Cao Xiangnan first told the two boys about the things to pay attention to, and asked them to tidy up the room according to his requirements, so that the seedlings he had grown with great difficulty would not die overnight. He would have no place to cry then.

The rest would be for someone to build a shed tomorrow to provide a suitable environment for the seedlings to grow.

"Have you taken note?"

"I have."

"If you don't understand anything, be sure to ask. I will try my best to teach you what I know." Cao Xiangnan was only responsible for teaching the two boys. The two boys were also smart. Once he said something, the two boys understood it.

As for how Manager Fang arranged it, it was Manager Fang's business. But seeing that Manager Fang looked like he had seen money, Cao Xiangnan knew that these mushrooms would definitely make a lot of money.

Now Fang Ziye's remuneration for him is not low. The more money Yipinzhai can make, the more he can get, so he has no intention of keeping it to himself. He will teach people as much as possible, and when money makes money, he will just sit and wait for dividends.

A few days after learning from Manager Fang that he would not be back to Nanyang so soon, Young Master Shen sent people to Yipinzhai to look for him several times. Now that he is back, Cao Xiangnan also borrowed someone from Manager Fang to go to the Shen Mansion to inform Shen Zhengyang. It

was getting dark outside very quickly. He didn't expect that Shen Zhengyang would bring people to Yipinzhai to look for him right after he sent someone to deliver the message.

"Zhengyang, why are you here now?" Cao Xiangnan asked in surprise when he saw Young Master Shen coming.

"Humph, I thought you were going home to enjoy your sweet wife and not coming to Nanyang anymore." Young Master Shen had been waiting for several days but no one came. The craftsmen had already sold a lot of things, and he was waiting for someone to come and start business, but there was no one in sight.

He was the young master of the Shen family, but he had few friends he could talk to. Now he finally made a friend, but he ran away after just a few days of getting to know each other. To put it bluntly, Young Master Shen was unhappy that he had no status in his friends' hearts. Unfortunately, Cao Xiangnan didn't know Young Master Shen's awkward thoughts. He was quite happy to see someone coming and asked about the things made by the craftsmen.

It was getting dark now, and the night snack stall was open for business. They had eaten barbecue here last time, so Cao Xiangnan took Young Master Shen there so that he could see how the arrangements were.

Now that autumn had arrived, it was the right time for nourishment, and the night snack stall had already started making mutton hotpot. When he left last time, they were just preparing for it, but this time when he came, the hotpot was already made, so Cao Xiangnan brought people over to eat hotpot.

The fresh mutton was cut and sold on the spot, and you could buy the part you liked. The soup base in the pot was cooked first, and the mutton that the customers bought was put into the pot and cooked, and the cooked mutton was sent to the customers' seats. Charcoal fire was added under the stove on the table, and the cooked soup was brought over to continue stewing. There were also many vegetarian dishes, meat dishes and pasta dishes on the menu. You can order what you like.

"Sit here for a while. I'll ask someone to cut the mutton and cook it." Cao Xiangnan took Young Master Shen to sit down first. He went over to order the mutton so that someone could cook it first.

It had not been long since the restaurant opened, and many customers had come to eat. The prices of the food here were affordable, and most of the people who came to eat were ordinary men. People in Nanyang had some money in their hands, so they were willing to go out and have a bite of spicy food.

When Manager Zhou saw the young boss coming over, he greeted him warmly. Cao Xiangnan pointed over there and said that there were friends here. Manager Zhou understood and did not talk to the person any more. After having the meat cut and cooked, Cao Xiangnan went back.

"How do you feel about this place?" Cao Xiangnan asked when he saw Young Master Shen sitting here looking around.

"You look familiar with this place." Young Master Shen had never been to such a place before. He found it very novel to see that the people eating here were all big and strong men, and there were also boys and children coming together. There was a lot of noise in the shed. He also noticed that Cao Xiangnan was standing there talking to a person who seemed to be in charge.

Cao Xiangnan gave a "guess" expression on his face and sat down.

Not long after, the charcoal stove was set up, and the waiter brought the boiling hot soup neatly and put it on the table. The vegetarian dishes ordered were also placed on small plates. As soon as the pot was served, the aroma wafted out. Cao Xiangnan naturally served the young master Shen and served him a bowl of soup, saying, "Come, try a sip. There are a lot of seasonings in this soup, which is very nourishing."

"..." Shen Zhengyang looked at Cao Xiangnan suspiciously, smelled that the taste was not bad, picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup, slurped it, and drank it. The taste was sweet and there was no taste of mutton. He said sincerely, "It tastes good."

"Yeah, I didn't lie to you." The person who was talking hadn't tasted it himself. Cao Xiangnan took the soup and took a sip. He thought the soup was well cooked.

The two of them had a mutton hot pot, and their stomachs were full. By the way, they also discussed tomorrow's affairs. After supper, the Shen family's carriage came to take Shen Zhengyang back, while Cao Xiangnan stayed here.

"Is this your shop?" Shen Zhengyang asked Cao Xiangnan when he got on the carriage.

"No, I just took a small share. Didn't I say I'm a cook?" Cao Xiangnan blinked and sent him to the carriage.

Cao Xiangnan planned to come to Nanyang this time, and the next time he came would have to wait until the beginning of next spring, so he had to arrange things here as soon as possible and he hurried home. When he got home this time, Wanfeng's baby was about to be born, and he would not have time to go out by then. When it snowed in winter, it would not be convenient to travel far.

So he never stopped running around after arriving in Nanyang. Fortunately, Manager Zhou was a reliable person and he didn't need to worry too much about this. Manager Zhou could handle all the things he was told to do.

The next morning, he made an appointment with Shen Zhengyang to go and see the things the craftsmen had made.

Seeing that the drawings he had drawn were made into finished products, he felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart. Needless to say, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of this era was excellent. Most of these things were made of wood. After seeing a few samples, Cao Xiangnan was very satisfied and praised them sincerely, "Well, very good."

"Needless to say, the things made by the masters under this young master are naturally the best." It was as if he was being praised, and Young Master Shen was particularly happy.

"Yes, the best." Cao Xiangnan responded.

There really were masters who made several new gadgets, and the responsible managers recorded them one by one. After everyone evaluated and assigned levels, they would receive corresponding bonuses. When they get paid next month, they can get an extra 1 or 2 silver coins. Although the money is not much, it has greatly promoted everyone's enthusiasm. You know, the higher the level of evaluation, the richer the bonus.

After listening to this, Cao Xiangnan felt that this was just right. This was exactly his original purpose, but it was not enough now and could not meet his requirements. Now is just the beginning, and I think it will get better and better in the future.

The store is located on the main street, and there are many people walking on the street. The shop has been decorated, and a lot of thought has gone into it. The interior is decorated in an exquisite and unique way, and is designed to please boys and children.

Even in this world, Cao Xiangnan believed that the money of brothers and children was the easiest to make.

The store will be officially open in two days.

The matters of opening will be arranged by the manager under Shen Zhengyang, and they just need to show up.

"Okay, I will come on time the day after tomorrow morning." They came here to take a look, and discussed the matters of opening with Shen Zhengyang and Manager Qu. Cao Xiangnan also put forward his ideas and opinions, which were affirmed by the two.

Cao Xiangnan brought a lot of clothes this time. A batch was put here by Manager Jiang to sell, and he planned to put the rest in the new store to be opened in two days. He was afraid that there would not be enough clothes to sell by then.

This time he brought a batch of down jackets, but the quantity was not large. Compared to cotton-padded clothes, these clothes are made of better materials, thinner and warmer. Shopkeeper Jiang couldn't let go of them as soon as he touched them, and wanted to buy all of them.

"Hehe, that won't work. I'll keep some to sell in the new store." Cao Xiangnan didn't want to give them, but he didn't have that much now. The raw materials this year were particularly limited. He said that he would increase the quantity next year and give more to Shopkeeper Jiang.

"Okay, okay, you have to keep your word. I'm waiting for your clothes." Now that the two of them are familiar with each other, they don't talk to each other in a gentlemanly way like they did at the beginning. Shopkeeper Jiang is no longer polite to this boy.

He heard that Shopkeeper Fang got a lot of good things, but compared to what he got here, he finally got some good things, but there are so few. Shopkeeper Jiang is starting to have a headache now. What if he doesn't sell enough? How will he explain to the ladies in the noble houses?

"We're just starting this year, so let's make a good start. If you don't get what you want this year, you can reserve it for next year. Whoever gets it first will get it. You can send the order to Shopkeeper Fang, and he will arrange for someone to send it to me." Cao Xiangnan found that he was becoming more and more like a profiteer. He hasn't even started this year's business, but he's already planning for next year.

But is this plan still feasible?

"Well... this is also a good idea." Shopkeeper Jiang's eyes lit up, so that if he didn't buy it, he wouldn't feel dissatisfied. "But we have to make it clear first, that is, the reservation, one family can't exceed ten pieces, ten pieces at most. If you order too many, you won't be able to take them out by then, but it's not a joke." Cao Xiangnan had to remind him.

"That's right, too. Fortunately, you reminded me." Shopkeeper Jiang nodded, thinking it made sense.

Shopkeeper Jiang had agreed to arrange two embroidered women to go to Fenshui, and Cao Xiangnan came to ask for them now. It happened that Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei were about to go home, and he didn't forget that their husbands and children were at home, and it would not be good for him to keep them out for too long.

After discussing with the shopkeeper Jiang, Cao Xiangnan informed Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei that they were going to go home, and took the two grandmas to the clothing workshop. He had already explained the matter to Li Mei before coming.

The two grandmas went there to give some instructions, and they also had to return to Nanyang before winter.

The next day, a boat passed by Fenshui, and Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei took the two grandmas on the boat and went back to Fenshui.
