Otherworldly Days

Fruits are delivered to their family every morning. Cao Xiangnan controls the children to come back with the old man. First, he is afraid that the children will be in danger if they stay there alone. It may be rotten and not fresh in two days.

The fruits in the forest are wild and not planted by anyone. Anyone in the village can pick them. At this time, no one wants these fruits. It is a waste to rot on the branches. He can get them at a very low price. Accept these fruits, just pay some labor costs.

Most of the adults in the village now have work to do, even if they build roads, there are ten big money a day, and the adults don't look down on these big money.But for many children, they have never held a copper coin since they were young. For some people, two copper coins are enough for a day's food money. No adult is willing to give a child a copper coin to buy snacks, so one or two Copper plates are still very attractive to children.As long as he is given a few dollars, the children are willing to give him the biggest and best fruit on the branch.

The price of the fruits he harvests is extremely low now, and these fruits are almost for nothing, but when he makes candied fruits and starts selling them in autumn, there will be no more of these fruits on the branches, so it will naturally Someone is willing to spend money to buy it, and he can sell it at a good price when he sells it.

"Father, we are going to pick fruit too."

"Uncle, uncle, we are going too."

"Em, I'm going too."

When they saw the children in the village bringing the fruit, the group in their family also clamored to pick the fruit.

Xiangzi looked at Uncle Xiangnan with burning eyes, and he could also help uncle pick fruit.

"Okay, okay, if you want to go, you can go and recite the arithmetic formulas for me first, and check them later. Only those who can recite can go, and those who can't recite can stay at home and continue to recite. If you come out, continue to recite it next time, and wait until you can recite it.” Cao Xiangnan is now teaching arithmetic to the children in his family, and the children in his family and Sun Bailian’s family can recite it. As for the other naughty people , it’s hard to say.

Most of the time, when there is a reward, there is motivation.

"I will definitely recite it!" Baowang clenched his fists, and he will definitely recite it.

"Yeah." Jing Bao, who has a lot of trouble behind his back, this kid is smart, but he is not down-to-earth.

Seeing the brats with such a loud voice, Cao Xiangnan waited and waited. He had to say that his family An An was the best student in this group of children. Now he made An An a study committee member and led everyone to study and study together. "An An, who can't?" You are responsible for teaching him, can you?" He asked.

"Yes." An An nodded seriously, and he is now responsible for leading everyone to study together.

A group of young people ran back to recite the mantra seriously, while Xiangzi and Kangkang were responsible for disciplining the little friends and maintaining order.

Seeing Fu Lang fooling a group of young people, Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing.

It was still early at this time. They cleaned the fruit, cut it into pieces, and pickled it. Then, when the sun was at its highest at noon, they could put it on the dustpan to dry. After drying the water, they could put it away and store it. Wait until autumn and then take it out for sale.

They don't have many people now, and Cao Xiangnan also controls the amount of fruit the children send.However, there is a limit to what the children can send over in one trip. A few old men send a little more, so they can handle the daily amount.

When Chen Hong comes over every day when she is free, she sees everyone in the yard processing these fruits, and she will help clear the stream together.Even if he knew that Cao Silang was going to make these fruits into dried fruit, he wasn't very curious, he knew what he should know, and he wouldn't ask more about what he shouldn't know.

So Chen Hong is a smart person, and he also understands in his heart that his husband has learned a lot from Cao Silang now, and the monthly money is what they couldn't make in a year before. Satisfied.In addition, he is now in charge of the food in the village, and Cao Silang will pay him every month here, and his current salary is not necessarily less than that of any man in the village.

The child is taken and taught by Cao Silang, which is no worse than going to school to learn from his husband, and he can do arithmetic for him when he comes back, which is something he doesn't understand.He knows that Cao Silang is capable, and now Fulang is promising with Cao Silang, and he still hopes that Cao Silang can give his boys a good way. He and Fulang are useless, so he hopes for Cao Silang If Shiro can help him here, he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

He is looking at the long-term rather than seeking a small immediate benefit.

Most of the goods in the town were delivered by Cao Gang. When he came back today, he brought back the jar Cao Xiangnan wanted.

Seeing Cao Gang's carriage came back, Cao Xiangnan went over to help move the jar down together, and said, "Yes, brother Cao Gang, the floor tiles in your house have been paved, and when you go to town tomorrow, remember to ask them to bring the furniture I ordered over there." Send them all over, and I'll bring you the list later."

If he didn't talk about it, he would forget about it. Those custom-made furniture are all ready, just send them over when the time comes.

"Okay." Cao Gang didn't care much about building his family's house, he just waited for a house to live in after it was built.All he needs is a place to sleep. He wants a good house for his wife and children, and wants them to live a better life.

"Fu Lang, you're back." Sun Bailian yelled when she saw Du's husband come back.

"Yeah." Cao Gang nodded, walked over, and came to help behind.

"Bai Lian, tomorrow the town will send over your bed cabinet. And didn't you say that you will come to the house after watching the day? Are you going to invite people from the village to eat or something?" Cao Xiangnan looked at Cao Gang and Sun Bailian asked.

Sun Bailian looked at her husband, waiting for his husband's idea.

"... Keep it simple." Cao Gang glanced at his wife and added, "Cook a few meals."

"You go back to discuss it tonight." Cao Xiangnan threw the question back to Cao Gang.

"En." Cao Gang nodded.

The current sun is just right. If the sun is used according to this kind of sun, the pulp can be harvested after a few days of drying. Cao Xiangnan watched the color of the pulp after drying for two days, and it looks very good.After he took it through the front, Sun Bailian will be in charge of it later, and if there is any problem, he will point it out.

The returned jars are cleaned and dried in the sun before they can be used.

There are a lot of jars at home now, and almost everything is packed in stalls. Every once in a while, a batch of jars will be shipped back. The shops in the town don’t need to order in advance to have goods. What will happen after having him as a big customer? When you go to buy, there are jars for sale.

As for the piece of grapes at the foot of the mountain, Cao Xiangnan didn't dare to let the children pick them because the location was relatively inward and there were snakes in the vine-like plants, so he had to go there with Cao Gang every day.

But it really made him find sweet grapes, mainly because of Cao Gang.As soon as he asked this person, he told him where there were sweet ones, but the position was relatively high, so it was up to Cao Gang to pick them.

Today, he promised the children in the family to take them to pick peaches. Cao Xiangnan inspected the children's homework, and even those who didn't work hard were able to memorize it stutteringly.It wasn't until the afternoon when the sun was less shining that he took a group of children and prepared to set off. "Let's go, let's go." He shouted.

The children lined up in a straight line, one after another, he walked in front, Cao Gang was behind.

Sun Bailian also came, and Qi Wanfeng stayed at home to watch the house.

It was not too far from his home to come to the forest. A group of children came to the forest and saw the trees full of fruits, screaming loudly.Cao Xiangnan patted An An's head, knowing that his children had never been here, and told the younger ones not to climb the tree, and the older ones to be careful.

When Xiangzi got on the tree, it was like a monkey returning home. His nimble body jumped up and down on it, and the fruit he picked in his hand was the biggest and reddest.In the past, the fruit was ripe at this time, and he would take his younger brother to pick the fruit when he was hungry, but now they don't need to pick the fruit to fill their stomachs.

"Wow brother, that is really big."

"And that one."

A group of children saw the fruit on the tree, and the younger ones were ordered not to go up, but when they saw it under the tree, they were happy to scream and jump below.

Cao Xiangnan told Sun Bailian that he and Cao Gang went over there to pick grapes, and Sun Bailian stayed here to watch the children. "Pay attention, I will take care of the children here, and I will take them back in a while." Sun Bailian said.

After handing over the children to Sun Bailian and telling them to be obedient, Cao Xiangnan left with Cao Gang.

Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. These grapes must be picked as soon as possible. Now the manpower is limited, and we can pick as many as we can.The first two jars of brewing Cao Xiangnan would lift up the dregs that floated on them with chopsticks every day. Now they smelled good. I don't know what will happen when they are all fermented. He handles the rest carefully.

Seeing that the children were almost done picking fields here, Sun Bailian called the children to go home.

When they came, everyone brought a small basket, which was filled with half a basket of fruit, and the second boy of his family put it on directly, "Go back and wash it before eating." He hurriedly took the fruit out of his The son's mouth was pulled out, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Amu, I want to eat." Very sweet, Jing Bao looked up at Amu.

"Go back and wash and remove the skin before eating." Sun Bailian knew that her kid was pretending, so she glanced at him and then ignored him.

Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang also picked a lot of grapes inside, each carrying a basket full of dozens of catties.After running back and forth twice, Sun Bailian also came on the second trip to help pick back the sour fruits. Even though he didn't quite understand what these sour fruits were for, it didn't stop him from helping.

So the next two trips were to harvest hundreds of catties of grapes, and Qi Wanfeng at home was responsible for cleaning the fruits and picking out the bad ones.Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang who came back also came to help, and with everyone's concerted efforts, it was quickly dealt with.

"You'll know when the time comes." Seeing Cao Gang looking at him with disbelief, Cao Xiangnan didn't explain, and he'll know when the wine is brewed.
