A few days later, Xipo Village seemed to be getting busier and busier. The heavy snow in winter stopped and the yards of many people in Xipo Village were filled with steaming heat.

Those who have learned to make tofu, who make tofu and sell tofu every day are so busy that they can't help but take all their children as child laborers. Most of them have not learned to make tofu and sell tofu everywhere, and few of them sit at home.

There are people coming and going every day at the entrance of the village, including people from the village, people from outside, villagers from nearby come to buy tofu, and many peddlers from other places.

The Luo family's yard was idle and stopped making tofu. Someone went to his house to buy tofu, so he pointed to the village and asked them to go to the village to buy it.

Luo Sanlang built a straw shed next to his far door, placed a table and two shelves inside, and pasted a piece of paper outside the yard with four big words written on it: "North and South Groceries".

The children from the village came to watch the fun. A doll pointed to the big words on it and asked him: "What is it written on it?"

"North and South Groceries." Luo Yong said proudly. He was quite satisfied with the big words he wrote, and he didn't know how much paper was wasted to write it like this. Fortunately, when he was practicing, he used the homework books of elementary school students in the space, otherwise Er Niang and the others would not feel sorry for seeing the paper consumed.

"Then what are you selling here?" The children leaned into the straw shed. In addition to the two courtyard walls and two straw curtains, there were two wooden shelves beside the walls. There were a few things on the shelves, which were neither rich nor neat. There was a long table in front of the window. Luo Yong sat behind the table at this time.

"There are fermented bean curd and bean dregs." Luo used to consume so much bean dregs left after making tofu before, so he planned to sell some, but the requirements were not high. As long as he could sell it at the price of fine brans.

"Just these two things, you dare to call me a grocery in the north and south?" These children laughed at him and spoke too much.

"You think I'm going to sell things from the south and north to call them north and south?" Luo Yong's face was too tender.

"Isn't it?" asked the children.

"No." Luo Sanlang sat behind the table and said to the children outside the window: "I consider that both the southerners and the northerners have to come to me to buy goods in the future, so it is called the northern and southern groceries."

"..." The children were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter immediately: "Hahaha! Bragging!"

When the children in the village come together to brag, they usually say that in the future I will raise as many cows, buy as many acres of land, build a larger house, and have a better mature ripening, and may even say that I want to marry someone as my wife.

This is the first time I heard a bragging method like Luo Sanlang. Otherwise, scholars are different, bragging is more creative than they brag.

Luo Sanlang just smiled and said nothing. Let’s laugh, while you’re laughing enough now, and wait for you to cry.

Sure enough, just as these children were smiling happily, a strange fragrance suddenly came from the yard, with a strong fragrance. When they smelled it, they knew it must be very sweet and delicious, as if they had the smell of dates. There were other things that they couldn't tell. They had never eaten such a thing before, and they had never smelled it.

"Dun'er, what food is your family cooking?" Someone asked Luo Wulang among the children. Wulang was weaker than other children as soon as he was born, so Luo's father gave him such a nickname, hoping that he could grow strong and strong.

"Brown sugar cake is so delicious." Goro was also swallowing his saliva at this time. Their family made this cake yesterday. There were brown sugar and eggs, and a lot of date paste. It tasted sweet, but yesterday it was made less and he only ate one piece. My brother said that when the cake was made today, he would cut a large piece for him, and he often had to make it at home in the future.

"Do you sell this cake?" Sniffing the scent from the house, the children were almost greedy, and the sounds of swallowing saliva came one after another.

"Two liters of corn are exchanged for a piece of cake." Luo Yong was waiting for them here.

The next development of things was indeed as Luo Sanlang expected. These children went home to cry to their parents. They couldn't cry. How could they get a cake if they didn't cry?

That's two liters of corn, not two liters of beans. These two pounds of rice are cooked into porridge, which is enough for the whole family to eat, and they actually said they want to exchange it for cakes?

“…”

"Ahhhh! I'm going to eat it, I'm going to eat the brown sugar cake from Saburo and the others!"

"Go again! Look at me slap you to death."

"I just want to eat the cake! Ahhhhh! I just want to eat! I just want to eat..."

"It actually costs two liters of rice, how big is that cake?"

"Suck! Don't know."

"If you don't know anything, you run back and make trouble with me!"

"Suck! Ah my mother, that cake is so fragrant! Suck! Ah my mother, I want to eat the cake! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

“…”

The next period of time, their village was very lively, just like the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. After the sound of this family, the other ones were ringing again. Sometimes several families were still ringing together. Fortunately, the Luo family's yard was far away and it was not very easy to hear it.

At this time, Luo Wulang was squatting at the gate of the yard and gnawing cakes. While gnawing, he looked at the dirt road entering the village not far from his door. Now people walk around this road every day. In Luo Wulang's opinion, it was already very lively.

"Wangwu..." A little puppy with a soft and blue-gray fur was next to him, constantly using his little paws to pluck Raro Goro's sleeves. He stood up and stretched his neck to approach the cake.

"You've eaten it just now." Luo Wulang bit the cake in his hand with a little bit, reluctant to give it to him.

"Woo..." The puppy looked at him with big wet eyes, humming and wagging his tail at him.

"Okay, I'll give you a little more." Goro is a good boy with a soft heart.

"Wang!" As a result, just after feeding this one, the other came up again, one paw put on his knees, and the other paw greeted the cake.

"Doulier, you are not under my control. I have told you how many times." Wuro stretched out his arm, took the cake high, and then twisted his neck and shouted into the yard: "Sister! Si Niang!" As a result, he shouted for a long time but no one answered.

"Luo Siniang!" The clay man is still very angry. Although this puppy named Dou Lier is under Luo Siniang's control, he always asks Luo Wulang for food. Luo Siniang doesn't care, and turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it.

"If you don't come, I'll tell my brother." Luo Wulang shouted again.

"Brother is so busy, you are still causing trouble." Luo Siniang finally came out.

"Then I'll tell my sister." Goro said angrily.

"Sister is not idle either." Even though she said that, she finally bent down and picked up the yellow-haired puppy on the ground. The puppy was plucking her, obviously trying to find some cake to eat, but there was no cake left, and there was not even a little bit of it left.

"Mai Qing, you are the most obedient." Goro reached out and touched the puppy beside him.

"Wang!" Mai Qing said, then let's have another bite of the cake!

These two puppies have been brought to the Luo family for a few days. They are both strong dogs. The blue-gray one is slightly larger. Luo Yong named it Mai Qing, and the slightly smaller beige one is called Dou Lier.

When these two puppies first arrived, Siniang and Goro were so happy that Luo Yong simply spoke and asked them to take charge of a puppie respectively.

As for the money to buy a dog, the hunter who keeps a dog happened to marry his daughter recently, so he didn't want money or food, so he asked Luo Yong to put two cans of fermented bean curd for him, intending to add it to his daughter's dowry.

After hearing this, Luo Yong picked two slightly larger pots of pottery in his yard, filled two full cans of fermented bean curd, and someone took them over. He heard from the villagers who went to the village to sell tofu that the hunter was quite happy to have these two cans of fermented bean curd.

Speaking of which, the hunter is not a loss. A can of fermented bean curd from the Luo family costs five cents. These two cans of fermented bean curd are worth dozens of kilograms of corn. Luo Yong also specially picked two larger pots for him.

The villagers generally don’t want to eat fermented bean curd that costs five cents a can. In the past few days, Luo used the fermented bean curd sold in the village, and there were only four cans. One of them was said to have been given as a gift to others.

There are some foods in the county town. Anyone who can drive ox carts to Xipo Village will generally not be too stingy. But speaking of this, in their county, there are still few families who can have horse carts at home, and most of them are ox carts. The ox carts are slow, so it takes a long time to go back and forth, so the servants of the family are usually sent here.

When Luo Wulang squatted outside the yard and finished gnawing a piece of cake, someone in the village brought the children to their side with food.

After all, I have made some money recently, two liters of rice will be two liters of rice. If I don’t produce these two liters of rice today, my family may not be able to calm down.

"Brother, here we are here, they are here." As soon as Luo Wulang saw the person, he immediately got up and ran to the yard. The little puppy also followed behind with short legs. It was very cold and there was a lot of hot air in his mouth.

"Come?" Luo Yong was putting a few stone pottery bowls in his hand on the table. At this time, there were already many stone pottery bowls on the table in the straw hut, and a piece of brown sugar cake was placed in each stone pottery bowl.

I looked out of the yard and saw more than a group of people coming from the dirt road not far away.

Sure enough, if you lay a good market foundation, it will be much easier to make money. Instead of getting oil from the poor, it is better to pull a few grass from the rich. As for whether he Luoyong is the most glorious and richest in this village, what's the point? Anyway, he just wants to raise these children in his family better now.

"Increase the fire and let the fragrance float out." Luo Yong turned around and shouted to the children inside the room.
