158. God Luo
Just when many farmers on Hedong Road are busy harvesting wheat, in some places in the south, the corn seeds sown in the beginning of spring this year have already grown chubby corn cobs.
Unlike Luo Yong's extensive planting here, others who get corn seeds basically choose the most fertile land, sow the corn seeds into the soil very carefully, and then take care of them day by day, watching them grow little by little, grow to a height of calves, half a person's height, and one person's height...
Many people find it incredible because no plant of grain can grow one person tall. And the stem is so strong, the leaves are also wide and green, and it looks very different from the grain they have planted in the past.
Sure enough, the Sixth Valley, which was given by God, is extraordinary.
When these corn cobs grew up one by one, those people became even more excited. With such a big ear, how much food would it take to produce.
Among the government officials in various prefectures and counties, there are also officials who are responsible for teaching them to plant the Sixth Valley. Some are local peasant officials, and some are directly sent out from Chang'an City. It is for the smooth promotion and planting of the Sixth Valley. Especially during the period of corn pollination, those of them are running around the fields almost every day.
The corns who grew up under the careful care of everyone did not disappoint them in the end. The big and plump corn cobs and the moist corn kernels of color made people happy to see. These are all food!
After the first batch of corn is harvested, the shocking power is like a thunder sound on the ground. In this era when the yield per mu is generally only one or two dans, and it is rare to reach three dans, as long as the land is still acceptable, it is at least three dans as the base. Four or five dans can only be considered ordinary, six or seven dans are not unusual, and some are well cared for, and more than ten dans are not rare.
Such an amazing yield was really shocking for people of this era, but they didn't know that this was just the old corn variety recovered from the mountainous areas. It tasted good and could also be kept, but the ears were relatively small. If it were replaced by some high-yield varieties in later generations, the yield per mu would only be higher.
In later generations, it was just ordinary to produce thousands of kilograms per mu. Many crops can achieve this yield. However, at this time, the yield per mu is only a matter that only occurs in myths and legends. Some books have also recorded this aspect, but as time goes by, it is no longer possible to prove its authenticity.
But this corn is something that is truly in front of everyone. It originally only appears in myths and legends or books. At this time, it really happens in everyone's lives, and for a moment, many people feel like they are falling into dreams.
Nowadays, I heard that in many places in the south, people have also begun to worship the toilet god. The saying that the Sixth Valley first appeared in a public toilet in Chang'an City was somehow spread. Perhaps the officials worshipped the toilet god too diligently.
Luo Yong didn't know whether he should accept the title of Toilet God. If he accepted it, he would be in full swing now.
The great god Luo, who is in high spirits, has been busy like a top recently. Since Erniang and Peng Er left, their family has been busy.
They have to see the grocery store and make fermented bean curd soap. There are two little babies at home. Wuro has to go to school. Luo Yong and Si Niang are not busy at all and don’t cook anymore. They have been calling food from the Xu family’s house for many days.
After a while of this, Luo Yong began to reflect on himself. It was not that if someone didn't do these businesses, he would starve to death. Why did he make himself so tired?
The business in the cement workshop has not been very good recently, and his disciples have also been idle. Luo Yong thought about it and decided to teach all the skills of bean sauce, soy sauce, fermented bean curd, soy soap, and give them the business to do.
It just so happened that these disciples Luo Yong's apprentices have also lived in Xipo Village. They have developed and developed well, and they may be able to create an industrial park in the future.
Luo Yong talked to his disciples and asked them if they wanted to learn these skills. If they wanted to learn, they would be like Heng Yu and the others. No matter how much money they earn from these skills in the future, they would just be able to share with him as a master at that time.
The disciples naturally had no objection to Luo Yong's proposal, and they even thought that Luo Yong's only 10% was too small.
You should know that if they learn Luo Yong's skills to do business here, they will not only directly take over the old customers he had run, but Luo Yong also provided them with protection, because they are Luo Yong's apprentices. Even if their business is prosperous in the future, no one will dare to cause trouble easily. Moreover, Luo Yong is very popular in this area and is very popular. If you follow him to do business, the benefits of the income is not just that 10% of the income.
After discussing the matter, Luo Yong exposed the ragged paper with groceries written on north and south outside his yard.
Then, the master and apprentice together, and on the side of the roadside at a little in front of the sheep pen, a three-foot square wooden sign was erected with four large characters, north and south groceries. The wooden sign was also made of eaves that blocked the rain, and some not very delicate patterns were carved around it, which looked quite like that.
For these apprentices who were about to start learning his skills, Luo Yong directly moved the inventory in his yard to them.
The houses of these apprentices were originally on both sides of the cement road not far from the sheep pen. At this time, each household opened a shop in the house along the road, which sold sauces and fermented bean curd.
Every type of transaction may not only be able to open a store. According to Luo Yong's meaning, among his disciples, whoever wants to learn can learn anything. In the end, who can truly make a appearance depends on personal ability.
Just like when they first learned to make wool felt mats, some people have not learned it yet, and some people's skills are much better than Luo Yong.
At the beginning, Luo Yong was still quite busy. After his disciples slowly got started, he began to get idle.
Previously, the inventory that Luo Yong directly moved them to them, and they would send the money to Luo Yong every day. Luo Yong only had 90% and left 10% for them as a tap for selling goods.
After these jobs were scored, not only Luo Yong, but also Si Niang Wulang and the others were finally relieved.
On this day, after dinner, the brothers and sisters made a more detailed division of the few remaining work in the family.
"Si Niang is responsible for cooking and washing dishes, Wu Lang is responsible for cleaning the yard and feeding livestock, and Liu Lang is responsible for chicken food, so I will be responsible for all external affairs." Luo Yong said.
"What is external affairs?" asked the little girl Qi Niang with a naive and cute look on her face.
"That means he only cares about external affairs and does not care about family affairs." Si Niang explained to her.
"!" Qi Niang opened her eyes wide. How could this be possible? Didn't it be agreed to do housework together?
"Brother, no one has washed the clothes yet," Goro reminded.
Luo Yong touched his nose. It was true that Erniang and Peng Er had not long been away, and their family had piled up dirty clothes. Of course, this was also a sign of a prosperous life. If it were put in the past, there wouldn't be so much clothes to pile up.
However, when it comes to washing clothes, Si Niang is already busy with the family's three meals a day. It is not appropriate to wash the clothes for her. Wulang is going to school again, so it is enough to assign him a job of cleaning the yard and feeding animals. Liu Lang Qi Niang is too young. After thinking about it, he can only wash the clothes himself.
The next morning, just dawn, Luo Yong carried a large basket of dirty clothes to the village ditch to wash clothes.
I originally thought I had come early enough, so I had to wait for him to wash his clothes before the villagers would come out to move. As a result, just after squatting down, a villager who got up early pushed out of the village with his cart.
"Yo, Sanlang, are you washing clothes?" the villager asked with a smile.
"Oh." Luo Yong responded and asked them: "You're going to enter the city so early?"
"No, the wheat this year has been harvested. I haven't been too busy these days. I plan to go to the city to sell tofu for a few days. The weather is getting hot, so tender tofu is easy to sell." Now there are cement roads from their village to Lishi County. It's not hard to push the cart all the way. This cart can hold a lot of tender tofu, and it's sold out and you can make a lot of money.
"Why don't you get a donkey and pull a cart?" Now most families in their village have livestock, but few have plowing oxen. Basically, every donkey has it.
"Hey, I still have to stay at home to grind it." This tofu didn't fall from the sky. If I don't make it today, what will I sell tomorrow?
After saying a few words, the villagers quickly walked away. Luo used the movements in his hand to wash the clothes quickly and go home early. As a result, he squatted there and washed them without two pieces of clothes. A woman from the village came here with a basket of vegetables to wash them.
"Sanlang, are you washing clothes?" When the woman spoke, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.
"Yeah." Luo Yong responded, and this time he stopped saying anything more.
...
About ten minutes later, many women came out of the village one after another. These women were talking and laughing, and Luo Yong grabbed them among them and silently scrubbed the large basket of dirty clothes in their house...
It's not over yet. After these women finished washing clothes, dishes and food, and returned to their homes, they would have to say a few more words to their family members: "Hey, I saw Luo Sanlang when I was washing vegetables at the entrance of the village, and I was washing clothes."
