North and South groceries

The porters who went to Ningshuo County to deliver canned food returned to Lishi County in the past few days and brought back a lot of dried meat. Many people in the city bought some. It is a little bit more expensive than fresh mutton, but it is very cost-effective.

According to what he said before, Luo Yong really bought a lot. He took them to the workshops of his house, put the sauce and frozen tofu, reeds, cabbage and cabbage to cook, and cooked a big pot of fragrant rice. Mixed vegetables.

The workers and craftsmen each received a bowl, and with such a bowl of hot mixed vegetables, they could eat a few more mixed noodles pancakes. Of course, this was not a good thing for Luo Yong.

The working meals of these workshops are now cooked in two places, one is in the east of the village, and the cement workshop and the Eucommia glue workshop are combined for eating.The other is on the west side of the village, near the sheep shed. The craftsmen who came from Chang'an City recently, as well as the craftsmen hired by Luo Yong, are all on that side.

Most of the people who are in charge of cooking are the family members of Luo Yong's disciples. Cooking is a good job. Don't mention it, you must eat first, so the people who are in charge of cooking are all relatively moist. There are very few dry, yellow and shriveled ones.

After cooking for such a long time, they have also gained experience now. They are good at their craftsmanship, and the food is getting better and better. Sometimes Luo Yong and the others are too lazy to cook, so they go to these two places to eat big pot meals.

"Hey, Goro Goro, tell your brother, don't make dinner today, come to the cement workshop to eat." On this day, Goro was squatting by the ditch washing his goose feather pen. The woman carrying the load passed by and said to him.

"What do you want to eat over there tonight?" Goro looked up and asked her.

"Eating stewed meat, they bought a lot of offal from the village in front of them just now, and they will be stewed later." The woman said with a smile.

"Oh, then I'll tell my elder brother." Goro smiled when he heard that he was going to eat lo-mei.

He has also eaten braised meat, and Luo Yong has made it for them before, but because it is more troublesome to make, he usually only makes it once in a while.

"Hey, then you should come here sooner." The woman carried the burden and walked away with a smile.

Wulang shook the goose feather bamboo pen in his hand, stood up from the side of the ditch, and soon entered Xu's guest house, and told Luo Yong about it.

Luo Yong is not making dumplings at the moment, but is teaching a few merchants to recognize Arabic numerals.

Because the business of frozen dumplings was really doing well, the aunt called two more people over, one was Ersao Lin's elder sister, and the other was Sister Lin's sister-in-law.

Originally, Lin Chunqiu's daughter-in-law also wanted to introduce her sister-in-law, but the aunt refused to accept it. Earlier, she wanted to use her in-laws to suppress her, but now she wanted to use her job to sell favors to her brother-in-law. She's really good-natured.

These two newcomers are also good at work, they are very diligent and willing to obey the arrangements. The old lady and his wife have never asked them to do something, and they have never shied away.

After all, the Luo family is treated very well here, and they all want to work here forever. Seeing that the business of frozen dumplings is so good, don’t they have to ask for help every winter in the future? There is work to do in winter.

With the addition of these two people, Luo used them a lot to relax. He only went to help when he was too busy, and he didn't care much about it on weekdays.

Luo Yong is still teaching people arithmetic. The two of them, Si Niang and Wu Lang, are relatively free recently. Apart from learning arithmetic, they just take Liu Lang and Qin Niang with them. It seems that I just watch him wandering around all day long, and Luo Yong doesn't care about it. Every child should relax when he should relax.

Hearing that today he is going to eat braised meat at the cement workshop, Luo Yong is also very happy. He hasn't eaten braised meat for a long time, and he also has a weird idea, but he is really too lazy to do it.

Previously, the Xu Erlang brothers were also considering whether to make braised meat, but considering that their guest house is only so big in total, and it is not located in any prosperous area, these dishes are basically enough for the customers in the store to choose from. If you make too much, some dishes will not be able to ensure sufficient freshness, and it is easy to hoard leftovers. Finally, think about it or forget it.

In the afternoon, Luo Yong and the others were in class, and there was a burst of stewed vegetables outside, and finally made it to the end of get out of class, Luo Yong and the others went over with their own jobs.

"Sanlang is here, come and taste how our brine is doing today?" A woman over there who was making pancakes with noodles saw Luo Yong coming, so she put down her work and went out of the pot with him. Pick up braised vegetables and eat them.

She scooped up a large piece of pork belly from the pot, picked it up with chopsticks, picked up a pair of scissors from the side, and cut the large piece of pork belly into small pieces with a few strokes. He piled thin strips, and then used a big spoon to make some hot soup from the pot, poured it on top, and handed it to Luo Yong and the others.

The pork belly has been boiled in the pot for two or three hours at this time, and it is a bit soft and rotten. It is hot and just taken out of the pot. It tastes really good. The small half bowl of stewed pig After a few bites, the brothers and sisters of the Luo family ate it up.

Luo Yong didn't treat himself as a guest, and didn't let others continue to greet him, so he picked up food from the pot, such as pig intestines and pig ears, and he could fish whatever he wanted. Besides the water, there were still a lot of beans in the pot. Dry, this dried tofu tastes very good when marinated, and there is also frozen tofu, which has absorbed enough marinade, and the marinade is full of collagen boiled with pig's head meat and pig's trotters. Beautiful.

"Eat more, and I'll boil some reed leaves with you." Those women repeatedly asked the Luo family brothers and sisters to eat more. No matter how much you eat, you can't eat much at all.

The reed leaves are also radish shoots, cut them up and put them in boiling water with a little marinade, and the blanched radish shoots are green and refreshing, and it tastes very refreshing, no need to add salt, because the brine There is oil and salt in the juice.

This afternoon, the brothers and sisters of the Luo family had a serious addiction to a handful of stewed vegetables. By the time the workers got off work, their stomachs were already full. Call back here.

When they got home, they lit the kang, and it was already dark. The brothers and sisters were full and didn't want to do anything. They were all on the kang, yawning once and for all.

"Brother, I want to eat canned food." After a while, that boy Liu Lang said again.

"Still eating?" Luo asked with a smile.

"I want canned food!" Qiniang's little girl also booed.

"Okay, eat canned food." Luo Yong didn't feel sorry for the canned food. He carried a porcelain jar from the window next to him, took a few more ceramic bowls, and shared a small bowl with each of them.

The children of the Luo family also like to eat canned food. Luo Yong opened a canned orange two days ago, and each of them gave them a small bowl, and put the rest on the window sill, where it will not be too cold to freeze. , and it will not be so hot that the food will go rancid quickly, but it is a good place to put food.

A bean-sized oil lamp was lit in the room, and the brothers and sisters of the Luo family were full of food and warm, sitting around a kang table and eating canned oranges.

They live in an ordinary adobe house, which is somewhat comfortable now. The kang is burning, and bursts of warmth come from the surface of the kang. The light is a little dim, but Luo Yong doesn't think it is too dark. I can't see clearly, but it seems to make the room a little warmer.

The children in the family used to go to bed early, and they ate enough today, and now they want to sleep a little bit more. The two little ones, Liu Lang Qiniang, yawned while eating canned food.

"Shustle after eating, go to bed quickly." Luo Yong urged them.

"Brother, the stewed vegetables are really delicious." Qiniang's little girl is still thinking about the stewed vegetables that she just ate.

"I know." Luo Yongcai didn't answer her words, and said next time my brother will cook with you, how troublesome it is to make this braised vegetables.

"Brother..." The little girl called out again.

"What for?" Luo Yong asked her.

"..." She didn't speak, but yawned, and dozed off as soon as she drooped her head.

Luo Yong looked funny, but he didn't bother her. He wrapped the little girl in a coat and carried her to their own bedroom next door to let her sleep.

Now they have several brothers and sisters, Si Niang and Qiniang share the same room, Wu Lang and Liu Lang share the same room, and Luo Yong sleeps in the same room by himself. When there is nothing to do on weekdays, those little ones always like to stay here with Luo Yong. Staying here, especially before going to bed every night, I have to stay here until I feel sleepy before going back.

These few little ones have been staying with Luo Yong all the time, so naturally they will squeeze Luo Yong's personal space. In the past, Luo Yong thought he valued this very much, but now it seems that it is probably because he did not really care about it before. close people.
