The system wants my local master gl

After Tang Zhi went back, Du Yan finally knew what Song Yuyan was up to. He thought that straw weaving and bamboo weaving skills, which were easy to learn and master, were nothing to Song Yuyan, but bamboo carving she knew was her special skill. But unexpectedly, she can even make candles!

His mood is like that of Tang Zhi in the past, but his curiosity and sympathy for Song Yuyan are more in his heart: I think he went out to make a living when he was young, and he also learned many skills, but it was all after he got the attention of his wife and family. Gradually fade away after reading.

Song Yuyan happened to want to test whether the candle could burn successfully, so Du Yan also wanted to watch it.Song Yuyan didn't object. As for Bai Can, he was very happy because the candles were made. When he looked at those candles, he seemed to see copper coins shining in front of his eyes. He didn't care about Du Yan.

The candle burned successfully, but Song Yuyan was still dissatisfied, because the candle wick could not burn completely, that is to say, its complete burning speed could not keep up with the melting speed of the candle. In the melted wax liquid, the candle flame becomes smaller or extinguished.

Du Yan was puzzled and said, "Ordinary people have to cut the wicks of candles. Why do you think about these things?"

Song Yuyan was taken aback, and then remembered that the candles used in later generations were paraffin wax extracted from petroleum, and the candle wicks used were produced through industrial processes, so there was no need to worry about cutting the candle wicks.She used to make candles with ready-made wicks, so she didn't notice this problem.

She wanted to keep improving, but both Bai Can and Du Yan thought that the candles she made were already perfect.The color of good-quality white wax is pure white, as white as snow; while the secondary wax is a little yellow, but it is not as pure yellow as beeswax.

But no matter what kind of candle it is, there is only a difference in the intensity of the smell when it burns. Besides, there is not much difference in the burning speed. Therefore, it can be said that the more than 20 candles they made can be sold at a good price. up.

At present, a tubular candle that can be held in the hand, which is the kind made by Song Yuyan, can be sold for [-] yuan a piece, which is more expensive than yellow wax—beeswax; as for candles made of common materials such as oil It is about fifteen words.

As for why the white wax can be sold at such an expensive price, firstly, it is hard and can be made longer without worrying about softening like yellow wax; secondly, it burns for a long time and has high brightness.

Of course, another reason is that white wax is still very scarce, at least in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even [-] Wen is considered cheap.

Bai Can suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Song Yuyan how to sell these candles.Although he was almost the one who worked in the process of making candles, in this cooperation, he still subconsciously followed Song Yuyan's opinion.

Song Yuyan also needs to think about it carefully. In fact, this is a windfall for her. In addition, she does not have a continuous supply of white wax raw materials, so naturally she cannot develop it into a long-term business.That being the case, she doesn't need to make detailed plans.

However, she believes that if there is an opportunity to breed white wax worms in the future, doing a good deal now may pave the way for the future...

After considering all aspects, she said: "It was an accident that we found the white wax worm this time, that is to say, it was a windfall, so I don't think we need to be greedy."

Bai Can nodded: "Song Dalang is right!"

"If we sell it to those scholars at a lower price, we will not only make money, but also reduce the burden on those scholars."

Before Bai Can responded, Du Yan couldn't help applauding: "Song Dalang is indeed righteous!"

Bai Can did not object, after all, what Song Yuyan said before still echoed in his ears, so he was not surprised at all that Song Yuyan made such a decision.

Although he was a little heartbroken, he comforted himself, after all, it was the money he picked up, and if there was less, there would be less.In addition, he thought that following Song Yuyan might bring him a lot of good luck. After all, Song Yuyan was well-informed and knew Xie Juren, so he had a bright future, so he had to leave a good impression on Song Yuyan.

After both of them agreed, Du Yan said: "Since the two of you offered to lighten the burden on the scholars, I would like to make a heartfelt request...don't sell these candles to my friends."

Du Yan still has a lot of friends in Mingzhou. After all, there are many opportunities for literati to get acquainted and communicate with each other. They can often meet each other in an elegant gathering, a poetry meeting, or an outing. As long as there is no conflict of ideas for the time being, can become friends.

He also met a few young scholars from poor families. This time he was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, so he went to say goodbye to these friends. Later, when he passed by Cixi County, he remembered that Song Yuyan's family lived here, so he took the liberty to visit.

Song Yuyan was quite surprised to hear that he was going to Beijing for the exam.He said that his wife, Xiang Lishi, had sent a letter. The letter vaguely mentioned that he had been traveling for so long, and he must have not missed his homework. Why don't he take the exam and see his ability.

Du Yan still had ambitions in his heart. Although he failed the exam several times, his will was not depressed. Seeing that his wife and children cared about him so much, he made up his mind.

In this regard, Song Yuyan naturally wanted to wish him the title of the gold list, and at the same time he opened his mouth, she would not deny him this face.

Du Yan negotiated with her the price of 25 Wen a candle for the best quality candles and [-] Wen a candle for the inferior ones. If the other party came to buy them at that time, it would be an agreement with him.

He didn't let Song Yuyan suffer, and gave Song Yuyan some books he carried with him, and the value of these books far exceeded the part of the candle money that Song Yuyan lost.

Song Yuyan asked for the book, but Bai Can paid more for the candles.Bai Can was surprised by this distribution method. Song Yuyan said: "Originally we agreed to reconcile accounts and share equally. I will give you your part at a price higher than the original price. I can't just because I want to sympathize with poor scholars. I want you to follow me and sell candles cheaply."

Bai Can pretended to be angry: "Song Dalang, you are wrong, you don't regard me as a brother! I agreed to sell candles to scholars at a low price back then, I can't ask for more!"

"But I took the book, the book is priceless, why don't I share half with you?"

Bai Can waved his hands again and again: "I don't know a single word, you are making things difficult for me by letting me read. In my eyes, these books are worth less than a bamboo stick used to wipe my butt."

Song Yuyan smiled helplessly, but still became serious: "Brothers must settle their accounts clearly. I don't want to hurt our harmony because of money. It will make us feel bad in the future."

Song Yuyan was so persistent that Bai Can had no choice but to accept the money. He felt that Song Yuyan knew a lot, so it must be reasonable.

On the day Du Yan left for Beijing to catch the exam, Song Yuyan went to see him off and gave him some Mingzhou specialties to take away.

When Du Yan left, his friends either gave him poems or held a farewell banquet for him, or gave him some meaningful objects. Like Song Yuyan, he felt that the mats on the boat were not clean and gave him an open seat, and felt that there might be something special on the boat. It is still very rare to have a down-to-earth approach of packing some food in a food box after not being able to eat food for a long time.

However, Song Yuyan made the mats and food boxes by himself, and bought the food from Song Yuyan's Uncle 21's store. With the arm rest she gave him earlier, Du Yan felt that he had nothing to dislike.

Those who came to see Du Yan off were a few friends he had made, and they ran into Song Yuyan.Among them was a young man she knew, the scholar who bought candles from her through Du Yan, named Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi has just passed the crown this year, and his family is a farming family. It is already quite difficult to buy lamp oil, let alone candles.So through Du Yan's relationship, Song Yuyan sold him the candle at a price much lower than the market price, and he was grateful for her act of righteousness.

Now that the two of them met, they chatted for a while after Du Yan left, and even the other scholars knew about Song Yuyan's righteous deeds, and praised her endlessly.

Most of them are from Cixi and Yin County, and it is easy to get together on weekdays, so when they agreed on the next Gathering, they also invited Song Yuyan.

After Song Yuyan agreed, he said goodbye to them and returned home to continue working.

Although she didn't earn much from selling candles this time, she still managed to scrape together enough money to buy paper and ink—she planned to start teaching the two little radish heads at home to read, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone were naturally indispensable.As for pens, she also makes brushes, so she doesn't plan to buy them at all.

The two little radish heads didn't realize that the paper and ink she brought back had something to do with them, but Sun'er, who was full of curiosity, kept looking there.It's a pity that their "big brother" has always been very calm, and has been reluctant to tell them why he suddenly bought these expensive things back.

It wasn't until Song Yuyan finished his work and was free at night that he called them to him and told him about his arrangement: "From now on, I will teach you how to read. You have to learn. If you don't want to learn, you will have nothing to eat."

When Little Carrot Bread heard that there was no food to eat, it would be tantamount to killing her, so she quickly expressed her loyalty: "I will learn, I will learn!"

Bear kid Sun'er was a little dazed, with a sour nose: "Why do you teach us how to write? Wouldn't it be better not to teach us?!"

"Since I have assumed the responsibility of being an elder brother, I will do my best. Even if one day I am gone, you still have a skill, and you can have an extra guarantee of survival."

Sun'er rubbed her nose, but didn't ask why she wasn't here.But when Song Yuyan taught him how to read, he took it seriously.

Of course, when Song Yuyan taught them, he must first practice with a brush dipped in water on the stone, and when the practice was almost done, he was willing to take out the paper for them to use.

The time to practice paper for Sun'er should be earlier. After all, Bing'er is at a lively and active age, and often can't sit still. Even if she is given paper to write, she will waste paper.For this reason, Song Yuyan could only be ruthless, hitting her palms like an old master, forcing her to pick up the brush.

Little Luobotou was beaten on the palm of the hand, and she cried heart-piercingly at first, after all, her elder brother had never hit her before!

So when she was wronged, she ran to the Tang family to seek comfort from her elder sister Ye Zi, and hoped to be protected by elder sister Tang Zhi.

Song Yuyan went to Tang's house to look for her, and she hid behind Tang Ye, looking at Tang Zhi eagerly, her eyes seemed to say: Sister Tang, come on, scold elder brother away!

In this world, only Sister Tang can hold back her elder brother!

Tang Zhi: "..."

However, her expectations were doomed to be in vain. In this matter, not only did her sister Tang not help suppress her elder brother, but she even took the initiative to send her back... Well, she also brought her sister Ye Zi.

Tang Zhi: "I see that this child occasionally looks at big brother's pen holder, and even asks me about bamboo carving. It seems that she still likes something in her heart. It is rare for her to like one thing, so I would like to ask you to help teach her carving skills. If you think skills cannot be passed on outside, then you can take her as an apprentice, and if you need Shu Xiu, I can also give it to you."

The fact that Tang Ye liked bamboo carving surprised Tang Zhi a little.She thinks that she knows this younger sister well. She is usually introverted, and she is more cheerful towards her and her brother at home, but she shyly hides when she sees outsiders.

In addition, apart from playing with Bing'er, she mostly followed her to work in the vegetable garden, so she never showed her talent and preferences.

Until one night, when she suddenly asked about the origin of the pen holder, and heard about the skill of bamboo carving from her elder brother, she was faintly moved, and tapped several times from Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi naturally figured out what his sister was thinking, that's why he was surprised. He didn't expect his sister to be interested in bamboo carving skills!

But she didn't rashly ask Song Yuyan to teach Tang Ye the skills of bamboo carving. After all, she knew that some craftsmen's skills were not to be passed on.So after thinking about it for so long, she came up with the method of Jiao Shuxiu, hoping that Song Yuyan could teach her.

Song Yuyan thought that this sister Tang Zhi had the potential to be a parent, so she consciously enrolled her child in interest classes so early on.

Fortunately, her "interest class teacher" did not regard bamboo carving skills as a unique secret skill. In addition, Tang Ye stepped forward that day, defended the cake, and even played with her. For this reason, she was also very optimistic about this child of.

She asked Tang Ye: "Do you want to learn bamboo carving skills?"

Tang Ye glanced at his sister and nodded: "Yes."

"It's hard work to learn."

"It's hard work to take care of the vegetable field every day, and it's also hard work to do laundry and cooking, but I persevere. I'm not afraid of hard work."

Seeing that she had this will, Song Yuyan agreed.As for the tuition fee, she also confiscated it.

Tang Zhi insisted on giving it, so she simply discussed with Tang Zhi: "I don't carve bamboo carvings all the time, I only spend one hour a day on it, and she only learns from me for this one hour. In this way, as long as she studies bamboo carving with me, you will provide me with vegetables for her tuition, how about it?"

Tang Zhi's small calculations crackled in his heart. The Song family only needed one or two vegetables a day, and this was worth two yuan.

"This is a friendship price, Miss Tang doesn't have to have a psychological burden." Song Yuyan said again.

Tang Zhi, who has been brainwashed by her with various strange words for the past six months, has been able to understand what she wants to express.She didn't insist on giving Shu Xiu, even if there was anything in daily life, the Tang family would give the Song family some help.

Seeing that she was not successful in finding foreign aid this time, Bing'er also brought Sister Ye Zi in. She thought that she had caused Sister Ye Zi to suffer.Therefore, after returning home, she has been studying handwriting very seriously, intending to learn it as soon as possible, so as to "liberate" her sister Ye Zi.

And Tang Ye saw that Little Luobotou was studying so seriously, she was much older and could be a role model, so she didn't dare to be lazy.

Song Yuyan and the others didn't bother to clear up their misunderstanding, thinking that it would be a good thing for the two of them to be able to urge each other.

……

Song Yuyan's teaching lasted for half a year, and the three little radish heads followed her for half a year.
