Chapter 49: Chilblains


Luo Yong not only bought all the pears from the Shen family's ancestors and grandsons, but also paid a small deposit and agreed to let them transport the pear seedlings to Xipo Village next spring. .

Several baskets of pears were piled on the donkey cart, and there was no room for him to sit, so he had to walk with the five couples.

Fortunately, the snow stopped after a while, but the wind was still blowing, carrying it with him.

The howling chill swept across this desolate land.

There were also several villagers from Xipo Village who were traveling with them.

They all thought it would be a sunny day, so they went into the city to sell tofu with confidence.

Because tofu cannot withstand the bumps, most of these people carried the load out, and it was easy to go back.

They stacked two empty baskets together, hung them on one end of the pole, lifted them behind their shoulders, and pressed them with their arms in front.

Some, walking very light.

"The weather is cold enough now, so we can make frozen tofu."

A villager said happily.

"What are you going to do tonight?"

another person asked with a smile.

"We'll do it tonight," Luo Yongye asked.

By the time they returned to Xipo Village, it was already dark in the morning.

"Is it possible that Sanlang doesn't know that there are several businessmen from Chang'an City who told me and others a few days ago that they want to buy frozen tofu from our village?"

said the villager.

"I've heard of it."

Luo Yong had also heard of this.

"Make the tofu tonight and freeze it.

Tomorrow, put it on the kang and dry it, and finally make it into frozen dried tofu.

Two pieces can be sold for a penny."

The villager said this latest market situation Tell Luo Yong.

The materials used for those two pieces of tofu were not even a liter of beans.

After their processing, they could sell them for a penny.

In the eyes of the villagers, this was a great thing that fell into the sky.

So when the cold wind blew today, everyone was very happy.

In this cold weather, the tofu must be frozen hard.

I was anxious to go back and make tofu, and my pace speeded up unconsciously.

Fortunately, the five pairs had good physical strength.

They were able to keep up with the large group while pulling several baskets of pears without falling behind.

As we walked, the sky became dark.

It had just snowed today.

The white snow reflected the night light, but we could still see the road clearly.

Walking in this wilderness, they were not afraid of anything else but encountering wild beasts.

The group of people said nothing and just kept their heads on the road.

When they entered the entrance of Xipo Village, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Yong said goodbye to other villagers, drove the donkey cart up the small slope outside his courtyard, walked to the courtyard gate, stretched out his hand and patted the courtyard door twice.

"Who is it?"

Er Niang's voice soon sounded inside.

"It's me."

Luo Yong said.

The courtyard door opened with a creak, and the second mother wrapped in a rabbit skin coat came out to help Luo Yong lead the donkey cart.

In the grocery store next to the courtyard door, the lights were still on.

Seeing Luo Yong come back, the fourth mother and the fifth man came out.

Sui looked over to him with hazy eyes and asked: "Brother, have you bought any pears?"

"I bought it, I bought a lot."

Luo Yong said with a smile.

These little ones may have been waiting at home all day, waiting for him to come back with pears.

"Why did you buy so many pears?

They will spoil if left for a long time."

Er Niang also saw clearly the baskets of pears on the donkey cart at this time, and was very surprised.

"Don't be afraid.

I'll pick up some good ones and put them away, and freeze the rest.

I heard people say that frozen pears are also delicious."

Luo Yong said.

"Seriously" Er Niang has never heard anyone say that there is such a way to eat pears, but this is normal.

She has lived in this small village since she was a child, and her knowledge is very limited.

"Brother, these pears are delicious when frozen."

When she heard that Luo Yong had bought so many pears, Si Niang was so happy that she ran to the yard with her old cloth shoes to look at the pears.

"I heard it's very delicious."

Luo Yong said.

"Then how much should we freeze?"

Wulang also came out and looked at the cart full of pears.

He was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

They had eaten all the pears in the past two days.

The taste was really good, better than the wild ones on the mountain.

The fruit tastes much better, sweet and juicy.

"Can I send some to my sister and my brother-in-law?"

Er Niang asked.

"Yes."

Living in this village is all about having someone come and go.

"How much did you spend to buy so many pears?"

Erniang felt worried about the money while carrying a basket of pears to the grocery store.

"Three hundred and twenty cents."

Luo Yong also moved the pears.

The grandson of the Shen family offered a price of two cents for a pear.

If they bought more, it would cost three cents for five cents.

Luo Yong covered it all for them, so the price was naturally a little lower.

This car of pears cost a total of three hundred Twenty coins, this was because Luo Yong didn't bargain with them much.

In their area, these pears are rarer than the persimmons and dates, but they are not valuable.

There are many people growing pears in Pingyi, and a pear in their area usually only costs about a penny.

This is why in the past few years, vendors from surrounding areas have gone to buy goods from them.

If no one buys, the price of pears will naturally be even lower.

When pears from Pingyi County are shipped to Lishi, they rarely cost less than a penny.

After all, transportation in these days is difficult, and damage will inevitably occur on the road.

It was beginning to snow now, and the pears brought by Shen's ancestors and grandsons were also relatively large.

Luo Yong spent 320 cents to buy them all.

On average, it was about seven or eight pears for ten cents.

First he moved a few baskets of pears to the grocery store, then Luo Yong unloaded the cart for Wu Pair, fed it some bean paste and wheat grains, and then put some soybean meal in the trough and told it to slow down in the barn.

Chew slowly.

These soybean meal were left over from the last time when oil was pressed.

Originally, the people at the oil pressing shop in Xiaohe Village said that they didn’t need to pay for the oil pressing, as long as the soybean meal was left to them.

Luo Yong thought that he still had a donkey at home.

In the end, I paid him the money and brought back the soybean meal and pressed soybean oil.

Soybean meal tastes better than bean dregs, and the five pairs prefer to eat soybean meal.

After eating soybean meal, they don't like to eat bean dregs much.

According to the aunt, Luo Yong is used to it.

"If there are any bruises, pick them out and eat them first.

If you can't finish them, freeze them.

Just pick the best ones and keep a few to eat fresh.

The rest are frozen."

The Luo family does not have a cellar, so there is no way to store it for a long time.

Money is worth a pear, and it would be a pity if it goes bad.

"You bought too much."

Er Niang was worried about the money again.

Three hundred and twenty coins were enough to buy a piece of silk.

He actually bought a bunch of pears and it was nothing.

Food to fill the stomach "Brother, let's steam two of them and eat them first."

Si Niang couldn't wait any longer.

Wu Lang was also impatient, but he was also used to having Si Niang take the lead in everything.

Luo Yong felt that this was not the case.

Great, I was thinking about when to separate the two of them for a while.

"Steam two more."

Luo Yong said, one pear is always required for each person.

Si Niang and Wu Lang happily went out to wash the four pears.

After washing, they came back happily.

They lit the fire, set up the pot, and soon steamed the pears.

Liulang and Qiniang were already fast asleep at this time.

They were on the kang nearby.

The children were sleeping soundly.

They were making so much noise, but the two didn't wake up.

Maiqing Douli'er was quite alert, so he crawled out of his nest after hearing the sound.

After running around in the yard and doing some busy work, he was now guarding the steaming pot, looking forward to it.

Si Niang Wu Lang and the others were able to save a few bites of food for them from between their teeth.

After sorting the pears, they put the ones that should be frozen outside to freeze, and put away the ones that should be collected.

They also burned the fires in several rooms.

After eating the pears, the brothers and sisters went to bed separately.

The next day, Er Niang got up early.

After breakfast, she led Si Niang and Wu Lang to cook pig food.

Luo Yong walked so much yesterday and was a little tired, so he went to bed late and waited for him to finish eating.

After breakfast, when I carried a basket of pears to the Lin family, every household in the village had already been busy making tofu.

The Lin family's courtyard door was wide open.

Luo Yong stepped into the threshold with a basket and saw several Lin family brothers grinding soy milk.

"But I want to make tofu?"

Luo Yong asked with a smile.

"Sanlang is here."

"Come in quickly and sit down."

"Even if you don't come, we'll have to invite you soon.

This is my first time making tofu, so I don't know if I can make it decently."

"He actually brought pears over."

The Lin family has a large population, so when they are busy, the yard becomes very lively.

People these days like this kind of atmosphere.

Like the Luo family and the Lin family, they are both families with many children.

Those whose families have only a few members, treat them like this.

Very envious.

When Father Lin and Mother Lin were able to fall in love with Aunt Luo, it was because of this factor.

The mother was a childbearer, and the daughter was not bad at all.

"We have heard in the past few days that some merchants from other places have come to the city, and the frozen and baked tofu can be sold for a penny for two pieces, so we also want to make some and sell them."

The aunt smiled and took it.

Luo used the basket of pears and said, "Why did you bring so many?"

"When I went into the city yesterday, I happened to come across them, so I bought some more."

Luo Yong said.

"Let's keep it for the little ones at home."

Father Lin was also in the yard at this time.

"I still have it at home."

Luo Yong said with a smile.

The Luo family was preparing to make tofu that day, and Luo Yong happened to come over, so they asked him to give instructions and order the physalis for the tofu.

They had also asked for some from the villagers.

Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang had both helped Luo Yong before and had also made tofu, so they became the main force at this time.

"Why do I have frostbite?"

While working, Luo Yong saw that Aunt Luo had several frostbites on her hands.

Her fingers, which were not originally white and tender, were all red and swollen.

"It's okay, it grows every year."

The aunt rubbed her hands and said with a smile.

"Someday I will ask Er Niang to knit you a pair of gloves from cashmere, and you will wear them when you are not working."

In Luo Yong's eyes, Aunt Luo is just a teenage girl, and winter has just arrived. , her hands became like this, and she didn’t know how she got there in previous years.

He was also careless and didn’t pay attention last year. "" The aunt originally wanted to ask him not to spend the cashmere to knit gloves for himself when he was not working.

He could knit socks and sell them, and a pair would cost a hundred cents.

But when she thought about it, her mother-in-law was here, and when she said these words, it seemed as if the Lin family had treated her harshly, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.

This scene was seen by the two sisters-in-law of the aunt, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

They are both married daughters-in-law.

Aunt Luo's natal family is actually like this.

Even if she has a few chilblains on her hands, she has to worry about them.

Neither of them has chilblains on their hands.

Although the life of the Lin family is good, they should do something Their natal brothers always have to do chores, such as cooking, washing dishes, weaving and making vinegar, but they can't do it like Luo Sanlang.
