Chapter 597 The Taste of Hometown

Luo Jinan still remembers what Su Teng Village looked like at the beginning.

That was last year when Luo Jinan went to Suteng Village.

At that time, the villagers of Su Teng were simple and honest, people were very nice, and everyone would help each other with anything.

Anyone who can't afford to eat will borrow some food.

But at that time, everyone in Su Teng Village was very poor, and many people only ate two meals a day.

I still eat porridge. Even if I eat wild vegetables, I can’t bear to put oil, salt and eggs.

At that time, the Su family was almost like this.

And the bodies of many elderly people are not as tough as they are now.

Walking on the street, most of the people I see are yellow-faced and thin, and the clothes they wear are patched with patches.

Some are still broken.

That is the norm.

But it’s different now. Now every household in Su Teng Village eats well, three meals a day, and the amount of food is sufficient.

Many people start wearing down jackets and duvets in winter because they can afford them.

Everyone still buys something delicious from time to time to go back and improve their diet.

Besides, everyone looks better now.

There are people in the village who are not in good health, and they are all cured now.

Even some old people have become tougher, and those who are not blind or deaf can walk very vigorously.

The mental outlook is completely different.

Now people in Su Teng Village are richer than other villages, because when Su Binglan first recruited people to work, they gave priority to recruiting people from Su Teng Village.

Everyone receives wages and bonuses every month, and life is getting better and better.

In fact, it is only when you have spare money in your hand that you are willing to buy something to eat.

Willing to eat eggs.

Eggs were the most precious thing in the past, and everyone was reluctant to eat an egg.

Now many adults will let their children eat eggs even if they are reluctant to eat eggs.

Su Binglan thought about the changes in Su Teng Village and the surrounding villages, and was quite emotional, and said, "Let's not talk about Su Teng Village, even our Su family has changed a lot."

But seeing how happy her parents were, she felt that everything she did was meaningful.

Although the war was over, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan also helped Lan Ruozhu deal with the follow-up matters.

After that, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan will go back to Su Teng Village.

They are going back to prepare for Chinese New Year.

Lan Ruozhu, as King Ding, naturally can't stay in Suteng Village all day, he wants to be in Fucheng.

This is also convenient to deal with some things.

Furthermore, Fucheng is the fortress of Dingzhou. If he sits here, Dingzhou will be safer.

But in the few days of Chinese New Year, Lan Ruozhu decided to go to Su Teng Village to spend time with his sister and godfather and godmother.

That way the New Year has an atmosphere.

Lan Ruozhu began to look forward to it.

Of course, he has to quickly arrange all the things in Dingzhou, and pour out the time, so that he can stay for a few more days in the first month.

And he also has to seize the time to take the land from Dingzhou to Bianzhou into his own hands and become his turf power.

These places can let my sister feel at ease to plan and arrange how to develop.

He knew his sister was good at doing this.

He also believes that his sister will bring an unexpected surprise to her.

…

When Su Binglan and Luo Jinan went from Fucheng to Suteng Village, they would see bright smiles on the faces of the people as they passed by.

There are many people who set up stalls to sell things and go shopping.

Everyone still talks from time to time.

"It's better for us to Dingzhou, stable and safe."

"No, I heard that there is chaos outside and there are still wars."

"There were people who wanted to attack our Dingzhou before, but our King Ding was so powerful that those people who couldn't attack and retreated."

"It's safe now, there's news from the yamen, so don't be afraid, what to do."

"Don't be afraid. We hid at home some time ago and didn't go out anywhere. I didn't expect it to be fine. Now it's better, Dingzhou is safe."

"Some time ago, the streets were deserted, and the shops were closed when you came to buy something."

"Let's do it well. I heard that the price of food outside is very high. Many people can't buy food, or the food is robbed, and they starve to death."

"Tsk, it's better for us in Dingzhou. I heard that King Ding has ordered that the price of grain cannot rise. If any businessman dares to rise, the yamen will arrest them, but we ordinary people can't buy more, there are records."

"Also, foreigners can't buy food from us and sell them outside, and even more local people can't. I heard that once they find out and arrest them directly, their family members will also be expelled from Dingzhou. There are also rewards for reporting, so that everyone can Don't dare to mess up."

"We will live a good life here in Dingzhou in the future. We won't be able to fight here anyway, so it's safe."

"Yes, yes, we can have a good year, and we will recognize the king."

…

Hearing what the people were talking about along the way, Su Binglan also had a smile on her face.

In fact, the common people don’t care much about who is in charge and who is in power. What they care more about is whether they can have enough food and clothing without the war.

When Su Binglan and Luo Jinan walked back, they passed through several cities in Dingzhou, and they all saw Su Ji Luwei Store.

"This is Uncle and Aunt's lo-mei shop."

Su Binglan's eyes lit up, she felt very kind when she saw the lo-mei shop of her uncle and aunt.

She hasn't been home for a long time.

Actually, I miss my relatives too.

Luo Jinan looked at Su Binglan's expression and asked warmly, "Want to eat?"

Su Binglan nodded, "Well, it should have the taste of hometown."

Luo Jinan dismounted and said, "Let's go, let's buy some and eat at the dumpling shop next to us."

Su Binglan also got off the horse and said, "This is a good idea."

Lu Mei shop is a small shop, but there are quite a lot of lo mei.

When they passed, there were people lining up in front.

Luo Jinan and Su Binglan tied their horses beside them and went to line up.

"Aunt Wang, give me two catties of pork head and some dry intestines."

Mr. Wang, who is in charge of Su Ji Luwei Store, smiled and started to cut the pork head and weighed it, then took a few dry sausages and calculated the price together.

The young man paid the money, took the pork head and dried sausage, and said with a smile, "Thank you Aunt Wang, I have given you more pork."

Wang said: "They are all old customers. You often come to buy, I will naturally give you more."

"My daughter-in-law likes to eat, so I'll buy more when I get paid."

The young man has some craftsmanship. He follows the master to make jewelry. The craftsmanship is good. He can receive wages every month, so he is willing to buy these things and go home.

"Good boy."

The woman behind saw Wang and said politely, "The shopkeeper, bring me two dry sausages."

The woman was dressed in patches, and looked very plain, with a dark face, and she wrapped the copper coins in a small piece of cloth.

Carefully took it out and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

I was reluctant to buy these on weekdays, but this time I was thinking of buying New Year's goods before I was willing to buy two back.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Mrs Wang felt a little uncomfortable, so let's forget it.

Many people are similar to this woman, and they are reluctant to buy more, so they just buy some and go back to celebrate the New Year.
