210. Going out
Bai Yimao and others heard that Luo Yong's family was about to go to Chang'an City, so they hurried to discuss with Uncle Bai.
Luo Yong is going to Chang'an City, are they going to Chang'an too? The gentleman is leaving, what are they still staying in Xipo Village?
Uncle Bai was also considering this issue at this time. Although Xipo Village is rare for these young people to calm down and learn something, since Luo Yong is going to work in Chang'an City at this time, the return date is uncertain, and it seems that it is meaningless if they stay.
Maybe I might as well go back to Chang'an with them. The adults at home haven't seen these children for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to go back to reunite. It's almost the end of the New Year.
"We will go with the Luo family in a few days." Uncle Bai Er said.
"Ao!!!" The middle school teenagers were so happy that they were finally going back to Chang'an City! Although Xipo Village is not bad, how can it be as lively as the bustling and prosperous city in Chang'an City? In this small mountain village, they are all day long and only study and walk horses. There is basically no other entertainment at all. They have been suffocated for a long time.
However, before going back, I still have to buy some specialties I should buy. I heard that there is also a sister's food shop in Chang'an City now, and there are basically all the things here, but like the beans that just came out recently, and the chili sauce from Luo Sanlang's house, there is still no one there for the time being.
A few young people ran to the small street of the sheep house to buy beans. The opening was a few hundred kilograms. They packed them in clean white linen bags and piled them on the carriage. They were riding horses before, and then they went to the county town to match the horses with carriages, and those who were sitting on people and those who carried things.
The Luo family had no horses, so Uncle Bai lent his carriage to them. In return, Luo Yong gave him some bean paste and copied a set of questions to give to him.
Uncle Bai really couldn't put it down for this set of questions. He always admired Luo Sanlang's ability to draw questions. How could he think of so many clever questions?
Luo Sanlang: The faculty and staff in the 21st century are very good at setting questions. What do you have heard of? Just these few questions are simply a drop in the bucket.
A few days later, Luo Yong's office documents were also released. He made an appointment with Uncle Bai and the next morning he would be in the air.
It was about to set off, so I was really reluctant to leave, especially the donkey and two dogs in the yard. The dog had to keep it for the house. There were still some things in the Luo family's yard, especially in the backyard. The donkey walked slowly and could not catch up with the speed of the carriage. Luo Yong would not take it this time.
When they thought about the fact that their family had left, there were only a donkey, two dogs and a group of chickens left in the yard. I felt really reluctant to leave it. That night, Luo Yong added food for them.
"You should take good care of your family for five pairs. Brother said we will be back when spring begins." The little girl Qi Niang said as she patted the five pairs' bodies.
"Ann...Ann...Puff..." Five shouted and sniffed at this guy, looking a little uneasy.
"Brother, can't we bring the five pairs with us?" Liulang asked squatted aside.
"We take the carriage, but it can't catch up. If Xu Dalang and the others want to go to Chang'an City in a while, they will ask him to take it for us." Luo Yong replied.
Xu Dalang and his wife also wanted to go to Chang'an City to see their son and daughter-in-law, but there was no carriage to sit at the moment. They said that when the next batch of Eucommia ulmoides came out, they would just send some to Chang'an City to Aunt Luo, and then they would go there with the caravan of the Ma Family Trading Company.
Lin Wulang also wanted to go to Chang'an City. He mentioned this matter to Lin's father and mother, but the old couple did not say anything. Although they did not stop him from letting him go, they did not agree to let him go.
Lin Wulang also knew that Luo used the carriage and said that after a few days, when the Xu family went to Chang'an, he would talk to Ye Niang again. Lin Wulang also knew that the old couple was worried that once he went to Chang'an City, he would stay there and not come back.
When we set off the next day, in addition to Luo Yong’s disciples, the workers and craftsmen in the workshop, the villagers in the village also came out to see him off.
"Sanlang, when will you return when you go?" the old man in the village asked, holding Luo Yong's hand.
Tiancun is leaving, and Luo Sanlang is leaving too. As they leave, I don’t know if they can come back in the future. How great is Chang'an City, it must be much better than their Xipo Village.
"I will be back in the spring next year." Luo Yong said with a smile, not avoiding Dr. Chen and others.
"Take it seriously? This time you are going to Beijing, aren't you going to be an official?" the villager said in surprise.
"My official is also temporary. I just went to teach arithmetic and came back after teaching it." Luo Yong said calmly.
The villagers were reluctant to let Luo Yong leave, but when he heard what he said, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Since you are teaching them arithmetic, they are their teacher. How can you call you back after teaching?"
"It's too unkind to kill the donkey after unloading the mill."
"Why don't you go, Saburo, just call someone to be a gun for nothing."
"This is clearly what it means to think that we rural people are easy to bully!"
Luo Yong looked at the expressions of Dr. Chen and others, and couldn't help laughing: "But I don't want to stay there anymore. Where can I stay in Xipo Village outside? Just guard the village well, I'll be back in the spring."
"Hey, then you guys are careful on the way."
"If Chang'an City is really good, it will be possible if you don't come back."
"I want to come back anytime, but now it's easier to go."
"It's good to be an official. When you were alive, you hoped that you would have this day."
Luo Yong felt a little sour when he was told by them. When he just woke up, he grind bean juice and made tofu with these villagers. At that time, the Luo family was poor and the villagers were not much better than the Luo family.
In a blink of an eye, four years have passed. In these four years, the gray yellow-nine village in the past has now changed. Many families have built yards and used cement to apply walls and floors. Not only does the family have food, but also copper coins and cloth, Yan'erfei, and threshing machines...
After spending these time together, although I have encountered some things and bumps, it is probably always good.
At such a moment of separation, when you think back to the friendship of the past, you will inevitably feel a lot of reluctance in your heart.
Fortunately, he tied the five pairs and Mai Qing Doulier in the yard in advance, otherwise it would be even more sad at this moment. The children in the car would probably cry.
Luo Yong bowed goodbye to everyone again, then turned around and set off.
The one who drove the car was the servant of Uncle Bai Er. Luo Yong and Si Niang Liulang Qi Niang were riding in the same carriage. Luo Yong was not wide, and Si Niang and the others were still children and did not occupy space, so they were not very crowded. Wulang was arranged to go to Dr. Chen to get a car.
This was also proposed by Dr. Chen himself, saying that Luo Yong had a little more people here, and that he and Qiao Junlin were the only ones there. It would be easier to arrange a child to go there. Luo Yong thought about it and let Goro go there.
Wulang was still in school, but when he heard that Luo Yong was going to take everyone to Chang'an City, he was afraid that he would be left behind.
How could Luo Yong do that? He went to Xiaohe Village and invited their husband to a winter vacation, and then brought the people out. Anyway, Goro didn't go to school after it snowed every year. Besides, Goro has gradually grown up in the past two years. He has been in the elementary school in Xiaohe Village for a long time. The husband in Xiaohe Village has a relatively limited knowledge, so it is almost time to change his school.
Before the snow fell in the past two days, the carriage was fast and steady on the concrete road, and it had already gone far away in one day. In the evening, the group of them stopped in front of an inn.
Because Dr. Chen was originally an official of the court, Luo Yong also went to Chang'an City to take office this time, and Uncle Bai and others came from extraordinary backgrounds, so the group successfully moved into the inn. When they went out, staying in the inn was more at ease than staying in a private guesthouse.
Luo Yong carried the two children in the car one by one, and then he saw that Goro got off the carriage in front with a drooping head.
That guy Qiao Junlin is simply a learning maniac, and Dr. Chen is also a person who can treat knowledge as a food, so he can tell what the atmosphere is in their carriage with his toes.
This inn is very spacious, with relatively simple facilities and no food supply.
When Luo Yong and they went in, they saw a group of people gathered around the hall to barbecue with a pottery basin in the room, with charcoal burning on it, and then two big knives were placed on it, and the meat slices were roasted on the knife board and eaten.
Luo Yong and his team had just come in from outside, and were covered in cold air. They had been sitting in the car for a whole day, their hands and feet were covered in mud. At this time, they smelled the smell of meat in the room. Seeing that those people were eating meat and drinking, they were really envious.
"Boy, do you want to have a few barbecue?" A fat man in his forties and fifties smiled and waved to Liulang.
"No." Liulang hugged Luo Yong's thighs and hid behind him.
"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. We will make a fire by ourselves." Luo Yong bowed to the other side.
"Oh, nothing happened." The other party waved his hand and said without caring. There was a lot of meat here, but there was not much wine, so they didn't want to invite strangers to eat together. It's okay for children to come and eat a few pieces of meat, so let it go, sir.
Soon, Luo Yong and the others settled down, and several servants brought food from the carriage.
Luo Yong cooked a stove, blanched a pot of bean sprouts and so on, and then changed to another copper pot and put it on the stove and cooked it.
A few people who were eating barbecue there stretched their necks and looked here. When they saw the white vegetables in their pot, they shook their heads and smacked their tongues. They were rushing outside on this cold day, how could they not eat some good food?
Luo used a little ginger and garlic to stir-fry the pot, and then added a scoop of water to put it in. The ones who went out were not in places like Xu's house, so there was no need to think about broth or something.
Put it in clean water and cook it, add some homemade bean paste and the chili oil that has just been fried in the past two days. When it boils, put down the thin slices of lamb and cook it together. It will cook it in a short while. Finally, stew the vegetables that have just been blanched in and you can start eating.
Otherwise, the time to say that the bean paste and chili oil is great. As long as you add these two items and cook them casually, the taste will always be the same.
Luo Yong used to eat too much of this flavor in Sichuan restaurants, sometimes he would inevitably feel a little tired, but for people at this time...
The meat from those brothers there was burnt, and they hadn't noticed it yet. Luo Yong smelled the burnt smell, and when he roasted it, it would stick to the knife board.
Luo used the group of people to eat water and boil meat slices around the small stove, and they took the dry food they brought. There was still corn porridge on the stove next to them. The corn was not yet cooked yet, but if anyone was thirsty, they could scoop some rice soup and drink it first. Luo Yong made a bowl of his children. Seeing them eating boiled meat slices and drinking corn soup, they looked very energetic, and they felt much more relieved.
Chapter completed!
