191. Germination

In winter, the threshing machine workshop has not stopped work. The craftsmen work hard every day and build one threshing machine after another. At this time, it is snowing everywhere and it is not easy to send it out. By the beginning of next spring, they should be able to send out all the remaining threshing machines. Since then, they have sent all the local villages on Hedong Road.

By then, Luo Yong would plan to put the road construction on the agenda. They now have too many things to do, and they really can't find so many people to do this.

After the New Year, Wang Dang's pedestrian finally came back. Those who came with them were also those of the Zhao family who came to transport canned food.

During this period, Zhao Chen was worried about the canned pears in Lishi County, and stayed in the warehouse they rented for so many days, and finally waited for his own team to transport canned food.

On the day Zhao Chen and his party left, Luo Yong also went to the county town to deliver it, and also sent some gooseberry products for them to take back. In addition, they also asked them to help bring some cans of gooseberry and the other two big gooseberry and the others.

As for bedding, Luo Yong didn't prepare it for them. Erniang and the others were sitting in Liangzhou City, hoping to be so busy that they didn't touch the ground every day. There was no time to sit on the kang so leisurely and enjoy life. At night, they would just sleep with the pillow.

"Why did you come back for so long this time?" When he returned to the village, it was dusk. Luo Yong saw that the king was having food in the Xu family's guest house, so he also went in and sat down.

"Hey, don't mention it. I heard that there is a lot of cashmere on the grassland after the winter begins. Many grassland people don't like to go to the city to sell cashmere. Many vendors go to the grassland to collect cashmere. The price is lower than in the city. We went there too, but we took the wrong path and almost couldn't come back." After Wang Dang said this, he picked up his bowl and drank a big mouthful of dumpling soup, as if he was still feeling scared.

"Why are you lost when you are so good?" Xu Dalang's wife came up with a large plate of braised lamb, and she also said after hearing this.

"You don't know that on the prairie, it's not considered a prairie. There are stones and sand everywhere, and there are not a few grasses. Look, the front and back are similar. As you walk, you turn around and don't know where it is." said a brother of Wang Dang.

"Are you okay?" Xu Dalang's wife asked.

"It's nothing. There are two guys who are weak in their bodies and can't stand it. Now, they haven't come back this time and stay in Liangzhou City for cultivation." Wang Dang replied.

"It's good that people are fine." Many people present said so.

"It's okay, what can I do?" Wang Dang said and called Apu again: "Apu, let us have two plates of dumplings."

"Oh." Ah, the black man, responded and hurried to the kitchen again.

"Sanlang, come on, don't sit there anymore. Take the chopsticks and eat with us." Wang Danghuluo Yong ate together.

"I've earned a lot this time?" Luo Yong joked. He was not polite, so he asked a child from the Xu family for a pair of dishes and chopsticks, so he sat down next to him and went to Lishi County. He was really hungry now.

"I have made some money. This time, we brothers are really scared. We must not dare to make such a rash next time..."

"I won't talk about the past, hey, eat vegetables."

“…”

These people arrived in Xipo Village last night. At that time, many people fell asleep after returning home, and they slept until noon today before getting up to clean up. Now everyone will come out to have a meal together, and it will be lively.

Luo Yong had dinner with them, and asked about Erniang and others from time to time about the recent situation. These people said that Erniang was very good and had a reputation as Russell-hearted, which was very popular in Liangzhou City.

·

Erniang and the others are indeed pretty good. A few days ago, the Zhao family guest house opened, and their sister's food shop also opened. The business in the food shop is pretty good, but it is a bit different from what Erniang originally thought.

In Liangzhou, except for a few local wealthy merchants, the caravans that come and go, the consumption capacity is strongest. It can be said that the economy of most Liangzhou City is driven by the caravans from the past.

However, in the early Tang Dynasty, the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the business in the west was not so developed. In the past two years, due to the rise of industries such as cashmere and soap, many merchants from the Central Plains came to them to buy goods, and the situation was relatively better. In the past two years, Liangzhou City was a little more desolate than it is now.

At present, this level of commercial activity is not enough to make the local people prosperous. After Erniang and the others opened a food shop, they clearly felt that except for some local merchants and past caravans, most of the residents in the city had very limited consumption capacity.

Erniang and the others spread out their food, and many children on this street went straight to this place, but there were very few families who were willing to pay for some money to eat for their children.

So even if the sister's food shop is doing well, one food shop plus another tofu shop is enough for Luo Erniang to be busy all day long, but she always feels a little disappointed.

I remember when I was in Xipo Village, Sanlang first taught the people in the village to make tofu. After every household earned some money, he launched the things like jujube bean cake.

At that time, she remembered that although the villagers in the village still felt sorry for their money, they would be willing to buy some for their children to satisfy their cravings, and some bought them back to respect the elderly. At that time, they did not have a special egg beater at home and they even beat them with chopsticks. Every time they made date bean cakes, they were very hard to do, but no matter how hard they worked, they were always happy, unlike now.

But Luo Erniang cannot teach people to make tofu like Luo Yong. Not to mention what will happen if this craft is spread on a large scale, just talk about such a big Liangzhou city, where should the tofu be sold in every household?

After thinking about it, Erniang believed that the thing that really allowed people in this place to make money was cashmere. The cashmere transactions here were very prosperous, but many cashmeres were sold elsewhere without any processing. Except for some cashmere merchants selling cashmere, local people did not share much profit from the cashmere transaction process.

So, can she run a workshop here for processing cashmere sweaters?

·

After dinner, Luo Yong said goodbye to Wang Dang and others and returned home, sat under the oil lamp, and took out the letter that Er Niang asked someone to bring this time and read it.

Erniang has never spent much time on recognizing words before. Now the letter is written quite well. I don’t know if it’s because someone else has helped or what, but in short, the handwriting is still her handwriting.

Erniang wanted to run a sweater workshop in Liangzhou City, so she wrote a letter to ask Luo Yong what he meant. Luo Yong's reply was already on the way, so she put it in the linen bag containing cashmere quilt. Because she was worried that the goods would be lost while walking, she also asked Zhao Chen to help him pass on a message.

"The cashmere sweater workshop is very good. Just let go of your hands and feet to manage it. If you encounter any difficulties, ask someone to send a message back. If you are short of money, just go to Zhao Dalang to get it."
