Chapter 63 Mutual Benefit



Throwing away the crutches heralded a new beginning, at least for Cao Xiangnan.

Three months were over, and he was in charge of the accounts. A book clearly recorded every expenditure and income of the stall. Cao Xiangnan would do the accounts every day, so the accounts were clear at the end of the month. He did the accounts and distributed the money to everyone.

The first month's dividends made everyone very happy. Sun Ji paid the money that was supposed to be collected in one hand. Originally, Cao Xiangnan wanted him to pay it in installments, but Sun Ji was unwilling. He said that he owed too much debt, and what he was most afraid of was owing money to others. Now he wanted to pay back all the money he owed.

As for how much money the father and son have earned, we have to ask them to find out. That night, the father and son went to several families' homes, took back the IOUs they had written when they borrowed money, and burned them.

They believed that the remaining money would be repaid soon.

"So much?" Chen Hong saw the money her husband took out, his eyes widened, walked over to close the door, and then took out the small cloth bag he had hidden in the corner. There was also money for buying vegetables in it, which was also quite a lot. "Xiangnan gave it to

me, I don't know how much it is." Everyone's money was packed in a money bag, Cao Dapeng did not open it to see, but took it back and gave it to his wife.

In the past, Chen Hong thought the man she married was stupid and too honest, so he was bullied by his brothers. The three brothers wanted him to support their mother alone, so he had no choice but to help. It's good that stupid people have good luck, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Cao Jia Silang. Now Cao Jia Silang has asked his husband to do business with him, and he doesn't have to worry about no one buying the vegetables from his farm.

His husband is filial and honest, and he treats him well. Now he gives all the money he earns back to him and treats him wholeheartedly. The two boys at home are also filial like his father, so Chen Hong doesn't ask for anything anymore.

Sun Bailian's family also received a lot of money. In the future, if her husband doesn't go up the mountain to hunt, she won't have to worry. The money she earned is in her pocket. When she thinks that her husband won't go up the mountain in the future, she can sleep well at night.

Cao Gang embraced the sleeping man, and saw that the corners of his mouth were still curled up even when he was asleep. He reached out and touched it, and fell asleep with him.

That night, several families were so happy that they couldn't sleep. They talked all night, and they all had dark circles under their eyes when they woke up the next morning.

Chen Hong drove her husband away, so he could sleep a little longer in the house. As for Cao Dapeng, he had to get up early to work.

After the money was divided on the first day, everyone worked harder on the second day.

"Take it, this is for Xuanxuan." Cao Xiangnan turned around and calculated Xuanxuan's wages. He handed the money to Aning. Xuanxuan worked at their stall every day, and Aning would come over to help. He calculated the money for the father and son.

It was not much, just two guan of money. This money came from his own pocket and was not counted in the public account.

"This..." Aning didn't want to take it. His children ate their fill at the stall every day, and Cao Xiangnan often packed leftovers for the father and son to eat. Now he had to give them money. How could he feel embarrassed to take it?

This year, he wandered around with his child. The banknotes he brought with him earlier were stolen by thieves. The remaining small change was spent later. He brought his child to Fenshui Town and settled down here.

Later, he had no money in his pocket. He relied on working to earn some rent and food money. The child followed him and ate one meal a day. He could bear it, but the child couldn't. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to Cao Xiangnan's stall when he was hungry. Fortunately, he met a kind person.

"Take it back and buy some good food for the child. I told Xuanxuan from the beginning that I would pay him wages. If you don't believe me, ask Xuanxuan." Cao Xiangnan stuffed the purse into Aning's hand, reached out and touched Xuanxuan's head standing beside him, and asked, "Xuanxuan, don't you agree?"

Aning had no choice but to take the purse off and hold it tightly in his hand.

In the small room at night, a small oil lamp on the table was blown out, and the child on the bed fell asleep. The stubborn brows in the daytime were relaxed, and now they looked like a child. Sitting on the bed, Am reached out and touched the child's face, with two lines of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

March has passed, and the weather in April has become a little warmer. The following May and June are summer.

The business at the stall gradually got on track, and Cao Xiangnan no longer sat there every day. Sun Ji was the fastest learner and had a strong receptive ability. He could handle the customers who came to eat with ease, so he felt relieved to leave the stall to Sun Ji.

Cao Dapeng was quite talented in cooking, and the food he cooked had 70% of his taste, so Cao Xiangnan felt relieved even without him at the stall. He only had to control the general direction, and come up with something new every once in a while. There were more customers every day.

It took him a few days to learn how to drive from Cao Gang. His back and waist ached a lot in the first few days, but he gradually learned it, and his back and legs no longer ached.

It takes a long time to pickle sauerkraut. When the sauerkraut is not ready, the kimchi has already been sold.

There are many kinds of kimchi. Radish is indispensable. Cabbage, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, cowpea, etc. He pickled a jar of various flavors, pickled with pepper, dried chili, ginger, vinegar, sugar and salt. The taste is refreshing and delicious, sour and spicy. It can be eaten dry or used as a seasoning for cooking. Kimchi

is not available here yet. This thing is still fresh to everyone. At first, only a small plate was sent to the customers for tasting. The tasting effect was very good. Most of the customers who came to the store were boys who liked to eat it. If there were boys at home, they would also take a small jar back home, so the store would soon sell out.

"Brother, I was thinking of sending someone to look for you, but you came here by yourself." Liu Zhangui saw that Cao Xiangnan's smile was getting bigger and bigger, and he spoke to him in a familiar tone, just like an old friend who had known each other for a long time.

"I came here just because I knew that Liu Zhangui wanted to look for me." Cao Xiangnan smiled. He would come to Yipinzhai to have a drink with Liu Zhangui every now and then. Even if he didn't come, Liu Zhangui would send someone to look for him.

When the waiters in the store saw him, they would smile and call him "Master Cao", as if they were listing him as a master.

Yipinzhai has been constantly introducing new dishes recently, so the business in the restaurant has been very good recently. The income for half a month is more than the usual monthly income. As long as the number on the account is seen, the shopkeeper Liu will be so happy that he can't sleep all night.

After Yipinzhai launched the chopped pepper fish head, everyone who came to the store would definitely order a portion of chopped pepper fish head. There were also many people who ate rice noodles, and casserole noodles were the most popular. Cao Xiangnan also sold the shopkeeper Liu a recipe for making ramen. The money that Liu the old fox gave was sincere enough, so he also gave half of the cooking method of ramen to Liu.

So they are mutually beneficial. If Yipinzhai's business is good, he will also be popular with Liu. If Liu wants his business to get better and better, he must support him, so they have become close friends regardless of age.

"Brother, the pickles you sent are almost gone. How much do you have left? Send them to me quickly. I want as much as I can." The pickles from the small pots that were sent a few days ago are almost gone. Manager

Liu has also tried the things from the small pots. He doesn't like the spicy taste, which is sour and spicy. He originally thought that no one would like to eat that thing. He didn't expect that it would be sold out in just a few days. Manager Liu hurried to find Cao Xiangnan to ask for more.

Cao Xiangnan stared at the shopkeeper Liu and smiled. He had not forgotten that shopkeeper Liu had once tried to dislike that thing. He sat down on the stool, picked up the tea that shopkeeper Liu had poured for him personally, took a sip, and looked at the anxious shopkeeper Liu with a half-smile. Seeing that he had almost satisfied the shopkeeper Liu's appetite, he said, "It's not much more. It will allow you to sell the next batch of goods here, brother." "Hurry up!" Hurry up, send all of them here as soon as possible." When storekeeper Liu heard that there was more, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down next to Cao Xiangnan, took out a banknote from his inner pocket and handed it to him, saying, "If there is less, ask me to make up for it, and if there is more, we will count it together next time."

Cao Xiangnan picked up the banknote, glanced at the number on it, nodded and said, "It's

not a small amount, but it's more. I'll reduce the extra amount next time." "It doesn't matter whether you reduce it or not, it doesn't matter a few dollars." Storekeeper Liu is no longer stingy now that he has made money, and he doesn't hold on to the extra money, so he waved his hand and said.

"No, business has to be settled one by one. I'll bring my account book to you at the end of the month to settle the accounts." Cao Xiangnan is now the accountant, and all the accounts are in his hands.

He taught Qi Wanfeng how to do accounting, but accounting is not something that can be learned in a day or two. Sun Ji, on the other hand, learned very quickly. If he was not at the stall, he would report the daily accounts to him carefully.

Sun's father's business was getting better and better. Originally, he said that he would let Qi Wanfeng sell the rice noodles first, and then settle with him at the end of the month when he had money. But now he can pay off the previous debts, and he can settle the accounts every day when he takes in goods from now on. Now the amount of rice noodles he takes every day is also larger.

Both father and son are good businessmen. Cao Xiangnan is not in a hurry to bring Sun Yanshan over. He lets him work alone first, which is also a good opportunity for him to exercise.

After leaving Yipinzhai, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang to drive the carriage to the shop in the town to get the ordered pots, and then ordered another batch of pots. Now the pots he ordered here are enough to support the shop.

He ordered a lot of pots, and the owner of the shop was also interesting. He took the initiative to give him a cheaper price. He paid the deposit to the owner first. The boss took the money and smiled, "Mr. Cao, please support our business in the future, and I won't have to worry about anything."

"Haha, of course." Cao Xiangnan had good relations with the owners of these shops that he often did business with, so he would send them a portion of the delicious food he had.

Now Cao Xiangnan was the breadwinner of these people, supporting their families, and they treated him as a guest of honor. After loading the altars into the car and leaving the store, Cao Xiangnan jumped on the carriage, sat on it, and drove away.
