selling chili peppers in chronology

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

When Chen Chen and Chen Qian returned to the village, Chen Ming had already returned, and all the vegetable oil and spices they bought had been put away.

Chen Chen told everyone about buying a house, everyone was shocked at first, and heard that it was Chen Qian who inquired about it first, and then turned to look at Chen Qian in surprise, each and every one of them showed a little bit of surprise in their eyes.

Chen Qian immediately became dissatisfied, "No, do you think I can't do such a thing?"

Wang Guizhi immediately said: "How can it be possible? Xiao Qian has always been smart, so he can definitely make it happen."

"That's not it." Li Shi also said: "You used to like to go to the county. I heard that you know a lot of people in the county. It's not surprising that you know a lot of news. Now you can finally use it to help your family. gone."

Feng Zhaodi said with a smile all over her face: "After all, it is of some use."

Chen Jianjun didn't speak, but he should be satisfied just by looking at the expression on his face.

Coupled with other people's compliments, Chen Qian felt comfortable, "It's good to know the county well, and you can't be blind anywhere."

This was unanimously agreed.

After he had finished praising Chen Qian, he started talking about the business. Chen Xiangwu asked first, "Xiaochen, is the shop open now?"

"Wait and see." Chen Chen is not very anxious about this matter at the moment, "Anyway, they still have to buy another house. If it goes well, they will not be able to move out until next month, so we are the first to get the house It will be next month too. And I have seen the layout of the house, if we open a shop, we will have to renovate it, so don’t worry about it.”

Chen Jiandang was taken aback when he heard that, "Do you want to rebuild it?"

Chen Chen shook his head and explained: "It's not considered a renovation, it's just that the current house is built according to the pattern of people's living, and there are a lot of small rooms inside. It feels a bit small if it's just used as a shop. , so it is best to break through a few walls, and then redecorate it, so that it can be opened."

Chen Jiandang thought about the spaciousness of the department store. Although their chili shop was not as good as other department stores, he didn't think it was too bad, so he understood.

But Mrs. Li asked: "Isn't there still [-] cans of bad peppers in the bad pepper contract signed with Du Xingwei? Now there are not many ready-made peppers in the house, and they have not been sold, right? And I listened to you before You have to ask Du Xingwei about the soy bean pepper, are you not going to ask now?"

"I want to ask." Chen Chen said with a smile: "But the question is the question, don't you always want to go to the county to sell peppers by yourself? If you have such an opportunity, you will buy the shop first, and then you will stay in the county It’s good to have a foot.”

Mrs. Li nodded, "That's true. If you can't catch the bus back to the village, you can still sleep in the county for a night. It's much cheaper than going to a guest house."

If you buy a house with money, it will be yours from then on, but if you pay for a night in a guest house, the house is not yours.What's more, if it's something that was agreed a long time ago, there's nothing you can't buy.

Everyone said a few words about the house, and then they talked about going shopping in the county today, and it was inevitable that they would talk about black beans and peppers.

Wang Guizhi said: "I bought a lot of spices today. I guess the dried chilies are enough, but the oil is obviously not enough."

Feng Zhaodi said: "Then we can only watch and make it first. If there is still not enough dried chili, we will wait for the department store to buy new vegetable oil before buying and making it."

Chen Jin said: "I'm not afraid, dried chili noodles, tempeh and spices can be put in, and I'm not afraid of being spoiled."

When you think about it, it really is.

Didn't the idea of ​​choosing to dry the fresh peppers in the first place was a good way to preserve them.

In this way, Mrs. Li made a decision, "After that, everyone should hurry up to make the black bean pepper, otherwise, when the winter wheat is harvested later, they will be busy in the fields, and there will be no time to prepare the peppers. I can pick it up."

Everyone was about to respond, but Chen Chen interrupted, "Wait."

Everyone was a little nervous, "What's wrong?"

Chen Chen said what he had been thinking about for a long time, "I plan to go to the provincial capital."

"Provincial capital?" Everyone was stunned, "Now?"

Chen Chen nodded, "Just these two days."

Mrs. Li asked blankly, "What are you going to do?"

They haven't made the chili yet, so there is no chili to go to the provincial capital to sell!

Chen Chen said two words, "Buy oil."

Everyone said "Ah" in unison, and they were completely dazed.

Chen Xiangwu sat up straight, "Buy oil?"

Chen Chen hummed, and explained: "After the spring peppers are harvested, we will only have more dried peppers. At that time, no matter whether it is made into black bean peppers or meat peppers, we will need vegetable oil, and everyone knows that Yongxing County does It’s a little small, and only department stores in the county sell vegetable oil, not to mention the high price, and the supply is not much, so I thought about going directly to the provincial capital to see if I could find an oil mill in the provincial capital, and then Get the goods directly from the factory."

Not to mention other people, even Chen Xiangwu was shocked.

Sign an order with the oil mill?

And it's an oil mill in the provincial capital? !

Chen Xiangwu couldn't help asking: "Can they sell it?"

"Why don't you sell it?" Chen Chen said calmly: "Since the economic recovery, the business of state-owned factories has not been as easy as before. We go to them at this time to relieve the pressure in their factories. And what does the provincial capital say?" It is also the largest city in Fenghuang Province, and there must be more factories than the county, maybe there will be more than one oil extraction factory in the provincial capital, if one factory fails, then change to another one, you have to try first.”

"It's too risky." Chen Jianjun said, "It's a long way from the provincial capital to our village. Even if the people in the factory are willing to sell oil to us, how can we bring it back?"

Chen Chen said: "If we found a cooperative oil factory, then we must buy a lot of oil at a time. In this case, the oil factory should deliver the goods. If not, then go to Du Xingwei for help. Anyway He's also in that business."

Everyone barely understood, but they were a little worried. Mrs. Li was worried, "How much is the delivery fee for Du Xingwei to deliver from the provincial capital? Today, the people in the department store deliver the goods for free. We You have to give Du Xingwei money, right?"

"It must be paid for." Chen Chen explained in more detail, "But department stores must also make money selling things, so the price sold to us ordinary people must be higher than their cost, and the cost is part of the cost. Including the money they paid when they bought the oil at the oil mill, and the freight they spent on the road, and a series of money..."

Because the Chen family has little involvement in this part, Chen Chen explained very carefully, "So even if we really have to pay for the shipping fee, as long as the shipping fee and the cost of buying oil at the oil mill are added together, it is more cost-effective than buying at a department store." , then we will make money.”

Everyone carefully digested what Chen Chen said, and slowly turned the corner. Chen Cong scratched his head and said, "There are so many twists and turns."

"Doing business is inherently full of twists and turns." Chen Chen said, "However, I do this to save costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, I also want to find a reliable seller to cooperate with. As long as the oil mill does not fail, Then we don’t have to worry about not having enough oil, and we don’t have to worry about delaying the production of chili because of the oil.”

"That's true." Chen Ming said: "This time the oil is very restricted for us. If it weren't for the fact that there are not so many dried chilies at home, I'm afraid there will be even more oil shortage."

Chen Qian murmured, "At first we thought that fourth brother, you would go to a department store in another county to buy oil, but we didn't expect you to go directly to an oil mill to buy oil."

Chen Chen said as a matter of course: "The oil sold in the department store is also obtained from other people's oil mills, so why don't ours be more straightforward?"

Chen Qian could not refute, "... makes sense."

After explaining so much, Chen Xiangwu understood, and he only asked, "Are you going alone?"

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Let me see if Du Xingwei is free."

Mrs. Li hesitated and said, "Isn't it good to bother people all the time?"

Chen Chen was still thinking of an excuse, but Chen Qian said first, "Why don't I go with my fourth brother."

Others who were not as quick-spoken as Chen Qian were also crazy, and immediately started to recommend themselves.

Provincial capital, who doesn't want to go and see? !

Seeing this chaotic scene, Chen Chen immediately said: "..."

"Shut up!" the old man Chen Xiangwu suddenly shouted, "It's business, what does it look like to be so noisy? Have you ever been to the provincial capital?!"

Everyone shouted in their hearts: I want to go because I have never been there!

How else can we say that Chen Qian reacted quickly on this kind of matter? When others were still murmuring in their hearts, Chen Qian had already spoken out the truth, "Although I have never been there before, I can remember the way. There is a place that I walked through once, and next time I will definitely step on it in place with one foot, and I guarantee that I can’t go wrong.”

Chen Ming's reason was more grandiose, "Grandpa, it's because we are not familiar with the provincial capital that we need a few more people to go with Xiaochen, so that even if there is a little accident, we can help."

Chen Fen's eyes lit up and she said, "That's right, what Brother Ming said makes sense, because we are not very familiar with the provincial capital, so we need to go to a few more people."

Chen Jindao: "It's fine for you, a girl, it's better for us old men to go."

Chen Fen was dissatisfied, "Why am I not suitable? I'm going by car, and I don't want you to carry it."

"..."

"Okay." Li said dissatisfied: "One or two want to go, I think you don't want to work!"

Everyone: Injustice!Injustice in capital letters!It has nothing to do with this, okay? !

Chen Xiangwu also glanced at the group of people who were still about to make a move, and warned: "If anyone keeps fighting and grabbing, then you all don't want to go!"

Chen Xiangwu always kept his promise when he spoke, and everyone immediately became honest.

Chen Chen also sighed in his heart, and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "You can understand that everyone wants to go to the provincial capital to see it. After all, it is the provincial capital. If you haven't been there, you must want to see it."

Chen Fen muttered, "Isn't that right, the provincial capital is a better place than the county, if I can go there once, I'll wake up from my dreams."

Chen Chen laughed, "There will be a chance, there will be a long time in the future, so where will it go?"

Who wants to wait until the next day if they can go one day earlier!

It's a pity that Chen Fen found her grandfather smiling at her, and didn't dare to say what was in her heart.

Seeing that he was being honest, Chen Xiangwu asked Chen Chen, "Xiao Chen, what are your plans?"

Chen Chen said seriously: "I originally wanted to ask Du Xingwei if he had time. After all, he is familiar with the provincial capital, and he must know some factories in the provincial capital. He may even have some friendship with the people in the factory. Acquaintances are easy to handle, if he really knows someone, it will save a lot of effort."

Of course Chen Xiangwu agreed with this point of view, and just asked: "Then what do you think now?"

Chen Chen smiled and said: "Now I suddenly remembered that we bought all the things for making fermented soy bean peppers. Although there is not enough oil to make all the dried chilies, we can probably make a small half of them. If Du Xingwei wants this If he approves black bean chili, then he must arrange his own affairs, so I thought I'd better ask Du Xingwei for his opinion first."

"That's how it should be." Chen Xiangwu nodded and said, "Although we have a good relationship with him, we can't bother him too often. My own family has to ask first, not to mention that his surname is not Chen."

Chen Chen responded kindly, "Then I'll go ask him first, and see if he wants this soy bean chili by the way, and we can make arrangements for the future."

Chen Xiangwu agreed, "This will work."
