After a few spring rains, the weather began to become warm and humid, and Luo Yong's disciples began to busy helping their master sow seeds, driving oxen and supporting columbians to sow the seeds into the soil ridge by ridge.
The Luo family's original fields, plus the newly acquired five hectares of fertile land, add up to about 100 acres, and this spring they are cultivating this 100 acres.
After plowing and plowing, the Luo family's hundreds of acres of land have been plowed and plowed again and again.
With such intensive cultivation, I think these fields should have a good harvest this year.
Most of this hundred acres of land is planted with beans, and a small part is planted with corn.
The Luo family now does not make the tofu used to make fermented bean curd themselves, but gives the beans to the villagers for processing.
Because his business is large in volume and close at hand, the villagers only accept the leftover bean dregs from making tofu as payment. .
This bean dregs is also very useful now.
Not only can it be used to let the Dinghu people help clean the pig pens, but it can also be used to hire people to do farm work in the fields.
This spring, many families in Xipo Village have hired helpers with bean dregs.
Those People earned the bean dregs and went back.
Some kept it to make rations at home, some took it to some pig farmers in other villages and exchanged it for grain, and some took it to the Luo family and exchanged it for miso fermented bean curd and other products.
Keep what you eat, and resell some.
The Luo family doesn't make tofu themselves, so they don't produce bean dregs.
The bean dregs used to raise pigs at home are basically exchanged for fermented bean curd and miso.
Luo Siniang sat at the canteen every day.
From time to time, adults and children in the village came to her with bean dregs to exchange for things.
Although it was an inconspicuous small business, both parties made a lot of profits from it.
When the villagers exchanged these things, they didn’t eat them all by themselves.
It was inevitable for relatives to go back and forth.
This time I brought two jars of fermented bean curd to this relative.
The relative returned some twine and gave it to the relatives over there next time.
After passing a liter of soy sauce, relatives over there would give them some grains they didn't have at home.
In the past, these were all things that required money and food to be exchanged for, but now you only need to exchange them for bean dregs.
After a busy period of spring plowing, every household can stop and take a breath.
Luo Yong's disciples have also gone home to reunite with their families.
They will wait for a few days and then slowly think about their future livelihood.
From last autumn and winter to the beginning of this year, both those who went to Chang'an City and those who stayed in Lishi County earned a lot of money and food.
At this time, there was no pressure and they could just relax and take a rest.
However, Luo Yong had no rest.
More and more people came to him to buy soap.
Nowadays, most of the people living in the Xu family guest house are waiting for Luo Yong to place orders.
The Xu brothers didn't have much rest, and Hengyu and his son probably didn't have much rest either.
I heard that the city was very lively recently.
"Who wants twine and twine?"
Wang Dang and the others, after digging the 60,000 tree pits earlier, repaired and expanded the yard of Luo Yong's grandfather's house, and then built another Small businesses are running around here.
They first bought some bean curd bean paste and soy sauce from Luoyong, and then took these things in their cars to find people in various villages to exchange for twine.
When they returned to Xipo Village, they exchanged the twine with the villagers for bean dregs, and finally used Replace bean dregs and roe with fermented bean curd and miso.
"Is the twine this time good?
The twine you recycled is not good."
The villagers listened to the shouting and gathered here one after another.
Since the villagers in Xipo Village started making tofu, they have less and less time to spin hemp, so many people want to stock up on hemp thread at home.
"I was wrong last time.
This time Ahe went out with me to collect it.
It must be thin and even."

Wang Dang promised, patting his chest and picking up small bundles of twine from the car to everyone.
Take a closer look.
"But it's still half a stone of bean dregs for a pound of hemp."
The villagers took a closer look at the twine this time and were quite satisfied.
There are not many such good craftsmanship in their village.
"Exactly."
Wang Dang smiled.
"You wait, I'll go back and get the bean dregs."
Someone immediately decided to change.
"I'll change some too."
The adults in the village are busy making tofu, and the young ladies are busy knitting sweaters.
It's true that no one is spinning hemp anymore.
If we don't use the bean dregs to exchange more for the house and store it at home, we may not be able to do it again in the future.
It takes a lot of money and food to get it.
This cart of twine was divided up by the villagers in a short time, in exchange for a lot of bean dregs, which could not be loaded in the original cart.
Wang Dang asked Ahe to stay here and watch, while he pushed the cart himself.
A cart transported these bean dregs to Luo's yard.
Most of the bean dregs exchanged for today went into the Luo family's yard, and the other half was transported back to their own yard.
I don't know if this small business can last long.
According to Ahe's wish, they will also raise a few of their own. pig.
"If anyone has wheat, you can exchange some for it, and I will buy it from you at the market price."
On this day, after completing the transaction of exchanging fermented bean curd for bean dregs, Luo Yong said to Wang Dang.
The wheat his family had collected from the summer trip had been eaten up, and they exchanged some with the villagers, but it was still not enough.
Going to the city to buy it would take a lot of effort because of the long journey, so it would be appropriate to leave this business to Wang Dang and the others.
This year's wheat is about to fall, and someone should be willing to sell the old wheat at this time.
After the wheat is harvested, Luo Yong will have to buy more new wheat.
His family didn't plant it last year, so naturally there will be no wheat to harvest this year. , all have to be bought.
"There's no need to take money, just give me some soap."
Wang Dang said with a smile.
Ever since he finished digging the 60,000 tree pits, he felt much more relaxed.
He was debt-free and light-hearted.
"If you want soap, you have to collect lard and exchange it with me, not wheat."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"How can I collect lard?
Now those merchants are collecting lard in the city.
Even if we carry all the lard from Lishi County, we still can't buy it anywhere."
Why doesn't Wang Dang want to collect oil?
Isn't he unable to rob those people?
In the past, three liters of corn could be exchanged for one pound of suet, but now those people can exchange it for a bucket of corn.
How could Wang Dang have the financial resources to mix with them?
.
Speaking of which, the family that raised pigs last year really made a fortune this time.
I sold pork to Luo Yong earlier, and then immediately used the money to buy piglets to raise.
It shouldn't be a loss.
I hid the money at home.

I'm probably going to regret it now. .
The price of piglets in their place has been very high recently.
It is not cost-effective to buy piglets at this time.
If the price of meat and oil drops next year, you may have to lose money after working hard to raise pigs.
"There's nothing we can do if we don't have lard.
There are so many eyes staring at the entrance to the village."
The reason why those merchants went around buying lard was naturally to use it to exchange for soap with Luo Yong: "I'll take a look at the pot of soap at the back."
"Okay, that's what I said."
Wang Dang naturally knew that this matter was useless.
While the two were talking, before Luo Yong got up and went back to the backyard, he saw a few men in shabby clothes entering the yard: "But Luo Sanlang's house?"
"Exactly, I am Luo Sanlang."
Luo Yong walked out of the grocery store.
Listening to the other person's accent, he had a vague guess in his heart.
"We are from Pingyi County.
You had an appointment with Shen Weng last winter, and today we are here to deliver pear seedlings for him."
One of the older men said.
"Shen Wengta" Luo Yong noticed that the other party used "for" instead of "help".
"Shen Weng passed away years ago."
People here are used to referring to death as leaving.
"He actually left."
Luo Yong said sadly.
"Sanlang doesn't need to worry.
The old man sold those pears last year and earned some money.
His children and grandchildren are filial, so he gave him a few good days before sending him away," the other party said.
"Everyone in Shen Weng's family is fine.
I remember that there was a young man who was about the same age as me who came with him to sell pears years ago."
Luo Yong asked about Shen Xu.
"Shen Xu is right behind.
He can't move fast with a few pigs, so I'll get here first."
A young man next to him said.
"You even drove the pigs here?"
Luo Yong was surprised.
"I heard that the price of pigs in Lishi County has been high recently, so I exchanged the food at home for some pigs and came here to sell them.
Many villagers came together.
It is safer to walk on mountain roads with more people."
Pingyi County and Lishi County On the border, from Shenxuan's village to Xipo Village, it was not necessary to pass through the county.
It was closer to take the dirt road between the villages.
They passed several villages along the way and walked for two days before arriving. .
The pear saplings were just outside the courtyard.
Luo Yong went out to see them.
Because these people had to walk on the mountain road, they did not use cars.
Instead, they tied up the saplings with straw ropes, then tied them directly in with poles, bundled them one by one, and picked them up to carry them.
Walk.
Luo Yong counted the number of saplings, there were fifty-three in total, including twenty-one large seedlings and thirty-two small seedlings.
Earlier, Luo Yong and Shen Weng had agreed on twenty large seedlings and thirty small seedlings.

Apparently, the other party gave three more seedlings.
"These pear seedlings are good.
These big seedlings will bear fruit this year," Luo Yong asked.
"As long as they are not injured, they will bear fruit this year."
One of the young men said: "At the beginning of spring, Shen Xu said that he would send saplings, but we were afraid of missing the spring plowing.
Although it was a little late at this time, it was still a good time.
Before the pear trees bloom."
"Nothing, of course spring plowing is important."
Luo Yongyan said.
For the farmers at this time, nothing was as important as the crops in the fields.
The tofu business in Xipo Village was quite profitable, but when spring plowing came, not every household had to stop business and go to work in the fields. of work.
"It's getting late now, why don't you guys chat first while I plant these saplings for you."
Wang Dang scratched his neck and interrupted.
"Do you know where is the right place to plant?"
Luo Yong asked him.
"Don't worry, I'm more familiar with your land than you are.
I've helped people plant pear trees before, so I'll choose a good place for them."
In Wang Dang's view, although Luo Yong is smart and capable, he is still a scholar.
When it comes to being a farmer, he is really not as good as him and his brothers.
They don't have any land at home and can't do any miscellaneous work.
Having helped others, planting a few fruit trees was no problem.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Luo Yong didn't want to leave these pear saplings overnight, and it was hard to leave these Pingyi people who had come from afar to dry.
"What's so hard about this?"
Wang Dang knelt down to pack up the saplings, tied them up as before, and headed up the slope.
Not long after, several more people ran down the slope, and they followed Luo Yong and others with smiles.
After saying hello, each person took a load and moved all the saplings away in a few strokes.
There are two roads from Luo Yong's grandpa's yard to here, one is from outside the village entrance, and the other is from inside the village.
On the small soil slope in front of Luo's house, you can see several small trees in the distance.
Trees, Luo Yong’s grandfather’s yard is behind those small trees.
These Dinghu people were very grateful to Luo Yong for lending them the yard.
After repairing the yard and moving here, they felt as if they had taken root in the village.
Recently, some people have gone back to Dinghu County to pick up their families.
I believe that it will not be long before the small, shabby courtyard becomes a lively and bustling courtyard.
At this time, Si Niang and Wu Lang came back with Pig Cao on their backs and led Liu Lang and Qiniang as well as their own donkeys, donkeys and dogs.
This afternoon, Wulang came back from school.
After dinner, he and Siniang did homework together for half an hour.
After that, the siblings drove the fifth pair to grind two bushels of wheat.
Later, Peng Er went to the backyard to replace Luo Yong.
Luo Yong looked at the grocery store and asked them to go out to play.
Not only the four mothers and five mothers needed to play, but his six mothers and seven mothers also had to go out for some fun.
Children cannot be raised at home all day long.
"Wu Lang, look at the shop.
Si Niang, go to the Xu family's guesthouse and ask them to prepare some food."
After that, Luo Yong asked the Pingyi people: "How many people are here in total this time?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"No, no, we brought our own dry food."
The older man heard that Luo Yong wanted to treat them to a meal, and quickly declined.
"It's okay.
That's a guest house opened by my disciple.
The price is not expensive."
Luo Yong smiled and said, "Six Niang, just ask them to prepare meals for ten people, plus a few of our family members.
We'll also be there tonight."
Eat there.”
"We won't be cooking tonight."
Siniang's eyes lit up.
"I won't be cooking anymore.
I'll be eating over there."
Occasionally, we have to give the cook a break.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When she heard that she didn't have to cook tonight and could go to a restaurant, Siniang was happy and quickly headed out of the village.
"What should we do?"
Those Pingyi people were still a little cautious.
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Yong waved his hand and said: "If they knew that you were driving pigs here, those people living in the guest house might have to fight to pay you, but I have made an agreement with you.
The price of pigs here recently, live pigs, can be sold for three cents per pound.
If the price is lower than this, you must not sell it. " "Really" a pound of live pig can be sold for three cents, so what is the price of pork?
In their Pingyi area, if one pound of pork can be exchanged for three liters of corn, it is considered a relatively good price.
With the current price of food, three liters of corn costs less than two cents, and it has to be pure pork, one head.
After cutting off the head and tail of the pig, draining the blood, removing the entrails, and removing the bones, there was not much clean pork in total.
A pound of live pig costs three cents, but a sixty- to seventy-pound live pig can be sold for around two hundred cents.
This is simply "Stay here for the night.
You can also go to Lishi County tomorrow to have a look.
Today's Lishi County is no longer what it used to be."
Luo Yong stretched out his hand and motioned for several people to follow him to the entrance of the village.
"Weng Shen visited Lishi County last year, and after returning he always said it was lively here."
"Those people just now were" "They are from Dinghu County."
"I heard that Dinghu County is also very wealthy."
"Dinghu County is in Shizhou and is a large county."
"There is Mengmen Pass over there."
A few people were talking at the entrance of the village while waiting for those who were driving pigs from behind.
During the conversation, Luo Yong learned that Shen Xu's father had leg disease and his mother was weak and could not do heavy work.
There is also an elder sister above Shen Xu who got married last autumn.
Her husband's family is in the village next to them.
This time his brother-in-law also came with her.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a few people driving a group of pigs over there in the distance.
Both humans and pigs looked dusty and dusty.
If Luo Yong hadn't remembered Shen Xu's age, it would have been hard for Luo Yong to recognize him.
The two parties greeted each other and then drove the pigs to the Xu family guest house. .
Many merchants now live in the Xu family guest house.
When these merchants saw them driving a group of dirty pigs, not only did they not look disgusted, but they all came out happily, as if they were meeting their relatives.

The Pingyi people were so confused that they almost thought they had entered a black shop.
These many merchants, plus nine people from Pingyi County, old and young, Wang Dang and others came over to join in the fun.
A room full of young and old men from all over the world almost filled the huge hall of the Xu family guest house. .
Aunt Luo finished her work and did not eat with them.
She took some food from here and went back to eat with her second wife, Peng Er and the others.
Neither of them came over, but sent a few children from home.
The children were all He loves to be lively, and when there are more people here, they start talking about all kinds of things, which is really fun for them to listen to.
Then Yang Dalang also gave these Pingyi people some advice: "Your place is close to here.
In the future, you can grow more beans, plant the beans and squeeze soybean oil.
The soybean oil will be sold to Luo Sanlang, and the soybean meal will be used to raise pigs.
When the pig is grown, the fat meat is sold to Luo Sanlang and the lean meat is kept for himself. " When it’s over, I have to sigh again: “Oh, it’s great to have land.”
Wang Dang listened on the sidelines and patted his brother's thin little shoulder with his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan. gd1806102:
