selling chili peppers in chronology

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

The entire Chen family put down their work this evening, regardless of those who worked the fields, worked the fields, carried water, chopped firewood, fished, and cleaned the house, and flocked to the old family.

Today is the first day I go out to sell bad peppers, no matter what I say or not, but I really care about it in my heart. Seeing that it is getting dark, but the person hasn't come back yet, the big guy can't help feeling a little bit in his heart. Anxious.

Chen Jianjun walked around in the yard a few times, and couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, when did Xiaochen and the others come back?"

Chen Jianye replied in a muffled voice, "It's around noon."

"Then it's getting dark, why haven't you come back yet?!" Chen Jianjun frowned, and couldn't help but start guessing wildly, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Jiandang was calm, and analyzed rationally: "They must have come back by the second bus, and they haven't arrived yet."

That's right, there are only two buses from the county to the village every day, and the second one is in the afternoon. It's already early winter, and it gets dark earlier than in summer, so it's basically late in the evening.

But I knew what was going on in my heart, and the feeling of waiting all the time was unbearable.

Especially before, every time Chen Chen and the others went to sell bad peppers, they basically took the bus back at noon, but today they took the second bus. It was inevitable that they couldn't help guessing whether they had encountered some troubles, so they dragged it to the back .

Just thinking about it while waiting anxiously, Chen Huaiqing, who was at the gate of the courtyard, suddenly shouted, "Uncle and the others are back!"

All the people in the room stood up immediately, and strode out one by one.

So, before the four people came back to the door, they saw Chen Huaiqing, Chen Huaice and the others running over together from a distance, shouting and asking, and the surprised neighbors stuck their heads out to ask what was going on. up.

Chen Fen responded with a smile, saying that the monkey at home was asking for a beating.

Chen Huaiqing didn't care about these things at all, and asked questions like "Why did you come back so late", "Is everything sold?", "Is their family going to be rich?" Chen's brain is bulging.

Chen Qian grabbed the collar of Chen Huaiqing who talked the most and slipped him over, "Your Uncle Chen is not feeling well, you have questions to ask me."

Chen Huaiqing struggled a bit, but asked, "Uncle Xiaochen, what's wrong with you?"

The rest of the younger ones also looked at Chen Chen eagerly.

Chen Chen felt that the nausea from his stomach was not so severe, "Motion sickness, it's okay."

Chen Huaice suddenly said: "Uncle Xiaobei said you can eat candy for motion sickness, Uncle Chen, do you want candy?"

In fact, every time Chen Chen took the car, he would bring sweet and sour fruit candies, and holding a piece in his mouth while driving would make him feel much better.

Then why did you get so motion sick today?

Because there are many people in the bus today, the early winter air is blown in from the windows and it is cold, so the people in the bus basically do not open the windows, so the air in the bus is not circulated well, and the people in the back seat eat eggs, and they eat them one after another Two, the smell mixed together almost made him vomit, and the nausea couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

Now that the evening wind was blowing, Chen Chen felt much more comfortable, and couldn't help teasing Chen Huaiche, "I want to eat, do you have any sugar?"

"Yes!" Chen Huaice obviously felt a little pain, but still nodded his head, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Chen Chen.

In the small palm, there is a small piece of blue sugar, which is blueberry flavored at a glance.The candy wrapper was already a bit dirty, obviously Chen Huaice didn't want to eat it after leaving it for a long time.

The expression on the child's face was a bit cool, but his eyes were soft and concerned. Seeing that Chen Chen didn't take it, he opened his mouth and urged, "Uncle Chen, eat quickly."

The other young people beside him looked at the candy in Chen Huaice's hand for a while, and Chen Chen couldn't help but swallow.

Chen Chen smiled, and said: "I'm not so dizzy now, you eat by yourself."

Chen Huaice didn't believe it, "But your face is still pale."

Chen Chen said: "The wind is blowing a little bit cold, just go inside and sit down for a while."

Chen Huaice was skeptical.

Chen Chen took out a few candies from his pocket, and counted just enough to give one to each of the five little ones.

"Take it and eat it, I don't want candy right now."

Chen Chen now habitually prepares some candies at home, and often carries a few on him.One is to cope with the car ride, and the other is to coax these little ones.

In the past few months, when the little ones were sensible and obedient, Chen Chen would reward them with candies, so much so that now they all like to play with Chen Chen, thinking that their little Uncle Chen is the best.

Now they took the candy, and they were all very obedient, trying their best to get close to Chen Chen.

Chen Qian scolded them for being worthless, and bought them off with a piece of candy. The little ones hummed, this is sweet candy!

Chen Qian was not reconciled, "When I gave you candy a few days ago, you still said you liked me the most. Now that the fourth brother gave you candy, you immediately changed. Tell yourself, did you change your heart too quickly?"

The few little ones who were asked felt guilty, looked at Chen Chen for a while, and then at Chen Qian for a while, their eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, their little heads kept turning.

Suddenly, Chen Huaiqing came up with a brilliant idea, "Little former uncle, if you give us candy now, we will like you the most."

The other small eyes lit up.

Chen Qian scolded with a smile: "What beautiful things are you thinking about?"

Chen Huaiqing chuckled, "I want little former uncle to give us candy."

Chen Qian was indifferent, "No."

This fight seemed to take a long time, but in fact it only took a moment. When I stepped into the courtyard gate, I saw a group of adults standing in the courtyard, men and women, old and young, their eyes were full of hope.

Suddenly, Chen Chen's heart softened.

Mrs. Li couldn't bear it anymore, looking at their empty bamboo baskets and back baskets, she hurriedly asked, "How are you doing?"

Chen Chen smiled, "Grandma, it's all sold out."

Others felt that their ears were hallucinating.

Mrs. Li couldn't believe it, "Three hundred cans, sold all at noon?"

Chen Chen nodded, "Yes!"

Mrs. Li was at a loss, "Isn't that just, just 300 yuan?"

Chen Chen continued to nod, "Yes!"

Li Shi grinned.

The others were also happy and silly, their hands and feet fluttered, and they felt that it was not real.

Really, really sold for 300 yuan?

In the end, Chen Xiangwu was able to hold on, "What are you doing stuck in the yard? Hurry up and let the children in. They must be hungry after a busy day and the meal is served."

As if waking up from a dream, Mrs. Li immediately made arrangements, "Boss daughter-in-law, and Du Juan Chunmei, hurry up, is the rice stewed, it's time to cook!"

Wang Guizhi walked towards the kitchen in a hurry, "It's done cooking, and I'm waiting for them to come back!"

The women hurried to the kitchen, those who lit the fire, those who washed the pots, and those who washed the pots, were busy walking around.

Here, Chen Chen and the others also entered the main room.

Seeing everyone's earnest eyes, Chen Chen didn't care about anything else, and directly took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table. Chen Ming and Chen Qian also took money out of their pockets, and in a short while, there was a pile of money on the table.

The denominations of money are still small now. There are dime and yuan in the 300 yuan bill, and most of them are dime, which looks like a stack when they are stacked together.

With so much money on the table, the visual impact is not fake, everyone's eyes widened.

Chen Huaixing saw the money being taken out of his father's pocket, and ran over, "A lot of money!"

Chen Ming picked up his son, "Son, Dad earned money with your uncle and Aunt Fen today. Is Dad great?"

Chen Huaixing pursed his lips and laughed, "Amazing!"

Chen Ming happily kissed him on the cheek, making Chen Huaixing giggle.

Together with this laughter, the other startled people also came back to their senses.

Mrs. Li said excitedly: "I'm a good boy, is this the money you made selling bad peppers today?"

"Yes." As he spoke, Chen Chen told everyone about today's flowers, "Three hundred cans of bad peppers were sold for a total of 300 yuan, and the four of us had a round-trip car fare of four yuan, and we ate it in the county at noon." After a meal, I spent another four yuan, and there are still 290 taels left, all of which are here.”

They came to the county to sell bad peppers, so naturally all the expenses can't be charged to themselves, and it's okay to deduct others from it.

Mrs. Li asked: "I heard that things in the county are expensive. Do you have enough to eat for one yuan each at noon?"

Chen Fen said: "Eat enough to fill you up, but the dish has been fried for a long time, so it's not as good as freshly cooked."

"It's good to eat enough." Li Shi said, "I'm afraid that you will be hungry all day after running outside for a day."

Chen Fen rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry now."

Li Shi said: "You can eat when your auntie and the others have finished frying the vegetables."

After mentioning two off-topic words, Chen Chen turned the topic back and talked about what they were reported today.

The rest of the family exploded when they heard it. They were even more frightened when they heard that the police came to the door. Then they were relieved when they heard that nothing happened after checking their documents. Quan said "serve it right", feeling that this kind of shameless family restlessness is what they asked for, and finally told the four of them to be careful when selling bad peppers outside. Although earning money is important, it is also important. Nobody matters.

Although the family is poor, they feel that it is better for the family to be neat and safe, and they will continue to farm at worst!Anyway, the country has allocated the land to them now, as long as they work hard, they don't have to be afraid of starving to death!

Chen Chen was a little moved when he heard it, Chen Ming and Chen Fen responded one by one, only Chen Qian said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of, we are doing serious business, we don't steal or rob, no one else can plot against us."

Chen Jianjun drank it immediately, "What do you know? No one in this county is more knowledgeable than you. Don't think that you are great because you have a brain. People are smarter than you! I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth all the time. I feel that I am amazing. I Sooner or later, you will fall!"

Chen Qian said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, can you expect me to order?"

Chen Jianjun stared, "I don't know what's in my heart, but I'm afraid others will say it?"

"Father, don't let other people's ambition destroy your prestige. Didn't we solve this matter well today?" Chen Qiandao: "I have contributed a lot here."

Seeing that Chen Jianjun was about to talk again, Chen Ming hurriedly said: "That's right, Second Uncle, today we have been busy trying to find out who made the report. Without him, we don't know where to go to find out the news. Xiaoqian is still pretty good."

Chen Jianjun snorted, "He only knows a few cronies."

Chen Qian didn't think there was any problem with how many people he made friends with, "Then we still need someone at this critical time."

"What Xiaoqian said is correct." Chen Xiangwu said, "It is said that there are acquaintances who are easy to handle. If there is no acquaintance in the county, then this time we will have to be caught blind. We have been kept in the dark. This time it is The small front contributes a lot.”

The old man said so, Chen Jianjun hummed a few words and said nothing.

Chen Qian felt that he was superior.

Only then did Chen Chen say: "I brought this up to let everyone have a sense of the difficulties we encountered in doing business, and secondly, I remembered that I didn't take any money before. Xiaoqian, when you go to a friend to inquire Did you spend money? If you spent money, then we have to make it up for you. "

Everyone felt that it was time to make up, and looked at Chen Qian with all eyes.

Chen Qian said: "I have a good relationship with them, why would I need to spend money on such a matter?"

Mrs. Li asked: "Xiaoqian, are there really no flowers?"

"No." Chen Qian said with a hippie smile, "If I really spent money, I don't need you to mention it, I have to say, I finally saved some by myself, and I don't want someone to make up for me when I run out."

Everyone: "..."

It's obviously a very good word, why is it so strange when it comes out of his mouth?

Chen Jianjun immediately looked at Chen Qian with eyes that were not eyes and noses that were not noses.

Chen Xiangwu got down to business, "Xiaochen, what do you plan to do with the money?"

Everyone fell silent immediately, and their ears were pricked up.

"The batch of bad peppers I made before can be opened, so my plan is to sell the bad peppers first, and then divide the money later." After a pause, Chen Chen continued: "As for how much we sell every day? I will keep an account of the money and how much it is spent, and if you want to check the account when you are waiting for the money, you can also check it."

Chen Jiandang immediately said: "There is nothing to investigate, Xiaochen, we can rest assured that you will do things."

Chen Chen smiled, and then said: "Whether everyone checks it or not, this account has to be recorded, such as adding some big jars, buying some knives, chopping boards, plastic gloves, enamel basins and other household items, including glass jars and printing plates. Labels and other expenses, all of which come from the sale of bad peppers, so of course you have to keep a clear record of this amount, otherwise it will become a messy account sooner or later, and everyone can't figure it out."

Chen Xiangwu knew what Chen Chen was thinking, so he made a decision directly: "Brothers will settle the accounts, the money spent on Chen's chili peppers will be paid from the money obtained from selling bad chili peppers, whether it is taking a car or eating, you have to issue a receipt. Otherwise, I will deny it."

Chen Chen was surprised that Chen Xiangwu could still think of bills, and even guarded against fraudulent means.

In fact, it is good for everyone to do so, the entire Chen family belongs to everyone, and after deducting the expenses, the remaining money will be shared by everyone.The more money you have left, the more you will get in the end, right?

Everyone thought about it carefully and thought it was the best way, and they all had no opinion, saying that it was good to do so.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen said to Wucai: "Xiao Chen, then you can keep the money first, and then divide it after the bad peppers are sold."

Chen Chen didn't refuse, "Okay."

As soon as he finished talking about the business, Wang Guizhi came from the kitchen to say that the food was ready to be served.

The Chen family who were so happy went into the kitchen to help with the dishes.

Although there were only stewed potatoes on the table, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, boiled pumpkin and a plate of pickled vegetables, but everyone was happy in their hearts, and the meal was lively and enjoyable.

After dinner, when Chen Chen went home, he wrote down the bills, and then hid the money separately in the headboard of the bed, so that it would not be mixed with his own money.

In the next few days, Chen Chen, Chen Ming, Chen Qian, and Chen Fen brought bad peppers to the county to sell every day.

At the beginning, the customers thought that Chen Chen was lying to them. After all, it was really a long time before they came here, and they were inevitably afraid that this situation would happen again, so the first two times the bad chili was snatched very quickly. sharp.

But when they saw them coming every day later, they knew that what Chen Chen said was true, and the bad peppers they made this time should not be too small.

In this way, there is no need to rob.

Anyway, if there are many, then sell them after eating!

Because of the customer's mentality, the sales of bad peppers that have been sold for several days in a row gradually stabilized. After a few days, the sales began to stagnate, and sometimes it took a second bus to go back to the village to barely sell out. .

On December 12, this was the first time that the sales of Chen's bad peppers could not be sold out. The four brothers and sisters of the Chen family took the remaining bad peppers on their backs and took the bus back.

After selling the bad chili for so many days, they had already expected it in their hearts, but now that it really happened, everyone's mood is still not very good.

Chen Fen asked worriedly: "Will it be impossible to sell it in the future?"

"No." Chen Chen said: "It's just that they can't sell it for a while, and they will come back to buy it after they finish eating the bad peppers."

Chen Fen was comforted.

A group of people returned home in a bad mood. The family looked at the unsold hot peppers with serious expressions, but no one said anything to blame, and told them to put down their things and go home for dinner.

Chen Chen didn't care what everyone thought, anyway, he wasn't worried.

Peppers are consumables, and you have to buy them after you finish eating them, unless you don’t want to eat them.

He went directly to the house to record the account, looked at the general ledger and counted the money. After dinner, he took the account book and money, and called the whole family to go to the uncle's house. On the way, he asked Chen Bei to call Chen Jianjun's family.

Chen Bei was very clever, he guessed what he was going to do when he saw the things in his brother's satchel, and ran so fast that he wished he could fly up.
