Otherworldly Days

In the morning, he was busy at Yipinzhai, and Cao Xiangnan was free to come to Buzhuang in the afternoon.Shopkeeper Jiang heard about Mr. Cao, and hurried out from the inside. When he saw the people who came, he smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, you are here. I just heard Mr. Qian talking about you coming to Nanyang yesterday. Come on, please come inside."

"Ah De, bring a pot of good tea." The shopkeeper ordered.

"Hey, let's go."

Cao Xiangnan put the food box in his hand on the table, and said with a smile, "I arrived in Nanyang yesterday evening, and I was busy working at Yipinzhai when I came here. I will come here when I am free. Shopkeeper Jiang. This is for today. The new dish, bring it here for shopkeeper Jiang to taste."

His words also explained why he didn't come to Buzhuang until now, and he didn't deliberately leave it here and come later.

He has met the shopkeeper of the cloth shop twice, so he is not very familiar with him. The last time he came to Nanyang, he brought a lot of cloth to the cloth shop.Between people, they all go from unfamiliar to familiar, those who are not familiar with each other will become acquainted after a few more walks, and all of their own people will be sent here, and even if they are not familiar, they will have a relationship.His clothing workshop has been built, and there will be many places to cooperate with shopkeeper Jiang in the future. When I came here, I brought a spicy crab to express my gratitude, and there was also a small jar of rice wine, which Cao Xiangnan used to follow. The tone of the conversation among acquaintances reminded, "This is newly brewed rice wine. It is a bit strong. When the shopkeeper Jiang tastes it, he can only taste it. Don't be greedy."

"It seems that I have a good fortune today. This is both food and wine." When the jar was opened, a mellow smell wafted out. Shopkeeper Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Good wine, Good wine."

"It's good that shopkeeper Jiang likes it, but I'm afraid shopkeeper Jiang doesn't like it." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile.

"How come, I like it, I like it. Recently I heard that Yipinzhai has released a new wine, and I haven't had time to taste it. I didn't expect you to send it, Mr. Cao. So I accepted it, thank you Mr. Cao "Although shopkeeper Fang didn't say it clearly, shopkeeper Jiang vaguely knew that many good things at Yipinzhai were made by Mr. Cao in front of him.

Shopkeeper Fang is not only the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai, but also the manager here in Nanyang, managing all the managers in Nanyang.Shopkeeper Jiang is also under the management of Shopkeeper Gui Fang, and this one in front of him is even flattering to Shopkeeper Fang, and he can't be slighted.

The man brought in the brewed tea and went out.

Cao Xiangnan was busy smiling and waving his hands, and said, "Xiangnan would also like to thank shopkeeper Jiang for taking care of Wu Yue and Hongmei. Wu Yue is the deputy manager of my garment workshop, and this time I sent him here specially in Nanyang." While studying, I would also like to thank shopkeeper Jiang for his careful teaching, I would not dare to send them here if it were someone else, but if it is shopkeeper Jiang, I can send people here with confidence."

The two of them said a few more polite words before they got down to business.

Shopkeeper Jiang also looked at the clothes delivered this time. Although the workmanship is not comparable to the craftsmanship of the embroiderers in their cloth shop, the materials are ordinary and practical. From then on, shopkeeper Jiang also felt that this business could be done. After July, the weather in August will gradually cool down, and the new clothes will start to be displayed in the store for sale.

Ordinary people who come to the store to buy cloth will take a look at them and sell a few pieces every day, but there are wealthy people who come to buy cloth. When they see this clothes, they think the cloth is not good, so they don’t buy it. It would be a good idea to change this material to a better one." Shopkeeper Jiang said.

Cao Xiangnan learned about the sales volume of these clothes from Wu Yue last night, but selling a few pieces a day was far from achieving the effect he wanted.But now he is not in a hurry. When the weather turns cold, once these clothes are sold, there may not be enough for them.

"When I go back this time, I will make a batch of clothes that are lighter and warmer than these cotton padded clothes..." Hearing Shopkeeper Jiang talk about rich and noble families, Cao Xiangnan talked about the down jackets that he will start making, so this time he came to think about it. Ask shopkeeper Jiang what materials are better, buy a batch of good materials and go back to make a batch of down jackets.

"Oh, is this true?" Shopkeeper Jiang asked in disbelief when he heard that there were light and warm clothes.

"It's absolutely true. When the time comes, shopkeeper Jiang just needs to find good customers to buy. The clothes you make are guaranteed to be loved by all of you." There is no shortage of rich people in Nanyang, so the reason why he plans to make a batch of low-priced cotton clothes Cao Xiangnan also considered that the children of ordinary people do not have a warm winter coat in winter, but he is not worried that the children of rich and noble families will be cold in winter.

When the two talked about the cloth and clothes, Shopkeeper Jiang happened to be familiar with him. Shopkeeper Jiang recommended to him a few cloths that felt good to the touch and were popular with wealthy families, and the price was not particularly expensive.

Cao Xiangnan is currently in the stage of exploration, and he is also willing to listen to Shopkeeper Jiang, but he has something that Shopkeeper Jiang doesn't know, and Shopkeeper Jiang is also curious.

Finally, when talking about the workmanship of the clothes, Shopkeeper Jiang promised him to send two Ah Mos to help him at that time, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang." Cao Xiangnan didn't expect Shopkeeper Jiang to be so generous, so he accepted it with a smile. This kindness.

Later, he also saw Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei, and said a few words to them.

Sitting there for an afternoon at Buzhuang, Cao Xiangnan led his people back to Yipinzhai.

After the people left, shopkeeper Jiang opened it to take a look at the dishes in the food box, and said, "It's a good idea."

Yipinzhai recently launched a new dish. In the past, people didn’t think crabs were so delicious. Now I tried it at Yipinzhai. The taste is still unforgettable when I go home. Three or five friends made an appointment to come to Yipinzhai.

"Have you tried it? The spicy crab from Yipinzhai is fragrant and spicy. It tastes so good that once you eat it, you want to eat it again."

"Is it really so amazing?"

After being hooked like this, the gluttons in the stomach almost ran out, passing one by one, and everyone rushed to Yipinzhai.

Now Yipinzhai's business is booming and prospering day by day, and there is an endless stream of customers coming and going. Most of the rich and noble families in Nanyang have come to Yipinzhai.

"If you don't come back, I will send someone to look for you. Once I go to Lao Fang's place, I won't know you're back." The shopkeeper Fang stopped him when he saw Cao Xiaozi came back, and he almost sent someone to Lao Jiang. There is someone there.

"I forgot the time as soon as I spoke, isn't this in a hurry to come back?" Cao Xiangnan listened to Fang's words while walking with Fang, and the two quickly disappeared around the corner.

Coming out of the kitchen, Cao Xiangnan got into the carriage again and left.

After the best time for dinner business, the guests in the building left one by one, and the guys could breathe a sigh of relief and sit down to have dinner.It was gradually getting dark outside, and a carriage slowly stopped at the door of Yipinzhai, followed by several ox carts pulling goods, covered with cloth, and outsiders could not see what was inside thing.

Money can turn ghosts around, but they just made a few children's toys, and finally finished them when the sun went down and sent them over.

Taking advantage of the least number of guests in the building at this time, it happened to transport all these things back and assemble them.Cao Xiangnan got off the carriage, and when Shopkeeper Fang saw the person coming back, he strode over, "Boy Nan."

"Treasurer Fang." Cao Xiangnan greeted Shopkeeper Fang and directed the other side to carry the things down.

A few tables and chairs in the corner were moved out, and the space in front was narrowed a bit, so they could be placed underground.Cao Xiangnan directed the people to get out the small playground provided for the children. Basically, a prototype was made, and Sun Ji took over the rest. gone."

"Let's go eat," he said.

Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin followed behind him, they didn't even eat dinner, Cao Xiangnan himself was hungry.

Cao Xiangnan found that every time he came to Nanyang, he was very busy, as if all the things had been piled up in the past few days, but in fact, he had to rush to finish the things here. It's over, so I can go home.

Fenshui still has things to do, not to mention, he has to rush home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Wanfeng and the children, but he doesn't plan to stay here in Nanyang.

From the words of shopkeeper Fang, I know that August [-]th in Nanyang is very lively. There are lantern festivals and temple fairs here.Compared with Shopkeeper Fang, Shopkeeper Fang is more familiar with Nanyang. Cao Xiangnan also asked a few questions, and he almost knew what the Mid-Autumn Festival was like in Nanyang.

Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Xiangnan thought of moon cakes, and he almost forgot about it in his busy schedule recently, so he hurriedly told the shopkeeper about making moon cakes.

"Oh, moon cakes?" Shopkeeper Fang seemed to see silver in his eyes.

There is also a kind of mooncake here during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Naturally, the taste is not very good, but the mooncakes of later generations are rich in styles and tastes, and the taste is even better.As soon as Cao Xiangnan talked about this moon cake, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Shopkeeper Fang's expression again, and said, "Tomorrow, we will prepare it, and we will make it. It happens that we can sell it until the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"If any family wants mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's best to book in advance, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be able to make so many." Cao Xiangnan can almost predict that the mooncakes will be sold as soon as they are released, thinking of future generations when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes Shops and restaurants are rushing to make mooncakes, and if they are unique to Yipinzhai, they may not be able to make them by then.

In the end, Cao Xiangnan really gave the material.

"Okay, okay, list out what you need, and I'll let someone prepare it." Shopkeeper Fang now absolutely believes in Boy Cao, as long as it comes out of his hands, everyone must be rushing to get it, and he can almost predict that everyone will rush. I'm going to send money to Yipinzhai.

"No hurry, no hurry, I'll prepare tomorrow morning." Cao Xiangnan said.

The master over there led the people to assemble the slide, put the little toys such as the wooden horse and the trolley on it, and shopkeeper Fang sent someone to pay the bill.

After thanking the master, he hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else, master?" Cao Xiangnan asked when he saw it.

"Our manager asked me to ask, do you sell these small wooden horses and small tackles? The price is negotiable." It means that their boss wants to buy the design drawings, but they also know that Yipinzhai is not short of such a small amount of money. I'm a little embarrassed.

"These don't belong to my old Fang. My brain is not so good. These belong to boy Nan." The shopkeeper Fang laughed when he heard that, and he didn't have the idea of ​​robbing Cao Xiangnan of such a little benefit. He returned a lot of places here. Relying on Cao Xiangnan, he would definitely not lose a big business just for a small business, that would outweigh the gain, and he would never be so stupid to do such a thing.

Shopkeeper Fang looked at Cao Xiangnan and asked, "Boy Nan, you drew these things, you can figure it out."

"Well, how about it, I've been here at Yipinzhai for the past few days. You'd better have someone who speaks the local language over there. If you have time, come over to Yipinzhai. Let's sit down and have a chat." Seeing the business coming, Cao Xiangnan had no reason to push back, and he suddenly had a better idea in his heart.

If this business is negotiated, he will have a large income.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and talk to our supervisor." The master got the answer, and left with a few people.

After they left, the two continued to chat about Yipinzhai, and Cao Xiangnan's thoughts returned to Yipinzhai.

The master who went back brought the words to their steward. The steward thought about it, and reported the matter to the young boss.

The moon is full and the moon is short, and there is only a faint crescent moon hanging in the sky in early August.

"Wei Qi, why are you drinking here alone?" Sun Ji saw a dark figure standing in the corner, and walked over, unexpectedly, it was Gan Weiqi. He saw him holding a small jar in his hand, standing here drinking alone. While drinking, he raised his eyebrows, he did not forget that he had drunk two and a half bowls of this wine before collapsing.

How can this person drink so well?

Gan Weiqi smiled, but didn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had something on his mind, so he handed the wine jar to Sun Ji, "Have a sip?" This is no longer a question.

Sun Ji took a look and knew that Gan Weiqi had something on his mind, but it was hard for him to ask anything unless he said anything.It happened that there was nothing else going on at this time, so he took a sip, handed the wine back to Gan Weiqi, and stood here with him.

From their point of view, half of Nanyang can be seen. Sun Ji told Gan Weiqi about the city of Nanyang, and Gan Weiqi listened carefully.The two stood here chatting, you and I drank a jar of wine.

"No, I'll get drunk if I drink any more." Sun Ji didn't dare to get drunk now, it would be bad if he couldn't wake up tomorrow morning.

Hearing Sun Ji's words, Gan Weiqi stared at the blushing face of the man in front of him, even the skin on his neck was red, no one knew what this man was thinking.He didn't hand it to him anymore, and drank the rest of the wine by himself.

The black clouds in the sky were blown by the wind, covering the crescent moon. It was unknown whether the black clouds were moving or the crescent moon was moving.The lanterns on the street were lit one by one, and the number of people walking gradually decreased, and the two figures standing upstairs disappeared without knowing when.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of Yipinzhai, and several people got out of the carriage and went into Yipinzhai.
