After the Peach Blossom Festival, Yipinzhai's business came back, even better than before. The hall was packed with people. The Journey to the West attracted countless people, young and old, and young men also liked to sit in this building and listen to it once. Once they heard it, they couldn't stop. People came every day.

The new dishes introduced in the building also caught the appetite of customers. When the early spring dishes were not served yet, Yipinzhai had already appeared in various fresh and tender dishes. People came to Yipinzhai, drank a pot of good wine, ordered a few good dishes, and listened to the storyteller telling a Journey to the West. It was a great enjoyment.

"Mr. Liu, please tell us one more time today."

"Yes, yes, we haven't heard enough. How can you only tell us once a day?"

The others followed suit, asking Mr. Liu to tell us one more time.

Mr. Liu, the storyteller in the upper floor, had finished telling his story once, but the audience didn't want him to leave. Mr. Liu shook his hands repeatedly and said, "This is the end of the story today. If you want to know what happens next,

please wait for the next time." This meant that if you want to hear the next story, please come back tomorrow.

This story was good, but it was a pity that it was only told once a day. It always stopped at the exciting part, which kept everyone's appetite hanging. The audience wanted to hold Mr. Liu and let him finish telling them the whole story of Journey to the West in one breath.

This good thing should be eaten slowly, bite by bite, so that it will be remembered in people's hearts.

Outsiders only think that Journey to the West is written by Mr. Liu, which is also Cao Xiangnan's own idea. As for the misunderstanding that Journey to the West is written by Mr. Liu, he simply makes the best of it. He just wants to do his own thing in a low-key manner.

Cao Xiangnan never thought that Journey to the West would be so popular and loved by everyone. At the beginning, Journey to the West was just a fun story for the customers who came to the building to eat. Unexpectedly, Journey to the West became a hit as soon as it was published, and even Mr. Liu became a popular storyteller in the building.

Taking out a little time every day to write the latest chapter, Cao Xiangnan handed the manuscript to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu took the manuscript with both hands reverently, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "Mr. Cao, this Journey to the West was originally written by you, but now everyone mistakenly thinks it was written by Liu. This..."

"Sir, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, who told the story so vividly and so wonderfully, I'm afraid so many people wouldn't like it." Cao Xiangnan quickly supported Mr. Liu. He himself also borrowed the light of the ancients. He had to thank the fact that he had reviewed Journey to the West every winter and summer vacation in the past. This time, he had read it for more than ten years, and it was difficult to forget it, so he was able to write this Journey to the West.

After talking to Mr. Liu for a few words, he persuaded Mr. Liu and went back with the manuscript.

Seeing Mr. Liu leave, Cao Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Liu was also one of the few people who knew that Journey to the West was written by him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu won't have any problems." Shopkeeper Fang understood people's hearts better than anyone else. This scholar is not without selfishness. As for what Mr. Liu really thinks, it's up to Mr. Liu himself.

Since Mr. Liu agreed to the book at the beginning, there won't be any problems later. Even if there are any problems, he won't allow it.

"Nan boy, you only write once a day, can't you write more?" Shopkeeper Fang has also become a loyal listener of Journey to the West. More than once, he asked Cao Xiangnan to write more. Not only the customers in the building want to hear more, but he, the shopkeeper, also wants to hear more. "No way

." Cao Xiangnan spread his hands, indicating that there was no way, it was good enough to write once a day.

Being able to write once a day is already the limit, he can't write more, and Fang, the shopkeeper, was so angry that he just glared. But Fang, the shopkeeper, was glaring, but he was not really angry. On the contrary, when Cao Xiangnan needed his help, he was not stingy at all, and he would help wherever he was needed.

Cao Xiangnan came to Nanyang this time to take care of Yipinzhai and Shen Zhengyang's shop. He also planned to open the first Caoji in Nanyang in the spring. This was also the purpose of sending Sun Ji to Nanyang to study, and to expand the territory in the future.

The shop in Nanyang has been decided. It was only with the help of Fang, the shopkeeper, that he was able to find a good shop in Nanyang. The shop is close to the pier, and the location is good. If it weren't for Fang, the shopkeeper, he would not have been able to get a shop here.

No matter how good the small place of Fenshui Town is, the space is limited. If he wants to expand his business, he must develop in Nanyang.

Now the time is ripe, the opportunity has come, and he must seize it.

Now it is also with the help of Fang, the shopkeeper, that it is going so smoothly, but it is also mutually beneficial. Cao Ji was his first store, which he opened from scratch. It has been doing well since then. Cao Ji is not as good as Yipin Zhai, but it is certain that this store will make some money if nothing unexpected happens.

After the store was acquired, the storefront was being renovated, and the small yard at the back also needed to be renovated. After it was confirmed, Cao Xiangnan handed the rest of the work to Sun Ji.

Last year, Cao Xiangnan mentioned to Fang Zhanggui that he intended to open a wine shop in Nanyang, and Fang Zhanggui also had this idea. Most of the wine in Yipin Zhai is now supplied by him. It is transported from Caojia Village to Fenshui Town, and then to Nanyang. Needless to say, the manpower and material resources spent on the journey.

Nanyang is a central place with many connections. It would be great if we could build a winery in Nanyang. It would also save a lot of manpower and material resources for transportation. It would also be much more convenient to transport goods from Nanyang to other places.

"It would be great if we could build a winery in Nanyang, Nan boy, I naturally agree with your idea." Manager Fang agreed with Cao Xiangnan's decision to build a winery in Nanyang. It would be much more convenient for him to get wine in his building in the future, and he would not have to wait for it to be transported from Fenshui Town.

If the weather is bad, it would be inconvenient to go by water, and it would be even more labor-intensive to go by land. If we could open a winery in Nanyang, we could earn more by eliminating the transportation costs.

But building a winery in Nanyang is not something that can be done easily. There are still many things to do, and it is not a simple matter.

After the two discussed, they both confirmed this idea.

Although he knew that his master would definitely agree to this, Manager Fang still had to write a letter and have someone send it to Fengdu to ask his master's opinion. He has been the chief steward of Nanyang for so many years, but in matters of all sizes, unless there are special circumstances, Manager Fang has never exceeded his authority and done anything without the consent of his master. He is clearly aware of his identity.

He can't swallow a big pie by himself, so he has to share some with others, so that everyone can make a profit. Cao Xiangnan understood his own abilities. It would be no problem for him to open a Cao's restaurant in Nanyang, but it was probably impossible for him to open a winery in Nanyang on his own. However, with the help of Fang Ziye, it would be completely different.

Anyway, he has never suffered any loss since cooperating with Fang Ziye, not to mention that Xiaobaoer is still in his hands, and Fang Ziye would not dare to treat him badly. But thinking about it this way, it is also a joke. The cooperation between him and Fang Ziye is also mutually beneficial, and it is clear.

Business is business, and friends are friends, and there is naturally a connection between the two.

The cooperation between the two has been very pleasant so far, and he does not mind continuing to cooperate with Fang Ziye. Cao Xiangnan also believes that Fang Ziye is willing to cooperate with him, and no businessman will give up the immediate benefits.

I have been in Nanyang for some time, and the store is being renovated. It will not be completed so quickly in a short time, and I am afraid that I will have to wait for some time. Yipinzhai is also doing very good business at the moment. With Fang the shopkeeper here, there is nothing to worry about with or without him.

Having been away from home for so long, and not knowing how everything was going at home, Cao Xiangnan wanted to go back to Fenshui. "Aji, I'll leave the shop to you first. I'll go back to Fenshui. If there's nothing going on there, I'll come back in a few days." Going back to Fenshui from Nanyang by boat is also a trip by water, so Cao Xiangnan wanted to go home and see how things were going at home. It has to be

said that since leaving home, he would miss his family every night, wondering how he and his children were doing at home. Instead of missing them, it's better to go back. The journey is not far, nor is it close, it's just a round trip.

The shop was handed over to Sun Ji to take care of, and Sun Ji was accompanied by a few boys from Sun's family who worked under him, so Sun Ji didn't have to worry about lack of manpower.

"Okay, please say hello to my father, and my grandfather and grandmother at home." Sun Ji understood that Xiangnan was thinking about his wife and children at home. His family also wanted to find a wife for him, and the house was being built, so it was not too late for the marriage.

People younger than him in the family were already fathers, and he was still unmarried at this age, which was very embarrassing.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan replied.

When they went back, Shen Zhengyang, a kid, brought a few guards and servants to follow him back to Fenshui Town. Cao Xiangnan was very troubled, but he couldn't refuse Young Master Shen.

He was just afraid that he would bump into Young Master Shen and he wouldn't be able to explain to Old Lady Shen.

Last year, Old Lady Shen agreed to Sun'er and let him go to Fenshui Town with Cao Xiangnan after next spring. In the spring of this year, even Old Lady Shen could no longer stop her grandson from going, so she had to send a few more guards to go with him.

When they got on the big boat and followed Cao Xiangnan to Fenshui, Young Master Shen was smiling like a fool.

Cao Xiangnan kept shaking his head, but he couldn't help but laugh too.
