after all, white candles are really a bit like those used in funerals.

"You boy! If I hadn't stayed here today, I wouldn't know how long! Zhao Haikuo said hatefully.

His sons have already been pulled out to change the guard, and more than a thousand soldiers are now only more than 100 guarding the barracks, and he only brought two personal guards with him, as for Zhao Feilong, who had red lips and white teeth, he also followed him.

Over there, I'm listening to my sister-in-law's milky storytelling.

"Then what happened to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the end?" Zhao Feilong's hands clenched tightly, staring at Zhou Xin with a pair of eyes.

This is the first time that little Lori has heard someone begging her to tell a story, and her vanity is immediately bursting!

"Then they were buried together, and with a bang, they turned into butterflies and flew away!"

Little Lori said while imitating the appearance of a butterfly and running.

"Butterflies! Not bad, at least even if they're dead, they're still together! Zhao Feilong was quite emotional, and seemed to be very interested in this story.

Li Hang sighed. "Xiao Xin! Go jump rope! Take Peng Peng and Hao Jun's boys! ”

The food has been good for a while, and a group of boys who were originally a little yellow have obviously gained weight.

Li Hang doesn't want a group of fat apprentices, as the saying goes, a big head and a thick neck are not big money. This group of guys definitely can't be big money now, but they are really developing towards the guys.

For example, the little fat man Hao Jun.

Li Hang learned to be obedient this time.

obediently listened to Zhao Haikuo's words, went to the market to buy a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil and stored it.

I also got some wheat by the way.

There are many children in the family, and the family always has to get some snacks out, and it is impossible to always let them eat fried food.

Of course, the best choice for non-fried foods is sweets, and it is difficult to get white sugar these days, but it is not very difficult to get some maltose.

It's just that this time he went out, Li Hang was targeted by the shopkeeper Su.

"Li Xiucai went out!"

"Li Xiucai! Shopping, our Su family has it! I'll give it to you! ”

An old face is about to be attached to Li Hang's head, but at this time Li Hang has no objection, anyway, as long as he wants, he can play as much as he wants, as long as it is not excessive, but this Su shopkeeper is now sending food and pork, and Li Hang is a little confused.

He didn't know the competition in the court, and he didn't know how serious the matter of private salt was.

However, he knew very well that the attitude of the Su family seemed to have really changed.

Shopkeeper Su has become Shopkeeper Su again! As for that Su Yu, it seems that he has been grounded.

Although I don't know how Shopkeeper Su did it, Li Hang is very happy, at least cooperating with an old acquaintance is much better than cooperating with a person with ulterior motives.
