Chapter 122: Buying Candles

Huang Pingcheng is alone at home, thinking of ways to weave beautiful and different lotus lanterns.

However, Huang Pingcheng came up with several kinds of beautiful lotus flowers.

One is that a large lotus flower is woven in the middle, and the four corners of the big lotus flower in the middle are derived from four small lotus flowers, like the stars and the moon.

The center of the five lotus flowers is woven with bamboo pieces to weave a lotus canopy into it, which can be used as a lotus canopy, or a candle can be placed in it, and it can be placed directly in the river for lighting.

The second is that Huang Pingcheng weaves a lotus pendant out, the lotus weaving is small and exquisite, only larger than an egg, can be hung on the waist or a fan, the top is used a cyan rope from the main lotus flower through, and the bottom is to make the cyan rope into a spike, very delicate and good-looking.

Another kind of lotus lantern that can be carried in the hand, the hand rod is cut from bamboo, and the lotus flower woven below has a single flower, and there is also a lantern with four small lotus flowers derived from the four corners of the big lotus flower that was woven before.

After waiting for three days, after the Huang family removed the stones and weeds in the newly purchased foundation, the Huang family removed the two Huang Congjiang brothers who were busy with the foundation.

All the others joined in the weaving of lotus lanterns.

Most of them were woven before Huang Pingcheng weaved those three kinds of lotus.

After that, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Pingcheng to weave a lotus leaf with the bottom biased to one side, and the lotus leaf slowly weaved a white lotus on the top of the lotus leaf.

After that, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Pingcheng to weave a lotus flower in the shape of a finished glyph.

Huang Yiyun estimated that he had woven five kinds of lotus flowers at home, some of which were hung around his waist, some of which were carried in his hands, and some of which could be put on lotus lanterns.

"I wonder how the candles in the town are sold?" Huang Yiyun, who was playing on the side, asked.

Now there are only five days left before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Now the atmosphere of the festival has become more and more intense, and some people have begun to sell lanterns again.

However, when Huang Yiyun went to the town once, he found that most of the lanterns sold in the town were woven with a mixture of paper and bamboo strips.

It's not like the Huang family, it's all woven out of bamboo strips one by one.

Not only is the handmade dense and sturdy, Huang Yiyun put a lotus flower into the river in Qingshan Village, and saw that the self-woven lotus slowly floated into the distance, and the lotus flower would not sink until it disappeared.

The lotus flower made by himself is delicate and beautiful, and I am afraid that on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, when the lotus lantern is placed, it can be sold at a good price.

"Aren't the candles sold in town cheap? For this section, it will cost ten copper plates. Huang gestured from the river's hand.

Huang Yiyun has been to the grocery store in the town, bought things, and knows that section, that is, about ten centimeters long, but Huang Yiyun didn't expect it to be so expensive.

"Dad, when the Dragon Boat Festival puts the lotus lantern, the lotus will be lit with candles to put the lamp, when the time comes, the candles should be sold again, the lotus flowers made by our family, although you can light the lamps and put the lights, but the lotus flowers are sold, and there are no candles, the people who sold our lotus flowers are going to buy candles, Dad, you say, one thing, let people go to two places, delay people's time is not." Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.

"It costs a lot of money to buy candles, and we don't know how many candles to buy, in case we buy them back, if we can't sell them again, won't we have to smash them in our hands." When Huang Liu heard this, he immediately hesitated.

"Actually? We don't need to buy candles, we can directly negotiate with the owner of the grocery store in the town, how many candles we want, we can give him all the money for the candles first, if we can't sell them, the candles will be returned to the owner of the grocery store, and let him refund the money to us. Huang Congjiang's heart moved.

"You don't need to have such a long candle in the lotus lamp." Huang Li said.

"This is easy to do, we can directly cut off a candle, cut it into four sections, sell three copper plates in a section, I estimate that a candle can also burn for a short time, at least when the lotus lantern is placed, it will not be burned out, the price and length are just right, and the person who buys the lotus lantern will not be too expensive." Huang Yiyun smiled and replied.

"High, it's really high, in this way, we can make money by selling lotus lanterns, or we can batch a batch of candles to sell, and we can also make a sum of money." After Huang Congjiang heard the eldest sister say this, his eyes lit up, and he raised his thumb to Huang Yiyun and said.

It's just that Huang Congjiang's tone was full of pity.

If only the eldest sister were a male baby, our old Huang family would make a fortune, and the family business would be able to rely on the eldest sister.

It's just that the eldest sister is a girl, even if it's a girl herself, it's not rare, it's just that the eldest sister will get married sooner or later, and I don't know which kid is cheaper.

"Then, mother, I'll go to the grocery store in town and ask about candles." After Huang Congjiang felt that what the eldest sister said was feasible, he couldn't sit still.

"Well, Cheng, my mother will take some money, and I'll try to get a hundred candles first." Huang Li thought for a while and said.

"Mother, you give me more money, if you can put the money where to put it first, let's get more, anyway, this thing is small, and it can be packed in a basket without getting in the way." Huang Congjiang did not hesitate.

"Okay." In the end, Huang Li gave three taels of silver.

Most of the lotus flowers woven by the Huang family during this period were woven out of lotus lanterns that could be put out.

It is estimated that there are thousands of candles now, and according to the market price of candles, one of ten copper plates can buy three hundred.

If 300 candles can be cut into four sections, that is another 1,200 pieces.

In addition, there is still some time to go, and some lotus flowers can be weaved, and the number of candles and lotus flowers is almost equal.

As for the lotus flower that can be hung on his waist, it is just a small thing, Huang Pingcheng doesn't plan to weave it more, just sell it by the way.

Huang Yiyun saw that the small lotus flower was quite good-looking, so he specially asked the third sister to weave it by herself, and the big lotus lamp was woven by the adults.

Originally, after Huang Pingcheng saw the eldest sister teaching the third sister to weave those little lotus lanterns, he originally wanted to say that it was a waste of time and not to weave those things.

After Huang Pingcheng thought about it, he had slapped his face many times before, but he still couldn't help but say these words.

The lotus flower that can be hung on the waist is small and beautiful, but the weaving does not require much material, the hands and feet are fast, and the time for a cup of tea is less than that you can weave one.

It's just that after weaving out, the lower ears need to be made into tassels one by one with a knife.
