A few days later, Guo An returned to Taiyuan City and told the elders of the clan what he saw and heard from Lishi County, as well as the entire process of dealing with Na Luo Sanlang, all of them came one by one.

From the meeting between the two sides until the business was completed, Luo Sanlang asked Guo An unceremoniously for a deposit. The reactions of the people present were different, some were amazed, and some were dissatisfied. After all the passages were finished, someone smiled and said, "It's not disappointing his name as a coffin board."

"Na Luo Sanlang is probably not a thing in the pool, don't think too much about anything else, just make friends with him." Guo An's father said.

"I think that's just a person who doesn't have enough oil and salt. It's not that easy to get along with him." Someone on the side expressed different opinions.

"According to your opinion, would you want to get into evil with him?" Guo An's father was dissatisfied with the other party's refutation of his opinion.

"What are you doing when you have nothing to do?" the other party muttered, not saying anything more. Obviously, he is not as good as Guo An's father in this Guo family.

"So, this transaction will be handed over to Shiwulang. When the delivery period is reached, you will send the 150 hu of beans to Xipo Village. After the fermented beans, you will be given to Chang'an and handed over to your uncle." An old man present made a decision.

Guo An agreed respectfully, so the matter was decided. The Guo family in Taiyuan also operated in Chang'an. This batch of 550 cans of fermented bean curd, needless to say, it must be used to give it to others.

At this time, Luo Yong had ordered a batch of tofu from the villagers, and cut them into small pieces in two empty houses in the backyard to start cultivating mold.

Now the houses in their yard have been built, opposite to the five houses in front, and five houses are built against the wall behind, and there are three on both sides. The five houses in front are mainly used for living, while the ones in the back are basically used for work and stuff.

The large courtyard in the middle is divided into a field shape by Luoyong, with two roads horizontally and vertically for people to pass through. Other places are prepared to place sauce jars. If you want the sauce flavor, you have to dry it.

In the middle of the front row, Luo used the original room to open a door leading to the backyard, and other places were blocked tightly. From now on, if you want to go from the front yard to the backyard, you can only pass through the door of this room. Although it is inconvenient, it is conducive to confidentiality.

The house in the middle has now been converted into a living room, which is used as a place for meals and entertainment. Luo Yong's bedroom has been moved to the new house beside the kitchen, beside the wall. In addition, Shiro and Goro have also been moved out of Erniang and the others' house and moved to the newly built room next door, which is the original location of the tofu shed.

In the past few days, Luo used it in addition to making fermented bean curd, but he squatted in the backyard to beat it. The wool and wool that he had dyed had been retrieved. He took all the wool to Erniang's side, and kept the wool for himself.

Luo Yong had never done something like wool felt before, but he knew a little bit of the principle, which was nothing more than making the wool felt feel through actions such as pounding and puncture crushing, forming a sheet or other shapes. After Luo Yong had tried it, he found that combining pounding and puncture can often achieve better results.

"Brother, have you made another mat?" At the convenience store, Si Niang and the others were very happy to see Luo Yong coming here with a wool felt mat. The mat she made was so beautiful.

"Well, I'll do it carefully as I did last time. Do you know?" Luo handed the mat in his hand to Si Niang, then took a jar from the shelf beside him, grabbed a wooden sign from it, and distributed them to the children present.

Although the construction of the Luo family's yard has been completed and the adults have left, the children are still there. Luo Yong doesn't drive them away. Although he has no special skills to make money and have stable income except fermented bean curd, it's not a big deal to provide these children with a lunch, and they can help.

Luo Siniang took the newly made mat of her brother, opened it and saw that it was a cluster of pink and white flowers, made of tender green wool as the base. The light white petals were slightly pink, so thin that they could almost see the green on the background, while the pink buds looked solid and thick.

"What kind of flower is this?" Luo Siniang didn't know this flower, she just thought it was very beautiful.

"This is Haitang." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"Wow! It turns out it is a crabapple, it looks so beautiful!" A group of children sighed repeatedly. When they grew up so big, they had seen several kinds of vegetable flowers and wild flowers around the village. They had never seen crabapple flowers before. At this moment, they saw that the crabapple was so beautiful.

Seeing these children's admiration, Luo Yong also felt a little accomplished, and it was worth the lot of effort he had spent in the past few days.

There are several books on flowers in his space, which are second-hand books sold by students majoring in garden art. These books have helped Luo Yong a lot now. In the past two days, he has been drawing patterns according to the patterns on those books.

After drawing the patterns, you have to divide the colors into pieces. How many colors are there in a flower? How many colors are there on his hand? If some colors are not available for a while, you have to use other colors instead.

And like this crabapple today, you need to work harder in terms of the thickness of the color. In some places, the white wool is thin, in some places, the white wool is thick, and in some places, the white wool is mixed with some pink in it, which is really harder.

Fortunately, Mr. Xue’s dyeing technology is quite powerful. Luo Yong was originally worried that the technology of this era is limited, and the pink and light yellow dyed will be a bit confused. Unexpectedly, the result is much better than he thought.

For these wools, Mr. Xue and his team also need to undergo a series of bleaching treatments and then dye them. In addition, the purity of the dye is relatively high, so the dyed color looks very clean and full.

After seeing the finished product, Luo Yong only felt that the 600 cents was worth it. It was not easy for people these days. I don’t know how much time it takes to eliminate the costs of dyes and other costs. The remaining profits in the end are relatively limited.

After getting the wool back, Luo Yong also conceived a lot of patterns, streamlined geometric shapes. After thinking about it over and over again, he decided to make flowers.

Unlike people in their previous lives who were tired of seeing all kinds of flowers, people at this time can basically only see bright flowers when they are in season. As for embroidery on clothes, it will take a lot of labor and it is not easy, so the patterns of flowers should still be very marketable in this era.

Poor Luo Sanlang, a person who has never learned to draw in his two lives, has been trying to figure out the petals, leaves, and lines these days, so he has even tried his best to get rich. He dreamed of dreams in the middle of the night, and all he dreamed of were all kinds of flowers.

Hard work pays off. The cushion with the crabapple pattern I made today looks a bit like that. Luo Yong is quite satisfied with his work.

The peony yesterday was far from that. The peony petals were too many, and he didn't master it well. The flowers he made looked dull, but Si Niang and the others didn't understand it. When they saw the bright colors, they only praised them for their beauty.

"It's okay to be tighter, take it slowly." Luo Yong instructed the children surrounding the low table and poked the wool felt mat with bamboo sticks.

"Well." Goro and the others didn't raise their heads, as if they thought this job was very interesting.

Luo Yong smiled, then sat down on the edge of the kang, moved his arms, and said a few words to the group of children on the kang from time to time.

Looking at his appearance at this time, his black hair was tied into a bun, and his forehead was naturally scattered with some broken hair, making the young man become more and more tender. This is clearly a clear boy, and there is no way he looks like a coffin board.

·

The fact that Luo Sanlang used wool to make beautiful flowers patterns soon spread in the village. Some villagers also took a break from their busy schedule to watch the fun. When they saw it, they were indeed amazed.

They were not optimistic about Luo Sanlang's wool transaction before, but they didn't expect that the other party could make the wool look like this. They really couldn't accept it.

Some people are also itchy and want to learn it, but after hearing about the money Luo Sanlang spent to dye these wools, he had nothing to worry about. With so much money, it would be better to buy a few more acres of land and buy a cow.

As soon as the number of people increased, the Luo family's yard became lively again. During the chat, many villagers said that the tofu was good recently and the money and grain were earned. Even though there were so many bean dregs left, they couldn't finish eating and feeding chickens. It was a pity to throw them away, and it was useless to keep them.

Then someone asked Luo Yong if there were any bean dregs in his house. If someone wanted them, they also wanted to sell the bean dregs they saved.

Luo has no good solution to this bean dregs for a while. His family still has a lot of dried bean dregs, and it is not enough to make soy sauce. Besides, the dried bean dregs will taste less good than fresh bean dregs after being left for a long time.

Almost every household in the village is making tofu now, and many bean dregs are made every day. How to consume so many bean dregs and make them economic benefits is indeed a problem.

Luo Sanlang thought for a while, and then said to the villagers: "It's better to raise some pigs."

" Raise pigs?" The villagers were a little hesitant. Now they are making tofu at home, and guests come and go every day. If they set up a pigpen in the yard, they will definitely produce many dirty and unpleasant smells, which will definitely have a bad impact on the tofu trading.

In the eyes of these villagers, raising pigs is not as good as raising sheep. Raising sheep is better. Just let the children at home drive the flock of sheep on the slope, which is easier and less stinky.

"Sanlang, do you want to raise it?" the villager asked Luo Yong.

"Well, I want to raise it." Luo Sanlang nodded.

"How much do you plan to raise?" the villager asked again.

"Do you want to sell the bean dregs to me?" Luo Sanlang asked with a smile.

"If Sanlang wants it, just fold some fermented bean curd and soy sauce." Seeing him say this, the villagers were very happy. If this matter is done, they would not have to spend money to buy the fermented bean curd and soy sauce they would eat at home in the future.

"Okay, I will exchange fermented bean paste with you in the future." Luo Sanlang was also very happy. fermented bean paste and other things don't cost much.

For Luo Yong, although the mutton is also very good, it is not as fat as pork. In the 21st century, when I ate pork every day, I didn’t think it was anything. Now when I came here, I found that people here were not popular to eat pork. The longer he went, he missed the dishes made of pork in his previous life.

However, no one raises pigs in their village, but there are several sheep. Some people slaughtered sheep during the Chinese New Year. The first time the Luoyi was too late, he caught a large intestine of sheep. The second time someone killed sheep, so he went there early to wait, and then lifted a front leg and a small rib of sheep at home.

This year is not as good as in previous lives. I bought a piece of meat today and bought a piece of bone tomorrow. It is rare for someone to slaughter sheep. After this village, there is no such store. You can buy more in winter. You can't finish it for a while and you don't have to worry about it. You hang it under the eaves and it will freeze the next day.

Compared to mutton, pork is not easy to buy. No one in the village raises pigs, so you have to go to the city to buy some meat. Before the New Year, Luo Yong happened to help people with the kang in the city. When he came back, he brought a large piece. Now he has eaten it clean and there is not even a piece of oil left. They used to make fried noodles at home every now and then, and the oil consumed very quickly.

When the villagers heard that Luo Yong wanted to collect beans and raise pigs, they all ran to help him build a pigpen. The location of the pigpen was on the flat ground under the slope of the Luo family's yard, not far from the village road, and a little further away from the house, so as not to get angry.

As for the safety of those pigs, there is no need to worry about it. The villagers often ask the children at home to go out to herd sheep. Sometimes when they are put, the children don’t know where to put the sheep. Adults run out to find it and can always find it back. I rarely hear of the fact that there are thrown sheep. The customs of the people these days are pretty good. I heard that there are also bandits elsewhere, but in their area, even thieves are rare.

The pigpen is also simple, and it is made of wood and other things, and then it is made with a few grass pieces to block the rain. There are four pig pens in total. Luo Yong plans to raise eight pigs first, in two pieces.

At present, this pigpen is a little simpler, because everyone is making tofu every day now, and they are already busy. They are about to enter the spring plowing again. It is already very thoughtful to come to help him repair the pigpen. It is really not suitable to make more requirements. After this autumn, the weather will be cold. Luo Yong will watch and upgrade the pigpen at that time.

After repairing the pigpen, everyone discussed buying piglets. Now the people in Xipo Village have contacts with many villages because of the tofu business. The news is very informed. They are very clear about where there are pigs and which pig farmer has piglets at home. Who is more kind and who is more cunning, and they are basically clear about it.

The eight piglets I bought in the end were very good. They looked strong and the price was quite good. The eight piglets were not cheap together. Luo Yong didn’t have much money now, but fortunately, the other party was willing to collect grain. Luo Yong has saved a lot of food recently. He sells fermented bean curd and soy sauce at home. Many people exchanged the food for it. He had to make cakes for sale on the five or three days of the month, and he could get a lot of food.

Eight piglets, seven boars and one sow, the price is also different. The sows are expensive and boars are cheap. Luo Yong usually wants this time, and only picks one female one, intending to keep the seeds. One sow can have cubs for many years, and a litter can have several. Luo Yong Yong didn't plan to do it too large for a while, and one sow was enough.

Luo Sanlang's move made the pig seller a little confused. Most of the people who bought pigs from him used to choose sows, and then they used one or two boars to breed. When these pigs grow up, all the sows can be given up, and they can be sold for money after they get rid of pigs. If they sell them together, wouldn't they earn more? Why is Luo Sanlang different from others?

Luo Yong naturally would not tell him that the reason he chose boars was for the convenience of castration, and it was so scary that such things were said.

The pigpen was repaired and the pigpen was in place. On that day, Luo Sanlang took his kitchen knife and went to the pigpen. Then the villagers heard the screams of the pigpens one after another.

Many villagers hurried to see what happened, but they saw the tragedy of Luo Yong, who was castrating all the boars in the pigpen with a kitchen knife. As for the boars left in the breed, it was unnecessary. At that time, they rushed to match with other people's boars and gave them a small red envelope. There was no need to raise another breeding pig.

"Sanlang, what are you doing?" The villagers were very frightened.

"I once heard someone accidentally that after raising this boar, it not only grows faster, but the pork I got in the end was also more plump and had no fishy smell."

Luo raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was under pressure for the first time in his life to do such a thing. There was really no way. Who else could he call him to do if he didn't do this? He couldn't call Erniang over again.

He put the last ball in the bowl, got up and walked out of the pigpen. At this time, his hands were covered in blood, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a bowl of balls in the other. It looked really scary, and everyone avoided it wherever he went.

"Is there such a thing?" Most of the villagers were in a complicated mood at this time, curious, frightened, and sighed. Unexpectedly, this young man who looked refreshed could be able to do such a move.

"That's right. I heard that there was a farm book that once mentioned this method, but it was not known to the world." Luo Sanlang walked outside the pigpen, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said to everyone: "This thing is very replenishable, do you want it?"

"I want it, I want it!" The villagers said they needed to get some supplements. Those who were scared and scared just now had no idea where the wind had blown away.

Speaking of which, any of these country men have never slaughtered their own roosters and hens, and some have killed pigs and sheep, and some have even returned from the battlefield, and have seen many bloody scenes.

But they had never thought about casting the living piglets before, and whenever they thought of them, they would unconsciously want to reach out to cover their important parts.

Since it was the method mentioned in the farm book, this kind of thing is actually not incomprehensible. It’s just castration. They were all watching just now. Luo Sanlang’s technique was very neat. He squeezed out the two eggs with one knife and then wiped the dust. It was over. A few days passed, and the pigs were still alive.
