Chapter 137: In the future, people will be grateful to me for the candles in the cave room!

"Husband Jun Mo is not Yuyue?"

The look of confusion in Xiang Liyue's eyes quickly blurred, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

As an engineering dog, she has also encountered problems that cannot be solved for a while, and she fights at night.

Outcome......

Not to mention that the soybean oil wick needs to be provoked from time to time, otherwise it will be extinguished.

Just the range of the lamp, how long the platform is, it can illuminate such an area at most......

And the brightness is even more obscure, and the article has to be put to the heart to see it word by word.

If you want to write, you have to lie on your stomach more and more......

Every time I finish studying, the next day I will definitely have sour eyes, back pain, and neck cramps.

Xiang Liyue has thought about how to make the oil lamp burn more vigorously and brightly......

Unfortunately, there is no other way but to enlarge the lamp and inject more soybean oil.

On the other hand, this oil is also easy to sprinkle and easily induce fire.

Now, Zhao Zihu said that there is a lamp that can be very bright, and the palm size can burn for hundreds of days......

How could she not be confused?

Although the words and deeds of this stubborn tiger were finally confirmed, without a little water.

But she still selfishly lowered her demands.

Don't say it's lit up for hundreds of days, right?

It can illuminate half a room, order a day and a night, and it is enough!

When Zhao Zihu saw Xiang Liyue's reaction like this, he knew that he had to give her a fact that spoke louder than words.

He strode forward, took her hand and left.

When he stepped out of the tent, he thought of something again, and he turned around and ordered: "Who is going to call Li You, find Xu Fu and ask for some saltpeter." ”

Since someone rushed to cheer, they ran by the side with a puff of smoke, and the other cold-blooded thirteen eagles knew that there was something interesting again, and Hulala followed behind the two.

Zhao Zihu took Xiang Liyue and went straight to the shallow where the big fish was, beckoning Ganluo to come closer.

"But please show me!"

"Cut a big vat of fish fat. Remember! Do not cut the skin. Prepare another bundle of wicks, six to eight bamboo tubes, right? Then a big iron kettle, two copper basins, and a gauze ......"

Looking at the black fish skin and white fish skin that were each opened by four cranes and long ropes, and there were twenty-five by four tents, Zhao Zihu quickly made arrangements.

While he was instructing things, he sat down with Xiang Liyue on the thick mat brought by Ganluo, and set up a gauze tent on top to shade the sun.

"Yui~"

Hu Hai and other sons also arranged the gauze tent and seats, and Gan Luo was ordered to quickly retreat and start arranging things.

Li You soon arrived with a servant carrying a bag of saltpeter.

Subsequently, the things that Zhao Zihu needed were also placed in front of him.

Ganluo also gave four people very thoughtfully.

Zhao Zihu took a sip of tea and began to instruct: "Quickly start a fire, like cooking, add a drop of water, and put the bucket of sebum in the pot to force out the oil......"

This step will take about half an hour, and he is not in a hurry, during which he also asked people to raise another big pot and cook some thirst-quenching medicinal soup, which was sent to the sharp soldiers and the people who decomposed the big fish.

"Do you think that when this oil comes out, it can be used to make candles? No, no, no. This oil is the best and purest, and it has to be preserved as soon as possible, as the raw material of the cream! ”

Seeing that Zhao Zihu asked the craftsman to be careful and salvage the oil floating in the top layer of the iron kettle into the copper basin, Xiang Liyue asked curiously: "Oh? So where does the oil come from? ”

Zhao Zihu smiled silently, watching the craftsmen beat all the clear oil, and if they beat it again, it would be the kind of maroon muddy oil, he immediately asked them to stop, and put a large lump of oil residue in the iron kettle into gauze and pound it into fine pieces.

"That's it! Put half of the water in the iron kettle, wrap the oil residue in gauze, and boil it in it. There will be a lot of oil when boiled, and the color is darker, which is whale wax! ”

The four of them operated meticulously according to what Zhao Zihu said, but he asked one of them to free his hands to carry out the matter of saltpeter ice making, which was to make the first oil cool and solidify faster and easier to preserve.

Zhao Zihu then ordered a few people to cut the wick, hang it on the bamboo tube, break the oil cake into small pieces, boil it in the small copper pot, and pour it into the bamboo tube one by one.

"The bamboo tube is sealed, leaving only a section of the wick. The wick is soaked in oil wax and soon the whole strip will be wet! Therefore, it is advisable to leave it longer than short, so that it is convenient to cut the ...... later."

Zhao Zihu stopped talking for a while, wiped his sweat, drank all the Chinese medicine soup, and then said: "The bamboo tube is soaked in ice water, wait for three quarters of an hour, take it out, scrape it open, and it will be a palm-sized candle!" ”

It was the height of summer, staring at the iron kettle one pot after another, boiling oil and boiling water, Mo said that he felt unstoppable in the heat, and the four craftsmen were sweating......

Xiang Liyue, Diao Chan, Li You, Hu Hai, these stinky younger brothers also breathed hot air. Oh! Diao Chan sneaked back when he was boiling oil.

Although they couldn't stand the heat, they were amazed to see that the paste formed by the first oil was clean beige, and the oil cake turned into the second oil was a leathery light brown with powder.

Diao Chan deliberately pretended not to take the first oil of the cream seriously, so he asked, "Is this good?" How do I feel, the color of these two oils is better, a little festive. ”

Xiang Liyue stared at the bamboo tube in the ice water, and couldn't wait: "It's a pity! It's barely noon, and it's been a long time before dark, so I don't know how effective this candle is. ”

Zhao Zihu shook his head, and then looked at the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles, and even Gan Luo and the four craftsmen were looking forward to Yazi, and he smiled: "It's not easy!" Come with me......"

He stepped forward and took the lead, and everyone hurriedly followed, and the craftsmen directly lifted the bucket of ice water.

Gan Luo also wanted to take a look, but because his duty was to break down the big fish, he could only pace in frustration.

Soon, everyone realized that Gongzi Zihu actually went straight to the flying clipping boat.

Xiang Liyue also reacted, and the day was dark under the bilge, which was the best place to test candles.

Under the guidance of Li You, Zhao Zihu and others got on a flying clipper ship nearby, carefully cut off the bamboo tube shell on the deck, took the eight candles that had been shaped, and everyone quickly got out of the cabin.

"Huh! Don't rush to go. Brother Zihu, give me one too, I'll play with it! As she walked, Diao Chan chirped and pleaded.

Zhao Zihu gave it, laughed and laughed, and asked Xiang Liyue: "Don't you want it?" Yue'er. ”

"If you dare to give, I will naturally dare to ask for it. I'm afraid you'll avoid me again! Hearing that Zhao Zihu's words had another deep meaning, Xiang Liyue bit his lip without a trace before taking the candle.

It's just that the way she held the candle asked Zhao Zihu to look at it, why was it a bit like the gesture of wetting the big wet, the corners of his mouth pulled, he secretly thought, hey, hey, hey! Is that really good......

Can you drive in this situation?

Most of the people around are still underage!

and am not afraid to spoil them.

Diao Chan didn't expect that here, he could still be shown by Xiu Enai, and he hummed depressedly beside Li You.

Li You shook his sleeves helplessly and persuaded: "Okay, okay!" Let's test the effect of candles first. ”

He took out the fire fold, blew it, and a little star lit up in his hand, and beckoned Diao Chan to light the candle.

"What? Li You, brother, what do you do? Why don't you order the one in your sister-in-law's hand first, there are a lot of them in Brother Zihu's hand? ”

Diao Chan angrily turned around to avoid it, and hid the candle behind him like a calf: "I finally came here." ”

"It's just a candle, why is that?" Zhao Zihu was thinking, and he really couldn't underestimate a woman's comparison heart, so he handed out a candle for Li You to light it.

He coaxed Diao Chan and said, "If you want, my brother will go back and make another batch for you, and how about adding some lacquer paintings?" For example, phoenix! Horses! The ...... of flowers"

Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a firework suddenly lit up in front of Li You, and the fire became very strong in the blink of an eye, and the range also expanded rapidly, and they all felt that they were covered with splendor and warmth around them before they could be surprised.

In fact, Zhao Zihu knows that these are just psychological effects, and the whale oil candle is indeed very bright, but the brightness is weaker than the general flashlight.

Its scope, specifically, can only shine half of a twenty-square-meter house, and on both sides of Hu Hai and another little friend, the feeling is already extremely weak.

However, even so, it was enough for everyone present to experience an unprecedented shock.

"Wow! It's good, it's bright......"

Accompanied by Diao Chan's exclamation, the exclamations of the cold-blooded thirteen eagles rose and fell in the cabin.

"It's really bright!"

"Order two more, and it'll be the same here as it was during the day."

Xiang Liyue looked at the candle in Li You's hand, then at Zhao Zihu, and asked in astonishment: "This candle can really burn for hundreds of days?" ”

"Where. Ordinary whale oil candles can only burn for a whole day at most! As I said earlier, it was a big fish called a sperm whale, and the essential oil in the skull was made into a candle, which had this miraculous effect. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zihu made a bold move, quickly snatched the candle in Li You's hand who was in a daze, and shouted softly: "Brother You'er!" What do you think? is so distracted, the wax water is almost hot and you don't know it. ”

"This candle seems to be quite simple. I was wondering, after the official sailing, can I also catch that big fish to make candles? Li You still thought about it and subconsciously replied.

It's really scary to think like that!

Zhao Zihu was stunned in front of Ying Zheng and did not mention the development of the whaling industry, and he also had this concern.

Li You, or the people around him, he can still dissuade one or two, but what about more others......

Seeing the huge profits of the whaling industry, those who take risks will definitely rise like a carp crossing the river!

If they go out to sea, they will find a small island and hide......

The difficulty of clearing and eradicating is increasing by tens or hundreds of times.

Why did the Age of Discovery occur in previous lives? Why are there so many pirates......

It's not just because the sea is outside the law, and there are countless unknown islands!

Zhao Zihu immediately advised: "When it comes to whaling, you'd better think twice." By Brother! Moreover, this candle is extremely flammable, so be careful to use it and set the boat on fire. ”

Before he could say that, he heard someone swallow a few times of saliva, and then said in fear: "This? We would have liked to take this candle and look for treasures in this cabin......"

"Still looking for treasure? If you set this boat on fire, my father is afraid that it will be almost the same as castrating your pair of dog treasures. Hurry up, hurry up, go away! "Zhao Zihu rewarded this stinky brother with a brain meltdown.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took the lead and walked to the deck, and the stinky brothers were too busy to keep up with the pace, and no one dared to look at the candle of Nashlaozi.

Li You then came back to his senses, waved his hand at Zhao Zihu and said ashamedly: "What the son said is very true, you must remember it!" ”

Zhao Zihu raised his hand encouragingly and patted Li You's shoulder, smiled at Xiang Liyue and Diao Chan, and quickly left the cabin.

"Auntie! Is it really that easy to burn a boat with such a beautiful candle? The fat boy was still behind, muttering in disbelief.

"Looking at the fact that it burns so vigorously at that little bit, it is natural to use it risky." Xiangli Yue's jaw is the first way.

After thinking about it, she said analytically: "And the wax water that burns out should be more likely to burn people than soybean oil......

"If it's safe to use, it's not like it's so bare, it's better to add a candlestick."

Hearing this, Zhao Zihu went to the deck and couldn't help but turn around and nodded at Xiang Liyue.

Otherwise, Xiang Liyue is also a proper engineering dog......

That's great!

I made candles with my front feet, and you made candlesticks with your back feet.

He asked funny: "It's all suspicious, did you make Kong Ming Lantern for me in advance after a while?" ”

"Huh?!" This question of no beginning and no tail made Xiang Liyue a little confused in an instant.

"Nothing. But ......"

Zhao Zihu's thoughts began to float again: "This candle has been made, and if some corresponding wedding customs and etiquette are formulated, the candles in the cave room will be used in the future generations, and people will bring up the atmosphere, and they will definitely be very grateful to me!" ”

"Cave room", the three women around him could understand, and their faces turned red at the same time.

Fat Qing'er was thinking.

This little uncle is so shameless! I made the candles, it turned out that I was playing tricks with my aunt on the couch......

Xiang Liyue probably thought the same way, but felt ashamed and annoyed.

Diao Chan looked at the reaction of the aunt and nephew, and was even more unconvinced.

While humming and staring at the two of them, she had another understanding of "Flower Candle".

She immediately asked, "Brother Zihu! You just said that these candles can add beautiful lacquer paintings, such as flowers or something? ”

Seeing that Zhao Zihu definitely responded, Diao Chan immediately raised his head and waist provocatively to Xiang Liyue.

The meaning is obviously to say......

Don't be too sentimental, you old woman!

The "flower candle in the cave room" that Brother Zihu said was made for my Diao Chan......

How could Xiang Liyue not see Diao Chan's thoughts, but as a big sister, she didn't have the heart to compete with a little girl and be jealous.

This girl likes to think whatever she wants, just think about it!

She still walked beside Zhao Zihu unhurriedly, watching Diao Chan demonstrate, to hold Xiaofujun's arm, and then this girl, feeling unreasonable, quickly changed her hand to hand.

"You!"

Zhao Zihu smiled bitterly at Diao Chan.

He really accepted this, as if he was afraid that he would leave her behind.

Sandwiched between two women, he didn't have any feelings he couldn't handle.

What's that?

It's not like I haven't experienced it in my previous life......
