The night before, before going to bed, he was thinking about what he could make with goat milk. The next day, after squeezing the goat, Cao Xiangnan began to experiment. The goat milk soup he made was loved by the children. He also used goat milk and flour to bake biscuits and small breads. The ingredients masked the spiciness of goat milk and had a light milky aroma.

The children and Wanfeng and Sun Bailian liked it very much, but Cao Gang didn't touch it after smelling it. Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan ate a piece and said it tasted good.

Therefore, Cao Xiangnan knew that this kind of thing was most loved by children and brothers. He left some for the children to take to school and share with other children, and he packed the rest and took it to Yipinzhai. After discussing with the shopkeeper Liu, these foods were put on the morning tea and sold as desserts, and the recipes were left behind. Cao Xiangnan knew that the shopkeeper Liu would send someone to deliver them to Nanyang later, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

Sun Ji sent a letter, which simply said that they were settled in Nanyang, and asked him not to worry, and also asked him to talk to his father. The letter just told him that he was safe, and nothing else. Cao Xiangnan brought the letter to Sun Yanshan, telling him that Sun Ji was fine, and Sun Yanshan later took the message back to the other families.

Besides, the boat docked that day, and Sun Ji brought four people to Nanyang City. Before they got off the boat, they were stunned by the prosperity of Nanyang City. Soon after, Sun Ji retracted his gaze and his face regained its composure. He knew what he was here for, so he woke up the others and took them off the boat.

When they arrived, there were people sent by Manager Fang waiting at the dock. Sun Ji took the people to move the goods off the boat, and then went to Yipinzhai with that person to meet Manager Fang.

Things went smoothly afterwards. Among the four of them, Manager Fang chose Sun Jing and Sun Sheng to stay in Yipinzhai to work, while Sun Bing and Sun Mao went to the night snack stall. They would switch back after a while. As for him, he stayed in Yipinzhai to work during the day and went to the night snack stall to help at night, which meant he had to work on both ends. Sun Ji had no objection to this.

They went to Nanyang City and settled down.

It was already mid-June, and the weather would get cold in three or four months, so before that, Cao Xiangnan had to get a batch of winter clothes to keep warm.

He originally brought back a batch of cotton from Nanyang, but the amount of this cotton was limited, so later he had to go to the village to collect wool, and go to the restaurants in the town to collect chicken and duck feathers. These things were handed over to Cao Gang, who showed great enthusiasm for his making clothes.

The factory building was being built, and it would take some time to be completed, so the place could not be used yet. When the family built the house, they left three rooms at the back for storage. Only one room was used to store things, and the other two were empty. After cleaning up and putting a table inside, it could be used as a temporary workshop.

This time, Cao Xiangnan did not plan to go to the cloth shop in the town to make clothes. Not only did these people not own him, but they would also leak his skills. What he could control now was his livelihood in the future, and he did not want to lose his job.

There were many brothers in the village who knew how to make clothes. After all, there were no ready-made clothes to sell now, so everyone bought cloth and made their own clothes. These people started learning to make clothes since they were young, and some of them were as skilled as embroiderers. Wu Yue is a good dressmaker, and Li Mei's craftsmanship is also good. They are all family members, and Cao Xiangnan also asked them to find a few trusted acquaintances.

After all the people were found and invited, except for the brothers who often came to Cao Jia Silang's house, many of the others came here for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel nervous. It's not that they haven't seen Cao Jia Silang before, but the Cao Jia Silang today is no longer the Cao Jia Silang of the past.

Some of the brothers even pulled their clothes embarrassedly, feeling a little embarrassed by the patches on their clothes. "Sit down, everyone, don't feel restrained." Cao Xiangnan naturally didn't know what these people were thinking. He thought to himself, am I so scary? He tried his best to make his smile more friendly.

Qi Wanfeng brought some snacks and fruits and put the food on the table. He just happened to hear what her husband said. He smiled and said, "You can eat whatever you want. Just treat it as your own home."

These guys in the village didn't know Qi Wanfeng before, but the changes in Qi Wanfeng now made them feel strange, and a sense of inferiority arose from the bottom of their hearts.

Qi Wanfeng was tall, tall and big like a man, and his life was hard before. He had endless work to do from morning to night, so he was skinny. But now it is different. She is pregnant, has a rounder figure, and looks much softer. Now she doesn't need to go out in the sun anymore. Her skin has become white, her body is well maintained, her face is rosy, and her life is good. There is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and one glance shows that he is a very good-looking person. Fortunately,

these people who were brought here were all familiar with each other, and their character was also okay. Now they think that Qi Wanfeng is blessed to marry Cao Silang and live a good life. There is inferiority and envy in their eyes, but no jealousy.

"Husband, I'm going out to be busy." Qi Wanfeng brought the things over. He knew that her husband asked everyone to come over because he had something to say, so he didn't stay here, but his husband would tell him everything in the future.

Sun Bailian also went out with Qi Wanfeng. Who told him that he couldn't make clothes? So he couldn't come now even if he wanted to.

It's not absolute that all boys can make clothes. For example, Sun Bailian was born not good at sewing. Her hands would get hurt as soon as she picked up a needle. But she was lucky. She had a good mother at home and a good husband after marriage. She never had to make clothes for him. Her cooking skills were also average, but her husband was proficient in everything and was willing to do everything.

Those who said that Sun Bailian married a man so young were all slapped in the face. They didn't see how good the life they are living now. When his house is built, it will be as big as Cao Silang's. I don't know how many people are envious of him in their hearts.

Since Qi Wanfeng came in, Cao Xiangnan's eyes have been on him, and he didn't come back to his senses until he left.

Seeing that everyone sat down, Cao Xiangnan smiled and said, "I believe everyone knows why I invited you here, but I still want to tell you again. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask after I finish speaking."

In fact, it is very simple. He invited everyone to come to make clothes, and everyone understands this, so everyone knows what they are doing here at Cao Jia Silang, and no one doesn't understand.

Then Cao Xiangnan talked to everyone about "labor contracts". There was no such thing as a labor contract here, so he explained it clearly to everyone, "I will hire you to make clothes and pay you the corresponding wages. If you do a good job, you will get extra wages every month. In addition, your wages will increase year by year."

"But there is one thing you must understand. If my clothing making skills leak out of your hands, and there is a problem, I will send that person to the authorities, and that person will have to compensate me for my losses, which may be hundreds or even thousands of taels, so you must understand this."

Cao Xiangnan took out the document that had been written in advance and read it word by word to everyone. When he could not guarantee that these people were all loyal to him, this document could play the most basic role. This document became the most basic prototype of the labor contract he established later, which guaranteed the interests of the workers and his own interests. Everyone was uneducated and

did not recognize the words on this paper. But everyone understood what Cao Xiangnan said.

"And if you believe me today and follow me, Cao Xiangnan, and sign and seal here, I will never treat you badly in the future. I dare not guarantee that you will become landlords and rich people, but as long as you work hard, I can guarantee that you will all build big houses with blue bricks and tiles and live a good life." Cao Xiangnan's words were also very sincere, without any boasting.

Cao Xiangnan's words were straightforward, and everyone understood that being able to build a big tiled house with green bricks was something that many of them would never dare to think about in their lifetime. They simply dreamed of living a good life, and everyone was moved.

"I, Wu Yue, believe in Cao Silang. I can't write, but I know how to sign. Xiangnan, I'll just put my handprint on it." Wu Yue was the first to stand up. He smiled at Cao Xiangnan, and when Cao Xiangnan nodded, he dipped his thumb in cinnabar and put a red stamp on it.

Later, Li Mei also stood up and put her handprint without saying a word.

"I see that everyone who follows Cao Silang has a good life. Today, I, Sun Hongmei, believe in you, Cao Silang. I will stamp this handprint!" Sun Hongmei is a handsome boy. He and Sun Bailian are cousins ​​within the fifth degree of mourning. He was found by Sun Bailian.

Seeing that Sun Bailian's life has improved, he also has envy in his eyes, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come to him so soon. At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart that as long as he signed this document, his family's future life would also be better.

The first three people stamped their handprints, and there was no reason for the brothers behind not to stamp their handprints. Otherwise, when everyone lives in a big tiled house with green bricks, only their family still lives in a broken mud house. Who can he cry to? This handprint must be stamped!

But Cao Xiangnan found that the people around him were all illiterate, which made him feel very upset. However, after all the red handprints were stamped, he returned one to the other party and took the other one. He said to everyone sincerely, "Thank you for trusting Xiangnan. Xiangnan promises that you will live a good life in the future."

This matter went more smoothly than Cao Xiangnan expected. Almost no one had any doubts and stamped their hands. If they were selling piglets, they could sell a lot of piglets. But it was this trust that made him work hard to live up to those who trusted him. This
