I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 21

But Lin Zaishan grabbed him and pressed him on the seat.Then, he turned to look at Guo Yi: "We came here with sincerity!"

"Ha! Sincerity? I'd like to see how much sincerity Uncle Shan has brought?" Guo Yi said while turning his head to look at Yang Liwen, who had been watching the show by the side.

At this time, Yang Liwen had completely bowed down under the skirt of this handsome young man.

She stared blankly at his performance.

The patriarch's meeting had just begun, and one of the opponents was already convinced by his past reputation.

Then, with one against two, he didn't lose the wind at all, and beat the enemy with a completely crushing posture.

At this moment, Yang Liwen saw the handsome young man's eyes and immediately understood.

"Cough!" He settled down, with a playful smile on his face, and brought forward the conditions discussed earlier.

"impossible!"

"Someone agrees!"

Two diametrically opposed opinions came from Lin San'er and Cyclops respectively.

But Lin Zaishan was frowning and thinking, seeing Lin San'er looking at him anxiously, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, as you say!"

"Big brother!?"

Seeing what he said, Lin San'er immediately stood up anxiously, grabbed his arm, and tugged hard.

Lin Zaishan just waved his hand: "That's it!"

As long as the coal can be dug for money, these posted things will be able to earn back sooner or later.

Seeing that he was so decisive, Guo Yi couldn't help but secretly nodded.This guy is very courageous, able to bend and stretch.Unlike Lin San'er with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, she has no city at all.Narrow-minded, without vision.

After the matter was agreed upon, Guo Yi would not ask any further questions.It was completely left to Yang Liwen and Lin Zaishan to coordinate.

And he began to make candles on a large scale.

In the yard, two stoves were built with bricks and stones, and two large pots were set up.Put the returned paraffin into the pot, turn on the fire to heat and boil.

And let the pillars carve bundles of bamboo poles from the middle to make the simplest wax filling mold.

The pillars and his mother rubbed the wicks aside.

Several people were busy all day, until the evening, the first batch of more than 500 candles was completed.

Guo Yi randomly selected a few candles from the more than 500 candles and lit them on fire.

Mr. Yang stood beside him, looked at it strangely, and kept nodding his head: "Well, not bad! It's much brighter than an oil lamp, and you don't need to turn it on and off from time to time."

The old thirteenth man, Yang Licheng, came to deliver the rabbit cage today. Seeing that the pillar was carving bamboo, he also volunteered to stay and help.

At this moment, seeing the result of a busy day, he was also full of joy: "Well, it is brighter than an oil lamp, and it looks good. Brother Yi, do you plan to sell so many candles?"

"Yeah!" Guo Yi nodded, with a smile on his handsome face, and he responded, "These wax oils are also carried back from the mountain with great effort. I plan to be like Shi Tan. , and everyone will share the money after the sale.”

"Hiss!" Hearing this, Yang Licheng couldn't help taking a deep breath.There was an uncontrollable look of surprise on his face.

He is a well-known old carpenter in ten miles and eight towns. He usually travels from village to household, and he is more knowledgeable than Yang Liming and the others.

Such a good candle would cost at least 20 Wen in Jiangling City.

Those five hundred sticks cost 10 guan at least.

10 coins a day... Good guy!

If you make a thousand?

Alas…!OK!
Looking at his expression, Guo Yi knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Uncle Thirteen, I'm not as optimistic as you think. This thing is not the same as stone carbon. Stone carbon is a necessity of life. If you don't burn it, you can burn it." It may freeze to death. As for candles, only rich families and scholars will use them.

If they are sold in my uncle's grocery store, there are only 500 of them, and it is estimated that they will not be sold out in a month. "

"Ah? What should we do then?" Yang Licheng's face immediately collapsed.He really didn't think about it.

Guo Yi was right. Candles are indeed not necessities of life.Should be considered a luxury.

Who has nothing to do with lighting candles but rich losers?
Only that prodigal son Shi Chong would use candles as firewood.

"Ah!" Guo Yi sighed: "There are two ways. One, it will be the first day soon. And after the first day, it will be the Lantern Festival. I have already inquired that there is also a lantern festival in Jiangling City. Although it is not as good as Beijing, but it shouldn’t be too inferior.”

"Yes!" Yang Licheng slapped his hands suddenly, and exclaimed with joy: "Shangyuan Lantern Festival! The Shangyuan Lantern Festival will be held for three consecutive days! A lot of candles will definitely be used!"

But now there are still twenty days before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival...

It's too long.

Guo Yi was still frowning, or, "Or, we should first find a traveler and sell them to him at a low price."

Pedestrian?
"In our village, there are often traveling traders." Mr. Yang continued: "It was late autumn, and they came to collect straw mats."

Guo Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard that, you didn't say anything.

Perhaps, you should go to Jiangling City to have a look. It controls Bashu in the west, connects Xianghan in the north, leads the rivers and lakes, and refers to Wuyue.

Known as the thoroughfare of the seven provinces, there must be many traveling merchants.

Once you have made up your mind, don't hesitate any longer.After arranging the things at home, the sky just got brighter, and I got up early.

Because I'm going to the city to discuss business today, I have to decorate well.

After washing up, I took out a new suit from the bottom of the box and changed into it.

The azure blue cross-necked slim brocade robe, with a belt embellished with jade around the waist.

This was on the first day of last year, when my father was still alive, my mother specially bought high-quality fabrics and sewed them for him by herself.

Paired with his tall and straight figure, he stands out from the crowd.

But he did not wear a matching bachelor's head.

Instead, he tied his long hair up high, tied it with a hairpin, and tied it into a high ponytail.

Extraordinarily refreshing and neat.

It's not the dress of a literati, but it has the meaning of being a chivalrous man.

Suave, wild and uninhibited.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Brother Yi, no wonder Lin San'er said that you are a roc flying back from the big city!" Yang Liwen circled him twice in amazement.

"That Lin San was a little mean and selfish, but he was right this time. Brother Yi is indeed a roc that flew back from the big city. Our lives have been much easier since we didn't see him coming!"

"That's right, brother Yi is a scholar!" Yang Liwen and Yang Lixin couldn't stop praising.

He is going into the city with the team sending carbon dioxide today.

And the more than 500 candles were also packed into wooden boxes and brought into the city together.

For a journey of more than 50 miles, everyone took turns to carry the burden and ride the donkey cart.

Finally, after two rotations, I saw the prostrate 'behemoth' in the distance.

The city wall is more than two feet high and stretches for more than ten miles.Majestic and majestic!
As the footsteps approached, it became more and more oppressive.Even those who are used to the high-rise buildings of later generations can't help but applaud this magnificent project in front of them.

The only thing that makes people complain is that they still have to charge money when they go to the city to do business!

　Is there any book list to be added?
