"Ah Piao, Ah Piao, help me see the thing that is wrapped around the tree, like a spider's web, is this the wax secreted by the white wax worm, those wax flowers on the tree, can be made into candles?" ’
Ah Piao is a machine spirit, but it is the master of space, and all the contents of many books in the space can be mobilized at any time, like memory, and it didn't take long for Ah Piao to say, 'Yes, master, you are so lucky, there is no candle in this time and space'
Yun Wanyue's eyes widened, and the first thing that came to mind was the large woods of 'getting rich', oh my God!
If she was not mistaken, this must be the one she knew.
"Ling Ya, a few of you will collect the things on this, I can use it" Yun Wanyue tried her best to calm herself, it was already late autumn at this time, and there were no more wax flowers than summer, but there were still a lot of forests in this area.
Ling Ya didn't know why, but seeing Yun Wanyue's requesting gaze, several people, except for Yun Wanyue, began to collect wax flowers from the back basket they brought.
Ling Ya saw that several back baskets were already full, and said, "Yue'er, what do you want these things for?" It's hard to take the rest, or I'll get it again tomorrow."
"Okay, go back"
Back at the houseboat, a few people didn't know why, Liu Datang looked at the white flowers in the back basket and frowned, "What is this, what do you want it to do with the crescent, the white flowers are oily?" ”
Yun Wanyue was excited at this time, and she was about to laugh crazy, looked at him and said, "Wait and see." Ingot to find a jar."
Yuan Bao was very obedient to carry out the order, never asked much, and when the jar was brought over, Yun Wanyue did not explain, and instructed Yuan Bao to put it on the fire and start boiling wax flowers according to the way she said.
After everyone was curious to see the wax flowers melting into liquid little by little in the jar, Liu Datang couldn't help but say, "This thing actually melts?" What is this? ”
Yun Wanyue only smiled and didn't say much, so Yun Ting found a bamboo pole, Yun Wanyue asked Yuan Bao to pour the liquid boiled out of the first pot into the bamboo pole, put cotton thread in it, and after the thing solidified, he poured out the wax pillar in the bamboo pole, and then cut it off one by one.
Ling Ya was also curious when he looked at the things, and he didn't bother when he saw his little daughter-in-law tinkering with great interest, and when everyone saw Yun Wanyue lighting the exposed cotton thread with an oil lamp, the candle was lit, and the people in the house were all stupid, because it illuminated the small kitchen like an oil lamp.
"Oh my God~ What is this?!" Crystal was also shocked and couldn't help but speak.
"Wax!"
"Wax?" Ling Ya narrated.
"This is wax, the use is the same as that of an oil lamp, but it also has a wonderful point" Yun Wanyue took the lit candle back to the boat hall and dripped the wax oil onto the table, originally Ling Ya was worried that it would catch fire, but he didn't expect Yun Wanyue to drop a few drops while the wax oil was still liquid, sat the candle on it, and then let go of his hand, the candle did not move at all.
The wax oil of the lit candle kept falling on the table, but it did not set the table on fire, unlike an oil lamp.
If the oil lamp is sprinkled on the table and the spark is lit, it will definitely catch fire, which is why the fishermen are always cautious when using the oil lamp, and many families don't even use it, just for fear of accidents.
Liu Datang was dumbfounded.
"I know that we use a kind of fire paint to seal letters, but this thing is more useful, not only can it replace oil lamps, it can be used as a paint seal, it can also be used as medicine,
This is a kind of energy, but it is a kind of insect secretion, I don't know how many wax trees there are in Cangming, but unfortunately our land is limited, and we can't plant this kind of trees in a large area," Yun Wanyue said with a smile.
Then let Yun Ting take the glass lamp and put the candle on the glass lamp, the brilliance was even brighter than the oil lamp.
"It's amazing," Yuan Bao muttered.
Then Yun Wanyue made a simple red light building with red paper, although it was very rough, but everyone saw the candle lit inside, the red lantern did not mention how happy it was, and the paper was not lit, the brightness did not decrease at all, and several people were very shocked.
Crystal looked at Yun Wanyue, and his face was full of admiration, "Madam, this thing is in the world, it will be shocking!" ”
Yun Wanyue nodded, "It's not just shiny gold coins, there are also countless risks, this thing can't appear at will, Yun Ting, you take these to my eldest brother and see what he wants to do!" ”
Yun Ting went to find Wu Mo with a difficult task and a passionate heart.
Although Yun Wanyue was excited, she didn't forget her farming plan, and she talked carefully with Ling Ya and Liu Datang about the fact that the soil had been cleared, and the farm tools at home were ready, but because of this wax flower, Yun Wanyue would mobilize the whole family, including the Liu family, to go to the woods to get all the wax flowers that could come back tomorrow, and as for the future, I would wait for Wu Mo's news.
"Oh my God, what the hell is this, she can make such a thing?" When Feng Jiu lit the candle in the Cloud Garden, he jumped up from the chair calmly.
Wu Yi and Wu Mo were both shocked, carefully studied the candle, and then looked at Yunting.
"The master said that this is a candle, which can replace the oil lamp, but there are not many resources, and it still has ......" and then recounted the words of the cloud crescent moon one by one.
Wu Mo was shocked at the same time, but he was not distracted by excitement, and went to the small boat on the lake in the courtyard to do an experiment, the candle fixed on the table is not easy to turn over, and the candle is poured as long as it does not touch the silk, it is not easy to catch fire, and it will be extinguished because of the wind.
I did a lot of various experiments, including the idea of a candlestick, although it was used for something else, but the candle placed on a candlestick like a candlestick was warmer, and the candle never burned to ashes, and when the cotton thread was burned, the candle went out automatically.
It is easy to extinguish when the wind is strong, and there are advantages and disadvantages compared with oil lamps, and it is also very good to try the paint seal, so the brothers waited patiently all night, and went to look for the cloud crescent early the next morning.
And Yun Wanyue was addicted to making candles, and he also added color to the candles, so Yun Gu went to Meixin City to buy dyes, and came back to boil them with wax flowers.
I made a few red candles made of very wide and neat bamboo, and they were very festive and beautiful.
Yun Wanyue found shells to make wax bases, and the shell wax is mainly good-looking, with a little more smart interest.
There are also heart-shaped candles surrounded by bamboo strips, as well as colored candles on the upper and lower layers.
Here she was happy and interesting, using gold dye to outline the patterns she had simply carved, and when Wu Mo and the three of them entered the ship hall, they saw candles of various shapes on the table, large and small.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
