The big kitchen was almost built. It was quite spacious and divided into two rooms, one with a large stove and all kinds of kitchen utensils, and used as a kitchen. The other room was used for other purposes.

Thinking of the ovens in the modern world, Cao Xiangnan communicated his ideas with his master and made an oven. There was a stove underneath and a space in the middle. An iron plate was put inside and it could be used as an oven.

No one knew what such a strange thing was used for. The oven was built, and there was some time. Cao Xiangnan showed off his skills and started to make cakes for the children at home. After beating the eggs for a long time, he finally succeeded. With limited materials, he made a simple small cake and put it in the oven to bake.

Ten small bowls of cakes were baked in one oven. The tray was taken out. The cakes were puffed up one by one, exuding the fragrance of eggs.

"Dad, dad, I want some..."

"Uncle Xiangnan, I want some too..."

"Uncle Xiangnan." A group of children gathered around and shouted for food. The shy ones didn't say anything, but just looked at it eagerly, their eyes were full of desire.

"Go away quickly, be careful not to burn it. Let me take it out first." Cao Xiangnan was amused again. He was afraid that he would burn the little ones by holding the tray. Fortunately, the little ones were obedient when they saw that they were anxious to eat and let him take it out.

There was a long table outside. Cao Xiangnan put the tray on the table and sprinkled a layer of gum on it. It was done.

"Uncle Xiangnan, what is this?"

"This is called cake."

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious."

Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but smile when he saw his little An'an's face full of desire. He made a limited amount of cake. He counted the number of people and found that one cake was not enough for each child. After thinking about it, he discussed with the children, "Now one cake for each person is not enough, so how about one for two people?"

"Okay." Several children responded in crisp voices.

"Then An'an and Doudou will have one, Kangkang and your brother will have one, Xiangzi and your brother will have one..." After the bowls cooled down a bit, Cao Xiangnan divided the cakes according to one cake for each person. There was still some left after dividing it this way, so he took the rest back home, followed by a group of children. With delicious food, several children went to find their mothers.

"What is this?" Chen Hong asked.

"Uncle Xiangnan said it was a cake." His son Nianwang answered first.

"Here, there are a few more, let you try some." Cao Xiangnan gave a few to Chen Hong, then took the last one into the kitchen to find his son Wanfeng.

Qi Wanfeng saw his husband coming in with something strange. He remembered that his husband had just told him that he was going to make a cake. He didn't know what a cake was, but now that he saw it, he could guess that this was what his husband was talking about, so he asked, "Is this the cake you talked about?"

"Well, Wanfeng, you're really smart. I've divided a few small ones, and there are still a few left for you. This is for you." Cao Xiangnan put the small bowl in Qi Wanfeng's hand, staring at his Wanfeng. After seeing him take a bite, he looked at him with anticipation in his eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Qi Wanfeng didn't say anything, but that expression said it all. He used a spoon to scoop a mouthful of food into his husband's mouth. Seeing his husband open his mouth and eat it, he had a gentle smile in his eyes and said, "It's delicious."

"Wanfeng, let's open a snack shop later. What do you think?" Qi Wanfeng took a bite and put a mouthful into his mouth. Cao Xiangnan opened his mouth and ate it. The two of them shared a bowl of cake.

Qi Wanfeng thought about it seriously and nodded. He didn't know where his husband got so many strange things, but if his husband didn't say, he wouldn't ask. He just wanted to know that this was his husband.

The sweetness of the two hiding in the small kitchen was broken by their An An. An An had something delicious and walked in with his short legs to find Am, wanting to give Am something good to eat. Qi Wanfeng saw the child coming in and asked, "Why are you here, An'an?"

"Mom, eat, eat, here." An'an held up the food in his hand and gave it to his mom, with a sweet smile on his little face.

"Mom, I have some here too, um, it's delicious, An'an just wants to see if it's as delicious." Qi Wanfeng still lowered his head and ate the cake in the child's hand, then fed the child the food in his bowl, and finally gave the rest of the bowl to the child, patted the child's head, and let the child go out to eat.

The group of children were very happy to have delicious food, and the yard outside was hot and noisy. Some children were reluctant to finish the food, saying that they wanted to leave it for their dad.

After work, the workers came to eat. This was the most relaxing time of the day. Everyone had their own big bowl. After receiving the meal, they found a place to sit and eat, and talked with other workers while eating. They

ate rice, two vegetarian dishes, one meat and soup. The boss treated them with good food. Everyone didn't feel the hardship of working from morning to night every day. Some people even touched their belly and said, "I have gained weight recently."

In the summer, mosquitoes buzzed at night. Five adults and children lay on a small bed. The room was also very hot. The children were sleepy and fell asleep after laughing for a while. Qi Wanfeng also took towels to wipe the sweat off the children's bodies and covered them with small quilts, otherwise he was afraid that the children would be cold at night.

Cao Xiangnan likes to sleep with his Wanfeng in his arms. His Wanfeng's skin feels cool, and it's just right to sleep with him in his arms in this season. Qi Wanfeng leaned in her husband's arms, feeling a stove behind her, with a faint smile on her lips, and closed her eyes.

The next day, they had to get up early. People from several families would come over at the appointed time, and the small courtyard was busy. Now they only make rice noodles here in the morning. The weather is hot, and the meat bought the day before cannot be left until the next morning, otherwise it will go bad. The rest will be made in the shop.

Aning lives in the town. He will buy meat early in the morning, cook porridge and soup first, and then they will make the rest when they go back. There is no time. There is not so much work to do at home now. The speed of making rice noodles is also fast, half an hour earlier than usual when going to the town.

They consume a lot of vegetables here every day. The two shops in the town need a lot of vegetables every day, and there is also a lot of food at home. The vegetables are delivered to their home now after Chen Hong arranges it the day before. The next day, people who pick vegetables from the fields will deliver them to his home. Someone delivers vegetables every day, and the amount delivered recently is relatively large.

The shops in the town have been doing good business since they opened. The daily revenue is not less than when they set up stalls. I think that after deducting the monthly rent, the money earned will not be less than before. Sun Ji was in charge of the stall business, so Cao Dapeng was not worried about it because he could only take charge of the cooked food.

The kitchen at home was also built, and Cao Xiangnan began to prepare pickled vegetables.

The sun rose from the horizon, and in the small village, people in every household got up and started a day's work.

Early in the morning, someone brought vegetables just picked from the fields. After weighing them, Cao Xiangnan paid the other party. The boy who received the money said a few nice words, put the money from selling vegetables in his arms, and happily went back with the empty basket.

Many people in the village now raise chickens and ducks. Those who didn't raise chickens and ducks before started raising them because they thought that when the neighbors raised chickens and ducks, they would have nothing left. The village is managed by the government. Now that there are more livestock in the village, every household cleans the chicken coops and piles up the feces as fertilizer for growing vegetables.

In the village, everyone who had some land planted vegetables. The vegetables were sent to Cao Silang's house and exchanged for copper plates. This added an extra source of income. Some people's dinner tables gradually had the smell of meat every few days.

In a short period of time, the entire appearance of Caojia Village changed. People walked with smiles on their faces. When neighbors met, they would ask each other how big their chickens and ducks were. They would compete with each other to see whose chickens and ducks were bigger and whose vegetables were better. But Cao Xiangnan didn't know all this. His home was outside the village and he didn't often go into the village.

The washed vegetables were brought in, and Cao Xiangnan was in charge of the pickling. Qi Wanfeng would come to help when he was free. The vegetables were packed in a jar and placed in a cool place. He was busy for three consecutive days before he pickled all the vegetables ordered by Fang, and they would be ready for sale in a few days.

The kimchi from Yipinzhai in the town has always been selling well, and Cao Xiangnan has always been making kimchi from Liu, the shopkeeper's shop. Pickled fish

has been selling especially well since it was launched, but it takes longer to pickle pickled cabbage than kimchi. After the last batch has been delivered, it will take several days for the next batch to be ready. Now Fang, the shopkeeper, has also ordered a batch of pickled cabbage. It seems that Nanyang City is also planning to promote pickled fish. Cao Xiangnan has also pickled all the pickled cabbage.

When Sun Ji came back in the evening, he said that Liu, the shopkeeper, had someone come to the store to look for him, but he was not there. Liu, the shopkeeper, had someone leave a message, saying that he should go to Yipinzhai tomorrow.

"Well, OK, I'll go with you tomorrow."

It happened that the family affairs had also come to an end. The roof of the house had been covered with tiles, and the floor tiles were being laid in the house. There was no rush to build the warehouse. The warehouse was just beginning to be built, and the outer wall was still under construction. This place is close to the mountains. In order to avoid the danger of hungry wild animals coming down the mountain in winter, it is safer to build a wall.

In the past few days at home, Cao Xiangnan deliberately followed up on the construction of a bathroom at home. Although he had communicated with Master Feng, he still had to instruct the people below on some things.

The bathroom at home is divided into two rooms. The inner one is used as a bathroom for bathing. A water tank is installed on top to store water. The water is drained down through a bamboo pipe and controlled by a simple valve. This will make it much more convenient to use water at home in the future. The toilet is also at home. He has to instruct the workers to dig a septic tank and build a drainage channel. The process is not difficult. The main thing is that everyone has never done it and doesn’t know how to do it. Once he explains it on the spot, everyone understands it.

"It turns out that this toilet can be so well maintained. It's amazing." Master Feng was amazed.

Thinking that there were many people coming and going in the house, he built a toilet outside. In this way, the problem of going to the toilet would be solved.

After Master Feng finished building his house, he was about to start building Cao Gang's house. Sun Bailian was surprised to hear that his family was also going to build a house. He asked, "Ah, my family is going to build a house too?"

"Puff..." Cao Xiangnan laughed and asked Cao Gang, "Didn't you tell Bailian?"

"I forgot." Cao Gang's expressionless face was embarrassed at this moment. He just remembered that he forgot to tell his wife about such an important matter.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

"My family will wait until Cao Gang's house is finished before we build a new house. When the time comes, I'll need Silang's help." Chen Hong likes Cao Xiangnan's house very much. She thinks that they will also build a house like this in the future, but it is much more beautiful than the houses in the village.

"Ah, okay, okay." It turned out that the construction of the house fell on him now, and Cao Xiangnan was not unhappy. "When the time comes, let's ask Master Feng to come." This way he can save a lot of trouble.

Master Feng's work for the second half of the year has been booked, so Master Feng and the men he brought with him are also very happy. Having a full schedule of work means that there will be wages every day in the future. In this way, there will be no work before the snow in winter, and the money earned in this year is not small, so there will be money to go home for the New Year.
