"It's time to eat, you two boys, come and eat quickly." Sun Bailian brought out a large plate of soup, and the smell made him eager to eat. Seeing his two boys still playing with rabbits, he shouted.

His two naughty boys ran over and just as they were about to clamor for food, their father glanced at them. They immediately became much more obedient, sitting in their seats properly, staring at the food on the table and almost drooling.

The bone stewed radish soup was simmered on low heat for almost two hours, and the essence of the bones was boiled out. The radishes were transparent and exuded a strong fragrance. A large pot of pork offal stewed with spices was even more fragrant, and there was also a large portion of rice noodles, which was their staple food tonight.

At dusk, the two families sat down around the small table.

"What is this?" Sun Bailian asked, looking at the food on the table and a large white long strip.

"This is called rice noodles, which is our staple food tonight. It is made by grinding rice and mung beans into powder, mixing it with water in a certain proportion to make a paste, and then steaming it in a pot." Cao Xiangnan explained, "We can put soup in it or mix it with sauce."

Qi Wanfeng had heard from her husband how to make it earlier. She used chopsticks to put rice noodles into each bowl, making a bowl of soup noodles and a bowl of mixed noodles, and scooped a small spoonful of pig offal on it, and placed it on the table, saying, "This bowl is for soup, and this bowl is for mixed noodles."

Sun Bailian looked over and immediately understood.

"Mom, I want to eat, I want to eat."

"Mom, I want that bowl."

The two boys asked for a bowl each. Qi Wanfeng moved the rice noodles to the two children of Sun Bailian's family, looked at Sun Bailian and asked, "Do you want to eat soup or mixed?"

"Whatever, it's all right." Sun Bailian glared at the two impolite boys in his family. He had swallowed his saliva several times. This smell was really too fragrant.

An An smelled the fragrance and grabbed his mother's hand. His little face was full of "An An wants to eat too". He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Qi Wanfeng made a bowl for his children, and finally for him and his husband.

The big pot of bone soup was gradually empty. There was nothing in the pig offal, only a little soup. Fortunately, Cao Xiangnan thought that people of this era would be hungry, so he made more. Fortunately, it was enough in the end. Everyone had a full stomach and sat there unwilling to move.

"Tell me, what do you want to say?" The full man's eyes looked at people less sharp than before. Cao Gang asked Cao Xiangnan and smiled, with confidence in his smile, and asked, "I wonder how you think this tastes?" "Delicious, very delicious." Sun Bailian answered first, it was really delicious, and he felt that this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.

Cao Gang nodded calmly, and there was no sign of the fierce look of eating hard just now. The two boys next to them were shouting that it was delicious, but unfortunately their stomachs were about to burst and they couldn't eat any more.

"I came to you today to discuss something with you. I plan to open a snack stand in Fenshui Town and sell what we just ate." Then Cao Xiangnan laid out the materials they needed, the cost price, and the profit they could make. The price of pig offal is much cheaper than pork. After all, it is also meat. The most important thing is that the taste he made is fragrant and delicious. Next time, I am willing to spend money to buy a portion.

Cao Xiangnan also told Sun Bailian and Cao Gang very clearly, "You know the situation in our family. Wanfeng and I can't do it now, so I want to find you to do it together. I can make all these things, and I will be responsible for teaching you how to make them. If we make money, we will split it 50-50. What do you think? Do you have fun working together?"

According to the current price of rice, one kilogram of rice can make about three kilograms of rice noodles, and 10% of it is soaked mung beans. Mung beans are so cheap here that no one wants them. Don't look at the quantity at this level. If the quantity is large, the cost will be much lower, and the profit can be increased by 10%. Then there are some other things. After all the calculations, the profit can be even greater.

If the two families work together, the money they can earn should be considerable.

"Husband?" Sun Bailian looked eager and wanted to agree.

If he could make money in another way, he would certainly prefer it. His family relied on Husband to go into the mountains to hunt and sell some money. The family also had a few acres of land, and the family of four lived well. But every time Husband went hunting in the mountains, he was terrified. There were wild beasts in the mountains, and who knew if he would encounter them one day. There were hunters in the village who died in the mountains. Sun Bailian didn't want Husband to make a living by hunting.

"You are the ones who came up with the idea of ​​making money. If it's 50-50, you will lose money, and we can't take advantage of you. How about this, 40-60, we get 40% and you get 60%." Cao Gang, who had been sitting there and listening silently, said.

"No, 50-50." Cao Xiangnan disagreed and insisted on his original opinion, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to do anything. There is no loss or no loss. Moreover, if it weren't for you, Wanfeng and I wouldn't be here like we are now."

Whether it was out of gratitude or something else, in short, they can have what they have today, and even better days in the future, all thanks to the help of Cao Gang and Sun Bailian and his wife. He believed in Qi Wanfeng's judgment of people, and also believed in his own judgment, so when he had the idea of ​​starting a food business, he thought of looking for Cao Gang and Sun Bailian to do it together.

The two people's eyes met, and the silent man looked away and looked at Sun Bailian on the side. Sun Bailian didn't say anything, but he looked at his husband with hope in his eyes. No matter what the share was, he hoped that his husband would agree.

Cao Gang looked at Cao Xiangnan, and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

Sun Bailian almost jumped up with joy, with a face full of joy.

Several children didn't understand what the adults were talking about. After sitting in their seats for a while, their little butts couldn't sit still and ran away. One ran away, followed by the second, the third, and they all ran away.

The four adults who were still sitting around the table were still discussing business matters. Cao Xiangnan had come up with the idea, so he had already had an idea in mind. Now that the two families were working together, they had to discuss what was the best way to do it. Cao Gang was a man who listened quietly most of the time, occasionally interjecting a word. Every time he put forward an opinion and idea, it was very effective.

It was getting late, and the road outside was not easy to walk after dark. Sun Bailian and the others also had to take the children home.

"Happy cooperation." Standing up, Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand to Cao Gang, and the two men shook hands, with smiles on their faces.

After sending the guests away, the door to the yard was closed.

The sunset glow on the horizon faded, leaving only the last bit of light. Gradually, the last bit of light disappeared on the horizon, and it was dark.
