Chapter 517 Pine candle pine paste rosin [2]
Jiang Xiaozhu only thought that the big red candle described by Qin Xiaomi was very beautiful, and shouted: "Sister Xiaomi, make the big red candle quickly, it will be very beautiful!"
Red candles, auspicious characters filled in with golden paint, and some patterns of flowers and birds must be so beautiful.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and pinched her cheek: "I'll do it another day."
Grandma Qin was very worried: "Xiaomi, will you be hated by others for making this red candle?"
Candles are an expensive thing and have always been a business of noble families. If my granddaughter makes them, it will definitely attract people's attention and cause trouble.
Before Qin Xiaomi could say anything, Aunt Qin said: "Mom, we have made new dyes, and there is no shortage of a red candle... and our family has some ability to protect itself now, so it doesn't matter if we get something new to sell."< br>
Qin Xiaomi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "My aunt, I told you that you are also brave."
My aunt?
Aunt Qin smiled, what are these names?
Qin Xiaomi said again: "Grandma, you have to learn from my aunt, be more courageous, don't be afraid of trouble, this thing is the East and West. If you are fierce, the people who want to harm you will be weak."
"We are people who have escaped the famine. If we can do it, if we can't, we just pick up the knife and do it."
Grandma Qin had been persuaded at first. When she heard this, she was so angry that she almost wanted to beat her: "You damn girl, what did you say? Don't say such words in the future. If someone hears you, it will be bad for you."
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Don't worry, grandma, I just talk at home. When I go outside, every word I say will only be beneficial to our family."
She wouldn't do it by giving others an excuse.
Grandpa Qin said: "Since you plan to do it, then do it well."
Being able to make cheap red candles can be considered as saving money for farmers.
That night, after dinner and it was completely dark, the whole family started lighting pine candles.
After thinking about it, Qin Xiaomi finally decided to only order five.
Jiang Dalang protected Song Zhu and took Song Zhu to the kitchen.
As soon as you enter the kitchen, the entire kitchen is covered with a halo.
Qin Xiaomi, Uncle Qin and his wife and others looked outside and nodded: "Well, the intensity of the candlelight is good, I can see clearly."
Jiang Dalang took the pine candle again and went to the backyard.
The backyard is empty, which 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, illuminating the main room brightly, and there was a scent of pine all around.
"This smell... feels like entering a mountain forest. It smells very refreshing and refreshing." Aunt Qin said.
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Rich people like to burn incense, and one of the finest scents is cedar, which is fresher than the pine scent we smell now."
The scent of pine in the house now is somewhat accompanied by a burnt smell.
"Eldest niece, do you want to make rosin and sell it?" Second Uncle Qin shouted and began to praise her: "As expected of her, she is smart and sensible and can make money. Having you in my old Qin family is like smoke rising from the ancestral graves. ”
"It's one thing for our ancestors to work hard, but in the final analysis, if my niece has this ability, it is all due to her own good deeds and good deeds in her previous life..."
Qin Xiaomi originally didn't want to talk to him, but he couldn't help it as he kept chattering: "Second uncle, you are a scholar, how can you be so blunt in your flattery? There is nothing that makes people feel physically and mentally happy. ”
Second Uncle Qin wants to say that there are some fairy words, but you are not very knowledgeable. If you use those words of knowledge, I'm afraid you won't understand.
But his second wife is now eating his niece, so he doesn't dare to say this out loud, so he keeps his mouth shut.
An hour later...
"This pine candle is quite impressive. It has not burned even half of it after such a long time." Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied with the burning resistance of the pine candle. But she was sleepy, so she picked up a candle and said to everyone: "Go to sleep, take it from each room." Take one back and look at it tomorrow." "Okay, everyone, go to sleep." Grandpa Qin said and took a pine candle back to the house.
Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin and his wife, and Jiang Dalang also took one and left.
The next day, at Mao hour, when Qin Xiaomi woke up, he could still see the buttocks of pine candles burning tremblingly.
Qin Xiaomi was shocked. This was not an ordinary achievement.
She kept the pine candle for another half-quarter of an hour before it burned out.
From the beginning of the Xu period to the beginning of the Mao period, it burned for a full five hours or ten hours. It was very promising.
Soon, Jiang Dalang also got up and came over. After seeing Qin Xiaomi, he smiled and said: "Xiaomi, the pine candle is gone when it reaches the end of the burn."
I sighed in my heart, this Dawei is really a land of outstanding people, and the products it produces are 20% better than Dasheng.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Well, the pine candle in my room has been burning for almost half a quarter of an hour."
Grandpa Qin, Aunt Qin, and Uncle Qin also got up, and each told them about the burning pine candles in their rooms.
Almost all of them were burned out at the end of the year.
Very stable, very strong, and 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 them to see how long they burn. ...Well, I’ll give you one denarius as wages.”
Jiang Xiaozhu was very knowledgeable and quickly raised her hand: "No, no, no, I'm working for Sister Xiaomi, how can I ask for money?"
The most important thing is that by helping Sister Xiaomi work, she will have a legitimate reason not to do homework today, so she is happy ().
But she thought beautifully.
"You still have to do your homework, and you have to get paid." Qin Xiaomi taught them: "You should get paid after you have worked. If you work for others for free, that is self-indulgence... You two, and Xiao Gu, Xiaoerlang, if you dare to belittle yourself, don’t say you are my relative when you go out in the future. I can’t afford to embarrass this person.”
The fourth child was taught and nodded: "Sister Xiaomi, we understand."
Well, Qin Xiaomi nodded with satisfaction. After breakfast, he waited until the beginning of the morning, lit two pine candles, and then went to the pine oil product house to make pine paste.
……
Pine paste is more difficult to make than pine candle, and the cost is higher than pine candle.
In addition to the harvested pine oil, the pine oil in the pine needles and pine wood must also be distilled. This is 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, look at this picture first, and then help me build the distillation equipment." Qin Xiaomi gave Xiao Baiying a drawing, and after a while, asked her: "Can you understand it?"
Xiao Baiying nodded: "Yes. It is similar to some processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing."
Several clay pots are sealed together with clay, allowing the boiled liquid to flow through each pot and the pot tube, and finally achieve the effect of water and oil separation.
"As long as you can understand it." Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied...these servants made the right purchase, and they are all very capable.
Zhu Yiqing and Xiao Liuqu brought in the clay pots and the long spouts knocked from the pots.
Xiao Muxiang is to accompany the clay.
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin came over to take a peek again, with a look of disgust on his face: "Niece, how old are you, why are you still playing in the mud? It's too boring."
Qin Xiaomi only said: "Deduction of bonus. This is the sixth time you have made a mistake this month, and your income will be doubled!"
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin were anxious when they heard this and wanted to go back to the workshop to work, but they thought they had already deducted the money. If they didn't see everything, they would be losing twice as much, so they had to stay and see what happened.
Qin Xiaomi didn't chase them away. After all, they were uncles and aunts. If he really wanted to do this business in the future, he would have to use them.
In fact, this thing requires a recipe, so even if Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin watch it from beginning to end, they can’t even hope to learn it.
