75. Investigate
Luo Yong stayed in Lishi County for a few more days this time until the stinky tofu transactions were basically stabilized. He settled Tian Chonghu again, and then returned to Xipo Village with a few Dinghu people who came to the city to deliver goods.
Wang Dang went to Dinghu County with his brothers in the past few days. This time he went back longer. It has been ten days since he was still not back. Wang Dang's wife and his left-behind brothers were a little worried, just because they encountered some natural disasters and man-made disasters on the way.
But no matter how worried they are, they can only wait at the moment. This is the case these days. There are no cars, ships, planes and phones. Once the space distance is slightly further away, it is easy for people to lose contact.
Luo Yong was very uncomfortable at first. He used to using mobile phones and computers in the 21st century. Now he traveled to the seventh century. He suddenly felt that his vision at 1:2 suddenly dropped to 0:2. He could only see the little bit of the world in front of him, and the distance was always blurred.
"Sanlang, I think your stinky tofu is very easy to sell." On the way back, a man from Hu talked to Luo Yong.
"Why, do you want to do this business too?" Luo Yong shrank his neck and sat on the donkey cart. At this time, it was already February of the lunar calendar. But the weather was still very cold. After being blown by the cold wind for half a day, a cool air was emitting inside and out.
"Where can it be? That iron cauldron is so expensive." The man in Dinghu waved his hand.
That iron pot costs several cents of money, which is not something ordinary people can afford? If they have that money, it would be better to do some small business with Boss Wang.
The reason why these people did not go to Dinghu County with Wang Dang at this time was that they had no capital, and Luo Yong could not give them credit every time. This time, Wang Dang was given cash when they purchased goods.
There is also a risk issue. The ability of these people to bear risks is still too poor. Some people are timid. Even if they know that the business can make money, they are still unwilling to take risks. They would rather be a mediocre person here and earn a few cents a day.
The lessons of Boss Wang’s past are there. The Wang family’s life was pretty good earlier. Because Boss Wang and they sold goods once, they ended up in a strange place and finally got rid of it.
That time, not only did they lose all their capital, but they also suffered a lot, which delayed more than half a year. After this disaster, the family life was naturally sad, and Mr. Wang was even more miserable. Sister-in-law Ahe fell and lost the child in her belly. Then Wang Shao sold himself. After several turns, she finally found the person again.
Now it is a blessing in disguise. Xipo Village is a good place, and their brothers are now slowly taking root here.
Then Boss Wang and the others started selling goods again. They were really brave. If they were the ones, they wouldn't be able to do it. At this moment, they didn't dare to take risks anymore.
Luo Yong’s stinky tofu deals is very good. They have discussed it privately these days, believing that the stall selling stinky tofu can do at least fifty or sixty cents a day. After deducting the cost, they have to earn 10 or twenty cents no matter what.
But no matter how envy is, just that iron pot stumps them. Nowadays, ordinary people can have a lot of money? In some remote areas, many people will never see dozens of money in their lifetime.
The iron pot is indeed expensive, and Luo Yong is afraid that someone will make a decision. In the past few days, he has greeted the people in the city and asked them to take more attention to Gu Tian Chonghu.
In addition, Luo Yong has a good relationship with the officers and soldiers patrolling the city in Lishi County. If anything really happens, they shouldn't watch Tian Chonghu suffer a loss.
After walking for more than half a day, he finally returned to Xipo Village. Before he could enter the entrance of the village, Aunt Luo waved to Luo at the Xu family's guesthouse and signaled him to go over and talk.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Luo Yong said goodbye to the Dinghu people, and drove over with a donkey cart with a smile.
"Come here, I'll tell you." Aunt Luo whispered.
Seeing her like this, Luo Yong also guessed that the other party was going to share some gossip with him, so he handed over the five pairs to Si Niang and the others who were playing here, and asked them to take the five pairs back to drink water and eat food first.
Luo Yong entered the Xu family's guesthouse, greeted Mr. Xu and others in the front hall, and followed Aunt Luo to the kitchen where the couple worked.
This kitchen is smaller than the large kitchen, but the place is not cramped. It is still very easy to move around in three or five people.
This guest house in Xu's family is well built, with two floors in the front hall. There are no single rooms on the second floor, just like a transparent corridor.
The weather is cold now, and no one goes to the second floor. Even if you go up, you will just stay for a while. When the weather gets warmer, it will definitely be great to eat, blow and watch the scenery there.
"... Tian Chonghu's mother told people all day long in the village that she said that Tian Chonghu was missing at home and could not even make tofu. She also said that she was lazy and she was a woman without much strength. She said that as she said, "Is the widow's family still alive?" Aunt Luo told Luo Yong about the matter about Tian Chonghu's family.
"What did Tian Chonghu say?" Luo Yong had asked someone to bring a message to the Luo family and the Tian family in the county town these days. In addition, the people in Xipo Village were doing tofu trading, and the news was quite well-informed. Now everyone already knew that Luo Yong asked Tian Chonghu to help him sell stinky tofu in the county town.
"Yan wants to find a judge from Tamura." Aunt Luo hummed.
"Just judge the reason." Luo Yong nodded. He was not afraid of them when he sued the king. It is not illegal to hire child labor these days, so he is afraid of suing him.
"The couple always talked about this place in the village these days. Yesterday, there was a hawker selling tofu and Goro, who was selling tofu, and said that Tian Chonghu's parents also told them about this matter with those who came to buy tofu. It was because Tian Chonghu was unwilling to go to the city to do work, but you forced him to go."
The aunt was very worried that no matter how famous she had, she could not withstand such a destruction. Tian Chonghu's parents talked so wildly that his family was so pitiful and helpless, making Luo Yong look like the powerful man who was robbing him.
Fortunately, most people don’t listen to them. His family wants males and males, fields and fields, and the skills of making tofu. If you want to say it’s pitiful, there are more people in this world than them.
But if some unknown people hear those words, I am afraid that some people will believe them. If this continues, will Luo Yong still have a reputation?
"You should rest assured, I have my own opinions on this matter." This situation was expected by Luo Yong.
The main reason why Tian Chonghu's parents had such a big opinion was that Luo Yong promised Tian Chonghu that his wages would not be paid for the time being, and they would settle the settlement together after saving them for three years.
There is no way, just in his family, he is afraid that he can't save the money back. If his family has money, his father doesn't like to work anymore and has to wait until he finishes all the money before he can move. Compared to his unreliable parents, Tian Chonghu trusts Luo Yong more in his trust, and would rather store the money there.
This idea was proposed by Tian Chonghu himself, and Luo Yong agreed. The Tian couple naturally became unhappy after receiving the news.
Tian Chonghu's mother has always been the best at crying and crying for poverty. She never does anything shameless. She dares to talk about anything at home. In the past, she had been talking about her manly all day long. This time, the couple reached a united front and talked about Luo Yong's wrong.
The reason for this situation is probably because Luo used this person to give them a little too kind.
Before, the Yin family almost made a spell on the skills of knitting sweaters, but Luo Sanlang didn't stand up and said something, and he worked hard to help them find someone. So some people regarded him as the kind and ruthless old man.
After leaving the Xu family's guest house, Luo Yong first went home to wash up and ate some hot food. When it was getting darker, he got up and went to Masashi Tamura's house.
When the day is short in winter and the light is good, any diligent family in the village rarely sits and rests. After this time, the busy spring farming season will soon enter, and the income of each household will be much lower than that now.
Luo Yong heard that Tamura's family has been making a lot of tofu every day recently.
Luo Yong didn't have much dealing with Tiancun Zheng, and he was a little cautious about him earlier. After the incident of Aunt Yin in the first month, Luo Yong's impression of him changed a lot. Now that Aunt Yin can be found, Tiancun Zheng's position and attitude are also very important. For this matter, he also went to Xicheng County. It was really not an easy thing to be in a cold day.
There is also the incident of Tian Chonghu falling and injury. Tian Chonghu said that it was Tamura Masato who had seen it for him and asked him to rest on the kang for a month. Now it seems that Tamura Masato is also a enthusiastic person.
The oil is expensive, and the villagers usually don’t light oil lamps. When Luo Yong went to Tiancun Zheng’s house, his house had already used supper and was about to rest.
"Tanmura can be at home." Luo Yong slapped the gate of his yard.
"Is Saburo coming?" When he heard Luo Yong's voice, Tamura Masao's wife hurriedly came out and opened the door for him.
"You are going to rest?" Luo Yong apologized.
"It's still early, so you can sleep anywhere." Tamura Masao also came out of the house at this time.
In fact, it was not just Luo Yong. After the incident of Aunt Yin, Tianmura had a much better impression of Luo Yong. Although Luo Yong was willing to teach them the skills of making tofu, in Tianmura's opinion, this matter should be just a choice of interests for Luo Yong, and it did not raise it to the level of benevolence and selflessness.
After that, Luo Yong accepted many disciples and went in and out of the village entrance every day. Tiancunmasaki was actually a little wary. However, after the incident of Aunt Yin in the first month, Luo Sanlang did not mention it. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to find someone first. Then he went to Lishi County to inquire about the news and made a lot of efforts. Only then did Tiancunmasaki begin to trust him.
"You are here today, but for the sake of Tian Chonghu's mother?" Tamura asked, leading Luo Yong into the house.
"I heard that those two are now destroying my reputation everywhere." Luo used conciseness to explain his purpose.
"I have heard of this, I'm saving it for them, I'm waiting for you to come back to clean up together."
Tamura Masashi is a cunning man. After the signs come out, he doesn't rush to ferment him first. The fermentation reaches a certain level. It will be more important to clean up tomorrow. Once you clean up, the village will be cleaner for a while.
Tamura Masato was dissatisfied with the couple for a long time. The tofu he made often had problems with his family, and the entire village was dragged down by them.
Now the two of them are talking nonsense again, pointing at Luo Sanlang directly, and it is also reported that his family Tian Chonghu was unwilling to enter the city, but Luo Sanlang insisted on him to do his job. After hearing this, a villager came to tell Tamura Masashi that the couple was really distorted, and they were afraid that they would not be able to do it.
Without waiting for another day, after saying a few words to Luo Yong, Tamura Masahiro asked his two sons to inform the villagers and asked them to go directly to Tian Chonghu's house to gather.
The Tian family rested early. At this time, the doors and windows had already been closed and lying on the kang. While lying down, they suddenly heard that the courtyard gate outside was being slapped, and the two adults asked Tian Xianger to open the door.
Tian Xianger wrapped her torn jacket and ran outside to the outside and opened the door. Seeing that there was a group of people outside, she was so scared that she shouted: "Aye! Mother!"
"Xiang'er, go to my house to play with Sanniang. Let's talk to your mother." Tamura said to Tian Xiang'er.
"..." Tian Xiang'er was frightened by this scene. She didn't know how to respond for a while. Without waiting for her to recover, a woman from the village led her aside and led her to Tiancunmasa's house.
Everyone in the village has heard about Tian Chonghu Ye Niang these days. At this time, Tian Village was asking them to gather at Tian Chonghu's house. Needless to say, everyone knew what it was for.
Before the couple got up from the kang, everyone walked in alone, among which Luo Yong and Tamura walked in.
A group of people entered the house with cold air. For lighting, some people prepared torches. Luo Yong stood in the cold light and questioned the couple and said:
"I heard that you and the other two are destroying my reputation recently. Is it because I forced Tian Chonghu to do my job with me?"
"Why did you ever say this?" Tian Chonghu's father smiled with a stiff face.
"Tian Chonghu did voluntarily work with me. If you don't accept it, you can go to the government to confront me." Luo Yong did not easily let them go this time.
He had already taken care of Tian Chonghu's matter. The two of them were dissatisfied with him and tried to slander him with rumors. Since the incident had been provoked, there was no reason why it was easily revealed.
