North and South groceries

On this day, after spinning cashmere for a whole day, several women took their share of meals and left the courtyard where Erniang and the others lived.

Working with Luo Erniang, I can manage two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening before work.This afternoon meal, most of the women want to take it home to eat, mainly to improve the food for the family.

"I came back earlier today." When a woman returned to her courtyard, an old woman stuck her head out from the main room and talked to her.

"It looks like it's going to rain, Er Niang told us to come back earlier." The woman took the food in her hand into the house, then went to the kitchen to have a look, and quickly started to eat. A few bowls of corn porridge with clear soup and little water came out, and then came out with a basket of miscellaneous noodles and a plate of dried meat.

The jerky came from the depths of the grassland. After the people slaughtered the animals, they couldn't finish it at home, and there was no place to sell the meat, so they had to process it into jerky. This kind of jerky is very common in Liangzhou City. Especially now that the price of cashmere is high, and the method of making soap has spread on the prairie, and the dried meat coming out of the prairie is much more than in previous years.

The price of this kind of jerky is not expensive, sometimes even cheaper than fresh meat, and it is more hungry than fresh meat, so many locals will buy it, and some people live frugally, and they may not even buy fresh meat a few times throughout the year , Living in such a place where meat is cheaper than food, it is a bit unbelievable to say that you can't eat fresh meat a few times a year.

At this time, in this family's house, there was a burst of stewed meat smell. It was the mutton stewed by Luo Erniang and the others. In addition to green onions and ginger, there were also some spices and even a lot of tofu.

Tofu may be made by some aristocratic families in Chang'an City, but in Liangzhou City, it is too rare.The family had heard people say how delicious the tofu in Lishi County was, but they really saw it after their daughter-in-law went to work with Luo Erniang and the others.

"Aniang, they haven't come back yet, so you can eat some while it's hot." The woman brought the bowls and chopsticks to the old woman.

"I'm not hungry, let's eat together when they come back." The old woman took the bowls and chopsticks, placed them on the table beside her, and asked her daughter-in-law: "What happened before, how is it now?"

The woman knew that she was asking about the cashmere stealing earlier, she sighed, and said, "What else can I do? I don't know who took so much, now Luo Erniang is annoying them, don't If you want to learn how to spin cashmere, even if you want to go back to picking cashmere, you won’t be able to.”

"It's their own fault." The old woman said, "Don't associate with those people on weekdays, lest Na Luo Erniang will annoy you too."

"That shouldn't be possible."

"You have to be careful, this time, it's those people who did not behave properly."

"I know."

"It's rare to find a good job, so you have to do it well, don't learn from those who are uneasy..."

The old lady kept talking about teaching her daughter-in-law, for fear that she would lose her mind and turn back to get involved with those outside.

She is old now, and her mind is still not confused. Those two or three vixen go to her daughter-in-law to say good things all day long, not because they want to go back to Na Luo Erniang to work, if they really want to work hard, that's all. These few people obviously went for the craft of spinning cashmere yarn. They stole other people's belongings and wanted to learn the craft from them. They were really bullying when they were foreigners.

It's better to be her daughter-in-law, safe and sound. I didn't misunderstand the person back then. I have suffered so many years after marrying into their family, and I have never heard her complain. People who are less than forty look like It's over half a hundred.

These days, she works at Na Luo Erniang's place. She takes care of two meals a day, and she has to bring back the meal at night, so she can eat a few more mouthfuls at the meal at noon. It didn't take long. The whole person looked at her I feel more energetic than before.

"Naruo Erniang is really a righteous person. After all this, she is unwilling to go out and ruin the reputation of those people. Just work with her with peace of mind, and she will definitely not treat you badly."

"Those guys don't know how to stop. They're afraid that others won't know their bad idea or something. When you see them next time, you can talk about them. If the trouble continues, everyone will know... Forget it, you It's better not to talk about it, and avoid those people when you see them, and don't have anything to do with them..."

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, the woman's man and two sons also came back from outside.

Her two sons are thirteen and sixteen, and they don't have much business. They spend the whole day with them, Aye, looking for work around the city, moving goods for those merchants, and sometimes going out. Be a porter with others.

"Hurry up and come over for dinner. Your mother came back early today, and this dish is almost getting cold."

Seeing that her son and grandson had come back, the old lady hurriedly greeted them for dinner. With two skinny palms, she pushed the bowl of stewed mutton and tofu in front of them, which was still warm.

"Mother, eat this cake. It's thin and easy to swallow." The daughter-in-law gave the old man a piece of mixed flour cake she had just brought from Erniang and the others.

Although they also have miscellaneous noodles at home, most of the cakes are made of beans, with a little wheat bran mixed in. If you eat too much, you will get flatulence and scratch your throat. Most of the cakes given by Luo Erniang and the others are made of flour. Pancakes, of course, are incomparable.

The family was eating, and the woman saw that her man didn't take out two or three copper coins from his pocket with a smile like yesterday, so she knew that they probably didn't find any good work today.

I didn't eat anything at noon, so I drank a bowl of porridge made from dried noodles and jerky in the morning, and it has been up to now.

Before she found the current job, she would go out with her husband and children every day. She knew how tiring the job of moving goods for others was. If I can't find a job for several days in a row, the family will probably run out of food.

When she doesn't go out with them, the woman stays at home with her mother-in-law, guarding the dilapidated courtyard, waiting with great anticipation for her husband and sons to come back from the outside. She was worried, but she couldn't help herself.

Although she can't help much now, as long as she can bring back such a hot bowl of food every night and watch them each eat a few mouthfuls, she will be very happy.

"How are you doing now?" When the meal was almost finished, her man also asked.

"That's not the case, that's all." Seeing Luo Erniang's attitude, it seemed that she didn't intend to continue to pursue it.

"I was at the gate of the city this morning, and I heard a boy in his teens chatting with those porters, saying that he was the disciple of Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village, and that Luo Sanlang's elder sister came to us and planned to come here. We're opening a food shop." The man said.

"Aniang, do you think Luo Erniang is that Luo Sanlang's sister?" one of her sons asked.

"This..." The woman couldn't answer for a moment.

If Na Luo Erniang is not the elder sister of Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village, how can she know how to make tofu and knit sweaters? If it is said that she is Luo Sanlang’s elder sister, I feel a little unbelievable, such a fairy-like figure, he His sister is actually beside him, living in their alley?

"When we just came back, we heard a lot of people commenting that Luo Sanlang's elder sister lived in our alley. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. A Diao and the others got into big trouble this time." said the woman's husband.

"This, how can this be..." At this time, the woman still couldn't figure out why Erniang Luo, whom she regarded as an ordinary rich lady these days, suddenly became the elder sister of Luo's coffin board. .

In Liangzhou City, no one knows how Luo Sanlang's cashmere and soap business has flourished in the past two years, and it's not thanks to Luo Sanlang.

The people of Liangzhou also called Luo Sanlang Coffin Baner, but they didn't have any embarrassing intentions. In the eyes of everyone, Luo Sanlang was not afraid of the powerful and powerful, and only such a cool name as Coffin Baner could be worthy of it. He is unusually tall.

If it is true that Luo Erniang is the elder sister of the coffin board as rumored outside, then this matter may not be resolved.

In everyone's mind, Luo Sanlang, in addition to being unafraid of the powerful and powerful, also has the attributes of the God of Wealth. Where would people not want Luo Sanlang to come out of their hometown, and who wouldn't want Luo Sanlang to come to their hometown to stay?As a result, A Diao and the others were lucky, they were so quick to steal Luo Sanlang's sister.

Now those few are still jumping outside recklessly, but they don't know that once this matter is spread, the entire Liangzhou city may no longer have a place for them.

The boy chatting with people at the gate of the city in this family's story is exactly Tian Chonghu, and the reason why Tian Chonghu would do this is naturally Luo Erniang's instruction.

In fact, when he first came to Liangzhou City, Tian Chonghu thought that they should publicize their identities as a group of people, which would be good for the future restaurant business, but Luo Erniang always felt a little shy and uncomfortable, and didn't want to He caused some trouble for no reason, so he didn't let him do that.

Now after such a thing happened, she realized how useful Luo Yong's accumulated reputation and popularity were. Since it was so useful, why didn't she use it.

With the foundation laid by Luo Yong in the past few years, as Luo Yong's elder sister, there is no need to get entangled with others because of these trivial matters. It's a bluff.
