selling chili peppers in chronology

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

After touching most of the snails in the bamboo basket and filling up the small bamboo basket hanging on Du Xingwei's waist, Du Xingwei still hadn't figured out a definite answer. Of course, after he hesitated, he didn't ask.

Instead, he talked about another thing, "The two cans of bad peppers you gave me last time were seen by a friend of mine when I went to Changzhou. He was very interested in bad peppers."

Chen Chen reacted, "Want to buy?"

"He said it was delicious." Du Xingwei said, "Tell me to ask if you would like to talk to him."

Chen Chen said: "Someone wants to do business with me, so why wouldn't I? But what exactly does he do? How much bad pepper can he buy me?"

Du Xingwei didn't hide anything, "His family's ancestors opened restaurants. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the restaurant could not continue to open, so it closed. Now that the policy is relaxed, I just want to open the restaurant again."

Chen Chen understood.

His friend wanted to open a restaurant, but he was probably still in the preparation stage, and then he found that the bad pepper tasted good, but it could be used as a seasoning for dishes or something, so he wanted to buy a batch, so he asked Du Xingwei to help inquire.

Chen Chen remembered another thing, "Why didn't you ask me before?"

Du Xingwei said: "You said that you don't grow many chili peppers now, and after supplying them to Yongxing County, you want to sell them to the provincial capital first, so I plan to refuse him."

Chen Chen: "Why are you asking again now?"

Du Xingwei didn't answer.

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "There must be a reason for changing your mind, right? Otherwise, I'll think you're lying to me."

Du Xingwei pursed his lips, and finally opened his mouth, "Whether it is to sell to Yongxing County or the provincial capital, it is a troublesome thing to have to run. Since someone wants to buy it, it is easier than shouting and selling everywhere."

Although Chen Chen understood his indescribable thoughts, he didn't think too much about it. After all, what Du Xingwei explained was the truth.

So, Chen Chen said: "Then thank you."

Du Xingwei raised his eyebrows slightly, "You agreed?"

"Promise." Chen Chen said: "As you said, it would be troublesome to sell in the county. If there is a stable market, it would be great."

Du Xingwei said: "Then you see when you have time, you can meet and talk."

"At least wait until these batches of bad peppers are ready." Chen Chen asked again: "Where is the other person?"

Du Xingwei: "Long Province."

Chen Chen: "I'll go there?"

Du Xingwei thought for a while and said, "Next month, he will come to the provincial capital to do business. It's best to meet him directly in the provincial capital."

Chen Chen counted the time, next month is absolutely fine, "then go to the provincial capital."

Du Xingwei said: "Yes."

Du Xingwei's friend wanted to discuss business with him, so Du Xingwei must go with him, otherwise no one would know anyone, and there would be no way to discuss business.

In other words, a business trip together next month?

Chen Chen thought to himself and smiled.

After talking about the business, Chen Chen looked at the half of the snails in the bamboo basket, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't eat this tonight, so he had to get something else.But the bamboo basket he used to net fish and shrimp is currently occupied, and he can't touch the fish with his bare hands.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask for help, "Du Xingwei, can you catch fish?"

Du Xingwei understood as soon as he heard it, "Go ahead, I'll catch it for you."

They touched the snails here for a long time, and the fish and shrimps in the river were frightened and swam away, and they had to go farther to find fish.

Du Xingwei took down the small bamboo basket hanging from his waist, fearing that the snails inside would spill out when he caught fish.

There are no fields around here, and the river section is long, so the fishing positions are different, so few people can hit them, and those snails are placed here, and they are not afraid of being taken away.

Chen Chen followed Du Xingwei in peace.

Du Xingwei took off his shoes again, rolled up his trousers, and dipped his feet into the river. After making some observations, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and quickly struck at the spot. His movements were as fast as a ray of light. There is a fish about four catties that is still wagging its tail wildly.

This agility and quickness stunned Chen Chen, who was completely incapable of catching fish.

Du Xingwei threw the fish ashore, and the fish left the water, still jumping vigorously.

Soon, Du Xingwei caught the second fish, which was more than four catties, and was thrown directly beside the first fish, and the two fish continued to jump neatly.

Chen Chen recovered from his astonishment, then quickly ran to a palm tree, and tore off a few palm leaves.Divide it into small parts, and twist it again. This is a natural and easy-to-use rope.

Chen Chen used palm ropes to string up the fish that couldn't jump due to lack of water, so that it was convenient to hold in his hands.

Du Xingwei caught five fish in a row, and Chen Chen hurriedly stopped him.

"Du Xingwei, enough is enough, don't catch me."

Du Xingwei said: "Put it in a bucket if you can't finish it, and you won't die in a day or two."

"It's enough to eat tomorrow." Chen Chen said, "The fish you caught are quite big, two of them can make a big pot."

Du Xingwei grabbed another one, and after hearing what Chen Chen said, he didn't continue, went ashore, put on his shoes and walked over.

Chen Chen skewered the fish with palm leaves, "There are only carp and grass carp, you choose."

Du Xingwei chose a carp weighing about three catties without hesitation, which was the smallest of the six fish.

Chen Chen said: "It's too young, you can choose two more."

"No need." Du Xingwei said, "I can't finish eating that much."

Chen Chen thought so too.

Du Xingwei lived alone, even if he didn't add other dishes, he probably wouldn't be able to finish the three catties of fish alone.

"Not eating tomorrow?"

"This fish is enough for tomorrow."

Chen Chen had a complicated expression, "You have such a small appetite?"

"..." Du Xingwei choked, "I want to make another piece to eat. Even if I finish eating, I can grab another piece if I want to eat."

"..."

Now it was Chen Chen's turn to be choked.

Although he used to cook at least two dishes when he opened a farmhouse to eat alone, but it was because he opened a farmhouse, and the pots and stoves were very convenient.

In the end, did Du Xingwei enjoy life like this?

Chen Chen thought about the fruit trees transplanted by Du Xingwei in the yard, the paved gravel road, and the skill of stewing pheasant, etc., and suddenly felt that cooking more than two dishes by one person was not so awkward.

Chen Chen also simply said, "Since you have said so, then I will take all the remaining fish back."

Du Xingwei said: "Yes."

Chen Chen hung the palm rope that stringed the fish on his wrist, and then hugged the bamboo basket with both hands, so that he could take everything back together, but his wrist couldn't stand it.

Chen Chen felt pain in his wrist after walking a few steps.

It's true, who can bear the burden of more than 20 catties of fish?

Du Xingwei looked at Chen Chen's frowning appearance, and finally stopped him, "I'll get it for you."

Chen Chen glanced at him, then put down the bamboo basket unceremoniously, took the fish out and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to pickled cabbage fish tonight."

Du Xingwei habitually refused, "No need."

"It must be used." Chen Chen said: "You caught the fish, and you helped me send it to my house. You also helped me touch so many snails. It is necessary to treat you to a meal of pickled fish."

Du Xingwei wanted to say something else, but Chen Chen said again: "I'm good at making pickled fish, so it's definitely not bad."

What he said, it seemed that Du Xingwei's refusal was because he disliked the pickled fish he cooked.

But Du Xingwei didn't do what Chen Chen wanted in the end.

"That's not what it means." Du Xingwei said: "Whether it's braised pork or bad chili is delicious, I believe pickled fish will be delicious too. My refusal is just my personal problem and has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Chen Chen stopped walking forward, "Really?"

Du Xingwei said: "No."

Chen Chen nodded lightly, "Then next time."

Du Xingwei's explanation was ambiguous, but his words were indeed thoughtful. Although Chen Chen's proposal was refuted, although he felt a little bit of regret in his heart, he was not angry, and he didn't show it on his face.

But Du Xingwei saw that his interest was not as high as before, so he replied: "Yes."

Chen Chen looked at him in surprise.

Du Xingwei acted as if nothing had happened.

Chen Chen smiled.

The three brothers of the Chen family lived not far away. When they reached the boss's side, Chen Chen walked in directly, "I'll eat here today, just leave the food here."

Du Xingwei nodded and followed in.

Today's chili is almost ready, the young daughters-in-law and girls went to the small pool to clean their belongings, and the young adults who had been working at home for a day didn't force them to work anymore, so they frantically ran to the village to play Now, only Wang Guizhi, Feng Zhaodi and Liu Dongxue are cleaning at home.

Several people were shocked when they saw Du Xingwei and Chen Chen come in together, and then hurriedly asked him to enter the room, and went to pour water, Du Xingwei told them not to worry, he was not thirsty.

Chen Chen put down the snail in the bamboo basket, and asked, "Auntie, do you have any empty barrels? Put the fish in."

Wang Guizhi put down the broom, "Du Juan and the others went to wash and haven't come back yet. I'll go into the house and get a basin and finish it off."

Chen Chen said: "Alright."

Liu Dongxue went to the kitchen to pour water, Wang Guizhi saw it and went to get some sugar, which turned into sugar water.

"Du Xingwei is the one who saved Xiaochen, how can he not pass a bowl of sugar water when he comes home."

Liu Dongxue responded with a smile, "I'll bring it over."

Wang Guizhi hurriedly said, "I'll go find a basin."

The basin was found, and the five fish were not too small, they could almost be stacked two by two in it, Wang Guizhi added two more ladles of water, Chen Chen watched from the side, "Aren't they dead?"

Wang Guizhi stretched out his hand and fiddled with it, "It seems to be dead."

"Probably not." Du Xingwei said: "When they are soaked in water, they will come back to life, and they will faint due to lack of water."

"Then let's do that first." Chen Chen said: "Anyway, I'll kill them and eat them in a while. There are many people at night, so I can eat them."

Hearing this, Wang Guizhi didn't care, "Then I don't care."

"Row"

Wang Guizhi was busy cleaning up, and Du Xingwei was also busy going back. After drinking the sugar water and putting down the bowl, he was about to leave, "I'll go back first, this fish will really die if it doesn't enter the water."

He had just been rejected, and the house was in chaos, so Chen Chen didn't keep him anymore, "Thank you for the fish you helped catch."

Du Xingwei: "They're all from the village."

After Du Xingwei left, Chen Chen asked, "Grandpa and the others haven't come back yet?"

Liu Dongxue said, "I went to the river."

Chen Chen frowned: "The weather is turning cold now, why do you still go to take a bath in the river?"

Feng Zhaodi interjected: "Others are not afraid, they are afraid that your grandpa will not be able to wash in cold water when he is old, but he didn't listen to persuasion, so he took his clothes and went."

Everyone has gone, it is impossible for Chen Chen to call people back now, turn around and walk towards the kitchen, "I'll cook, everyone must be hungry after a hard day."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guizhi said, "Everything is stored in the cupboard, Xiaochen, what do you need to use to get it yourself?"

Chen Chen comprehended.
