selling chili peppers in chronology

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

In the end, Chen Chen was awakened by various exclamations outside.

"car!!"

"Ahhh what a big car!"

"who is this?"

"Is this car going into our village?"

The surprised voices outside were louder than one sentence, and this weekend, the children in the village did not have to go to school. Now when they suddenly saw the car, they ran along and shouted in their mouths. It was really lively and exciting.

The carriage was relatively dark, and the sleepy Chen Chen could feel Du Xingwei sitting next to him, "Are you in the village?"

Du Xingwei replied, "Here we are."

Chen Chen woke up, "When did you wake up?"

Du Xingwei said, "Not for a while."

Chen Chen sat up.

"Does Lao Zhang know the way?"

Lao Zhang is the driver of the car.

"I've been here twice." Du Xingwei said, "I've already told him where to park in advance."

Chen Chen was surprised, "When did you come here? I haven't heard of it."

Du Xingwei said: "Come to the village to find me, without driving."

Chen Chen immediately understood.

After saying a few more words, Chen Chen pulled his clothes and hair, and the car stopped. The iron sheet of the car was patted by the person in the driver's seat, and Du Xingwei also patted twice to indicate that he knew.

A bunch of onlookers outside hadn't left yet, and they were scrambling to say all kinds of guesswork.

Chen Chen lifted the tarpaulin and took a look, good guy, the three floors inside and outside are full of people!

The people who were looking forward to watching the excitement outside were also stunned when they saw Chen Chen.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Then, it exploded——

"Chen Chen, why are you?!"

"Chen Chen, why did you get out of this car?"

"This car belongs to your family?!"

"Can your family afford a car?"

All kinds of outrageous guesses were made one after another, everyone exploded with excitement, and Chen Chen was also dizzy.

"no……"

"No? Then why did you get out of this car?" The man was very excited and logical, "Didn't you say you went to the provincial capital? Why did you come back in this car? Whose car is this car?" ..."

While talking, the man's crackling questions stopped abruptly.

Without it, Du Xingwei came out of the carriage.

The originally lively and intense atmosphere suddenly became quiet and silent, not daring to say a word.

He looked like he had seen a ghost.

Chen Chen frowned, but seeing that Du Xingwei had jumped off the carriage as if nothing had happened, Chen Chen had no choice but to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and jumped down along with him.

He wanted to say that this car belonged to Du Xingwei, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Du Xingwei.

After all, Du Xingwei has been in and out of the village for so long. He has never driven a car, and he has never said these things. Even the villagers don't even know what he is doing after he has been out for so long... Obviously, Du Xingwei doesn't think much of it. Expose yourself.

Of course he couldn't say it.

The car was parked just under the ridge of the Chen family's house, and it was parked here deliberately for the convenience of carrying things.The Chen family, who were drying chili peppers in the yard, heard the sound of the truck and all stood outside the yard and stretched their necks to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, they saw an acquaintance. Isn't that a coincidence?

The whole family came down quickly, and now they were already in front of them.

"Xiao Chen, are you back?" Chen Jin shouted.

"I'm back." Chen Chen looked at the people around who couldn't leave for a while, and felt that the things in the carriage would be seen no matter when he took them off, so he simply didn't hide them, and said directly: " Brother Jin, I bought some things, please help me get them."

Chen Jin immediately said: "Success, we will take it back."

Chen Xiangwu came down, "Are you back?"

Chen Chen responded, calling several elders one by one, and seeing everyone staring at the truck eagerly, he explained, "This truck is here to pull goods, let's go home later and talk about it."

As soon as these words fell, the Chen family's face was overjoyed.

They know why Chen Chen went to the provincial capital, and now the cars are here to pick up the goods, doesn't that mean it's done!

Chen Xiangwu repeatedly said yes.

The people around were asking questions, even the village chief and the captain were on the list. Others in the village could do whatever they wanted, but these three couldn't. Fortunately, Chen Xiangwu had already seen the people who were standing aside and waiting. Lao Zhang and his contact secretary, Sun Zhi, asked Chen Chen to go back first, and he would do it here.

It couldn't be better.

Chen Chen smiled with everyone, and immediately called Sun Zhi and the others to go home.

The way the villagers stretched their necks, if the Chen family hadn't called them to stop under Chen Xiangwu's instruction, they probably would have followed. Now there are all kinds of chattering questions behind their ears.

Chen Chen breathed out lightly, and explained to Sun Zhi, "It's rare to see a few people from outside in the village, it's a joke."

Sun Zhi understood very well, "Yes, I want to watch something exciting when I see something new."

Chen Chen smiled, "That's right."

Today everyone was drying chili peppers, and the yards of the three houses were all occupied by red chili peppers. For convenience, Chen Chen took Sun Zhi to his home and soaked them in water. When the melon seeds and peanuts came up, Sun Zhi kept telling them not to be busy.

Taking advantage of the time when Sun Zhi was drinking tea, Chen Chen hurriedly asked a few women who were busy in the kitchen.

"Is there still five thousand catties of bad chili at home?"

Wang Guizhi was startled, "Xiaochen, are you going to sell so much this time?"

Chen Chen hummed, "They want five thousand cans first."

Mrs. Li and Wang Guizhi's sister-in-law all gasped. They didn't expect Chen Chen to come back with such a big order after going out for a few days.

"I see Brother Ming and the others are not at home, are they out selling bad peppers? How are they selling?"

"It's okay from what they say." Li's reaction was also quick, "We made some bad peppers in the past two days when you went to the provincial capital, and the ones that can be opened now must be enough for [-] cans, so you can go and tell that person without worry. "

Chen Chen immediately felt relieved, "Okay."

Chen Chen turned to go to the small hall, but Liu Dongxue hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao Chen, do they want to stay for dinner? Shall I make more?"

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We had a meal here in the provincial capital this morning, but we didn't eat it on the way. Aunt Liu, you can make them all, everyone is probably hungry."

Liu Dongxue hurriedly said, "Okay."

In the small hall, Chen Xiangwu had already sat down, and the matter outside was probably settled. At the moment, Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianye were also sitting at the table, chatting with everyone. A few are not there.

Chen Chen went in and sat down.

Seeing him coming in, Sun Zhi took the initiative to mention it, "Boss Chen, you also know that we need this bad chili urgently, so when can we pick up the goods?"

"The amount of bad chili that has been prepared is enough, and we can pick it up at any time." Chen Chen said: "But we are tired all the way, no matter how anxious we are, we have to start tomorrow, right?"

Sun Zhi looked at Du Xingwei, "I don't feel at ease if I don't handle this business properly. Boss Du, what do you think?"

The Chen family was very surprised that Sun Zhi asked Du Xingwei. They didn't expect that this matter had something to do with Du Xingwei.

Du Xingwei was as stern as ever, with no ups and downs on his face, "Have a rest for the night, and you can set off tomorrow morning after handover."

Having said all this, Chen Chen didn't delay any longer, "In this case, then I'll go to stock up, how about checking it later?"

Sun Zhi nodded, "Yes."

Du Xingwei stood up, "You guys are busy, I'll take the two of them to my place."

The Chen family also stood up. They didn't know what the current situation was, and they didn't dare to express their opinions indiscriminately.

Du Xingwei has a good relationship with Bo Xu, and they have done business together in partnership, and Sun Zhi belongs to Bo Xu. Chen Chen knows that the two of them should have a good personal relationship, and Sun Zhi must be more comfortable going to Du Xingwei's side than being with him.

Hence, Chen Chen was not polite, "That's fine too, you guys go to rest and come over for dinner later."

Du Xingwei said: "They eat at my place."

Sun Zhi is very self-aware, he is just an errand runner, how can he eat at someone's house?It made me feel like a distinguished guest, feeling uncomfortable everywhere, "Boss Chen, please don't bother me."

Chen Chen laughed, "It's just a farm side dish."

"There's no need to trouble yourself." Sun Zhi said, "Boss Du, Lao Zhang and I haven't had dinner for a long time, so I want to take this opportunity to get together with them."

Speaking of this, Chen Chen didn't force it too much, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb your plans."

After saying a few words, Sun Zhi greeted Chen Xiangwu and the others, and then went to his side with Du Xingwei.

Before leaving, Chen Chen said to Du Xingwei: "I may need to use your car later."

Du Xingwei asked: "What's wrong?"

"Before I set off, I forgot to tell Lao Zhang that I stopped in the county, and I have to do something in the county." Chen Chen looked down at the time on his watch, "But there is no bus going to the county at this hour today. "

Du Xingwei didn't ask him what he wanted to do, but said, "I'll take you there."

"Okay." Chen Chen himself was quite embarrassed, "I need to use your car and I need you to entertain my partners, it's troublesome."

Du Xingwei paused, "I also know Sun Zhi well, why are you being polite to me?"

Chen Chen smiled, "Isn't this taking advantage of you so much, I feel embarrassed."

Du Xingwei also smiled, "Don't be polite to me."

Chen Chen nodded: "OK."

After Du Xingwei and the others left, the Chen family quickly surrounded them, and Chen Chen immediately talked about the business without waiting for them to ask.

Not surprisingly, everyone was shocked.

Before they were shocked, Chen Chen directly arranged the work, "Just now everyone also heard from Sun Zhi that they are in a hurry to get the goods. We have to pack five thousand jars of bad peppers quickly, and Sun Zhi will come over to check it out at night. Check it, or you will have to delay another day."

As soon as everyone heard this, there was no problem at all, and selling goods was the big deal!

Chen Xiangwu said: "Hurry up! Get moving!"

Everyone was about to run to the old master immediately, Chen Chen quickly called to stop them, "Wait."

Chen Xiangwu turned his head and asked, "Xiaochen, what else do you have to explain?"

Chen Chen said: "Later, when you pack the bad peppers, use glass jars without sticky notes. The price is different this time. I have to go to the county later, and the labels will be re-attached at night."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all asked, "Why are you selling at different prices?"

Chen Chen simply explained, "The wholesale price I gave was [-] cents a can, but the goods are to be shipped to Changzhou. It’s not for retail sales, but since we are going to do business, it’s best to regulate it from the beginning, lest others see us and think that we are doing business blindly.”

As soon as everyone heard the explanation, they immediately understood, the main reason was that they felt that their minds were not as thoughtful as Chen Chen's, so they just believed in Chen Chen.

"We will do what Xiaochen says! Listening to him is always right!"

Chen Chen smiled, "Then everyone will work hard, this time the goods are in urgent need, we have to get things ready quickly."

Feng Zhaodi waved her hand directly, "Xiaochen, what are you talking about, the money earned here is shared by everyone in the Chen family, why don't you be more diligent?"

Wang Guizhi also said: "That's right. Anyway, we have a lot of people, so it won't be long before we finish it."

Everyone agreed for a while, but Chen Jiandang did some calculations in his mind, and then said: "Xiao Chen, then you have to buy some more glass jars when you go to the county, and there are not enough [-] glass jars at home without labels. "

Chen Chen immediately asked: "How far is it?"

Chen Jiandang said, "Two thousand."

"Then I'll go to the glass factory to see if they have ready-made ones. Two thousand are the best. If not, I'll tear off the stickers and re-stick them." Chen Chen asked, "Total There are five thousand, right?"

Chen Jiandang affirmed: "There are still some."

"That's good."

After finishing the business, everyone hurried to work on the old master's side.

Everyone has already done the canning of bad peppers, and Chen Chen didn't follow him.

Just now I heard that Du Xingwei, Sun Zhi, and the others were going to have dinner at home, so Liu Dongxue turned on the fire in the stove. The water in the pot was heating up at the moment. It was originally intended to be used for killing chickens, but it was obviously not needed now.

Liu Dongxue was tidying up the kitchen. When she saw Chen Chen coming in, she asked, "Xiaochen, there are no leftovers this morning. Shall I cook some noodles for you?"

Chen Chen said: "Aunt Liu, go and do your work, I will do it myself."

"It's okay, you must be tired from the journey, you should take a rest first, don't you still have to go to the county after eating?" Liu Dongxue asked again, "The second bus to the county has probably left Now, why are you going to the county?"

Chen Chen had already thought about it, "There's a truck parked below, I'll take that."

Only then did Liu Dongxue feel relieved, "There is a way."

As she said that, she went to turn on the fire again, and then went into the house and took out two eggs, obviously wanting to poach the eggs and cook the noodles together.She moved swiftly, and the oil was already hot within a moment.

Chen Chen didn't grab it anymore, turned around and went to the house to tidy up the things that everyone brought up just now.

Nothing was dismantled, and there were a lot of things. The room where they slept had two beds, cabinets, desks and chairs, and so on. If these things were piled up, the inside looked very messy.

Chen Chen looked at it for a while and felt helpless.

In the end, he could only take out the two bags he bought for himself.The big one is a bit like a mountaineering bag, it can hold a lot of things, and you can use it to pack some change of clothes and food when you go out for a few days in the future;

The small one is the schoolbag with shoulders. Although most students in this era are using canvas army green satchels, there are already schoolbags on the market, and they are expensive and fashionable things.

Of course, Chen Chen didn't buy it because he thought it was fashionable. In fact, in the eyes of Chen Chen, who is used to all kinds of complicated tricks in later generations, this backpack is actually a bit ugly.

He bought it mainly for the convenience of the bag.

For example, if you go to a county or a provincial capital, you need to bring money, important documents such as a letter of introduction, and other items to decorate. This schoolbag is just right.

It also saves putting it in a big bag like before.
