I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing didn't dare to ask for iron ore directly. The price of iron ore is still very expensive these days, and of course copper ore is more expensive.

This has nothing to do with which tool is better to use. The most important thing is that Datang Tongbao uses copper. This is also because the technology for smelting copper is much better than the technology for smelting iron. After all, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and how long has the technology been updated and iterated.

However, ironware has only been popularized in a large area since the Warring States Period to the present, mainly because iron ore has a relatively high melting point and is not easy to smelt.

After hearing this, Ale really put his hand on Luo Shixing's shoulder, and that gesture didn't look like a county magistrate at all.

Cheng Jingwei stood aside and squinted his eyes to see what happened but didn't say anything.

Ale really smiled and said to Luo Shixing, "Don't you want iron ore?"

Luo Shixing's heart fluttered for a moment, and finally said: "Forget it, I have a small number of people, and it will be troublesome to ask for iron ore, as long as the ore is fine."

The food needs to be eaten at one bite, and he is not able to protect all the things now. Even Yantian is still managed by Alezhen. Instead, give them a period of time to rectify.

And if those people don't rectify, Luo Shixing actually has no good way, at best, he will try not to produce salt and drive these people away.

But he wouldn't do it unless it was absolutely necessary. If it wasn't for this Yantian, he might not be able to sustain the treat this time.

Those dishes look simple, but in fact, in order to be delicious, each dish needs a lot of salt to marinate.

Pickling is different from stir-frying. All the salt in stir-frying is eaten, but a part of pickling is always wasted.

Luo Shixing could see from the top of Yantian that he did not have the ability to control remote properties, so let's take his time.

Ale really didn't expect the little lynx to be so clear-headed. Originally, he thought that if the little lynx wanted iron ore, it wouldn't be impossible. The iron ore under him was not suitable, wouldn't he go for it?

As a result, the little lynx never expected him to reject him and only chose ore.

Alzhen directly agreed, "This is simple, how much raw ore do you want?"

Luo Shixing turned to look at Cheng Jingwei and said, "Let Ah Wei talk to you."

Well, he just needs to make a decision on what they need, and it's better to leave the negotiation to Cheng Jingwei.

Cheng Jingwei took a step forward and said with a smile, "If Da Ling doesn't want to waste time, he can send someone who can make decisions to talk to me."

Al really glanced at him and then at Luo Shixing, he didn't understand why the little lynx trusted this man so much?

This is equivalent to handing over all the wealth to this person. Although it is said that we are in trouble together, but they are still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

He had to find a way to remind the little lynx to be careful not to trust others too much, what if he was murdered for money?

He thought about this in his heart, but he promised: "Okay, I will ask Tusheng to talk to you later."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Shixing and said, "Tu Sheng is my subordinate who specializes in managing these minerals."

Luo Shixing nodded and asked, "By the way, brother, what's the matter here?"

They are so far away from the county government, it's not an important thing, Alezhen will definitely not make this trip in person.

Soybean oil was only squeezed out today, and their activities were all on their own land, and no one ran out, let alone came to inquire about the news—the surrounding trees were almost cleared, and the slope here was relatively gentle , compared with the plains, it is only a little bit worse.

There were really people who sneaked over and they could see them at a glance from the third floor. For this reason, Cheng Jingwei had arranged for people to blow those people away many times, and gradually no one dared to come.

So Ale really definitely didn't come here because of soybean oil.

Only then did Alezhen come to his senses and remembered that he had something to do to come here, and he couldn't help but said: "I almost forgot, last time the elders wanted to use the opportunity of the housewarming banquet to discuss something with you. "

Luo Shixing was puzzled after hearing this: "Then why didn't they say anything?"

Watching these people eat and drink the whole time, Luo Shixing wondered if these people had been hungry for several days just to eat a big meal.

He really thinks these people can do it!

Ale was really embarrassed when he heard it, and said in a low voice, "Isn't that... the dishes are really delicious."

Luo Shixing was expressionless: "It's still my fault."

Al really smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, everything is over."

Luo Shixing rolled his eyes and led him into the house, telling Xiao Shanshi as he walked, "Sanniang, wait and take someone to pack things up."

After entering the house, it is natural to talk about things in the main hall.

Ale really has to feel that sometimes the surrounding environment can also affect people's emotions, at least if they sit on bamboo chairs and talk about things in the bamboo house, it always gives Ale a feeling that it is not formal enough, and the words will be casual Some.

But the main hall of Luo Shixing's new house is very serious, even if Luo Shixing is smaller, it still looks like that when he sits on it.

It's just...why can Cheng Jingwei always sit beside him?Is the other chair just for him?

As the county magistrate, Alzhen had nothing to say when he was under the command of the high priest, but Cheng Jingwei was also there, which made him have some complaints.

But Ale really knew that it was best not to get entangled in this matter. If he disagreed with those elders, the little lynx would definitely stand with him, but if he had a disagreement with Cheng Jingwei, then the little lynx would probably stand with Cheng Jingwei.

Now is not the time, just wait a little longer, when the little lynx grows up, these two people will never be so close forever.

He put this matter aside for the time being, and said: "There is still one month before the Star Return Festival, what the elders mean is to select priests before then, even if there are less than [-] priests, it doesn't matter, after all, we can't let you alone at that time." People support the audience."

Luo Shixing calculated with his fingers, and found that the Spring Festival here was exactly half a month earlier than that in the Central Plains, and the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was their Spring Festival.

However, according to the season, this day cannot be called the Spring Festival. After all, the rainy season has not arrived, and it is not a suitable day for farming.

Reminiscent of the translation of the name of the other party's festival is Xinghui Festival, it probably has something to do with astrology.

In the astrology, it is said that in the twelfth lunar month, all the trajectories of the stars will return to almost the same situation as last year's twelfth lunar month, so the term "star return" came into being.

Luo Shixing thought about these things and asked, "I don't know what we're going to do at the Xinghui Festival here."

Alezhen began to explain to him that on the day of the Xinghui Festival, everyone would go to the mountains to sing folk songs during the day, and dinner would be eaten at each house. Immediately burn incense and light candles, and gather around the altar to place sacrifices, then women carry bamboo buckets to the river to fetch "new water" for auspiciousness, while men light all the braziers in the county to welcome the Vulcan.

Luo Shixing listened very seriously, as if he was learning about folk customs.

He listened to him and smiled slightly. The customs of celebrating the New Year sounded similar to those of the Zhuang people in later generations. He had heard that the Ouluo people were the origin of many ethnic groups in later generations, including the Zhuang people.

Some of the customs are different, which is probably due to the changes over thousands of years.

After Alezhen finished chanting: "According to the legend of our family, after lighting the brazier in the county, priests are required to dance a prayer dance to welcome the Vulcan. Usually, the high priest leads ten priests to dance up."

Luo Shixing was very calm. Anyway, he skipped it once, and it's okay to skip it a second time.

He just felt a little bit sorry for a nation without writing. There is no writing to record history, and everything has to be passed on by word of mouth. Things from a hundred years ago have now become legends.

Luo Shixing asked, "So the point is to choose a priest?"

Alzhen said: "There are still people who offer sacrifices, this one must be chosen carefully."

Luo Shixing said directly: "How did you arrange it before? This year it's still arranged like that."

According to his understanding of the family property of the Ouluo people, the family who can produce so many sacrifices must have a rich family background, and it feels like he has to choose among those few rich people.

This is a job that offends people and makes them bleed profusely. It is estimated that no one wants it, so it is better to follow the previous rules.

Al was really helpless: "According to the sequence, I should be released this year, but the problem is that they all objected and fought over this matter."

When he said this, he even emphasized: "It is true that a fight has already started. The third son of the first elder and the fifth son of the fifth elder's family are both injured and lying on the bed."

Luo Shixing was startled: "Huh?"
