Xiao Yuenong nodded as if she didn't understand, and Tang Zangyue said again: "When that person approaches, can you smell him?" ”

"One ...... The smell of oily smoke. Xiao Yuenong said uncertainly.

Tang Zangyue bowed her head and said: "It's a smell of oil smoke, it's not a momentary stain, but a thing that has been left over time." He has a thin callus on his index finger and thumb, which is the result of what he often twists, and his hair is oily, but it is not the kind that has not been washed for a long time, but because of the scalp, and his face is not greasy caused by the girl's oil, plus he asked me to call him Luo.

My grandmother guessed that he must be in charge of the kitchen procurement of a large family. ”

Xiao Yuenong was stunned for a long time before she said, "Xiao Wu has been taught." ”

Of course, this is also grandmother's speculation. However, the dressed-up, eight or nine are not far from ten, and the big family is on an errand, and it is better to take the lead in building a good relationship and selling it well, than anything else. After that, Tang Zangyue turned her head and said to Aunt Liu: "Sister, let's sell it here today." ”

Aunt Liu was also shocked by the ten catties in charge, and it happened that there was not much left in the jar, so she closed the stall early, and worked with Tang Zangyue to carry the jar to the entrance of the town.

Tang Zangyue: "Fortunately, the family bought more jars, and my sister continued to make kimchi radishes and cucumbers according to the proportion of kimchi before, but this amount is more than before, and if you can't sell it, put it at home." ”

Aunt Liu nodded, "Yes, old ...... Sister. "She's still a little unaccustomed to the change in title.

Back in Jiuli Village, Sister Ling, who was playing with stones under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, was stunned for a moment, and immediately threw away the stones and threw herself in the direction of the ox cart.

"Grandmother, aunt, little aunt—"

Tang Zangyue didn't jump off the ox cart, but Aunt Liu did.

Aunt Liu caught Sister Ling'er's small body, and said with palpitations: "Little ancestor, you should slow down, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit the ox cart, right?" ”

Xiao Yuenong also wanted to jump, but was stopped by Tang Zangyue, "Wait for Uncle Zhao to stop before going down." ”

Tang Zangyue gave Uncle Zhao a look, and the latter stopped the oxcart steadily. The grandparents and grandchildren jumped down, and Tang Zangyue said: "Uncle Zhao, go back first, remember to run to the village chief's house for me and send the vegetables you need today." ”

"Gotcha."

Sister Ling was in Aunt Liu's arms, and asked curiously: "Grandmother, why did you come back so early today?" ”

As soon as Tang Zangyue wanted to go back, she saw the twins with Sister Ling and a group of village children following up.

She looked at the group of children, who were a little sloppy, and most of their clothes were either made up of large or small patches, and to put it mildly, they were dressed like beggars.

Jiuli Village is really poor, if it weren't for the military camp stationed hundreds of miles away from the town, and a few caravans coming from time to time, maybe she wouldn't even be able to run a business.

Tang Zangyue took out a string of sugar gourds from her cuffs and said to Sister Ling'er, "Go ahead, share it with your friends." ”

She heard Xiao Yuenong say that this group of children are measured, although they have sugar to eat, they also take the children of the Xiao family to pick hairy chestnuts and roast hairy chestnuts in return. Therefore, Xiao Yuenong did not prevent Sister Ling from coming and going with the children in the village, after all, she still plans to take root here in the next few years.

Sister Ling looked at her little aunt, who explained: "I'll come back after selling things, play more with your two brothers, it's still early for lunch, I still have to make clothes with my aunt, I don't have time to take care of you." ”

When the cloth is bought, Aunt Liu cooks food and makes clothes in her spare time. Under the instruction of Tang Zangyue, she taught the twins to sew clothes, but the man's mind was too jumpy, and even Xiao Zhongran, who was calmer than children of the same age, calmed down and studied hard, and she also learned four different things, which was a pure waste of needlework and thread, and Aunt Liu had to dismantle and redo it.

Naturally, Tang Zangyue herself didn't say a word about twins, after all, she had also started it, and it was worse than Xiao Zhongran.

The work of making clothes and sewing quilts can only fall on Aunt Liu and Xiao Yuenong.

Xiao Yuenong actually felt sorry for Aunt Liu, but the latter rarely smiled.

The laugh was not far-fetched, but natural.

Aunt Liu: "In the past, when the General's Mansion was still there, I always felt bored in the house, but just guarding you and Sister Ling'er, my heart was also at peace, and now I feel that I am alive and full." Tired is a little tired, but for this family, my aunt is happy. ”

Tang Zangyue also noticed Xiao Yuenong's concern, and personally checked the pulse for Aunt Liu, and at the end, she said: "I am stronger than before." ”

Xiao Yuenong groaned for a long time, accepting the reality that the busier and more fulfilling her aunt is, the better her body will be, and no longer prevents her from being busy in and out.

There was still meat at noon, but the family began to adapt to the southern pasta, making multigrain noodles, which were braised with meat and covered with noodles.

This is the favorite of the three main laborers of the Xiao family, they can eat two large sea bowls, and after eating, they are hungry, and they don't have to look forward to what to eat in the evening all afternoon.

Juniors are not very accustomed to pasta, and they feel that there is no rice grain to taste, but where people go, they have to adapt to life here, and they can't let the environment adapt to you, right?

In the afternoon, Tang Zangyue didn't help with the repairs, but followed Aunt Liu to do chores, wash vegetables and make kimchi, and even the water tank she bought came to make kimchi.

At the end, she sighed, "The business has become bigger, and there are not enough things, but fortunately, after the yard is expanded, there is land." Tomorrow, you and Xiao Wu look at the stall, I will buy more jars and come back, and I still need to make more sauce and kimchi to make more money. ”

As soon as she heard that she was making money, and that she had her own share in the money-making credit, Aunt Liu was full of enthusiasm. Although he didn't say anything, his waist was straight, and he looked at Tang Zangyue with burning eyes.

Tang Zangyue thought for a while and said, "Good job." ”

Aunt Liu's face turned red, and she stammered: "Old lady, I, I should, I should, I should......"

When she came to the town, in addition to buying kimchi jars, Tang Zangyue also encountered unexpected surprises.

There were merchants who came and went to the Xiongnu and took their flocks to do business, including Han Chinese and Xiongnu who were lame Chinese. Because there is no big problem with clearing the customs documents, and nothing else has been found, it will be passed for the development of both sides. If the war is tight, this will not happen, after all, ordinary people will also be angry with different races.

Mutton is still very expensive, 40 wen a catty, you must know that pork is only 35 wen a catty, which is an extra five wen.

These sheep eat grass on the grassland, and healthy and normal adult ewes have 65~75 kilograms, which is enough to weigh.

An adult ewe is at least four taels of silver.

Tang Zangyue had some concerns. It's not because of the family, but for the people in the town who buy eyeliner.

She asked, "How long will you be in town?" ”

The Hun merchant knew at a glance that this woman with gorgeous hair was not rich in purse, and wanted to wait for the last few days to pick up the leak to see if the price could be less.

This kind of woman in the Central Plains is used to grinding people.

Although the Xiongnu merchants were impatient, they did not dare to make trouble in the Han field, causing trouble, and only waved their hands impatiently, "Three days, just three days." ”

Tang Zangyue smiled, "Okay, thank you for informing." ”

After that, she took the empty jar and returned to the town in Uncle Zhao's ox cart.
