Chapter 122: Buy Candles
Huang Pingcheng came out alone at home thinking of ways to weave a different and beautiful lotus lantern.
However, Huang Pingcheng came up with several beautiful lotus flowers that were woven.
One is to weave a big lotus in the middle, and four small lotus in the four corners of the big lotus in the middle are weaved, like stars arching the moon.
The center of the five lotus flowers is weaved with bamboo slices to create a lotus pod, which can be used as a lotus pod, or candles can be placed in it, and placed directly in the river to set up a lamp.
The second type is that Huang Pingcheng weaves a lotus pendant. The lotus is woven in small and exquisite, only larger than an egg, and can be hung on the waist or on a fan. The upper part is a green rope that runs through the main lotus, and the lower part is a green rope that turns the green rope into spikes, which is very exquisite and beautiful.
Another kind of lotus lantern that can be carried in the hand. The hand rods that are held are made of bamboo. There are a single lotus woven at the bottom, and there are also lanterns where the four corners of the big lotus woven into woven four small lotus.
After three days, the Huang family removed the gravel and weeds from the newly purchased foundation, and the Huang family removed the Huang Congjiang brothers and the other two busy with the foundation.
All the others joined the knitting lotus lantern.
Most of them were weaving the three kinds of lotus flowers before weaving.
Afterwards, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Pingcheng to weave a lotus leaf on the bottom to one side. The lotus leaf slowly woves a white lotus on its head. From a distance, the green leaves and lotus flowers are slowly placed on the water surface, which looks like a growing lotus.
Afterwards, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Pingcheng to weave a finished lotus in the shape of a font.
Huang Yiyun guessed that he weaved five kinds of lotus flowers, some hanging around his waist, some lifted on his hands, and some can put lotus lanterns. After the types were almost the same, Huang Pingcheng and the others would weave enough quantities.
"I wonder how the candles in the town are sold?" Huang Yiyun, who was fighting on the side, asked.
Now it’s only five days away from Dragon Boat Festival.
Now the atmosphere of festivals has become increasingly strong, and people have begun to sell lanterns again.
However, when Huang Yiyun went to the town once, he found that most of the lanterns sold in the town were woven together with paper and bamboo strips.
It’s not like the Huang family, it’s all woven out of bamboo strips.
Not only is it hand-made and fine, Huang Yiyun put a lotus into the river in Qingshan Village, and saw the woven home slowly drifting into the distance until the lotus will not sink until it disappears.
The lotus made by our home is exquisite and beautiful. I am afraid that on the night of Dragon Boat Festival, when the lotus lanterns are put on, they can be sold at a good price.
"The candles sold in the town are not cheap? Just this piece requires ten copper plates." Huang Conghe gestured in his hand.
Huang Yiyun has been to the grocery store in the town and bought things. He also knows the piece, which is about ten centimeters long. However, Huang Yiyun did not expect that it would be so expensive.
"Dad, when the lotus lanterns are put on the Dragon Boat Festival, the lotus will light candles and lights. At that time, the candles should be sold again. Although the lotus we make candles can be lighted, they only sell lotus but there are no candles. The people who sell our lotus will buy candles. Dad, you said, one thing is, it is not to delay people's time when people walk through two places." Huang Yiyun thought for a while and said.
"It costs a lot of money to buy candles. We don't know how many candles we have to buy. If we buy them back and cannot sell them, wouldn't it be smashed into our hands?" Huang Liu said hesitantly after hearing this.
"Actually? We don't have to buy candles. We can discuss with the owner of the grocery store in the town. How much candles are needed? We can give him all the money for the candles. If we can't sell them, we will return the candles to the owner of the grocery store and ask him to refund us." Huang Congjiang said in his heart.
"The candles in the lotus lantern don't have to be so long," said Huang Li.
"This is easy to deal with. We can cut off a candle and cut it into four sections. One section sells three copper plates. I guess a piece of candle can be burned for a long time. At least when the lotus lantern is placed, it will not burn it out. The price and length are just right. People who can buy lotus lanterns will not be expensive." Huang Yiyun replied after a smile.
"High, it's really high. In this way, in addition to selling lotus lanterns, we can make money, we can also make a batch of candles to sell, or make a fortune." Huang Congjiang's eyes lit up when he heard the eldest sister say this, and he raised his thumbs to Huang Yiyun.
But Huang Congjiang's tone was filled with a pity.
It would be great if the eldest girl was a boy. Our Huang family made a fortune and could rely on the eldest girl to pass on the family business.
However, the eldest girl is a girl, and even if she is a girl, she doesn’t care. It’s just that the eldest girl will get married sooner or later, and I don’t know which boy from the family will go there if he gets cheaper.
"Then, mom, I'll go to the grocery store in the town to ask about the candles." Huang Congjiang said in a speech that he couldn't sit still after he felt what the eldest sister said.
"Well, let's get some money, so I'll try to get a hundred candles first." Huang Li said after thinking about it.
"Mom, give me more money. If you can put the money first, let's get more. Anyway, this thing is small and it's not a problem to hold a lot of money in a backpack." Huang Congjiang said without hesitation.
"Okay." In the end, Huang Li gave three taels of silver.
Most of the lotus woven by the Huang family during this period were weaving lotus lanterns that could be placed.
I guess it looks like thousands of flowers now. According to the market price of candles, you can buy three hundred copper pieces per ten.
If three hundred candles can be cut into four sections, that is another thousand two hundred sections.
In addition, some time, some lotus can be weaved, and the number of candles and lotus is almost the same.
As for the lotus that can be hung on the waist, it is just a small thing. Huang Pingcheng doesn't plan to weave it out too much, but just sell it by the way.
When Huang Yiyun saw that the small lotus was quite beautiful, she specially asked the third sister to wove it out by herself, and the large lotus lantern was woven out by the adults.
Originally, after Huang Pingcheng saw the eldest sister teach the third sister to weave the small lotus lanterns, he originally wanted to waste time and not weave those things.
After thinking about it, Huang Pingcheng slapped himself in the face many times before, but he still held back these words.
The lotus that can be hanged on the waist is small and beautiful, but it does not have much material to weave. It is fast and can weave one in less than a cup of tea.
However, after weaving, the ears on the lower end need to be made into strips one by one with a knife.
