Chapter 73: A New Livelihood


Ever since Da Luo Yongchuan came here, I would see Er Niang and the others cooking in pottery pots every day.

Although they found it a bit inconvenient, as time went by, they gradually got used to it.

Everyone knows that iron cauldrons are good, but the price of iron cauldrons is too high.

Most people would not be willing to buy them for cooking.

Pottery cauldrons can be used in the same way.

Luo Yong was reluctant to part with it.

With that kind of money, he might as well buy a few more saplings and plant them in the ground.

Putting on a new pot, the fourth mother continued to cook.

She was making noodles.

The second mother also came out of the backyard.

There was a batch of bean curd to be put into the pot today.

Luo Yong was a little busy because of the pork harvest, so this job was done.

He was picked up by Er Niang.

When Er Niang heard that the pottery cauldron was broken, she felt a little distressed and said, "Why were you not careful?"

Since the pottery cauldron has to take into account the problem of heating, it is made of relatively fine clay, with relatively fine workmanship, uniform thickness, and regular shape, so the price is naturally much higher than ordinary pottery pots.

This means that in their family, if it were any other family, any young lady who broke the cauldron would be scolded a few times.

Money and food were not easy to come by, and no family lived a life without careful planning.

"We always use it to boil lard, so it naturally goes bad quickly," Luo Yong said.

"You're speaking for her again.

I don't know, but Si Niang must be in a hurry again.

Before the pottery cauldron cools down, she rushes to pour cold water into it."

When the pottery cauldron is hot, you can't add cold water immediately, like this Erniang and the others also know some common sense in life.

"Sister, I've touched it with my hands and it's not hot anymore."

Siniang defended.

"Next time, pour hot water in instead of cold water."

Erniang said to her.

"Oh."

Siniang felt aggrieved.

"We've made peace here, but we need to help."

At this time, Er Niang also realized that the tone of what she just said was not good, so she softened her words.

In fact, she felt sorry for Tao Ke, but she didn't blame Si Si very much.

Mother means.

"It's okay, leave it there and wake up."

Siniang said.

"Then let me peel some onions for you," Erniang said again.

"Yeah."

Siniang nodded, feeling more comfortable now.

Luo Yong smiled and saw the interaction between the two sisters and didn't say much.

In his opinion, these children in his family are all very good, but maybe sometimes, his standard of so-called good children is still too low for this era.

Fortunately, he still has a second mother at home.

"Sanlang, change me some miso."

At this time, a yellow and thin little girl walked in from the door of the grocery store.

She struggled to lift a basket of wet bean dregs to the rectangular wooden table in front of the Kang.

"So Xiang'er is here, why haven't I seen your brother recently?"

Luo Yong recognized this little girl.

When Tian Chonghu helped him in the past, he often brought her here to eat.

Luo Erniang on the side saw that Tian Xiang'er's little face was dirty and the clothes on her body were dirty and torn, so she couldn't help but frowned.

Everyone in the village knew more or less about the situation of Tian Chonghu's family.

They lived their own lives on weekdays, and no one cared about other people's affairs.

They just felt sorry for their two children.

Nowadays, every household in Xipo Village earns money and food from making tofu, and their lives are much better than before.

In this village, apart from Feng Gou'er, Tian Xiang'er is probably the one who wears the dirtiest and dirtiest clothes.

After all, even the Yin Lan sisters who have lost their mother-in-law have better food and clothing than Tian Xiang'er.

Tian Xiang'er has both parents, and there are no elderly people to support.

She and Tian Chonghu are the only two children at home.

How can Tian Chonghu still help with the work?

How can he live like this?

"My brother broke his leg a few days ago and is recovering from it."

Tian Xiang'er sniffed and said.

"Well, why did I fall?"

Luo Yong was surprised.

In this day and age, getting sick and injured is no joke.

"Two days ago, I went to sweep snow from the roof and fell."

Tian Xiang'er said.

"Have you seen the doctor?"

Luo Yong asked her.

"Muramasa came over and took a look.

He said that no bones were injured, so he should be fine."

Although Tian Xiang'er looked embarrassed, she spoke smoothly.

"When did this happen?"

Luo Yong frowned and fell from the roof.

He didn't even ask a doctor to take a look.

Even if the bones were not injured, what if the internal organs were injured?

"It's just after New Year's Day."

Tian Xiang'er replied.

"Let me go with you to see him."

Luo Yong said immediately.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Na Tian Chonghu for a long time.

Since that boy learned to make tofu from him, he didn't go out much.

He just stayed at home and made tofu every day.

After all the back and forth about the auntie's matter, he didn't even know about Tian Chonghu's fall injury until now.

"Why is Sanlang here?"

When the two of them went to Tian's yard, Tian Chonghu's mother-in-law saw that it was Luo Lailai and hurriedly came out to greet him.

"I heard that Chonghu fell.

If Xiang'er hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't have known about it."

Luo Yong handed them the eggs he had brought over.

"It's just a sprained foot.

It's not a big deal.

You came as soon as you came, and you did something else with the things."

Tian Chonghu's mother declined and took the things.

"I'll take a look at him, but this house" Luo Yong didn't like Tian Chonghu's parents very much and didn't want to say anything more to them at this time.

When Tian Chonghu's mother saw that Luo Yong was about to enter her son's house, she quickly followed her in: "Look, I've been so busy these days, I haven't even tidied up the house."

"Stop working so hard, I'll just sit down and leave."

Luo Yong saw her sorting things and sweeping the floor, so he also tried to persuade her.

The words "clean" and "clean" really don't go together in this room.

Everywhere is dark, and the floor hasn't been swept for an unknown amount of time.

Tian Chonghu was originally lying on the kang, but when he saw Luo Yaoyong, he He also sat up.

Luo Yong greeted him and felt that the room was not warm enough, so he went to the kang head and planned to help light the fire.

However, he saw that the firewood was supposed to be piled next to the kang head.

Where was the firewood at this time?

, there are only a few scattered twigs left, and then look inside the stove He didn't know how long it had been since he had taken out the ashes.

The ashes from the plants and trees were spreading to the outside.

He stood up again and opened the pottery urn on the top of the kang to take a look.

There was only a little water at the bottom of the urn.

This urn I don’t know how long it’s been since I washed it, but it doesn’t look clean, and the water inside isn’t clean either.

What the hell kind of life has this been?

Luo Yong covered the pottery urn, turned around and sat down on the edge of the kang next to him.

The straw mat on top of the kang was also furry from sleeping on it.

It probably hasn't been replaced since the kang was just laid out the year before last.

The pile of quilt-like things on the bed was so old and dirty that the shape and color could not be discerned.

Looking at Tian Chonghu again, this kid is obviously much thinner than before.

"I heard that you broke your leg, but you're feeling better," Luo Yong asked him.

"It's just a sprained foot.

It's almost healed."

Tian Chonghu looked nonchalant, his eyes wandering.

Luo Yong felt embarrassed and uncomfortable when he saw his shabby appearance.

"Let me look at your feet."

Luo Yong said.

"It's very nice to see.

If Muramasa Fei hadn't asked me to stay on the kang for a month, I would have been able to work long ago."

Tian Chonghu muttered, and when he saw Luo Yong frowning with a straight face, he didn't know why , feeling a little weak in her heart, she honestly stretched out her injured foot to show him.

Luo Yong checked his injuries and found that there was indeed nothing serious.

He must have fallen from the roof before and stumbled when he landed.

Now he was almost healed.

Judging from his mental appearance, it didn't seem like he had suffered internal injuries. people, so they felt relieved.

"Just follow what Tamura Masa said and stay on the kang for a month, and be careful not to leave the root of the disease."

Luo Yong said to Tian Chonghu.

"Oh."

Tian Chonghu responded absently.

Luo Yong knew that he must have lost face at this time, so he didn't stay at his house any longer.

After giving a few more instructions, he got up and left the yard.

Tian Chonghu's mother-in-law came out to see him off again.

Luo Yong waved his hand and walked out of his yard without saying anything else.

A few days later, after Natian Chonghu had stayed on the kang for almost a month, Luo Yong asked him to go to Lishi County with him.

"You can just go to the city by yourself.

You have to call me for anything."

Tian Chonghu was still a little unhappy: "I soaked fifty kilograms of beans last night, and I still want to stay at home and make tofu."

"If it weren't for you, mother-in-law, why would I miss you?"

Luo Yong said.

"They don't do a good job.

Now my tofu is the worst seller in the whole village.

If people from outside the country didn't come to collect goods from time to time, my family's business would have been ruined."

Tian Chonghu sat in the car and moved a little uneasily.

Butt: "You really don't want to ride in a car.

My feet have already healed."

"You sit in your seat."

Luo Yong said: "Then how did they live before you grew up and couldn't work?"

"Just fool around, as long as you don't starve to death."

"Then just let them continue to fool you."

"That's okay.

If you continue like this, I won't be able to find a wife in the future, and my sister won't be able to find a good husband."

"Now I'm starting to think about my wife.

Is it because I've fallen in love with someone else's little lady?"

"" The two chatted all the way, and when they entered Lishi County, Luo Yong went directly to the place where ironware was sold.

At this time, salt and iron wine were both government-owned and privately owned.

There were many vendors selling salt and wine in Lishi County, but as for ironware, it was mainly government-owned.

There is a blacksmith shop in the county.

It is private.

It mainly helps people process some small pieces of iron, renovate and repair them, such as the two small tools that many people in the county now use to make bamboo chains.

The iron in them Part of it came from this blacksmith shop.

There is also a government-run iron shop, where most villagers go to buy kitchen knives and agricultural tools.

"Why is Sanlang here today, but he wants to buy farm tools?"

Nowadays in Lishi County, there is no one who doesn't know Luo Sanlang.

The person in charge of the iron shop is a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance and a goatee.

"I want to buy an iron cauldron."

Luo Yong said.

"What size iron cauldron do you want?"

The middle-aged man led him to look at the iron cauldron.

There were three sizes of iron cauldrons: large, medium and small.

One of each type was placed there.

The facade of this iron shop is dark and the lighting is not very good.

There are a lot of things in the shop, mainly farm tools.

There are all kinds of large and small farm tools.

Compared to the lively farm tools area, there are a few iron cauldrons.

It was lonely and had a lot of dust on it.

It had obviously been neglected for a long time.

"How much does this cost?"

Luo Yong asked, pointing to one of the iron cauldrons.

This iron cauldron was about a foot in diameter and was already the smallest one in the shop.

"This iron cauldron costs four thousand six hundred yuan."

The iron seller replied. "" When he heard the price, Luo Yong asked if it could be cheaper, but at least he remembered that this was not a roadside stall in the 21st century.

Bargaining was not popular at this time, especially in this kind of place.

In the official shop, it was even more true.

In the early Tang Dynasty, with the continuous development of iron smelting technology, the use of iron tools became more common.

In the past, iron was more expensive than copper, but now copper is more expensive than iron, but not much more.

At this time, one copper coin weighed one penny.

According to current measurement units, one thousand copper coins weighed six kilograms and four taels, and 4,600 copper coins weighed almost twenty-nine and a half kilograms.

Luo used his hands to test the weight of the iron cauldron, and found that it weighed about forty kilograms.

Because the smelting and pouring technology were not very developed, the iron cauldron at this time looked quite bulky.

Such a large piece of iron would not be cheap even if it were left in later generations.

Luo Yong bought the iron cauldron and asked for some hot water to clean the iron cauldron inside and out.

Nowadays, every household in Lishi County has a heated kang with hot water on top.

Luo Yong knew many people in the city, so it was easy to ask for some hot water from anyone.

The cleaned pottery cauldron was placed on a stove by Luo Yong, and firewood was lit underneath to burn it.

A few large lumps of lard that condensed into a snow-white paste were added to the cauldron.

"I just thought of a new business in the past few days.

From now on, you will stay in the city and help me sell this."

Luo Yong said to Natian Chonghu while busy with his hands.

"Then what should I do at home?"

Tian Chonghu said.

"There is a future in buying and selling tofu."

Luo Yong said to him: "If you work hard for me for three or two years, you will have enough money to marry your wife, and your sister's dowry will also be enough."

This boy was unlucky and didn't meet his good mother.

After seeing the scene in his house last time, Luo Yong wanted to get him out.

For such a family, even Luo Sanlang, who had used the cheat, had no choice but to get the person out early, lest he be dragged to death by his unreliable mother-in-law one day in the future.
