As batches of merchants poured into Lishi County, local prices have also changed. The most obvious thing is that restaurants and guesthouses have increased prices compared to before. Although for those who came from Chang'an City, the current price is also quite affordable.

There are also many merchants who go north, but they don’t come here without empty cars. Many people will bring some things that are not or are rare here to sell. The safest one is silk fabrics.

Earlier in Lishi County, a piece of silk was about to be sold for 350 and 60 cents. Now the price has dropped, and it only costs 300 and 20 cents. Many wealthy families in the city have been stocking up recently, for fear that there will be no store after passing through this village.

In fact, the same silk is produced in different places and knitted by different families. The quality is also good and bad.

This time Luo Yong came to the city, and happened to meet a cart of silk cloth pulled from Chang'an. Many people in the city who were familiar with Luo Yong said that this batch of silk was good this time. It was good in color and sufficient in size, thick in fabric, and the price was appropriate, so Luo Yong bought one.

Luo Yong planned to use this piece of silk to make close-fitting clothes for his brothers and sisters. However, Erniang has been very busy recently and has no time to do this, so she had to take it to the widow's house in the village and ask them to help with the sanctions.

Widows are also very common these days, and there are several in their village. The reason why this family is called a widow's family is because their family has three widows, and they have no males. They rely on an old lady to lead two daughters-in-law to support their grandchildren.

The old lady's surname is Sun. On weekdays, the villagers call her Widow Sun. This Widow Sun is also a well-mannered person. There is no man in the family. She led two daughters-in-law and forced her to live a life. Her grandchildren were well-raised.

Two years ago, when Luo Sanlang was still young, he saw this Widow Sun carrying a hoe to the door of someone's house, because the man from that family said a few words to her daughter-in-law.

None of her two daughters-in-law remarried, and this Widow Sun should have made a great contribution. In this case, if another remarries, the life will not be possible. If both of them are married, then the little babies in this yard will have no way to live.

"Sanlang, why are you here?" Seeing that it was Luo's use, Widow Sun hurriedly welcomed her outside the yard.

Since she learned the craftsmanship of making tofu from Luo Sanlang, her family has been better and better. Now her granddaughter has learned the craftsmanship of knitting sweaters and socks from Luo Erniang. Not only can she make money now, she will definitely find a good family in the future.

There were rumors earlier that their nests of women were widows, and her aunt was thirteen or fourteen years old, and there was no one to ask. Now someone came to ask, but she was not in a hurry to marry her granddaughter. This family can make money and her granddaughter has craftsmanship, so it’s okay to stay for one or two years. She must choose this grandson-in-law, and no matter how you have to find someone with a good personality and a strong body. Don’t ask that good grandson to follow their old path.

"I bought a piece of silk from the city and wanted to make some close-fitting clothes for the family, but my second mother was not idle." Luo Yong carried a batch of silk cloth and went into the yard with her.

"But one person needs to do one?" Widow Sun happily took the batch of silk cloth. It was silk cloth. A few years ago, she had a hard time. She took all the fabrics she did for food and did not even leave a good piece of clothing. In a blink of an eye, she had not touched such good cloth for many years.

"I don't care about how much it is. There is so much silk on the horizontal and vertical side. You can do as much as you can." This piece of silk cloth is probably not enough for them to make two pieces for each of them. I've left anything else, so I've made it all.

Apart from the married aunt, their family now has six brothers and sisters, and the needlework girl is all based on the second daughter. Speaking of which, the Luo family is living a good life now, and they eat better than most families at this time, but the clothes on their bodies are really careless.

"Okay, I'll help you measure the size first. Erniang and the others, and let my eldest daughter-in-law come over later." Widow Sun said and took out a hemp rope.

"I heard that Grandma Sun has the best skills. I have to help me make it more appropriately." The implication is that Grandma Sun should make his own clothes by himself, and not hand them over to her daughter-in-law or granddaughter. Er Niang and the others are fine. All of this Grandma Sun's family is also women, so there is no problem of avoiding suspicion. Luo Yong is a little different here.

"I can save you, so be at ease, so I will do it for you very well." Widow Sun smiled.

She is not that confused person either. She was at her parents' home in the past, but she was much more particular about it than in Xipo Village. How could she not understand this matter clearly?

After the measurement was finished, Luo Yong asked about the wages.

"What kind of wages are needed? Only those cloth heads. If you don't want them, just leave them for me." said Widow Sun.

"Then how to make clothes is not easy," Luo Yong said hurriedly.

"That's the market, Sanlang doesn't need to say much." The poor families can't waste fabrics. Those extra cloth heads can also make two small clothes for her youngest two grandchildren. This silk cloth is much softer than linen.

Those who are willing to give cloth heads are already considered generous. Some people even have to take the cloth heads back and only give a little bit of wages.

Since the other party had already said this, Luo Yong stopped talking and said thank you again, and then left the yard of Widow Sun's house.

When she walked away, Widow Sun put away the silk cloth and said to her granddaughter whose little face was red on the kang and was knitting a sweater sleeve: "What's the blushing? Luo Sanlang hasn't looked at you any longer after entering the house."

"..." Her granddaughter buried her head lower, but her two ears became more and more red.

"Do you know he has no intention of you?" Grandma Sun said again.

"I know." Her granddaughter replied softly.

"It's good if you know." Grandma Sun sighed, sat down on the edge of the kang, and said, "If Luo Sanlang can take a fancy to the daughter of a family in the village, no one can tell you. If he is interested in you, how can I not be happy for you? It's just that my eyes are really looking at you, but he is unintentional to you."

"I know." How could she not know that Luo Sanlang had no intention of her?

"It's good if you know. Don't think about these things all day long. Be careful to keep your mind stuck." Widow Sun said helplessly.

If a young man wants to be moved, no one can stop him. He can only remind her every few days and tell her not to be confused by those delusions.

Not to mention her granddaughter, there are a few of the teenage girls in the village who have never had the dream of marrying Luo Sanlang. Many adults in the village are happy to see it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Sanlang has no intention at all.

Widow Sun is also optimistic about Luo Sanlang. No matter what family fortune or career or character, there are probably few young people who can match him in this radius of a hundred miles.

The teenager, who is a young man, looks pretty pretty, and his behavior is not as superficial and impetuous as other teenagers. When you look at him, he seems to be pretending to be a lot of things and treat others without any malice, it is not a question that these girls in the village are moved. If such a young man is not loved by others, that would be really strange.

On this side, Luo Yong returned to his yard and buried his head in making his wool felt cushions. As the orders continued to increase, he now urgently wanted to improve the efficiency of felt making.

The main methods of felting wool felt are needle felt method and wet felt method. The needle felt method is to use fine needles to poke. The wool felt made in this way is relatively fine, but the speed is quite slow.

The wet felt method is to pour hot water on the wool felt, and after repeated rubbing, slapping and rolling, the purpose of quickly forming a felt is achieved. The wet felt method is fast, but the details are inevitably out of care.

Luo used the mats he made before, and the front of the mat was made of needle felt, and the back of the mat was only one color, so wet felt could be used.

These days he wanted to try wet felt on the front. He did not just use wet felt, but just lay a few main colors first, and then add other details through needle felt later. This would save some time, which was a test of the producer's skills. If you are not careful, the flowers will leave.

Luo used this busyness until it was dark before coming out of the backyard. Ernie had already finished feeding the pigs and had just returned from outside.

There was a scent of fragrance coming from the grocery store. Luo Yong walked over and saw that Siniang and Wuro had already prepared the meal tonight. It was not a complicated thing, but a large pot of hot rice cakes, which is noodle soup.

In the soup, there was a glutinous rice dish that the aunt brought from the Lin family, cut some mutton and sprinkled with a small handful of chopped green onions. Such a pot of noodle soup is already a very good food in this era of material scarcity.

Siniang and Wulang made noodle soup from the pot, and placed one bowl after another on the table. It is common for children aged seven or eight in the village to wash clothes and cook, and some of them followed them to the ground early. Siniang and Wulang Ruo said that one was ten years old and the other was eight years old, and they were not young at this time.

"Brother, it's okay to try it." Si Niang looked at Luo Yong with a smile.

Without giving chopsticks, Luo Yong had to suck at the edge of the bowl, thinking it was a little salty, but said in his mouth: "Yes, this cucumber is delicious."

At this time, Ernie took a pair of chopsticks and distributed them to everyone. She sat down and took a bite. She frowned. She was about to say why the soup was so salty, but when Luo Yong shook her eyes, she swallowed the salty soup as soon as she reached her mouth.

"It's delicious, Liulang Qiniang also eat more." Luo Yong praised him and took a few frozen pears outside the yard and soaked them in cold water. After finishing the meal, they must be thirsty.

Liulang and Qi Niang are still young, and children are easy to coax. Once the atmosphere is stir-fried, they will also think it is delicious when they hear the brothers and sisters say it is delicious. Qi Niang's silly girl has added two more times.

"How is it, Qi Niang, is the bread made by Sister delicious?" Luo Yong induced him again.

"It's delicious!" Qi Niang replied crisply.

"Hehe!" Si Niang listened from the side, laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

...

That night, Luo Sanlang drank a lot of water, but fortunately, there was hot water on the kang, so he could drink as much as he wanted.

The next day, Luo Yong was still busy in the backyard, and only came out when someone came to find him occasionally.

Erniang was also busy with her own. Many of the people who came to buy peony cushions these days were attracted by Luo Yong's turtleneck sweater and placed an order. So Erniang mobilized several girls in the village to knit sweaters together. She wanted to knit sweaters and feed pigs herself, and there was no time to stop.

The grocery shops in front were basically handed over to Siniang and Wuro, and Liulang and Qiniang were also playing there during the day.
