At the beginning of August, a batch of goods was sent from Changle County. The main products were white marigolds, raisins, grape pulp, cheese, and biogas lamp gauze.

The white folded flowers are for Er Niang, and her face towel workshop is about to open soon.The raisins, grape syrup, and cheese are all for the aunt, and my sister's grocery store needs them.The biogas lamp gauze is for Siniang, who can be cut into small pieces or processed into biogas lamps, and sold in North and South groceries.

Luo Yong's disciples who stayed in Changle County are still running some workshops, and Luo Yong also has a share of the output of these workshops.

At this moment, Luo used Chang'an City, and the two sides were far away, so they used this method to purchase materials from Longxi, and then organized a caravan to transport the goods to Chang'an City. It is relatively cheap, and it will be more valuable when transported to Chang'an City.

After these things were transported to Chang'an City, the aunt, second wife and fourth lady each took the share they needed, and then they had to give Luo Yong cash, and then Luo Yong would have money to spend.

When the caravan is going back to Lishi County, the Luo sisters will ask these people to help deliver some goods. The eldest mother is mainly ingredients such as orange pulp, the second mother is mainly dyes, and the fourth mother is going to work with the Changle county. The groceries between the north and the south are exchanged, and the types of goods transported are often more and more miscellaneous.

Ever since Luo Yong and others returned to Chang'an City, Xu Erlang and the others stopped nesting in Chang'an City.

Now there is a railway track between Chang'an and Luoyang, and the communication is very convenient. There is even news that the railway track will be repaired in the east of Luoyang.

Xu Erlang and the others had been preparing to open a branch in Luoyang early in the morning, and the preparations are almost complete now, and it is expected to open around the Double Ninth Festival.

Luo Yong had some money in his hands, so he naturally thought of giving Si Niang some household items, but Si Niang said, "Forget it, you can keep the flowers for yourself."

Luo Yong: ...that sounds like something is wrong.

Si Niang was eating at this time, and after she casually replied, it seemed a bit wrong after thinking about it, so she added:

"I heard that there are a lot of entertainment between officials, and it costs money to welcome and send them off. You can save the income for yourself. I have enough income from the shop here."

"From now on, it's all up to Si Niang to support her." Luo Yong joked.It's not good if you don't need it for your family. It's a good thing that many men can't even hope for.

Speaking of socializing, Yi Luoyong's current income is enough. Apart from a few workshops in Changle County, there are also many workshops in their hometown in Hedong, and they will send some money to Luoyong every once in a while. Come here.

The money Luo used was mainly invested in the machine workshop. When the machine workshop first opened, the aunt, second wife and fourth lady each contributed some money. After the money was paid out, they didn't care about it. Many disciples are in charge, but the real master is actually Luo Yong, and many people in Chang'an City know about it.

This Luo's machine workshop, called a workshop, is essentially a technical school, and Luo Yong has recently made some IQ test questions, trying to screen out some people with relatively high IQ, and intends to train them in the direction of researchers .

But at present, these people's basic foundation is still very poor. They either read characters or learn arithmetic every day, which is about the basic level.

There is also a ten-day exam every ten days in the Machine Workshop, and a monthly exam every month. If you do well in the exam, you will be rewarded. There are fewer rewards for the ten-day exam and more rewards for the monthly exam. After each monthly exam, there will be a shift. The competition is also quite fierce, and the pressure on Class A personnel is particularly high.

After the ten-day exam, there will be a ten-day break. Some people will choose to stay in the machine workshop to study, and some will go home.

Many of them would take the exam papers from this ten-day period home to show to their family members, and some neighbors gathered around to read them.

Although the daughters of these families were working in the workshops, they are now as good as that scholar. There are some strange ones, some envious ones, and some hot-eyed ones among the neighbors.

And the parents of these girls, except for those very few people, most of them still feel more honored and happy.

There was a neighbor who copied the test questions and took them back to do with his own son who was studying, but the result was that he couldn't solve many of the questions. He had to study for two or three years in vain, and he was not as good as a woman who had just entered the workshop for a few months. Some angry.

Speaking of which, the price of paper and pens in Chang'an City has come down in the past few years, and there are often so-called scholars who can read a few words and teach people to read and write. The level of these people is naturally not as good as the few Luo hired with high salaries. gentlemen.

Besides, most of these little boys are still very young, not very sensible, and they don't know how to cherish the opportunity to learn, and they don't have much pressure, which is very different from the situation of the girls in the machine workshop.

Even so, the ten-day exam papers of their Machine Workshop were gradually spread, and they began to gain some fame. Some private schools often copied their papers to test their own students, and some big families' ethnology, The same is true.

Since everyone likes this paper so much, Luo Yong later simply asked someone to print the paper generously and sell it at North and South Grocery. One paper costs one penny. If you buy ten pennies in one go, you can get three more copies. wholesale price.

The horizontal and vertical engravings have already been engraved, but it just costs more paper and ink, and I will hand it over to the children under Xing's second hand, and they will be printed soon, and they can still earn more wages.

The machine shop can also earn an extra income because of this, but it's not a lot of money, and it can probably add meat to everyone.

The consumption in Chang'an City is quite high, and vegetables, meat and food are not cheap. It is impossible to say that there is no pressure to support such a large number of hundreds of people.

It's funny to say that Luo Yong's county lord's mansion now also raises some chickens and geese.

Because Siniang was named a county head two years ago, she was not in vain as the county head. Apart from food, she usually has various benefits.

In this era, the imperial court distributed salaries to officials. In addition to money and silk, there were also some rice, noodles, grains, fish, meat, chicken, etc., and sometimes pepper and honey, which were relatively valuable items. Also depends on grade.

Apart from the officials, the imperial relatives and relatives of the princes and princesses also have to give them. As a small county head, Si Niang gets relatively little things, but it is better than nothing, and no one wants anything for nothing.

In the past, Si Niang and the others lived in the Bai family, and all their food and expenses were in the Bai family. It was useless to take these things, so they handed them over to the Bai family for food expenses.

Now that Si Niang and the others moved out, the Bai family naturally didn't want these things, so they sent their family members to say hello early in the morning, and asked them to send these things to the county lord's mansion later.

So it was like this, from time to time, Luo Yong would see an extra load of vegetables, a few big pieces of meat, a few cooing roosters and hens in his yard.

Last time, I sent a whole load of pickles over, and the brothers and sisters of the Luo family couldn't finish eating, so they asked Azhi Xianglan and the others to take a few pickles, and kept a few for themselves, and the rest of the sisters asked someone to When I went to the machine workshop, I finished eating in just one meal.

There are also roosters and hens that were brought in. If they didn't want to eat chicken for a while, they were raised in the yard first, and then they were raised. One hen hugged the nest and hatched a group of chicks.

Goro and the others set up a fence in a corner of the backyard, and kept the chickens and geese inside. Azhi and the others also opened a small vegetable bed under the wall next to them, throwing a few into the chicken pen from time to time. Vegetable leaves, watch them chasing and twittering for food.

The child of Hou Lin's family is now a little follower. Every evening, when Wu Lang and the others come back from Bai's house, he will be happy, calling his brothers and sisters in front of him.

But this kid is also a solid boy, not the cute and cute type, but Qiniang's temperament is also a bit perverted, if he doesn't see him as a child, he will let him go, can that little doll make trouble with Qiniang, in the end often He just dropped the golden beans while going back to find his aunt, crying so much, and then forgot about it the next day, sisters and sisters screamed happily.

If there were many children in the yard, it would be more lively. If Fei Er came, it would be even more lively. The two children cried and howled together, and they really wanted to blow off the roof.

Aunt Wulang and the others often brought Feier here, and Mai Qing also brought them here, and they also have their house in the courtyard. Sometimes if there is nothing to do in the shop in the south of the city, they often come here in the county lord's mansion. It is several days to live in Bian.

In the small courtyard over there, the aunt vacated two side rooms and let the two women in charge live in. It also meant to provide them with a convenient place to live, and it also meant to let them help look after the house.

There is a jujube tree in the yard on the side of the county lord's mansion. Recently, green fruits have grown on the tree. Then Hou Xiaolang has been waiting under the tree to eat the jujube all day long. Later, for some reason, even Feier started clamoring for the jujube tree. The fruit on it.

Lin Wulang was disturbed by her, so he climbed up the tree, and Si Niang and the others kept shouting to his brother-in-law under the tree to be more careful, when the aunt came out of the house when she heard the movement, and seeing this scene, she was immediately angry and angry. urgent.

"What are you going up the tree at this time? The dates are not yet ripe, come down quickly!" the aunt shouted from under the tree.

"Let me see if there are any jujubes that ripen early. My son has not eaten these green dates since he was born." Lin Wulang replied from the tree with a smile.

He grew up in the country since he was a child, and climbing trees is a basic skill. In the years when his aunt just passed away, he would go to the mountains to find some wild fruits every autumn, from the beginning of autumn until the beginning of winter.

The trees in that mountain are much taller than this jujube tree, and sometimes he is afraid of encountering poisonous snakes, but right now it is just a jujube tree planted in the yard, which is nothing to him.

Lin Wulang searched and searched on the tree, and finally he found a few early-ripening jujubes, carefully picked them off and put them in his arms, without even hurting the branches next to them.

When he got down from the tree, the aunt beat him several times with her fists, but Lin Wulang just accepted it, not angry at all.

Wash those few dates, carefully peel them, then use a small silver spoon to slowly scrape some date paste off, and feed it into Fei'er's mouth. The little boy ate the dates as he wished, and was so happy, he waved his arms and grinned. Teeth's small mouth giggled.

Hou Xiaolang also wanted to eat jujubes, so he squatted aside and watched. Lin Wulang saw him and gave him one.

This jujube is not a good thing, but it's not very common now, in another ten days and a half months, you can see people selling jujubes with burdens everywhere in Chang'an city, and the price is not expensive.

"Just let her get used to it, and you can do nothing about it when I see you in the future." The aunt saw her daughter eating jujubes happily, and most of her anger just now dissipated.

"You can't get used to it like this." Huang Xianglan on the side also said the same.

Hou Lin said all day long that she was spoiled by children, and compared to Lin Wulang, she was nothing.

"You're not afraid of being spoiled by her." The aunt said again and again.

"Don't be afraid, sister, when she is older, I will tell her to study in the machine shop, and ask brother to put her in Class A." Qiniang advised her elder sister on the side.
