selling chili peppers in chronology

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

The most important thing for the Chen family in the next few days was the marriage of Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue.

Although they were all second marriages, they didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't even want guests except family members, but they were married anyway, and the two families needed to be busy when they sat down and had a meal together.

Of course, the rest of the Chen family had to help with these matters, and it seemed that there were not many who fell on the two juniors, Chen Chen and Chen Bei, but Chen Chen couldn't stop himself from having something to do.

He called Chen Bei, the porter, and together they went into the county to buy a lot of things.

Chen Bei has just graduated from elementary school this year, and he studied in the next village. He has never been to the town a few times, let alone the county. It is his first time to go, even though he has tried his best. It's under control, but Chen Chen can see his nervousness and excitement.

From the moment he got on the bus, he stared out the window without blinking.

I don't know if he was overexcited or he was born to ride a car. In short, no matter how bumpy the roller coaster is on this bus, Chen Bei is like a normal person. He even thinks it's fun. Speechless, fortunately there are plums specially reserved yesterday for him to suppress the nausea in his mouth.

After finally bumping into the county, Chen Bei became nervous after getting off the car. The specific manifestation was that he followed Chen Chen closely, holding the hem of his clothes with his hands, curling his fingers a little, as if he was afraid of getting lost.

Chen Chen relieved his stress and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Chen Bei shook his head, "Brother, I'm not hungry yet."

There is no habit of eating breakfast at home, not to mention eating very full last night, and it is very early now, so he is not particularly hungry.

"Then buy two buns." Chen Chen led him to the direction where he bought the buns yesterday.

As soon as Chen Bei heard the buns, he remembered yesterday's delicious meat buns, and his mouth began to salivate.

"Brother, forget it, let's save money."

"It's okay, earn it after you use it."

Chen Chen has a good habit of eating three meals a day. He doesn't feel comfortable skipping breakfast. Of course, the most important thing is that he's a little hungry now, but he just got off the bus and doesn't feel well, so the vegetarian buns he bought for himself are for Chen Bei. The meat buns cost a total of twenty-three cents.

Although Chen Bei was greedy for meat, he still said, "Brother, I'm a vegetarian."

Chen Chen directly stuffed the meat to him, "I was a little uncomfortable in the car just now, I don't want to eat meat, you should eat it quickly, it won't be so delicious after a while."

Chen Bei couldn't argue, and ate the big meat bun happily.

Chen Chen felt that this vegetarian steamed stuffed bun was not bad either. The stuffing inside was green vegetable vermicelli, with meat oil added. Although there was no meat, it was definitely not bad. One could imagine how honest people are in business nowadays.

After eating the buns, Chen Chen was not in a hurry to go shopping, but took Chen Bei to visit Yongxing County. For Chen Chen, a person who is used to the metropolis and the new countryside, a small county far away from the capital is actually like that , but to Chen Bei, a native rural kid, he was always curious about everything, and it seemed that even his nervousness and a little bit of fear had been forgotten.

There are so many tube buildings here, and they are still built with cement, which is completely different from the ones in the village.

The clothes everyone wears are so beautiful, and some colors are just like flowers.

There are a lot of food for sale, and the taste is also delicious. I don’t know if the people living next to me can bear to smell such delicious things every day, or if they have the money to buy them every day.

Ah, there are still people riding bicycles. The only branch secretary in his village has one at home, but it’s a treasure, and he doesn’t let others touch it at all. But now he has seen more than a dozen bicycles passing by, and the people sitting on them are different.

……

While Chen Bei was dazzled, Chen Chen was also understanding the surroundings and looking for targets.

He came to the county today firstly for shopping, and secondly for...

Well, shopping too.

It's just that the things you buy are a little special.

Chen Chen looked at the glass factory in front of him and thought: I found it.

This glass factory is the only glass factory in Yongxing County. The small glass parts in the county are basically produced in this factory. Among them, the most sold are salt water bottles and beer bottles, especially beer bottles, which are the most sold in the factory. champion.

Because there is a brewery in the prefecture, beer sales are good.

Residents who want to buy some glass products usually go to the department store, because the glass factory and the department store also have a cooperative relationship, unless it is a large-scale business or a special order, they will come to the glass factory.

Chen Chen explained why he came, and then Liao Jing from the sales department received him.

Liao Jing asked with a smile: "I heard that you want to buy some jars, what kind of jars are they?"

Chen Chen asked: "What kind of products are there in the factory?"

Liao Jing led him to the sample room, "All the samples from our factory are here, you can take a look."

"it is good."

Because of the spring breeze of reform, other well-developed local products are constantly pouring into the big market. The state-owned factories in Yongxing County are now more or less affected, especially the glass factory, which cannot produce some due to insufficient technology. High-spec things have always taken the low-end route.

Now that the market has been impacted, the business of the affected factories is not very good.

The factory has issued targets for each department, and the sales department bears the brunt of the pressure.

Because of this, the employees of the state-owned factory, who have always been quite proud, are not as arrogant as before. They not only smile and chat, but also introduce products with more sincerity and heart.

Chen Chen cooperated well, and asked what he wanted to know from time to time.

Chen Bei followed Chen Chen, feeling very dazed for a while, when did his brother become so confident?He is not even afraid of talking to people in the state-owned factory, and he doesn't seem nervous at all.

Chen Bei was careful. After comparison, he felt that his brother had really changed.

Is it because my father changed completely after he remarried and figured it out?

Chen Bei was at a loss.

When Chen Bei couldn't figure it out, Chen Chen had already selected the glass jar he wanted. It was a belly-shaped jar with a radius of three centimeters and a height of nine centimeters.

According to Liao Jing, these jars are used for canning, but there is no canning factory in Yongxing County, so their factory does not produce much. Of course, if Chen Chen wants more, he can start to make it again.

Chen Chen asked: "How did you sell it?"

Liao Jing always smiled, "I don't know how much you want to buy? Different quantities have different prices."

Chen Chen asked, "How many are there in your factory?"

As a salesperson, Liao Jing knows the quantity of products in the factory, "thousands."

Chen Chen thought for a moment, then said: "I want three hundred, how can I sell them?"

That's one-third of the amount.

Liao Jing offered: "Five points."

"It's too expensive." Chen Chen shook his head directly, "The department store sells them for seven cents each, but I come to your factory to get them for five cents."

Liao Jing asked as usual: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

Chen Chen: "Three points."

Liao Jing shook her head: "I can't afford this price."

The business was negotiated, and Chen Chen didn't expect that he would agree to the offer the first time.

The two started a tug-of-war, and finally settled for one quarter.

Three hundred, that is 12 yuan.

Chen Chen asked: "Is it free?"

Liao Jing said: "The county will send it to you."

The implication is that towns and villages do not include delivery.

Chen Chen was already mentally prepared, and after feeling a little regretful, he could only say: "Then please help me pack it up, because I'm going back to the village by bus, and the road is not very good, I'm afraid it will be broken."

Liao Jing, who negotiated a business deal, was very happy, "Don't worry, I will wrap it up for you."

Although the glass jars are not big, three hundred of them are definitely a lot, and there are several large boxes.

Chen Chen felt a little worried when he saw the packaged things, but in the end he had no choice but to ask the people from the glass factory to help deliver them to the bus station, otherwise he and Chen Bei alone would have to go back and forth several times.

The glass factory readily agreed to this request.

After everything was delivered, the bus to the village hadn't arrived yet, but because there were so many things, Chen Chen was worried. Chen Bei was watching here alone. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to come to the county again tomorrow, so he would put these glass jars away today. Take it home.

Chen Bei, who has been holding back all the way from the glass factory until now, asked in puzzlement, "Brother, why are you buying so many jars?"

Chen Chen replied: "Put the chili on."

Chen Bei was stunned, "Chili?"

Chen Chen explained: "Didn't I say before that if I want to sell peppers, there must be jars."

Chen Bei was stunned for a moment before he realized that what his brother said earlier about selling chili was not selling fresh chili, but...

"Sell the bad chili you made before?"

"Correct."

Chen Bei was worried, "Will anyone buy it?"

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you think no one will buy it?"

"I don't know." Chen Bei said, "I see that there are many people selling food in the county. Meat, noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, rice, and meat are everywhere. It’s fragrant, and I don’t see anyone who specializes in selling ready-made peppers.”

Chen Chen said, "I've already made the peppers, wouldn't it be easier for them to buy them and eat them directly?"

Chen Bei murmured: "Then what if people don't like the taste of cooking?"

"It's hard to get everyone to agree." Chen Chen said, "Besides, I have confidence in the peppers I make, and there must be a majority of people who like them."

"It's true." Chen Bei suddenly felt that he shouldn't be so unconfident, "Brother, your cooking is better than before, and the chili oil you made last time is also very fragrant, so the bad chili is definitely not bad."

And even if you can't sell it, you can eat it at home, but it's a pity that there are so many glass jars...

No, it will definitely sell!

Just when Chen Bei was thinking about when the bad chili would be sold, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Fourth Brother, Xiaobei?"

As soon as Chen Chen and Chen Bei turned their heads, they saw Chen Qian standing not far away.

Chen Qian came over, "Fourth brother, Xiaobei, it's really you, I thought I was wrong."

Chen Bei was surprised to see him, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qian, why did you come to the county?"

"I'm going to buy some cloth." Chen Qian looked at the several big boxes stacked together around him, and asked, "Did you buy these? What are they all about? Why are there so many?"

Chen Chen said: "I bought a glass jar."

Chen Qian was puzzled, "Glass jar?"

Chen Chen: "Buy it back and decorate it."

Chen Qian's informant has already inquired about what Chen Chen and Chen Xiangwu said yesterday from his uncle, and immediately realized that these things should be related to the so-called "leading the whole family to live a good life" .

He wanted to ask, but there were a few friends with him, so he didn't ask.

"Are you going back to the village now?"

"I originally planned to go back to the village now, but..." After a pause, Chen Chen asked, "Are you okay now? If you're okay, take a look at these things for me. I'll take Xiaobei to buy some things, and I have to go to the county tomorrow to save money." Come on."

Chen Qian agreed very readily, "You guys go, I'll help you watch."

"Okay." Chen Chen said, "Let's go back quickly."

"rest assured."
