Otherworldly Days

The children in the yard were all lying on the table writing big characters, making a lot of noise, even when adults watched them, they didn’t dare to run around, and they all sat there honestly writing big characters, and they all turned into a group of little cats Yes, there is a smear of ink left and right on the face.

"Jing Bao, you painted my face with a brush!" Kangkang, who lowered his head and wrote seriously, was scratched by a brush on his face. He reached out and touched it, and it was black.

His face, too, was black!

Jing Bao, whose face was like a little tabby cat, looked guilty, stretched out his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I'll wipe it for you."

Little did he know that the more he was rubbed by his brother, the darker he would be, both of his hands were covered in ink, and even after he rubbed it, his brother's face was stained.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone covered their stomachs and laughed when they saw Kangkang's face.

Jing Bao, who wanted to shrink into the corner, said, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to."

If you do it on purpose, I'll beat you up!Kangkang frowned with a serious face, glanced at the smiling friends, and said, "Write carefully, don't laugh!"

Everyone covered their mouths, and some people pointed at the faces of the people next to them and laughed sullenly.

An An drew several strokes on Xiangzi's face, and when An An stared at him with guilty eyes, he immersed himself in writing big characters again.An An looked guilty, glanced at her brother secretly, then looked at the stars on the right, and hurriedly lowered her head to write.

The sun hit the ground, and time passed little by little.

The children in the yard were noisy, and Qi Wanfeng didn't pay much attention to them.After Fulang went out, his eyes focused on the direction of the gate, wondering when Fulang who had entered the mountain would come back.

It was still early at this time, and they could rest for a while after finishing the hor fun.Sun Bailian, who was still staying at Qi Wanfeng's place, noticed his movements, smiled helplessly, and said, "Wanfeng, don't worry, my husband is here, and he will help you look after Xiangnan."

Qi Wanfeng smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I know." But thinking of the dangers in the mountains, he couldn't help not worrying, and besides, his husband didn't go into the mountains as often as Cao Gang.

His adoptive father would die so early, and he was injured when he went hunting in the mountains when he was young. His adoptive father died a few years after he married into the Cao family.In fact, he didn't want Fu Lang to enter the mountain, but he couldn't stop him. He couldn't follow him in his current state, so he could only wait at home and worry.

At this time, the two people who went up the mountain also returned with a full load.

Seeing Fulang's figure appearing at the door, Qi Wanfeng suddenly stood up and walked towards Fulang with big strides.Sun Bailian saw Qi Wanfeng's movements from behind, and was taken aback. He also saw the person who came back, so he stood up, shook his head and followed.

"Fulang, you're back." Qi Wanfeng said as he strode over with a smile on his face.

"Well, we're back." When Cao Xiangnan saw Qi Wanfeng's appearance, he knew that he was worried about him, so he reached out and took his hand, and went in with him.There were a lot of things in the basket on his back, he put them down, and said, "We picked a lot of mushrooms and fruits, Brother Cao Gang also hunted wild game, we are lucky tonight. I will show you all tonight, When the time comes, let everyone stay at our house for dinner."

"Well, good." Seeing Fulang back, Qi Wanfeng felt relieved, and his smile relaxed a bit.

When Sun Bailian saw Fu Lang who had returned, she smiled at him.Cao Liehu, who saw his wife smiling at him, had dark eyes, put down the pannier on his back, took the prey and walked towards the kitchen, so that the children would not see it later.

"Father..."

"Uncle Xiang Nan." A group of children also threw the pens in their hands and surrounded them.

"Wan Feng, go get some fruit in a basket and wash some fruit for the children to eat." Cao Xiangnan was packing up when he saw a group of children running over, and when he looked up, he saw cat-like faces. , couldn't help laughing, and said with a stern face, "Go and wash your face, isn't it just to let you write, and your daring is written on your face."

"Hee hee hee, look at your face."

"Hahaha" A group of children look at me and I look at you, laughing at each other.

They knew that there was water in the bathroom of Uncle Xiangnan's house, and they all ran in to wash their faces, so there was no need for an adult to bring it.

Sun Bailian walked back quickly and said, "I'll get a basket to wash, Wanfeng, take the children to wash their faces."

The children all ran away, Qi Wanfeng who was standing there saw Sun Bailian go to get the basket.

"Don't worry about me, am I back?" Taking advantage of no one, Cao Xiangnan stood up and hooked Wanfeng's fingers with his hands, rubbing them affectionately.

After Fu Lang grabbed his hand and rubbed it like this, Qi Wanfeng withdrew his hand as if frightened, and looked left and right.The children were still washing their faces inside and didn't come out, but Sun Bailian who went to get the basket came back. The carefree Sun Bailian didn't notice that he ruined other people's good deeds, "I brought the basket." He said.

Seeing this little purple fruit in the basket, Qi Wanfeng asked strangely, "Fulang, what are you doing picking this up? It's so sour that you can't eat it."

"Yeah, this is so sour, what did you pick it for?" Sun Bailian smiled.

"When the time comes, you will know that this one is too sour and you won't eat it for the children." Cao Xiangnan blinked his eyes, keeping it mysterious, "These peaches are ripe, pick some good ones and wash them for the children to eat, and the rest I plan to make fruit and sell it."

"Preserved fruit?" Sun Bailian was curious.

"It's the dried fruit." Cao Xiangnan explained.

At this time, the children also washed their faces and came back, running ahead quickly.The washed fruit was put there for the children to eat. At this time, Cao Gang, who was going to release the prey, also came in.

When the children had something to eat, they put aside their writing. Cao Xiangnan did not force the children to stay there for a long time to study. The children's attention is limited, so learn for a while, rest for a while, and play for a while. It is also successful.

After a while, everyone sat down and took a sip of water before Cao Xiangnan told everyone about his plan to make candied fruits from fruits. At that time, he also planned to open a shop to sell some snacks.

Don't look down on these small snacks, you must know how profitable these small snacks are, it is simply a huge profit.The more expensive one is jerky, but it will also be more expensive to sell.You need to know how much money a shop selling dried fruits can make in a year in modern times. These things are delicious, and you are not afraid that no one will buy them.

And this kind of shop doesn't need a big storefront, as long as you find a small storefront, the rent will be cheaper, and the interior decoration will be better, and the food inside will be delicious. I think it will be the most popular with the children. .

"Well, you have a good idea." Sun Bailian was moved when she heard this, mainly because she thought that there are delicious things, as long as they are made by Cao Xiangnan's hands, they must be delicious.

Qi Wanfeng has always expressed support for his husband's ideas, but he is just a little curious about what else to do with these fruits.If these fruits can be preserved, they can also eat dried fruits in winter, and according to Fu Lang, these things can be sold for a lot of money.

Cao Gang sat there without saying a word, but judging by his appearance, he knew it beforehand, and he supported it if he thought about it.

"Then how to make candied fruit?" Sun Bailian asked.

"I'll find out in a while, and then I will teach you how to make these dried fruits and jerky." He can't make these things by himself, and Cao Xiangnan doesn't plan to do them all by himself, because he can't get the money alone , or a little bit for everyone.

He planned to bring in Sun Bailian to do it. As for Cao Gang's words, he had no interest in it.These things will be arranged specifically when the preserved fruit is made and the shop is ready to open.

When the garment factory was built, Cao Xiangnan planned to build another place for food processing.If there are few things, there is nothing to do here, but if there are too many things, there is not enough space here, so we still have to find another place to do these things.Anyway, that piece of land is bought, and as for the places, they will be built one by one, and those that cannot be completed this year will be continued next year, and they will always be completed.

As for these sour fruits, Cao Xiangnan picked them up, and under the curious eyes of everyone, he told everyone, "I plan to use this to make wine."

"Are you going to use these sour fruits to make wine?" Sun Bailian looked at you as a joke.

"You will know when the time comes, and you won't believe it now." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile if he still wanted to speak with the facts.

People today don't know that many fruits make cider, and these sour grapes make delicious wine.And based on the price of wine in this world, if the wine he brews tastes good by then, he may be able to make a lot of money.

The buddies who worked in the small workshop at the back also got off work at noon, and walked out of it. Now that everyone is skilled in the technology, the speed of making clothes is also faster, and a lot of clothes have been made.But this amount is still not enough. They will wait for the factory to be built, and they will have to intensify their efforts to catch up.

However, there is not much cotton this year. After the cotton is planted, the amount will be even greater.

Now that he has a large amount of money in his hand, Cao Xiangnan is not worried that his side will run out of funds. After investing the money, he believes that he will be able to earn back doubled by then.

After noon, Cao Xiangnan later taught Wan Feng and Sun Bailian how to make these fruits into dried fruits, and after pickling, they would dry the fruits in the sun.However, it is too slow to dry in the sun, and now there is not much time, so Cao Xiangnan simply dried the flesh in the oven, and it can be dried from the inside.

Although the marinating time is not long enough, the taste and texture are still good.

"How is it?" Cao Xiangnan looked at the few people who took a bite and asked.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and nodded.

"It's delicious." Sun Bailian nodded and ate two yuan in a row, feeling that the deal was a success.
