In the next few days, people kept coming from Chang'an City, including merchants and people from big families.
They all went to Xipo Village to find Luo Yong, hoping to buy peony cushions from Luo Yong.
The name "peony cushion" originally just meant a peony-shaped cushion.
Recently, it has been used by these people.
It seems to have become synonymous with this kind of wool felt cushion.
It is like a brand.
Regardless of the pattern, it can be called peony. cushion.
It happened that Luo used this time to develop some new patterns, and these samples were placed in his grocery store.
Each mat has a different price due to its different area, color, and complexity of the pattern.
The earliest batch of round cushions with flower patterns were sold for only one hundred cents each.
The price of other cushions, whether expensive or cheap, was based on this fixed price.
After the peony cushions became popular, the people who rushed to Xipo Village to buy goods as soon as possible would naturally not be stingy with the one or two taels of money.
They all focused on the largest and most expensive blankets and placed orders.
Of course , other styles, if you can get them, bring a few more by the way, they won’t be too much.
Luo Yong and his disciples are very busy recently.
Luo Yong is mainly busy dealing with those people who come to buy goods.
Some of them are so impatient that they want to rush him five or six times a day.
Fortunately, Luo Yong is not like Heng Yu.
Usually people will be anxious with them, no matter what the other party says, anyway, they are shipping one by one according to the order.
It is impossible to insert orders, no matter whether it is soft or hard, it will not work, and it will be a big deal if it makes you anxious.
Do your business.
On this day, a restaurant in Lishi County.
The two guests were sitting across from each other on the hot bed, drinking warm wine.
Suddenly they heard the clatter of horse hooves outside.
After a while, a young man appeared at the door of the wine shop in the wind and snow, and handed over the horses.
Guys, open the curtain and walk into the store.
"What do you think Luo Sanlang said?"
The two people saw him coming and asked quickly.
"It's useless no matter what I say.
Luo Sanlang is just a man who doesn't know how to deal with things."
The man said and sat down on the kang.
"Tsk, that coffin board's name is indeed not for nothing.
Come on, let's take a sip of hot wine first."
"That's all, we came quite early."
"You don't have to worry about someone else getting ahead of you."
"Does he know that you and I are together?"
"Probably I don't know."
"That's good.
If I had known earlier, we should have gone there in three parts."
"Who would have thought that there would be a purchase limit." "" It turned out that these three people were from the same big family.
They went to Xipo Village together that day.
Two people entered the Luo family yard, and the other person was watching the horses outside.
As a result, he was informed about the purchase restriction and reported the name of his husband.
The number was not easy to use, so in the end I had no choice but to place an order and go out.
The next day, the three of them thought about it and asked their companion who had not shown his face to Luo Yong to place another order.

Today they asked this person to push for the order.
Firstly, they were really anxious.
The sooner they could get the peony cushion, the better.
Secondly, they also wanted to test Luo Yong’s attitude.
If Luo Yong had just relaxed, what would happen?
It's a bit troublesome.
In fact, these people are not the only ones who are anxious.
Most of Luo Yong's disciples were from poor backgrounds.
Knowing that large carpets could be sold for one or two taels each, they worked hard these days and used all the labor available at home.
As for the neighbors, it's hard to ask them to do other things, but they can always poke the mat.
This is also Luo Yong's instruction.
Take these mats back and make them.
If your family wants to learn, you can teach them, but you need to be more careful and don't spread this craft to others for a while.
It doesn't matter if you poke the mat.
That afternoon, the Xu brothers were making carpets in the house.
The three brothers are all good at craftsmanship, so they did not go to Chang'an this time, but stayed in Lishi County.
Although you can earn some money by setting fire beds for people when you go out, it is not as stable as at home.
It is thousands of miles away and the journey is very long.
They have wives and children at home.
Now that they have learned the craft of making wool felt cushions, they are naturally more willing to do so.
Stay at home, even if you want to go out and explore, you have to wait until the children at home grow up.
"Erlang, look at how well my cushions are poked."
A neighbor came over under the heavy snow, holding two small cushions with circular flower patterns that had been poked.
"Let me take a look."
Xu Erlang handed the mallet to his eldest son, stood up and moved to the edge of the Kang, borrowed the two seat cushions that the other party brought, looked at them carefully, and said, "I poked them very carefully. " When the other party heard what he said, he immediately smiled and raised his eyebrows: "That's good.
The first time I do it, I'm always worried that I won't do it well."
"Do you want to take some more to make?"
Xu Erlang accepted the two mats, took out four copper plates from the kang head cabinet and handed them to the other party, and asked again.
"What you need is what you need.
No matter how idle you are, you are idle.
It's just the right job to do.
You can do it while sitting on the kang, and you won't get wind or cold."
The other party said quickly.
"Then this time, you can take a big one back."
Xu Erlang put his shoes off the kang and took out a peony cushion rolled into a long tube from the shelf.
This is the most fashionable style nowadays. , about 1.5 meters in size, with several different patterns, among which the best-selling one is the peony flower pattern.
"If you poke a piece like this out, you can get twenty cents.
If you have a large family, you can make it in three to five days."
Xu Erlang said to his neighbor.
"Okay, let's poke a big one this time."
The neighbor estimated in his mind that this big mat should not be as big as ten small mats, and it cost 20 cents each, which is a good deal.
The neighbor took the work and went back to do it.
Xu Erlang went to look at the houses of his two brothers.
If he saw that they had insufficient colors, he would replenish them in time.
In addition, he would visit the homes of several other fellow disciples in the city every three or five days to replenish them with some dyed wool, and the prepared mats should also be collected in time.

If there are enough for shipment, , and asked the vendors who were traveling between Xipo Village and Lishi County to tell Luo Yong to come over to collect money and ship the goods.
Every time Luo Yong entered the city, he would pull a cart of wool over and take it directly to Xue Ji Cloth Workshop, where he would have it dyed by Xue Weng.
When he was done dyeing it, Xu Erlang would go get it and distribute it to his fellow sects in the city.
Due to the popularity of this peony cushion, the business of Xue Ji's cloth shop has become booming recently.
Just the wool that Luo Yong pulls every time is enough to keep Xue Weng's family busy.
In fact, not only Xue Ji Bufang, the business of many merchants in the city is much better than before, especially those restaurants and guesthouses.
These days, many people in the city are doing the job of poking mats at home.
This job does not have much technical content, and even the elderly and children can do it.
You can earn money by sitting on the hot kang and doing some small jobs.
For these small town people who are used to poverty, this is almost like picking up money.
Everyone works hard, fearing that You poke less mats and make less money than others.
After passing this village, I don’t know if this shop still exists.
"Mommy, my hands hurt so much."
The child's hands are tender, and blisters will form on his hands if he holds the bamboo stick for a long time.
"Let me take a look."
The mother-in-law opened the strip of cloth on his finger and saw that the blisters inside were broken, so she said distressedly: "If your hand hurts, then take a rest."
Beside, there were two older children, who kept silent and just kept poking at the mat.
Most of the older children had experienced the feeling of starvation and knew that as long as they poked out the mat, their family could earn money.
If you have money to buy food, you won’t be afraid of going hungry.
Although their family is much better now than before, as Ye Niang said, I don't know if such good things will happen in the future.
Now that they can make such easy money, they naturally want to earn more.
Many people in the county are busy making and poking cushions, and Xipo Village is not idle either.
Those solid-color cushions are very fast to make, but it takes some effort to poke them.
Those from the Lin family cannot poke them out by themselves.
I had to take it out and ask others to help me do it.
If it was in Xipo Village, Luo Yong had already offered two cents for the craftsmanship fee.
If they offered it lower, naturally no one would do it.
If you get it from Mrs.
Lin's and Mrs.
Lin's natal family, they will give you a penny and a half for each mat, and many villagers will rush to make it.
Sister-in-law Lin and Sister-in-law Lin can't always go to their parents' house.
The Lin family has also been making tofu recently, and there is also work to do at home.
If the weaving is delayed, Mother Lin will definitely not be able to agree.
There are many men in their family, and the annual rent is A mediocre song requires a lot of cloth.
If you don’t weave cloth on weekdays, what will you do when it’s tax time?
So every time I come back to Xipo Village to hand over mats and pick up mats, they are usually the natal brothers of Sister-in-law Lin and Sister-in-law Lin.
On this day, when Luo Yong was cooking pig food, he saw an old man walking into the village carrying a bundle of things that he thought were wool felt cushions.
After asking someone about it, he found out that the man was actually the father of the second sister-in-law Lin.
Such an old man actually wants to go out for a walk in such a windy and snowy day.
I wonder what the situation is like in the second sister-in-law Lin's natal family.
At this time, men were required to serve in the corvee for forty years starting from the age of twenty-one.
Usually, they were discharged at the age of sixty.
It's just that in this era, how many people can live to be sixty years old?
Heavy labor makes people age quickly.
Lin Ersao's father, who is not even sixty yet, is already so gray-haired.

"Old man, it's windy and snowy today and the road is difficult to travel, but you want me to take you there in a donkey cart."
When he came out of the village, Luo Yong stood in front of the hay shed next to the pig pen and said to him in a loud voice.
"No, no, no, it's not that far, we'll be there in a short walk."
Sister-in-law Lin's father waved her hands in refusal.
He carried a bundle of wool felt mats on his back and walked on the snow with his rough feet wearing straw sandals.
After a while, he couldn't see clearly anymore.
I'm in good shape, it's really snowing heavily today. gd1806102:
