Chapter 315 The Season of Maturity



In June, the bright sun in the sky tanned the whole field of fruits on the mountain. The sour fruits at the foot of the mountain were ripe. Probably no one could have imagined that these sour fruits that were rotten on the branches and no one wanted could be brewed into delicious wine.

Whole fields of sour fruits were picked and transported away, and after a series of processes, they were brewed into delicious wine.

After this busy period of time, all the grapes in that field were picked, and the most basic process was completed. The wine that was brewed was put into small jars for secondary fermentation before it could be brewed into real dry wine.

Cao Xiangnan picked up the wine spoon and scooped out a little wine. He took a sip and was quite satisfied with the taste. He handed the wine spoon to Cao Gang, motioning him to taste it as well, and said, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Last year, he made a small profit from wine. This year, with Fang Ziye here, it will not be a small profit. Cao Xiangnan has absolute confidence in Fang Ziye. Moreover, this year, in addition to him brewing wine, the winery in Nanyang is also brewing wine. By then, the amount will definitely be more than last year. When

he sees these wines now, it's like seeing shining gold. These will be silver in the future.

When the wine production is high, Cao Xiangnan will not worry that no one will want it. He just has no other choice. Manager Fang has plenty of ways to sell all the wine. With all the Yipinzhai under Fang Ziye, the amount is not a small number.

"Let it sit for a while." Cao Gang took a small sip, put it down, and nodded.

"Well, yes, it needs to be left for a while, and the taste will be better." Cao Xiangnan nodded. The wine just brewed is still light, and the wine needs to be left for a while. The more it is brewed, the more mellow it will be, and the taste will naturally be better.

After checking the wine, several people left the cellar.

"...Then let's decide it this way first. I'll go discuss it with Master Feng later." On the way out, Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang discussed the wine business. A winery was built in Nanyang, and he planned to build one here on the Fenshui River.

Small family workshops can never keep up with large workshops, so it's better to expand production. Even if the wine is not shipped to Nanyang, the ships coming and going at the Fenshui wharf can produce a lot of goods, which is enough.

Cao Xiangnan had this idea in his mind a long time ago, but when there were no manpower and material resources, many things had to be done step by step and slowly, and there was no rush.

"Okay." Cao Gang had no objection to Cao Xiangnan's decision.

Gan Weiqi, who was following beside him, no longer had any surprise on his face. When he came, all the things about Cao Xiangnan had just started. Now he saw Cao Xiangnan walking towards him step by step. Of course, he also participated in it.

When Gan Weilin heard that he was going to build a winery, he licked his tongue and winked at his brother. Wouldn't he have wine to drink?

"..." Gan Weiqi.

The children in the family have all gone to the academy. Sun Bailian now comes to Wanfeng to help him take care of the children when she has nothing to do during the day. She says she comes to help, but in fact she just sits there and eats all the time without stopping.

This careless brother didn't even know that he was pregnant. He only found out not long ago that he was pregnant. The child is already more than two months old. Sun Bailian usually runs around all day, but now she is under house arrest by her husband and cannot go anywhere.

The sun is very bright this season. The two children at home are small, and Xiaobao'er has not been in good health. Qi Wanfeng did not dare to take the two children everywhere, so they stayed at home. It was just right for Sun Bailian to come here.

"Wanfeng, I'm going out for a while. You and the children stay at home. It's sunny outside. Don't go out." When Cao Xiangnan and his friends went in, they saw two adults and children sitting in the hall chatting. He walked over, put his hand on Wanfeng's shoulder, and said to him.

There were quite a few snacks on the table. Sun Bailian was sitting there eating happily. When she saw her husband come in, she grinned. Cao Gang also walked towards the person who was smiling at him. This man smiled for the first time.

There was tenderness in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Gan Weiqi, who came in behind, had a blank expression on his face. Gan Weilin grabbed Xiao Lele, who was eating snacks with two paws, and asked Xiao Lele with his mouth open for food. Xiao Lele stuffed his mouth full. Xiao Lele's

mouth was stuffed with food. Xiao Lele's mouth was full of food. Xiao Lele drooled after eating the food. Xiao Lele didn't know whether to eat or spit it out. He looked very miserable.

"..." Gan Weiqi.

I really don't know what to say.

Cao Ruile, whose prank was successful, had an innocent smile on his fat face. If you didn't ask me for it, I would give it to you generously!

Little Cao Ruile is now in the period of teething. He is not a jerk, but likes to hold the biscuits and chew them until his mouth is full of them.

"Puchi-yi" Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing when he saw what his kid did, and said to Gan Weiqi, "Hurry up and spit out the food in your mouth, Lele, you kid." After handing the little treasure in his hand to his husband, he reached out to take his fat boy back, took the small towel and wiped the child's mouth and face clean.

Little Cao Ruile was restored to a clean little bun, grinning, and even the gums were visible.

Gan Weiqi spit out the food in his mouth and looked at the kid who teased him with suspicion. He really didn't want to believe that he was teased by a kid who was more than half a year old.

"Okay, got it. If you want to go, go ahead. I'll stay at home." Qi Wanfeng usually takes the children out in the morning and evening. Knowing that her husband is very busy, she doesn't let him worry too much about the family affairs. She tries her best to take care of the family affairs and take good care of the children.

After saying goodbye to the family, the carriage left.

Since the beginning of spring this year, Cao Xiangnan felt that he had never stopped. He was always busy with this and that. He calculated in his mind that he would be busy at least until the end of the year, when the next winter came.

But now it is worth it no matter how busy it is. Life at home is good, and his wife and children can live a good life. This is his biggest wish.

"Master Feng, the boss is looking for you." When the man outside heard that the boss said he was looking for Master Feng, he shouted inside.

Cao Xiangnan came to the academy to find Feng Guang. The house and yard of the academy were still under construction. The land was so large that he had bought all the wasteland. Anyway, he had bought the land and would not run away if he did not use it.

Feng Guang inside heard the voice and stuck his head out. Seeing that it was the young master who came to see him, he told the others to take over the work in his hands and went out.

"Why are you so free today?" Feng Guang asked when he came out and saw him.

Cao Xiangnan made a gesture, and the two of them found a cool place under the tree and sat down. There were two large bowls of cold tea on the table. He told Feng Guang about the workshop he was going to build. Feng Guang got a headache when he heard Cao Xiangnan say where to build. "Where can I find people to build it for you?"

Not to mention manpower, he has to take care of so many places by himself now, and he doesn't even have a chance to sit down on a stool all day long. This kid is okay, several places are not built yet, and he comes to him to ask him to spare manpower to build a workshop for him!

"Hehe..." Cao Xiangnan smiled cunningly and said to Feng Guang, "If there is no one, just find someone, right? With your ability as Master Feng, you are not afraid of not being able to find people."

"Where can I find them!" Feng Guang spat out a mouthful of blood. Now he is just short of buying people from vendors, just to build a house for this brat Cao Xiangnan!

Now Cao Xiangnan paid Feng Guang not monthly, but annually. When Feng Guang came back at the beginning of the year, he negotiated with him about the salary of Feng Guang as the chief foreman, and paid him half a year's salary directly.

After working for half a year, Feng Guang, who felt lucky to receive such a high salary, saw the boy smiling at him, gritted his teeth, and felt that his salary was too low, and it was necessary to raise the price next year. Regardless of whether Master Feng had the manpower or not, Cao Xiangnan had already taken care of the winery. He gave Feng Guang the time to build it before winter at the latest. As for how to build it and how to arrange the manpower, it was not his business.

This was not the first time the two had worked together. Cao Xiangnan did not even need to draw the workshop for Feng Guang. He just briefly mentioned the structure to Feng Guang, and Feng Guang understood what he meant.

"Master Feng, I am sorry to bother you." When Cao Xiangnan left, he was all smiles. After all, his goal had been achieved. As long as he paid, he would have a winery.

In the past, he had to contact the materials for building the house himself, but now a specialist is in charge of this part. When the time comes, he only needs to check the accounts and make sure there are no problems with the accounts. So even if these houses are being built, it will not affect his running around at all.

So it is easy to get things done with money, but it is difficult to get anywhere without money.

Just in time for the fruit to ripen, the front part of the processing workshop was built and put into use. The ripe fruits on the mountain are transported to the processing workshop, and the processed fruits will be made into preserved fruits.

There are not enough workers in the village, so a group of people are recruited from neighboring villages to work.

Every day, the guys who go to the workshop to work have to change into clean clothes and put on hats before entering the workshop to work. Everyone talks and laughs in the workshop, and the work in hand does not stop. At

first, everyone was still a little uncomfortable with working in this way, but even if they are not used to it, everyone must follow the requirements of the workshop and strictly implement this rule. Otherwise, if you are caught once, it will be recorded by the manager of the workshop and the wages will be deducted. If you are caught multiple times, you will be fired by the workshop, but no one has been fired by the workshop yet.

After the baskets of fruits are cleaned and processed, the next step is to make them into preserved fruits. People in each workshop are responsible for a process, and they do not overlap. Cao Xiangnan strictly controls the last process in his own hands to prevent it from being stolen.

The fruits are ripe at this time, and after this season, we have to

wait until next year. When the fruits all over the mountains and fields are ripe, these wild fruits are the least valuable and no one wants them. When there are no fresh fruits to eat in winter, these preserved fruits can be sold at a good price.

After leaving Feng Guang, Cao Xiangnan came to the processing workshop and checked the situation here.
