The children in the yard were all lying on the table writing big characters, making a lot of noise. Even with adults watching them, they didn't dare to run around. They all sat there writing big characters. As they wrote, they turned into a group of little cats, with ink on their faces.

"Jingbao, you drew my face with your brush!" Kang Kang, who was writing seriously with his head down, was drawn on the face by the brush. He reached out and touched it, and it was black.

His face was also black!

Jingbao, whose face had turned into a little cat, felt guilty and reached out and said, "I'm sorry, brother, let me wipe it for you."

Little did he know that the more he wiped his brother's face, the blacker it became. Both of his hands were covered with ink, and his brother's face was stained with it.

"Hahahaha..." When everyone saw Kang Kang's face, they all laughed, holding their stomachs.

Jingbao wanted to hide in the corner, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it."

If you did it on purpose, I would beat you! Kang Kang frowned and looked serious. He swept a circle of laughing friends and said, "Write seriously and don't laugh!"

Everyone covered their mouths, and some pointed at the faces of the people next to them and laughed sullenly.

An An drew several strokes on Xiangzi's face. When he was looked at by An An's guilty eyes, he buried his head and wrote big characters seriously again. An An looked guilty, secretly glanced at his brother, then looked at the stars on the right, and quickly lowered his head to write.

The sun shone on the ground, and time passed little by little.

The children in the yard were noisy, and Qi Wanfeng didn't have much time to pay attention to the children. After her husband left, he had been looking towards the gate, wondering when her husband would come back from the mountains.

It was still early, and they could take a break after making the rice noodles. Sun Bailian, who was still with Qi Wanfeng, noticed his actions, smiled helplessly, and said, "Wanfeng, don't worry, my husband is here, he will help you take good care of Xiangnan."

Qi Wanfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know." But thinking of the many dangers in the mountains, he couldn't help but worry, and his husband was not like Cao Gang who often went into the mountains.

His adoptive father died so early because he was injured when he went into the mountains to hunt when he was young. His adoptive father died a few years after he married into the Cao family. Actually, he was reluctant to let his husband go into the mountains, but he couldn't stop him. In his current state, he couldn't go in with them, so he could only wait at home and worry.

At this time, the two people who went up the mountain also returned with a full load.

Seeing his husband's figure appear at the door, Qi Wanfeng stood up suddenly and strode towards his husband. Sun Bailian was startled when he saw Qi Wanfeng's action from behind. He also saw someone coming back, so he stood up, shook his head and followed.

"Husband, you're back." Qi Wanfeng strode over, smiled on his face, and said.

"Yes, we're back." When Cao Xiangnan saw Qi Wanfeng's look, he knew that he was worried about him, so he reached out and held his hand, and went in with him. There were a lot of things in the backpack on his back. He put it down and said, "We picked a lot of mushrooms and fruits, and Brother Cao Gang also hunted wild game. We are in for a treat tonight. I will show you my skills tonight, and then you can stay at our house for dinner."

"Okay." Seeing her husband coming back, Qi Wanfeng felt relieved and smiled a little more relaxed.

Sun Bailian smiled at her husband when she saw him coming back. Seeing his wife smiling at him, Cao the Hunter had a deep look in his eyes. He put down the backpack on his back, took the game and walked towards the kitchen to avoid being seen by the children.

"Dad..."

"Uncle Xiangnan." A group of children also threw away their pens and surrounded him.

"Wanfeng, go get a basket and put some fruits in it. Wash some fruits for the children to eat." Cao Xiangnan was packing up when he saw a group of children running over. He looked up and saw faces drawn like cats. He couldn't help laughing and said with a fierce face, "Go wash your faces. I just asked you to write, but you wrote on your faces."

"Hehehe, look at your face."

"Hahaha" The group of children looked at each other and laughed at each other.

They knew that there was water in the bathroom of Uncle Xiangnan's house, so they all ran in to wash their faces. They didn't need adults to lead them at all.

Sun Bailian quickly walked to the back and said, "I'll go get a basket to wash. Wanfeng, you take the children to wash their faces."

The children all ran away. Qi Wanfeng, who was standing there, saw Sun Bailian go to get a basket.

"Don't worry about me, I'm back now." Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Cao Xiangnan stood up and hooked his fingers with his hands, rubbing them affectionately.

Qi Wanfeng was frightened by her husband grabbing her hands and rubbing them like this, and she shrank her hands and looked left and right. The children were still washing their faces inside, but Sun Bailian, who had gone to get the basket, came back. Sun Bailian, who was carefree, didn't notice that he had ruined someone else's good deeds. "I brought the basket." He said.

Seeing the purple little fruits in the basket, Qi Wanfeng asked curiously, "Husband, why did you pick this? It's sour and can't be eaten."

"Yes, it's so sour, why did you pick it?" Sun Bailian smiled.

"You will know when the time comes. This is too sour, so I won't give it to the children." Cao Xiangnan blinked his eyes, keeping it a secret. "These peaches are ripe. Pick some good ones and wash them for the children to eat. I plan to make the rest into preserved fruits to sell."

"Preserved fruits?" Sun Bailian was curious.

"It's the flesh of the fruit that has been dried in the sun." Cao Xiangnan explained.

At this time, the children also washed their faces and came back. The fast runners ran in front. The washed fruits were placed there for the children to eat. At this time, Cao Gang, who went to the back to release the prey, also came in.

The children put writing aside when they had food. Cao Xiangnan did not force the children to stay there for a long time to study. Children's attention is limited. It's okay to study for a while, rest for a while, and play for a while.

After everyone sat down and drank a sip of water, Cao Xiangnan told everyone about his idea of ​​making preserved fruits from fruits. He also planned to open a shop to sell snacks.

Don't look down on these snacks. You should know how high the profit of these snacks is. It is simply a huge profit. The cost is a little higher for meat jerky, but it will be more expensive to sell. You should know how much revenue a shop selling dried fruits can make in a year in modern times. These things taste good, so there is no need to worry about no one buying them.

Moreover, this kind of shop does not need a large storefront. When the time comes, just find a small storefront, the rent will be cheaper, and the interior can be decorated to be more beautiful. The things inside are delicious, and I think it will be most popular with boys and children.

"Well, your idea is good." Sun Bailian was moved when she heard it, mainly because she thought about the delicious food. As long as it was made by Cao Xiangnan, it must be delicious.

Qi Wanfeng has always supported her husband's ideas. He was just a little curious about what else could be done with these fruits. If these fruits could be preserved, they would have dried fruits to eat in the winter. Moreover, her husband said that these things could be sold for a lot of money.

Cao Gang sat there without saying anything, but from his look, he knew it in advance and he seemed to support it.

"So how do you make preserved fruits?" Sun Bailian asked.

"You'll know in a while. I'll teach you how to make these preserved fruits and dried meats." He couldn't make these things by himself. Cao Xiangnan didn't plan to do all of them by himself. He couldn't make the money by himself, so he decided to share some with everyone.

He was planning to get Sun Bailian to do it. As for Cao Gang, he didn't seem to be interested in it. These matters will be arranged when the preserved fruits are ready and the shop is ready. When

the garment factory is built, Cao Xiangnan also plans to build another place for food processing. If there are few things, it is not a big deal to make them here, but if there are many, there will not be enough space here, so he still needs to find another place to make these things. Anyway, the land has been bought, and as for the places, they will be built one by one. If they cannot be covered this year, they will be covered next year. They will be covered eventually.

As for these sour fruits, Cao Xiangnan picked them up and told everyone in front of everyone's curious eyes, "I plan to use them to make wine."

"You plan to use these sour fruits to make wine?" Sun Bailian looked at him with a look of "Are you kidding me?"

"You will know it when the time comes. You won't believe me now." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile, still speaking the truth.

People nowadays don't know that many fruits can be made into fruit wine, and these sour grapes can be made into delicious wine. And according to the price of wine in this world, if the wine he makes tastes good, he will probably make a lot of money.

At noon, the guys working in the small workshop at the back also got off work and walked out. Now everyone's skills are sophisticated, and the speed of making clothes is faster. A lot of clothes have been made. But this quantity is still not enough. When the factory building is built, they will have to increase their efforts to catch up.

But there is not much cotton this year. After the cotton is planted, the quantity will be larger.

Now that he has a large sum of money in his hands, Cao Xiangnan is no longer worried about running out of funds. He believes that he will be able to double the money he has invested.

After noon, Cao Xiangnan taught Wanfeng and Sun Bailian how to make dried fruits from these fruits. After pickling, the fruit pulp will be dried in the sun. However, drying in the sun is too slow, and there is not much time now. Cao Xiangnan simply used an oven to dry the moisture in the pulp, and it can be made into preserved fruits when taken out.

Although the pickling time is not long enough, the taste and texture are still good.

"How is it?" Cao Xiangnan asked, looking at the few people who took a bite.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and nodded.

"It's delicious." Sun Bailian nodded and ate two pieces in a row, thinking that this deal was a success.
