Zhao Qi said that Luo Erniang was ruthless in spending money.
This was not completely unreasonable.
Even if ordinary people had money and relatively reliable sources of information, they still had to be cautious when investing.
Especially in the seventh century AD, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was a western city on the other side of Liangzhou City.
House prices and land prices were not high.
Locals basically had fields and houses that they should have, and outsiders were here.
There are not many real estate buyers here, and everyone is not very optimistic about investment in this area.
It was in this environment that Luo Erniang was able to purchase many properties in Liangzhou City at relatively low prices.
At this time, Liangzhou City is not very big in total.
Basically, in the past half year, she has looked at all the houses and properties in the city that she wants to change hands, and bought those that she thought were suitable.
The remaining ones were either priced too high. , or there are other issues.
When those people from Chang'an rushed to Liangzhou and wanted to buy a property here, they couldn't find a few decent ones.
After asking, they found out that in recent times, the city's Most of the good properties were bought by the Li Shi Luo Erniang.
For a while, some people speculated why Li Shiluo Sanlang had to travel thousands of miles from Li Shi County to build a road to Liangzhou City.
Could it be just for this?
"You are too underestimating Luo Sanlang."
On this day, several people were discussing this matter in a restaurant in Liangzhou.
The owner of the restaurant said disapprovingly: "If he wants to make money, Of course there are ways, so why go through all the trouble.”
There are also rumors in Liangzhou City that there is also a sister's restaurant in Chang'an City, and the business is very prosperous.
Dozens of tons of brine are sold every day for just a dime.
Many dignitaries order brine from them, and they often order brine from them.
The order is dozens or even hundreds of kilograms, and the family and servants have to carry it with burdens when they go to pick it up.
What kind of characters are the Luo family siblings?
If they really want to make money, why would they use such stupid methods as building a road thousands of miles away.
In Chang'an City, Aunt Luo also heard about this not long after.
She said that Er Niang spent a lot of money in Liangzhou City and bought Liangzhou City in front of those who planned to buy property in Liangzhou City.
Most of the properties are vacant.
Many people are talking about how boldly Luo Erniang spends money, looking at An Jingjing, a young lady, who spends a lot of money without blinking an eye.
The aunt heard it a bit funny.
She also knew that Er Niang was indeed bold.
You looked at her as if she was a bit weak.
She killed chickens and geese without even blinking an eye.
At this point, the aunt was worse. she.
Moreover, the second mother had told her that she did not want to get married.
In the past, the eldest mother thought her words were too childish.
How could a young lady not marry when she is old?
Now that she thinks about it, it is just because she does not want to marry.
It's just a dare to think, but Er Niang is a dare to think, and she should also dare to do it, especially with Luo Yong's support behind her.
"Auntie, do you think this minced meat is ready?"
On this side, a woman put down the mallet in her hand, picked up the sweat towel hanging around her neck and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and asked the auntie.
Aunt Luo walked over, reached out and picked up some minced meat, twisted it with two fingers, and said, "It still needs another quarter of an hour."
"Hey."
When the woman heard this, she waved the mallet and continued beating.
This woman was just introduced by Yalang a few days ago.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Aunt Luo, except for Xu Dalang's eldest son who was the first to bring him from Lishi, all of her employees here are women, some are older and some are young.

Yes, we have hired many new employees during this period, more than ten in total.
With so many people working, and the fact that they had started making and selling tofu earlier, this stall took up a lot of space, so Aunt Luo rented a small one in Chonghua Fang, not far from Guangde Fang.
In the yard, the place where workers work was moved to this side.
There is a well in this yard.
The house is not very new, but the yard is spacious enough and the rent is relatively reasonable.
From here to Guangdefang, you only need to walk a short street.
"This load is worth two hundred skewers."
There was a young woman in the corridor who was putting on skewers.
The second mother saw that two buckets had been put on beside her, covered with clean linen cloth, so she asked her.
"One hundred and eighty strings."
The woman raised her head and responded, her hands moving continuously.
"I got it."
Aunt Luo nodded and said, "I'll take it to the shop first, and you should hurry up.
You need to get all these things to the shop before the curfew."
This burden of one hundred and eighty braised skewers is not light.
Not everyone can do this job of threading braised skewers.
Aunt Luo had other women do it before, but either her hands were not right or she always felt sorry for her and wanted to have fewer skewers.
She is well-intentioned, but she does not agree with the aunt.
The woman she hired recently is quite good.
She has accurate hands and is quick at work.
Moreover, she knows exactly how many braised skewers she has made in each bucket.
Aunt Luo basically doesn't look after the store anymore.
The main task of selling goods is left to the young couple of the Xu family, and two more people are hired to help them.
Although she trusts the Xu family, the aunt has to know how much she takes every day.
She has also developed the habit of keeping accounts.
Although she can't understand many words in the stumbling words, in this city of Chang'an, she needs to find someone.
It’s always easy to ask questions.
When the aunt stayed in the shop all day, some literate ladies would often come to their shop to buy food.
If the aunt asked them these questions, the ladies would be happy to teach them. she.
"Auntie, what you are carrying are braised skewers."
Aunt Luo had just walked near the West Market and was stopped before she reached Guangdefang.
"Why don't you go to the store to buy it?"
Aunt Luo said with a smile.
"If you encounter it, you can sell me a few strings."
The woman smiled.
Her family ran a cloth workshop here in the West Market.
Business was good at this time in the afternoon, but she couldn't leave.
At this time, she saw Aunt Luo passing by carrying a load, so she stopped her.
"How many do you want?"
Aunt Luo carried the load to the door of her cloth workshop.
"I want three."
The woman asked her husband to continue greeting the customers in the store while she ran out to buy braised skewers.
"Auntie is here, auntie, please bring me two braised skewers."
Someone shouted from the shop nearby.
"Hey, I'll buy some too."

"Get me five."
"I want three." "" When Aunt Luo took up the burden again and went to Guangdefang, most of the braised skewers in the two wooden barrels had been sold, and she had more than a hundred copper coins on her body.
After deducting the costs, this money is enough to pay one employee a month's wages.
She can earn this money just by walking once a day.
After a month, she will still have more after paying the completion wages to all the employees.
So she has been making this trip almost every afternoon recently.
People in these shops may not have thought about eating braised skewers in the morning. , they can't reach it here, so every time they see Mrs.
Luo walking by here carrying a load, someone will ask her to buy braised skewers.
Aunt Luo walked briskly on the streets of Chang'an City with copper coins in her arms and a load on her shoulders.
I heard people said that Luo Erniang had set up a cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, and also heard that she bought a lot of real estate in Liangzhou City.
Aunt Luo was actually a little envious, knowing that she was living a smooth life and could often learn from others.
When I heard the news about her there, I felt very happy.
I wonder if Luo Erniang plans to focus on running a cashmere workshop in the future, but for Luo Auntie, this sister's restaurant is her only career.
From the very beginning, when Luo Yong asked her to work in the Xu family guest house, her wheel of destiny began to turn.
This restaurant was her destiny, and she loved this destiny very much and regarded it as her own.
The final destination.
Luo Yong was not partial.
He gave Luo Erniang a huge sum of money and even built a road to Liangzhou City.
He also gave the aunt and sister a restaurant and many food recipes that she had never heard of before.
The aunt still remembers that day, when Saburo solemnly handed a small book into her hands, her eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
He said that these recipes can be slowly pondered and tested, or you can deal with them by yourself.
The situation in Chang'an City is complex and ever-changing, and your own safety must be the top priority in everything.
Money and food are things outside the body, and they should be given up when they are needed.
When night falls, the women who help the workers move all the things that have been prepared in the yard over there to the shop.
Some of them live close to home, some are going home, and some live far away, or they will be there tomorrow morning.
Those who had to get up to work lived in the courtyard of Chonghuafang.
The busiest hours at Sister's Restaurant are in the afternoon and evening.
In the afternoon, the two young men of the Xu family are mainly responsible.
In the evening, the aunt and the eldest daughter of the Zheng family will usually come to help, unless they have other requests.
I have to be busy with other things, such as suddenly receiving a big order and having to work overtime in the yard over there.
"Let's go to my sister's restaurant."
"You've been going here for half a month and you're not tired of it yet."
"You don't know that my sister's restaurant is going to launch another fresh food.
Today is the first day.
There is a discount.
Buy two and get one free."
"How much money are you still short of?"
"Don't wait any longer.
Hurry up.
You'll be late and there will be a long queue."
As a result, when these young people slowly walked over, they saw that the queue was already very long.
Several people ran to the window to take a look, and saw that there were no other changes behind the counter, except that a large open pottery cauldron was added, where strings of meatballs were cooked, some of which were slightly darker in color. , some of the meatballs are slightly lighter in color, the soup in which the meatballs are cooked looks clear and translucent, but the aroma wafting out is very delicious.
"What is cooked in this pottery cauldron?"
A young man asked Xu Xiaolang in the store.
Xu Xiaolang turned around and saw that he was a regular customer, so he told him: "The whiter ones are fish balls, and the darker ones are mutton balls.

They taste springy, crispy and delicious."
"What do you use to make this soup?"
the man asked again.
"It's just cooked with fish bones and mutton bones."
There's nothing that can't be said about this.
A customer just asked about it, and Aunt Luo said it herself.
"How much is a bunch?"
Another burst of fragrance wafted out, and the round balls were rolling in the clear hot soup.
The young man outside the window couldn't help but swallowed.
"Two pennies, today four pennies can buy three strings, but tomorrow there will be none."
Xu Xiaolang's little wife also spoke at this time.
This girl followed them all the way to Chang'an City when she first married into the Xu family.
She was a newbie here.
There is still a bit of restraint, but after doing business with the aunt and others for more than half a year, I have basically let go.
"Give me three skewers."
The young man said immediately.
"Hey!"
The people at the back of the team who had been listening to them with open ears stopped.
They knew that these guys were dishonest, so they pretended to be casually looking at them, and then they wanted to jump in the queue.
"Don't blame me, everyone.
My friend got excited and forgot about it.
Don't blame me."
His friends quickly pulled people to the back of the team.
They didn't want to put their reputations into it just for this bite of food.
That’s fine.
These people were lining up when they saw a few people crawling in from the square wall not far away from them, patting the dirt behind them and queuing up to the back of the line as if nothing had happened.
By the way, these people are working hard for a bite to eat.
Although it is not a sensitive period right now, even if they are caught by Zhi Jinwu patrolling the streets outside, it will not be as serious as losing their lives, but a slap in the face is definitely inevitable. of.
The young people didn't look sideways, pretending they didn't see it.
Then the next day they heard that several students from the Shu School were fined to carry water from the college cafeteria for a month because they climbed over the wall without permission.
It's hard to say that Tianwang Huihui is sparse, but the meatballs from Xujia Guesthouse are so delicious, crispy, elastic, and delicious.
The more you chew them, the more delicious they become.
However, it was these fish and meatballs that were elastic and crispy, and became more and more delicious the more you chewed them, which almost dragged Aunt Luo into a dangerous incident.
The reason was that the incident of these students climbing over the wall to buy meatballs was made public in the court.
It was said that the merchants in Chang'an City were becoming more and more unruly, and they did not know what means they used to induce the students to commit crimes.
Night ban.
It happened that the emperor was not in a good mood that day, and he was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.
He retorted the official on the spot without waiting for others to say anything: "If not, Aiqing will go to Sister's Restaurant to discuss with Aunt Na Luo.
He doesn’t want to make the food so delicious.”
The official was stunned by the emperor and his face was red.
Many people in the court laughed, and then someone said loudly: "What's the crime with delicious food?"
"I have eaten the food from Sister's Restaurant a few times, and it tastes quite good.
If you want to say that Madam Naluo has bad character and seduces those students to violate the night ban, that is absolutely impossible."
A man with a beard and hair said The old minister, who was completely white, said this.
"The food she cooks is delicious, what does it have to do with her character?"

The person over there still wanted to struggle.
"Hey, this is ridiculous."
The old man squinted his eyes and said slowly: "As the saying goes, the character of Tao is like the character of the person.
For a person who cooks, the quality of the food she makes can be seen as a measure of his moral character."
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Just because the food she makes is delicious, then she must be a good person.
"I think this statement is quite reasonable."
But at this time, someone stood up to speak against him.
"It makes sense."
Many ministers nearby reconsidered.
"How can a person who can cook food like that be a bad person?"
Everyone said with certainty.
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous."
That guy was almost jumping up and down.
What kind of ruined court is this?
These people can't be reasonable.
"It's so ridiculous.
You can't understand the truth at all.
It's really stupid."
A military attache with a general's belly laughed loudly.
Even the generals like them would laugh to death for being a civil servant with such little IQ.
In their army, those who are truly skilled in martial arts are usually not too bad in character.
Among those who are obsessed with evil thoughts all day long, there are only a few who can calm down and practice martial arts diligently.
Besides, this guy wanted to grab the sister's restaurant just because a few students climbed over the wall.
Such a despicable method made most of the people in the court dislike him, so they just deliberately used words to make him angry.
"Those students should really be disciplined strictly."
After the farce, someone finally mentioned the students who climbed over the wall without permission.
This matter does not need to be put on the line anymore, just discipline and discipline.
If the matter really gets bigger, the future of those young people will be in doubt.
These things in the court were no secret.
Within a few days, the news spread in Chang'an City, and then those students who made mistakes were fined an additional month in addition to carrying water. bathroom.
When the neighbors in Guangdefang saw Aunt Luo these days, they wanted to joke with her: "Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious, I don't believe you are a bad person."
Aunt Luo was both funny and lucky.
Fortunately, someone was willing to say some fair words to her.
The court in the Tang Dynasty was not so indifferent to right and wrong.
If not, she still didn’t know where she would end up.
A realm.
Aunt Luo is also very grateful to those who speak for her, but with her current meager strength, she cannot do anything for those people.
The only thing she can do is probably try to eat well.
Just eat some.
After this incident, Aunt Luo became more dedicated in treating food.
Maybe those ministers just said a few jokes in the court, but Aunt Luo believed that even if it was just some ordinary food, as long as it was taken seriously, as long as it was When cooked carefully, food can also have its own virtues.
Ever since Aunt Luo began to have such thoughts, Sister's Restaurant seemed to have its own spirit all of a sudden, like an ignorant child who finally learned to hold up his chest.
"Tasting food is virtue."
This sentence seems a bit funny and unreliable, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Behind the simple word "delicious", what it contains is a serious and meticulous spirit, as well as the persistence to the end.
Persistence, treating the food under one's hands as one treats one's own virtue, is not an easy thing to do. gd1806102:
