Otherworldly Days

Chapter 195 Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow

"Several guest officers, please come inside, please come inside." The waiter saw several carriages parked at the door of their Yipinzhai, and seeing that they were masters with status and status, he hurried up to greet them and greeted them inside go in.

The shopkeeper Fang raised his eyes and recognized the old lady of the Shen residence, he quickly got up, walked over in person, greeted the old lady kindly, led the group upstairs, and led them into a room Big room.

"Madam, sit down." Mrs. Shen personally helped her mother-in-law to sit down.

"Sit down, too." Mrs. Shen, who sat down, waved her hands. Seeing that everyone had sat down, she looked around, "Well, it's not bad." She was quite satisfied with this place.

The families that followed were all well-known families in Nanyang. They received the news that Mrs. Shen was going to find a wife for her grandson, so they all brought out the brothers and sisters of the family, so there were seven or eight people in the group, and it was just right to sit down. There is a table.

When Shen Zhengyang arrived at Yipinzhai together with Cao Xiangnan, he heard that Ah Mo and Ah Mu were upstairs. Now that he knew that Ah Mo and Ah Mu were here, he had to go up to say hello.

He turned around and greeted Cao Xiangnan, and he went upstairs to the wing.

"Young master." The servant who opened the door shouted happily when he saw his young master.

The old Mrs. Shen inside also heard the young master, and knew that it was his grandson who came, "Is Yang'er here? Come in soon."

Hearing his Ah Mo's voice, Shen Zhengyang followed the waiter in, and saw Ah Mo sitting in the middle, and Ah Mu next to him, and of course saw the wives from other families and the elder brother brought along with him, feeling in his heart With a howl, I knew I would never come up.

"Yang'er, have you eaten yet? Come here and sit here." Mrs. Shen waved, very happy to see her grandson.

"Yes." Shen Zhengyang walked over, bowed to Ah Mo and Ah Mu, and also saluted several elders, and after greeting his friends of the same generation, he sat down in the seat where he joined.

In the whole process, besides smiling, he also responded humbly to other people's questions.As for those brothers who looked at him shyly and timidly, Young Master Shen rolled his eyes in his heart, he didn't like them either.

Cao Xiangnan downstairs didn't know that Young Master Shen upstairs was in dire straits, and as soon as he came back, he plunged into the kitchen to get busy.

Taking advantage of the time now, Cao Xiangnan hastily determined the new winter dishes.

There are not many fresh foods in winter. If it is a snowy day, there is nothing to sell in the cold outside. At this time, there is not much fresh food except for dried meat and pickled vegetables. something to eat.

Big white radish is the most durable thing in winter. It is just right to cook mutton soup, so it is a good choice to eat mutton hot pot at that time.The mutton soup boiled after cooking, without the smell, even people who don't like mutton will like it.In addition, mutton is good even if it is smoldering, stir-frying, and cooking, and it can make several dishes.

People here don't like to eat mutton. It's because the smell of mutton is not dealt with. He believes that most people can accept mutton after cooking.

"Come on, try how it tastes." The boiled mutton soup is milky white and smells very fragrant. Cao Xiangnan gave the filled broth to Shopkeeper Fang to taste, and he himself held a bowl in one hand and drank it. One bite, I think the taste is okay.

"Very fresh." Shopkeeper Fang nodded, without the smell of mutton, and said, "This is the best mutton soup I've ever had."

Cao Xiangnan picked up the spoon, spooned a spoonful of soup dregs into the pot, and told Shopkeeper Fang one by one what he put in it, so he had to go to the pharmacy to prepare more of these ingredients, so as not to buy them when the time came. arrive.

"Okay, I'll get someone to prepare it in a while." Shopkeeper Fang nodded, and now he has to buy anything he needs.What I am most afraid of is that the boats coming and going will stop in Nanyang City in heavy snow. When the time comes, there will be many people in the building, and I am most afraid that there will be insufficient food, which will cause serious problems.

In one year, it snowed heavily for a whole month, and the businessmen stranded in Nanyang couldn’t get out. The avalanche blocked the road and it was difficult to get in and out. Later, many people starved to death. The incident of that year is still lingering in Fang’s heart. So at this time of the year, he would start to buy food in a big way, in case of a rainy day.

Nanyang is close to the river, the river is frozen and there are no boats to go fishing, and some fishermen will catch a few fish on the river bank to sell, so it will not be a problem to make pickled fish in the building.After agreeing with the shopkeeper, he will send a batch of sauerkraut over when he returns this time, and he will also make sauerkraut fish at that time. The sauerkraut fish in the building has always been selling well.

Now Cao Xiangnan has to prepare everything in advance, otherwise he will not come to Nanyang again when it snows later.Besides, there are no fresh vegetables to eat in winter, and the bean sprouts planted a few days ago also grew back later.Cao Xiangnan pulled out the bean sprouts and showed it to shopkeeper Fang, "What is this?" Shopkeeper Fang had never seen it before, but when he saw the green shell underneath, a thought flashed in his mind.

"It's just what you think." Cao Xiangnan nodded, and then took the shopkeeper Fang into a storage room in the backyard, and lifted a piece of cloth. The bean sprouts were planted under the ground, and he whispered the things that need to be paid attention to when planting bean sprouts. Shopkeeper Fang said in his ear, "We can use these beans to grow fresh bean sprouts even in winter, so we won't be afraid that there will be no fresh vegetables to eat in winter."

"This, this is really great!" Shopkeeper Fang didn't expect that they could grow vegetables in winter, and with these fresh bean sprouts, they would be able to outperform other restaurants in Yipinzhai. He was so happy up.

At noon, Cao Xiangnan also fried a few dishes with bean sprouts for Shopkeeper Fang to try. After trying the taste, Shopkeeper Fang nodded.In addition, the kimchi in their building is also unique, and now many people like to come to their building to buy kimchi. With these things, shopkeeper Fang will be more sure that they are not afraid of bad business this winter.

He also plans to grow mushrooms at home, so now Cao Xiangnan doesn't have much time to stay in Nanyang, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with at home.

Day by day after arriving in Nanyang, he began to feel a little anxious. In fact, he was thinking about his family and worried that he would not be able to take care of himself and his children if he was alone at home. He wanted to go back there.

It took a few days later, Cao Xiangnan taught all the new dishes to the chef in the building, and then gave the recipes to the shopkeeper Fang.He also explained clearly to Shopkeeper Fang one by one what needed to be explained.

Cao Xiangnan didn't leave at the supper stall either. Now that the weather is getting colder, the shed outside is already being built. When the time comes, the surrounding area can still be set up and a table can be set up to eat hot pot.He also plans to make hot pot here. As for the river noodles, he doesn’t plan to make any more. He will make some noodles and eat it. The smell of barbecue in the shed is too strong, so he doesn’t plan to make barbecue anymore. There may not be many people coming to eat, it depends on the situation.

After the weather is cold, not many people will come out for supper.After negotiating with Manager Zhou, it was confirmed that the place would open in the afternoon and close at night if no one came for supper after dark.

"As for the noodles and vegetables, I have explained it to shopkeeper Fang. The noodles and vegetables here will be delivered every day. As for how much you need, it depends on the situation. You can tell shopkeeper Fang when the time comes. I might not be able to come here." That means that he will not be able to come to Nanyang from Fenshui until the snow melts in February and March tomorrow.

In fact, there is another way to come, and that is to go by land, which takes a few days longer than by water.

When the weather is cold and they are still running outside, it is simply that there is a hole in the brain. Cao Xiangnan feels that his brain is not in the hole.

"Well, okay, don't worry, I'll make arrangements here." Manager Zhou smiled, with crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, and he memorized everything the little boss ordered in his mind one by one.He has been here in Nanyang for many years, and he is also experienced in handling these matters.

But now there are still two months until winter snows, so many things can come and be prepared urgently.

It will take a few days for the decoration of the shop, and it will not be so fast in a while. Even after the decoration of the shop, the craftsmen can't keep up with the things made by the craftsmen. Cao Xiangnan deeply understands the advantages of mechanization. The production was far behind, and other things were almost arranged. He and Shen Zhengyang also discussed about the store.

In fact, he is not bad here. He has pointed out several complex toys one by one, and the rest of the craftsmen can make them by themselves, so it doesn't matter if he is there or not.But when the business opened, Young Master Shen still wanted him to be there. Cao Xiangnan thought that he should be there, and he could be considered a half-boss anyway.

"Well, let's arrange the opening time after the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, the craftsmen on Qu Guanshi's side will be able to make things, and the shop will also be decorated. It won't be too late to open again." Most importantly, he He is going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Cao Xiangnan was rushing home now, he couldn't sleep for several nights, he said, "I'll go back to Fenshui first, there are still a lot of things that haven't been arranged, I'll come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival .”

Shen Zhengyang pulled Cao Xiangnan, he didn't want this person to go back, "Can't you stay?" he asked.

Cao Xiangnan spread his hands, seeing Young Master Shen's appearance, if he didn't know that Young Master Shen was indeed a boy, he would have suspected that he was a brother, even if you were a brother, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to you, he was determined He said calmly, "No, I've been out for too long, and my wife is about to give birth. I don't worry about him being alone at home with the baby. I want to go back and have a look."

"..." Young Master Shen.

"When did you have a daughter-in-law! The daughter-in-law is about to give birth! There are still children at home!" Young Master Shen, who has not yet married a wife, was shocked by a series of facts, with a look of "you cheated your feelings".

"So, I won't stay in Nanyang, I want to go home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my wife and children." Cao Xiaozi said ruthlessly.

Shen Zhengyang almost cried!

Arrange things in Nanyang well. As for cooperating with Young Master Shen, Cao Xiangnan will hand over to Sun Ji to take over. Anyway, he just wants to go home.After greeting Shopkeeper Fang, he took Sun's other two boys, Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin who came with them, and some random things on the big boat that passed Fenshui, and went home.

"Master, let's go back too." The guard said seeing their young master unhappy.

Knowing that he was the only kid in the Shen family, and that Mid-Autumn Festival left Ah Mo and Ah Mu to go outside, Shen Zhengyang could only obediently stay in Nanyang to spend the festival with his family.

As for Cao Xiangnan who left him and ran away, he gritted his teeth in his heart!He will also follow to play next time.
