Otherworldly Days

Cao Xiangnan began to clean the pig intestines, turned them over with chopsticks, cleaned out the dirt inside, washed them with clean water, and pinched them with salt.

While cleaning, Cao Xiangnan also explained the steps to Qi Wanfeng. In the end, he used the flour he made from potatoes. There is no such thing as raw flour for sale here, but starch is an excellent thing for cooking.

"You smell it, is it smelly?" After washing several times, the pig intestines were clean, Cao Xiangnan handed the cleaned pig intestines to Qiwan Fengwen.

"Well, it's really tasteless." Qi Wanfeng lowered his head dubiously, he didn't smell the smell, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still wouldn't believe it.It had never occurred to him to use salt to wash things, or to use it in such a way.

The things they are going to treat today are the things they are going to sell, because there is nothing, so everything is prepared from scratch.

Only the finished product can be convincing. Cao Xiangnan is not a person who speaks casually, otherwise, let alone he doesn't believe it, he won't be able to convince others.What he is looking for now is a partner to work with him in the future. Naturally, he has to come up with effective plans and finished products in order to persuade others to work with him.

The place where they lived used to be a small bamboo forest. It was not easy to get bamboo, so they just went there and cut it.Cao Xiangnan told Qi Wanfeng his thoughts last night. Originally, he wanted to find a master who could make bamboo strips in the village to make some dustpan boards, but he didn't expect that Qi Wanfeng could do it himself, so he didn't need it. Spend the money to hire someone to do it.

In the courtyard, Qi Wanfeng was weaving dustpan boards, and Cao Xiangnan was busy in the kitchen, putting the bought bones together with white radish into the pot to make soup.

Not many people buy bones, because people here don't know how to eat them at all, and they think it's not worthwhile to spend money to buy them without meat.People here would not spend an hour or two just to stew a sip of soup, but it was normal for him to spend hours stewing a soup in his time, and the soup made by slow-cooking bones was still very nutritious.

Cao Xiangnan thought that now that Wanfeng was pregnant, he would cook more soup, which would be good for his health.And the children in the family also drink more to make up for the missing nutrition. Maybe he can grow taller by supplementing more calcium. He has always been brooding about the fact that he is half a head shorter than his wife.

The child was playing with his own, and the family of three were doing their own things, all peaceful.

Inadvertently raising his eyes, he can always catch the sight from the opposite side.

There was no more firewood at home, and Qi Wanfeng said that he was going to chop some firewood at the foot of the mountain, and it wasn't too far from their place.Cao Xiangnan glanced at his legs, the soup in the kitchen was still simmering, he could only give a depressing "hmm" and said, "Don't pick too many at once, do what you can, your body is the best important."

His eyes fell on Qi Wanfeng's lower abdomen, but he didn't forget what happened to Qi Wanfeng.He was suddenly jealous of that dead guy, and his gaze on Qi Wanfeng's belly became bitter.

But Cao Xiangnan's gaze made Qi Wanfeng misunderstand that he was worried about him and didn't want him to go, although in fact Cao Xiangnan didn't want him to go, but was worried about him.

"Okay, I know, you watch An'an at home, don't let him run around. An'an, do you know what your father said at home? Ah Mu will be back soon." Qi Wanfeng smiled and told his husband After seeing Lang and the child, he took his things and went out.

"Em, come back quickly." Cao Xiangnan touched the child's head, and the child said wisely.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng waved his hands to let the father and son go back.

Cao Xiangnan, An An and his son stood at the door and watched them pray for the evening wind to leave. In fact, it was not too far from the foot of the mountain. They closed the door of the small courtyard and they returned to the courtyard.

Sitting at the door of the small kitchen, Cao Xiangnan held the child in his arms, and taught him arithmetic by hand. He used modern arithmetic, which was simple and easy to learn.Cao Xiangnan found that his child is a very smart child. Basically, he can remember what he said once taught the child, and he can draw inferences from one instance.

He has made up his mind, he will teach the child some basic things first, and when the child is older, if he likes it, he will be sent to school, and he will decide what to do if he likes to do it, and he will not be stuck.

So there are two of them, father and son, one who teaches vigorously and the other who studies seriously.

In the afternoon, Qi Wanfeng came back from collecting firewood, and the child fell asleep in the house. Cao Xiangnan planned to let the child take a nap in the future, so that the child would grow taller if he slept more.Leaving the Cao family compound is not necessarily a bad thing, at least they don't have to be controlled by others in their lives, and what they want to do is their business.

"Drink some water." Cao Xiangnan held a bowl of water and handed it to Qi Wanfeng. Seeing Qi Wanfeng glanced up at the yard, he told him, "The child is sleeping inside."

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng took the water and gulped it down, letting the child continue to sleep when he was sleeping, and he didn't want to wake him up. "Do you want more?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"No more." Qi Wanfeng shook his head and said.

The soup in the pot has been simmering for more than an hour, exuding a strong fragrance, only salt was put in it, Cao Xiangnan filled a bowl with it, and asked Qi Wanfeng to sit down and rest for a while, and put the soup in his hand Passed it to his hand, and said, "Try it if it's good." Qi Wanfeng lowered his head and smelled the soup in his hand, and found it very fragrant. He glanced at Fulang, lowered his head and exhaled, and slowly After taking a sip, he nodded and said, "Mm, it smells delicious." After drinking a large bowl of soup, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, his stomach was warm, and his whole body felt very comfortable .

"Knock knock—" "Evening wind." Sun Bailian shouted from outside the yard.

Sun Bailian's family came when the two of them were busy in the kitchen. Qi Wanfeng got out of the kitchen when he heard the sound, and Cao Xiangnan was still working in the kitchen, throwing out sheets of pho.

When he was a child, the house next door in the village sold pho. At that time, he wanted to eat but had no money to buy it, so he had to go to someone’s yard to help them with work every day, and they would give him a bowl of pho. Pho is simply delicious in the world, so until now Cao Xiangnan still remembers how to make Pho.

There is no such thing as pho in this era. One of the reasons he considers making it is that it is low in cost and fresh to the people who make it.Snacks are fresh and delicious. You don’t have to worry about people buying delicious food, but making snacks is not an easy task.

"Bai Lian, Brother Cao Gang, you are here." Qi Wanfeng went to open the door, and saw the family coming, reached out and touched the head of the older child, "Come in quickly."

Both of Sun Bailian's children are boys, the older one is six years old, and the younger one is the same age as An An from Qi Wanfeng's family.The two boys in his family are very skinny, and Sun Bailian has a headache every day and wants to beat them up.

"Wanfeng, I brought you two rabbits." Sun Bailian said as she passed a cage in her hand as soon as she entered the door.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring anything?" Qi Wanfeng took the cage from Sun Bailian's hand, feeling very helpless, why did he bring him a rabbit again.

"I didn't buy it either. Cao Gang went hunting in the mountains today and caught it. The big rabbit will keep the money to sell, and the little rabbit will be given to you to raise." Sun Bailian smelled a fragrance as soon as she entered the yard, sniffed her nose, Asked, "What are you eating? It's so delicious."

"You'll know later, just sit down and it'll be done soon." Qi Wanfeng took the rabbit to the chicken coop and put it away, and put a bunch of wild vegetables into the cage. The little red-eyed little The rabbit leaned over and ate it.

"Do you need my help?" Sun Bailian asked.

"No need." Qi Wanfeng said, "Just sit here."

Cao Gang sat down on the stool, looked around at the well-tied yard, smelled the fragrance and felt a little restless, but the man didn't show any expression on his face.

An An in the room woke up. The little guy sat on the bed and rubbed his little eyes. After seeing that there was no one in the room, he got off the bed by himself.When I came out, I saw someone else in the yard, but I didn’t see him, Eh Mu, holding my mouth and crying, “Eh Mu.”

"An'an, why did you come out of it?" Sun Bailian wanted to say that there was something missing in Qi Wanfeng's house, and it turned out that this little guy was missing.Before he could pull the children, the two boys from his family ran to An An who was standing there. The children of both families knew each other.

An An was pulled by the two elder brothers, and closed her smothered mouth, and looked at the two elder brothers with moist black eyes.

"An'an, An'an." The second child, Cao Yijing, is the same age as An'an, and the two little guys play best.This little guy is not honest either. The little guy who fights with his brother and brother within two seconds, will give it to him when he turns back. He pulls An An, who is a few months younger than him, and points to the rabbit in the cage. You brought a rabbit."

"The rabbit is there, let's go to see the rabbit." Cao Yijing took An An away.

The boss, Cao Yikang, is a little older and sensible, and he goes to play with the two younger ones.

When Qi Wanfeng heard the voice coming out of the kitchen, he saw two boys from his family, An An and Sun Bailian, playing there. Putting it on the table, seeing Sun Bailian's curious gaze, he just smiled, turned around and shouted, "You guys are coming over for dinner too. An An, bring your brothers over for dinner."

"Mum..." When An An heard Eminem's voice, she turned her head to look, then stood up and flew over, ignoring the cute rabbit behind her.

Qi Wanfeng touched the child who rushed over, and touched his little face, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Cao Xiangnan also came out of the kitchen, greeted the guests with a nod, sat down on the stool and exhaled.Sun Bailian got up and went into the kitchen to help Qi Wanfeng serve the dishes, and the two men were left sitting here facing each other, looking at each other.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Cao Gang discovered that Cao Jiashiro had changed a lot. As for where this change came from, he couldn't say it himself, and his eyes fell on the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Cao Gang, I have invited you over for dinner today. I also have something I want to discuss with you." Cao Xiangnan said straight to the point with a smile.

Cao Gang raised his eyebrows, waiting for Cao Xiangnan to continue.

"Let's have dinner first, and we'll talk to you later." Cao Xiangnan didn't continue, but left the words behind.
