At first, considering that no one had ever made bacon before and there were not many people who could do the work, Cao Xiangnan only asked Cao Ada to kill a pig. After two days, everyone became proficient at the job and no longer had to ask him about everything. He only had to take charge of the most important step of adding ingredients and marinating.

Later, a few more people were invited to come over, and one more pig was killed every day. Cao Xiangnan wanted to increase the amount of bacon and make it as soon as possible.

The people who had learned in the front would lead the new people in the back to do it. These jobs were not difficult to do, but there were a few more processes.

Then he arranged for people to move the chopped meat to his kitchen, where he would add seasonings and stuff the meat for sausage. He only let the most trusted people do the rest. So the people who stayed in the old yard were only responsible for killing and cooking the meat, and processing it. He was responsible for the rest.

Cao Xiangnan strictly required every step to be done to the best of his ability.

"Everyone, tie your hair up with a cloth towel. Every time you touch the meat, you must wash your hands. If I find it once, I will deduct a copper plate." Cao Xiangnan attaches great importance to this hygiene issue. Everyone has a headscarf mask made in the garment workshop. He requires everyone to tie up their hair with a cloth towel and cover their face with a mask. Who dares to eat something made by not washing hands after going to the toilet? Everyone

follows his requirements. The big masks made in the garment workshop are also made, and everyone has a strange mask tied on their body.

"This weird thing is really uncomfortable to wear."

"You have to wear it even if it's uncomfortable, otherwise you'll be fined."

At first, everyone was not used to it. It was awkward to wear it and do work, but it was also difficult to take it off. If you were caught, you'd be fined. After wearing it for two days, everyone got used to it.

If people were seen outside, a whole yard of people wearing these weird clothes cutting meat inside would probably scare passers-by. Cao Xiangnan thought that this year everyone would make the bacon here first, and when the food processing workshop was built next year, all food processing would be done in the workshop. By then, it would be more unified and better than now.

The food that goes into the stomach cannot be sloppy at all. If something goes wrong, he will go to jail.

Now that there is nothing to do in the village, Chen Hong can come to his place every day, so Cao Xiangnan handed over the supervision to Chen Hong and told him everything that needs to be paid attention to. Now Chen Hong can also speak in front of everyone, and it is best for him to manage it.

"Well, okay, Silang, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this for you." After listening to it, Chen Hong also understood the reason. The other party handed such an important matter to him, and he promised to do it well.

In this way, Cao Xiangnan was also relieved. Now there are so many more people, who knows who is who? You must be on guard against others, but you must not have the intention to harm others. He does not harm others, but he still has to be on guard against others.

As the weather gradually gets colder, there are fewer and fewer vegetables in the fields, and later on, nothing can be grown. This season, everyone planted a lot of radishes and eggs in their fields. This year, everyone planted more land, so they kept some for the winter and sold some of it.

By the end of August, the road from Caojia Village to the town was completed. A wide road led directly to Caojia Village. In the future, it would be much more convenient for the town's vehicles to enter Caojia Village and for Caojia Village's people to go to the town.

On this day, the village chief Cao Gang, Li Zheng, two deputy village chiefs, and ten representatives of the village came out and took the villagers to walk along the road. The old and young followed behind and personally felt the newly built road.

So much money had been spent on hiring someone to build the road, so Cao Xiangnan couldn't be stingy. Things should be done from beginning to end.

After discussing with the village chief Li Zheng, Cao Xiangnan paid for a pig and asked Cao Ada to kill the pig. Then he set up a big pot at the door of the ancestral hall to cook it. Every household in the village could get a bowl of meat. Almost every household in the village sent people to work. After working so hard for so long, everyone was happy to eat a bite of meat.

When everyone came back from the newly built road, the meat in the ancestral hall was cooked. Someone there knocked on the gong and shouted, "Get the meat, get the meat, one household gets one portion, let the people at home bring a bowl to get the meat..."

After walking for so long, everyone didn't feel tired, and they all ran home to get bowls to get the meat. A long line quickly formed behind them, for fear that they would be late and the meat would be gone. When Li Zheng came back, he didn't even have time to sit down. He just stood there and was responsible for distributing meat to the villagers.

Everyone was from the village, and no one dared to take the bowl to receive it again after receiving it once. If they were recognized, they would be drowned by the spit of the villagers.

"Well, this Cao Jia Si Lang is a good man."

"He is a good man."

"Of course he is. He gave money to build the road and gave a bowl of meat to every household in the village. When has there ever been such a good man in the village? Cao Si Lang is a great philanthropist in our Caojia Village."

Now when the villagers mentioned Cao Jia Si Lang, they all praised him. He gave money to build the road, and after it was built, he gave everyone meat. Everyone who took the meat home was very happy.

People in the Cao family compound also went to claim the meat. When Chen Li heard people mention his fourth uncle, he stood in the crowded area as if he was praised, and talked and laughed with everyone. After all, he is the eldest brother of Cao's fourth uncle, isn't he?

But ever since her husband went to the fourth uncle's house to steal things and was caught, he was sent to the government and sent to do hard labor. Because of this incident, he himself was also imprisoned in the ancestral hall, so Wang Yan rarely appeared in the village.

If it weren't for his father and mother asking him to claim the meat, he wouldn't even want to claim the meat.

It must be said that Wang Yan has changed a lot. He used to smile when he saw people and always liked to show off in front of others, but now he always has a gloomy face and doesn't say a word when he sees people in the village. Seeing Chen Li talking and laughing with everyone, he took the meat and went back home without looking back.

When he got home, his mother took the meat from him and stared at him, as if she was afraid that he would steal the meat and eat it halfway.

"Why don't you light a fire and cook? Are you still waiting for me to serve you?" Chen Zhu knew that his fourth son was becoming more and more capable, but he didn't even recognize him as his mother. In the past, he dared to go to his fourth son to make trouble, but after his head of the family sternly said that he would be sent back to Chen Village if he made trouble again, he didn't dare to make trouble again.

At his age, if he was sent back to Chen Village, not only would his father and mother not welcome him, but even his elder brother would not welcome him at all. He would not even have a place to stand if he went back. Here he still has a big brick and tile house to live in, food and clothing, and some money in his pocket. His eldest daughter-in-law has been separated from him, but his second daughter-in-law is still with him, and he can still use her. If he is sent back, he will have nothing. He is busy at home, and he runs that road several times a day. Doesn't he know how to repair the land? So he showed his face, and then Cao Xiangnan came back and stopped caring about the affairs of the village. He came back to take care of the affairs of the family.

The processed meat was brought back to the kitchen. Cao Xiangnan was responsible for adding the seasoning, and someone took over and stuffed the meat into the casings.

Everyone is familiar with it now, and the work will be done very quickly.

Rice wine was boiled in the kitchen every day. Cao Xiangnan would not let anyone from outside come in except his own people. The cooked meat was hung outside the eaves, and a rack was built outside to dry the meat.

Seeing that Cao Qingzhu was good at his job, he transferred Cao Qingzhu to the kitchen to be in charge of stuffing the seasoned meat into the sausage casings. He sat up very quickly.

Every day after work, Cao Qingzhu would rush home to cook. His mother at home had a cough again these days and lay in bed every day. He wanted to ask a doctor to come and see her, but his mother would not allow it, saying it was a waste of money.

All the money he brought back was taken away by his mother. His mother talked about building a new house and finding wives for his two younger brothers every day, so his mother was not feeling well recently.

"I asked you to ask about Cao Silang. Have you asked?" At dinner today, his mother asked him about this again.

Cao Qingzhu knew that the road in the village was repaired today. The last time Cao Silang went there, he did ask a few brothers and grandmothers to go in. At that time, his two younger brothers were still repairing the road in the village, so he didn't dare to ask.

"Yes, Qingzhu, have you asked? The roads in the village have been repaired. Why don't you help us ask Cao Silang if he needs people? Dabao and I will go there, and our family will make a lot of money every day." They can earn ten big bucks every day by repairing the road, and two people can earn twenty big bucks. Once the road is repaired, it means that they will not have even the twenty big bucks.

"When we have money, we can build the house quickly." His second brother said.

In this way, others will not despise their family for being poor and refuse to marry their son to their family. When the house is built, he can ask his mother to find someone to match him up with and bring him a wife.

"Big brother, you didn't ask, did you?" Her own child didn't know what he was doing. When Cao Qingzhu saw his big brother's expression, she knew that his big brother definitely didn't ask.

"No, no." When Cao Qingzhu saw that his mother was angry, he quickly shook his hands and said, "No, mother, it's true, Dabao and Erbao were repairing the road a few days ago, and Cao Silang needed people, but they couldn't go. I'll go and ask tomorrow if they still need people, and I'll tell you when I come back."

Only then was his mother satisfied.

Since he went to work for Cao Silang, the family had meat to eat every day. Sometimes he brought back cooked meat, and sometimes he brought back raw meat. He cooked it himself, and his mother and brother were very happy at home.

His mother gave him a few pieces of the meat in the bowl, and the rest went to the bowls of his two younger brothers. Cao Qingzhu ate his meal in silence, thinking that he had been full at Cao Silang's lunch these days, so it was okay to eat a little less at night.
