Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

When Mrs. Tong came to tell Su Qingnao that the male pupae on the wax flowers were no longer producing wax and were about to fly out of the wax flowers, Su Qingnao knew it was time to pick the wax flowers. read

The few thousand taels she earned from selling tea fruits and tea leaves some time ago is far from the tens of thousands taels she earned as a middleman.

Su's father, Su's mother, and the others felt very happy after seeing only a few thousand taels, but Su Qingyu felt heartache.

Manager Li cannot get involved in the techniques of raising and refining white wax insects.

Otherwise I'll chop off his claws!

The family has never seen or even heard of white wax insects. I heard that it could be made into candles for wealthy families and could be sold for a lot of money, which made me excited.

They all followed into the woods.

When we arrived at the place where the ash tree grows, the branches were covered with the wax secreted by the ash worm. From a distance, it looked like the tree hangings after the snow in winter, jade tree agar.

All white.

It's like it's snowing.

Looking closer, it looks like white fluffy cotton wrapping the branches.

Everyone was amazed at how such a magical thing could exist.

None of the Su family had seen it before, so they stood under the tree, not daring to move.

Many people have seen this in the mountains, but the people in Xingengzhai fled from other places and only entered the mountains, so they have never seen these things.

Except for Tong, her daughter Tong Yuanniang and the people who followed them to herd white wax insects, no one else had seen them.

When she heard that she was about to harvest, she asked everyone to follow her with fine baskets and baskets. They all followed behind to see what was strange.

When we walked to the ash tree, everyone was amazed when they saw it, but they all didn't dare to move.

How to harvest it, no one knows.

It was also the first time for Su Qingyu to see such a spectacular scene. At a glance, the ash forest was covered in white snow.

No wonder this white wax is called snow wax, it really looks like it is covered with snow.

"Watch it."

Su Qingyu came to her senses, grabbed the scissors and started operating.

In fact, she was also nervous because it was her first time doing it.

But don’t be a coward. Everyone is waiting to learn, so you have to pretend to be sophisticated.

There was a moment of nervousness, and as soon as I cut it...well, it didn't cut.

Su's father was extremely anxious: "Give dad the scissors and see how strong you are as a kitten."

Su Qingyu felt embarrassed for a while, handed the scissors in her hand to Su's father, and told him to cut off the branches to avoid the wax.

Father Su understood it as soon as he heard it. As soon as he cut it, a snow-white branch fell down.

Cut off the excess dead branches and old leaves, and put the remaining branches wrapped in wax into the basket.

Everyone understood it at a glance and started taking action.

Mother Su and others followed suit, and the baskets were immediately filled with basket after basket, and the man picked them up and carried them to the Su family.

Su Qingyu looked at it for a while and realized that there was no need to delay cutting off the wax, so she and Su Qingliu turned around and went home.

He also asked Mrs. Guo to arrange for several women to burn a big pot in the backyard to prepare for cooking.

"Master, is this white wax?" Mrs. Guo was surprised.

She had seen candles in rich people's homes, but she didn't know how they got them.

Still white wax.

The boss can make a lot of money this time.

Once the owner is rich, it will be easier for the servants who follow her. She just hopes that her boss will be rich and prosperous. The richer and more powerful they are, the more capable they are of protecting them.

"Yeah. But I haven't boiled it before. Let's try a pot first."

"Okay. It's okay. Just try it slowly and you can make it."

"Hmm. Try a little less first."

After trying several pots, Su Qingyu figured out the best heat and ratio.

The best water-adding ratio is 5:1, add 10 pounds of water to 25 pounds of wax flowers. From 10 pounds of wax flowers, you can get 8 to 12 pounds of hairy wax. The proportion of head wax is 70% and the second wax is 30%.

Su Qingyu was overjoyed.

Another series of instructions were given to prepare paints and to call the carpenters in the village. She asked them to make some molds.

He also asked someone to notify Xiang Zhen and put up a sign to collect wax flowers.

Then he took Guo and others to boil all the wax flowers brought back from the ash forest and refined the wax.

The next day, while the wax flowers are boiling, the finished wax is made.

Fortunately, it is autumn and the weather is getting cooler, so we are not afraid of heat and deterioration.

After getting the pigments and molds, Su Qingyu boiled the finished wax into wax water, added various pigments to it, and added wicks to the molds to make candles of various colors.

In a blink of an eye, various molds were obtained, and she had people carve words into the molds to make various candles.

After taking it out of the mold and lighting all kinds of candles, everyone couldn't close their mouths.

The candlelight danced, reflecting everyone's faces. No matter how close you got, there was no smoke from the oil lamp, and there was no unpleasant smell.

"Sister, it's so bright! My brother no longer has to cry because of the smoke when reading." Qing Xing clapped her hands happily.

"Boss, is this a candle? We actually made candles! We also made them into various kinds! It's so beautiful and wonderful!"

Even though she was well-informed in a wealthy family, Guo was stunned.

Where does this boss come from from a farmer's family?

There are tall, short, round, square, thick, and thin candles in various colors and patterns. The candles can also be made into animals, flowers, and trees, and there are also engravings on the outside!

Look at the auspicious dragon and phoenix, the mandarin ducks playing in the water...

Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful! I've never seen anyone from a wealthy family.

Mrs. Guo seemed to have seen the sound of money falling down.

Su Qingyu also knew that the matter was serious, so she grabbed Xiang Shang and told him: "Go to the market town and ask your father to be more strict with his mouth. Don't reveal it to anyone who inquires. Wait until we finish harvesting the wax flowers." goods."

"Yes. Don't worry, boss, my father is very strict with his mouth."

Xiang Shang responded and left.

Father Su and Mother Su were shocked. Was his daughter sent by God? How come you get married, it's like enlightening yourself.

Not only was she adopted as a goddaughter by Ma Mingwen, but she was adopted as a goddaughter by the God of Wealth, right?

There are many ways to make money.

The Yongfeng ship had already noticed the wax flower collection sign hanging in Xingenzhai next door.

I also saw mountain people carrying white branches on their backs to the next door every day. Even though he is well-informed, he doesn’t recognize this thing.

Isn't this a branch? Wrapped in a thick layer of white stuff?

What is this?

do not know.

But he felt that Mrs. Su's generous collection of this thing must be of great use. He seemed to see a lot of money flying towards the next door.

But pay no attention to him.

During this time, he was very busy. People came to sell mountain products and tea fruits every day, and there was a long queue at the door of the shop. He followed him from morning to night to inspect the goods, pay money, keep accounts, and transport goods to Renzhou. He was extremely busy.

In the blink of an eye, when I wanted to go next door to pay attention, it seemed that not even a few mountain residents could be seen.

Little did he know that this thing was also seasonal.

The harvesting time is only that long, and the harvest is completed in less than half a month.

Shopkeeper Xiang’s brand has been included.

But he still wanted to report to Manager Li that Mrs. Su had to pay attention to such a big move.

But before he could report, Su Qingyu took the things to Renzhou to find Manager Li.
