Daming One Piece

Chapter 70 Value (please recommend, please collect)
Whale oil is yellow, almost transparent.

It's not like encountering a kind of grease. If you have to say it, it's more like engine oil, but it's clearer and brighter.

He took a spoon and smelled it closely, and there was no peculiar smell in the yellow whale oil.

If those Bai Zuo knew that they were whaling and refining oil here, maybe they would really tie themselves to the bow to stop themselves.

If that's the case, just throw them into the sea to feed the fish together, so as not to waste food!
After muttering in his heart, Shi Yiwen ordered again.

"Prepare some pottery urns and fill them with oil. This is a good thing!"

If it could be processed further, it could be turned into something even better!

In the next half day, more than a dozen oil pots kept boiling oil, and in the evening, several thousand catties of oil were boiled out, and the oil urns were neatly placed in the house. As far as people are concerned, they have no idea what the whale oil means.

But soon, they knew what this meant!
The dinner that night was sumptuous. The large chunks of whale meat, together with the marinated meat of whale heart and whale intestines, was a joy for everyone to eat. Shi Yiwen even took out dozens of barrels of Erguotou from the supermarket for everyone to drink. If you have enough wine to eat, if the wine is not enough, you can add some water. After all, Chinese people are not used to that kind of spirits these days.

After drinking and eating, Yang Tiansheng and others came to Shi Yiwen's room. An oil lamp in the room was emitting black smoke. It was a pine oil lamp, and the room was filled with a strong scent of pine.

"Xiaoyue, go and open the window to diffuse the smell."

"It's your son."

Even though the windows were open, the smell of pine was still strong, the light from the oil lamp was dim, and the black smoke was several inches long. Everyone was used to all this.This is especially true for scholars like Wei Donglin.

"Xiantong, what was it like reading under this oil lamp in the past?"

The son's question made Wei Donglin sigh.

"People in the world say that reading is hard, and this eye pain is one of them. Every night when I read, my eyes will be red, swollen and sore, but even so, I have to recite the book. At most, I just close my eyes and rest for a while. .”

But anyone who has read books has a personal experience of oil lamps, and even Shi Yiwen has suffered from those hardships - the oil lamps are blinding the eyes, but the light is very dim.

"Yeah, whether it's pine oil lamps, vegetable oil, or soybean oil, the oil lamps are too heavy and too smoky, but all of this is over now!"

While talking, Shi Yiwen picked up another oil lamp, poured a spoonful of oil into it from a bowl, dipped the twister in the lamp oil, picked out the twister, and then picked up a small piece of wood that was still burning. Stick, light the lamp twister.

After a while, a bluish flame appeared on the lamp twister. The one-inch-high flame looked extremely bright, different from the dimness of pine oil smoke. At the moment it was lit, it was like several lamps were lit in the room. Like a lamp.The sea breeze blowing from the window made the lights flutter, but it didn't affect its brightness at all.
"This... this light is really bright!"

In everyone's astonishment, Shi Yiwen picked out the pine oil lamp, even though it was removed, the brightness was not worse than before.

Looking at the bright lights, he breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder whale oil is known as the best lamp oil, even kerosene lamps cannot compare with it.

"Young master, this is whale oil!"

Wei Donglin stared at the light in surprise.

This light is not only bright, but there is no black smoke, and there is no peculiar smell.

"How about this lamp oil?"

Shi Yiwen asked with a smile.

"This this……"

After a while, Wei Donglin said.

"My lord, this lamp oil is really a good thing. Not only is it very bright, but it also has no smell of black smoke. If you sell it to a rich family, it will definitely fetch a good price!"

"Can this lamp oil be sold for a good price?"

Yang Tiansheng leaned forward and stared at the little blue flame, his eyes revealing the desire for wealth.

"It will definitely sell for a good price!"

Staring at the blue light in the middle of the yellow, Wei Donglin gave him a very affirmative answer.

"However, among the scholars and eunuchs, who is willing to suffer from the smoke while studying? Not only does this oil have no black smoke smell, but it is so bright that even a few candles cannot compare with it. My son, this lamp oil must be It’s easy to sell! And it must be extremely popular, rich people don’t care about the cost of a few candles, let alone the cost of such lamp oil.”

It turned out to be sold to rich people!
Rich people don't care about that little gas money.

"That's right, those rich people are not short of money. They must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy such lamp oil!"

Good things never worry about selling, and this kind of lamp oil is just in demand!
This is especially true for readers.

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"It doesn't need to be too expensive, as long as it is about the same as a candle."

Candles are not cheap this year!

But rich people!I don't care, whale oil is the eye-protecting light of this era!
Hearing this, Wei Donglin gasped.

"Young master, how could the 6000 catties of lamp oil have to be sold for 7000 taels of silver!"

Six 7000 taels of silver!

Yang Tiansheng and the others were instantly dumbfounded. When they looked at Shi Yiwen, their eyes were unnatural.

Those thousands of catties of oil can actually sell so much!

"A catty of oil can be sold for a tael of silver!"

"It may be more expensive, after all, the price of the candle is there!"

After all, Wei Donglin and others looked at Shi Yiwen eagerly, and Yang Tiansheng even murmured.

"No wonder the young master said that the most worthless thing on a whale is the whale meat. How much is this meat worth? This lamp oil... But, it is really a good thing!"

Looking at the dumbfounded crowd, Shi Yiwen said casually.

"This price is just a tentative estimate, but whale oil is definitely a good lamp oil. It is not only bright, but also resistant to burning. Although it is expensive, it can be cheap."

Shi Yiwen said while looking at them.

"Everyone has seen that such a whale can not only bring us tens of thousands of catties of high-quality meat, but also thousands of taels of silver. If we single out some people to hunt whales, not only from now on, everyone You don’t need to live hungry and full, and you can definitely earn money. Although whaling is a bit risky, it’s not a risk. When we build bigger sailboats in the future, whaling will be easier However, if we catch dozens of whales a year, we will be prosperous..."

Staring at the small flame, Shi Yiwen quietly drew a pancake for everyone. In the eyes of everyone, he saw the desire for wealth.

now it's right!

For them, ideals and the like are imaginary, and wealth is the most realistic. If you draw big pancakes for them, they will be willing to drive them and win people's hearts. Sometimes it's as simple as that!
As long as enough benefits are given, there is no need to worry about not being able to win people's hearts. As for other things, Shi Yiwen is not too anxious, in fact, there is nothing to be anxious about.

Whale oil, salt...these are all lucrative products of Chiguoguo!

With these two things, how could the hearts of the thousands of people in the salt field not be driven by themselves, as for the hearts of the people in the village... that would be very fast!
Thinking of the stockade, Shi Yiwen naturally thought of the sailboat that seemed to be sailing towards the mouth of the river, so he asked.

"By the way, Second Uncle Yang, who owns the boat I encountered today when I was whaling? It seems to be going to the stockade."

"ferry?"

Yang Tiansheng was taken aback for a moment, then said.

"I didn't see it clearly. It should be Captain Guo who is coming back at this time!"
