66. The twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Zhenguan
Luo Yong used to be too lazy to care about these parents' shortcomings.
Living in the 21st century, in that town, he just kept his life closed and said nothing, as long as he didn't take them seriously, it would be painless and it would be fine.
It’s very different now. If a person’s reputation is bad, even if he goes out to buy some salt, the person who sells salt may even show his face. When walking on the street, he may be spit on others.
Although the aunt is considered a smart person, she is still a little younger. The so-called old man, the ghost, the old man, the smart man, the more she lives, the smarter she is. She is obviously unable to play with the older Lin family. If Luo Yong hadn't stood up for her this time, she would have been waiting to suffer.
If you only talk about those little thoughts, not to mention Aunt Luo, even Luo Yong may not be the opponent of the two Lin families.
Only in this Xipo Village, he is now respected. Some people listen to his words and are willing to believe it. Otherwise, it would not be so easy just by just these few words.
If the words he said in the village that day had reached Lin's father and mother, they would not have any difficulties with Aunt Luo.
Luo Yong was unwilling to interfere with the Lin family's right and wrong things, so he just wanted Aunt Luo not to suffer any losses.
As soon as Aunt Luo’s affairs came to an end, Xu Erlang and others started to move soil at the entrance of the village.
Originally, it was not suitable for tides in the cold winter, but the Xu family was really anxious. Now there are many noble people coming to Lishi County. In addition, the Dongpo Pork of the Luo family is in full swing again. If you build the guest house one day earlier, you can earn money one day earlier.
The Xu family recruited workers in the city, and each person was allowed to eat two meals a day, and gave him a bucket of food after doing two days of work.
Many people in the city are also rushing to go. Even though the situation at home is much better this year than in previous years, making bamboo chains and wool felt mats can make some income, but many families are still reluctant to use money to buy food. In the eyes of the people nowadays, Kaiyuan Tongbao is a very expensive thing, hard currency, and difficult to make, and many people are reluctant to spend it. At this time, I heard that there is a place to earn food, so I naturally have to go. In addition, the young and strong family are often the most edible, and they can still take care of two full meals there.
Xu Erlang just chose the strong body and looked at the loyal people hiring, and he chose twenty or thirty people in the future.
The twenty or thirty young and strong people dug the foundation, and the mud dumped the mud dumped the mud dumped, were busy outside the village entrance. The villagers in Xipo Village also heard that they were going to build a guest house there. They knew that they were Luo Yong's disciples, but no one had any objections.
Although I was worried that no one would stay at home after his guest house was repaired, most villagers were still quite open-minded.
When their guest house is built, if some merchants who bought tofu, dried and frozen tofu from them can stay in this guest house, wouldn’t they save the cost of delivering goods to the city? Can a truck of goods save four cents, how much money can they save in the whole year?
Thinking of this, many people in Xipo Village are worried about those who are determined to be a man.
The man Dinghu was not afraid. The goatee Yang Dalang had already said to Wang Dang and others: "When their guest house is built, if there are many merchants, we will still be porters. I see that there are often nobles in Chang'an here, and it is better to give money than ordinary merchants."
Because they are currently living in the yard built by the Xu brothers and others, they owe a favor. In the past few days, these men of Dehu will come to help if they are free.
Hot water, mud, kang baking, and foundations were dug deep and wide, so the Xu family was really a big deal.
The three brothers of the Xu family went to Taiyuan City last year to put on the kang, and now they are making wool felt seat cushions for Na Luo Sanlang. I heard that the three brothers are all very skilled. If the three of them work together, how can others make money at the speed.
Those men of the decisive Hu saw the scene of the Xu brothers working hard in their careers, and their hearts were also very passionate. They also wanted to do their careers.
Luo Yong would come over to see the construction site at the entrance of the village from time to time. After just experiencing the Lin family, he would feel a lot of emotion in his heart after looking at the Xu brothers.
The old man from the Xu family is not very smart and capable. He is just a generous person in his own children. These children of his family are also sensible and can share the burden with his parents at a young age. When he grows up, his brothers and sisters are still very united.
Both of them worked hard to raise children, but the current situation of the two families is completely different. Apart from some innate nature, the Lin family's couple is too partial. Now that things have come to this point, there is no other way except to separate the family. The old couple doesn't seem to be willing to give up easily.
Luo Yong also hoped that the Xu family's guest house could be repaired early, and then he could get Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang out of the Lin family's yard early.
On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, Luo Yong saw Yang Dalang at the construction site and said to him:
"In this cold winter, there are fewer merchants coming to Lishi County to purchase goods. I see that you have people idle in the yard every day. It would be better to buy some fermented bean curd and other items from me to Dinghu County. When you come back, you will bring me some dates back, but you don't have to sell them at Dinghu's price. As long as it is a little cheaper than Lishi County, I will buy them from you."
"I'm just thinking about it. Boss Wang entered the city today and has not come back yet. I will talk to him when he comes back."
Yang Dalang never competes with his brothers to make money. He likes to find some easy-to-use jobs in the village to help people kill pigs and clean pig pens. First, he is a lonely man, and he has no wife and children to support him. Second, his health has been injured before, and he does not have such a good foundation as others.
"When you go to Dinghu County, can you have a place to rest on the road?" Luo Yong asked him. In this cold winter, it would be too difficult if you can't find a place to stay on the road.
"It's true. I often work as a porter with others, and I'm familiar with it all the way." Hedong Road is not a wasteland. No matter how small the population is, you can always find a place to stay in the day after traveling. Of course, there are hot water on the kang and the price is not expensive. In some remote villages, if you only need to give the three or two cents a little, the host family will be very happy.
The reason why Luo Yong mentioned this to Yang Dalang was because he recently discovered that the dates in Dinghu County were not only cheaper than theirs, but also generally had a slightly sweeter level than theirs.
After the Xu family's guest house was built, Luo Yong asked Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang to make date cakes and Dongpo pork there to sell them for money.
From then on, the production of jujube cake is no longer limited to the five days. It can be made on weekdays. It is still sold at a penny every five days. The price can be sold slightly higher on weekdays. If it is a rich merchant and noble person, he will not care about the slightest price difference. If it is a poor and frugal person, he will only wait for the five days.
Aunt Luo has always known how to make the date cake. Every time she comes to help, Luo Yong doesn't hide it from her.
Lin Wulang was a honest person. He would do whatever he asked him to do, and he would not look at and ask more questions about the extra ones. He had even known the step of beating eggs. The making of the jujube cake was actually no longer a secret to him.
Even so, when Lin’s father and mother secretly asked him if he could make cakes on his back, he said he would not, and he refused to say much about the rest. This honest man also has his own stubbornness in some things, and most people don’t want to break it up for him easily.
It is precisely because of this that Luo can use this time to hand over this matter to him and the aunt, because he also realized that although his brother-in-law is a little more honest, he is rarely a principled person and is not afraid that he will be coaxed by others with sweet words.
"Boss, I think this deal is done." That night, Yang Dalang told Wang Dang and others about Luo Yong's proposal.
"Yes, boss, I suffered a loss in the past, but I was not familiar with the place. Now I am familiar with this place, which is close to home, and I have acquaintances like Luo Sanlang. It is safe to run some small business deals between the two places." After Yang Dalang said that, other brothers immediately agreed.
"Earlier, I heard about Luo Sanlang's name in Dinghu County. Someone took fermented bean curd and other items from him and sold them. Although the journey was a little closer, it could not be sold at a very high price. There is always a profit, right?"
"It is also suitable for him to bring some dates when he comes back. He wants as much as he wants. He is not picky and not picky. It is also a lower price than the market price."
"In our Dinghu County, there are also some merchants traveling between Chang'an City and the northwest region. We transport fermented bean curd and other goods to Dinghu County from here. If they can buy it, they can directly transport goods to the south or north. Isn't it convenient?"
"You think so far before you have done this business."
"No matter what, this transaction will not lose money, right?"
"Yes! This deal is done!"
Having made up my mind, the brothers and others stopped delaying. That night, they went to the villagers to buy some dried tofu, and then went to Luojiayuan to buy fermented bean curd and other items.
Luo Yong knew that these people were not very well-off, so he said that they would sell these fermented bean curd sauce first. When they got the money, they could just exchange it for him to get it back.
Wang Dang and his brothers were naturally very grateful. Although they had been in the wind and snow these days, they had earned some money and food, but the things from Luo Sanlang's family were not cheap. That jar of fermented bean curd cost five cents. Even the brothers emptied their pockets, and they were afraid they could not buy a few cans.
"I'll leave tomorrow?" Luo Yong asked them.
"Pack the car tonight, and let my wife prepare some dry food and leave tomorrow morning." Wang Dangyan said.
The next morning, Luo Yong saw that it was snowing heavily outside again, so he hurried down the slope to see the pigs he had just bought. Seeing that they were all living well, he felt relieved.
On the slope, Wang Dang's wife carried two buckets down from the slope, as if she was going to carry water. When she got off the slope in front of the Luo family courtyard, she arrived at the intersection and met Luo Yong, Luo Yong asked her: "It's snowing heavily. Will Wang Dalang still leave today?"
"It's not dawn." Wang Dang's wife pointed at the entrance of the village and said with a smile.
