Chapter 12: Xipo Village


Luo Yong sat behind a long table.

There were bowls of chicken cakes on the table, asking the villagers to pick which piece they liked.

"I want this piece, grandma, I want this piece."

A child stood on tiptoes and looked back and forth on the table several times, then pointed at a piece of cake, turned around and shouted to his grandma.

"Don't yell."

His mother slapped his finger back, glanced at the stoneware bowls on the table, raised her finger to point to another piece of cake, and said, "We want this piece."

"Aniang" the child wanted to say something else.

"That's it, no more arguing."

His mother agreed.

She said this piece is bigger, so it must be this piece is bigger.

Luo Yong opened the rice bag they put on the table, reached out and grabbed a few grains of rice and looked at it.

Yes, it was this year's new rice, and the quality was not bad, so he took the rice liters and measured two liters of rice from the bag.

Come out and pour it into a pottery jar half a person's height beside the table.

This rice liter is similar in shape to the rice bucket Luo Yong saw in his previous life.

It is made of five wooden boards put together to make a square bucket with a wide top and narrow bottom.

One liter of rice can weigh about one pound and two taels.

The beans are probably heavier, but I don’t know the details because they don’t have a scale at home, and most people don’t have such delicate items.

"Sanlang, I'll pick two more, and I'll supply you with the missing corn later, okay."

When Luo Yong reached out and handed over the piece of cake she picked, the woman said again.

She thought about it and decided to buy an extra piece to honor her parents-in-law.

The other piece was planned to be given to her parents when she went to her parents' house to sell tofu tomorrow.

Speaking of which, both sides of her husband's family are relatively well off.

It's not that she can't afford to eat two liters of rice for a piece of pastry, but she just can't bear to part with it.

Now she starts making tofu, and she has an income every day.

Naturally, it needs to be looser.

"Why did you buy so much?

Sanlang will make it tomorrow."

Before Luo Yong said anything, the villagers on the side shouted first, and while shouting, they pulled the cakes they had chosen in front of themselves.

"I won't do it tomorrow.

I'll do it once every five from now on because it's sold out."

Luo Sanlang said with a smile.

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling relieved in their hearts.

Even if they don't do it every day, the children at home can't make trouble even if they want to.

It's because the Saburo family didn't do it, and it's not that they didn't buy it.

They don’t know that there is such a thing as “hunger marketing” in this world.

Not only in Xipo Village, but also in Lishi County, there are only a limited number of people who are willing to eat cakes like this.

Two liters of rice are exchanged for this small square piece.

Many people feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

If Luo Yong sells it every day, some families may not be able to buy it for their children even in ten and a half months.

If he only sells on those three days on Fridays, it will only be those three days in a month.

After today, he will have to wait for another ten days.

Think about it again, on these three days a month, he won’t be able to eat much, so he just buys it.

Bar.

It is already foreseeable that every fifth day in the future, the villagers of Xipo Village will definitely go to the Luo family yard in groups.

The business volume in those three days may not be less than that of selling cakes every day, and Luo Yong It also saves them trouble.

The freshly baked cakes are also fresh, and if they sell well, there will be no inventory.

With such a virtuous cycle, Saburo's cake selling business will naturally prosper for a long time.

"The rice in your bag is not enough for one liter.

Take two more cakes and remember to make up four liters of rice.

I don't ask people to pay on credit."

Luo Sanlang said to the woman just now.

"I'll bring it to you in a moment."

The woman happily picked two more cakes.

If she went home to get the rice at this time, when she came back, the large pieces of cake would probably be picked by someone.

After that, of course she had to pick out the cake first and add the rice later.

If she had known that the brown sugar chicken cake steamed by Luo Sanlang was so fragrant, she should have brought a few more liters of rice just now.

She started here, and some of the villagers followed her example.

Saburo said that this cake only needs to be made once every ten days.

Today is fifteen, and next time it will be twenty-five, so it is better to buy one or two more pieces.

Well, the whole family ate it together, they were all sweet, but didn’t you see the delicious expression on the face of the boy who just had the cake?

However, I also thought that I would be patient this time and wait until the 25th to buy a few more New Year items.

After the 25th, it would soon be New Year's Eve.

Here, Luo Yong is selling cakes in the thatched shed.

Over there, Siniang and Wulang lead two puppies to the village.

Siniang is also carrying a food box made of wheat straw in her hand, and Er Niang is inside.

He put a few pieces of freshly baked brown sugar cake and told them to take them to Aunt Luo.

This was what Luo Yong had agreed with her before.

As for Er Niang, she is always inseparable from the family.

There are also two little babies, Liu Lang and Qi Niang.

Besides, there was Lin Liulang in the Lin family.

Luo Yong thought to himself that he had to be careful about him.

A charming young master like that was not a good match. .

"Hey, Luo Si."

Not far after Siniang and Wulang walked out, several children came up to them.

Not every household in the village was willing to buy this kind of cake for their children.

That small piece of cake cost two liters of corn.

It is true that some families cannot afford it.

These children were wandering not far from the Luo family yard just now.

They couldn't eat the cake and smelled it.

It tasted good.

When they saw Luo Siniang and Luo Wulang coming out of the yard carrying a food box, they immediately got together.

The leading child even called Luo Siniang Luo Si, which was very funny.

"What are you doing?"

Si Niang was not tall, but she was very imposing.

Being able to be called Luo Si by the child leader in the village is naturally because Luo Siniang has some prestige among the children in the village.

If it were someone like Goro, he would have no choice but to be called Dun'er.

Even in a child's world, he wouldn't be able to get away without being domineering enough.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

the child asked.

"What you give to my eldest sister is none of your business."

Luo Siniang said angrily.

As the siblings walked, the children followed them, always asking them about the food box in their hands.

Luo Siniang ignored them at all and led Wu Lang to the Lin family compound.

Wu Lang followed Siniang with his head held high.

At times like this, he felt that his sister was particularly reliable and he felt particularly at ease following her.

Luo Siniang is a powerful person.

The boys of similar age in the village don't dare to mess with her, let alone the little girls.

The group of children followed them all the way until they reached the door of Lin's house, and then dispersed.

Luo Siniang turned around and looked at the backs of their departure.

She took Wu Lang's hand and hurried into the Lin family yard.

She was not as calm as she appeared on her face.

If those children really rushed to grab them, how could she stop them on her own?

Live.

As for Goro, he could never be counted on for fights.

The leader of the children just now, named Tian Chonghu, is one year older than Luo Siniang, and is ten years younger.

The Tian surname is the largest surname in Xipo Village.

There are only more than 20 households in their small village, and Tian surname accounts for more than ten households.

They also like to hang out in groups on weekdays.

As for Tian Chonghu, a child can live whatever kind of life he follows his parents.

He is a lazy person, and his mother is always complaining about everything and is not very diligent.

Fortunately, the weather is going well, as long as he does everything in one go.

As long as we cultivate our own fields, we can live a good life, but our lives are just worse than others.

Tian Chonghu is the eldest in the family, and he has a younger sister who is six years old this year.

I heard that there was a younger sister who died not long after she was born.

There are also rumors in the village that Tian Chonghu's parents are going to sell her six-year-old sister to the city to be a little girl.

Earlier, this kid didn't know where he heard the news, and made a big fuss when he came home.

He wanted to kill his father with a hoe, but now he takes his sister with him wherever he goes.

Tian Xiang'er is six years old this year.

She is yellow and thin.

She follows her brother around like a little tail all day long.

When the weather is warm, Tian Chonghu can go to the nearby mountains to get some wild fruits and the like, and if he is lucky, he can catch rabbits.

She eats whatever she has, and with his brother here, her share is indispensable.

The weather has been too cold recently and it snows all the time.

I dare not go to the mountains for fear of encountering wolves.

If there is no food in winter, wolves will come out of the mountains.

In the past, children in the village were also snatched away by wolves.

Tian Chonghu discussed with several older children in the village and wanted to go out to sell tofu, but unfortunately they were too young and did not have much strength.

The tofu was too heavy and could not be sold far away.

There were too many people going nearby, making it difficult to sell. .

Luo Siniang just thought that people like Tian Chonghu wanted to steal her cake, but that was not the case.

It is true that they are greedy for those cakes, but they have recently been thinking about the fermented bean curd in the Luo family's yard, and they will definitely not grab things at this time.

Fermented bean curd is more expensive than bean curd essence.

If you take one or two cans and sell them outside, it doesn't weigh much, and you can still make money.

However, a family like Tian Chonghu will definitely not be willing to give him the five cents as principal.

Yes, I am afraid that I will lose it because of the trouble.

No one can trust such an older child.

So Tian Chonghu thought it would be great if he could get some fermented bean curd on credit from Luo Sanlang.

He had just been with Luo Siniang and the others, and the words came to his lips several times, but he swallowed them back.

He really didn't know how to speak.

On the Luo family's side.

When Siniang and the others came back, they brought a lamb rib with them, and Aunt Luo came with them.

Although the Lin family is the richest in Xipo Village, they are also a frugal family.

They spend their money carefully, but they also seem a bit stingy.

When the Luo family's batch of fermented bean curd was ripe last time, Aunt Luo asked Mrs.

Luo to bring back a very large jar of fermented bean curd.

The jar was much larger than those of the helpers in the village.

At that time, the Lin family just ate the jar of fermented bean curd without giving any decent gift in return.

Some of them still remembered the millstone, which was a large bluestone grinding disc made of good stone.

Sanlang just gave him the basket of tofu, and the return gift was obviously too light.

This time Luo Yong asked Si Niang and Wu Lang to deliver cakes.

Some people in the Lin family wanted to get over it, but Mr.

Lin wanted to save face and asked Aunt Luo to go to the kitchen and cut a lamb rib and bring it over.

In fact, Luo Yong didn't care too much about whether he returned the gift or not, but his eldest sister was really good.

He made some food at home, so he asked the younger ones below to give her a few pieces to try.

With her, the Lin family naturally couldn't.

No expression was given.

In terms of life, the Lin family is actually a good family.

Aunt Luo has been married for so long, but she has not been asked to work in the fields, or to spin threads and spin at home day and night.

She has food and drink.

It requires work, but relatively speaking, it's pretty good in this day and age.

No matter what, it's always nice to have meat to eat, especially the little ones in the family.

"I went to the cellar and brought some cabbage over, so we can make soup together."

Aunt Luo handed the lamb ribs and cabbage to Er Niang.

A cabbage is not a good thing, but in this season, it is not easy to eat fresh vegetables.

The Lin family has a cellar so that they can preserve the vegetables in Qiuli to this day, but the Luo family does not.

I turned around and looked at the thatched hut at the entrance of the courtyard.

The crowd hadn't dispersed yet.

The villagers had left.

Here came a few hawkers, all from the city.

They came to Xipo Village to buy goods.

They were staying in the village tonight.

Listen.

The villagers said that Luo Sanlang made a delicious brown sugar chicken cake, so they all came over.

These people didn't bring any corn, so Luo Yong told them that it cost one penny for a piece of cake.

The vendors thought it was a bit expensive, but the cake smelled really sweet and different from the cakes sold in the county, so they Together, we spent a penny to buy a piece and taste it first.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be very soft, sweet and rich in taste.

This cake made with egg whites is naturally different in texture from the cakes made with fermented flour in the city.

In order to steam these two pots of cakes, Qiao Dalang's arms would probably be sore for several days.

These days, he doesn't even have an egg beater, so it's all done by hand.

Luo Yong and Luo Erniang also fought, but they mainly relied on Qiao Dalang.

This Qiao Dalang was really good at his job.

The two chopsticks in his hands could swing like hot wheels.

Luo Yong and the others couldn't compare.

After the first pot of cake was steamed, Luo Yong also cut a piece for Qiao Dalang.

He ate half of it himself and left half for A-Zhi.

Ah Zhi now looks like a salesman.

He imitates the hawkers walking around the streets and talks carelessly.

If Qiao Junlin and his parents see him, they will probably be shocked.

After Luo Sanlang finished selling the cakes, closed the courtyard door and entered the kitchen, the aunt and the second mother had already cooked the soup.

After freezing for a long time in the thatched hut outside, drinking a bowl of hot mutton soup really refreshed my whole body.

I also steamed some bean buns and ate them with mutton soup, which was also good.

The aunt was not in a hurry to go back, so she had dinner here.

Over at the Lin family, it was not her turn to do housework today, so it didn't hurt to go back later.

After all, there are many people in the Lin family compound.

Lin Dalang and Lin Erlang are both married and have children.

Although Lin Sanniang has gone out, she often comes back.

In addition to Lin Wulang and Luo Auntie, there is also Lin Liulang who is not worried.

That Mother Lin who couldn't wait to turn her attention to her armpits.

Everyone in this big family had their own thoughts.

Living in such an environment sometimes made Aunt Luo annoyed.

It is said that the Lin family originally had a fourth son, but when he was ten years old, he fell ill and died.

These days, many people have this kind of thing, and it is not surprising.

In this era of underdeveloped medical technology and very inconvenient transportation, life always seems particularly fragile.

After dinner, the siblings sat in the room and talked.

Aunt Luo said that those in the village who have not learned how to make tofu seem to be a little unable to hold back recently.

There are two women in the village who often come to talk to her two sisters-in-law and work together.

They always go to her these days.

He leaned closer to her, wanting to know what she was talking about.

Luo Erniang also said that she had been asked about it, and then Si Niang and Wu Lang also echoed.

I don’t know if anyone has found those who have learned how to make tofu, but currently, apart from the people who originally came to Luo’s family to learn, no one else is making tofu for sale.

Nowadays, those people are just making insinuations from the eldest and second mothers, and there are fewer people who directly ask Luo Yong.

This is not difficult to understand.

Luo Sanlang has been studying since he was a child and does not often move around the village.

The villagers do not know his temper very well.

If asked in person, what if Luo Sanlang asked them back: "Why didn't you come here in the first place?"

How to answer.

In the end, I am more familiar with the eldest and second ladies, so I’d better ask them first.

"Let's wait until after the new year."

Luo Sanlang said.

Living in the same village, you can't do things too well, and it's not a bad thing to get a few helpers for free.

But there should always be some time left for those who chose to believe in him early on to earn a little more money, otherwise how can the gap be shown?

Only when the gap is revealed and the people in front get a taste of the sweetness, will these people take Luo Yong seriously if he says something else in the future.

"Next time someone tells you this, ask them who they plan to call over after the new year."

Luo Yong thought for a while and then said.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Don't be too careless about the selection this time.

Last time Luo Yong offered such conditions, they were unwilling to come and learn from it.

Except for a few who refused to believe it, the rest of them had more or less problems of one kind or another.

Luo Yong didn't want to bring a few unsightly people to Luo's courtyard to cause trouble for him, especially those with bad character.

There were still two mothers and four mothers at home.

So we have to choose the most suitable person from those families.

If the adults can't do it, use a child.

After all, children are easier to train.

After sending Aunt Luo away, Luo Yong went to the kitchen to take a look.

The tofu and bean dregs mixed a few days ago were still steaming.

Making sauce at this time, the season was not right, and the mold grew slowly.

Since we are selling groceries, how can we do without miso and soy sauce?

Those beans are used to make miso, and the bean dregs are used to make soy sauce.

Luo Yong has never made these two things.

He just read a novel stored in a smartphone in the space and followed what was written there.

It’s the first time I’ve made a doenjang and soy sauce plot, and the season is wrong, so I don’t know if I can make it. gd1806102:
