Zhao Qi said that Luo Erniang was very ruthless when spending money, and this statement was not completely unreasonable. Even if ordinary people have money, they still have relatively reliable sources of information. They are inevitably going to have to keep a hand when investing.

Especially in this seventh century AD, the land was vast and sparsely populated. It was also in the western city of Liangzhou City, with house prices and land prices not high. Locals should have land and houses, and basically there are also locals. Not many outsiders bought property here, and everyone is not optimistic about investment in this area.

It is also in this environment that Luo Erniang can buy many properties in Liangzhou City at a relatively low price.

At this time, Liangzhou City is not very big in total. Basically, in the past six months, she has visited all the houses and fields that are deliberately sold in the city. She bought them if they think it is suitable. The remaining ones are either too high or other problems.

When those Chang'an people rushed to Liangzhou and wanted to buy a property here, they couldn't find a few decent ones after searching. After asking, they realized that most of the good real estate in the city had been bought by Li Shi Luo Erniang.

For a moment, some people speculated why Li Shi Luosanlang traveled thousands of miles from Li Shi County to build a road to Liangzhou City? Could it be for this?

"You are too underestimating Luo Sanlang." On this day, several people in a food shop in Liangzhou were discussing this matter. The store owner disagreed and said: "If he wants to make money, he naturally has some solutions, so why do he need to take this trouble?"

There are also rumors in Liangzhou City that there is also a sister's food shop in Chang'an City, and the transaction is very prosperous. Every day, you have to sell dozens of troughs alone. Many dignitaries also order brine with them, and often order dozens or hundreds of kilograms. When family members and servants go to pick up the goods, they have to carry them with a load.

What kind of person are the Luo family siblings? If they want to make money, why do they need to use a stupid way to build a road from thousands of miles away?

On Chang'an City, not long after, Aunt Luo also heard about this. It is said that Er Niang spent a lot of money in Liangzhou City and bought most of the idle real estate in Liangzhou City in front of those who planned to buy property in Liangzhou City.

Many people are talking about how bold and bold Na Luo Erniang spent money. Looking at An Anjingjing, a little lady, she could make a lot of money without blinking.

The aunt sounded a little funny, and she knew that the second mother was indeed a bold one. You see, she seemed a little weak, but she didn't even blink her eyes. At this point, the aunt was not as good as her.

Moreover, Er Niang once told her that she didn't want to get married. In the past, the aunt thought that her words were too childish. When the young lady was old, she could not marry. Now that she thought about it, she just didn't dare to think about it herself. Er Niang was a person who dared to think about it, and she should dare to do it, especially when Luo Yong supported her behind her back.

"Auntie, look at this meat minced meat?" On this side, a woman put down the wooden hammer in her hand, lifted up the sweat towel hanging around her neck, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked the aunt.

Aunt Luo walked over, reached out to pick up a little meat minced meat, twisted it with two fingers, and said, "It will take another quarter of an hour."

"Oh." The woman waved the wooden hammer and continued to beat it.

This woman was introduced by Yalang a few days ago. In order to avoid causing trouble, Aunt Luo's employer, except for Xu Dalang's eldest son, who was the first to bring from Lishi, were all women, some older and some younger. During this period, many new hires have been hired, and there are already more than a dozen.

With so many people working, and they started to make tofu and sell tofu earlier, the stall occupied a lot of space, so Aunt Luo rented a small yard in Chonghuafang, not too far from Guangdefang, and moved the workplace where the workers worked.

There are wells in this yard, and the houses are not very new, but the yard is spacious enough and the rent is relatively reasonable. From here to Guangdefang, you only need to walk through a not-so-long street.

"Is this load two hundred strings?" A young woman was wearing braised strings under the corridor. When Erniang saw that she had already put two buckets on her side, she covered it with clean linen, so she asked her.

"One Hundred and Eighty Strings." The woman raised her head and responded, her hands kept moving.

"I know." Aunt Luo nodded and said, "I'll take it to the shop first. You should also hurry up. You need to send all these items to the shop before the curfew."

The burden was 180 braised skewers, but not everyone could do this work. Aunt Luo had asked other women to do it before. Either she had a head in her hands or she always felt sorry for her and wanted to skewers a few less. Although she was kind, it was not as good as the aunt. The woman she hired recently was good. She had a head in her hands and worked quickly. Moreover, she knew how many braised skewers she wore herself.

Aunt Luo basically doesn't look at the store at the store anymore. The main thing about selling goods is to the young couple of the Xu family, and they hired two more people to help them.

Although I can trust the Xu family, the aunt has to know how much she takes every day. She has now developed the habit of keeping accounts. Although she can't recognize many words, it is always easy to find someone to ask a word in Chang'an City. When the aunt was staying in the store all day, some literate girls often went to their shops to buy food. If the aunt asked them about these, the girls would be happy to teach her.

"Auntie, what you carry is a braised bun?" Aunt Luo had just walked to the vicinity of Xishi City and was stopped before she even arrived in Guangdefang.

"Why can't I buy it at the shop?" Aunt Luo smiled.

"Since I met you, I'll sell me a few strings." The woman smiled. Her family opened a cloth shop in the west city. The business was good in the afternoon and she couldn't leave. At this time, she saw Aunt Luo passing by with a load, so she stopped her.

"Then how many do you want?" Aunt Luo carried the load to the entrance of her cloth shop.

"I want three." The woman asked her husband to continue to greet the customers in the store, and she ran out to buy braised skewers.

"Auntie is here? Auntie, please bring me two braised skewers." Someone shouted in the shop next to me.

"Oh, I'll buy some too."

"Get me five."

"I want three."

“…”

When Aunt Luo took the burden and went to Guangdefang again, most of the braised skewers in the two wooden barrels had been sold, and more than a hundred copper coins were added to her body.

After deducting the cost, she can pay a month's wage to a hired worker. She can earn this money every day by just walking this trip. In a month, she will have more money after paying all the hired workers.

So she has been going this trip almost every afternoon recently. People in these shops may not have thought about eating braised skewers in the morning, but she was too busy in the afternoon. When she waited in the evening, she knocked her behind closed doors and couldn't reach them anymore. So every time she saw Aunt Luo carrying a load and walking past here, someone would ask her to buy braised skewers.

Aunt Luo was walking briskly on the streets of Chang'an City with copper coins in her arms and loads on her shoulders.

I heard that Luo Erniang had set up a cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, and I heard that she had bought a lot of real estate in Liangzhou City. Aunt Luo was actually a little envious. Knowing that she was doing well now, she could often hear about her news from others, and she felt very happy.

I don’t know if Luo Erniang will focus on running a cashmere workshop in the future. For Aunt Luo, this sister’s food shop is her only career.

From then on, when Luo Yong asked her to work in the Xu family's guesthouse, her wheel of destiny began to run. This food shop was her destiny, and she also loved this destiny very much and regarded it as her final destination.

Luo Yong was not biased. He gave Luo Erniang a huge amount of money and even had to build roads to Liangzhou City. He also gave the auntie the food shop, and many food recipes she had never heard of before.

The aunt still remembers that day when Sanlang handed a small book to himself, the bloodshots were covered with his eyes. He said that Sister can slowly think about these prescriptions or deal with them by herself. The situation in Chang'an City is complex and changeable, and everything should be based on its own safety. Money and food are all things outside of the body. If you want to give up, you will give up.

...

When night fell, the women who helped the workers moved all the things they had made in the yard to the shop. Some lived close to their homes, some went home, some lived far away, or had to get up to work tomorrow morning, and lived in the yard of Chonghuafang.

The busiest thing in the Sister Food Store is the afternoon and evening every day. The two young people in the Xu family are mainly responsible for the afternoon. The aunt and Zheng family's eldest daughter will usually come to help in the evening, unless they have other things to do, such as suddenly receiving a big order to work overtime in the yard there.

"Let's go to the sister's food shop."

"You have been there for half a month, but you haven't gotten tired of eating yet?"

"You don't know? My sister's food shop is going to launch another fresh food. Today is the first day. There are discounts, buy two and get one."

"You're still missing that amount of money?"

"Don't be too late, hurry up, if you go late, you have to line up in a long line."

As a result, when the young men walked over slowly, they saw that the team was already long.

Several people ran to the window and looked at it. They saw that there was no change in the rest behind the counter. They added a new large-sized pottery pot, and there were skewers of meatballs cooked there. Some of the meatballs were slightly darker in color, while some of the meatballs were slightly lighter in color. The soup of the meatballs looked clear and bright, but the fragrance was very delicious.

"What is cooked in this pottery pot?" A young man asked Xu Xiaolang in the shop.

Xu Xiaolang turned his head and saw that it was a regular customer, so he said to him: "The whiter ones are fish meatballs, and the darker ones are mutton meatballs. They tasted flickering and crispy, and had a delicious taste."

"What are you cooking this soup?" the man asked again.

"It's just boiling fish bones and sheep bones." There's nothing to say about this. Just now, Aunt Luo said it himself.

"How much does it cost?" Another fragrance wafted out, and the round meatballs were rolling in the clear hot soup. The young man outside the window couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Two cents, four cents can buy three strings today, and it will be gone tomorrow." Xu Xiaolang's young wife also spoke at this time. The girl had just married into the Xu family and traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an City. She was still a little restrained when she arrived. After following the aunt and the others for more than half a year of business, she has now basically let go.

"Give me three strings." The young man said immediately.

"Hey!" The person behind the team who kept listening to them quit, knew that these guys were not honest, pretending to look casually, and then they wanted to go to the line as they watched.

"Don't blame me, my friend said it aroused for a moment. I forgot, don't blame me..." His friends quickly pulled people behind the team. For this stutter, don't put all the reputation in it.

These people were lined up, and saw a few people crawling in from the wall not far from them, patting the soil behind them, and lined up behind the line as if nothing had happened.

By the way, these people have tried their best to eat in one bite. Although it is not a sensitive period now, even if they are caught by Zhi Jinwu, who is patrolling the streets outside, they will not lose their lives. But being beaten is definitely an indispensable part of the situation.

The young people look straight and just think that they don’t see it.

Then the next day they heard that several students in the school were punished to fetch water for a month for climbing over the walls privately.

Otherwise, the net of heaven is vast and sparse, but the meatballs in Xujiake House are really delicious, crispy and slick, and delicious. The more you chew it carefully, the more delicious it feels.

However, it was this fish ball, meatball, which was so chewy and delicious that it almost brought Aunt Luo into a dangerous storm.

The reason is that these students climbed over the wall to buy meatballs and were taken to the court to make a fuss, saying that the merchants in Chang'an City are becoming more and more unruly now, and some methods have been used to trick the students into violating the night ban.

Just as the emperor was in a bad mood that day, he was too lazy to listen to his argument, and without waiting for others to speak, he scolded the official on the spot: "Why not, my dear will go to the sister's food shop to discuss with Aunt Na Luo, and tell him not to make the food so delicious."

The official was blocked by the emperor and his face was red. Many people in the court laughed, and then someone shouted: "What's the crime of delicious food?"

"I have eaten the food from Sister's Food Shop several times, and the food tastes good. If you say that Mrs. Luo is not good at being a bad person and is not allowed to intercept those students at night." said an old minister with white hair and beard.

"What she cooks is delicious, what does it have to do with her character?" The people over there still wanted to struggle.

"Hey, this is wrong." The old man squinted his eyes and said slowly: "For the saying "Tao" is like a human being and a person. For the person who makes food, the food she makes can be seen from the food she makes."

"What's this a fallacy?" Just because the things she cooks are delicious, she must be a good person?

"I think this is very reasonable." But at this time someone stood up and sang against him.

"It's right to reason." Many ministers next to him reviewed.

"How can a person who can make such food be misconduct?" Everyone said it was certain.

"Absurd! It's extremely absurd!" That guy was about to jump. What a break from the court? These people are still justified and not talking about it!

"It's so ridiculous. It's really stupid." An military officer with a general's belly laughed. With this IQ, he was still a civil servant, and even the generals were laughing to death.

In their army, those who are truly skilled in martial arts usually do not have bad character. How many of those who have a lot of bad thoughts all day long can calm down and practice their martial arts diligently.

Besides, this guy wanted to get involved with his sister's food shop just because a few students climbed over the wall. Most of the people in the court disliked him for such a poor method, so they just deliberately angered him with words.

"Those students should really be disciplined strictly." After a farce, someone finally mentioned the students who privately crossed the wall.

There is no need to exaggerate this matter anymore, just discipline it. If the matter is really a big deal, the future of those young people will be worrying.

These things in the court are no secret. In a few days, this incident spread in Chang'an City. Then, the students who made mistakes were punished for one month to clean the toilet in addition to carrying water.

When the neighbors in Guangdefang saw Aunt Luo these days, they wanted to joke with her: "Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious, I don't believe you are a bad person."

Aunt Luo was both funny and glad. Fortunately, someone was willing to say a few fair words to her. The court in the Tang Dynasty was not like that. If it were not the case, she would not know what situation she would fall into now.

Aunt Luo is also very grateful to those who speak for her, but with her current meager strength, she cannot do anything for those people. The only thing she can do is probably to try to make the food delicious.

After this incident, Aunt Luo was more dedicated to food. Perhaps the ministers only told a few jokes in the court, but Aunt Luo believed that even if it was just some ordinary food, as long as it was taken seriously and carefully cooked, the food could have its own virtues.

Since Aunt Luo started to have such an idea, Sister Lao Food Shop seemed to have her own spirit all of a sudden, like an ignorant child, who finally learned to straighten her chest.

“Taste is virtue.”
