426. Auntie

In early August, a batch of goods were sent from Changle County, mainly white stacked flowers, as well as raisin slurry, cheese, biogas lamps and mesh.

The white folding flowers are for Erniang, and her facial towel workshop is about to open. Raisins, grape slurry, and cheese are all for Auntie. My sister's food shop needs to use. The biogas lamp mesh is for Siniang. They are cut into small pieces or processed into biogas lamps and placed in groceries in the north and south for sale.

Luo Yong's disciples who stayed in Changle County are still running some workshops, and the output of these workshops is also Luo Yong's.

Luo used Chang'an City now. The two sides were far apart, so they purchased supplies from Longxi in this way, and then organized a caravan to transport the goods to Chang'an City. Most of the selected items were relatively cheap in Longxi, and transported to Chang'an City.

After these goods were transported to Chang'an City, the aunt, second and fourth ladies and the others took away the portion they needed. Then they had to give Luo cash, and then Luo would spend money here.

When the caravan was about to go back to Lishi County, the sisters of Luo family would ask these people to help transport some goods. The aunt mainly used ingredients such as orange juice, the second lady mainly used dyes, and the Si Niang wanted to communicate with the north and south groceries in Changle County. The types of goods transported are often more and more complicated.

Since Luo Yong and others returned to Chang'an City, Xu Erlang and the others have stopped hiding in Chang'an City.

Now there are rails between Chang'an and Luoyang, and the traffic is very convenient. There are even news that the railways are going to be built on the east side of Luoyang.

Xu Erlang and his team were preparing to open a branch in Luoyang early in the morning. The preparations are almost done now, and it is expected to open around the Double Ninth Festival.

Luo Yong had the money in his hand, so he naturally thought of handing over to Si Niang some household use, but Si Niang said, "Forget it, you can keep it for the flowers yourself."

Luo Yong:...It sounds like something is wrong.

Si Niang was having a meal at this time. After replying to that casually, she thought it seemed a little wrong, so she added:

"I heard that officials have a lot of social engagements, and it costs money to welcome and send off. Please keep your income for yourself. I have enough income in that shop here."

"Then I will rely on Si Niang to support me in the future." Luo Yong joked. It would be bad if you don't have to give it to your family. There are many good things that many men can't even look forward to.

When it comes to socializing, Luo Yong's current income is enough. In addition to the few workshops in Changle County, there are also many workshops in their hometown in Hedong, where they will transport some money and silk for Luo Yong to come over every once in a while.

Luo Yong's money was mainly invested in the machine shop. When the machine shop was first opened, the old lady and the second lady and the fourth lady paid some money. After the money was paid, they ignored it. The main reason was that Luo Yong was managing several disciples. The real master was actually Luo Yong. Many people in Chang'an City also knew about this.

This Luo Family Machinery Workshop is called a workshop, and its essence is a technical school. Recently, Luo Yong has also worked on some questions to test IQ and tried to screen out some people with higher IQs, intending to train them in the direction of researchers.

However, these people are still very poor at present. They either recognize words or learn arithmetic every day, which is about the level of elementary school.

There are also ten-day exams every ten-day exams, and once a month, if you do well, you will get rewards. There are fewer rewards for the ten-day exams, and more rewards for the monthly exams. After each monthly exam, you will have to adjust the class once. The competition is also quite fierce, and the pressure on the staff of Class A is particularly high.

After the exam, the break will be after the exam. Some people will choose to stay at the Machine House to study, while others will go home.

Many of them would take the test papers of this ten-year-old to their families for their families to read, and neighbors also gathered together to read them.

Although these daughters work in workshops, they are now like those of a scholar. There are strange, envious and jealous among the neighbors.

Most of the parents of these girls, except for those very few families, still feel more glorious and happy.

A neighbor copied the test questions and took them back to do them with the child who was studying at home. As a result, he couldn't do many questions. He was in vain for two or three years to study, but he was not as angry as a woman who had just entered the workshop for several months.

Speaking of which, in recent years, the price of paper and pen in Chang'an City has dropped. There are often so-called scholars who can read and read a few words in the market. Their level is naturally not as good as the gentlemen Luo hired with high salaries.

Besides, most of these little boys are still very young, not very sensible, and do not know how to cherish the opportunity to study. They are not under much pressure, which is very different from the situation of those women in the machine shop.

Even so, the first-year exam papers in their Machinery Floor gradually became popular and began to gain some fame. Some primary and private schools often copied their papers to take their own students, and some large families' tribes. The same is true.

Since everyone likes this paper so much, Luo Yong then made people print the paper openly and sell it in groceries in the north and south. Each paper costs one penny. If you buy ten cents at one time, you can give you three more copies, which is considered a wholesale price.

The horizontal and vertical carvings have been carved, but they only need more paper and ink to hand them over to the children under Xing Ershu, and they can print them soon, and they can earn more wages.

The Machinery Store can also make more income, but it doesn’t cost much money. It’s possible to add some meat and vegetables to everyone.

The consumption in Chang'an is quite high, and vegetables, meat and food are not cheap. It is impossible to raise such a few hundred people, saying that there is no pressure.

It's funny, Luo Yong's county lord's mansion now raises some chickens and geese.

Because Si Niang was named a county lord two years ago, she was not a waste of time. In addition to her fief, she also has various benefits.

In this era, the court paid salaries to officials. In addition to money and silk, there were also some rice, flour, food, fish, meat, chicken, etc. Sometimes they also distributed some valuable items such as pepper and honey. The amount of materials distributed mainly depends on the grade.

In addition to officials, the royal relatives and princesses also have to give them to each royal family. As a small county lord, Si Niang has less things to take, but it is better than nothing. Who doesn’t want anything to give for free?

Once upon a time, Si Niang and the others lived in the Bai family, and they all had food and food in the Bai family. It was useless to take these goods, so they were handed over to the Bai family for food expenses.

Now that Si Niang and the others have moved out, the Bai family naturally doesn't want these things. They sent their families to say hello early in the morning and asked someone to send these things to the county lord's mansion in the future.

So, Luo Yong would not often see a lot of vegetables, a few big meats, a few cooing roosters and hens in his yard.

Last time, he sent a whole load of pickles. The Luo brothers and sisters could finish eating, so he asked Azhi Xianglan and the others to take a few of them and keep a few of them themselves. The rest of Si Niang asked someone to take them to the Machine House, and they finished eating them in just one meal.

There is also the rooster and hen that was sent. If he didn't want to eat chicken, he would first keep it in the yard. Later, as he raised it, hens kept holding the nest and hatching a group of chickens.

Goro and his friends set up a fence in a corner of the backyard and raised all the chickens and geese. Azhi and his friends also opened a small vegetable bed under the base of the wall next to them, and threw a few vegetable leaves into the chicken circle from time to time to watch them chirping and chasing for food.

The child from Hou Lin's family is now a little follower. Every evening, when Wulang and his friends come back from the Bai family, he is very happy and calls out to his brothers and sisters.

However, this kid is also a solid guy, not the kind of obedient and cute type. However, Qi Niang's temperament is a bit eccentric. He doesn't he give in to him when he sees him young. Can that little baby make trouble for Qi Niang? In the end, he often goes back to find his grandmother while crying, and then forgets the next day, and the elder sister calls him so happy.

If there are many children in the yard, it will be more lively. If Fei'er comes, it will be even more lively. The two children cry together, and they really want to lift the roof.

Aunt Wulang and his friends have often brought Fei'er here recently, and Mai Qing has also brought her here. There are also their houses in the yard here. Sometimes if there is nothing wrong with the shop in the south of the city, they often stay at the county lord's mansion for several days.

In the small courtyard there, the aunt bought two side rooms and let the two men in charge live in it. It also provided them with a convenient place to live and asked them to help keep the house.

There is a jujube tree in the yard of the county lord's mansion. Recently, green fruits have been born on the tree. The little husband of Hou has been waiting for the jujubes all day long. Later, for some reason, even Fei'er started to ask for the fruits on the tree.

Lin Wulang was so troubled by her, so he got up the tree. Si Niang and the others kept shouting under the tree, brother-in-law, be careful. When the aunt heard the noise, she came out of the house. When she saw this scene, she was immediately angry and anxious.

"What are you doing at this time? The dates are not yet ripe yet, come down quickly!" the aunt shouted under the tree.

"Let me see if there is any that ripe early. My son was born and hadn't eaten these green dates yet." Lin Wulang replied on the tree with a smile.

He grew up in the countryside, and climbing trees was a basic skill. In the past few years when the aunt had just passed the door, he would go to the mountains to find some wild fruits every autumn, from the beginning of autumn until the beginning of winter.

The trees in the mountain are much taller than this jujube tree. Sometimes they are afraid of encountering poisonous snakes. Now they are just a jujube tree planted in the yard, which is nothing to him.

Lin Wulang searched on the tree and searched again and again, but in the end he found a few premature dates, carefully picked them and put them in his arms, without even hurting the branches next to him.

When he came down from the tree, the aunt was so angry that she hit him with her fist several times. Lin Wulang just felt it, not angry at all.

The dates were washed clean, carefully peeled, and then slowly scraped some date paste with a small silver spoon and fed them to Fei'er's mouth. The little boy ate the dates as he wished, and was happy. He waved his arms and giggled with his toothless mouth.

The little Hou Langjun also wanted to eat dates, so he squatted aside and watched. When Lin Wulang saw it, he gave him one.

This date is a good thing, but it is rare now. In another ten days and half a month, you can see those who carry loads to sell dates everywhere in Chang'an City, and the price is not expensive.

"Just spoil her. If you see you, don't care." The old lady was happy to see her daughter eating dates, and her anger was almost gone.

"You can't spoil it like this." Huang Xianglan, who was beside her, also said so.

Hou Lin said all day long that she was spoiled by children, and compared with Lin Wulang, she was a tiny figure.

"You are not afraid of spoiling her." The old lady was chanting there again.
