Cao Jun arrived at Wangjia Village the next morning. After a night of rest, he had calmed down a bit and was not in a hurry to go to Zheng Xiaoman's house.

After traveling all night, he had to find a place to sleep.

So when Mr. Fang came back from school, he saw his old friend sleeping soundly in his bed.

Mr. Fang was almost laughing at this guy. This guy really didn't treat him as an outsider and didn't even tell him that he was coming.

He walked over and pushed the other person twice, "Wake up, wake up, the sun will rise if you sleep any longer."

Cao Jun, who was in a daze, hummed twice, turned over in bed and went back to sleep.

Mr. Fang laughed, walked to the table and picked up the teacup on it.

"Ah, it's raining. Why is it raining suddenly?"

Cao Jun, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly felt cold water drops on his face. He was so startled that he sat up from the bed.

He was still a little dazed and looked around frantically. It took him a while to realize where he was.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, saw the water on his palm, then looked at his old friend sitting beside him leisurely drinking tea. He clearly didn't understand what had just happened.

"You old man, why did you splash water on my face? I thought it was raining."

Fang Xiucai looked at him and snorted twice, "I can't wake you up if I don't do this. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what's the point of you coming here all of a sudden?"

Cao Jun put on his shoes, got out of bed, stood up and stretched.

"I drove here all night yesterday. I couldn't hold on any longer, so I came to your place to rest.

Alas, time really is unforgiving. When I was young, I could go without sleep for two or three days without any problem. "

Fang Xiucai put down the cup and asked, "What's the important matter that brought you here?"

Cao Jun paused, uh, it seemed that this was not really an urgent matter.

Could he say that he was so excited while eating the hotpot that he suddenly had a brain storm and came here overnight?

Looking at his expression, Fang Xiucai knew what he was thinking.

His good friend is still so impulsive even at such an old age.

"Okay, stop talking. I guess you're just out of your mind again. Hurry up and do what you need to do."

Mr. Fang was too lazy to pay attention to him and just started to chase him away.

Cao Jun straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Come on, come with me to the Zheng family. I'm here to discuss another business deal."

Mr. Fang didn't want to go at first, as he had no interest in business matters.

But in the end, he couldn't stand his old friend's persistence and had to follow him to Zheng's house.

When they arrived, Zheng Xiaoman was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Cao Jun was not polite. After greeting Zheng Dashan in the yard, he went straight into the kitchen.

Zheng Xiaoman blinked and looked at the person who suddenly appeared, thinking he was dazzled.

Cao Jun looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile, "Xiao Man, what delicious food have you made? Why does it smell so good?"

Zheng Xiaoman looked down at the pork stewed with vermicelli in the pot. This was vermicelli made from sweet potato flour that she had just made today.

It’s not surprising that this person is quite lucky, as he can try the new food she made.

"Uncle Cao, this is a new dish I made. It's the first time I made it today. It will be ready soon. Please help me taste it later to see how it tastes."

When Cao Jun heard that it was a new food, his eyes lit up a little, and he smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you."

Mr. Fang felt that he was embarrassing himself, so he came over and pulled him into the house.

How can you imagine someone like him? When he's a guest at someone's house, he always sneaks into their kitchen.

Cao Jun was pulled out unwillingly. Zheng Xiaoman looked at his back and shook his head with amusement.

In addition to making a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli in the evening, she also made a dish of stir-fried spinach with vermicelli.

When guests came to her house, she made spicy rabbit meat and shredded chicken.

All the rabbits that their family had raised were sold to Cao Jun's restaurant. When people in the village knew that their family raised rabbits, many people came to their house to buy rabbits to raise.

Her family and the Yang family next door were the first to raise rabbits. They made more than ten taels of silver from selling the first batch of rabbits.

However, Zheng Xiaoman no longer planned to raise rabbits, and only kept a few at home for his own consumption.

Her family no longer relies on selling rabbits to make money. Rabbits reproduce too fast, and their family can have dozens of little rabbits in a month.

As the number of rabbits increases, a lot of fodder is needed, so someone will need to go to the mountains every day to cut grass and feed the rabbits.

She also plans to make vermicelli later, but there probably isn't enough manpower at home to take care of this.

So a while ago she packed up all the dozens of little rabbits left at home and gave them to Sister Xiaoyu.

Ever since Zheng Xiaoyu got married, Mao Gen has been feeling sorry for her and never lets her do any heavy work.

She could only cook and raise chickens and pigs at home. Her life was easy, but she still wanted to earn more money to supplement the family income.

So when Zheng Xiaoman found her and asked her if she wanted a little rabbit, she agreed immediately.

Zheng Xiaoman gave her all the little rabbits and didn't take any money from her.

Zheng Xiaoyu was grateful in her heart. She owed her second uncle's family too much, so she would pay them back slowly in the future.

Now their family can sell twenty to thirty rabbits every month. The prepared rabbit meat is 30 wen per pound, and one rabbit can be sold for sixty or seventy wen.

In this way, after a month, you can sell it for less than two taels of silver.

However, you need to go up the mountain every day to cut a lot of hay to feed the rabbits, and prepare the grass that the rabbits will eat in winter in advance.

Zheng Xiaoman also gave her all the sweet potato vines he harvested from the fields, which could be used to feed pigs or rabbits.

This reduced Zheng Xiaoyu's workload a lot. In addition, her two brothers-in-law would help to mow the lawn every day, so she wouldn't be too tired.

Seeing her family getting better day by day, she feels very fulfilled every day.

Mao Gen and his two younger brothers also felt the difference of having a woman at home. In the past, when they came back from work, they would just eat some cold dishes and cold rice.

Now, no matter how late they come back, there will always be hot meals on the stove for them.

We now have three pigs, more than twenty chickens and dozens of rabbits at home, and our lives are getting better day by day.

By next autumn, the family will have saved enough money to help Mao Laoer and Mao Laosan get married.

Back at Zheng Xiaoman's house, hot meals were served on the table and the whole house was filled with the aroma of food.

After everyone was done, Zheng Xiaoman pointed to the bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli in the middle of the table and said, "This is the vermicelli I made. I tasted it and it tastes pretty good, but I don't know if you can get used to eating it."

Some people particularly like to eat vermicelli, while others hate its greasy taste.

So she wasn't sure whether people at that time could accept such new food.

After she finished her introduction, Cao Jun couldn't wait to reach out for his chopsticks.

It was just because it was his first time eating vermicelli, and he didn’t know it was so slippery.

He tried twice to pick it up but failed, and the vermicelli slipped from between his chopsticks and into the bowl.
