selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

Chen Xiangwen was five or six years older than Chen Xiangwu. Because of his age, he accidentally fell on a slope a few years ago. Since then, his legs and feet have not been very agile, and he has to use crutches to walk a little farther, and it is impossible to get off the ground.

Fortunately, his children and grandchildren are also filial, and the family is poor, but there is nothing too bad about it, and life is pretty smooth.

He came here today and said he was drinking with his younger brother, but in fact Chen Xiangwen can't drink too much now, and the two brothers are actually busy with their business while pushing a cup and changing a cup.

After Chen Chen finished drinking the half bowl of wine in his hand, the wine in Chen Xiangwen's bowl was not touched much.

It's the right thing to say--

If possible, I hope to give them a hand.

Chen Xiangwen said: "Ever since I fell to the ground, I can't get off the ground. Not to mention reducing the pressure on them, it is simply adding a big burden. Xiaochen, we don't want to be rich and powerful, we just want a little money in our hands, which can be given to our children." Buy some candy."

Everyone here understands the meaning of what Chen Xiangwen said. In fact, Chen Xiangwen came here the night the Chen family came back from the county collectively, but Chen Xiangwu said at the time that Chen Chen and the others were busy with this matter, and they had to ask Chen Chen. mean.As a result, Chen Chen went directly to the provincial capital, so he never had a chance and nothing to say.When Chen Chen came back from the provincial capital, he had been busy with shipping, and then it was raining and he couldn't go out, so he was delayed all the way until now.

Chen Xiangwu has a good relationship with his own brother, and the Chen family has a good relationship. Now that Chen Xiangwen asks the question, Chen Xiangwu has no reason not to help.

But as Chen Xiangwu said before, the Chen family was created by Chen Chen, and Chen Xiangwu wanted to ask Chen Chen what he meant.

At that moment, everyone looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked, "Grandpa, you should have heard my grandpa say what kind of business we are in, right?"

Chen Xiangwen said, "Your grandfather told me."

Chen Chen nodded, "Then I won't tell grandpa repeatedly, just tell grandpa the solution."

Chen Xiangwen didn't expect Chen Chen to be so straight to the point, he immediately sat up straight, "Say it."

"We are in the chili business, so chili peppers are what we need. If you are willing, grandpa, you can grow some chili peppers, and then I will collect them at the county price." Chen Chen asked: "Grandpa, do you think this is okay?" ?”

"Based on the price of pepper in the county?" Chen Xiangwen asked repeatedly.

Chen Chen nodded, "The pepper in the county is [-] cents a catty this year. If the price in the county remains the same next year, then we will also charge at this price."

Chen Xiangwen hurriedly asked, "How much can you charge?"

Chen Chen said with an unchanged expression: "Even if Grandpa uses all the land at home to grow peppers, I can still harvest them, so it depends on how much you are willing to plant, Grandpa."

Chen Xiangwen couldn't control it, "All?!"

Chen Chen smiled, "If Grandpa is willing."

Chen Xiangwen gasped for a moment, he never expected that Chen Chen would say everything!And it's still charged at the county price!

Two cents a catty of chili, 20 catties is 3000 yuan!And how many catties of pepper can be grown on one acre of land? More than 600 catties!If you sell them all, it will be [-] yuan!

Six hundred!

Whose chili can sell at this price? !

Even an acre of grain cannot be sold!

Chen Xiangwen asked with a trembling voice: "Xiaochen, is what you said true?"

"It's true." Chen Chen knew what he said meant to Chen Xiangwen, so he replied patiently, "We are all from the same family, and we can't lie to you, grandpa, if we lie to anyone."

Chen Xiangwen took a deep breath, "Okay! Our Chen family has a good son, Xiang Wu, you raised a good grandson!"

Chen Xiangwu laughed happily.

After settling a matter in his mind, Chen Xiangwen became more affectionate towards Chen Chen after that, and his kind enthusiasm and maintenance are probably similar to his own grandson.

After finally finishing the meal, it was dark outside. Chen Xiangwen's son, Chen Jianhua, came to pick him up with a flashlight. After sitting for a while, the father and son went home.

Only then did the old lady Li ask: "Do you really want Big Brother and the others to grow peppers too?"

Chen Xiangwu asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

Li Shi said: "We can't finish the peppers we are growing now. I'm afraid that after my eldest brother and the others grow them together, we will all be at a loss."

"Grandma, don't worry." Without waiting for Chen Xiangwu to answer, Chen Chen explained directly with a wink, "The peppers we grow ourselves are hard to pick, but when the time comes, the peppers grown by grandpa and the others will be picked by themselves. Yes. If you can’t run out of fresh peppers at that time, you can also ask them to dry them, and then we will charge them according to the dried price... In short, there are always more solutions than problems, and nothing serious will happen.”

Mrs. Li didn't have any big opinions on Chen Xiangwen's family. Now that Chen Chen said that again, she had nothing to say, "You just have to know what's in your heart."

"There are a lot of them." Chen Chen said: "The Chen family belongs to all of us, not me alone. If everyone has no opinion, then of course I have no opinion. It's a win-win thing anyway, there's nothing we can't do."

When the original body was still there, the two families moved around more frequently. Although Chen Chen came over later, although he didn't deal with them too much, Chen Xiangwen came to persuade them when they wanted to plant peppers in the field out of season. From Chen Xiangwen's point of view, it was indeed for their own good, so Chen Chen was not a person who didn't know what to do, not to mention that when delivering the batch of Baixu's goods, a few brothers came over from the grandfather's side that morning to help carry them. Chen Chen could see it all.

Since they are getting along with real relatives, there is nothing wrong with giving them a hand within their ability.

Of course, it's not just Chen Xiangwen's family...

"Xiaochen, what you guessed before you went to the provincial capital really happened. Basically every family in the village came to inquire about it." Chen Xiangwu said, "According to what you said before, I didn't respond to anything."

After the whole family came back from shopping in the county, Chen Chen knew that they were a little ostentatious, so they might attract the attention of everyone in the village.Of course, Chen Chen didn't plan to avoid it at first, and he even hoped that this matter would make the whole village pay attention to it, and then everyone would grow chili peppers.

If everyone is willing.

If he doesn't want to, then there's nothing wrong with him bringing his own family to plant his own land.

Anyway, the bait has already been given out, it depends on whether everyone takes the bait or not.

At this time, after hearing what Chen Xiangwu said, Chen Chen said: "Grandpa, then when they ask again, you can tell about the pepper planting, and see if everyone is willing to follow along."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Li reacted the most, "Xiaochen, you can't ask the whole village to follow us, can you?"

Chen Chen nodded, "Yes."

Mrs. Li gasped, and the eyes of other people around her also changed.

Chen Jianjun raised his voice, "Can we eat so many peppers?!"

Chen Jiandang also said: "That's right, Xiaochen, this time I'm standing with your second uncle. There are so many places in the village. If we grow all the peppers, then we may not be able to sell them."

If it cannot be sold now, it may not be so in the future.

But Chen Chen didn't say that, but said: "This time I didn't say how much I will accept from the village."

Chen Jiandang calmed down, "Then what do you mean?"

Chen Chen explained: "Grandpa is a grandpa after all, he is from the same line as us, the relationship between our two families must be much closer than other people in the village, that's why I told my grandpa that I will accept as much as they plant. How much, but for other families in the village...every family can tentatively reserve one mu of land at most."

As soon as Chen Chen said this, no one present could blame him for "treating them differently", on the contrary, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If all the peppers in the village were harvested, they really couldn't bear it!

Who can bear such a big stall!

Mrs. Li still hesitated, "Isn't this one mu of land for each family too much?"

There are more than a hundred households in the village, even if there are a hundred mu of land, when the time comes...

Li Shi didn't dare to think about it.

Chen Ming said instead: "Xiaochen said that each family has a maximum of one acre, but I think each family may not be willing to take out an acre of land to grow peppers."

Li was stunned.

Others also looked sideways.

Chen Mingdao: "We are discussing this matter now, but in fact, it is really necessary to turn over the spring to grow peppers. The few days of pepper planting are not as free as they are now, and all the land should be planted. If some people don't believe us , then they might prefer to order more corn and sweet potatoes."

Wang Guizhi frowned, "We didn't hide from the villagers. They saw it and didn't believe us?"

Wang Guizhi couldn't understand this brain circuit.

Chen Ming explained, "Mom, we have planted more than 30 mu of land by ourselves, and it is estimated that grandpa will also plant a few mu of land. As far as our family is concerned, we have planted nearly [-] mu of land. How much can we harvest from these [-] mu? What's more, not only our two families, but also the village head and other people surnamed Chen, how many catties do these add up to? Will those not surnamed Chen think that if we really can't buy it by then? If there are too many peppers, they will buy the peppers surnamed Chen first? At that time, their peppers will not be sold, so some people may not dare to plant an acre."

Wang Guizhi was speechless for a moment.

Even if they belong to the same village, the relationship between people with the same surname is indeed much better, and there are many things that benefit people of the same surname.For example, the village head, everyone ate together in the big pot before. Although the village head was fairly fair in major matters and did not treat them clearly and clearly, but in some small matters, they still followed their surname Yang... The rules are things that everyone knows well, and everyone is used to it. After all, people with this surname do the same, so everyone treats some small things as ignorant.

Now that Chen Ming points out this mentality, it is really very possible.

Chen Xiangwu glanced at Chen Ming appreciatively, and then said: "Xiao Ming is right. There are many people who have come to see me these two days, but the one with the surname Chen is the most active one. People with other surnames probably think that we are not willing to give up. Give them such a big benefit."

Chen Chen:"……"

For this reason, Chen Chen also did not think of it.

In fact, according to Chen Chen's own thinking, he can eat three or four mu of each family next year, but it seems too scary to mention it like that, and it is not easy to win people's trust, so he decided to slow down and only say one mu. .

But I never expected that even if it is an acre of land, there are so many twists and turns in it.

It made him extremely uncomfortable as a later population.
