North and South groceries

Si Niang and the others said they wanted to sell the white rice for money, and after two days, they sold them all to the Xu's guest house. There are so many gentlemen living in the Xu's guest house, and those people have strong spending power.

Luo Yong doesn't care, just sell it, he can still eat noodles if he doesn't eat white rice, as long as the children in the family are willing, they can eat whatever Luo Yong eats.

Now the important responsibility of the Luo family has returned to Si Niang. Luo Yong only needs to do the laundry. As for the bookstore, he can just go and clean it when he has nothing to do. people.

Recently, the Luo family is busy making bean paste. They have to prepare dozens of catties every day. After soaking the harvested soybeans, they mash them with a mallet, and then pick out the skin of the soybeans.

It takes a lot of time and energy to pick the tens of catties of soybeans every day. The children in the family sit in the yard and pick the skins of soybeans when they have time. De Luo's coffin boarder has to check in his heart whether he has done too much, causing these little dolls to worry too much about the financial situation of the family.

But this kind of thing, sometimes you have to bear it, let them worry about it, it's better than raising them one by one as second generation ancestors.

These little adults look like little adults. The more Luo Yong looks at them, the more rare they become. He obviously has cameras and smartphones in his space, but he can’t take them out to take pictures as souvenirs. It’s a great pity in the world.

The Luo family is making bean paste every day, and the time will soon be the summer harvest.

During the summer harvest this year, many villagers in Xipo Village used a threshing machine. Not the whole village used one, but they had a threshing machine at home.

In the past, when Luo Yong and the others first made Yan'erfei, the villagers didn't have much savings on hand, and everyone felt that Yan'erfei was novel but not very practical. It's very different.

Don't look at the people in this village who sell tofu, weave and knit sweaters. They don't seem to earn a lot, but they spend less. As long as they have a little money, they basically save it. The thing came out, such a practical agricultural machine, Luo Sanlang also gave a profit to the people in his village, many people gritted their teeth, and took out their savings from home to buy one. With this threshing machine, the wheat was collected It can save a lot of effort.

When the wheat is harvested this year, the corn in the field has produced corn buds one by one. The villagers know that Luo Sanlang brothers and sisters love to eat tender corn cobs. Recently, many people have come to Luo The tender corn on the cob is here from the yard.

The brothers and sisters of the Luo family have a pot of tender corn cobs every day, and when they have nothing to do, they just take one and gnaw on it. It's a bit of a stretch, Liulang Qiniang's two white hemp and short browns that were just made last year are now a bit shorter this year, so I don't care if they are short, it should be shorter, all the children in the village wear them like this.

The Luo family is now out of the filial piety period, so it stands to reason that they don't need to wear white linen clothes anymore.

However, in this era, ordinary farmers can't afford to wear good fabrics, and most of them are not willing to spend money to dye the fabrics, so they basically wear white linen clothes. , referring to the common people.

In addition, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, there was also a saying of color clothing, but basically it was a grade for the color of official uniforms. Although it was also said that ordinary people were only allowed to wear white, obviously not many people took this seriously. Many merchants and peasants also wore dyed clothes, and no one was convicted of this.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the folk customs at this time were somewhat sturdy. Besides, there were many rebels in the country a few years ago, and there are still strong enemies on the border at this time. Those in power still hope that the society will be more stable. As for the color this time Things, anyway, that's what I said, if you don't wear it, don't wear it, anyway, as long as nothing big happens, just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

In a small village like Xipo Village, everyone used to wear white linen clothes. At most, people like the Lin family could have a few colored clothes. A person can have a dark blue robe.

In the past two years, in their village, people wearing ocher and blue clothes have gradually increased. It is said that when the colors of the clothes increase, their village looks more energetic than before.

However, Luo Yong thinks that the white linen clothes are actually pretty good. If they are left in later generations, such pure natural and handmade fabrics will not be cheap to buy, especially if they are soaked with plant ash and lime powder, these linen clothes It will become very white and clean, and the little dolls in their family look good when they wear them.

Let's talk about the tender corn cobs, which are only delicious when they are tender. After they grow older, they will not be so soft and sweet in the mouth.

The villagers have been eagerly waiting to harvest the corn recently. When the corn is collected and dried, it is returned to Saburo, and the rest of the seeds are their own. If these corn seeds are carried to the county to exchange for money, they will have How much will I get back?

"Sanlang, can you help me see what is written in this letter?" At noon that day, after lunch time, Lin Wulang came to Luo's yard with a piece of letter paper.

"Bring it to me." Luo Yong knew that it was his elder sister who had written a letter and came back, because the Bai family's uncle and nephew had been staying in the Xu's inn, and their Bai family had a channel at the inn, so Aunt Luo and Xipo It is convenient to contact the village, and I have to write a letter every once in a while.

Luo Yong opened the letter paper and looked at it. His elder sister's writing is much better than before. She should be studying in Chang'an City, and she didn't spend all her time and energy on writing. The business makes money.

Luo Yong is very pleased with this point. In his opinion, Mrs. Luo is still very young now, and there are still many possibilities in the future. I don’t ask her to have any literary talents, at least she should know how to read.

"...The summer in Chang'an City is really hot. At night, many people go to the streets to enjoy the cool air, and the shops on the street hang lanterns..."

Aunt Luo and the couple didn't say anything nasty in their letters, it was just these miscellaneous trivial matters of life. What Aunt Luo talked about the most was what she had seen and heard in Chang'an City.

After reading a letter, Luo Yong raised his head to see that his sister Fulin Goro was still grinning cheerfully.

"It's gone." Luo Yong said to him.

"Hey, I'm bothering Saburo again." The couple's letters were too embarrassing for others to read, so he asked Luo Yong to read them for him every time.

"Why does my brother-in-law need to be so out of touch?" Luo Yong said with a smile.

The two couples are different. Every time Mrs. Luo wrote to him, she mostly talked about business matters, or told him about some family matters, but it was seldom like the letters to Lin Wulang. Talk to him about what you have seen and heard in Chang'an City.

Lin Wulang received the letter from Mrs. Luo today, and he was in a very good mood. After listening to it, he folded the letter paper carefully, put it in his arms, and then went back to Xu's guest house.

The black Apu is very good. After studying with Lin Wulang for so long in Xu's guest house, he can basically get started now. He can handle it no matter whether it is cooking in the kitchen or greeting guests in the front hall. , so Lin Goro can come out at this time to take a short errand.

In the afternoon, Luo Yong went to Xu's guest house to give math lessons to others. He went to the back kitchen to take a look, and saw Lin Wulang sitting in their small kitchen with a pen and paper, picking out words one by one. It seemed that he planned to Write back to Aunt Luo.

But at his level, if there is no help from others, it will be difficult to read letters in the next year, let alone write letters by himself.

"Apu, do you know how Tao Zi's character is written?" No, just started, and after writing a few words crookedly, I ran into a roadblock.

Luo Yong leaned over to take a look, and saw that it said

"The letter has been received, Ye Niang is fine, and I am fine too." This sentence is a must-write every time, and if I write it again this time, it will be more familiar.

"Chang'an City is hot in summer." This sentence is from the letter from the aunt, and I probably copied it.

"You, don't want it, you are greedy for cold." From here on, I started stuttering.

"I heard that Sanlang said that there are many () children in Chang'an, and you can also buy them to eat..." Tao couldn't write, so there was nothing left.

"Tsk, sour." Luo Sanlang smacked his lips, turned around and went back to the hall to stay.

He doesn't want to stay here and teach his brother-in-law to write love letters. Yes, they are love letters. Although the content is quite normal, for people who are in love, every letter is a love letter, and every word is full of smugness. The sour smell of love.
