Otherworldly Days

The sun was setting and there was still a faint afterglow, all of them were sitting in the yard of Cao Xiangnan's house.Just at this time, when Sun Ji came back from working, he happened to be at home when Sun Bailian went looking for him, and he followed Sun Bailian without saying a word.

When Cao Dapeng came, his daughter-in-law Chen Hong also came with him. Chen Hong is also a good person, with a bright personality and a hardworking person.If Cao Dapeng worked with them in the future, he would not be able to hide the truth from his family.

"What do you think?" Cao Xiangnan told the two people who invited him to his house about their stall. He needs manpower here now, and he plans to sell the rice noodles to restaurants. The larger the volume, the more money you make.

If someone at the stall can take over, he can also spare time to do other things.

"Okay, I'll do it." Sun Ji nodded on the spot.

Cao Dapeng is an honest person. After listening to what Cao Xiangnan said, he has been farming in the field for the rest of his life, and he doesn't know how to go out to do business.He rubbed his hands and rubbed them, and when he found that everyone was staring at him, he swallowed and said nervously, "I don't know, I only know how to farm."

"Hey, you wood." Chen Hong was in a hurry, and he almost slapped him in a hurry. He said in a hurry, "Do it, why don't you do it. Fulang, you go to business with Cao Jiashiro , I will watch your children and take care of your family at home."

There are three brothers in Cao Dapeng's family, who is he?He is also an honest man, can he push it out?So he stayed at home to raise him. Fortunately, his wife is also filial, so she has no complaints about it.

"Okay, okay..." Cao Dapeng's family listened to his daughter-in-law, and looked at his daughter-in-law with a silly smile, "You can do whatever your daughter-in-law says."

Several people couldn't help laughing when they saw the couple.

Chen Hong blushed involuntarily, stretched out her hands to scratch her ears, looked up at everyone with a bright smile on her face, and said, "My husband is blunt, don't mind, just tell him if there is anything you need to do , he can do any hard work and heavy work.”

Then they talked about some details. Working together involves the sharing of labor income. Now let’s explain it clearly, so as to avoid conflicts due to distribution issues.

Cao Xiangnan proposed two plans, one is to calculate the share, and share it according to the proportion of the share if it is earned, and everyone will bear it if it loses; There.In fact, the first type is equal to everyone doing business together in partnership, and the second type is similar to an employment relationship.

"Brother Cao Gang, what do you think?" Cao Xiangnan knew that Sun Bailian's family was decided by Cao Gang. He glanced around at the few present and asked, "Do you have a better way and other ideas can be brought up."

"Well, I'm fine." Cao Gang, who had been silent all along, said.

Sun Bailian listened to her husband, and since husband agreed, he naturally had no objections.

"Since everyone is doing business together, everyone's profits and losses will be counted on everyone. If there is any loss, they will give us money." Chen Hong shook his head and disagreed, and he said, "Bai Lian, your family and Cao Silang's family are all involved. It came in with silver taels, and I still have some money in my family, and I will give it to you later, it can be regarded as a share of my family's Dapeng."

Cao Xiangnan roughly understood what Chen Hong meant, and he nodded.

"I don't have any money on hand, and my family probably doesn't have much money left. Shiro, you just count the wages and pay me." Sun Ji was silent for a while before he said.

"Well then, Brother Sun Ji, you can be considered the same as Brother Dapeng. As for the money collected, you can make up for it after you divide the money." Cao Xiangnan actually took a fancy to Sun Ji, and he needed such a person Growing up to be his right-hand man, this small benefit in front of him is nothing.

"Okay." Sun Ji also said simply, without evasion.

He glanced at Sun Bailian and understood something in his heart, so he was also very grateful to Sun Bailian and Cao Jiashiro in his heart.

Just like that, they added two more people to their team, and the team grew stronger again.

They talked about setting up a stall tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng would come to Cao Xiangnan's place to make rice noodles together and set up a stall in the town.Speaking of the delivery of radishes, Cao Xiangnan asked, "Is there anyone in the village who grows a lot of vegetables, the best ones are radishes, cabbages, and eggs. If you go to the town to buy them in the future, it's better to buy them in the village."

Soil eggs are potatoes, and they are called soil eggs here.

Radishes and potatoes are the main ingredients of the stew, and they will be used a lot in the future, and vegetables will be used in the rice noodles.

"Oh, I have this at home. I planted radishes all over the place, and now all of them are juicy." Chen Hong said as soon as he heard it, "There are also a lot of vegetables planted in the field. In the past, my family Ah Mu will take it and sell it for money. If you want vegetables, you can come to my field and pluck them. If you don’t have enough, I’ll find them for you. I know several vegetable growers and sellers, and they are all nice.”

"Yeah, I forgot that your family has a vegetable." Sun Bailian also smiled and said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Chen Hong, for buying vegetables from now on. As for the price, I'll take it at the price you usually sell." It's better to be cheaper than others, Cao Xiangnan said.

"Where do we need to collect money? In the future, our Dapeng..." Chen Hong said.

"No, the money has to be given. If you do business, you will pay it back." Cao Xiangnan considered his words.

They didn't buy them in the village because they were afraid it would be too conspicuous, so most of these things were bought in the town and brought back.Cao Xiangnan added, "In the future, it is best to find someone with a serious mouth to collect the dishes, so as not to make some people in the village jealous."

"Okay, okay, I know." Chen Hong nodded, he is smart, and he will not foolishly give benefits to those irrelevant people.

Even if the vegetables in the field are picked and sold, not all of them will be sold every day, and those that cannot be sold will be brought back and eaten, and the next day they will be cut up and fed to the chickens.It would be great if [-]% of the vegetables grown in one place can be sold, and now all the vegetables in one place are available.

When the sun went down, they sent away the people who came and closed the gate of the yard.

Cao Xiangnan tore off the sun-dried paper one by one. To his disappointment, the paper was fine for writing, but too hard for wiping his butt. It seemed that he had to work harder, but at least he could Out of paper, isn't it?

"Fu Lang, is this paper?" Qi Wanfeng asked as he looked at the piece of paper in Fu Lang's hand.

"Well, it's paper." The color is a bit yellowish, not particularly good, but still usable.Cao Xiangnan said, "Sew these up with a needle and thread, and we can use this to record our daily income in the future."

Paper in this era is still very expensive, and papermaking is not very mature, but he has no intention of changing the history of this era. The only thing he wants is toilet paper for toilet use.

The red sun in the west sank into the mountains, and the sky gradually dimmed. When the last light disappeared, it was dark.They soaked the rice to be used tomorrow morning, thinking that the business on the first day was good, they discussed it at the meeting at night, and they will grind another ten catties of rice tomorrow.

Going back to the house and going to bed, lying on the bed, Cao Xiangnan sighed comfortably.

When Qi Wanfeng came in, he heard his husband was telling a story to the child, but he had never heard of the story.Cao Xiangnan was talking about Hai's daughter to his little An'an, but he changed it to Hai's little brother, so the story began like this.

"Daddy, are there really beautiful mermaids in the sea?" An An bit her little finger, and he also wanted to go to the sea to see mermaids.

"Yes, there are a group of mermaids living in the sea." Cao Xiangnan lied to his children seriously.

Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing, listening to Fu Lang coaxing their children, he blew out the oil lamp and went to bed.Listening to Fu Lang telling stories to the child, when the child fell asleep, he moved the child inside and covered the child with a quilt.

"Fu Lang, we're going back to Old Doctor Luo's place tomorrow." Qi Wanfeng said.

"Okay." Not to mention that he would have forgotten, Cao Xiangnan said, "When we go tomorrow, send old doctor Luo some food."

"En." Qi Wanfeng responded.

The voices of the voices in the room soon became beautiful, and everything became quiet.

They didn't get up the next day, and they were still in the house when there was a knock on the door outside the yard.Cao Dapeng came with a lantern just outside the door. He dared to knock on the door when he saw the lights in the room inside were on. He was woken up early by his wife and rushed over.

When I went back last night, Chen Hong quietly told the family about this matter, and his family also agreed. His mother went back to the house and took a bag, which contained the money he had saved for most of his life. Give it to him, but Chen Hong didn't take it.

He and Ah Mo went to the field to pull out a basket of radishes, and also picked a lot of vegetables and put them in the basket, so that Fu Lang could take them there tomorrow morning. Chen Hong was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, listening to the husband beside Lang slept like a pig snoring, he was afraid that he would fall asleep and wouldn't be able to get up the next day, when he heard the first rooster crow, he woke up his husband and drove him away After going out, he could finally sleep in peace.

"Brother Dapeng, why are you here so early?" Qi Wanfeng went to open the door, saw the person standing outside the door, and hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Ah Hong asked him to come earlier." Cao Dapeng was not a liar, it was indeed his wife who asked him to come earlier.He came in with a basket of radishes and vegetables on his back, took out the purse given to him by his wife in his pocket, handed it to Qi Wanfeng, and said, "Ah Hong gave it to me."

"Well, I'll give it to my husband." Qi Wanfeng took it, he knew what was inside.

"Okay." Cao Dapeng rubbed his hands, still listening to his wife.

They didn't have a scale at home, so Cao Xiangnan asked Qi Wanfeng to estimate it, and after giving a rough estimate, he gave Cao Dapeng the money for the food, "Take it, take it back to Chen Hong, it's not for you." Seeing Cao Dapeng evade , he stuffed the money into his hand, and Cao Dapeng had no choice but to take it.

"Wanfeng, let's go to the town to buy a scale today."

"it is good."

Not long after, Sun Ji came over, followed by Sun Bailian and Cao Gang, and everyone arrived one by one.

Before dawn, their yard was bustling with activity.The river noodles steamed in the small kitchen were cut into strips one by one, put into the pot, and the soup was stewed on the stove. The stewed pork offal in the pot was very fragrant, exuding an attractive aroma.

It was the first day for Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng to come here. Sun Ji is a smart guy who understands everything after reading it. Cao Dapeng does whatever he is asked to do. He is a hard worker.With the addition of two more people, even more hor fun is made today than the day before, and the speed of making it is not slower than yesterday.

"Brother Gang..." Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang whispered a few words, and Cao Gang nodded.

He turned around and explained to Qi Wanfeng, Qi Wanfeng entered the house and gave him a money bag.

Today was Sun Bailian's turn to stay at home and look after the children, and they all went to the town to set up stalls.

After leaving the door, the bullock cart slowly set off on the road. Because there were too many people today, Cao Xiangnan continued to sit in the cart if it was difficult for him to walk, and the others took turns to get down and walk.
