North and South groceries

When Luo Yong first planned for Changle County, he planned to develop it into a tea distribution base.

Unexpectedly, the stalls have grown bigger and bigger in the past two years. Although the transaction volume of tea in Changle County is very large, the economic development of the entire Changle County does not depend on this transaction.

If you want to say which industry the people of Changle rely on the most now, it must be Baijihua, and then tea trading, cashmere workshops and so on.

Recently, because of the opening of Nanbei grocery, this small county seems to have a tendency to develop into a tourist city again.

Before the restaurants on the second floor opened, the ladies who came from Chang'an City looked at the small town of Changle County, which was much smaller than Chang'an City. They are very worried about a workshop in the local area, worried that the local population is sparsely populated and consumption capacity is limited, and business will not be easy to do.

As a result, in the past few days since it was opened, the business has been booming every day. The orange juice and other things brought from Chang'an City were originally expected to take more than half a year. The stock is about to run out, or I have to write a letter to Chang'an City as soon as possible, and let them arrange to send another batch of goods over there.

On the wooden track outside the city, there are cars coming and going every day, from Changle County to Dunhuang, Jinchang, Jiuquan and other places, and some even come from Gaochang and Yiwu.In addition, there are also many Hu people in Changle County. There are Hu merchants passing by, as well as various Hu people who have settled in the local area, and even a group of Kunlun people live here.

Originally in Chang'an City, everyone was in charge of them teaching Kunlun slaves. Later, the leader of the Kunlun people sent sweet potato seeds to the Central Plains people. By the way, everyone has been used to being called Kunlun slaves these years, and many people can't change it for a while, or they are too lazy to change it.

But here in Changle County, if anyone dares to say a word about Kunlun slaves, those Kunlun people will be anxious with you. Don't think they don't understand, because they speak Chinese well.

Those Kunlun people are lazy and hardworking. This time, before the opening of the food shops in the north and south groceries upstairs, some women were found from the local area to work, and there were two Kunlun people among them.

The two Kunlun women are strong, strong, and have a good temper. They work very well. After some time of observation, the other restaurants are also a little bit excited, and they plan to find one or two. Kunlun people came to work.

As for the women in Ajie's Food Shop, in addition to running the branch on the second floor of Nanbei Grocery, they also started to search for resources from Changle County and surrounding areas.

Since Mrs. Luo went to Jiangnan to develop the market, sisters' food shops have added several new foods and flavors, from various fruits in the south of the Yangtze River to fish balls and seafood in the coastal area.

There is no other food shop in Chang'an City that can serve as many kinds of food as they do, with such a large supply, and at such affordable prices.

The subsequent branches also actively searched for all kinds of food from the local area. This time, the managers who came to Changle County also set their sights on Gaochang's grapes and Yiwu's melons early in the morning.

Then Yiwu's melons can wait a little longer, but Gaochang's grapes can't wait for anyone. This year's grapes are about to ripen. Xiang Luoyong proposed to go to Gaochang to harvest grapes and make pulp.

Luo Yong sent an officer to escort them to Gaochang, and told him to greet the officers and officials familiar with the local area after he got there, so as not to let them be bullied.

Luo Erniang heard about this, and arranged for a woman in charge from the cashmere workshop to go with her. Over the years, Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop had contacts with many companies in Gaochang. There are many acquaintances on the side, and it is convenient to do things.

The stewards sent by Mrs. Luo this time from Chang'an City are all women, not a single man.

Regarding this matter, my aunt also wrote to Luo Yong earlier. She said that all the managers in the shop are women, and it is inconvenient to go out. In the past two years, more and more branches have been opened, and many have been born. problem.

Originally, she planned to recruit some men to work, but many women in charge were very opposed to this.As a man, there are always so many conveniences in this world. They are worried that they will be compared and shown to be insufficient. In the end, they will be blocked by men, and they will not even be able to keep the job.

After some consideration, Mrs. Luo finally decided to obey the wishes of these women in charge. She wrote to Luo Yong in her letter:

"... There are some very good men who come to me looking for a job, but after thinking about it, I finally gave up. In this world, there are always more places for men to go, but few places for women. In the future, I will This elder sister’s restaurant has decided to use women, so let’s be biased.”

Luo Yong wrote back to her and said: "It is not necessary to be absolutely fair in everything, and it is human nature to be biased occasionally. No matter what my sister does, I will always be biased towards my sister."

Aunt Luo laughed when she saw this reply, read it back and forth several times, and even couldn't help showing it to a few close stewards: "Look how good my Saburo is at talking."

Although the aunt is Luo Yong's elder sister, she has increasingly regarded Luo Yong as a real head of the family over the years. Sometimes, she also subconsciously wants to seek Luo Yong's approval, worrying about being disliked by him.

But Luo Yong always made her feel at ease. He would bluntly point out the occasional omissions of the aunt, and would also express some of his own opinions on her business. He would never hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, and would say, you are my aunt. Sister, I am always partial to you, so to speak.

The aunt gave birth to a baby girl this summer. It was a big fat baby with a small face, which made Lin Wulang very happy. Every day when she went to the street to buy vegetables, she grinned, and everyone praised that Dr. Sun was really good. The medical skills are really high.

Everyone laughed and said that Miracle Doctor Sun's medical skills are naturally high, but it's a pity that not everyone can seek personal consultation from a Miracle Doctor, especially the problem of the woman's pregnancy. I just gave it to the aunt to recuperate.

"You two are really lucky."

"Yes Yes."

"Auntie's milk is good, but is it enough?"

"..."

"Why are you ashamed of me? How many dolls have I nursed? It's the first time for you two to be mothers, and there is no adult in the family..."

"Hou Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law has often come over these two days, and she even brought an experienced woman here."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

"Hey."

"My baby is alright, can you laugh these two days?"

"Laughing and giggling, those two legs are very powerful when kicking."

"Hahahaha!"

"Your aunt has a good physique and eats carefully, so the baby will naturally grow strong."

"What food did you buy today?"

"I bought some cabbage, my aunt likes to eat cabbage these two days."

"Don't eat too much with her, cabbage is cold."

"Oh, I know."

"Look at my good corn, do you want to buy some back? Corn porridge is the best way to nourish people. A woman is well nourished during her confinement, and she doesn't like to get sick all her life."

"How do you sell this corn?"

"..."

When Lin Wulang goes to the streets these days, he just carries big and small bags home, always thinking that there are two people in the family, one big and one small, to support.

In fact, how much can the aunt and his newborn daughter eat and use? The things in the house are getting more and more hoarded, and most of them are cheaper in the end. Tell her to take back what she needs.

Hou Xiaoshu and his wife have not been married for two years, and they already have a son. Although Hou Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law comes from a high family background, her father is not well-known. The son and daughter gave birth to a group, and the son is better. What to do.

Some of them are well married and have more contacts with their natal families. For those like Hou Xiaoshu’s daughter-in-law, it’s over if they marry hastily, and the dowry is not very decent, let alone any support after marriage. .

The couple of them also had some contacts with Aunt Luo. The daughter-in-law of Hou Xiaoshu was named Huang Xianglan, and the aunt called her Xianglan. The two often sat together and talked about themselves.

Xianglan said that when she had a big belly earlier, life was not easy, and Hou Lin was squeezed out at Guozixue. In order to support his family, he endured all kinds of anger. She went to ask her father for help, but his father said that he He couldn't help, and couldn't say a few words, so he said he had something to do and sent himself home.

To put it bluntly, it's not because he is afraid of offending his colleagues, he is not good at being a man. He is the only father-in-law, and he can't even speak a few words of justice for his own son-in-law. Family background, don't embarrass him.

When Si Niang heard about it, she told Bai Yimao about it. A gentleman from the Bai family came forward, met a doctor of Guozixue, and brought it up to him.

I thought it would be fine, but it didn't work.

In the end, how could this matter be possible? It is because a gentleman of the Gu family has read the book of Guozixue everyone in the court, and said that the atmosphere in Guozixue is so bad now, Dr. Teaching assistants don't think about teaching and educating people, and they crowd out this one and step down that one all day long. With such virtues, what can students learn from them?

The sage ordered Yousi to investigate this matter, and after this investigation, it was indeed true. It stands to reason that most of the people who can work in Guozixue are educated people, but those who are educated people do things that are not as good as they are. Quite shameful.

If these things are brought up to the court, people will be ashamed to death, it will really tarnish the image, and the career prospects will naturally be affected.

The sage fought on the battlefield in his early years and was quite martial. He was very displeased with these dark and dirty sieges. Several high-ranking officials in the court also believed that the ethos of Guozixue should be rectified, so in just a few days, the original officials of Guozixue were dismissed. The dismissal, the transfer of the transfer, and soon there was a big change.

Hou Lin didn't leave. After this incident, his situation in Guozixue was a bit awkward, but no matter what, life was much better than before.

Hearing that Luo Yong is coming back soon, everyone knows that Hou Lin and Luo Yong are close and lived in the same yard before, so at this time some people started to flatter them.

Xianglan said to the auntie, it's fine with others, her father is like this, two days ago, his mother specially asked his mother to send some good fabrics, it's ridiculous.

Her mother said that the fabric was her own, so how could she not know about her own family affairs? The Huang family had many concubines in the back house, and if they had any good things, they gave them to the one who was most favored at that time. It's been years, and there are some things in my hand that are like lifelines, but after all these years, there are not many valuable things left.

Those few bolts of cloth are all new cloth, the materials and patterns are excellent, it is not brought by her father, or brought by the head of the family, it is definitely not his mother's own savings.

Xianglan and the aunt brought one over, and said: "Don't think it's not a good place, Bu Zong is still a good cloth."

"I don't think it's anything. Don't think about it all day. If you are really annoyed, go to my shop and pound a bowl of meatballs to vent your anger. Don't waste your energy for nothing." The aunt joked with her. road.

"You're pretty accurate." Xianglan said with a smile.

"Small business, how can you not be meticulous?" The aunt leaned on the head of the kang, picked up a grape from a small bowl next to it, and ate it.

At this time, the weather has not yet entered autumn, but some early-ripening grapes have come down, but the grapes in Chang'an City are already very expensive, let alone the grapes at this time.

Today she told Wu Lang that she wanted to eat grapes, and Wu Lang went out and bought a bunch of grapes with her, only willing to give her three or five grapes at a time.

It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to give the aunt such expensive grapes, it's because the aunt is still in confinement at this time, and Goro only eats hot food and soup with her every day, and doesn't touch anything cold. After some time, she will be confinement, and she may not be able to eat grapes at this time.

The aunt here called Wulang again, and told him to wash and bring over all the grapes she bought today. She only had these two grapes here, which were not enough for guests.

Sure enough, Wulang washed the grapes and brought them up: "When you are a guest, you are a guest. Don't be greedy and eat too much."

"I don't eat it, I give it to Pandan." The aunt said with a smile.

Having said that, in the end, the aunt still couldn't resist her greed and ate a few more.

In fact, it doesn't matter. Ordinary women don't pay much attention to confinement. These grapes are not cold things. Besides, my aunt is about to confine herself.

Speaking of grapes, the grapes in Gaochang area are much cheaper, but the climate here is cooler than Chang'an City, and spring comes later, and the grapes are not yet on the market at this time.

The officer from Changle County escorted the three ladies in charge of the sister's restaurant and the cashmere workshop all the way to Gaochang City.

Unexpectedly, that day, Guo Duhu just came back from outside the city. After he heard the news, he asked someone to invite the servant and the three ladies in charge to the mansion, and ordered the chef to set up a table of wine and vegetables to entertain them. After talking to the three stewards, he said that if you encounter any difficulties in this Gaochang city in the future, just come to find yourself. He and Luo Yong are familiar with each other, and they are both members of their own family.

Guo Duhu probably also knew that he gave away the golden horse earlier, so he looked for an opportunity at this time and quickly gave Luo Yong another favor.

The author has something to say:

The Gu family still remembers that one of the students responsible for the development of biogas digester mesh was named Gu. This person didn’t have many roles, and he only played once before. I know you must not remember, so remind me haha.
