After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 517 Pine Candle, Pine Gum, and Pine Resin [2]

Jiang Xiaozhu thought the big red candles described by Qin Xiaomi were very beautiful, and shouted, "Sister Xiaomi, make a big red candle quickly, it must be very beautiful!"

Red candles, auspicious characters filled with gold paint, and some flower and bird patterns must be extremely beautiful.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and pinched her cheek: "Let's do it another day."

Grandma Qin was very worried: "Xiaomi, will people hate you for making this red candle?"

Candles are expensive items and have always been a business of rich families. If my granddaughter makes them, it will definitely attract attention and cause trouble.

Before Qin Xiaomi could say anything, Aunt Qin said, "Mom, the new dyes are already made, so we don't need a red candle... and our family now has some self-protection capabilities, so it's okay to make something new to sell."

Qin Xiaomi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "My aunt, I told you that you are also a brave person."

My aunt?

Qin Xiaogu laughed. What kind of name is that?

Qin Xiaomi added: "Grandma, you have to learn from my aunt and be braver. Don't be afraid of things. This thing is the wind of things. If you are fierce, the people who want to harm you will be weak."

"We are people who have escaped from the famine. If we can do it, we can do it. If not, we will just pick up our knives and do it."

Grandma Qin had been convinced, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she almost wanted to beat her up: "You damn girl, what are you talking about? Don't say such things in the future. If someone hears you, it will be bad for you."

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Don't worry, grandma. I'm just talking at home. When I go out, every word I say will only benefit our family."

She would never give anyone something to hold against her.

Grandpa Qin said: "Since you are going to do it, then do it well."

Being able to make cheap red candles can help farmers save money.

That night, after dinner, when it was completely dark, the whole family began to light pine candles.

After thinking about it, Qin Xiaomi finally decided to order only five.

Jiang Dalang protected the pine candle and went to the kitchen with it.

As soon as you enter the kitchen, the whole kitchen is shrouded in a halo of light.

Qin Xiaomi, Uncle Qin and his wife, and others were watching outside and nodded, "Well, the candlelight is strong enough to see clearly."

Jiang Dalang took the pine candle and went to the backyard.

The open backyard affects the intensity of the pine candle light, but the light range is very good.

After they finished reading, Jiang Dalang took the pine candle and returned to the main room.

Five pine candles burned together, lighting up the main room, and the air was filled with the scent of pine.

"This smell... is like entering a forest. It smells very fresh and refreshing." said Qin Xiaogu.

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Rich people love to burn incense. Among them, there is a high-quality incense, which is cedar incense. It is more refreshing than the pine scent we smell now."

Now the smell of pine in the house is somewhat accompanied by a burnt smell.

"Niece, are you going to make rosin to sell?" Uncle Qin called out, and began to praise her: "You are worthy of being my niece, you are smart, sensible and can make money. My Qin family has you, and it is a blessing to have you in our family."

"It's one thing for our ancestors to exert their strength, but in the final analysis, my niece's ability is the result of her own good deeds in her previous life..."

Qin Xiaomi didn't want to pay attention to him, but he kept talking, so she couldn't help it: "Second Uncle, you are a scholar, how can you flatter me so bluntly? Don't you have any fairy words that can make people feel happy and happy?"

Uncle Qin wanted to say, there are immortal poems, but you are not well educated, and if I use those scholarly words, I am afraid you won’t understand them.

But his second wife is now living off his niece, so he didn't dare say this out loud and just shut up.

An hour later...

"This pine candle is quite good. It hasn't burned down even halfway after such a long time." Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied with the burning endurance of the pine candle, but she was sleepy. She picked up a candle and said to everyone, "It's time to go to sleep. Each room should take one back and check again tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go to bed." Grandpa Qin said, and took a pine candle back to the house.

Qin Xiaogu, Qin Ershu and his wife, and Jiang Dalang also took one and left.

The next day, at the hour of Mao, when Qin Xiaomi woke up, she could still see the butt of a pine candle burning flickeringly.

Qin Xiaomi was shocked. This was not just an ordinary achievement.

She watched the pine candle for another half a quarter of an hour before it burned out.

It burned from the beginning of the Xu hour to the beginning of the Mao hour, a total of five hours, ten hours in total, which was quite successful.

Soon, Jiang Dalang also got up and came over. When he saw Qin Xiaomi, he smiled and said, "Xiaomi, the pine candle burned out at the hour of Mao."

I sighed in my heart that Dawei is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the products produced here are 20% better than those of Dasheng.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Well, the pine candle in my room has burned to almost half a quarter of an hour at the Mao hour."

Grandpa Qin, Aunt Qin, and Second Uncle Qin also stood up and each described the situation of the burning of pine candles in their rooms.

Almost all of them were burned out during the Mao hour.

Very stable, very strong, quite promising, Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied, and gave Jiang Xiaozhu and Qin Xiaomai a task: "After breakfast, I will light two pine candles, and you two will watch and see how long they will burn out... Well, I will give you one penny of silver as wages."

Jiang Xiaozhu was very good at handling things, and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, how can I ask for money when I work for Sister Xiaomi?"

The most important thing is, by helping Sister Xiaomi with the work, she has a legitimate reason not to do her homework today, and she is happy ().

But she wishful thinking.

"You still have to do your homework and get paid." Qin Xiaomi taught them: "If you work hard, you should get paid. If you work for others and don't ask for money, it's self-deprecating... You two, Xiaogu and Xiao Erlang, if you dare to belittle yourselves, don't say you are my relative when you go out. I can't afford to lose face."

The four little ones nodded and said, "Sister Xiaomi, we got it."

Well, Qin Xiaomi nodded with satisfaction. After finishing breakfast, she waited until the beginning of the Chen hour, lit two pine candles, and went to the pine oil product shop to make pine ointment.

……

Pine paste is more difficult to make than pine candles and costs more than pine candles.

In addition to the harvested pine oil, the pine oil in the pine needles and pine wood must also be distilled, because the pine oil distilled in this way is not only clean and clear, but also has a richer and longer-lasting fragrance.

"Bai Ying, take a look at this diagram first, and help me build the distillation apparatus later." Qin Xiaomi handed Xiao Baiying a diagram, and after a while, asked her, "Do you understand it?"

Xiao Baiying nodded: "Yes. It is similar to some of the processes in making medicine."

Several pottery jars are connected and sealed with clay, allowing the boiled liquid to flow through each pottery jar and pottery tube, ultimately achieving the effect of water and oil separation.

"It's OK as long as you can understand it." Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied... It was a good decision to buy these servants, and each of them is very capable.

Zhu Yiqing and Xiao Liuqu brought over pottery jars and the long spouts that were knocked off from the pottery pots.

Xiaomuxiang is going to accompany the clay.

Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin came over to peek again, with a look of disgust on their faces: "Niece, how old are you? Why are you still playing in the mud? It's so dirty."

Qin Xiaomi only said one sentence: "Deduct your bonus. This is your sixth mistake this month, and your bonus will be doubled!"

Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin became anxious when they heard this and wanted to go back to the workshop to work, but they thought that they had already deducted the money and if they didn't check the whole thing, they would lose twice as much, so they had to stay and find out what happened.

Qin Xiaomi didn't drive them away. After all, they were her uncle and aunt. If she really wanted to do this business in the future, she would have to use them.

The truth is, this thing requires a recipe, so even if Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin read it from beginning to end, they won’t be able to learn it.
