204. Right and wrong
Here in Xipo Village.
Not long after Luo Yong and the others left, Xu Erlang hired some helpers as Luo Yong had previously told him, and went to the slope to pick Eucommia ulmoides leaves.
I don’t know if the temperature is relatively low or what’s going on here. The Eucommia ulmoides saplings sown last spring are still very small until now. It is estimated that the peak season will be entered in the next two or three years. It is not cost-effective to harvest the seedlings directly to extract Eucommia ulmoides glue.
So this time they still collect Eucommia ulmoides leaves, and not every tree is cleaned up for him. In summer, only some old leaves are picked. They pick dozens of leaves in each tree and pick them without hurting the trees.
The temperature in summer is high, the fermentation time is short, and the speed of making Eucommia ulmoides is also relatively fast. After this batch of Eucommia ulmoides is extracted, part of it was given to Wang Jinhuai, because he still did not find any other Eucommia ulmoides supply this year, and the other part was asked to help take it to Chang'an City by Ma's Trading Company.
All these Eucommia gels have been made into circular films. After Aunt Luo received the goods, she just needs to find a local ceramic workshop in Chang'an City to customize a batch of canned bottles. When the fruits came down, they could buy seasonal fruits to make canned food in Chang'an City. They would wait until the season without fruits to take out these canned foods for sale. Because there is almost no transportation costs, the profit is definitely relatively high.
When the autumn wind is getting higher this year, the large piece of pepper planted in front of the Luo family's yard is also at the time to harvest.
"Sister, look at the peppers I picked." On the morning of that day, Si Niang was sitting in the yard chopping peppers. Qi Niang came in from outside with a small basket, and as if offering treasures, she handed the half basket of peppers she had picked to Si Niang.
"Let's put it there." Si Niang was chopping the peppers at this time, and was so sniffed by the spicy smell floating in the air.
"Do you want to wash?" Qi Niang squatted beside her and asked her.
"You can wash?" Si Niang looked up at her.
"Yes." The little girl nodded seriously.
"Then be careful, don't wipe your hands that have touched Chili's face anymore." Si Niang said.
Qi Niang responded, then squatted beside her and picked up the pepper stems carefully. After picking them, she carried the basket to rinse under the sheepskin tube. After washing, she poured them on a basket to dry them. The peppers must be dried before they can be chopped into the sauce. No raw water can be stored in the sauce jar.
After a while, Liulang also came in with a small basket of peppers, poured them into a basket, and went out again.
Although this kid was born a few minutes earlier than Qi Niang and was also a man. Now he is growing, he is even more tender and tender than Qi Niang's little lady. It is okay to let him eat some spicy tofu, but it is absolutely impossible to let him pick the pepper stems and chop the peppers. Once his hands are covered with chili juice, it will hurt so much. He has also worn gloves to pick the peppers these two days. It is the cashmere gloves that Ernie knitted for him in the past. It is a bit hot when worn during this season, but it is safe.
"Sister, when will the brother and the others come back?" On this side, Qi Niang squatted against the big wooden basin and watched her sister chop the peppers. She was not afraid of spicy food. Last time, she used her hand dipped in chili sauce to smear on her face. She was so spicy that she screamed, but she was not afraid afterwards.
"How did I know?" Luo Siniang hummed.
"..." The girl Qi Niang pursed her lips, looking a little aggrieved.
Luo Siniang looked at her and thought to herself that I was still wronged. If it weren't for you two, my brother might have taken her out, and she would not have to go to school like Wulang.
But when she thought about the old lady and the second lady who took care of themselves in the past, she felt that there was nothing to complain about in this way. When she grew to eighteen years old, her brother would ask her to go out. At that time, she would go out like the old lady and second lady and do something big.
"What do you want to eat at noon?" Si Niang asked her.
"Pancake." Qi Niang answered without thinking, as if she had already thought about it early in the morning.
Although there is no croquette made by Brother A, their family now has spicy sauce, and the bean paste and soy sauce are all spicy. The pancakes with spicy sauce are delicious.
"Okay, eat pancakes at noon." Si Niang agreed.
"Hehe..." The little girl Qi Niang became happy again.
When the time was almost over, Si Niang put down the chili peppers and went to the room that was originally used to open a grocery store at the gate, and started to mix the batter and make pancakes.
As a result, before she could make the batter come out, a noise came from outside.
Several children of the Luo family put down the batter and ran outside to look at it. They couldn't tell what was going on. They knew that the noisy sound was coming from the village.
"What's wrong in the village?" Si Niang asked Zheng, who was chopping firewood at the bottom of the slope.
"A couple came just now. Yan was here to find Feng Gou'er and asked me for directions. At this time, their family must have started a quarrel." Zheng put down his axe, picked up the few pieces of firewood that had just been chopped and threw it on the side of the wall. Yan said.
She has been working in the Luo family for a long time now, because she eats well every day, and is not as worried as before, and her body looks much stronger.
"But Feng Gou'er's mother is back?" Si Niang guessed.
"It should be the same." Zheng sighed, and continued to chop firewood with an axe. He heard that Feng Gou'er's mother had remarried a long time ago. She had remarried and was back now. It's a pity that she is just a helper. Even if she is willing, she can't get into the mouth.
Si Niang frowned. Although she didn't know what Feng Gou'er's mother came back, she didn't look like a good thing now.
"You two stay at home, I'll take a look." Si Niang said to Liulang Qiniang.
"Sister, I'm going to go too." The girl Qi Niang said immediately.
"..." Liulang didn't say anything, but the expression on his little face was clearly written, so he wanted to go too.
The Si Niang had no choice but to take them with her. When the five pairs of donkeys saw them going out, they followed without thinking, without thinking. Mai Qing Doulier wanted to follow them too, but the Si Niang drank a shout and went back to the yard and squatted.
Now the head of this family is Luo Siniang, so they dare not ignore her words, otherwise they would have no food to eat.
When the siblings and sisters arrived near Feng Gou'er's house, they heard Grandma Feng's howling loudly, and the villagers' accusations one after another.
"Since I left, I'm back now, I'm doing something. Dog is good in our village. Just live your life with peace of mind." When Si Niang and his wife squeezed into the crowd, they just happened to hear an old man in the village say this.
"My grandma is old and a little crazy. I have been outside for the past few years and I always think of me as a dog in my heart, for fear that he will be hungry and freezing. Now I have finally discussed with my family that I want to pick him up. Why are the neighbors coming to stop me?"
Feng Gouer's mother looks like she is in her twenties, and she is also pretty good-looking, with a medium figure that is neither fat nor thin. She looks like a person who can work and manage the family, and speaks in an orderly manner.
"Since Feng'er's surname is Feng, he should naturally stay with Grandma Feng. Where is the reason for you to take him away?" Someone from the villager said in a stiff tone.
"I just took him for a few years. When he was older, he naturally asked him to go back to this village to get married and have children." The woman said and sniffed, her eyes were already red.
Some villagers will inevitably feel a little pity when they see her like this. What's wrong with being a mother who wants to bring her children with her? As for the Feng family, she couldn't blame her for remarrying back then.
Besides, if Feng Gou'er kept calling her to follow the crazy Grandma Feng, what would be better if something went wrong one day? Now that his biological mother has come to pick her up, it would be better...
"Then if your life is not satisfactory in the future, will you still lose Feng Gou'er?" Si Niang said at this time.
The little girl's voice was clear and very pleasant, but she seemed to have a knife in her words, and she wanted to cut a bloody hole in the other person's body in a word.
"Where did this come from? Who would be a mother..." The woman's expression was hard to see at this time.
"It would be better if you would like to throw away another one next time. Don't throw Feng Gou'er away again, and throw away the baby you gave birth to later." Si Niang said without waiting for her to finish her words, then said again.
"Where is this?...whether is this?..." The woman was already in tears at this time.
"Why are you so vicious in speaking?" Her husband also spoke at this time.
"Although Si Niang said something bad, she didn't ignore it anymore. You should leave and don't come to our village again in the future." Although many of the villagers in Xipo Village felt that Si Niang's words were too heavy, everyone still had to protect her.
"Isn't it good to call the dog to follow us? Why do you want this?" the woman cried and begged.
"Let's go." Luo Siniang had already said that, how could everyone let Feng Gou'er and the couple leave?
Si Niang's words were not ignored, but Feng Gou'er stayed in the village and followed his crazy grandmother, would it be better than following this couple?
They also knew that this woman had left Feng Gou'er behind, but what could she do? Feng Gou'er only had such a mother in total, right? Now seeing that they dressed and looked like they were living a good life. After they were living well, they remembered that they would take her son with them. This was understandable. As a mother, she would still cherish her children and ask Feng Gou'er to follow them. Even if she was not as good as his younger brothers and sisters, she would not be much worse.
But now Luo Siniang has said this to this point. If the villagers ask the couple to take Feng Gou'er away, wouldn't they stand opposite Luo Siniang? When Luo Sanlang comes back, where do you think he will stand? You should know this with your toes.
So although the villagers were still standing on Luo Siniang's side at this time, some people actually had some complaints about her in their hearts. Why did she have to make a move for the affairs of the village?
Speaking of this matter, Tamura Masashi happened to be not in the village today. If he were there, things would not be like this now.
Tiancun had previously helped governor Hao promote the water truck irrigation method. Recently, Chang'an City needed talents in this area. Gongshi Hao asked someone to bring him a message and asked him to go to Chang'an City. The villagers all said that he was going to develop, and I don't know what official the court could give him after this time.

A few days later, under a straw hut on the side of the big road between Lishi County and Dinghu County, a group of merchants were sitting under the straw hut to rest and chat.
“…”
"Na Luo Si Niang said this, right?"
"Tsk tsk, this little lady is really amazing. Who dares to marry her in the future?"
"Who family dares to marry Li Shi Luo Sanro's biological sister?"
"It's really a spoiled by her brother. How could it be her turn to make a decision about the affairs in the village?"
"The most unfair thing is Feng Gou'er. She finally waited for her own mother to pick her up, but she was disturbed by an irrelevant little girl in just a few words."
“…”
On a carriage on the side of the road, Luo sat in the car with a black face.
He was taking a nap in the car, but he didn't expect that he would hear such a conversation.
A few days ago, when Luo Yong was still building a road in Guannei Road, he met Zhao Chen and his group who came from Liangzhou City. He said that he would cooperate with him in the canned pear business this year.
Because the deal is relatively large, he would better go back in person. Luo Yong also wanted to go home recently, and there was a ready-made carriage to sit in, so he followed him back. He was happy at first, but he didn't expect that such a thing happened at home when he was not at home.
After Zhao Chen put the water back from outside, he saw Luo Yong's face as dark as the bottom of the pot, so he asked him, "What's wrong?"
