Beeswax refers to the wax secreted by the wax glands of worker bees. Bees secrete beeswax into white opaque pentagons, which eventually form the cells in the hive.

After collecting the honeycombs, pure beeswax can be obtained after certain processing.

Lin You collected honey twice and accumulated a lot of hives. She collected the hives into large buckets and stored them. She collected the steps on how to make beeswax on the Internet and asked Yao Hongxia.

Yao Hongxia has been watching beekeeping at home since she was a child. She also has some experience in making beeswax and gave Lin You a lot of useful suggestions.

So one afternoon, Lin You started the live broadcast again.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin You, long time no see."

As soon as the familiar opening remarks came out, 50,000 people quickly poured into the live broadcast room.

[Milk Tea at 37°: Long time no see, you finally remembered your password (Yin Yang Wei Qi.jpg)]

[Nian Niannian: Who says it’s not the case? I regret scolding your old employer that time. Since the anchor became financially free, the frequency of broadcasts has not been as good as before (pointing.jpg)]

[Yuyoudangdang: Welcome to the broadcast of Youyou! Reward a rain of fireworks! 】

[Hi yu: Are there cookies today? Are there cookies today? Are there cookies today? Are there cookies today? 】

Lin You: "We have five thousand pieces of biscuits today, but because there are so many people, we still limit the purchase today to one...one piece per person."

She didn't want to pick it like this, but wasn't the production limited?

Moreover, the number of people in the live broadcast room is still rising steadily, and it is impossible to say that it will reach 100,000 online people today.

[Jiujiu: Five thousand! The non-chiefs shed tears.]

[Xixi’s mother: It’s time to compete in hand speed, sisters! 】

[Fangqing: Woo hoo hoo, I cried so loudly. 】

Ignoring the cries on the barrage, Lin You started today's live broadcast on his own.

"The steps to make beeswax are not complicated. We first add a small amount of water to the big pot..."

Lin You set up a large pot in the yard and heated the water he poured in. He took out the thermometer he bought in advance and put the hive into the water when the hot water reached 60 degrees.

The melting point of beeswax is around 62 degrees, that is, if you put the beeswax in, it will quickly melt in the hot water.

Keep the heat low throughout the process to prevent the beeswax from sticking to the bottom. When the beeswax and hot water are fused together without any residue, pour the raw materials into the prepared gauze and filter.

Put the filtered beeswax into a clean container and wait until the temperature drops below 60 degrees. The stiff honeycomb will turn into golden solid beeswax.

Lin You carefully observed the beeswax produced to ensure that there were no impurities and odor, and then said with satisfaction: "This is the process of making beeswax. Next, we will further purify it."

You should know that the beeswax that is simply purified once is golden in color. After purification and decolorization again, the beeswax will turn into a light yellow or slightly transparent color. It is also a relatively common type on the market.

[Qi Yun Qi Yu: How amazing, I always thought beeswax was the kind of candle that can be lit, but it turns out it is made from the honeycombs of little bees!]

[Qiuqiu: This is my first time seeing beeswax! It looks delicious, a bit like a mousse cake... What can this be used for! 】

[Fengqingyundan: Beeswax can be used as medicine after drying, and beeswax is the main ingredient used to make lipsticks and cosmetics. 】

[Meow Meow: I know about lipstick! An ancient style blogger I follow often uses beeswax and various red ingredients to make lipstick! 】

[Jiang Yue: When I was a child, I also saw the beekeepers in the village making beeswax. Once I had rhinitis, so my family went to ask for some leftover wax water from making beeswax. I dropped it in my nose and it healed quickly! 】

Lin You continued to decolorize the beeswax while interacting with the audience on the barrage: "Wax water does have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, but everyone should still pay attention to the fact that beeswax can treat rhinitis because it contains antibacterial ingredients and vitamins.

But you still need to ask your doctor for specific use. Sometimes wax water is not available, and you can consume honey and some foods containing vitamin C, which can improve rhinitis."

[Feng Yun: I have learned a lot, but will there be a lottery today? Is this beeswax going to be drawn? 】

[Eating grapefruit: Of course it would be great if I could get it, but I really don’t know what I can do with it.]

[Meow Meow: What the heck, just wash it first. I have a sister who does handicrafts. I can give the beeswax to her! 】

[Tweet: Then I won’t smoke anymore, my sisters are all handicapped...]

[Qingyue: Haha, who believes you? I was deceived during the live broadcast before. At that time, they were all talking about what happened to Lin You. But when the lottery was drawn, I was the only one who didn’t participate in the co-authorship! 】

[Feng Yun: Don’t say that, at that time they were all anti-fans, how can everyone be so scheming now...]

Lin You separated the twice-purified beeswax and saw that the barrage was already arguing about whether to draw a lottery or not.

"... Now we have a lottery, a total of five kilograms, and ten lucky viewers will be drawn, one for each person."

Lin You didn't use beeswax. He kept some for himself because of the detoxification effect of beeswax. The wax water can be effective against rhinitis. Beeswax can treat burns and poisonous snake bites.

She made a total of eight kilograms today, keeping three kilograms for herself and giving away the rest.

However, Lin You still reminded you: "If you don't need it, try to give the opportunity to others."

The quality of this batch of beeswax seems to be good. Yao Hongxia said before that her honey is good. Even the honeycomb is bright and has no black spots. The beeswax produced has a honey fragrance. Just now, an audience member said it looks like a mousse cake. Lin

Yuya thinks so, the prepared beeswax makes people want to take a bite.

When Lin You said this, more than half of the people participating in today's lottery were suddenly reduced, and the remaining people were really useful.

[Xunyue: Choose me, choose me! Handmade bloggers are so eager to buy some good beeswax recently!]

[Shengxiang: To be honest with the blogger, I took it back to my grandpa. My grandpa is an old Chinese medicine doctor and should be able to use it.】

[Feifeiyu: I...I said I brought it back to repair my lipstick, do you believe it? I broke the lipstick my husband gave me three years ago, and I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so I thought I would get some beeswax to repair it. 】

…

Lin You selected a few audience members with legitimate reasons backstage and quickly gave out the list.

Next comes the moment that attracts the most attention.

"It's time for the cookies to be put on the shelves, let's go three, two, one..."

The audience at the other end was in a hurry, and soon all five thousand cookies were sold out.

[Yuyoudangdang: Ten seconds...are you still human? 】

[Feng Se: Woo hoo hoo, I didn’t grab it... It shouldn’t be, my hand speed has been honed during Double Eleven. 】

[Tweet: I grabbed one, happy~]

Seeing people who were either happy or frustrated on the barrage, Lin You smiled slightly: "Today's live broadcast ends here, I wish everyone happy!"

She ran fast, leaving a group of depressed fans behind her.

[Don’t run away! Tell me when the next live broadcast will be!]

****

A few days later, a certain film and television base.

A young girl was wearing short sleeves, a hat on her head, and a large cosmetic case on her body. She looked tired all over her body.

"Xiaobai, your express delivery has arrived!"

It only took four months after I joined the team, and I managed to get to know the front desk of the hotel.

Bai Xunyue received the express and weakly thanked her, then went upstairs and entered her standard room.

This hotel is average among film and television bases, neither the best nor the worst. As a makeup artist who has been in the industry for two years, Bai Xunyue usually follows this standard when working with the team.

The group that I joined this time was a fairy tale crew. Bai Xunyue did not join the team, but was called over temporarily by her senior brother. The weather was getting hotter, and both costume dramas and fairy tale dramas were the most painful. Bai Xunyue started at four o'clock in the morning.

Get up as soon as possible, go to the dressing room for a meeting, and then sort out the makeup that matches today's plot. When the actors go to work at eight o'clock, they will start four or five hours of busy work.

After all these things are done, you still need to prepare things for tomorrow. Only then can you go back and rest.

Bai Xunyue threw the makeup box aside and took a deep sleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark. She picked up her phone and ordered a takeaway, and then she remembered her express delivery.

When I opened the express delivery, there was a light yellow lump wrapped in foam.

"It's here so soon."

Bai Xunyue picked up the piece of beeswax and saw that the texture of the beeswax was fine and there were watery ripples on the upward side of the beeswax. It felt very heavy in the hand.

After Bai Xunyue finished eating, she put her phone up and pointed it at the table.

Unlike bloggers like Lin You who focus on live streaming, Bai Xunyue is actually a blogger who focuses on short videos.

In her spare time, Bai Xunyue often makes some lipsticks, and occasionally shares some of her makeup experiences. Today, what she is going to make is a lipstick that she mixes the color by herself.

Put the prepared edible color powder into the prepared essential oil, and the color of the color powder will quickly melt into the essential oil. Next, place the beaker containing the color paste on the heater, and cut off about five grams of beeswax.

Let the beeswax and color paste mix together as the temperature rises. After cooling naturally, add two vitamins, and finally pour the prepared ingredients into the prepared lipstick mold.

Bai Xunyue muttered while doing it: "Why did the lipstick melt so fast today..."

Not only is it fast, the color is also exceptionally uniform and shiny.

Bai Xunyue made three colors at once, namely rotten tomato color, orange-red with a hint of orange, and one extremely glamorous bright red.

When the three lipsticks were finished, Bai Xunyue was extremely satisfied. That night, she worked hard on post-production and sent the video out.

I don’t know if it was because of the good traffic that night, but when Bai Xunyue saw it the next day, it actually had nearly 10,000 views!

[Wuwu: This color is absolutely amazing! Will the blogger sell it? I like this Rotten Tomatoes color! It’s my dream color! I went to several brand counters before and never met such a decent one.

Tomato color!]

[Suisui Yueyue: Me too, this is a true red color, between aunt’s red and maple leaf red. How did the blogger adjust the color? I offer it to my knees! 】
