162. bluff [repair]
On this day, after spinning cashmere for a whole day, several women took their own meals and left the yard where Erniang and the others lived.
Working with Luo Erniang, I can manage two meals a day, one meal in the morning and one meal before work in the evening. In the afternoon, most women have to take it home to eat, mainly to improve the food for their families.
"It's time to come back earlier today." A woman returned to her yard. An old woman stuck her head out to look at her and said to her.
"It seemed like it was raining, and Ernie asked us to come back early." The woman said, then she took the food in her hand into the room, then went to the kitchen to take a look, and quickly made a few bowls of clear soup and poorly watered corn porridge, then held a basket of mixed bread and came up with a plate of dried meat.
This jerky came from the depths of the grassland. The people there slaughtered the animals and couldn't finish them at home. There was no place to sell meat, so they had to process them into jerky. Such jerky is very common in Liangzhou City. Especially now that cashmere is expensive, the method of making soap has spread on the grassland. There are much more jerky coming out of the grassland than in previous years.
This kind of jerky is not expensive, sometimes even cheaper than fresh meat, and it is hungry for eating it. So many locals buy it. Some people live frugally, and they don’t even buy fresh meat a few times a year. Living in such a place where meat is cheaper than food, but they can’t eat fresh meat a few times a year. This is a bit incredible.
At this time, in this family, there was a scent of stewed meat. It was the mutton stewed by Luo Erniang and the others. In addition to onions and ginger, there were also some spices and even a lot of tofu.
There may be some aristocratic families in Chang'an City, but it is too rare in Liangzhou City. This family has heard people talk about how delicious the tofu in Lishi County is, but it is true that it is after the wife of the family went to work at Luo Erniang and the others.
"My grandma, before they come back, you should eat some while it's hot." The woman brought the bowls and chopsticks to the old woman.
"I'm not hungry, let's eat together when they come back." The old woman took the bowl and chopsticks, placed it on the table beside her, and asked her wife again: "What's going on before?"
The woman knew that she was asking about the cashmere stole before, and sighed and said, "What else can I do? I don't know who it is, I took so much. Now Luo Erniang is annoyed them. Not to mention learning how to spin cashmere thread, even if she wants to go back and pick cashmere, she will not be able to do it."
"They just suffer themselves." The old woman said, "Don't interact with those people again on weekdays, so as not to annoy you."
"That probably won't."
"You have to be careful. This time, they did this unreasonable thing."
"I know."
"It's rare to find a good job, so you have to do a good job. Don't learn those uneasy..."
The old lady was talking about teaching her daughter-in-law, for fear that she would turn around and get involved with the outsiders.
She is old now and is not confused yet. The two or three fox spirits come to her daughter-in-law all day to say something good, not just to go back to work at Luo Erniang. It would be fine if she really wanted to do a good job. These people obviously used to spin cashmere thread skills, steal other people's things and want to learn crafts from others. They are really easy to bully people from other places.
It’s better for her wife, and Ansheng is safe. She didn’t misunderstand the person back then. After marrying into their family, she has suffered so many years and has never heard her complain for half a word. It seems that she is less than forty, but she looks like she is over fifty years old.
This time, she worked at Luo Erniang, and took care of two meals a day. She had to get this meal back in the evening, so she could eat a few more bites at noon. It didn't take long, and she looked more energetic than before.
"Now Luo Erniang is really a kind and righteous person. She is like this. She is unwilling to go out and ruin the reputation of those people. If you just keep working with her with peace of mind, she will definitely not treat you badly."
"Those who don't know if they are going to calm down, are they afraid that others will not know what they are doing or what. Next time you see them, you will talk about them. If you continue to make trouble, everyone will know... Forget it, don't say it anymore. When you see those people, avoid them. Don't have any more involvement with them..."
After a while, the woman's man and two sons also came back from outside.
Her two sons, one is thirteen and one is sixteen, and they have no regular businessmen. They spend all day with them, Aye, looking for work around the city, moving goods and other things for the merchants, and sometimes they go out to be porters with others.
"Come here to have a meal quickly. Your mother came back early today, and the dishes were almost cold."
When the old lady saw that her son and grandson had all returned, she hurriedly greeted them for dinner. Her two thin palms pushed the bowl of mutton stewed tofu that was still a bit enthusiastic.
"My grandma, eat this cake. This cake is fine and easy to swallow." The wife took a piece of mixed bread she had just received from Erniang and the others for the old man.
Although they also have mixed breads at home, most of the cakes are beans and some wheat bran mixed with them. After eating too much, they still bloated and screamed. The cakes that Luo Erniang and the others gave were mostly made of flour, so they were naturally incomparable.
The family was having a meal, and the woman saw that her man did not take out two or three copper coins from her arms as she smiled yesterday, and then she knew that they had not found any good work today.
I didn’t eat anything at noon, so I drank a bowl of porridge made with dried noodles in the morning, and it has been until now.
Before she found this job, she went out with her husband and children every day, knowing how tiring the work of moving goods for others is. It's okay if she is tired, but she's afraid that sometimes she can't get tired. If she doesn't find work for several days in a row, the family may be out of stock.
When she didn't go out with them, the woman stayed at home with her mother-in-law, guarding the dilapidated courtyard, waiting for her husband and sons to come back from outside with anticipation. When it was windy and snowing, she was even more worried, but she couldn't help herself.
Although she can't help much now, she was very happy as long as she could bring back such a hot bowl of food every night.
"What's going on with you now?" When the meal was almost done, her man asked.
"Not bad, that's it." Judging from Na Luo Erniang's attitude, she didn't seem to intend to continue pursuing it.
"I was at the city gate this morning and heard a teenage boy chatting with those porters, saying that he was a disciple of Luo Sanlang of Xipo Village, and that Luo Sanlang's sister came here and planned to open a food shop here." His man said.
"Amn, do you think Luo Erniang is the sister of Luo Sanlang?" asked one of her sons.
"This..." the woman couldn't answer for a moment.
If Luo Erniang is not the elder sister of Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village, how could she make tofu and knit sweaters? If she is the elder sister of Luo Sanlang, she would feel a little incredible. A person like a god-like figure, his sister is actually by his side and lives in their alley?
"When we just came back, we heard a lot of people talking about Luo Sanlang's sister living in our alley. I think this matter is not wrong. A Diao and the others are causing big trouble this time." The woman's husband said.
"This, how can this be..." The woman still couldn't understand why Luo Erniang, who was regarded as an ordinary rich lady these days, suddenly became the sister of Luo Coffin Board.
In this Liangzhou city, no one knows Luo Sanlang. It is thanks to Luo Sanlang that their cashmere trading and soap trading have flourished in the past two years.
The people of Liangzhou also called Luo Sanlang the coffin Baner, but there was no bad intention. In the eyes of everyone, Luo Sanlang was not afraid of the powerful and had great powers, and only the cool name of the coffin Baner was worthy of his extraordinary tall image.
If it was as rumored outside, Luo Erniang was the sister of the coffin board, then this matter would not be good.
In the eyes of everyone, Luo Sanlang was not only not afraid of the powerful and powerful, but also had the attribute of the God of Wealth. Where does people in this place want Luo Sanlang to be able to have a Luo Sanlang in their hometown? Who doesn’t want Luo Sanlang to come to their hometown to stay? As a result, A Diao and the others were so good that they even stole Sister Luo Sanlang.
Nowadays, those who are still jumping around outside without knowing how to live or die, but they don’t know that once this matter is spread, the entire Liangzhou City may no longer have their place.
The boy who was chatting with people at the gate of the city was right in this family. It was Tian Chonghu, and the reason why Tian Chonghu did this was naturally Luo Erniang's instruction.
In fact, when he first came to Liangzhou City, Tian Chonghu thought that the identity of their group should be promoted, which would be beneficial to the future food shop business. However, Luo Erniang always felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, and did not want to cause any trouble in vain, so she did not let him do that.
Now that this happened, she realized how useful Luo used the reputation and people he had accumulated before. Since it was easy to use, why didn't she use it?
