Beeswax

Once everyone was seated, Zhang Dongmei came over with a basket of scallion pancakes. Setting the basket on the table, she said with a smile, "Aunty made plenty of pancakes, so everyone, eat more."

"Thank you, Aunty," the children chorused happily.

After they finished the snacks, the children went to wash the mushrooms while Chen Jianmin processed the honeycombs with the help of Chen Jianguo. Both of them borrowed cheesecloth from Dong Huang to filter the beeswax.

Although they could eat the beeswax, Chen Jianmin planned to keep it for another use. Instead of making it into candles, he decided to keep a small amount at home in case he needed it to fix the furniture and sell the rest to Bajie. 

Last time he brought beeswax to him, Bajie was willing to pay 500 yuan for a can of beeswax.

He could get two cans of beeswax from a bucket of honeycombs, and with three buckets, he could get six cans, which could be sold for 3,000 yuan.
