Luo Yong not only bought all the cart of pears from the Shen family's grandchildren, but also paid some deposit. He agreed to let them transport pear seedlings to Xipo Village next spring.

A few baskets of pears were piled on the donkey cart, and there was no place for him to sit, so he had to walk with the five pairs. Fortunately, after a while the snow fell, it stopped, but the wind was still blowing, sweeping across the desolate land with the whistling chill.

There were also several villagers from Xipo Village who were traveling with me, and they all thought that this day would be a sunny day, so they were relieved to go to the city to sell tofu.

Because tofu cannot withstand bumps, most of these people carry the loads. It is also easy to go back. They fold two empty baskets together, hang them on one end of the shoulder pole, carry them behind their shoulders, press them with their arms in front, and walk very lightly.

"It's cold enough, so I should be able to make frozen tofu." A villager said with a happy face.

"Is your family going to do it tonight?" another person asked with a smile.

"Do it tonight?" Luo Yong also asked. When they returned to Xipo Village, it would have been dark.

"Don't Sanlang know? Several merchants from Chang'an City told us a few days ago that they wanted to buy frozen tofu from our village." The villagers said.

"I've heard of it." Luo Yong also heard of it.

"Make the tofu tonight and freeze them. Put them on the kang tomorrow and the next day. Drying them on the kang, and finally making the frozen tofu dried, which can be sold for one cent in two yuan." The villagers told Luo Yong about the latest market.

The ingredients consumed by the two pieces of tofu were not even a liter of beans, and after they processed it, they could even sell it for a cent. In the eyes of the villagers, this was a great thing for pies to fall from the sky. So when the cold wind blew today, everyone was very happy that the cold weather would definitely freeze the tofu hard.

I was anxious to go back to make tofu, but my steps under my feet were unconsciously accelerating. Fortunately, the five pairs were also in good physical strength. I pulled a few baskets of pears and could still keep up with the large army without falling.

As we walked, the sky darkened. Today, there was just a snowfall. The white snow reflected the luminous light, and we could still see the road clearly. Walking in this wilderness, we were not afraid of anything else, but we were afraid of meeting wild beasts. The group did not speak anymore, but just rushed to the road. When we entered the entrance of Xipo Village, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Yong said goodbye to other villagers, drove a donkey cart to the small earth slope outside his yard, walked to the gate of the yard, and reached out to pat the gate of the yard twice.

"Who?" Erniang's voice quickly rang inside.

"It's me." Luo Yong said.

The gate of the courtyard opened with a creaking sound. Erniang came out to help Luo Yong lead the donkey cart with a rabbit fur coat. There was a light on in the grocery store next to the courtyard. When Siniang and Wulang saw Luo Yong come back, they looked at him sleepily and asked, "Brother, have you bought a pear?"

"I bought it, I bought a lot." Luo Yong said with a smile. These young people were probably waiting at home for a whole day, just waiting for him to bring the pear back.

"How did you buy so many pears? This thing will break after being kept for a long time." Erniang also saw the baskets of pears on the donkey cart clearly at this time, and was very surprised.

"Don't be afraid, pick up some of the good ones in a while and put them away, and the others are frozen. I heard that frozen pears are also delicious," Luo Yong said.

"Take it seriously?" Erniang had never heard of the way to eat pears, but this is normal. She has lived in this small village since she was a child, and her knowledge was very limited.

"Brother, how delicious are these pears frozen?" Si Niang was so happy when she heard that Luo Yong had bought so many pears, she ran to the yard to see the pears with her old cloth shoes.

"I heard it tastes very delicious," said Luo Yong.

"How much do we want to freeze?" Goro also ran out and looked at the car full of pears, so happy that he almost drooled. They ate the pears two days ago. The taste was really good. They were much better than the wild fruits on the mountain, sweet and juicy.

"Do you have to send some to my sister-in-law?" Erniang asked.

"What you want." Living in this village is about being a regular visitor.

"How much did you spend to buy so many pears?" Erniang felt sorry for the money and carried a basket of pears to the grocery store.

"Three Hundred and Twenty Months." Luo Yong also started to move pears.

The grandparents of Shen's family offered to offer a pear for two cents. If they bought more, even if it cost five cents and three, Luo Yong would pack them all, so the price would naturally be slightly lower. This car of pears cost a total of 320 cents, which was why Luo Yong didn't bargain with them.

This pear is more rare than that of persimmons and dates in their area, but it is not expensive. There are many people who grow pears on the flat side. On their side, a pear is usually only about one cent. This is why there have been vendors from around them buying goods in recent years. If no one goes to buy them, the price of pears will naturally be even cheaper.

When the pears from Pingyi County are transported to Lishi, there are fewer than one cent. After all, transportation is difficult in this era, and there will inevitably be some losses on the road. It is now snowing, and the pears transported by the grandparents of the Shen family are also relatively large. Luo Yong spent 320 cents to buy them all. On average, it is about ten cents and seven or eight pears.

First, he moved a few baskets of pears to the grocery store, then Luo Yong unloaded the five pairs of them, fed them some soybean paste and wheat grains, and then put some soybean meal in the food trough, and asked them to chew them slowly in the livestock shed.

The soybean meal was left after the last time when the oil was being squeezed. Originally, the person from the oil pressing workshop in Xiaohe Village said that the oil pressing wages were not allowed, just leave the soybean meal to them. Luo Yong thought that he had a donkey at home, so he still gave the money and brought the soybean meal and the squeezed soybean oil back together.

Soybean meal tastes more fragrant than bean dregs. The five pairs prefer to eat soybean meal. After eating soybean meal, they don’t like to eat soybean dregs very much. In the words of the aunt, they are all used to using it.

"Pick out all these things that are bumpy, eat first. If you can't finish eating, you can freeze them. Just pick up the best ones and leave a few fresh ones, and freeze them all." The Luo family has no cellar and can't save them for a long time. It's a pity if they are broken.

"You bought too much, too." Ernie felt sorry for the money there again. Three hundred and twenty cents were enough to buy a piece of silk. He actually bought this pile of pears and it was not a food that could fill his stomach...

"Brother, can we steam two of them first?" Si Niang couldn't wait at this moment, and that boy Wulang was also anxious, but he was a little used to Si Niang's success in everything. Luo Yong felt that this was not good, so he was wondering when he would separate the two of them for a while.

"Steam two more." Luo Yong said, "Everyone wants one pear."

Siniang and Wuro happily took out the four pears to wash, and after washing, they came back happily, and set the fire, and quickly steamed the pears.

Liulang and Qi Niang were already asleep at this time, right on the kang beside them, and the children were sleeping soundly. They were so noisy that the two of them didn't wake up.

Mai Qing Doulier was agile. He crawled out of his nest as he heard the sound. After running around the yard and working hard, he was guarding the steaming steamer at this moment, hoping that Si Niang and Wuro could save them a few bites from their teeth.

After sorting the pears, put them outside to freeze them, put them away when they should be collected, and then cooked the kangs in several rooms. After eating the pears, the brothers and sisters went to bed.

The next day, Erniang got up early in the morning. After breakfast, he led Siniang Wulang to cook pig food. Luo Yong had walked so many times yesterday and was a little tired, so he slept a little late. When he had breakfast and went to the Lin family with a basket of pears, every household in the village had already started to move and was busy making tofu.

The gate of the Lin family was wide open. Luo Yong carried a basket and stepped into the threshold, and saw several brothers in the Lin family grinding soy milk.

"But you want to make tofu?" Luo Yong asked with a smile.

"Sanlang is here."

"Come in and sit down quickly."

"Even if you don't come, we will go and invite you later. For the first time, we will make tofu, and I don't know if it can be done well."

"I even brought the pears."

The Lin family has a large population, and when they are busy, the yard looks very lively. People these days like this atmosphere. For example, the Luo family and the Lin family are all families with many children. Those who have a small family are envious of them.

There was also this factor in the fact that Lin’s father and mother could fall in love with Aunt Luo. Even if the mother is a fertile person, she should be a good daughter.

"We have heard people say these days that some foreign merchants came to the city. The frozen and dried tofu can be sold for one cent in just two yuan, so we also wanted to make some for sale." The old lady smiled and took the basket of pears that Luo Yong had, and said, "Why did you get so much?"

"I went into the city yesterday and happened to meet him, so I bought more." Luo Yong said.

"Let's keep it for the little ones at home." Lin's father was also in the yard at this time.

"There are still there at home." Luo Yong said with a smile.

The Lin family was about to make tofu this day, but Luo happened to use it, so they asked him to give some tips to order the sour sauce tofu tofu, and they had already asked some from the villagers.

Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang both helped Luo Yong before and made tofu, so they became the main force.

"Why did you get frostbite?" While working, Luo Yong saw that Aunt Luo's hands had several frostbite. His fingers, which were not originally white and tender, were red and swollen one by one.

"It's okay, it grows every year." The old lady rubbed her hands and said with a smile.

"On the other day, I will ask Ernie to knit a pair of gloves for you with cashmere, and you will wear them when you don't work." In Luo Yong's eyes, Aunt Luo is just a teenage girl. She has just arrived in winter and her hands are like this. I don't know how she came from in previous years. He was careless and didn't pay attention to it last year.

"..." The aunt originally wanted to say that there would be no time to avoid working, so she told him not to knit gloves for herself by spending cashmere. She knitted socks and sold them for one pair. But when she thought, the old lady was there, and as soon as she said this, it seemed that the Lin family had treated her harshly, so she just smiled and said nothing.

This scene was seen by the aunt's two sisters-in-law, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
