Chapter 36 Buying Sheep
Xiao Yuenong nodded with a half understanding, Tang Zangyue said again: "When that man approached, can you smell him?"

"A smell of... oily smoke." Xiao Yuenong said uncertainly.

Tang Zangyue nodded, and said again: "It's a smell of oily smoke. It's not a temporary smell, but a long-term accumulation. There are thin calluses on his index finger and thumb, which is the result of checking something frequently. The hair is oily, but it's not the kind of hair that hasn't been washed for a long time, but the scalp. The face is not greasy from the girl's oil powder, and he asked me to call him Luo Zhangshi.

Grandma speculated that he must be the person in charge of the kitchen purchases of the rich family. "

Xiao Yuenong was stunned for a long time before bowing, "Xiao Wu has been taught."

"Of course, this is also my grandmother's guess. But that outfit is more or less inseparable. The rich family is on the job. It's better than anything else." After speaking, Tang Zangyue turned to Aunt Liu and said: "Sister, let's sell it here today."

Aunt Liu was also shocked by the weight of ten catties that was in charge. It happened that there was not much left in the jar, so she closed the stall early and joined hands with Tang Zangyue to carry the jar to the entrance of the town.

Tang Zangyue: "Fortunately, the family bought a lot of jars. My sister continued to make pickles, radishes and cucumbers according to the ratio of making pickles in the past, but the amount was more than before. If you can't sell it, you can put it at home."

Aunt Liu nodded, "Yes, old...sister." She was still a little unaccustomed to the change in address.

Back in Jiuli Village, Sister Ling, who was playing with stones under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, was stunned for a moment, then threw away the stones and rushed towards the bullock cart.

"Grandma, aunt, little aunt—"

Tang Zangyue didn't jump off the bullock cart, but Aunt Liu did.

Aunt Liu caught Sister Ling's small body, she said with lingering fear: "Little ancestor, please slow down, I'm afraid you won't hit the bullock cart, right?"

Xiao Yuenong also wanted to jump down, but was stopped by Tang Zangyue, "Wait until Uncle Zhao stops."

Tang Zangyue gave Uncle Zhao a wink, and the latter stopped the bullock cart steadily.The grandfather and grandson jumped down, Tang Zangyue said: "Uncle Zhao, you go back first, remember to go to the village chief's house for me, and bring over the vegetables I need today."

"Got it."

Sister Ling was in Aunt Liu's arms and asked curiously, "Grandmother, why did you come back so early today?"

Just as Tang Zangyue was about to go back, she saw the twins with sister Ling and a group of village children following up.

She looked at the group of children, they were a little sloppy, most of the clothes were made up of large patches or small patches, to put it bluntly, they looked like beggars.

Jiuli Village is really poor. If it weren't for the military camp stationed hundreds of miles away from the town, and a few caravans coming here from time to time, maybe she wouldn't even be able to run a business.

Tang Zangyue took out a bunch of candied haws from her cuff, and said to Sister Ling, "Go, share it with your friends."

She had heard from Xiao Yuenong that this group of children had a sense of propriety, and even though they got sweets, they took the Xiao family children to pick chestnuts and roast chestnuts in return.So Xiao Yuenong didn't stop Sister Ling from interacting with the children in the village. After all, she was from the village, and she planned to take root here in the next few years.

Sister Ling looked at the little aunt, who explained: "I'll be back after selling the things, play with your two brothers for a while, it's still early for lunch, I have to make clothes with my aunt, I don't have time to take care of you. "

When the cloth was bought, it was Aunt Liu who cooked food and made clothes in her spare time.Under Tang Zangyue's instigation, she taught the twins to sew clothes, but the man's mind was too jumpy, even Xiao Zhongran, who was calmer than the children of the same age, calmed down and worked hard to learn, but he learned something different, it was a waste of needlework, and Aunt Liu had to tear it apart Redo.

Naturally, Tang Zangyue herself never said a word about the twins, after all, she had also done it before, and she was worse than Xiao Zhongran.

The work of making clothes and sewing quilts can only fall on Aunt Liu and Xiao Yuenong.

Xiao Yuenong actually felt sorry for Aunt Liu, but the latter rarely smiled.

That smile was not a bit far-fetched, but natural.

Aunt Liu: "When the General's Mansion was still there, I always felt bored being bored in the house. However, just guarding you and Sister Ling, I feel at ease. Now I feel that I am alive and fulfilling. Tired is a little tired, but My aunt is happy to contribute to this family."

Tang Zangyue was also aware of Xiao Yuenong's care, and personally checked Aunt Liu's pulse, and finally said: "You are healthier than before."

Xiao Yuenong pondered for a long time, accepted the fact that the busier and more fulfilled my aunt is, the better her health will be, and she no longer prevents her from rushing in and out.

There is still meat at noon, but the family is beginning to adapt to the noodles in the north. They make noodles with mixed grains.

This is the favorite of the three main workers of the Xiao family. They can eat two large bowls, and they will be very hungry after eating. They don't have to look forward to what to eat in the evening all afternoon.

The juniors are not very used to pasta, and feel that there is no taste of rice grains, but wherever you go, you have to adapt to the life here, you can’t let the environment adapt to you, right?

In the afternoon, Tang Zangyue did not help with repairs, but did odd jobs with Aunt Liu, washing vegetables and then making pickles. Even the water tank she bought was used to make pickles.

At the end, she sighed, "The business is getting bigger, and things are not enough. Fortunately, after the expansion of the yard, there is plenty of land. Tomorrow, you and Xiaowu will look at the stall, and I will buy more jars. The miso and kimchi are still there. Do more and make more money."

As soon as she heard about making money, and that she had her share in the credit for making money, Aunt Liu was very motivated.Although he didn't say anything, he straightened his back and looked at Tang Zangyue with burning eyes.

Tang Zangyue thought for a while and said, "Good job."

Aunt Liu's face turned red, and she stammered, "Old Madam, I, I should, I should..."

When I came to the town, in addition to buying a kimchi jar, Tang Zangyue also had an unexpected surprise.

There were merchants who came and went to and from the Huns, and they brought their flocks of sheep to do business. Among them, there were many Han Chinese, and there were also Huns with poor Chinese.Because there is no big problem with the customs clearance document, and no other things were found, it will be passed for the development of both sides.If the war is tight, this will not happen, after all, ordinary people will also blame different races.

Mutton is still very precious, 40 Wen a catty, but pork is only 35 Wen a catty, which is a full five Wen more.

These sheep eat grass on the prairie, and healthy and normal adult ewes weigh 65 to 75 kilograms, which is enough to weigh.

An adult ewe is worth at least four taels of silver.

Tang Zangyue was worried.It's not because of the family background, but for the people in the town to buy it.

She asked, "How long will you be in town?"

The Hun businessman knew at a glance that this gorgeous-haired woman did not have a lot of money, and wanted to wait for the last few days to find out if the price could be lowered.

A woman like this from the Central Plains is used to torturing people.

Although the Xiongnu merchants were impatient, they did not dare to make troubles in the Han field, so they just waved their hands impatiently, "Three days, only three days."

Tang Zangyue smiled, "Okay, thank you for letting me know."

After saying that, she took the empty jar and returned to the town in Uncle Zhao's bullock cart.
