The Luo brothers and sisters all went to bed. The Zheng family, who lived outside the yard, had not yet slept at this time. She lit a small brazier in the house, and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other on both sides of the brazier and weaved baskets.

At that time of summer harvest, the straw collected from the Luo family’s wheat fields were piled on the rocky beach behind the pigpen. When the mother and daughter were free, they often had to go there to pick some straws and weave a basket.

Earlier, Luo Yong had planted some stone bamboos on the rock beach there. However, the stone bamboos grew slowly, and now they were still so sparse and died better.

Shizhuzi is not easy to plant. But as long as they are allowed to till the followers, they will not be afraid of anything afterwards. They will not be afraid of no matter how cold it is in winter or drought it is in summer.

The covered basket they made was useful. When customers in the city came to buy frozen dumplings and date bean cakes, they often bought them one basket after another.

So Zheng often made some cover baskets and sent them over. The aunt also said she wanted to calculate some wages with her, but Zheng refused to ask for it. She had already obtained a wage from Luo Sanlang. How dare she ask for a second one?

"My grandma, can you ask someone to bring some food to the city tomorrow?" Zheng's eldest daughter sorted out the straw on the kang, and asked her mother.

Luo Sanlang probably knew that they often had to bring some food to the city. Tonight, the cement workshop cooked braised food, and then cooked it for them and their daughter. They were not willing to eat it themselves, and most of them stayed. The food they usually eat is often soupy and not easy to carry, but this braised food is the best.

"I'll go to the intersection tomorrow morning to take a look." Zheng said.

"But you want to buy some oil residue buns to take back? I see that the Xu family's restaurant also sells buns in the morning, and the villagers who come to the city will buy them for food." Her eldest daughter asked again.

"That was to make more of it the night before, and then steam it in the next day, and then it can be sold." Zheng said.

"Do we want to buy it?" She has eaten a lot of oil dumplings recently. Sometimes Luo Sanlang and the others don't make dinner, so the whole family eats that, and the mother and daughter also eat that.

She remembered that my mother brought them the oil dumpling buns, and the ones at home were all very delicious, and she kept talking about them for a long time.

"If you have nothing to do, what should I buy that thing?" Zheng said, "You are old now, so you should think more about your own affairs in the future. What's the problem with those who eat more and less."

"..." As soon as the girl mentioned this, the girl stopped talking. Grandma Yu had also asked her for a few of hers before, but in the end she didn't say that either they looked down on others or they looked down on them. Her family background was just like this, and she really had much choice.

"You can make do with it this winter. When spring begins next year, I will cut a new dress with you." In order for her daughter to find a good marriage, Zheng also plans to spend some money to dress up with her.

"If you have nothing to do, you will buy those things." The girl looked a little bit interested: "Is it because that dress can be looked up to by others?"

"Why do you accept your fate so young?" Zheng sighed.

"..." Her daughter stopped talking. If there were any choices, who would not choose a stable and decent family to marry? But with their family's situation, what good people could look down on them?

"My grandma, when Boss Wang and the others come back, I will go to Liangzhou City with them at that time?" After a while, the girl suddenly said again.

"What are you doing there? You can't knit sweaters." Zheng was surprised. She had thought her daughter was too obedient. At this time, she heard that she was going to Liangzhou City, but she was very reluctant. If something happened so far away, she would be hard for her to know here.

"I heard that Na Luo Erniang was making tofu there. If they were willing to ask for it, I would go and help them make tofu." My grandmother was right. She was still so young now that she shouldn't have accepted her fate so early. It's good or bad, and she should always make a profit.

"..." This time, Zheng stopped talking. She had earned some indecent money and food to support the family. Although it was a helpless act, the reputation of the family was ruined.

It is very rare for Luo Sanlang to not bother them and ask them to live next to this yard and earn a few meals a day to make some money.

Now she wants to use the popularity of this place to find a good marriage for her daughter, but she is a little too greedy. Her daughter is so old that she lives outside this yard. She always looks up with Na Luo Sanro, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.

But that Liangzhou City...

If she really asked her to go to such a far place, would she still meet in this life?

A few days passed, and in the morning of that day, Luo finished brushing his teeth with the ditch that had just squatted in front of his yard, when he saw Zheng walking towards him, as if he had something to say.

Nowadays, there are laundry sinks and ditchs in the Luo family yard. However, Luo Yong is still used to squatting outside his yard every morning to brush his teeth, taking in a breath of fresh air outside, and then letting the cool breeze blow twice, and he will feel refreshed.

Zheng originally wanted to tell Luo Yong about her daughter's intention to go to Liangzhou City, but she didn't know how to speak. She worked with their Luo family and did nothing great. She took a lot of money and ate a bite of food, and she wanted to cause so many troubles to the owner.

"But is something?" Luo Yong was also a little puzzled. Zheng has always been a person who works more and speaks less. He speaks neatly on weekdays. What's the point? Why are hesitating so much today?

Then Zheng thought about it and told Luo Yong about her daughter.

After hearing her words, Luo Yong did not agree immediately. Aunt Yin, who had passed by before, was in the same situation. Now, the eldest daughter of Zheng's family is in the same situation. Luo Yong was worried that arranging two such people to Luo Erniang at the same time would have any hindrance to their reputation in Liangzhou City.

"I didn't know for a moment that she wanted someone else. I think your eldest daughter is old, so why don't you ask her to help in the Xu family's house first? If Er Niang and the others want someone in the future, she will be able to get started immediately after she goes to Liangzhou City." In fact, Luo Yong still wanted to arrange her to go somewhere else, but there is no need to say more to Zheng at this moment.

If he wants to start a chain store, it is definitely not just the one in Kailiangzhou City. Since the eldest daughter of Zheng wants to leave Lishi County, she will be arranged to do work elsewhere in the future. Young people like her who are diligent in their work and willing to travel far can also be cultivated for their chain stores.

She had obtained a good job for her daughter for nothing. Zheng was both happy and ashamed. She didn't ask about wages or anything. In her opinion, even if she didn't have wages, it would be fine. As long as Aunt Luo could pull her a little, her daughter would not have to worry about her future life.

She had thought about it before and was only interested in finding a good marriage for these girls in her family, but she never thought that if she could get a good job, even as a woman, even if she was a woman, even if she was a little gossiped about her mother, it would be better than marrying into a family that looked down on them and living a life all day long.

Zheng's eldest daughter went to the Xu family's house and was like Lin Ersao and others. She washed vegetables, cut meat, chopped fillings, rolled dumplings and skins every day. She was busy and tired all day, but she felt much more comfortable than before.

Luo Yong also told Aunt Luo about this. If they plan to open a food shop elsewhere in the future, it would not be very suitable for those who are taking care of their families like Lin Ersao and others. If Zheng's eldest daughter can be cultivated, she can see. In this case, Luo Yong can also help them get out of the dilemma step by step. In terms of loyalty, they should be higher than the people they recruited later.

Aunt Luo also knew that Luo Yong planned to open a food shop elsewhere. If nothing unexpected happens, the next shop should be in Chang'an City.

Aunt Luo wanted to run this shop in Chang'an City by herself, but she was somewhat expectant and nervous. She had never been to Xipo Village several times in her life, and was not sure whether she could really run a good food shop in a big city like Chang'an City.

"The principal of opening a shop in Chang'an City is really not low. If you can't do so many transactions every day, you may even lose money." Luo Yong said to her: "Since you have to do so many transactions, you naturally need more personnel to help. Why don't you find a few suitable helpers early from now on?"

"In your opinion, can I run such a shop?" Aunt Luo had never been to Chang'an City and had no idea about such a big city. Luo Yong had been there twice, so he asked for his opinion at this time.

"In my opinion, if my sister doesn't go to Chang'an City for a while, she will be a bit in awesome." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"I'm so talented?" Aunt Luo laughed. But after hearing Luo Yong say this, she felt much more at ease. Since Sanlang said this, he would not be wrong.

In fact, Luo Yong had no intention of letting them open a shop outside and making a living by himself. He planned to be similar to that of Liangzhou City in Chang'an City. He first found a big tree to lean on, and set up a small store next to someone else's house to sell it first. Whether it can be managed independently in the future will be discussed in the future.

If you want to talk about Chang'an City, the Ma family is doing well, but it is winter this year, and the Ma brothers have not come back from the south. I think they are still busy with the Chameng rice.

Speaking of which, this person was really careless. Luo Yong was just thinking about why the Ma brothers hadn't come back yet, but the two of them came back from the south in a carriage. The day before yesterday, they just arrived in Lishi County and the next day they brought Luo Yong a large sack of rice, saying that they exchanged the seeds of Chameng rice with local farmers this autumn.

The rice planting in Chameng is easy to grow and the yield is relatively high, but the taste is indeed not as good as some rice in the south. If it weren't for filling the stomach, you would definitely have to eat these delicious rice.

"There are better things behind it. The ox cart is slow to arrive. It will take a few days to arrive. You can eat these rice samurailang first." The boy Ma Feiyang has been tanned a lot this year and has lost weight. He looks very energetic.

"It's good that people come, what else can I send." Luo Yong was in a good mood when he thought that he could eat delicious white rice immediately.

"Why do you need to see the outside world?" Ma Silang said, "Thanks to Sanlang's Chameng rice seeds, my Ma family can gain a foothold in the Shannan area."

Luo Yong heard it, yes, it’s OK, it’s only a year since it’s been gaining a foothold. You should know that in this era, many people in many places are particularly xenophobic, especially in those places that were called the Southern Barbarians by people at that time. However, in Shannan Road, it shouldn’t be too southern.

The Ma brothers did not stay in Xipo Village for much this day. After all, they just returned from the south, so the elders in the family must also want to talk to them more. They still have to report to their family for this year to operate in the south.

After the two brothers left, Luo Yong's brains became active. One reason was about the food shop, and the other reason was the promotion of goose-free products.

Luo Yong has purchased gooseberry a lot in the past few months, and there are many people in the backyard. Now it’s almost time to take action. It just so happens that it’s winter again. If you miss this season, you’ll have to wait another year.

However, if the goose velvet is only processed into goose velvet pillows, it is still difficult to promote it. Without supporting facilities, it will not be a system. If you want to engage in individual combat, just relying on this goose velvet pillow, the combat power is still a little weak.

Luo Yong thought about it and invited a few craftsmen who were good at carpenter workshops to come over. He also made a room in his backyard. He roughly said his own request and asked them to make some furniture for this room.

Such a work is not difficult for these craftsmen from Chang'an City. They used to do this a lot in Chang'an City, not to mention that Luo Yong required a relatively simple style and did not pay attention to meticulous craftsmanship. The team work together and the work should be done soon.

Luo Yong asked them to work in a few empty houses next to him, and then he called a few disciples to come over. He first built a kang in the house, and then made some soil and cement to apply the walls and the ground.

On the other hand, Luo Yong organized a few female relatives from his disciples' families and asked them to make mattresses and large quilts with white silk cloth and gooseberry, two bedding clothes, several gooseberry pillows and seat cushions.

In this era, people did not call quilts, but quilts. The poor used cloth quilts, and the rich used brocade quilts, but few used plain silk cloth to make quilts.

The bedding thing was originally called a quilt, about half a body long, and later it was called a small quilt, and the big quilt was a quilt.

After the house was renovated, Luo Yong carried all the down products in, with several large quilts and large sleeping mats, the covers of the paving, and the wooden couch were placed everywhere.

Luo Yong's custom-made wooden couch this time is equipped with a backrest. There is also a thick layer of gooseberry cushions on the couch. The four corners are tied to the wooden couch with silk cloth straps. They are fixed well and will not be easily displaced. The backrest and handrails are also fixed with white and fat gooseberry cushions. At first glance, it looks like a snow-white and soft sofa. When a person sits on it, he puts two gooseberry cushions around him. They are soft everywhere, just like sitting on clouds.

There were three wooden couches like this, which were placed around a tea table. In addition to the tea set, the tea table also prepared some ingredients for making tea according to the habit of people cooking tea.

When all this was ready, Luo Yong asked someone to take the call to the county town and invite the Ma brothers to visit their homes.

It just so happened that the Ma brothers were a little impatient at home these days, and they had already given almost all the instructions. They were born in front of their mother-in-law for a few days.

The others were fine. Their uncle seemed to be afraid that the two brothers would make a fortune. The old man turned his heart to them and had to make some trouble all day long. It was really impatient. At this time, he heard that Luo Sanlang invited them to visit Xipo Village, and without thinking, the two drove the carriage.

Luo Yong first invited them to have a meal at the Xu family's guest house, and then invited them to sit in the room he had just decorated.

As soon as the two of these brothers entered the room, they felt very novel. Although people at that time also pursued simple elegance, it was really rare that they could use plain silk to make quilts.

"Please take care of yourself, you two." Luo Yongzhi sat down on a sofa and asked him to sit down.

The Ma brothers each found a sofa to sit down as they said. At first, they were a little uncomfortable. They always felt soft and didn't focus. Seeing Luo Sanlang relaxing and sitting on it seemed to be very relaxed, they slowly adjusted their bodies to relax. After getting used to it, they became very comfortable.

When people were sitting down, they wanted to take off their shoes and sit on them, so at this time they threw their shoes and sat on the sofa, which was not rude.

"Sanlang is really a good person. He can even think of such a comfortable way to sit on a wooden bed for nothing." Ma Silang praised this as the tea smoke curled up.

"Silang mischievously." The sofa was not something Luo Yong thought of himself, and he didn't dare to take credit.

"It's just that the color is really too simple." Ma Feiyang said. He was shocked when he entered the room just now. The Luo family has already passed the mourning period, so why is there white silk everywhere in the room?

"The common people naturally accept plain colors." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"Tsk." Ma Feiyang retorted: "I have used all the silk cloth, are you still missing the amount of money for dyeing?"

"I didn't buy this silk cloth myself," said Luo Yong.

"..." Ma Feiyang thought about it, too. Didn't Luo Sanlang get a lot of silk cloth from the emperor before? When he thought about it, he felt that the fabric under him seemed to be a little softer.

"Sanlang invited me and the other two to come today, just for this room?" Ma Silang asked Luo Yong.

"What do Silang think?" Luo Yong asked him.

"Does Sanlang want to run a guesthouse?" Ma Silang thought that Luo Yong wanted to open a guesthouse and wanted to borrow their Ma family's connections.

"It is not easy to run a guest house." Luo Yong said: "I used to cooperate with Zhao's family in Shuozhou to set up a snack shop in his guest house. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"I have heard of this." Before they returned to Lishi County, they had heard about this. After they came back these days, they had seen Zhao Chen in the county. All his canned foods were still in Lishi County and they had not been transported away.

"I wonder if your Ma family is willing to run another guest house in Chang'an City?" Luo Yong said bluntly.

If the Ma family has this intention, it is naturally the best. Luo Yong is still closer to them after all. If the Ma family does not have this intention, Luo Yong may have to consider the Guo family in Taiyuan this time. He heard that their family secretly operated many guest houses.
