15. Rub the wool
When the new kang in Chen family was ready, the old man and the old lady were buried on the kang and refused to come down. They also sent the servants to invite many familiar old people to come over, prepare some food and snacks, and invite someone to come to his house to experience the warmth of the kang.
Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are all very fond of their grandson. Many people in Taiyuan City say that their grandson is not as good as martial arts, but is spoiled by the elders in the family, and is unable to succeed.
This time, my grandson got such a good object for them, so naturally they had to try their best to promote it. On the one hand, it was to give the grandson an image, and on the other hand, it was to show off. Look at how filial my grandson was, and I made such a good and warm kang for us. How about your grandson?
The old men and ladies who went to Chen’s house to experience a warm winter day trip to the Chen family, naturally envied them. Let’s not talk about the grandson of the Chen family for now, the warm kang is really warm.
So in the next few days, some families sent people to Lishi County to hire Master Pankang. Lishi County was poor and poor, but not very far from Taiyuan Prefecture. They passed by Taiyuan, first passed Fenyang and then to Lishi, which was less than 400 miles in total. If they were running horses, they would arrive in a few days.
As for the time they took the people to Taiyuan City, it was already the first lunar month, and more than half of this winter have passed. Who cares? Anyway, it will be a day to warm up. At this age, not everyone can live until the next winter.
The two dark and strong men who were brought to Taiyuan Mansion by the Chen family's young man naturally took the lead this time. In the days that followed, their business never stopped. There were still some high-ranking players who asked them to go over to play the kang. Even though they were excited, they never forgot what Luo Yong said at the beginning, and don't take what they shouldn't have to see, and don't take what they shouldn't have to take.
Those employers actually had communication. Seeing these two people's behavior, they praised them several times in private. The salary was paid so quickly and they were very relieved to introduce them to familiar families.

In Lishi County, Luo Yong went back to Xipo Village for the New Year with the money and grain they earned these days early and the gifts they gave them by many urban residents.
The return trip was a ox cart from the Lin family. I heard that they were back to the village today. Lin Dalang drove the ox cart to the county town early this morning. Lin Wulang has earned a lot of money and food in the city recently. The whole family can have a good New Year. What is it like to drive the car to pick them up?
Regarding the income from these days, several people discussed and decided to add half of the money and grain to Luo Yong, and the other half of them were divided by the three of them. Among them, Tian Chonghu was young and worked less, so naturally he had to pay less.
There are also some thank you gifts for people who have received when they help people to ride the kang, and when they help people to ride the kang, the owner sometimes gives other things, and whoever gets those things will be the ones. Needless to say, Luo Yong received the most of the things among the four people, and the other three people don't get much more than he alone.
When I left the city, I took the same road as before. There were still high and low adobe houses on both sides of the road. This Lishi County Town did not look like a prosperous place. But this time, these same scenery became a little more intimate in Luo Yong's eyes.
Even if it is poor and depressed, it is not as good as the bustling big cities outside, but it is Luo Sanlang's hometown and the hometown of Luo Yong. This Lishi County town was the place where Luo Sanlang's dream began, and it is also the first city that Luo Yong saw after this era.
The day they left the city, the wind was not very strong, and there were fine snowflakes floating in the sky. Such weather was very common in winter, but it was not very suitable for going out.
Many people in the city learned that Luo Sanlang and the others were going back to Xipo Village today, and they all came out to see him off. Another young lady hurriedly ran over from an alley next to him, stuffed two pairs of cloth shoes into Luo's arms, and then ran away in a hurry, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Luo Yong smiled and put away his shoes, but didn't say much. He knew that her brother and father had learned to play the kang from Luo Yong. Luo Yong had seen her several times, and every time he looked over, he saw a little girl with red face.
The little girl probably was moved by her heart, and Luo Yong did not express anything special about this. She did not deliberately approach or detach herself.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, she is the age of dreaming, so why not just let her dream arise? When the time comes, she will naturally wake up. Luo Yong hopes that when she thinks about this scene again many years later, she will still be smiling.
"Sanlang, are you going to get married, right?" Tian Chonghu's emotions were a bit too loud these days.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to ruin the reputation of that little lady." Luo Yong reminded him.
"Pretending to be that old master again." Tian Chonghu curled his lips.
It's strange that he and Luo Yong are four years apart. They grow up fast and are no shorter than Na Luo Sanlang. But these days in the city, all of them treat Luo Sanlang as an adult, and Tian Chonghu is treated as a little brat who runs errands.
"If you talk nonsense, I won't take you out next time." Tian Yong said to Tian Chonghu.
"I know, I won't talk nonsense." Tian Chonghu agreed honestly, and then said, "Uncle, let's come out to help people with kangs after the New Year?" Even if they can't receive business in Lishi County, they can still go to other counties and Taiyuan Prefecture.
"No." Tian Yong said, "Sanlang said he wanted to teach us to make tofu, but did you forget? Even though he could earn some money and food when helping people to make kangs, it was better to make tofu in the village. He was not as good as running around at home."
"Yes." Tian Chonghu said. He could watch his sister when he was not at home. Tian Chonghu was still worried that his parents would sell his sister to others as little girls when he was not at home. However, if he wanted to make tofu, in their family's situation, 80% of them would not compete with the rest of the village. Oh, I was worried...
It took several hours to ride the ox cart along the way. Lin Dalang and Lin Wulang were very happy to talk and laugh. Tian Yong and Tian Chonghu also had a common topic. Luo Yong didn't say much, and he was holding a large linen bag and having fun all the way.
The pocket was filled with soft and furry cashmere, which Luo Yong got from someone who asked them to put on the kang.
The family had made these cashmeres, intending to squish them into the quilt as the core. After Luo Yong helped them put the kang on the fire, the family's demand for cashmere quilts was not as urgent as before. When Luo Yong said that he wanted to even some cashmere from their hands, he agreed very readily.
Since Luo Yong came here, it has been very rare to see Luo Erniang and the others rub twine. The ermatille fibers and the twine rubbed through their hands can be thin, soft or strong. With such a skill, if you want to rub a few balls of wool, it would be like playing.
Earlier, when he looked through the computers in the space, he had seen some content about dyeing with natural plants, which could be used at this time.
Rub the wool and dye it with color, and then you can use it to make sweaters. Luo can use it to make a little more. When Grandma Luo used to make sweaters at home, Luo also whisked it a few times.
At that time, Luo Yong would just talk about the general principles to Aunt Luo Luo Erniang. I believe that with the cleverness of his two sisters, he would definitely be able to make sweaters.
The first thing Luo Yong wanted to do was a turtleneck sweater. How could a turtleneck sweater in the middle of winter? I believe that as long as he could make things, the people of the Tang Dynasty would definitely fall in love with turtleneck sweaters.
At that time, whether it is a short brown robe or a deep robe, you can match it with a turtleneck sweater. Just imagine the scene of the gentry students, with a turtleneck sweater inside and a cross-collar robe outside, and stalking on the road with their heads raised, Luo Yong couldn't help but be happy.
There are also those young men in Wuling who like to ride horses and stroll around. You can also try turtleneck sweaters. The horse's back is very cold. There are also officials who have to get up to court at four or five o'clock, which is not easy. In addition, I heard that the Tai Chi Palace where the emperor's family lives is also cold in winter and summer...
Turtleneck sweater, cashmere autumn pants, hehe.

After hearing from the villagers, Sanlang and his friends came back today, Luo Erniang and the others were waiting at home early in the morning, burning the kang in Sanlang's house early and packing the tofu slots he liked.
Siniang Wulang climbed the small slope next to his house several times, waiting for his brother to bring them delicious food. However, Erniang was a little worried. Although the county town was good, it was not her own. Sanlang had been outside these days, and I wonder if he had lost weight.
After finally waiting for the Lin family's ox cart to reach the yard, the sisters and sisters ran out to see that Luo Sanlang was lying in the ox cart with a linen bag, sleeping soundly, and covered with a lot of cloth and fur. It is said that they were all thanks from people from the city to Sanlang.
When he was sleeping soundly, he was woken up. Luo squinted his eyes and looked dumb. Seeing that he was sleeping red and looked very good, Ernie also didn't lose weight for a few days, but he seemed to have grown some flesh. He was very happy. When he saw that he was not awake, he asked him to go back to the house to continue sleeping.
Luo used this sleep until the next morning. He was only fourteen years old now, and it was time to eat more and sleep more to grow up.
I stayed up late a few days ago, so it would be better not to do that in the future. He wanted to grow a few centimeters, but he didn't want to grow into a short winter melon, but also wanted to live for a few more years, but he didn't want to be a short-lived ghost.
This trip to the city has a lot of harvest. Now that the family has meat and food, and has saved some money, I can finally settle down and live a life.
Take a wooden stick to the kitchen and stir the sauce jars one by one.
I heard that the sauce is dry, and the sauce produced is more fragrant than the sauce produced by the shade. However, the snowy outside is taken to the yard for one night and the sauce jar has to be frozen. Not to mention stirring with wooden sticks, even if you hit it with a stone, you may not be able to hit it.
Luo Sanlang was very worried whether this batch of dai sauce and soy sauce could be made successfully.
After breakfast, Luo Yong took out his bag of cashmere: "Sister, can you help me roll these into yarn?"
"Wool?" Erniang said in confusion. She had never heard of twine threads, but never heard of wool.
Chapter completed!
