The Xu brothers owed a lot of foreign debt when they built the Xu family guest house last winter.
After the house is built, money is spent to buy everything needed in the guest house, from kitchen utensils and cutlery to kang table cushions, to utensils and bedding in each guest room.
Money is spent like water.
Originally, there was no iron cauldron in their guest house, but because the customers in the store liked to order fried noodles with soybean paste, the pottery cauldron became unused as the noodles were cooked too many times.
Within a few months of opening the store, the pottery cauldron was broken.
Two or three.
Unable to do so, the Xu brothers had no choice but to borrow some more copper coins from their fellow disciples who had just returned from Chang'an City, and went to Lishi County to buy an iron cauldron.
This results in more debt.
Recently, Luo Yong's one hundred acres of land has been planted with beans, corn and other crops.
When the Xu family brothers are not busy in the guest house, they will also find time to make wool felt cushions.
Among the brothers, Xu Sanlang is the most lively and the one who can't sit still the most.
Recently, he is mainly responsible for the work in the front store.
Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang mainly focus on the wool felt cushions.
"Erlang, if it is not winter this year, I will take the younger ones at home and go to Chang'an City with everyone."
The rooms in the guest house are very spacious, and it is also convenient for the two brothers to work in the same room.
It doesn't look cramped.
"Even if you go to Chang'an City this year, you may not have much work to do on the fire bed.
Don't keep talking about these things, which will make Aye worried for nothing."
Xu Erlang advised.
In the past, when their uncle was running business outside, he would disappear from sight.
This was a worry for them.
"If this continues, when will the money be repaid?"
Xu Dalang said anxiously.
Although the business in the store is good, and Professor Luo Yong's fish-flavored shredded pork dish has recently added some income to them, they now owe tens of thousands of dollars in foreign debt.
"If you can't meditate, don't make this mat first, so as not to waste the wool."
Xu Erlang looked up at his brother and sighed.
Xu Dalang lowered his head and looked at his cushion, which was already a little out of shape, so he had no choice but to put down the work first.
This peony cushion is made with fine workmanship.
You need to calm down and work carefully.
If you are anxious and eager for quick success, you will definitely not be able to make a good cushion.
Xu Dalang walked to the front hall.
It was already past lunch time and the front hall was not very busy.
He looked around and didn't see Xu Weng, so he asked his eldest son, "Where is your uncle?"
"It's outside."
His son pointed to the west of the guest house.
Xu Dalang went out and saw his father holding a broken hoe and cultivating the wasteland next to the guest house.
"Aye, why are you digging this land?
Didn't you open a vegetable plot not long ago?"
Xu Dalang asked.
"Our guest house uses a lot of soybean oil, so why not grow some beans at home to avoid spending money to buy them."
Xu Weng straightened his back and said to Xu Dalang.
"This place is used for grazing cattle and horses.
If you take care of this place, where will the cattle and horses coming and going from merchants be placed in the future?"
Even so, Xu Erlang went over to help him pick up the stones.
"The cattle and horses had to be herded far away."

Xu Weng said.
He did not dare to cultivate the wasteland in the distance.
He was afraid that the people in Xipo Village would be unhappy and that the government would investigate him for cultivating the wasteland privately.
However, the land here was included in the foundation of his guest house.
It shouldn't be a big deal if you dig it.
Luo Yong happened to come over with a basket of oil residue at this time.
Seeing the father and son opening up land there, he asked them: "Are we going to grow vegetables again?"
"I, Ayeyan, want to plant some beans."
Xu Dalang replied.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to grow many beans in such a small area.
There is still a lot of wasteland on my slope, and I won't be able to plant it all this year.
If you want to plant beans, go and plant them there."
Luo Yong said.
"How can this be done?"
Xu Weng declined quickly.
"It doesn't matter, it's just as much land as it is uncultivated.
Just help me pay the land rent for these five hectares of land.
It's a good thing to have someone to help pay the rent."
Besides, they helped Luo Yong cultivate the land and sow the seeds in the spring, and Luo Yong didn't know how to thank them.
He couldn't handle so many fields by himself.
If he didn't hire people to help him in the future, he would have to point to his own disciples.
Now the Xu family gave him a reminder that the fields that Luo Yong could not finish cultivating at one time were a coveted good thing for many of his disciples.
"Sanlang, today's lard is ready."
At this time, Mrs.
Xu in the hall heard their voices and came out.
"It's all done."
Luo Yong smiled and handed her the basketful of lard residue.
These edible oil residues are made from better suet and fat meat.
Generally, the oil residues are like large intestine oil or miscellaneous oil.
Luo Yong just uses them for retting.
The Luo family now produces a lot of oil residue every day, which he cannot eat all at home.
In addition, eating it every day is not healthy, so he now takes it to the Xu family's guest house in exchange for manure.
There are many cows and horses in the Xu family's guest house, and they can't use up the little vegetable plot they opened earlier.
If they open another bean plot in the future, they will wait until then.
Today, this dustpan oil residue was exchanged for Luo Yong for two loads of manure.
Xu Dalang helped him pick one load, and Luo Yong picked one load himself.
Xu Sanlang ran out of the kitchen and said he wanted to pick it for him, but Luo Yong Declined.
The last two loads of manure were poured by Luo Yong into a pit at the foot of his home.
In the pit were some dead branches and leaves that Si Niang and the others scraped back from the hillside with bamboo rakes, as well as weeds and soil that Luo Yong hoeed from the nearby roadside, as well as pig urine and feces, domestic garbage, and some oil residue.
The shabu-shabu water and the cow dung and horse dung picked up from the Xu family guesthouse were all very fat.
There was no good waterproofing method at this time, so Luo Yong put the fertilizer in the pit to ferment.
Over time, some fertility would inevitably be lost.
Luo Yong wondered in his mind whether he should dig out some of the soil around the pit when digging a pit for fertilizer tomorrow to avoid wasting it.
Not long after, Xu Erlang heard from his Aye and eldest brother that Luo Yong wanted to lend them the slope land to grow beans, so he came to Luo Yong's house to talk with Luo Yong in detail.
When he came over, he was holding a large plate of hot cooking cakes in his hands.

When the children of the Luo family saw the cooking cakes, they cheered and surrounded him.
At this time, people called steamed buns pancakes.
The pancakes in the Xu family guest house were stuffed with oil residue and seasonal vegetables, and thick flour was used as the skin.
In recent days, a batch can be made every evening, and one penny can buy three.
Because the price is affordable, the porters and vendors in their area often use it as their staple food.
"Brother, we won't be making dinner today."
Siniang held a bun in her mouth and reached out to hand one to Luo Yong.
"I won't do it anymore."
Xu Erlang took a lot.
Such a large plate of steamed buns was enough for his brothers and sisters to have a full meal.
"Take it while it's hot and eat it with Erniang and the others."
"Oh."
Siniang responded, picked up the plate and went to the backyard.
Wulang, Liulang and Qiniang had wheat and green beans followed behind her.
She took away the whole plate of steamed buns.
It was not necessary.
Are you following closely?
Luo Yong lowered his head and took a bite of the bun in his hand, and then took a sip of the soup inside.
Sister-in-law Xu and the others were really good at rolling the bun skin so thin that it wouldn't break easily when steamed.
To be honest, these days, thin crust and large fillings are not a good thing, because food is precious and the fillings of this cake are mainly vegetables.
I heard from Aunt Luo that they added a few other miscellaneous grains to the thick noodles used to make buns.
Luo Yong didn't pay much attention to this, so he didn't take note of it carefully.
No matter what, the price of three for a penny is really affordable and the taste is very good.
If it were a place selling buns like this next to his house when he was a bachelor, Luo Yong would definitely eat them every day.
