A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Liu Chuan and his wife are two people who make food, and their craftsmanship is not much different.

In addition, the ingredients prepared by Chen Changsheng were plentiful, and the kitchen at home was spacious. Several large pots were started at the same time, and three people each took charge of a pot. Soon, a table full of dishes was prepared before noon.

"Mom, I'm back!" Sanshou was the first to run home.

While he was still outside the courtyard, his nose had already smelled the aroma of food.

He nodded and rushed to the stove, "Mom, what delicious food did you cook today? How delicious is it!"

Chen Changsheng carried the vegetable bowl out and was almost hit, but narrowly avoided his collision.

She laughed and scolded, "Oh, look at the road! Go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon!"

Dafu and others were about to go into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, and saw Liu Chuan's family also there. They were already old acquaintances, and they became acquainted quickly.

Eight people sat around the round table, with sumptuous dishes in front of them, feeling happier than during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Changsheng briefly introduced Liu Chuan's family of three and explained their purpose of coming. Everyone had a very comfortable meal.

After the meal, Liu Chuan and the others took their luggage and went to the rest room at the workshop to rest. Chen Changsheng also locked the courtyard door, and the five of them, mother and son, rode a carriage toward the county seat.

In addition to buying everyone's winter clothes, we also need to buy a lot of things from the sugar factory.

Chen Changsheng first went to a clothing store, which had clothing and cloth sales.

She didn't know how to work as a craftswoman, let alone such delicate work as sewing, so she chose to buy ready-made clothes directly.

I bought two pairs of thick clothes for everyone. The fabric doesn’t need to be as good as silk and satin, just clean, tidy and warm.

When the twelfth lunar month of winter arrives, you will not be afraid of the cold if you put on warm autumn clothes and autumn trousers plus a top layer.

But she hasn't decided what shoes to wear in winter. The old cotton shoes are warm, but they look a bit ugly.

Why not buy some materials and shoe soles and go back to the old house to ask Mrs. Chen for advice. You should be able to make a few pairs of decent shoes.

Thinking of this, she asked the clerk in the store to bring out some more fabrics, and selected dark colors, maroon colors, and younger water pink and light orange colors. These pieces of fabrics were given to the old house.

The dark color is for Mrs. Chen, the maroon color is for the two brothers-in-law, the water pink and light orange are for Liu and Cui, and I bought a few more feet of material to make cotton shoes.

The only things that were missing in the sugar workshop were found in the grocery store. After leaving the clothing store, Chen Changsheng drove his horse to the grocery store.

The shopkeeper in the shop was somewhat impressed by Chen Changsheng because she gave each child a small purse when she came back last time.

This was the first time I had seen a rural woman giving a child a purse like this, so when I saw her again this time, the shopkeeper was extra enthusiastic and greeted her personally.

"Madam, what did you come here to buy today?"

"I want to buy some things for the kitchen. I need eight sets of pots and spoons, and twenty sets of wooden basins and barrels. By the way, I also need fine gauze, do you have any?"

Gauze is used to filter sugar cane juice. After impurities are removed, the taste of the brewed candy will be denser.

The shopkeeper responded, "We have other things. As for gauze, we don't sell it in the store, but I can arrange for my assistant to help my wife buy it from another store and give it to you at the original price."

When the shopkeeper heard that Chen Changsheng wanted eight sets of pots and spoons and twenty sets of buckets and basins, he thought it was a wealthy family who wanted to hold a banquet.

If you can establish a relationship with this wealthy family, it will be easier to do business in the future. Therefore, if Chen Changsheng needs something, he will help him buy it at the original price.

Chen Changsheng naturally enjoyed it even more. Having someone help him run errands would save him a lot of worry.

I also selected some supplies and other miscellaneous things in the two lounges, replenished the daily necessities that were in short supply at home, paid a deposit, and the two parties agreed to deliver the goods in three days.

By the time we returned to Chenjiacun, the sky had completely darkened.

Guessing that dinner was being held at the old house, she couldn't go and disturb them, so she drove the carriage home directly. It wouldn't be too late to deliver the fabrics tomorrow.

Chen Changsheng picked out the things Liu Chuan bought, called Dafu and told him, "Send the bedding and other things to the workshop for your brother Dachuan, and then tell him to come over tomorrow and I will introduce him to him." "Get off your horse, auntie."

Over there at the workshop.

Liu Chuan's family of three had just packed their belongings and were allocating rooms. The large lounge was for the young couple, and the smaller one was for Chunya and her father, Du Lao.

Liu Chuan originally wanted to leave the large lounge to his father-in-law, but Father Du refused.

"I'm a bad old man. It's great for a foreigner to have a place to retire. How can I occupy a big house when half of my body is buried in the ground? This bright and spacious house is just suitable for you and Chun Ya."

Before Liu Chuan could continue to speak, he carried his small baggage to the small lounge.

Father Du is also a hard-working man, "Xiaochuan, I saw that Mrs. Chen treats you and Chun Ya very well. She introduces workers and arranges accommodation. We must have a conscience, but we must work well for others. !”

"Dad, you don't need to tell me this, I naturally know it."

The three of them were talking and heard Chen Dafu shouting outside the house.

Chen Dafu took off the backpack on his back and said, "Brother Dachuan, my mother asked me to send this. Can you see if there is anything missing?"

Liu Chuan and Chun Ya looked at the basket full of things in front of them, including food and clothing, everything was taken care of, and the preparations were extremely appropriate. They just sighed at Chen Changsheng's thoughtfulness.

Dafu explained his purpose of coming again, and they chatted for a while and went about their business.

**

Chen Changsheng's sugar factory was finally completed, and recruitment was going smoothly.

A total of sixteen people were recruited, including two women for cleaning and squeezing and filtering, seven strong men for cooking, two men for turning sand, and two clever men for packing. girl and a neat woman.

They are all from the Chen family village.

When the sugar factory was still under construction, some people couldn't help but inquire. When they learned that it was owned by Chen Changsheng's family, many people had already rushed to Aunt Ma to pre-register before the recruitment news was released.

As soon as the recruitment news was released, workers came in droves and the place was filled immediately.

Liu Chuan followed Ma Daju to recruit people in the village. After going back and forth, he became familiar with the workers in the sugar factory.

Chen Changsheng chose an auspicious day, hung up a few strings of firecrackers, and opened the business in a lively manner.

Shen Bohu also had people deliver sugar cane early. Dozens of trucks of sugar cane were continuously sent to Chenjiacun. Following the process step by step, the squeezed sugar cane juice was carried to the "sugar cooking room" in a bucket. The sugar cooking room is a long sugar cooking stove with seven large pots placed side by side.

Large pots were boiling syrup side by side, and firewood was burning brightly under the stove. The sugar cane juice is poured into the first large pot, then boiled, and the bubbles that emerge are scooped out. Turn down the pot one pot at a time. When you turn to the seventh pot, the brown sugar is about to boil out.

The workshop is filled with the fragrance of sugar pressing.
