344. Finish eating

When the cotton gin was put into use in the cashmere workshop last year, in order to prevent the news from leaking, people in Chang'an City would affect the price of the white cloth after hearing this. So Luo Yong told Erniang to tell them that the people in their cashmere workshop should keep the secret and not spread the news.

I originally thought that even so, there would be no airtight wall in the world. The news about the cotton ginning machine would certainly leak a little, but I didn't expect that the little ladies' confidentiality was surprisingly good.

Luo Yong felt that it was probably because these young ladies cherished their job in the cashmere workshop very much, and were afraid of losing their jobs.

However, what Luo Yong didn't know was that in fact, the cashmere workshop was also a small society. In the past, these young ladies only had their own parents and family members, and they were in the neighbors. They lived how others lived, and they did not have many other ideas.

Then now I came to this cashmere workshop. The people who work in charge and even the big bosses of the cashmere workshop are all women. So gradually, some people have some bold ideas in their minds. There are always those who do not accept their fate. They are determined to work hard to achieve their own career, and they don’t want to live a life of marrying their father and serving their husbands at home.

In this case, some women will appear very stubborn and intense in character. Cashmere workshops are their biggest reliance at present, and this job is their biggest reliance at present.

If anyone does something that hurts the interests of cashmere workshops, their reactions will often be much more extreme than Luo Erniang and others. This time, the cotton ginning process is not so good as saying that no one dares to leak the secrets.

Cashmere workshops are not a paradise. There are pressures and conflicts in it. Because they carry too many hopes, Luo Erniang sometimes feels that the burden on her shoulders is very heavy.

After bearing this weight, she felt that her life was a little different from the past.

When the white-flowered flower harvesting season this year, they will divide the cashmere workshop into two parts. One part is still processed in cashmere, and the other part is processed in white-flowered flower, that is, cotton processing.

After this fall, they will recruit people, and the expansion workshop is also under planning. The place is on an open space next to their cashmere workshop. At that time, find someone to build the workshop houses there, then repair the wall, and then directly open the middle wall. During the construction period, there will be no impact on the workshop here.

"Er Niang, the sauce for making cold dishes is almost used up. I'll ask them to send some more over the past two days?"

Early that morning, Luo Erniang got up early to check the food and food in the canteen, and the lady in charge of the canteen told her.

"I'll go, and I'll ask them to deliver it later." Liu Huo and the others are selling cotton gins on the street these two days. I heard that many people are coming to buy it, so she was going to go out for a while and she was planning to go out for a look.

"Oh." The lady in charge responded, then lifted a bucket to add water to the big pottery.

"Put some more corn in it." Luo Erniang leaned into the pottery and looked at it.

"This is not much," the lady said with a smile.

"Put more and you can afford it." Luo Erniang also smiled.

"Oh." The lady then went to the jar to take out the rice. She also wanted to make the corn porridge thick every day. She was not thinking about saving some for their cashmere workshop. After all, it was not just drinking porridge, and there were also various cooking cakes and side dishes.

Luo Erniang looked around in the cafeteria and was generally satisfied, so she left the cafeteria. It was dawn outside. Some young ladies who got up early had already gotten up to wash up at this time, and some were diligent, so they had to take advantage of the time before work to recognize a few words.

Erniang also bought a few textbooks used in the county middle school and put them in the lobby for guests. The ladies who could read in the workshop copied some more.

There are many different kinds of people. Some young ladies don’t like to chat and laugh with others after they get off work. They like to sit in the lobby and read books and read, and they will see it in the middle of the night.

Ernie is not stingy with lamp oil. If these young ladies can achieve success in the future, they will also help her cashmere workshop.

Erniang's rubber-soled leather boots step by step on the cleaned concrete floor. The morning breeze blew the corners of her clothes, the clean colors and the fresh atmosphere.

Erniang's steps were light and steady. She came out of the cashmere workshop and walked along the path next to her for a while. On the way, she met many people in the city who came to work in the workshop area. She greeted people all the way and soon arrived on the street.

As the sky was just dawn, the streets of Changle County were already very lively, especially at the stalls where Liu Huo and others sold cotton gins, there were three circles inside and three circles inside and outside, mostly from the area of ​​Jinchang, Dunhuang, and there were many Hu people mixed in it.

There are many Hu merchants who come and go to Changle County this year. There are currently three main things in Changle County that attract them the most, namely needles, white wine and tea.

“…”

"Everyone, take a look."

"Put the white flower down from here, shake the handle..."

"See, these little iron hooks?"

"These small iron hooks hook up the velvet, then look at the brush here, and sweep the brush, hey, you see this velvet is swept out..."

"Look at these flower seeds again."

"The flower seeds have all fallen below this, have you seen it?"

"When you don't need it, you can put the wooden bucket and cover the lid. Look, this is a wooden box, which can be used as a small table on the kang."

"It's also convenient to move. Here you have a strap and just hang it on your shoulders."

"What? Do it again?"

"Mo You, how expensive the white buns last year were, and it would be great to leave some of them for everyone this year. I can only demonstrate this time every day. If I don't see clearly today, I will come back tomorrow."

"You have to be really worried, so you can wait until the white flower harvest this year before buying it."

"Mo has no more, and today's white stacked flowers are no more."

“…”

There are still people here who pester Liu Huo and the others to watch the demonstration. Some wealthy people there have already started to pay for the goods at this time.

Many of the Hu merchants from the Western Regions brought gold, silver and treasures, and there were inevitably some defective and fake goods. Luo Yong arranged experienced officials to come and help them. The salary from the Duke's Mansion was paid as a result, and they could earn some extra money here, so these officials were very happy.

Seeing that they were very busy, Er Niang didn't go up to say hello and went straight to the vegetable shop.

At first, there was only one servant in the vegetable shop. Now it has increased to three. Another officer of some age has come. Another is an extra-staff member, who is a relative of a rich family in Changle County. Because the rich family has cooperated with the public administration to do a lot of work and has made considerable contributions to the county. A few days ago, he spoke to Luo Yong, and Luo Yong arranged such a job for his relative, which is also considered to be a matter of goings and goings.

The business in this vegetable shop has been very good recently, mainly because all kinds of sauces are sold well, especially after the wooden track is passed, many people in Jinchang City have come to buy it.

When Luo Erniang entered, the three of them swept the floor, sorted the goods, and talked while working, and got along happily.

No matter whether they were holding knives, pens, or hoes in the past, they were all selling vegetables. When people reach this age, they could still eat stable food every day without burdening their children and grandchildren. In addition, people come in and out every day, and they were very happy to see it.

"The second wife is here."

"Why did Er Niang come here so long ago today?"

"But what things are you going to buy?" The three of them greeted Luo Erniang.

"I don't have any hot sauce for the cold dishes on my side, so I need to buy some." Erniang smiled.

"Then I'll send it to you?" asked the old man from a farmer.

"No hurry." Erniang said: "You can just send it before lunch, and you can also send me a can of soy sauce."

"Okay."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I've just eaten."

"Didn't Er Niang eat it yet?"

"The fried pork slices and fried pork stews I ate today are so delicious, so you can eat some too."

"Everyone said that they were not full yet, so they asked the cook to fry another pot. It's just right that you can go there."

Since the spring has been opened, the mutton here has gradually become very expensive.

The magistrate of Luo County was greedy for meat early this morning, so he asked the chef to bring two jars of canned meat from the warehouse, then took some crumbs, put some vegetables and stir-fry them together, and fryed them several large pots. He didn't eat enough, and each of them was like a bottomless pit in his stomach.

When Luo Erniang passed by, Luo Yong was eating with a bowl of fried ginger. When he saw her coming, he rushed around the pot and divided the lingering lingeringers and shouted: "Hey, leave a bowl for my sister."

"..." The big-bellied men gathered around the pot and divided them one by one, and pretended not to hear what the County Magistrate Luo said. Some of them had thin skin. At this time, their ears turned red, and they refused to let the squid.

"I'll do it." Qiao Junlin stood up at this time, took a clean empty bowl from the side, and walked over a few steps.

He didn't bully those small ones, and he specially picked the tallest and strongest ones. He dragged them out two or three, and he could go next to the pot by himself. Then he quickly made a big bowl of fried pork with sharp sauce for Luo Erniang.

Those big guys didn't dare to complain, and they shrank their necks and continued to squeeze into the pot, trying to make another bowl of fried pork stews in the pot before they were robbed.

Their boss has always been like this. Others choose persimmons and pick the soft ones, but he specializes in picking hard ones to touch them. For them, it is actually not beneficial to be big.

"Eat it, sister, the fried pork stew is delicious today." Luo Yong said to Er Niang with a smile.

"Oh." Er Niang smiled, took the big bowl of fried ginger handed over by Qiao Junlin, and ate it in big mouthfuls with a bowl of ginger soup cooked by the cook.

"Sister, can you finish eating?"
