In the morning, Cao Xiangnan went to the building materials store in the town with Cao Gang to look at the materials. He was too busy yesterday to come here. He had to ask the master to pick the day for building the house. The blue bricks and tiles for building the house here must be ordered in advance from the building materials store, so these problems must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no materials to build the house.

The two followed the boss to look at the blue bricks and tiles, and felt quite satisfied. After negotiating the price, they ordered them, and Cao Xiangnan paid the deposit.

There is also wood here. In this era when wood is everywhere, the wood here is not expensive. He simply ordered the wood together, so that he would not have to trouble others to go up the mountain to help cut wood when he returned to the village. Not only would he owe others a favor, but it would also be bad if something unexpected happened when going up and down the mountain.

After learning from the material seller that there was a master who specialized in building houses in the town, the two of them went to look for him. The place was not difficult to find, and they knew it after asking.

"Is this Master Feng's house?" Cao Xiangnan shouted at the door.

"Yes, you are?" the person inside asked.

They introduced Boss Zhao and explained their purpose, and the other party welcomed them in. Master Feng happened to be at home when they arrived. The three of them sat down, and Cao Xiangnan talked to Master Feng about building a house.

"The house faces north and south. There is a living room at the entrance. There is a master bedroom with a bathroom. This is the back door, and this is the dining area. There is a room behind this, and another room over here..." Cao Xiangnan drew his idea on paper and gave it to the other party. He used the modern house structure of his previous life.

The living room is at the entrance, and there is a master bedroom and a second bedroom on the southeast side. There is a bathroom and a dining room in the house. The lighting in the house should be good and bright. In addition, there are not many people in their family. Considering the limited resources, Cao Xiangnan would not consider the structure of a large courtyard like that of this era. It is too wasteful for them.

The main purpose of the house is to live comfortably and meet basic functions.

Cao Xiangnan drew the composition of the house on the drawing paper. After he said this, Master Feng also understood it at a glance.

"Good, good, this is good." Feng Guang has been building houses for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has heard of such a fresh composition. He also thinks it is very good.

Considering the problem of being too cold here in winter, Cao Xiangnan planned to build a fireplace on the wall of the living room, and use the fire in the fireplace to transfer the heat to the two connected secondary bedrooms at the back. These two rooms are prepared for the children in the family to live in, so that when the fireplace in the living room is lit in winter, the room will also be warm.

The two talked about this issue with great interest. Master Feng is indeed a professional master. Cao Xiangnan understood many problems as soon as he was pointed out, and Master Feng's words could also give him some inspiration.

Cao Gang accompanied him, watching and silently keeping it in mind.

After the wages were agreed upon, Master Feng would be in charge of the main people who built the house. After agreeing on the time, Master Feng would arrange the rest. They left Master Feng's place and went to several places to handle the things. Then they went back to help at the stall.

As soon as he returned to the stall, he heard that someone from Yipinzhai came to see him. It seemed that Manager Liu asked someone in the store to come to see him. He asked Sun Ji to look after the stall, and Cao Xiangnan went to Yipinzhai. Yipinzhai's

business has been very good recently. After a month's bill was sent up, someone came from Nanyang City. It was Manager Fang from Nanyang City. Manager Liu and Manager Fang were also old acquaintances.

When people came to his place, the shopkeeper Liu did not hide anything and asked the chef upstairs to prepare a table of special dishes from their store. The old acquaintances who had not seen each other for a long time sat together and had a couple of drinks.

After tasting the first bite, the shopkeeper Fang nodded with satisfaction. When he heard Old Liu mention the boy who made these dishes, he said he wanted to meet that boy. The shopkeeper Liu asked someone to go to the stall to find the guy, but the person who came back said that the guy was not there. The shopkeeper Fang did not have much time, and seeing that the guy was not there, he had to give up and hurried back.

"If I can't meet him this time, I'll have to wait until the next time I come to see him." The shopkeeper Fang still felt a little regretful. He wanted to see who could make such delicious food. However, the boat at the dock was about to leave, so he could only hurry back to Nanyang.

Shopkeeper Liu was very considerate, and took out a few recipes and gave Shopkeeper Fang a few small pots of pickled vegetables. He only had so much pickled vegetables, and he was reluctant to give too much, as he had to keep some for sale in the store.

"I can't take advantage of your little brother Cao, so I want to express my feelings. You can give this to him." Shopkeeper Fang heard from Shopkeeper Liu that he liked that boy. Since he had the recipe, he couldn't take advantage of him, so he took out a banknote as payment for the recipe.

"Then I will thank Brother Fang on behalf of my younger brother Cao." Manager Liu took the banknote with a smile and put it into his sleeve without refusing it.

Manager Liu sent the person away. Cao Xiangnan had just gone to Yipinzhai, while Manager Fang had already boarded a merchant ship bound for Nanyang City and returned to Nanyang. The two did not run into each other.

"Brother, do you have something to ask me?" Cao Xiangnan went to the storekeeper Liu and saw that the storekeeper Liu took out a banknote, which meant to be for him. He did not reach out to take it. He was puzzled as to why the storekeeper Liu gave him money again, and said, "The next batch of goods does not need so much money." "Where is the money for the order? It's the money for your recipe. I give it to you." Storekeeper Liu told Cao Xiangnan about the visit from Nanyang. Although the original receipt was for their Yipinzhai, this receipt was also signed with him, the storekeeper Liu.

Now thinking about it, the money Cao Xiangnan gave for the recipe was far more than this price, and storekeeper Liu also knew that he had taken advantage of Cao Xiangnan.

Now that the recipes have been given to Fang, it means that all the Yipinzhai restaurants in Feng Dynasty may use the recipes. The money is also given by Fang to Cao Xiangnan, and he may have given too little.

Liu just told Cao Xiangnan about Yipinzhai. Yipinzhai is just a small restaurant here. The largest one is Yipinzhai in Nanyang. Even Fengdu has an old Yipinzhai restaurant.

Cao Xiangnan understood what he meant. He took the banknote from Liu and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

Liu was not a black-hearted person. If he was, he would not give Cao Xiangnan the money. Cao Xiangnan also understood in his heart that the money was given to Manager Liu for the sake of long-term cooperation, and he was very happy to do so.

When asked where he went this morning, Cao Xiangnan told Manager Liu about his plan to build a house. Manager Liu said that if there was anything he needed help with, he could ask him for help. Cao Xiangnan thanked Manager Liu and went back from Yipinzhai.

Since that day, no one has made trouble at their stall. I think Manager Liu handled the matter.

The day after Manager Liu went to the county magistrate's place, Chen Guicai was called by his brother and scolded, and he immediately became much more obedient. Although Chen Guicai was stupid, he knew that without his brother, he would not be where he is today. If his brother did not have the county lord, the Chen family would not be where they are today. So even though he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to provoke the small stall again. "Young Master, are we just going to let it go?" What about the business in the store? The shopkeeper was anxious.

"Go away." He was worried! Chen Guicai waved his hand, and his fat face was squeezed into a lump.

The shopkeeper saw that their boss was unhappy, so he didn't dare to go up and upset him. He could only think of a solution in his heart.

At night, there were thieves in their house again. There was chaos outside. They didn't tie up Dahei at night. The thieves wanted to steal horses, but they were first beaten by the bad-tempered Dahei. Thieves came outside at night, and they were also woken up. Cao Xiangnan went out with a stick.

"Wa wa wa... Mom... Wu wu wu mom..."

The child was awakened from his sleep by the sound and was crying. Qi Wanfeng quickly hugged the child in his arms. He was very resentful of the thieves who always made trouble in their house and made people sleep restlessly. He could only quickly coax the crying child. He was very distressed, "Be good, don't cry, don't cry, Mom is here, don't cry, An An, be good."

When the thieves saw the people in the house come out, they immediately ran away.

Dahei chased the thieves out and kicked the man several times with his horse hoof. The thief was kicked to the ground. The man got up and continued to run.

"Dahei, you are back." He stopped chasing after the shouting from behind.

Hearing the crying in the house, Cao Xiangnan quickly bolted the door and went into the house. The crying in the house gradually weakened. The child with tears in the corners of his eyes gradually fell asleep under the coaxing of his mother. His pouty mouth looked extremely aggrieved.

"Are you asleep?" Cao Xiangnan secretly glanced at the child, and kissed the pouty child through Qi Wanfeng.

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng responded. He was very upset to be woken up in the middle of the night.

Cao Xiangnan went to blow out the oil lamp on the table, got on the bed, and held Qi Wanfeng in his arms. He put his hand on his slightly bulging belly and felt the difference in his palm. There was a little life inside. He knew that this person had been sleepy recently and was not in a good mood to be woken up at night. He kissed Qi Wanfeng and coaxed him softly, "Go to sleep. Go to bed later tomorrow morning. I will find someone to deal with this matter tomorrow. I promise they won't dare to come recently."

Thieves came to their house again and again at night. It was not a solution to make such a fuss. The next day, Cao Xiangnan woke up with two dark circles under his eyes. He asked Wanfeng to sleep a little longer in bed, but he didn't. Instead, he got up with him.

Hearing Cao Xiangnan say that there were thieves here again at night, Cao Gang's face darkened. Sun Bailian cursed, "These damned ones will be punished by God sooner or later."

It was unknown whether they would be punished by God, but it was true that they would be punished by people soon.

"Brother Cao Gang, Sun Ji, come over here, I have an idea for you, let's do this..." Cao Xiangnan covered his mouth and yawned, waved his hand, and called a few people to come over to discuss quietly how to deal with this matter.

"Okay, count me in!" Sun Ji gritted his teeth.

"I'll beat these little thieves to death." Cao Dapeng rubbed his hands, and the usually honest man now had a sneer on his face.

Since you dare to steal things again and again at night, don't blame them for being rude!
