In the afternoon of this day, as usual, Luo Yong went to the Xu family guest house to teach arithmetic.
Before class, two young men from Xiaohe Village brought Luo Yong a small basket of malt candies.
Two days ago, Luo Yong asked a villager from his village who came to deliver hemp paper to give him three buckets of millet and wheat, and asked an old man from his village to help him make caramel.
Now that the candy is ready, he has someone give it to him.
Brought over.
Luo Yong took the basket and bumped it, and realized that the other party didn't charge much for his wages, so he said: "When you two go back later, remember to help me bring some buns to Huang Weng."
The old man Huang who makes sweets for people is about the same age as Zou Lizheng, but he is not as blessed as Zou Lizheng.
He originally had a son, but he preceded him, and he has two granddaughters.
They are all married, and now they are the only ones living at home with a daughter-in-law.
After all, the family still has land, Huang Weng has skills, and his life is not bad, but compared with the bustling family in other people's homes, it seems very deserted.
Their daughter-in-law, the old couple now treats her as their daughter.
They are afraid that she will be alone after they leave, and they also want to find another home for her, but unfortunately it is not easy.
"Hey."
The two young men responded, each found a small mazaar and sat down in the hall.
They arrived late today, and the good seats on the fire bed had long been taken up.
Fortunately, the Xu family brothers were hardworking people, and the shop was equipped with a lot of large and small horses.
But even if they arrived early, they probably wouldn't be able to compete for the position on the kang.
Recently, more and more outsiders have come to the Xu family guest house to listen to Luo Yong's lectures.
Judging from the dress and demeanor of those people, they cannot be ordinary merchants and hawkers.
These people are staying in this guest house of the Xu family all day now.
They have been staying in this hall since breakfast this morning.
If people have money and leisure, they should sit on the kang.
People like them come here to listen to the music without spending any money.
For class, it would be nice to have a small mazaar.
"Let's memorize the multiplication formula twice before class."
When the time was almost up, Luo Yong spoke.
"Nine-nine-eighty-one."
Immediately, one of Luo Yong's disciples raised his head.
"Nine-nine eighty-one, seventy-two."
The others all followed suit consciously.
Regardless of whether they were sitting on a horse or a fire bed, in front of Mr.
Luo Yong, they all acted honestly and recited the multiplication formula.
Everyone opened their mouths and recited loudly.
Luo Yong was very impressed by the cooperative attitude of these people.
At this time, people showed great respect for those who taught them knowledge and cherished rare learning opportunities.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Yong is now The teaching is also very serious.
He has been teaching fractions and decimals recently, and some of them can't keep up, or think that it is of no use to learn these things, so they don't come here very much.
Anyway, Luo Sanlang also said that he will continue to teach them when winter comes next year.
When the basic class is opened again, those who have not learned it will not be too anxious.
Although Luo Sanlang is young, he always means what he says.
After reciting the nine-nine multiplication formula twice, there will be about an hour and a half of class time.
During this period, Luo Yong will first explain today's knowledge points to them, and then assign arithmetic problems to them, and repeat them through constant practice.
Digest this knowledge point until most people have learned it.
After this hour and a half, it was time for the students to practice and communicate freely.
Luo Yong was invited to communicate with them several times.

To be honest, the questions they asked made Luo Yong feel a little dizzy.
Fortunately, he had The more than ten years of study in the 21st century were finally not in vain, and I could barely hold on at the critical moment.
These people were all eager to learn and could not finish their research.
Luo Yong saw the opportunity and planned to leave.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give five cents to the two young people from Xiaohe Village: "You guys will wait until the buns come out later."
Go and buy it yourself, you two will eat two each, and Huang Weng will take the rest."
"We won't eat."
One of the young men held the five cents with a shy expression on his face.
"You're very polite.
It's such a long journey, so I can make it without a pillow."
Aunt Luo had just finished serving two plates of dumplings and happened to pass by them.
Just after Luo Yong finished his class, someone started to order food in the hall.
On this cold day, it was very nice to sit on the warm kang, eat delicious food, and discuss knowledge at the same time.
Comfortable.
"You two go to the back, and I will get you some hot soup."
Aunt Luo asked them to go to the back and drink some hot soup.
The couple now works in the Xu family guest house every day.
Many young people in Xiaohe Village often come here.
Delivery, I am also very familiar with them.
"Then I'll leave first."
Luo Yong greeted his sister.
"You go ahead."
Aunt Luo smiled.
Luo Yong carried the small basket of candies out of the Xu family's guest house, instead of entering the village, he went to the cement workshop.
On this cold day, the road is covered with icy debris, and there are piles of white snow on the hillsides and fields near the village.
The cold wind blowing in the face makes people's cheeks hurt, and the breath they breathe becomes dull.
Into clouds of white mist.
From time to time, you will encounter some men, women and children pushing carts on the road.
Since the cement road in Xipo Village was repaired, many more people have come here to transport cement than before.
Because the road surface is smooth, you don’t need to be very strong.
The labor force, as long as there are two or three women, children, old and weak, pushing the cart together, they will dare to come here to transport cement.
It often snows in winter, and the cement road covered with snow is not so easy to walk on.
However, it is still much better than the old dirt road.
Villagers on both sides of the road often come out to clear the snow.
It is said that they are afraid that the snow will damage the road.
It was so damaged that it was rare for someone to give money to help them buy cement to build roads.
Everyone cherished it very much.
Luo Yong carried a basket of candy and smiled and greeted people who knew him but did not know him.
Soon, he arrived at the big grass shed where the cement workshop was located.
This straw shed is very big and long.
Hundreds of workers are working in this shed, and it does not seem crowded.
Everyone is mixing mud, breaking bricks, and lighting fires.
They are very busy.
In full swing.
A row of pottery urns were burning at the back of the work shed, each one as big as a water tank.

At this time, white heat was rising from the big urns, and hot water was burning there, just to be able to burn it.
It can be mixed with mud even in this cold weather.
Luo Yong knew that only the innermost pottery vat was burning ginger water, which was specially used to keep the workers away from the cold.
At this time, he walked over, grabbed a few handfuls of caramel from the basket and sprinkled it into the large vat of ginger water. , then leaned down again and added a fire to the stove.
When Luo Yong came over just now, many people saw him in the cement workshop, but no one stopped what they were doing.
"Master, why are you here?"
At this time, one of Luo Yong's disciples came over.
There were many people buying cement these days, and their workshop was also very busy.
"I'm just here to take a look.
You can go about your business."
This is his own cement workshop.
He just came over to take a look, and he doesn't need anyone to greet him.
"I just collected a few loads of gypsum, and I'm going to make dinner later."
The disciple said while rubbing his hands.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Luo Yong asked him smoothly.
"I made a few lamb racks, chopped them and cooked them with radish, pickles and mixed flour pancakes."
The disciple replied.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Luo Yong also knew that the food in the cement workshop was mainly made by his disciples and some family members living in the sheepfold.
They didn't make much money, and there was a lot of work all day long. .
Not far from the front of the cement workshop, next to the roadside, a row of adobe houses have been built, with large fire pits built in each house.
The workers work here during the day, eat a big pot of rice, and sleep in Datongpu at night.
Although the conditions are not very good, they can at least have enough food during the day and don't have to freeze at night.
"Hey, it's not hard."
The disciple said cautiously.
"You drink a bowl of ginger soup first."
Luo Yong took a pottery bowl from the side, took a caramel from the basket and put it in, and then used a big spoon to pour a large spoonful of ginger soup from the pottery urn to him.
The disciple was holding a bowl of ginger soup with a happy expression on his face, and he did not forget to greet the others: "Come here and have a bowl of ginger soup.
My master even added caramel to it."
Some workers nearby had already pricked up their ears and were waiting.
Now after hearing his greeting, they all gathered around with smiles.
Luo Yong did not add any more caramel to them.
The ones he just sprinkled into the pottery jar were also This large vat of ginger soup is enough to bring out the sweetness, and this basket of caramel can be used for ten days and a half if the water flows slowly.
On this cold day, drinking one or two bowls of spicy and sweet ginger syrup every day will not only ward off the cold, but also add some calories.
The disciple just finished drinking a bowl of ginger soup, then put the unfinished caramel at the bottom of the bowl into his mouth and chewed it, making others look envious.
In these days, there are few men, women, and children who don’t like to eat sweets.
People at this time are generally lacking in nutrients.
Sweets are not only a spiritual yearning for everyone, but also a high-calorie food that the body also needs.
People here can barely afford to eat things like caramel, but they think it is precious and most of them are reluctant to eat it.
Sucrose is very rare.
It is not produced locally.
It is shipped from other places, and the price is also high.
Very.
Luo Yong guessed that the sugar cane at this time was not as sweet as later generations, and the sugar content was not as high.

Otherwise, with the current high price of sucrose, farmers in the south had no reason not to plant it vigorously.
Speaking of sucrose maltose, Luo Yong also knew of a kind of sugar that was extracted from beet processing, but it was a pity that his space did not have that kind of beet seeds.
Luo Yong only thought about sugar cane sugar and beet sugar, but he never thought that a few days later, someone would give him another kind of sugar.
The person who delivered the candy was Mr.
Yin in the village, the father of Aunt Yin who had the accident.
When his daughter had an accident, Luo Yong helped to find her.
Everyone worked together to find the girl.
In the blink of an eye, a whole day passed.
Years ago, Luo Yong had almost forgotten about this incident, but he didn't think that his family still thought about it.
In autumn, the couple of the Yin family dug up many Imperata cogongrass roots in the fields.
After scrubbing each root clean, they mashed them, soaked them in water to extract the sweet juice, and then simmered them over a low fire until they finally got the few.
Sugar, this sugar is called heart-washing sugar.
What the Yin family sent to Luo Yong this time was a small jar, and they didn't know how much Imperata root they had to pound to get it.
This heart-cleansing candy is the best at moistening dryness and dispelling heart-fire, and it has no cold properties.
It is very nourishing.
Luo Yong also cherishes this jar of candy.
Before going to bed every night, mix some sugar water and give it to the children at home to drink.
Even if the kang is hotter at night, they will not easily get angry. gd1806102:
