76. Tempering

For Luo Yong, the process of dealing with these two people was not at all happy, and he was even disgusted in his heart.

But as an adult, he has to do many things even if he doesn't like them. Just like when Luo Yong first came here, these children at home asked him to kill chickens, and he had no idea how to start.

Now? The chickens in the Luo family are basically killed by Luo Yong alone, and Luo Yong is now the pillar of the family.

For many villagers in Xipo Village, the same situation is similar. Luo Sanlang is their signature and their guarantee.

The Luo family yard stands at the entrance of Xipo Village. Luo Sanlang has always been known as a coffin board. He is a tough guy who is not afraid of power. He also has those disciples. There are also high people in and outside the village. He is guarding the entrance of the village. The villagers make tofu and sell tofu every day, and they always live a very peaceful life.

At the beginning of this year, Aunt Yin's incident made many people full of confidence in this young man. He not only has feelings and righteousness, but also has absolute appeal in Lishi County. He is also very tolerant of the villagers in the village. From beginning to end, no one saw him saying a harsh word to the Yin family.

As the saying goes, it is good to be on the back of a big tree to enjoy the cool air. For the current villagers of Xipo Village, Luo Sanlang is a big tree that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

At this time, someone actually jumped out and wanted to cut down trees? He doesn’t want to live in this village!

Luo Yong's reaction this time was also very different.

When Luo Yong returned to the Yin family last time, he didn't feel that Yin Dalang and his wife had any malice towards him. Moreover, Luo Yong had always had a good impression of the Yin family.

He had heard Er Niang and the others talk about the situation of the Yin family earlier. Yin Erlang and his wife were gone. The Yin Lan sisters are now supported by their uncle and uncle. Although Yin Lan can make money now, Luo Yongtong has never heard of his uncle and uncle being dissatisfied with the existence of the two girls. The Yin Lan sisters do not look shy and cringe than the other children of their family.

And what about this Tian family?

The condemnation of the villagers was not over yet. Luo Yong didn't say much except the two words he had just entered the door, but just stood aside without saying a word.

Tian Chonghu's father, Daming Tian Sheng, was at this time, while he was timid and timid, while carefully looking at the expression on Luo Sanlang's face.

Looking down from Tian Sheng's position, I saw the young man wearing an indigo blue robe standing quietly against the wall. He could not see any expression on his face. In the light and dark fire, the two eyes were full of indifference, and there was no gentle appearance on his usual day.

Seeing Luo Sanlang like this, somehow, a chill broke out on Tian Sheng's back.

How could this be the look that a sixteen-year-old boy should have?

Although this person is so lazy and useless now, he has been guarding the border in the past and thinks he has some knowledge. At this time, when he saw Luo Sanlang like this, he looked at the villagers who seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and immediately became a little scared.

He thought to himself that if Luo Sanlang spoke now and said that he would bury the couple alive, the villagers would definitely not say anything against him. When he thought about this, Tian Sheng became even more scared. Soon, a smell of pee came out in this dilapidated and messy room.

"You and your wife are so lazy, and the tofu they make on weekdays is not quite good, which has caused the reputation of the whole village. Not only does it not be grateful to Luo Sanlang, who taught you the method of making tofu, but now he still ruins his reputation like this."

"Now I will punish you for three months not to make tofu. Can you two accept it?" The smell in the room was really bad. Tamura Masao didn't want to stay here for a long time. Besides, everyone will have to get up early to make tofu tomorrow. Who has the time to procrastinate with them?

Speaking of which, in the original village like them, there is no right to punish anyone, but as long as everyone agrees to this matter, the parties involved will only accept it.

Luo Yong had no objection to the punishment for stopping making tofu for three months. When Luo Yong taught the Tian family to make tofu, Tian Chonghu worked for a month at the Luo family. For Tian Sheng and his wife, the craft was about the same as those who came in vain. They didn't cherish it very much, and they felt tired. At this moment, they broke it off and let them feel it well. Without the craft of making tofu, what other easy ways can they make money?

It was already a little late when the young people at home were already asleep, and Erniang and Peng Er were still spinning cashmere in the grocery store.

These cashmeres were recently collected. With the end of winter, the price of cashmere in their area has also dropped. Occasionally, nearby villagers will send cashmere to Luo Yong. As long as the two parties can negotiate the price, the Luo family will also purchase it. When the price of cashmere was high in the past, Luo Yong had not collected it at all. It was too expensive and not cost-effective.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Luo Yong come back, Er Niang asked.

"It's not like that, just let them not make tofu for three months." Luo Yong said lightly.

"That's cheaper for them." Erniang didn't stop when she spoke: "I will spin these threads tonight. Xu Erlang will go to the city tomorrow, so he will take them to dye the colors."

"Don't be so anxious, there's nothing to do if you're one or two days later." Luo Yong took a sip of hot water and asked her again: "What color is going to dye this time?" Erniang Biluo was very clear about sweaters and sweaters.

"Just these dots and lines are dyed dark gray." Erniang said: "This color is very popular."

"I dress well, they all follow suit." Luo Yong said with a smile.

Erniang and Peng Erju looked up at him, then started to laugh. Erniang asked him, "But you are hungry? Do you want to eat something before sleeping?"

"I'm not hungry, I'll go to bed now, don't be too late." Luo Yong was in a good mood at this time. He just came back from the Tian family and looked at his sister again. Thinking about the luck of the Luo family, there was no such person as Tian Chonghu Yeniang, otherwise he really wouldn't know what kind of life would be like.

"By the way, I promised earlier that if you help me knit out the wool socks, I will give you a silver hairpin. I was too busy a while ago and I forgot."

Before going to bed, Luo took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Erniang. This was also what he had asked someone to find in the city. At this time, he didn't have to avoid Peng Er and gave it directly. When she wore it out another day, others could see it.

"It's just a verbal talk. Why did you take it seriously?" Er Niang finally stopped the work in her hand and reached out to take the silver hairpin handed over by Luo Yong. This thing was too expensive for her and she didn't know what to do with it for a moment.

"You must do it after you say it. There is no way to talk about it casually. You can put it on tomorrow. Don't put it in the room and make it moldy." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"What a precious thing..." The originally silver-white hairpin flashed with golden warm lights under the orange-red lights, which made Er Niang love it: "It's too bright, why should I wear it on my head?"

"This is just the one who has just been fighting, and it won't be that bright after a few days." Luo Yong explained.

"As the batch of saplings are about to arrive, what are you going to spend this money?" Even though he was happy, Er Niang was still worried about the payment for goods after the spring was a huge sum.

"That money has already been settled, sister, don't worry." This time in Lishi County, Luo Yong had already been angry with the two families of Ma Wang. Of course, the two sides also wanted to lend him money, but the specific amount had not been agreed. In addition, this money was not borrowed for nothing, and Luo Yong also promised to calculate the interest for them.

After staying outside for several days, he finally returned to his home. That night, Luo Yong slept quite soundly.

When he got up the next day, Erniang and the others had already gotten up. Erniang pierced Luo with the silver hairpin he gave her yesterday. The hairpin flashed in the morning light and looked quite eye-catching. Erniang was very energetic today, and her smile looked particularly brighter than usual.

The villagers were still talking about the Tian family early in the morning, and after noon they heard that Luo Sanlang had given his sister a silver hairpin.

This is really a great event in Xipo Village. The silver was still very expensive at this time. It took about 1,600 copper coins to exchange for one tael of silver. For ordinary people, copper coins are already very expensive things, let alone silver jewelry.

The big girls and wives in the village all went to Luo's house to see the silver hairpins. Fortunately, Xipo Village has not a large population in total, so it would be fine if they had seen it once.

The matter of the Tian family was soon thrown out by the villagers. Sometimes when Luo Yong saw Tian Xiang'er, he would give her some food, just to treat it as helping Tian Chonghu take care of his sister.

Tian Xianger said that Tian Sheng seemed to have been scared recently and stayed at home all day and never went out.

"Sanlang, when I get older, you can hire me to work for you, right?" On that day, Tian Xiang'er ate a mixed bread given to her by Er Niang and said to Luo Yong beside her.

They are also mixed noodles, and the mixed noodles in the Luo family are sweeter than other people's homes. I heard that her brother sells stinky tofu in the city, and there is a meal of white noodles every day at noon, and breakfast and supper are eaten at the Xu family. Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang's sister cooks very well. The villagers all said that her brother has been a little fat lately.

She also wanted to gain weight, but her cousin Aunt Tang told her that when she got married, she didn't like someone who was yellow and thin like her, for fear that she would not be able to raise her. Tian Xiang'er wanted to grow up soon, and then work for Luo Sanlang's family, so she would get fatter and then marry her.

"Okay, I will hire you to work for me in the future." Luo Sanlang was very pleased. This girl still looked like her brother, not like her parents, and she knew she wanted to work.

Life is passing day by day. As the temperature rises, more and more merchants come to Lishi County. At this time, the popularity of cashmere sweaters and peony cushions has dissipated a lot. What remains are still attracting merchants to gather in their place. The swallows are still flying.

It is said that many merchants come to their place now and no longer go to the finished car of Heng's car manufacturing store. Some time ago, merchants from Taiyuan City bought more than ten special wheels of Yan'erfei from Yin-style Wheels Store.

There are also many people who come to them to collect bamboo chains. There are merchants from all over the world, and at most they are in Chang'an City. Chang'an people have strong consumption capacity and there are many people who can afford Yan'erfei, but there are no carbama produced in Chang'an, so many merchants come directly to Lishi County to buy bamboo chains.

Luo Yong was not worried that their local dianthus resources would be exhausted. Even if their resources were exhausted, there were other places. They were not the only ones that produced dianthus.

Using wood and bamboo instead of metal materials to make Yanerfei was originally a helpless move. After all, the metal smelting industry was not so developed at this time, with few metal reserves and high prices. However, with the progress of the times, it would be sooner or later for Yanerfei to gradually replace the wood and bamboo structure with metal.

What Luo Yong didn't know was that at this time, several Yan Erfei made of metal were quietly placed in a secret warehouse in the Tai Chi Palace, including two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and five-wheeled vehicles.

In addition, the imperial court has issued a decree to several major iron mine areas in the country, and has ordered the production to be stepped up. If there is no accident, more corvee workers will be sent to them this fall.

Luo Yong didn't know that the young man who had pushed a millstone at his house in the past has now become a bit handsome and handsome. Although he is still a little more immature and tender, his every move has begun to gradually exude his unique beauty.

Today he made a comeback in the riding and shooting class. There are rumors that among the many men in Chang'an City, it is difficult to find anyone who is better at riding and shooting than him.

The name Qiao Junlin is slowly spreading in Chang'an City. When he rode the swallows flying through the city, some young ladies would also look around quietly with pretty faces.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. But Qiao Junlin knew better than anyone else that even though he had worked so hard, he had already gained a little fame. Compared with the young men in the Imperial College, he was still just a rural boy from a wild path. The difference in identity made him naturally appear vulgar and smaller than those men of the gentry.

In the sky, the young man stood silently in the yard practicing drawing bows, neither hurry nor slow, and practiced over and over again according to the steps taught by the instructors of the college, each time, it was a tempering, tempering his body and his soul.

In this capital city where family origins are important, how can he stand out and how can he use his feet to cross the gap between the nobles and the civilians?
