selling chili peppers in chronology

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

This time, he made more than 50 catties of bad peppers, Chen Chen filled [-] cans, and kept the rest for his own food.

As soon as the bad peppers are put in, the feeling of the glass jar is instantly different. It looks like a product from a big factory, which is very high-end.

It was the first time for Chen Ming and Chen Qian to see bad peppers with labels. After looking at them for a long time, they couldn't bear to take their eyes away.

I was still thinking about it all the way to Yongxing County by bus.

After the bus stopped and got off the bus, I looked at Yongxing County, which was obviously not in the same style as the village, and then I felt at a loss.

Especially Chen Jianye, who came to sell bad chili for the first time, didn't know what to do.

Chen Ming asked calmly, "Shall we go to the place you went to last time?"

Chen Qian looked at Chen Chen, "It should be."

Chen Chen gave him an affirmative answer, "Just go there."

Let's go to the farm machinery factory.

Chen Jianye hadn't been to the county for almost half a year. The last time he came was when he was selling grain, he came with Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun, and the three companies worked together to sell grain.

That was the first time they sold grain in their lives, and they had no experience at all.

As soon as I came to the county, I tried every means to sell grain. After I found a purchase station and sold it to get money, I didn't dare to stay in the county.

So Chen Jianye was not particularly unfamiliar with Yongxing County, but he was not very familiar with it either.

Now that I still come to sell things, I can't help but feel even more disturbed.

With a nervous heart, Chen Jianye followed them to the destination.

There is no sound of hawking around, but there are many small stalls of various kinds. At a glance, they sell rice, steamed buns, noodles, fried cakes, and fried dough sticks. The feeling of where to set foot.

Chen Jianye subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Chen.

Just as Chen Chen was about to speak, Liang Shu shouted, "Brother Chen!"

Chen Chen said to them, "Let's go over there."

Approaching, Liang Shu said anxiously: "Brother Chen, you are here."

From this sentence, Chen Chen heard something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Liang set up his horse and said, "You don't know, a few days ago someone was also selling bad peppers!"

Chen Chen frowned slightly.

Chen Jianye, Chen Ming, Chen Qian, and the others looked ugly.

Someone is actually selling bad chili? !

"Xiaochen..." Chen Jianye panicked and wanted to ask Chen Chen what to do.

The family has planted more than 30 acres of chili peppers. If they can't sell them, how much will they have to pay?

Chen Jianye didn't dare to think deeply, but still panicked.

Chen Chen was also a little surprised. Although he had expected that there would be competing products, he did not expect that competing products would appear so soon.

It's the third time they've come to sell bad chili.

As a result, there is now a competitor.

Chen Chen asked for details, "Brother Liang, are the bad peppers they sell the same as the ones we sell?"

"It's not the same." Liang Shu still knew something about the situation, "The peppers they sell are not cut, but they taste sweet and sour. Although they don't taste as good as the bad peppers you sell, but they sell them cheaply and buy them. There are also quite a few people. Many people who ate at my place before and asked when you will come to sell bad peppers also bought from them, and I think they earn a lot."

Chen Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said after he realized: "I know what they are selling."

Several people said in unison, "What are you selling?"

After asking, Liang Shu and the members of the Chen family looked at each other, their eyes met inexplicably, and they were a little embarrassed.

Chen Chen said: "If I'm not wrong, what they sell should be sour peppers."

Chen Qian said quickly this time, "Sour pepper?"

Chen Chen hummed.

Sweet and sour peppers without cutting, isn't that similar to sour peppers?

It’s just that the sour peppers he had eaten before were all hot and sour, and the production method was similar to that of bad peppers, which also relied on the principle of fermentation, but did not add rice wine to sweeten them.

Now the peppers sold by this competitor are not called sour peppers, but bad peppers, which is obviously imitating their bad pepper business or borrowing the name of their bad peppers.

And because they have tasted the taste of bad chili, and then added a sweetness to it, but they don't know whether the sweetness is due to sugar or rice wine.

Chen Chen felt a little subtle in his heart.

But it's fine.

After all, no one is a fool. How could others not be tempted if his bad chili sold for one dollar a can?

After figuring it out, Chen Chen turned to look at a few people, and saw that Chen Jianye looked sad and at a loss, Chen Ming frowned and didn't know what to think, and Chen Qian was angry, probably wanting to scratch the business snatcher to death.

Seeing this, Chen Chen said: "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

Everyone turned their heads, isn't this a big deal? !Could it be that he was mad and talking nonsense? !

Liang Shu couldn't help but said: "Xiao Chen, this is not a trivial matter. They have come here to sell peppers every day these days, and they can sell a lot every time, and they earn a lot of money. They have robbed most of your business!"

"You also said it was big..." Half.

Before all these words fell, Liang Shu suddenly said, "They are here."

Chen Jianye and the three of them turned their heads quickly.

Seeing this, Chen Chen also silenced, and then followed Liang Shu's line of sight.

Not far away came two couples of men and women. I don’t know if they are brothers and sisters, husband and wife or something else. In short, some of the four of them carried bamboo baskets, some carried baskets, and even a man carried a square table on his shoulders. Just look at the posture. It doesn't look like they are here to sell peppers, but it looks more like they are moving.

Liang Shu also introduced, "It's just the four of them. The two brothers brought their respective wives to sell peppers. I've been in this business for half a year, and it's the first time I've seen so many people come here."

Chen Chen nodded to show that he understood, but he didn't say anything.

There is no other reason, because the four people on the opposite side also saw them, and they stopped in their tracks.

Two groups of people each carrying chili peppers met on this half-street road.

The gaze on the other side was guilty and proud, and also a little complacent and arrogant with "I'm not afraid of you".

The expression is also very rich.

When other stall owners saw the Shura field, they all poked their heads to watch the show.

Chen Qian was already rolling up his sleeves, and was still yelling, "Look at their guilty behavior, they are obviously trying to steal business from us on purpose."

Chen Ming quickly pressed Chen Qian, "Don't be impulsive, first listen to what Xiao Chen has to say."

Chen Jianye also said: "Xiaoqian, I heard that the county is very strict, please hold back your temper."

Chen Qian has been in the county all year round, so he still understands some of the rules in the county.He calmed down, turned to look at Chen Chen, and asked, "Fourth brother, what should we do?"

Chen Chen's answer was simple: "Put down the basket and sell bad peppers."

Chen Qian was confused, huh? "

Chen Jianye didn't know, so, "?"

The smile that always hangs on Chen Ming's face has long since dissipated, and now he couldn't help asking: "That's all?"

Chen Chen asked back: "Otherwise?"

Chen Ming opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Chen Qian said, "Of course I want to teach them a lesson!"

Chen Chen: "Fight?"

Before Chen Qian made a statement, Chen Jianye hastily stopped him, "You can't fight."

The three looked at him.

Chen Jianye explained: "The county is not like our own village. Everyone has known each other for generations, and they don't care about some small troubles. The village chief and the team leader don't care, but we are not familiar with the place in the county. If something happens, we will be punished. The police know that we will definitely not be able to fight against people in other counties, so don’t fight.”

After a pause, Chen Jianye said again: "No matter what the reason is, you can't put yourself in it."

Chen Jianye has never talked much, but this time, in order to persuade Chen Qian not to be violent, he actually talked a lot.

Chen Qian had indeed calmed down.

He has wandered around the county for so many years, isn't he just looking for an opportunity to make money?Now his fourth brother personally handed over the opportunity to him, and the money has not yet been earned, but he must not lose himself.

Chen Qiandao: "Third Uncle, I don't want to fight."

Chen Jianye breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Chen Mingdao: "In this case, then listen to Xiaochen, and let's start selling bad peppers."

"Row."

Chen Jianye and Chen Ming Chen Qian they put down the basket, and Chen Qian had experience, so he took out the newspapers that Chen Chen had spread before to lay the floor, and asked everyone to put out the bad peppers.

Liang Shu looked a little dumbfounded.

Mingming was angry in his heart, but he didn't fight in the end?

Liang Shu couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, is this the end?"

Chen Chen said with a smile: "Do I really want to fight with them?"

Liang Shu also wanted to ask "Otherwise", but he didn't get the words out of his mouth in the end, because he also knew that the county had strict rules and they were just ordinary people, and they didn't want to see the police at all.

Liang Shu finally choked out a sentence, "Harmony makes money."

Those two couples really thought that Chen Chen and the others were going to fight, they were all ready to fight, but after waiting for a long time, the other party put on the stand as if nothing had happened?

The four looked at each other, and the woman with the basket on her back couldn't help but ask, "What do they mean?"

The man with the basket on his back sneered, "I guess I'm scared."

The man carrying the square table said: "I had already planned it out. If they really dare to find fault, then I will smash the table over without breaking their arms! Unexpectedly, they didn't say anything."

The woman carrying the bamboo basket said disdainfully, "What a coward."

The four of them snorted together.

The woman carrying the bamboo basket said: "It's a shame that mom was worried that we would also sell bad chili and people would come to our door, but how could I have imagined it, even if we met them, I wouldn't dare to fart."

The man carrying the square table said: "Mom just loves to worry about things, it's not like you don't know."

The woman carrying the bamboo basket complained, "I was so frightened that I didn't sleep well for two nights, and now I see that it's really nothing to worry about."

The woman with the basket on her back saw that Chen Chen and the others had already put out all the bad peppers, and couldn't help reminding, "Let's not talk about it, it's the right thing to go over and set up the stall, otherwise the people who buy vegetables will miss the business when they come over later." .”

The man with the basket on his back immediately said: "Support the stalls, don't worry about them."

Saying this, the four of them walked into the street.

I don't know if it was intentional or what, when passing by Chen Chen's booth, the woman carrying the bamboo basket sneered disdainfully, her chin was especially high.

When Chen Qian saw it, he was a little angry, but he didn't do anything on the spot.

Chen Ming's eyes were also dark.

Chen Chen glanced at their figures, and seeing Chen's uneasy expression, he said: "It's normal to have competitors, and I'm afraid there will be no competitors."

Chen Qian asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Chen answered simply, "If there are no people who are jealous of the products we sell, it means that the products we sell are so bad that others don't even bother to imitate them."

Chen Qian: "..."

Chen Jianye was taken aback.

Chen Ming thought about it.

Chen Qian came to his senses and said, "It's like there was a seller of roasted sweet potatoes in the past. Usually, no one bought his things. When I came to the county after half a month, I never saw the seller of roasted sweet potatoes again. of."

Chen Ming sighed, "Every household grows sweet potatoes. In the past, most of the bowls in the brigade were either sweet potatoes or yams. It hurts me to eat them a long time ago. Who is willing to spend money to buy them?"

you do not say.

In the past, it was impossible to eat rice in a big pot, and it was all mixed with various grains.

There are a lot of sorghum and corn, especially yams and sweet potatoes.

Sorghum corn is basically ground into flour, and then mixed with wheat flour to spread cakes or make noodles, or a pot of pimple soup, in short, it is eaten as a staple food.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are eaten with rice instead of porridge, but stewed together.Rice is expensive, and the yield is not as good as the high-yield yams and sweet potatoes, so it is often two or three decimeters and seven or eight fen yams and sweet potatoes. You can’t see rice with dumplings in the bowl all day long, and most of the bowl is full of yams and sweet potatoes.

After eating for so many years, it must not hurt you.

It's fine at home, after all, it's grown by myself, and I have to live to fill my stomach, but after I come out...

Since you have to pay for it, why not buy buns, steamed buns, rice, noodles, fried dough sticks, etc.?

Perhaps there is such a case as a comparison, and the resentment in everyone's heart after being robbed of the business finally dissipated.

Chen Jianye was under a lot of pressure, and then worried that they would end up like the sweet potato seller.

What if you are really squeezed out and can't continue to do business?

He was worried, but looking at Chen Ming and Chen Qian who had regained their confidence, and Chen Chen who had always been calm, he didn't dare to express his worries.

Chen Chen noticed it, but it's useless to say more.

He swept his eyes around again, and saw that the two couples had already put things out.Their position is diagonally opposite, but their own side is backlit, which is relatively shady; while their side is more eye-catching, and the sun directly shines on it.

They put the square table on the ground, and placed two ten-jin pottery jars on it, which should contain peppers.The bamboo basket was placed on the far side, and covered with a layer of floral cloth. From the exposed part, it can be seen that it is a small name.

It's so hard to die, when Chen Chen glanced over, he met the woman carrying the bamboo basket from before, the woman's chin lifted, she really looked like a flower peacock.

Chen Chen frowned, ignored her, turned his eyes away and continued to look around.

Chen Chen found that this half of the snack street was longer than before, and the variety was much richer.

I was looking at what I needed at home, and I was going to ask the price later, and then I heard someone asking: "Hey, you are the one who sells that finely chopped chili pepper?"

When Chen Chen turned his head, Chen Qian had already served him, "Yes, it's us, we are the first to sell bad chili."

"Look at this glass jar, it looks like..."

The woman was talking, but the woman carrying the bamboo basket suddenly yelled loudly, "Bad peppers! Sweet and sour hot peppers! Eight cents a catty!"

The woman's voice was really loud, Chen Chen and the others could hear it clearly, and the woman's voice was interrupted.

The woman asked: "There are also bad chili sellers over there?"

Chen Qian was very upset, "That's what she said."

The woman turned her head curiously, and Chen Chen also turned her head to look at the woman. The woman smiled provocatively at Chen Chen, and shouted again: "The bad chili is sold! Eight cents a catty of bad chili is sold cheap! The bad pepper Eight hairs! Eight hairs!"

The woman emphasized again and again that they sold bad peppers, obviously wanting to fight a price war.

The woman was obviously moved by her shout of "eight cents", after all, how many steamed buns can be bought for two cents now.

But she didn't leave right away, Shi Shi first asked, "How much do you sell this bad chili?"

Chen Chen was still afraid that Chen Qian would be intimidated by other people's prices, and would hesitate in his heart whether they should also lower the price, but unexpectedly Chen Qian said straightforwardly: "One piece."

The woman was really not very happy, "He sells bad peppers for [-] cents, and you sell them for [-] piece. Why are you [-] cents more expensive than others?"

Chen Qian had many reasons, "Sister, I saw that you were not the one who bought bad peppers from us last time, so I don't know what's going on here. Like our bad peppers, we put a lot of them in when we made them." Those things are more expensive than the same, and the cost is very high, and our bad chili tastes good, and there are many ways to eat it, bibimbap, noodles and stir-fried vegetables can be cooked in any way, it is definitely worth buying!"

Chen Jianye was stunned by Chen Qian's remarks.

Chen Ming was stunned, he thought to himself: Not only was Xiao Qian not slippery when being beaten by his second uncle, but he was also able to talk nonsense when facing outsiders.

Chen Chen was surprised, because after teaching his grandma Li Shi, first aunt Wang Guizhi, and second aunt Feng Zhaodi how to make bad chili, everyone in the family except Chen Huaiqing and the others knew that there was no spice in bad chili. They are all bluffing outsiders.

It turned out that I didn't expect it, Chen Qian obviously already knew it, but he was still so blushing and heartbeating.

sure!

The woman was also stunned by Chen Qian's call, mainly listening to Chen Qian's meaning, their bad chili is still worth the money.

The woman came back to her senses and said: "But other people's houses only sell eight cents, so it's not good for you to sell the same thing for two prices."

"Hey, don't say that our bad peppers are the same as their broken peppers!" Chen Qian showed disgust on his face.

The woman was busy with work, and her mother was the one who came out to buy vegetables before, and she hadn't been here for a long time, so she really didn't know what happened to these two kinds of bad peppers.Seeing Chen Qian's expression now, he immediately smelled the smell of melon.

She asked with great interest, "What's going on here?"

Chen Qiandao: "Sister, I don't frame you, just go to the food sellers around here and find anyone to inquire about. Our bad chili was sold here a few months ago, and many people in the county were buying it at that time. Well, quite a few people haven’t bought it yet.”

The woman smiled and said: "So I was asking you earlier if you sell finely chopped bad peppers. I know what kind of bad peppers are from my sister. She bought a can from you before, and later He also told me a lot about your bad chili.”

Chen Ming strained his ears to listen, he wanted to know what his bad peppers looked like in the eyes of the people in the county.

Chen Jianye watched silently.

Chen Qian was not slow to react, "If you have heard everyone talking about it, then it must be about our family's bad pepper!"

The woman nodded, not forgetting to eat melons, "Then what's the matter with the bad peppers sold over there?"

Chen Qian was very upset and said: "We have been busy with other things during this time, and the bad peppers were not ready, so we didn't come to sell them, so I didn't know that there was another seller of bad peppers. Today we are carrying bad peppers. It was only when the peppers came that I heard people say that a second seller of bad peppers appeared here, and it only appeared a few days ago."

The woman suddenly realized that this was stealing business, no wonder this young man was unhappy.

The woman didn't make any comments on the matter, and continued to talk about the bad peppers after eating the melon, "Although you sell different peppers, they are all bad peppers, so it's not good to sell them at two prices, right?"

Chen Qian frowned, and Chen Chen took over the conversation when he saw this, "They all say first come first served, we started selling bad peppers two months ago, they only started selling them two days ago, and the things they sell are not exactly the same, so the prices are not the same. what is the relationship?"

The author has something to say:

I said in my speech before that I will update a chapter every day in July. The number of words in a chapter is the same as the previous two chapters, but judging from everyone’s feedback, it seems that you are not mentally prepared?So I will post it in two chapters today.By the way, would you like to have two chapters at six to nine at night or one chapter at nine o'clock as before?

ps: The number of words is the same, six on weekdays and ten thousand on weekends.
