Chapter 154 Looking for the Bottle



The floor tiles in the house were laid, the doors and windows were installed by the masters, and the outer wall was built. On this day, Cao Gang's house was also built. If Cao Xiangnan had not transferred all the workers away, this house would have been built long ago.

The custom-made furniture from the town was pulled in by trucks, and the master who came with him brought two apprentices to assemble the furniture. Like his furniture, this batch of furniture can also be disassembled and assembled. When the furniture was delivered, many people from the village came to watch the excitement. Cao Xiangnan came here early in the morning to help.

The furniture was unloaded from the trucks and carried into the house. Sun Bailian invited people to drink water and said, "Thank you for your hard work. A few big coins are not much. Everyone can buy a bowl of wine." He also gave a small amount of money to the driver who delivered the things. He didn't know how to do this before, but after seeing Cao Silang do it several times, he also learned it.

"Thank you, boss." The men who took the money thanked the boss, said a few nice words, and put the money in their pockets.

In the past, Caojia Village was known as the poorest village in the vicinity. Not to mention giving them rewards, even people who went to their store to buy things didn't have money. Now they have been to Caojia Village several times, and they have delivered a lot of things, and they have all received rewards from the boss. Looking at this big house, if there are still people who say that Caojia Village is the poorest village, they will be the first to disagree.

The man who was moving things in happened to see this scene, and his mouth curled up, and he walked in without stopping.

The driver and the assistant who delivered the things left first, and the master brought the little apprentice to install the furniture here. After installing the furniture, they will wait until the sun sets, and then they will send the master back.

Cao Gang's house is the same as his house, with five rooms and two living rooms, two bathrooms and a dining room, and the kitchen is at the back door. Although the structure is not quite the same as his house, it is similar. The house adopts a simple and bright style, and the lighting in the house is good, which is comfortable to look at.

Cao Gang's family doesn't have many people, so they can spare two rooms to be used as guest rooms temporarily. But one day, Cao Gang might add more people to his house, so Cao Xiangnan took this into consideration and simply used the design of five rooms and two halls when building the house. Now that two more rooms have been built, it's also good.

"Brother Cao Gang, this is the big house. You and Bai Lian will live in this house from now on." The bed set in the master bedroom was assembled and put in, and the wardrobe, table and chairs were all put away one by one. It looked so presentable that Cao Xiangnan was afraid that Cao Gang didn't know it was the room he would live in from now on. "The smaller room next to it is for the children."

"...This is the bathroom."

"There are also beds, tables and cabinets in the extra rooms. The beds and cabinets we ordered at that time were all based on the rooms in your house. There are ones for every room."

"Yeah." Cao Gang looked around. Although he always adhered to the principle of having a place to live, he thought this house was indeed good when he saw it.

A thought flashed through his mind: it was right to let Cao Xiangnan build the house. If he had done it himself, he really couldn't have built such a good house. Like all men, he likes to provide his wife and children with good food and shelter.

"This is the fireplace. In winter, we burn firewood here. Then it will be warm outside and in the sleeping room." So they don't have to worry about the cold in winter. Cao Xiangnan introduced the places in this house to Cao Gang one by one.

Seeing that Cao Gang was staring at the fireplace and didn't leave, Cao Xiangnan said, "Maybe you can light it up and try it out." He knew what this man was thinking. Based on his understanding of Cao Gang, this man would not believe it until he put it in front of him.

"Yeah." Cao Gang nodded very seriously.

"..." It's such a hot day, you'd better wait until I leave before lighting the fireplace! Cao Xiangnan was very upset. He didn't want to bake in this room yet, but he could first take the dried fruits that were being dried and bake them. Maybe they could be dried faster.

With the master here, there would be no problem in assembling the furniture, so Cao Xiangnan went home.

The batch of dried fruits that were dried in the morning were still new, and some of the dried fruits that were dried a few days ago were almost done. He came to turn over the dried fruits in the middle of the day wearing a hat and tried a few pieces. They tasted pretty good. Because the fruit itself tastes sweet, the taste is concentrated after being dried and it looks even sweeter. He quickly turned over the dried fruits and ran away.

He was also reluctant to let Wanfeng bask in the sun, and now he wanted to pamper his wife like a baby.

Qi Wanfeng, who was at home, saw her husband running back, and quickly handed him the water, "Come, husband, drink some water." She reached out to help her husband take off his hat, and saw sweat on his forehead, so Qi Wanfeng naturally took up the handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his husband.

"Thank you." Cao Xiangnan looked at the person who wiped his sweat with bright eyes, and his face turned red. When Qi Wanfeng retracted his hand, he reached out and grabbed his hand, holding it in his palm. At

this time, the children had taken a nap, and the room was quiet.

"Wanfeng, you should also go to sleep for a while. I still need to go to Bailian to see if the things inside are ready and see if there is anything I can help with." Now Cao Xiangnan is busy all day long. He feels like he is spinning like a top, never stopping, but he doesn't feel tired, because it is worth it no matter how tired he is now.

Qi Wanfeng's face suddenly turned red when his husband looked at him so directly. He didn't pull his hand back hard when it was grabbed. He lowered his head and didn't dare to meet his husband's eyes. "Yeah." He responded softly.

In the end, Cao Xiangnan accompanied his wife into the house. Qi Wanfeng is now very sleepy. As soon as he got on the bed and closed his eyes, he fell asleep soon. Seeing that the person had fallen asleep, Cao Xiangnan put a thin blanket around the person's waist, bent down and kissed the sleeping person on the forehead, and then he tiptoed out.

"Come over and help, move this bench a little closer."

"Put that shelf over there."

"Come a little closer, yes, that's right."

The benches in the living room were put up one by one, and the beds in the room were installed and put in one by one. There were also bookcases in the children's rooms. The big things were installed first, and then the small things, tables, chairs, and things in the room were added one by one, slowly filling up this empty room, and gradually it looked like a home.

In the afternoon, the children woke up, and when they got up, they didn't see the adults, so Jingbao led everyone to his home. When Jingbao saw the new house, he grabbed Am's clothes and asked excitedly, "Am, Am, is this our house?"

"Yes, it's our new house." Sun Bailian heard the child's words, grabbed the child and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing the older one standing aside, he reached out and touched the child's head. Kang Kang has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he doesn't need to spend any time on him. Although he favors the second boy more in his heart, this kind of feeling for the older and younger son is irreplaceable.

"Will we live here in the future?" Jingbao asked.

"Yes, we will live here in the future. We will move here in two days." After they finish packing everything today, they can move here.

The things in the house had not been packed up yet, so Cao Xiangnan called Sun Bailian to take the group of children back to his place. "Wanfeng is probably still sleeping, so you stay there and look after the children. Brother Cao Gang and I are here," he said.

"Okay." Sun Bailian led the group of children away.

When the sun was setting, with the help of the two of them, these things were completed earlier than they thought. After the last wooden frame was assembled, everything was completed.

"Alright." Cao Xiangnan looked around the things in the house and felt very satisfied.

Dinner was still being prepared at this time, and he kept a few people here to have dinner. The master politely refused him and just said that he had to go back to the shop. It happened that he had something to do in the town, so he and Cao Gang sent the master back.

When they arrived in the town, they sent the master and his two little apprentices there, and then they left.

"Brother Cao Gang, let's go to Yipinzhai." Cao Xiangnan directed Cao Gang to drive the carriage to Yipinzhai. He had something to do with Manager Liu.

"Hang on..." The carriage stopped at the door of Yipinzhai. The waiter who came out saw that it was Master Cao and hurriedly welcomed him in. Manager Liu saw Cao Xiangnan coming and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few days. What are you busy with recently? I haven't seen you come to town."

"I'm making some small things. I'll send them over in two days for you, brother." Cao Xiangnan smiled but said nothing.

"Okay, okay, then I'll be waiting for your good stuff, brother. Come, let's go in and have a cup of tea." When Manager Liu heard this, he knew that something new was coming out, so he led the man upstairs to the private room and asked the waiter to bring a pot of good tea.

"Brother, do you know where someone makes this? I need to find someone to order a batch of goods." Cao Xiangnan told Manager Liu what he was looking for. What he didn't expect was that the two-tank wine he brewed for the first time was very successful. The alcohol inside had already fermented. He just had to wait to go back tonight to filter it out, and then he could put it into a container and send it to Yipinzhai.

People rely on clothes, and wine relies on packaging. A beautiful bottle can improve the grade of the wine. He was now looking for a kind of celadon that was more refined than the original. The ceramic craftsmanship of this era was already quite mature, but ceramics were relatively rough. It was OK to use it to store white wine, but it was not suitable for storing wine.

He remembered that he had seen this kind of celadon at Fang Ziye's estate last time, and it looked much more beautiful.

Just at this moment, the waiter came to deliver tea. Manager Liu gave a few instructions, and soon the waiter came with a set of exquisite tea sets. The waiter who brought the tea sets in left.

"Are you looking for this?" Manager Liu asked.

"Yes, yes, this is it." Cao Xiangnan reached out and picked up a cup, very happy. This was the celadon he was looking for, but the design had to be custom-made. As long as they knew the origin of this set of tea sets, they could find someone to make the bottles.

Cao Gang sat there calmly drinking tea, listening to Cao Xiangnan's words, and roughly knew what he was looking for. In connection with the sour fruit wine he had recently brewed, he also had an idea of ​​why he wanted to find this bottle.

"Brother Cao Gang, let's go." After thanking the shopkeeper Liu, they drove directly to the village that the shopkeeper Liu mentioned after leaving Yipinzhai.
