On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the weather was still cold. At noon on this day, the wind stopped a little, and Luo used a ladder to climb to the roof to sweep the snow.

At this time, most of the houses were covered with straw sheds. The snow was thick. If you didn’t scan it in time, it would be exciting if the roof collapsed at night.

The work of sweeping the snow is quite dangerous. Luo Yong is the one who is scanning the Luo family. Don’t let them come up. Occasionally, Lin Wulang will come to help him clean up.

The old couple of Lin’s family have been much better recently, and they didn’t stop Lin Wulang from running to the Luo family.

Two days ago, Lin Wulang was about to go out, so Lin's mother asked him where he was going. Wulang said he wanted to come to the Luo family to help sweep the roof. Lin's mother asked him to be careful and asked him to bring a few vegetables and vegetables. Yan said that the Luo family did not have a cellar, so there was no food at this time.

As I was sweeping, I suddenly heard a child at the entrance of the village shouting: "Boss Wang and the others are back!"

Not long after, Luo Yong saw a group of dusty and unshaven men coming in from the entrance of the village. Seeing their car full of goods, Luo Yong knew that it must be his dates, so he quickly got off the ladder.

"Is this trip going smoothly?" After their group of people climbed the small slope in front of the Luo family, Luo Yong also greeted him. On the other side, Wang Dang's wife was running here at this time.

Their yard is higher than that of the Luo family's yard, and they have to pass through the dirt road in front of the Luo family's door.

"Hahaha! We really had good luck this time. As soon as the goods entered the city, they had not made much trouble, they were all divided by several merchants." Wang Dang's big face turned red and skinny by the cold wind. At this time, he smiled and spoke very loudly.

"Is the family okay?" Wang Dang's wife also came over at this time.

"Don't worry, it's all right. I've visited both sides and left some money and food for them." Wang Dang said.

"That's good, that's good." Wang Dang's wife also looked relieved.

Although they came out themselves, the old people were still there. They were so far away and had been going for several days. To put it bluntly, even if an elderly person at home passed away, they would not get any news for a while. It is the Chinese New Year again, how can they not worry about it?

"Is the car full of dates?" Luo Yong asked.

"That's right." Wang Dang was still filled with joy. This time they walked, they really made a lot of money, more than being a porter.

"I've all walked here, why don't you go in and measure now?" Luo Yong asked with a smile.

"Okay! That's the measure!" Now I weighed the dates, and when I got back, they could settle the score.

"I'll go back and make some food for you first." Wang Dang's wife was also very happy.

"Go and go." Wang Dang agreed.

The group entered the yard, Luo Yong took out a rice bowl and measured all the red dates one by one.

"It's three hu and seven and a half tumbles in total, right?" Luo used it and confirmed with everyone that these red dates were thirty-seven and a half tumble, and ten tumbles were one hu, so it was three hu and seven and a half tumbles.

"That's right, that's right, just half a bucket, just count it as three buckets and seven buckets." When Luo used the jujubes just now, these people were watching. Luo Sanlang was really kind-hearted. Every time he measured a bucket of jujubes, he had to apply the excess on it with his hands, and wiped out the excess, and refused to take advantage of them at all.

"I heard that the price of wheat in the city has been 72 cents a huo, and a bucket of dates and a bucket of wheat is the same price. In this way, you can get some cheaper with me, even if it costs 7 cents a huo, is it appropriate?" Luo Yong asked again.

"It's suitable for you, but I took advantage of Sanlang." If they took their dates to Lishi County by themselves, they might not be sold for seven cents a dou, and they would have to be picked and selected. Some people would not be willing to give you copper coins and give you some corn and grains. They took the grain and had to keep it for themselves, but it was difficult to exchange for money. If they were taken to the grain shop, they would have to be suppressed again.

"Three hundred and twenty-one, three jujubes are 210 qian, seventy-nine, and the other seven dou is 49 qian, which is 259 qian, and the other half dou is left. It is counted as a penny to make a bonus for me, and it is 260 qian in total." Luo Yong calculated the price of the dates to everyone in detail.

"How can this be made? It's good to count it as two hundred and fifty cents." Yang Dalang reacted quickly. When the other men were still confused by these numbers, he quickly said.

"Yes, it's enough to count as 250 yuan." Wang Dang also reacted at this time and quickly said.

His arithmetic is not very good, but when they collected these dates, they spent less than 200 yuan in total. He knew very well that his brothers ate some on the way, and now his cloth pocket is still in his house, leaving it for his wife and children.

The six men, who had gone back for less than four days, could make more than two cents a day with these dates alone, which would be enough.

After all, the dates are still small and light in the car. It is not difficult to transport them all the way. The goods transported from Lishi County to Dinghu County are the big ones. This time they really made a fortune.

Because Wang Dang and others insisted, the last batch of dates was counted as 250 cents, which was cheaper than what Luo used to buy in the county. Wang Dang and others felt that they were affordable. The transaction was both refreshing and profitable. Overall, both parties were very satisfied.

Last time, Luo Yong paid for Wang Dang for credit, but it was not only so much. At this time, Wang Dang took out a bag of copper coins from a cloth bag on the car and gave the remaining payment to Luo Yong on the spot.

After paying the payment, the brothers and others pushed the cart back to their yard. As soon as they thought of the many coins left in the cloth bag, they were all cheered up.

I didn't care about the dusty and unkempt faces all over my body. As soon as I returned to the yard, I would just share the money first. I didn't count. I just sent you a few of them one by one, and I sent it all over the place. I didn't have enough of them to send one by one. I gave it to Boss Wang and asked them to buy snacks. It seems that Wang was a boss who was a boss, but it was still a bit of a benefit.

"Hurry up, go and wash it. You have burned the kangs in each room, and water is burned in the cauldron."

Wang Dang's wife was scooping hot water into the wooden barrel at this time. Needless to say, the hot water was naturally prepared for Wang Dang, and the family is currently living in this house.

"Hey, thank you sister-in-law," everyone knew that the couple wanted to talk, so they laughed and left the house and went to take a shower.

"You are back just in time. Saburo should be slaughtering a pig tomorrow."

"It just so happens that we can earn some meat."

"After washing and eating some food, let's take a break early."

"Why."

"Let me see how much you've divided."

"You count it."

"What did our mother say?"

"Just say there is no need to worry about the family, just ask us to take care of ourselves."

"When I get better, I will run with you and I can go back and take a look."

"Forget it in winter, let's talk about it when the spring comes to come."

Wang Dang's wife said, split the five copper coins on the table in a pile, and then piled them together in two groups. After gathering them, she looked down and found that in less than ten days, she had earned more than 40 quotas!

"I sold the goods there earlier, and the brothers and I shared twenty cents first and took them home." Wang Dang said to her again.

"Take it seriously!" Then, if you make such a profit, wouldn't you be able to earn more than six cents a day?

No wonder Wang Dang and his men thought about transporting goods by themselves two years ago. It really earns more than being a porter for others to be a porter.

However, I didn't go to the right place last time and asked someone to harm me. This time I only had a relationship between Lishi County and Dinghu County, which should be safe.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Wang Dang and others did not take up the job. They only helped Luo Sanlang kill a pig. After getting some in the water, they paid for it and bought some more. They also bought some mutton with a family in the village. After so many hard days, they should make up for it.

On the Luo family, Dongpo pork was cooked on the kangs in several rooms. They wanted to cook the pig before the New Year, and they would not have to do this work in the early days of the New Year.

There is not much fancy New Year here, even every household needs to burn firecrackers and cook some delicious food. After New Year's Day, they will have to rest for a few days.

It was said that the children were going to stay up to the New Year, but they could not keep their stomachs. After eating, they were full. It was less than eight/9 o'clock, and their heads wanted to sleep little by little. Luo Yong asked them to go to bed.

But he lit the oil lamp, warmed a pot of turbid wine, took a book out of the space, and sat on the kang and read it slowly. The content he felt boring in the past was now enjoyable, because the spiritual life here was really poor.

When it was midnight, the sound of burning firecrackers came one after another in the village, and Luo Yong also ran to the yard to burn bamboo branches.

The iron bamboo was very hard, and the big bamboo joints were not dared to burn them. Be careful to blow up your house, and only dared to pick up the tender bamboo branches and put them on the fire to burn them one by one.

First, the fire was lit, and then the blue smoke rose again.

"Bang! Bang bang!" The sound of the stone bamboo burning was not at all like the sound of firecrackers in later generations. The bang bang bang was like Luo who used to light an explosive pack in his own yard.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang!" The sound of firecrackers in the village stopped, and the Luo family yard was still ringing.

"Brother, why is it still ringing?" Goro was woken up, wrapped in a rabbit fur coat, rubbed his eyes and came out of the room of him and Liulang.

"Brother, I have put too much bamboo. You go in and sleep first, and it will be fine soon." Luo Yong comforted.

When Goro heard him, he quickly went into the house to go to bed.

Luo Yong looked at his back as he entered the house and felt a little regretful. For this New Year, he could buy him some food. If it was in the 21st century, it would be better to play computer games, and it would be delicious and fun to buy, and he could take them to the aquarium amusement park...

When he thought of this amusement park, Luo Yong remembered another thing. After putting down the firecrackers, he returned to his room. He took out paper and pen to draw on the kang table.
