It was getting darker and darker. The days were getting shorter and shorter, the nights were getting longer, and it was getting darker and darker.

The lanterns on the street were lit one by one, and the lights in the building were turned on.

After talking with Shopkeeper Fang, Cao Xiangnan asked someone to prepare things for tomorrow. Thinking that there were too few molds for making mooncakes, he thought about drawing a few new patterns for the master to make, so that he could come up with a few new patterns.

Hearing that someone was looking for him, Cao Xiangnan put down what he was doing and came out. He didn't expect it to be this Young Master Shen. Cao Xiangnan didn't expect this Young Master Shen to come so soon. He thought he would come tomorrow at the earliest.

"Young Master Shen." After learning the identity of this young master from Shopkeeper Fang, Cao Xiangnan was a little more polite to him.

"Shen Zhengyang." Although he was fine in the morning, Shen Zhengyang didn't like the tone of this person talking to him now, he said.

"Cao Xiangnan." After reacting, Cao Xiangnan smiled and gave his name.

He later learned the name and identity of this young master Shen from Shopkeeper Fang, and then he remembered that they had sat down to have morning tea, but they had not formally introduced each other.

"Then I will call you Xiangnan, and you can call me Zhengyang." Young Master Shen is a person who does whatever he wants, but if someone he doesn't like calls him by his name, he will absolutely not allow it.

"Okay, I'll call you Zhengyang." Seeing the other party's attitude towards him, Cao Xiangnan also threw away his politeness.

He felt that they, Xiangnan and Zhengyang, were a perfect match. Could it be that this person was also a time traveler like him? Cao Xiangnan muttered in his heart, and looked at this young master carefully.

"Come and try our unique barbecue in Yipinzhai. I guarantee you will like it." Yipinzhai had barbecue in the evening. Cao Xiangnan invited people to sit down, asked the servant to bring the oven, added charcoal fire, and put the barbecue on it.

Once the barbecue was put on, a layer of oil was brushed on it, and the fragrance could be smelled soon.

"This is the first time I've seen people grilling things like this." Shen Zhengyang rarely comes to Yipinzhai on weekdays, so naturally he didn't know that Yipinzhai already had this unique barbecue. Seeing that the other party was having fun grilling, he later started to do it himself.

"What is this?"

"Grilling sauce, put it in when it's cooked."

Bottle after bottle of seasoning, Cao Xiangnan told the other party what it was one by one, and after the seasoning was washed and put in, the taste became more fragrant.

"Can you drink?" Cao Xiangnan asked someone to send green wine. In fact, people who eat barbecue prefer to drink rice wine, which tastes better. With his alcohol tolerance, two taels of rice wine can make him sleep until tomorrow, so it is better to switch to red wine with a lower concentration, so that he can drink two glasses.

"Of course." Shen Zhengyang said with a look of "Don't underestimate me".

After taking the first sip, he found that the taste of this wine was a little different. "What kind of wine is this?" he asked.

"Green wine, made from a kind of fruit." Because people in this world don't call grapes ordinary, but sour fruit, even if he said grapes, the other party didn't know what it was. Cao Xiangnan only said a kind of fruit, "This wine is relatively low in concentration, but it is also a bit strong after drinking too much. Just drink two glasses lightly, don't drink too much."

In his concept, it is best not to drink too much wine. Who made him have a poor alcohol tolerance? !

"If you like it, I'll ask someone to bring you two bottles when you leave later." Cao Xiangnan said.

Seeing that the other party didn't refuse, he liked it.

When the barbecue was cooked and spiced, the flavor came out.

"Come, have a taste." Cao Xiangnan gave a skewer to Shen Zhengyang. Seeing that he liked it, he also ate a skewer of mutton. He ate a lot of barbecue on the day he arrived. He didn't dare to eat anything hot in the following days. Although he knew that these things tasted good, he had to control himself and not eat too much.

These charcoal fires are smokeless when they are burned, and there is a fragrance, so it doesn't feel smoky even if you put it on the table to roast. Now the weather at night is getting cooler, and you won't feel too hot even if you sit in front of the charcoal fire, so more and more people are eating barbecue in the store now, but there are more people eating supper at the night snack stall.

In recent days, Cao Xiangnan has been busy with the affairs of the night snack stall, preparing for the coming winter. He originally planned to go to the night snack stall, but since Young Master Shen was here, he would stay here and have a barbecue with him.

"Tell me in detail what you said this morning." Shen Zhengyang said.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at the middle-aged man standing behind Young Master Shen, thinking that he should be the steward.

The Shen family is a famous family in Nanyang. In the past, the Shen family was famous because the Shen family was a wealthy merchant family in the local area. Later, a senior official of the fifth rank was born, and a merchant family slowly changed to a steward. What made the Shen family suddenly jump up to become a famous family was that the Shen family had a noble concubine, that is, Shen Zhengyang's aunt, and now the most beloved concubine of the emperor.

Shen's father, that is, Shen Zhengyang's father, died of illness very early, and he didn't have time to enjoy the glory and wealth that his sister brought to their Shen family. Shen Zhengyang was the only child of the Shen family, so later on, the huge industry fell into the hands of Shen Zhengyang. Other relatives wanted to get a piece of the pie, but Old Madam Shen was not someone who could be easily bullied, so no one could get a piece of the pie. In addition, a noble concubine appeared in the Shen Mansion later, and no one dared to take advantage of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Zhengyang was spoiled by his grandmother and mother. It's not that this young master is a playboy. He just doesn't like to study. He still has the talent of their Shen family in doing business.

Although the one in the palace was spoiled, he knew it in his heart. The people on her mother's side were not like other families who would become arrogant and look down on others just because they had a concubine. How did the Shen family live before? Now the Shen family is even more low-key than before.

The old lady of the Shen family lost her husband in middle age, and her son died young. The only son was favored by the emperor who was on a tour and entered the palace. She has no children so far, and it is estimated that she will not have children in the future. Fortunately, although her son is gone, she left behind a grandson. He does not ask for this grandson to pass the imperial examination, but only wants this grandson to live to the age of eighty.

Due to various reasons, Shen Zhengyang later did not like to study and only did business, and the people in the family let him do what he wanted.

After all, it was his aunt who still missed her natal family and would also help. No matter how young Shen Zhengyang was, and the people around him were more sophisticated than the others, no one dared to bully this young master Shen, who managed the Shen family's business shops very well.

Cao Xiangnan now doesn't understand the situation in Feng Chao Zhong, but after a short period of time to deal with it, he feels good about this young master Shen. He has no ambitions and is a very direct person. It was true that the manager who followed him was very thoughtful, but it was Shen Zhengyang who made the final decision, wasn't it?

"Young Master Shen." Shopkeeper Fang came over when he heard that Young Master Cao and Young Master Shen were here.

So when Cao Xiangnan and Shen Zhengyang were talking about baby products, Fang, the shopkeeper, was also there. He was also familiar with the manager behind them, and the manager also sat down with them, and they started talking.

After sending the people away, Cao Xiangnan said to Fang, "Thank you."

"Why should we say these polite words?" Fang, the shopkeeper, waved his hand, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

Counting the days when her husband left, seeing the crescent moon in the sky getting bigger little by little, Qi Wanfeng knew that her husband would come back before the full moon, and she felt more expectant in her heart.

When the previous village chief was released from prison, she realized that he was no longer the village chief of Caojia Village, and even the new village chief had been elected. The man who was released after being in prison for half a month was so thin that he looked like he had aged ten years. He sat there blankly at home without saying a word.

"Wow..." His stupid son also came back with him, sitting there crying and shouting, "My wife is gone."

"I want my wife, I want my wife..."

"My wife, my wife, she is gone!" Cao also came back with him, with a gleam of resentment in his eyes. He was beaten with thirty big sticks and almost died of fever in prison. It was all caused by that bastard Wang, who also caused her husband to lose his position as village chief. Those who

used to flatter them and refused to let them go now wanted to stay away from them. Even when they came back, no one came to visit them.

The man who brought the person back saw his father and mother coming back, and then saw the silly little brother sitting on the ground crying, and sighed, "Father, mother, go wash up, the kitchen has prepared food for you, come back and eat something."

He and his wife moved out of the house a long time ago and built a house outside. The little brother at home was good when he was good, but when he got crazy, he would beat anyone. He also ran away because the little brother hurt his wife and children, so they all moved away. Now

it has become like this because of this silly little brother. If I had known earlier, it would be better to let this little brother die this year! But he only dared to keep these words in his heart, and didn't dare to say them out loud. His mother had reached the point of being obsessed with this little brother, and it was useless for them, the brothers, to say anything.

Because the deceased Cao Wenchun jumped into the lake and died, Wang, the successor, did not directly kill her husband's eldest brother from his ex-wife, but she indirectly persecuted him to death, so she was sentenced to three years of hard labor. Cao Gui, the father, could not escape responsibility and was sent to do hard labor.

After being imprisoned for a period of time, Cao Ageng and his family of three were released.

Later, Qi Wanfeng heard from Chen Hong that the village chief and the previous village chief were released from prison, while Cao Gui and Wang were sentenced to hard labor. He could only sigh in his heart.

"They deserved it!" Chen Hong sighed when he saw Qi Wanfeng. He was actually angry about what the village chief's family and Cao Gui's family had done. He still remembered that the timid and inferior brother who had died had grown vegetables and asked him to sell them, but he was gone in the blink of an eye.

He also hated himself for not discovering this earlier, otherwise the boy would not have died.

But now it was useless to say anything, the person was already dead.
