A few days later, Guo An returned to Taiyuan City and told the elders of his clan what he had seen and heard in Lishi County and his entire trip to Naluo Sanlang.
From the moment the two parties met until they heard that the business was concluded, Luo Sanlang unceremoniously asked Guo An for a deposit.
The reactions of the people present varied, some were amazed, and some were disapproving.
When everything was said and done, some people Then he smiled and said, "He lives up to his reputation as a coffin board."
"That Luo Sanlang is probably not a thing in the pond.
Don't think too much about anything else.
Just be on good terms with him."
Guo An's father said.
"I think he's just a tough guy, and it's not that easy to make friends with him."
Someone on the side expressed a different opinion.
"According to your opinion, you want to be against him."
Guo An's father was dissatisfied with the other party's refutation of his opinion.
"Why are you kicking that stone?"
The other party muttered and said nothing more.
Obviously, he did not have the right to speak in the Guo family as Guo An's father.
"In this case, let Shishilang do this business.
When the delivery time comes, you will send the 150 dendrobium beans to Xipo Village in exchange for fermented bean curd, and then send them to Chang'an for you.
Uncle."
An old man present agreed.
Guo An respectfully agreed, and the matter was settled.
Their Taiyuan Guo family also operates in Chang'an.
This first batch of 550 cans of fermented bean curd, needless to say, must be used to give away.
In Xipo Village, Luo Yong had already ordered a batch of tofu from the villagers.
He cut them into small pieces and started cultivating mold in two empty houses in the backyard.
Now the houses in their yard have been built.
Opposite the row of five houses in the front, there are five houses built against the wall in the back, and there are three more houses on each side.
The five rooms in the front are mainly used for living, and those in the back are basically used for working and storing things.
The large courtyard in the middle was divided into a field shape by Luo Yong, with two horizontal and vertical roads for people to pass through.
The other areas were prepared to place sauce jars.
If you want the sauce to be fragrant, it must be dried.
In the room in the middle of the front row, Luo used his original room to open a door leading to the backyard.
The rest of the room has been tightly blocked.
From now on, if you want to go from the front yard to the backyard, you can only Although it is inconvenient to go through this door in this house, it is conducive to confidentiality.
The room in the middle is now converted into a living room and is used by them as a place for dining and entertaining guests.
Luo Yong's bedroom was moved to the new room next to the kitchen and next to the wall.
In addition, Shiro and Wuro also moved from Er Niang's room.
It was moved out and moved to the newly built one next door, which is where the tofu shed used to be.
In the past few days, Luo Yong, in addition to making bean curd, squatted in the backyard and hammered.
He had already taken back the wool and wool that he had used for dyeing.
Luo Yong had never made anything like wool felt before, but he knew a little bit about the principle.
It was nothing more than beating, puncturing, and rolling to make the wool felt into sheets or other various shapes.
Luo Yong had done some.
After trying it, I found that the combination of beating and puncture can often achieve better results.
"Brother, you have made another mat."
Over at the canteen, Si Niang and the others saw Luo Yong coming here with a wool felt mat, and they were very happy to welcome him out.

The mat made by her brother was very nice.
"Well, just like last time, you have to pierce it more carefully.
Do you understand?"
Luo Yong handed the pad in his hand to Siniang, then took down a jar from the shelf nearby and grabbed a handful of wooden skewers from it. , handing them out to several children present.
Although the construction of the Luo family's yard has been completed and the adults have left, the children are still there.
Luo Yong does not chase them away.
Although he does not have any special skills that can generate stable income except fermented bean curd, But providing a lunch to these children is nothing, and besides, they can also help.
Luo Siniang took the newly made mat by her brother, opened it, and saw a cluster of pink and white flowers, with green wool as the base.
There were some pink petals in the light white, and the thin You can almost see the green of the background, and those pink flower buds look a bit solid and thick.
"What kind of flower is this?"
Luo Siniang didn't know this flower, she just thought it was very beautiful.
"This is Begonia."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"Wow, it turns out to be a crabapple flower.
It's so beautiful."
A group of children exclaimed repeatedly.
At this age, they had only seen a few vegetable flowers and wild flowers around the village.
Begonia flowers had never been seen before.
Now they saw it. , this Begonia looks really beautiful.
Seeing the admiration and admiration on the faces of these children, Luo Yong also felt a sense of accomplishment, as the hard work he had put in these days was not in vain.
There are several books about flowers in his space, which are second-hand books sold by students majoring in garden art.
These books are now helping Luo Yong a lot.
In the past two days, he has been drawing patterns based on the patterns in those books.
After the pattern is drawn, it must be divided into blocks and colors.
There are several colors in a flower, and there are several colors in the wool he has on hand.
If certain colors are not available at the moment, he has to use other colors instead.
And like today's Begonia, we need to put more effort into the thickness of the color.
In some places, the white wool is thin, in some places, the white wool is thick, and in some places, the white wool needs to be mixed with some pink.
It is really very labor-intensive. .
Fortunately, the dyeing technology at Mr. .
For these wools, Mr.
Xue and others also have to go through a series of bleaching treatments before dyeing them.
In addition, the purification degree of the dyes is relatively high, so that the dyed colors appear very clean and full.
After seeing the finished product, Luo Yong only felt that the six hundred coins were well spent.
It is not easy for people these days.
Such a process requires a lot of work.
After deducting the cost of dye and other costs, the remaining profit is , I think it is relatively limited.
After bringing back the wool, Luo Yong also conceived many patterns, including streamlined and geometric ones.
Finally, after much deliberation, he decided to make flowers.
Unlike people in previous lives who were tired of seeing all kinds of flowers, people at this time can basically only see bright flowers in season.
As for embroidery on clothes, it takes a lot of labor, and It is not easy, so flower patterns should still be very popular in this era.
Poor Luo Sanlang, a person who has never learned to draw in his two lifetimes.
In order to figure out those petals, flowers and leaves, these days, he has really worked hard to figure out the lines of the petals, flowers and leaves.
He has been dreaming in the middle of the night.
There are also all kinds of flowers.

The hard work pays off, and the crabapple-patterned cushion made today looks very similar.
Luo Yong is quite satisfied with his work.
Yesterday's peony was far behind.
There were too many layers of peony petals, and he didn't grasp it well.
The resulting flowers looked dull, but Siniang and the others didn't understand.
When they saw the bright colors, they only praised their beauty.
"Tie it tighter, it doesn't matter if you take your time."
Luo Yong instructed, looking at the children gathered around the low table and poking the wool felt mat with bamboo sticks.
"Hmm."
Wulang and the others poked without raising their heads, as if they all found this job very interesting.
Luo Yong smiled, sat down on the edge of the kang, moved his arms, and said a few words to the group of children on the kang from time to time.
Judging from his current appearance, he has black hair tied into a bun, and some broken hair is naturally scattered on the forehead and temples, making the young man look more youthful.
He is clearly a clear young man, with no trace of a coffin board.
Luo Sanlang's story of making beautiful flower patterns out of wool soon spread in the village, and some villagers took a break from their busy schedules to come over and watch the fun.
When they saw it, they were really amazed.
They were not optimistic about Luo Sanlang's wool business before, but they didn't expect that the other party could make the wool look like this.
They were really dissatisfied.
There are also people who are itchy and want to follow suit, but after hearing about the money Luo Sanlang spent to dye these wools, they have nothing to worry about.
With so much money, it is better to buy a few more acres of land and then buy A cow.
As soon as the number of people increased, the Luo family yard became lively again.
During the chat, many villagers said that the tofu business has been good recently, and they have made money and food.
Even though there is so much bean dregs left, they can't finish it, and they can't even feed the chickens.
It's not finished, so it would be a pity to throw it away, and it would be useless to leave it alone.
Then someone asked Luo Yong if he sold the bean dregs here.
If someone wanted it, they would also like to sell the bean dregs they had saved.
Luo Yong didn't have a good solution for this bean dregs at the moment.
He still had a lot of dried bean dregs at home, and he couldn't use that much to make soy sauce.
Besides, if the dried bean dregs had been stored for a long time, the taste would not be as good as fresh bean dregs. .
Almost every household in the village is now making tofu, and a lot of bean dregs are produced every day.
How to consume so much bean dregs and make them generate economic benefits is indeed a problem.
Luo Sanlang thought carefully for a moment, and then said to the villagers: "Why don't we raise some pigs."
The villagers who "raise pigs" are a little hesitant.
Nowadays, they are making tofu at home, and visitors come and go every day.
If they build a pig pen in the yard, there will be a lot of filth and unpleasant smells, and the tofu business must be banned. have a bad impact.
In the eyes of these villagers, raising pigs is not as good as raising sheep.
It is better to raise sheep as long as the children at home drive the sheep to the slopes.
It is easier and less smelly.
"Do you want to raise Sanlang?"
the villager asked Luo Yong.
"Yes, I want to support him."
Luo Sanlang nodded.
"How many do you plan to raise?"
the villager asked again.
"You want to sell that bean dregs to me?"
Luo Sanlang asked with a smile.

"If Sanlang wants it, just fold some fermented bean curd and miso."
Seeing what he said, the villagers were also very happy.
If this happened, they would not have to spend money and food to buy the fermented bean curd and miso that they would eat at home in the future.
"Okay, I will trade fermented bean curd and soybean paste with you in exchange for bean dregs."
Luo Sanlang was also very happy.
Things like fermented bean curd and soybean paste don't cost much at all.
For Luo Yong, although mutton is also very good, it is not as fat as pork.
At that time in the 21st century, he ate pork every day and didn't think anything was wrong.
Now when he comes here, he finds that the people here It turns out that eating pork is not popular.
As time goes by, he misses the dishes made with pork in his previous life.
However, no one in their village raised pigs at all, but there were a few sheep farmers.
During the Chinese New Year days, sheep were slaughtered.
The first time Luo Yong was late, he caught a sheep intestine, and the second time someone killed the sheep again.
He went there early to wait, and then carried a front leg and a small half of a lamb rib to the house.
These days are no better than in the previous life.
You can buy a piece of meat today and buy a bone tomorrow.
It is rare for someone to slaughter a sheep.
There is no such shop after this village.
You can buy more in winter.
Don’t worry if you can’t finish it all at once.
Just hang it under the eaves. , it was all frozen the next day.
Compared with mutton, pork is not easy to buy.
No one in the village raises pigs, so you have to go to the city to buy meat.
Luo Yong happened to be helping people make kangs in the city a few years ago, so he brought a big piece with him when he came back.
They had already eaten all the food, not even a single oil star was left.
They used to make fried noodles at home every now and then, and the oil was consumed very quickly.
When they heard that Luo Yong wanted to collect bean dregs to raise pigs, the villagers were very happy.
They all happily ran to help him build a pigsty.
The location of the pigsty was chosen on the flat land at the bottom of the slope of Luo's yard.
It's not far across the village road, a little further from the house to avoid inhaling people.
As for the safety of the pigs, there is nothing to worry about.
The villagers often let their children go out to herd the sheep.
Sometimes, the children don't know where the sheep have gone, and the adults always run out to look for them, but they always fail.
It is rare to hear of a lost sheep if it can be found.
The folk customs are still good these days.
I heard that there are bandits and water bandits elsewhere, but in their area, even thieves are rare.
This pigsty was also built crudely.
It was built with wood and the like, and a few pieces of grass were placed on top to protect it from the rain.
There were four pigpens in total.
Luo Yong planned to raise eight pigs first, two by two in each pen.
The current pigsty is relatively simple, because now everyone is making tofu every day, and they are already quite busy.
Spring plowing is about to begin again, so I am very considerate of being able to come over and help him repair the pigsty.
It is really inappropriate to mention it again.
There are more requirements.
After this autumn, when the weather gets cold, Luo Yong will look at upgrading the pigsty.

After the pigsty was repaired, everyone discussed buying piglets.
Now the people in Xipo Village have contacts with people in many villages because of the tofu business, and they are also well-informed about where there are people raising pigs.
Which pig farmer has piglets at home, which one is kinder, which one is more cunning, basically everyone knows who they are.
The eight piglets I bought in the end were very good.
They looked strong and the price was reasonable.
The eight piglets put together are not cheap.
Luo Yong doesn't have much money on hand now, but fortunately the other party is willing to collect grain.
Luo Yong has really saved a lot of grain recently.
He sells fermented bean curd at home.
Many people bring food in exchange for these things.
They sell cakes on the fifth and third days of every month, and they can get a lot of food.
There are eight piglets, seven boars and one sow.
The prices are also different.
Sows are more expensive than boars, but Luo Yong wants most of the boars this time.
He only picked one female, intending to use it to save seeds.
Pigs can give birth to piglets for many years, and there can be several pigs in one litter.
Luo Yong does not plan to breed too large for the moment, as one sow is enough.
Luo Sanlang's move made the pig seller confused.
In the past, those who bought pigs from him mostly picked sows and paired them with one or two boars for breeding.
When these pigs grew up, those pigs would All sows can give birth to piglets, and the piglets can be sold for money.
If you sell the big pigs and the piglets together, you can make more money.
Why is this Luo Sanlang so different from the others?
Naturally, Luo Yong would not tell him that he chose the boar for the convenience of castration.
It would be scary to say such a thing.
The pigsty was repaired and the piglets were in place.
On this day, Luo Sanlang took his kitchen knife and went to the pigsty.
After that, the villagers heard the screams of the piglets one after another.
Many villagers rushed to see what was going on, and saw the human tragedy of Luo Yong holding a kitchen knife and castrating all the boars in the pig pen.
As for the breeding boars, they are not needed.
When the time comes, they will rush to mate with other people's boars.
If they are matched, they will be given a small red envelope.
There is no need to raise another breeding pig.
"Sanlang, what are you doing?"
The villagers were very frightened.
"I once heard someone say by chance that if the boar was castrated and then raised, it would not only grow faster, but the resulting pork would also be fatter and less fishy."
Luo Yong raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It was the first time in his life that he had done such a thing, and he was also very stressed.
He put the last egg into the bowl smoothly, stood up and walked out of the pig pen.
At this time, his hands were stained with blood.
He was holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a bowl of eggs in the other.
The look was really scary, so Wherever he goes, everyone avoids him.
"There is such a saying."
Most of the villagers were in mixed moods at this time, ranging from curiosity to fear to emotion.
They didn't expect that this young man who looked so refreshing could actually do such a thing.
"That's right.

I heard that this method was mentioned in a farming book, but it's not known to the world."
Luo Sanlang walked outside the pig pen, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said to everyone: "This thing is very beneficial, you can have it"
"I want it, I want it."
All the villagers expressed that they needed to take supplements, and those frightened expressions just now had been blown away by the wind.
Speaking of which, none of these country men have slaughtered their own roosters and hens.
Some of them have also killed pigs and sheep.
Some of them have even returned from the battlefield.
They have seen many bloody scenes.
But they had never thought about castrating live piglets before.
Every time they thought about it afterwards, they unconsciously wanted to reach out and cover their important parts.
Since it is a method mentioned in agricultural books, this kind of thing is not incomprehensible.
Isn't it just castration?
They were all watching just now.
Luo Sanlang's technique was very neat.
He cut off the two balls with one knife on each side.
Even if they were squeezed out, the pigs were still alive and well after a few days.
However, after this incident, Luo Coffin Ban'er's reputation became even more famous, and after some time of development and growth, the child's night cries could be stopped. gd1806102:
