Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Precious Cattle
Luo Ergang and Liu Fangcao haven't lost their anger yet, but after listening to Luo Santie's words, they have somewhat eased, although they don't believe it in their hearts, if Luo Santie can behave in front of He Laimi, He Laimi will not be like this at this age.
Luo Santie said a few more words, and then pulled He Laimi and went home.
Seeing Luo Santie and He Laimi leaving, Luo Shangen moved the meat dishes in the cupboard out again, and comforted with a smile, "Dad, mother, what does the third aunt do with her, she didn't have to spoil her appetite, come and eat this sugar-stuffed meatball, put a lot of pork, and put some old sugar, this soup has been thickened, and the taste is good, I specially brought two for you father." ”
Luo Shangen put the only two sugar-stuffed balls into Luo Ergang and Liu Fangcao's bowls.
Luo Ergang and Liu Fangcao's mood suddenly improved, their son was filial piety, the family was harmonious, one of the two of them was divided, and the other was given to Luo Shangen to a few small ones, although the small one was stained with the taste, but usually even sugar could not be eaten, not to mention how happy it was to taste meat and sugar.
Luo Santie and He Laimi were a little more silent on the way home than when they came.
Luo Santie took the lead in breaking the silence, "You mother-in-law, don't listen to the wind is the rain, people chew the root of their tongue and say that the secret recipe is the ancestral heirloom of the old Luo family, you just want to have a nose and eyes, we have not separated for so many years, and there is a secret recipe that can hide from us." ”
"And don't say anything, what kind of temperament do the eldest brother and sister-in-law have, you also know best, they are the ones who can hide the secret recipe privately? If they had, Jia'an wouldn't take it out to make money when he was still there, and it wouldn't be poked in the back to take it out now. ”
"You are a red-eyed person who makes a lot of money now, and that is also the ability of others, so you should leave some virtue in your mouth in the future." It was rare for Luo Santie to say so many educational words to He Laimi.
It's really just the second sister-in-law Liu Fangcao's vow to make her heart a ling, and the second sister-in-law is so angry with someone with a soft temperament, before Luo Qinghe hit the wall and committed suicide after Jia'an went to Jia'an, it has only been long since the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family have a strong personality, how can it end if something happens, and their own family will have no face to stay in Luojia Village anymore.
"Can you say, who am I for, I'm not for our family, the family is not a product, Luo Yougen will go to Renhe Private School again tomorrow to study, our family, a student can't afford to read, my son, eldest grandson, they are not young, I don't ask for it, but our little grandson Heitu has to go to school."
"Even if we can't be an official, we can take the exam in the future, and don't pay taxes, just be literate and become a bookkeeper or go to the town to make a living." He Laimi said angrily.
Luo Santie was silent, and then sighed, saying that he had no ability, "Now let's do this first, when the conditions of the eldest brother's family are good, let's go and ask if we can teach us to make steamed buns, and now the eldest brother's family has just started, let's go and say, it's just robbing other people's business, not authentic." ”
He Laimi rolled his eyes, "Won't you rob business in the future?" ”
Luo Santie choked, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are very good, and when the conditions in their family are good, they will pull the brothers, and when the eldest brother's family was good in the past, he also took care of our family." ”
He Laimi can't refute this, that's right, but isn't it true that you should take care of your younger brother and younger siblings as an elder brother and sister-in-law.
But the words of the lady Wang in the town are still in my ears, if you can sell the secret recipe now to make money, what to do and so on, in the future, Luo Laotian's family will be familiar with it, and there will be old customers, how can it be possible for the family to win over others if they do it again.
However, something unpleasant had happened in Luo Ergang's house just now, and He Laimi didn't mention it to Luo Santie now, just go and ask secretly tomorrow.
The second sister-in-law said something like that, then it is very likely that this secret recipe is Tian Cuizhu's mother's family, and she has to start with Luo Dagen's family.
At this time, Luo Laotian's family, who were immersed in making stuffing and preparing to make steamed buns, didn't know if they had been remembered, or if they were their own brothers.
The next day, Luo Laotian's family out of the steamed bun stall changed slightly, Luo Jiadi followed to the town to help, Luo Dagen and Tian Cuizhu stayed and went to work in the field, after all, the two of them were more skilled in the field than Luo Jia, and because of selling steamed buns, the work in the field had not been cooked well for several days.
Luo Qinghe also went with him today, going to Li Ji Tofu to talk about the pond.
It's been a few days since I've walked so far, Luo Qinghe is still a little unbearable, but he has been stoic, after all, Luo Laotian, Wang Guihua and others have not complained about it, and they have no face to say.
The trolley that the people in the village used to make, since the first day of pushing to the town, has been selling the buns and depositing them in the Li Ji Tofu Shop, if there is a trolley, although it is not big, but it can transport some bamboo steamers.
But the trolley is always pushed back and forth, and it will not be used, and the family is reluctant.
Now the business is getting better and better, the buns are getting more and more, and the bamboo steamer is getting higher and higher.
Day after day, Luo Qinghe feels tired when he looks at it, now it has just entered May, and in another month or two, it will be even hotter, and he doesn't know if he will suffer from heat stroke on the road.
"Auntie, isn't the livestock very expensive?" Luo Qinghe asked Liu Lan, who had just exchanged hands with Luo Changgen and unloaded the burden.
Liu Lan turned her shoulders and nodded, "Livestock is a precious thing, you see who has a donkey in our Luojia Village, which is very powerful, and now the whole village has a family, taking on the work of pulling people, pulling mills and transporting rice when the farm is busy, but they are all very sought-after." ”
"There isn't a single cow in the entire Luojia Village, you find out that there isn't." Liu Lan said, "Oxen are very good at plowing the fields, but oxen are more expensive than donkeys, and the people in the village would rather work hard to plough the land themselves than spend money to buy cattle." ”
"Even if you buy a donkey, the donkey can also help plough the land, although it is not as strong as the ox, but at least the speed is faster than the ox, and the donkey is enough to pull the goods on the back."
"The most important thing is that once someone buys a cow or a donkey, there are many people who borrow it, and who is not willing to borrow such a precious livestock, so the average person really doesn't buy it." Liu Lan mentioned the animals and told everything she knew.
"Auntie, what should I do if I have to transport things?" Luo Qinghe asked, "Are you going to rent a donkey cart?" ”
"What a reluctance." Liu Lan said, "If you want to rent it, you can also rent a big cart, that one is also strong, and you can pull it yourself, which is cheaper." ”
"Is the cart expensive?" Luo Qinghe asked.
"It's much cheaper than renting livestock, less than ten dollars a day." Liu Lan said.
"What about buying?" Luo Qinghe then asked.
"If you buy it, you will get a silver tael or two." Liu Lan said.
