Otherworldly Days

The night before going to bed, he was thinking about what he could make with goat milk, and when he got up the next day to milk the goat, Cao Xiangnan began to experiment. The goat milk soup made by the children liked it.He also baked biscuits and buns with goat's milk and flour. The ingredients used to cover up the smell of goat's milk also had a faint milky fragrance.

The child and Wanfeng Sun Bailian liked it very much, but Cao Gang didn't touch it when he smelled it. Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan ate a piece and said it tasted good.

So Cao Xiangnan knew that this kind of food was most liked by children and buddies, so he saved some of it for a few children to take to school for other children to eat, and he packed the rest to Yipinzhai.After discussing with shopkeeper Liu, these meals were sold as desserts in the morning tea, and the recipes made were kept. Cao Xiangnan knew that shopkeeper Liu would send someone to deliver them to Nanyang later, so he didn't need to take care of the rest.

Sun Ji wrote a letter, but simply said that they settled down in Nanyang, so he didn't have to worry about it, and asked him to talk to his father.In the letter, he told him that he was safe, and the rest was gone. Cao Xiangnan brought the letter to Sun Yanshan, telling him that Sun Ji was all right, and Sun Yanshan later took the message back to several other families.

Besides, when the boat docked that day, Sun Ji brought four people to Nanyang City. They were stunned by the prosperity of Nanyang City before they disembarked.Soon afterwards, Sun Ji withdrew his eyes, and his face returned to calm. He knew what he was here for, and woke up the rest of them, and took them off the boat.

When they arrived, there was someone sent by Shopkeeper Fang waiting here at the pier. After Sun Ji led his men to unload the goods from the ship, he went with that person to Yipinzhai to meet Shopkeeper Fang.

Things went well afterwards, among the four of them, shopkeeper Fang chose Sun Jing and Sun Sheng to stay at Yipinzhai to work, while Sun Bing and Sun Mao went to the supper stall.After a while they switch again.As for his words, he stayed in Yipinzhai to work during the day, and went to the supper stall to help out at night, so he was busy at both ends, and Sun Ji didn't have any objections to this.

A few of them went to Nanyang City and settled down.

It is already the middle of June, and it will be cold in three or four months, so before that, Cao Xiangnan needs to get a batch of winter clothes to keep warm.

He originally brought back a batch of cotton from Nanyang, but the quantity of this cotton is limited, so he will go to the village to collect wool, and go to various restaurants in the town to collect chicken feathers and duck feathers. Cao Gang went to get it, and Cao Gang expressed great enthusiasm for his making clothes.

Now the factory building is under construction, and it will take some time before it can be completed, so the place is still unusable.When the house was originally built at home, three rooms were left behind as warehouses. Only one room was used for storing things, and the other two rooms were empty. After tidying up and laying tables inside, it can be used as a small temporary workshop. up.

This time, Cao Xiangnan didn't plan to go to the cloth shop in the town to make clothes again. These people would leak his skills, not to mention his own.What he can control now is the cost of eating in the future, and he doesn't want to lose his job.

There are many brothers in the village who know how to make clothes. After all, there are no ready-made clothes for sale. Everyone buys cloth and makes clothes by themselves. These people have learned to make clothes since they were young. The craftsmanship is no worse than that of the embroiderer.Wu Yue is an expert at making clothes, Li Mei's craftsmanship is also good, they happen to be his own people, and Cao Xiangnan also asked them to find a few trustworthy acquaintances.

We found all the people and invited them over. Except for the brothers who often come to Cao Jiashilang's house, the others are coming here for the first time, so they are unavoidably nervous.It's not that they haven't seen Cao Jiashiro before, but today's Cao Jiashiro is no longer the Cao Jiashiro of the past.

Some brothers pulled their clothes shyly, feeling a little embarrassed by the patches on their clothes. "Sit down, everyone don't feel restrained." Naturally, Cao Xiangnan didn't know what these people were thinking, he wondered if he was so scary?He tried to keep his smile amiable.

Qi Wanfeng came over with some snacks and fruits, put the food on the table, just heard Fu Lang's words, he said with a smile, "You can eat whatever you want, just treat it as your own home."

These brothers in the village didn't know Qi Wanfeng before, but the changes in Qi Wanfeng now made them feel strange, and they felt a sense of inferiority from the bottom of their hearts.

Qi Wanfeng's figure is tall, tall and big like a man, plus his hard life in the past, he can't finish the work from morning to night, and he is thin and thin.But it is different now, he is pregnant now, his figure is round, and his whole body is much softer, now he doesn’t need to go out to bask in the sun, his whole skin is white, his body is in good condition, his face is rosy, and he has lived a good life Well, there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people think he is a good-looking person at a glance.

Fortunately, these few people who were recruited were brought here because they knew each other well, and their conduct was considered decent.Seeing that Qi Wanfeng married Cao Silang now, he is a blessed man, and he is living well. They have inferiority complex and envy in their eyes, but they are not jealous.

"Fulang, I'm out to work." Qi Wanfeng brought the things over, he knew that Fulang invited everyone to come over because he had something to say, and he didn't stay here, but his husband would also leave everything behind tell him.

Sun Bailian also went out with Qi Wanfeng, who told him he couldn't make clothes!So he can't come even if he wants to come now.

It is not absolute to say that my brother can make clothes. For example, Sun Bailian is a person who can't do needlework by nature, as long as she picks up a needle, she pricks her hand.But people are lucky, they have a good mother at home, they have a good husband when they get married, they never need him to make clothes, and their cooking skills are so-so, but the advantage is that their husband is proficient in everything and is willing to do everything .

In the past, those who said that Sun Bailian married someone who was so old, and then all the faces were slapped a few times, I don't see how happy people are living now.When his house is built, it will be as big as Cao Silang's house. I don't know how many people are envious of it.

Cao Xiangnan's eyes had been on him since Qi Wanfeng came in, and he didn't come back to his senses until he left.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Cao Xiangnan smiled slightly and said, "I believe everyone knows why I invite you here, but I still want to tell you here, if there is anything you don't understand, wait until I finish speaking." It can be brought up."

In fact, it is very simple. He invited everyone to come to make clothes. Everyone understands this, so everyone knows what they are doing here, and no one does not understand.

Then Cao Xiangnan talked about the "labor contract" with everyone. There is no such thing as a labor contract here, so he explained clearly to everyone, "I hire you to make clothes, and I will pay you the corresponding wages. If you do a good job , there will be extra wages every month. In addition, the wages will increase year by year for you.”

"But you must also be clear about one thing. If my clothes-making skills flow out of the hands of any of you, I will send that person to the government if something goes wrong at that time, and that person will compensate me for the loss. That may be hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels, so you have to understand this."

Take out the written documents that have been written in advance, and Cao Xiangnan reads them to everyone word by word.When there is no guarantee that these people must be sincere with him, this thing can play the most basic effect.This written document became the most basic prototype of the labor contract that he would establish later, which not only guaranteed the interests of the workers, but also guaranteed his own interests.

Everyone has never read a book, and they don't know the words on this piece of paper.But everyone understood what Cao Xiangnan said.

"And if you believe in me today, follow me, Cao Xiangnan, and sign on it, I will never treat you badly in the future. I can't guarantee that you will become landlords and rich people. As long as you work hard, I can guarantee that you will all be covered. Go to a green brick and big tile house and live a good life." Cao Xiangnan's words were also very sincere, without any bragging.

Cao Xiangnan's words were straightforward, and everyone knew that building a large tile-roofed house with green bricks was something that many of them dared not dream of in their lifetime. It was their dream to live a good life, and everyone was moved.

"I, Wu Yue, believe in Cao Silang. I don't know how to write, but I still know how to draw and mark. Xiangnan, I'll just put my handprint on it." Wu Yue stood up first, and he smiled and glanced at Cao Xiangnan. Seeing Cao Xiangnan nodding, he dipped his thumb in cinnabar and stamped a red seal on it.

Li Mei also stood up from behind, and also stamped her handprint without saying a word.

"I see that everyone who follows Cao Silang is living a good life. I, Sun Hongmei, believe in you Cao Silang today. I will cover this fingerprint!" Sun Hongmei is a delicate brother. Fu's cousin, he was found by Sun Bailian.

Seeing that Sun Bailian's life was getting better, he also had envy in his eyes, but he didn't expect the opportunity to find him so soon.At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart that as long as he signed this document, his family's life would be better in the future.

The three people in the front have all stamped their fingerprints, and there is no reason for the brothers in the back not to stamp their fingerprints. Otherwise, by then, everyone will be living in green brick and big tile houses, but their family still lives in a dilapidated mud house. Who can he cry to? go?This fingerprint cover must be covered!

It's just that Cao Xiangnan found that the group around him were all illiterate, and felt very painful, but all the red handprints were covered, he returned one to the other party, and took the other one, sincerely He said to everyone, "Thank you for believing in Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan is here to promise that everyone will live a good life in the future."

This matter went smoother than Cao Xiangnan expected, and almost no one had any doubts, so they all stamped their fingerprints.If this is to sell piglets, many piglets can be sold.But it is this trust that makes him work hard to live up to those who trust him in the future.
