After returning from the town, Cao Xiangnan came to the garment workshop. He was busy as soon as he got back. He still wanted to come here to take a look. The two masters arranged by Manager Jiang were both very strict. After the guidance of the two masters, the work done by the brothers in the workshop was much more meticulous than before.

"It's a long way from Nanyang. The two masters are willing to make such a trip. Xiangnan is very grateful to you." When he saw the two masters, Cao Xiangnan also appropriately expressed his gratitude to the two masters for being willing to come. Although he knew that the two masters came here on orders, it was still troublesome for them to run so far.

"Boss Cao, you're welcome." One of the people who came was Qian A-ma, who had taken care of Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei in Nanyang. This time, he was arranged by the shopkeeper Jiang to come to Fenshui.

Originally, they had a little contempt for such a small place, but when they came to the clothing workshop, they saw so many people gathered here to make clothes together. Everything here was carried out in an orderly manner, which gave them a new understanding.

When they were in Nanyang, they saw the winter clothes that Boss Cao sent to the store. They were also curious about how such light and warm winter clothes could be made, but after coming here, there was a part that they could not see. Although they were a little unhappy, they also understood that those were things that the other party did not show, and they had a different view of this small clothing shop. This trip was not without gain.

Cao Xiangnan said a few polite words to the two masters and invited them to have dinner with him tonight. "I just rushed back yesterday and was not able to entertain the two masters properly. I hope the two masters will not blame Xiangnan."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the other boss was not arrogant at all and was kind and polite to them, Aunt Qian and Aunt Zhang were also a little flattered and agreed immediately.

Although this place is small, they have not been treated badly in terms of food and accommodation since they came here. The people in charge here all respect them and treat them as masters.

"Then I will send a carriage to pick you up later." Cao Xiangnan said.

Aunt Qian and Aunt Zhang also agreed.

They went to the warehouse to check the clothes they made. The remaining batch of cotton clothes can now be sold. After discussion, they decided to rush to the town to sell them on the market day, and then arrange two people to go there together.

As for the goods in Nanyang, when the clothing workshop produces more, they will arrange to go there together. By then, the two masters will also go back to Nanyang.

After arranging the matters of the garment workshop, Cao Xiangnan finally went to Master Feng to see the progress of the construction of the academy. When he was not here, Cao Gang would also take care of it. After all, the title of village chief was quite useful.

He also heard that the former village chief had been released and the elders in the village could no longer jump around. Caojia Village is much better now than before.

I didn't come back until it was dark last night. I was running on the road today and saw that the road was almost built to the town. I think it can be repaired by the end of this month. Then I can arrange more people from the village to come here to work.

"It should be done by the end of next month." Master Feng said.

After September, it will snow anytime starting from October. Then the house cannot be built and the construction will have to be stopped. They had better finish the work by the end of September. The weather is getting colder and colder. It is harder to work in the cold weather than in the hot weather. When you work in the cold weather, you sweat and feel cold when the wind blows. If you are not careful, you will fall ill easily.

"Yes." Cao Xiangnan nodded and said, "The road in the village is about to be repaired. I will go back and ask to arrange more people to come here to help. Hurry up and finish this first." As for the rest, we will wait until next year to start the work.

"Okay, okay." Master Feng was also very happy to hear that more people would be arranged.

This job is not so easy to do. You earn a few hard-earned dollars. In the summer, you are exposed to the sun and in the winter, you are exposed to the cold wind. You do physical work every day and the wages are not too much. If you meet a stingy boss, you will only be given one meal a day with little oil and water, which is not enough to fill your stomach. Many people can't bear this hardship and leave after a few days.

Fortunately, the boss nowadays is a good one. The wages are not too much or too little. The old men who work now get five big dollars a day. Those who do a good job also get rewards every month. They are also given several days off to go home. They can still get paid even if they don't work. This is a good thing that has never happened before. They can eat three meals a day, and there is meat for lunch and dinner. Even when they go home on holidays, they are given some good things to take back. You can't find such a boss even with a lantern.

Everyone has worked here for such a long time, and no one has ever said a bad word about the boss. In the past, everyone worked so hard that they were hungry and skinny, and many people fell down. Now everyone just works, and they have gained a lot of weight. From the summer to now autumn, few people have been sick. Even he, the master, has learned a lot of new things from the boss.

This year's work is done in a hurry, and next year's work is waiting for them. The subordinates are very happy when they know about it, as if they can't wait to follow this little boss for the rest of their lives. Feng Guang heard some news from this young boss. If the young boss's business is good, they will work for him in the next three to five years.

"Come to my house tonight for a drink. There are two masters invited from Nanyang. I will send a carriage to pick you up." Cao Xiangnan was an old acquaintance of Feng Guang, so he didn't bother to be polite with him. After checking the progress, he called him to have dinner.

"Come, come, come, come, you have good wine and food. I won't go if you call me." Master Feng also likes to drink a few glasses of good wine. He is now thinking about the good wine and food at Cao's place. "

Hahaha..." Cao Xiangnan laughed and drove away in the carriage.

He drove the carriage through the village and went to Cao Ada to talk to him about pork. Now he could prepare to make bacon and smoked meat. Not only would he eat it at home, but he would also send it to Yipinzhai. He could also sell it in town and make a small profit before the New Year. The

fat and strong pigs in the pigpen were pleasing to the eye. Cao Xiangnan followed Cao Ada to look at the pigs, and his brother also came with him.

"I'll have to trouble you to help me kill the pigs when the time comes." Cao Xiangnan had already ordered pigs from Cao Ada. Killing pigs was a job that should be done by professionals. He certainly couldn't do it himself. It happened that his family's old yard had not been demolished, so it came in handy. It was just right to kill pigs there and make bacon.

"Okay, no problem." Cao Ada agreed generously.

"Zhilan, if you have time, how about coming to work for me? I'll pay you." After buying so many pigs, Cao Ada would naturally ask him what he wanted to do with so many pigs. Cao Xiangnan only mentioned that he could make fresh food, so he wanted to invite Cao Zhilan to work there, and then he would have to invite a few new people to work.

"It's just some work, just call me, why bother asking for wages? When you make something delicious, don't miss me." Cao Zhilan knew that Cao Silang had a lot of delicious food, and there was fresh food here, so it was not bad for him to work in exchange for food.

"Haha, that won't do. You have to be paid. I'll give you thirty bucks a day. Of course you'll have to have a share of the delicious food. Do you have any good friends who are willing to play and work hard? You can invite them over."

"Thirty big bucks? Really?" That's a lot of money, Cao Zhilan counted on her fingers.

"Really." Cao Xiangnan looked at her, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go and call for you." Cao Zhilan grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth. This guy doesn't know how to be subtle at all.

After the three of them looked at the pig, they walked back to Cao Ada's yard. Cao Xiangnan remembered that Cao Zhilan hadn't been engaged yet. Here, if a guy is still unengaged after the age of sixteen, he is considered an old maid. This Cao Zhilan seems to be eighteen or twenty years old, right?

He heard that the people in the village disliked Cao Zhilan because she followed his father to kill pigs. She looked more sturdy than a man, so no one dared to propose marriage to her. In his opinion, getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen is too early, and eighteen or twenty is barely acceptable.

Cao Zhilan looks like his father Cao Ada, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, three-dimensional features, and he is not ugly. He is big, carefree, and not shy. He can kill pigs, so other jobs are not a problem. He thinks Cao Zhilan is much better than those shy guys.

Cao Xiangnan said half-jokingly, "It happens that there are many single men where I live. You can go and take a look when the time comes. If you see anyone you like, go and chase him. If not, I will ask my brothers if they have any good brothers and find them for you to see in Caojia Village."

"..." Cao Zhilan, the fake man, turned into a man in an instant, his face flushed, and he twisted his hands.

How embarrassing it is, should he still go?

"Oh, where is he from? Is he from our Caojia Village? If it's too far, I won't let my brother marry there." Cao Ada became interested when he heard it, but then he thought, what if he marries too far away! That won't do.

The old nanny sitting at the door jumped over, as fast as a mouse, and pushed the tall Cao Ada away, grabbed his hand, and asked him flatteringly, "Whose kid is he? How old is he this year? Is he a good person? It doesn't matter where he is from, as long as he treats my Zhilan well."

"He's not from Caojia Village, where he is from... I don't know. I'll ask for you later." Cao Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted and said.

"Okay, okay." The old nanny replied.

"I told you, this is too far." Cao Xiangnan didn't want her brother to get married. It would be best if he stayed with her to kill pigs for the rest of his life.

"Go away! You have nothing to do here." The old grandmother waved her hand. Her grandson couldn't get married because of such a father! The old grandmother held Cao Jia Silang's hand and asked him kindly about his appearance, how many people were in his family, and whether he was filial. "Okay, okay, I'll ask for you."

Cao Xiangnan finally fled. It was terrible.

The car drove away, and he seemed to hear the mother and son behind him talking about Cao Zhilan's marriage. They wanted to pull him back to be the referee!

The eight characters haven't even started yet! They are already talking about extravagance. Isn't it going too far?

It was not easy to matchmake, especially when he met Cao Ada's family.

He cooked dinner, and the carriage went to pick up the two masters, Li Mei, Wu Yue, and Master Feng. A large table of people sat down and everyone enjoyed the meal. After dinner, he asked someone to drive the carriage to send the masters back.
