North and South groceries

Wang Jinhuai narrowed his eyes slightly. He has studied business with his uncle for nearly ten years. Although he is still not ready, he has learned some skills to recognize people.

The ferocity and eagerness in the eyes of this man in front of him are not like the eyes of a young man, but rather like those wolf cubs on the mountain, who have no fear at all and want to bite off a piece of flesh from him at any time.Such a person, once they make a move, is afraid that they will die forever.

"So, Mr. Wang will come to visit another day." Wang Jinhuai said no more, Chao Luoyong slightly cupped his hands, turned around and left with a few of his men.

He had to go back and discuss with his father how to act in the future.Wang Jinhuai has always acted cautiously, knowing that after all, there is a layer of separation between him and his uncle. For things like today, the other party will definitely not let his own son do it, but hand it over to his nephew to make it happen. It's fine, just in case something goes wrong...

After dismissing these people, Luo Sanlang sniffed and squatted there to continue washing beans.

The weather was so cold that his nose was dripping from the cold, and he was thinking about wiping it with his sleeve, but when he turned his head, he saw that the surrounding villagers were looking at him with eager and admiring eyes.

Luo Yong remembered that this was in the early Tang Dynasty. At this time, people had not had time to be trained to be brain-dead, nor had they had time to be frightened by those powerful forces who broke their backs. Although there were a few mountains on top of everyone At any rate, it's not so dark that you can't see the light.

So when it comes to safeguarding their own interests, these guys are acting a bit foolish and bold.

Just look at the villagers in front of you. Seeing that Luo Sanlang sent away those guys who wanted to forcefully buy tofu recipes with a few words, everyone thought he did a good job. Those few words just now couldn't be more majestic!

As for whether those people will cause trouble for their village?Then I really didn't worry about it, the truth is on their side, and I'm not afraid to sue the emperor.

To be honest, many villagers have been a little anxious recently, for fear that Luo Sanlang will not be able to withstand the coercion and temptation of those people, and the previously agreed to teach them how to make tofu will eventually end up with some money.

Regarding the question of whether to learn technology or to need money, it is like putting a hen and an egg in front of everyone and asking them to choose by themselves. As long as there is no problem with their brains, they must choose the hen.

Of course, this is under the circumstances that they have their own choice. If they don’t give you the hen, just stuff a few eggs and send it away, then they really have nothing to do. They will help you for a month and give you the usual money. In the eyes of outsiders, it is already a great good thing. It is like smoke from the ancestral grave.

But now that Luo Sanlang has stood at the front and firmly rejected those people, they must stand up to the end!

As the one-month period is coming to an end, the helpers of Luo's family work hard every day, and the time to get off work is getting later and later every day.

But even so, the tofu made every day is still not enough to sell. I often have to use the frozen tofu in the big vats under the courtyard wall to make up the number. Watching those big vats being emptied one by one, the stock is getting less and less.

During this period, Ma Feiyang came again twice, and Luo Yong was too busy to touch the ground, so he didn't have time to chat with him.

On the contrary, Ma Feiyang brought him a small jar of brown sugar, saying that he was a little embarrassed to have eaten ginger bean curd so many times.

This jar of brown sugar is not cheap. Sugar is expensive these days, and they don’t produce it locally. They are all shipped from other places. This small jar weighs about three to five catties, which is a lot of money. If you sell tofu, you can’t Know how much you have to sell to get it back.

Luo Yong thanked Ma Feiyang, and he had a better impression of this guy. He was patient and willing to invest, which was much better than those who yelled for robbery as soon as they came to the door.

On the other hand, Ma Feiyang returned to the city with a cart full of tofu this day. He drove the carriage around the city for dispensing with relatives and friends, and sometimes saw familiar faces in the streets and alleys. It is also very generous, just invite people to eat tofu.

As for how Young Master Ma Jiu was feeling after Luo Yong told him another meaning of the three words "eating tofu", no one else was quite sure.

It is said that after dinner that evening, Ma Jiu went to his elder brother to scratch his head and scratch his head, trying to say something, but he didn't seem to know where to start.

"Say what you have to say quickly." Ma Silang was a little impatient.

"Brother, what do you mean by Wang's side?" Ma Feiyang managed to hold back a sentence.

"What do you mean?" Ma Silang was still impatient.

Today, he has heard about his younger brother driving a carriage all over the city to distribute tofu. In Ma Si's view, this is simply an act of insanity. It is purely full of food. Those who got tofu may not necessarily If you miss him well, you may have to scold him a few times behind your back.

"It's Luo Sanlang who makes tofu in Xipo Village. I heard people say that the Wang family has been there, and they went there more than once, and the last time they spoke harshly. For some reason, they haven't heard of it in the past few days." It’s quiet.” Encountering this kind of incomprehensible thing, my father was not at home recently, so I had to ask his elder brother to explain the confusion. Their father and mother had only two sons in total, and none of them had a daughter.

To be honest, Ma Feiyang had also thought about Luo's tofu recipe, but he didn't say anything about it to Luo Yong himself.

Like the Wang family, their family sent someone to ask, but Luo Yong refused, and then they didn't do anything else.According to Mr. Ma's words, Xipo Village is there and there is no escape, so why not worry, let's have a look first.

Hearing that the Wang family had gone and made the relationship tense, Ma Feiyang wondered whether Luo Yong would ask him to be his backer. Maximize your profits without hurting your face.

This is a rare opportunity for him. If it is done well, the old man will definitely remember him well, and his father and brother will also treat him differently. Thinking of this, Ma Jiulang looks forward to that day.

It's a pity that he waited and waited, but he didn't wait for Luo Yong to find him, so he walked up to him twice and wandered around, but the other party still didn't say anything.

However, there was no movement at the Wang family's side. This is too inconsistent with the style of those people. Why are they so calm this time, and they just endured it for so long and did not attack Luo.

"Luo Sanlang is not easy to deal with. People from the Wang family dare not mess around." Ma Silang is also quite clear about this matter, not only him, but also those who are a little bit more informed in the city know about it.

"Why?" Although Ma Feiyang was smart, he was still only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and couldn't figure out the key to this.

"Do you know that Luo Sanlang once studied in the county school?" Ma Si asked without answering.

"I know." Ma Feiyang once heard a few former classmates say that Luo Sanlang is very hardworking and has good qualifications. Several teachers in the county school spoke highly of him.

"Then do you know why he doesn't study in the county now?" Ma Si asked again.

"I know." Luo Yong's family suffered a catastrophe, his parents were gone, and he himself was in a daze on the bed for more than half a year, and he just woke up recently.

"Then you must also know that he has promised the dozen or so families in Xipo Village that he will teach them how to make tofu. In this way, if the Wang family oppresses and persecutes Luo Sanlang at this time, the villagers in Xipo Village will be shocked." Will you stand by and watch?" Ma Si asked again.

"Probably not." It's related to one's own interests, so one must not stand idly by, and even if it has nothing to do with interests, one cannot sit on the fact that the villagers are being bullied by outsiders, otherwise the people in their village will be regarded as softies in the future and lose face.

"That's it." Ma Si finally said: "Na Luo Sanlang has the support of the villagers, and he once studied in the county school. If the matter is really serious, there will be someone to speak for him. The situation in his family is very frustrating. My sympathy, if he wants to make things big, the Wang family will have nothing to lose."

In fact, there are still some things that Ma Si did not say to Ma Feiyang.

No one knows that the emperor is trying his best to govern, he has both ambition and means, and the officials below are also very vigilant. No one thinks he is easy to fool, and few dare to hinder him.

They are not very close to Shi County and Chang'an, but it is not the kind of barbaric place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If things get serious, let alone their royal family, even the county magistrate will have to be replaced.Therefore, the Wang family is still a little afraid of such a thorny and ruthless person like Luo Sanlang.

As for Luo Yong, does he have the guts to make things big?Needless to say, that is naturally very important, and the people in the Wang family are very clear about this point.

Regarding this Luo Sanlang, some people said that he acted hastily and was greedy for short-term interests. When those villagers learned how to make tofu, he would have nothing to do with himself.

Ma Si didn't think so.In less than a month, he, a little-known country boy, was able to make tofu popular throughout Lishi County. Xipo Village, which was previously unpopular, is now bustling with people coming and going every day Very.

Being able to do these things, among other things, he has surpassed many others in terms of demeanor and courage, and now he can fight against the Wang family, neither showing weakness nor begging for help, which shows that he is courageous.

Ma Si didn't think the boy was acting recklessly, he must have seen his own situation and the surrounding situation very clearly.Although at the other party's age, there are very few people who can do this, but some people in the county school said that this child is very smart.

Such a courageous and insightful person naturally wouldn't stay in the cage for a long time, and Ma Si was also happy to learn that his younger brother had some contacts with Naluo Sanlang.

This kid can't be good at martial arts, and he can't settle down to follow him and his father to learn the way of business. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, he still has some talents in public relations, so let him develop in this area first. If it develops well, it will be a boost in the future.

"This afternoon, my uncle told Ah Weng that Jiulang has been very intelligent since he was a child, but it's a pity that his temperament has not changed. I don't know what will happen in three to five years. If he can calm down a little bit, it will be a blessing for the Ma family." About the matter, Ma Si suddenly said a few more words.

"Tsk." Ma Feiyang was speechless and didn't say anything.

These words are so bright, it seems that he is thinking about the Ma family, and expressing his regret for his good talent. In fact, he is applying eye drops, and his uncle is quite good. very thin.

Thinking about it, he was driven into a hurry, his youngest son is also useless, he can't learn literature and martial arts, parents have to help their children find a way out, right?

Some time ago, Ma Feiyang and his father sent a letter back saying that he had basically established himself in Chang'an, and his family could arrange one or two young people to go there.

The current head of the Ma family is Ma Feiyang's grandfather. Ma Feiyang's uncle wanted to send his youngest son to Chang'an, and Mr. Ma also agreed. He said that this time, he would send one person there first, so that the young people would not be ignorant. Add chaos to Ma Feiyang's father.

The old man has spoken, and the matter is basically settled. It's just that Ma Feiyang is too noisy, too good at making jokes, and he knows how to please his old lady. Then this afternoon, Uncle Ma couldn't help it. Give his father eye drops again.

Mr. Ma may not know that the elder son is giving him eye drops, but so what if he knows, what he said is the truth, and it is not a random arrangement. His little Jiulang is very temperamental, and everyone in the city knows it.

"Brother, why don't you go to Chang'an? Little Ba'er won't be able to help Aye if he goes, and he might make trouble for him." Ma Feiyang said to his brother.

"I'm gone, who will leave these matters at home? You?" Ma Si glanced at him and said angrily.

"..." Ma Jiulang didn't dare to speak any more, touched his nose, and the bird quietly left his elder brother's room.

His elder brother has a bad temper, especially when he is so busy and he wanders outside for a whole day, he may explode at any time.

Let's talk about Xipo Village.

A few more days passed, and the month of January finally arrived. Luo Sanlang asked everyone to rest before it got dark.

"It's better to grind these soaked beans today." The helpers said that they would finish all the work for today.

"Let's leave it alone. I'm not afraid to keep the soaked beans. I have other uses." Luo Yong said.

After all the helpers put down their work and gathered in the yard, Luo Yong told them the practice of "tofu yin".

In fact, after working in Luo's yard for so long, some people have already guessed about the "tofu Yin".In the last few days, Luo Yong even let them order tofu by themselves. On the one hand, he saved himself trouble, and then he could let these people practice in advance.

In this way, there will be more opportunities to come into contact with "Tofu Yin", and these people will gradually guess what this "Tofu Yin" is.

Luo Yong told them that, except for the first time, the bean curd used in his family’s tofu is the physalis left over from the previous tofu. When the can is full, it can be taken out for some tofu after it has been left in the house for a few days.

Luo Yong asked them to go back home to make tofu. From tomorrow onwards, some physalis will be set aside every day. A few days ago, they can go to Luo’s yard to scoop it up. Take as much as you need.

After talking about the Tofu Citation, all the helpers in the yard showed no surprise, and all of them had expressions on their faces: "It really is."

"Although this method is not difficult, outsiders have no way of knowing it. As long as the people in our village are not humane to outsiders, every household will take care of their own physalis, and there is no need to worry about being learned by others for a while." The method is simple, but it is simple. As long as no one talks about it, it will be difficult for others to understand some tricks.

"Thank you, Saburo." Someone in the courtyard thanked him, and others echoed.

Not to mention that the method of making tofu is simple, if it is really that simple, why has no villager made it before?That is to say, Luo Sanlang, if he were someone else, he would follow the example of the Lin family and close the courtyard door and do it secretly in his own yard, so what would others know.

——Regarding the thoughts of the villagers, Luo Sanlang said that when he first woke up, there was no courtyard wall or gate in his yard.

Before the crowd dispersed, Luo Yong asked Erniang and the others to bring out a few palm-sized coarse pottery pots from the house. This kind of coarse pottery was made locally in Lishi County, and the price was low.

"Sanlang, what is this?" The helpers all looked at the rough clay pot they had been assigned. The pot was not sealed, and the contents in the pot seemed to have just been packed out of a big jar.

"It's been a long time, everyone. This is not a precious thing. It's called fermented bean curd. It's made from tofu. You should try it." Luo Sanlang said with a smile on his face.

Speaking of it, God was helping him. Some time ago, when he was checking the sundries in the space, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out a second-hand laptop from it. After turning it on, he started looking for things in the computer. Not to mention, he really found something.

These notebooks are all second-hand received directly from some graduates. If there are some personal privacy things involved, they must have disposed of them themselves, and some irrelevant contents have been left untouched.

After Luo Yong received it, he confirmed that the computers were all usable, charged them all fully, and then took them to the countryside to sell.

This one looks like a pink notebook used by a girl. There are a lot of cooking-related materials, such as making dumplings, cooking glutinous rice balls and baking cakes. There are so many and miscellaneous things. He found something useful.The fermented bean curd he made this time was learned from there.

That computer is now in the space in the turned-on state. One advantage of his space is that no matter what it looks like when it is put in, it will look like it when it is taken out, no matter how long the interval is.

Therefore, this laptop in the turned-on state naturally does not need to consume power when it is placed in the space. It can be used directly when it is used next time, which saves the power consumption during the startup and shutdown process.

For this, Luo Yong couldn't be more satisfied.
