selling chili peppers in chronology

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

Of course, no matter how confused he was, Chen Chen said that in public, and the Chen family couldn't save him. The key was that the things Du Xingwei gave were really expensive.

In the past, it was very good to drink Shaodaozi brewed by the villagers themselves. It was unthinkable to drink Maotai or something like that. It is a good wine that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

As for the tea...

Who in the village has such an expensive thing? It is already a matter of face to entertain guests with a bowl of sugar water. Tea is only drunk by rich people in the city.

The Chen family, who were used to being poor and frugal in the past, got rich by selling bad peppers, and even once couldn’t sleep because of the money, but the idea of ​​"poverty and frugality" in their bones still couldn't be changed, especially Seeing things that I didn't dare to think about before, it is even more difficult to recover for a while.

A few people could only follow Chen Chen's words and say dryly: "Then you must come..."

Du Xingwei solemnly agreed.

This made the Chen family even more nervous.

Chen Chen watched helplessly and wanted to laugh, and at the same time felt a little distressed. He felt that if he wanted to change his mind, he had to boil the frog in warm water, so take it slowly.

After a meal, there is almost nothing left on the table.

After all, Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an were children, so they didn't have to think about entertaining guests. They went to his uncle's house to help with work as soon as they finished eating;

Liu Dongxue was busy cleaning the dishes and utensils in the kitchen;

Chen Jianye was obsessed with the unfinished work at home, put down his chopsticks and burned his butt after sitting for a while. Of course, there was also Chen Jianye's embarrassment and embarrassment that he didn't know what to talk to Du Xingwei, even if Du Xingwei consciously turned the topic to something that Chen Jianye could participate in. The topic is above, but Chen Jianye, who is not good at words, still doesn't know what to say.

Originally, Du Xingwei thought it was not good to leave as soon as he put down his chopsticks, but now that he saw Chen Jianye's silent and preoccupied appearance, he simply didn't stay any longer and offered to leave directly.

"Uncle Chen, I'm going back now, and you are busy too."

Chen Jianye was polite, "I just sat down now, let's sit down for a while."

Du Xingwei stood up, "No, Lao Zhang and Sun Zhi are still with me, I have to go back and have a look."

Sun Zhi, as the buyer of their bad chili, is very important to Chen Jianye.Hearing what Du Xingwei said, he stopped talking and stood up, "Then I won't keep you any longer, and I will often come to my house to sit and sit in the future."

Du Xingwei responded: "Okay, don't send it away, it's cold outside."

Chen Jianye wanted to follow him to give it off, but Chen Chen also stopped him, "Dad, I'll go."

Chen Jianye stopped, "Then you go, I'm going to your uncle's."

Chen Chen responded.

The cold wind blows at night, especially when it pours into the neck, the person who can blow it suddenly trembles.

Chen Chen said: "I reckon the goods will be ready in another two or three hours. When you go back, ask Sun Zhi whether to order tonight or tomorrow morning. If it is to order tonight, you will come in three hours. It's dark and cold, so we won't go shouting, and if we haven't come after four hours, then we'll go to sleep."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Sun Zhi what he means." Du Xingwei stopped, "You go back, don't send it off."

Chen Chen smiled, "I'm going to uncle's place, so I'll drop you off by the way."

Du Xingwei walked forward again.

In fact, they didn't even walk a few steps, and they reached the intersection of the lower ridge without even saying a few words. Chen Chen told him to be careful on the road, and Du Xingwei responded, and the two parted ways.

Looking at the figure of Du Xingwei who had gone away, Chen Chen gathered up his thin cotton coat before walking towards the elders.

The house was in full swing, and there were busy people coming and going in and out of the yard, except for Chen Huaixing, Chen Huaifang and Chen Huaizhi, the three little ones who would really help more and more, even Chen Huaiqing and Chen Huaiche were helping with the bad peppers.

Opening altars, filling jars, labelling, handling...

A group of busy.

Chen Xiangwu was sitting on a small bench in the room helping to fill the cans, Chen Chen walked over to help, and learned about the current situation by the way.

"Grandpa, how much do you have now?"

Chen Xiangwu said: "Now there are more than 400 cans that are packed, and more than 900 cans are labeled, which is less than [-] cans."

Chen Chen nodded, "It's already very fast."

"Don't dare to be lazy." Chen Xiangwu asked: "Is the cargo going to be loaded into the car tonight?"

"Don't pretend." Chen Chen said: "It's so dark and the things are heavy, accidents are easy to happen if you are not careful, and you have to wait until tomorrow morning to load the car. And it is windy and cold at night, Sun Zhi is not sure if he can get some goods tonight, Let's do it first and see what Sun Zhi has to say."

Chen Xiangwu was puzzled, "Isn't he in a hurry today?"

Chen Chen put down the spoon and reached out to pick up the jar lid, "If you're in a hurry, you have to be realistic. We're already working overtime."

Chen Xiangwu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, "You just know what's in your mind."

"There are numbers."

Chen Chen screwed on the lid of the jar, and as soon as he put it into the bamboo basket next to him, Chen Huaice picked it up and replaced it with another empty bamboo basket, and then carried the jar to the next room for labeling.

Chen Chen didn't get up in a hurry to do other things, and asked Chen Huaifang who was playing in the distance to find him a stool, and then told him about Chen's affairs in the provincial capital these few days, including talking to Bai The business Xu talked about, the wholesale price considerations he made, the change of the label, etc., and finally, he focused on Du Xingwei's ordering.

Chen Xiangwu was also surprised, "Du Xingwei?"

Chen Chen nodded, "It's him."

Chen Xiangwu had a subtle expression on his face, "No one in the village knew what he was doing during the time he went out to roam around. I didn't expect that he bought a truck."

"He's very capable." My partner, Chen Chen, spoke quite proudly, "He has a lot of goods under his hands, including three trucks, and he has hired some people to help him with the work. Today's old driver Zhang is the one he hired to drive and deliver goods, and he often travels to various provinces across the country."

Chen Xiangwu was shocked, "Is he really so capable?"

Three trucks, and there are people working for him, this...

It is estimated that in the entire Yongxing County, that is a big deal!

Chen Chen smiled and said: "That's not true. Don't say anything else, just today's truck, didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

Chen Xiangwu thought about the unattainable truck, and it took him a long time to digest the news.

Then, he suddenly sneered, "Then when the Du family finds out, they won't regret it to death. For the sake of two people with foreign surnames, they don't treat their own blood as human beings, but anyone who knows clearly can't do those things. "

Chen Chengang, who was still a little proud, was depressed by Chen Xiangwu's two words.

"Grandpa, in the future, the Du family will really regret it and want to bully Du Xingwei again. Does Du Xingwei not want to take care of them?"

"Of course it makes sense." Chen Xiangwu really looked down upon the Du family, "Everyone in the village has seen how Du Xingwei lived. If Du Xingwei hadn't been able to stand up on his own, he would have been put to the test a long time ago. If they are dead, how can they survive until now? Besides, they broke up their relationship a few years ago, and there are still books in the village. They have stamps signed by themselves and the village cadres, whether the Du family wants to admit it Will not work."

Chen Chen was relieved after hearing this.

"That's fine..."

Chen Xiangwu glanced at Chen Chen, "Du Xingwei is not a soft persimmon, who in the village is not afraid of him now? Others want to bully him?" Chen Xiangwu shook his head, "I guess he will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Chen Chen heard the smell, "Grandpa, why do I think you like Du Xingwei?"

"A boy with a backbone, I like your grandfather." After speaking, Chen Xiangwu sighed again: "Besides, Du Xingwei was only a half-grown child at that time, and it was not his fault."

Chen Chen thought in his heart: That's right, if you don't resist anymore, there might not even be bones left!

After a little idle talk, Chen Xiangwu was still thinking about the business, "So how many bad peppers does Du Xingwei want to buy?"

Chen Chen's attention was pulled back a little bit, "He said he wants a lot of goods, the key depends on how much we can supply."

Chen Xiangwu asked: "Then what is your plan?"

Chen Chen said: "I want to give Du Xingwei what is left after Baixu's batch of goods is shipped, so that our pots and other household items can be vacant, and the peppers in the field will be picked during this period, and we can do it." Just make as many bad peppers as you want, and dry the rest of the peppers, and wait until the new year is over.”

Chen Xiangwu was surprised, "You sold it all to Du Xingwei, so we won't sell it ourselves?"

"Let's see if Brother Ming and the others are willing to go to the county to sell them. The bad chili business in the county is close to saturation, and the sales may not be as fast as before." Chen Chen said: "The most important thing is that it's getting colder every day. I don't really want Brother Ming and the others to go to the county to sell bad peppers and suffer."

Chen Xiangwu didn't quite understand what "saturation" meant, but he could roughly guess what it meant by combining the sentences.

Chen Xiangwu said disapprovingly: "They are all young people, so what's the point of being cold? I bought new cotton and brought it home, so it won't be cold when I put it on. How can I complain about being tired when I make money."

Chen Chen understands this kind of thinking of poor people, but he doesn't want to agree with it.

"Grandpa, you have to work hard when you should be hard, but there is no need to force yourself to suffer when you shouldn't be hard." Chen Chen said: "Selling all the goods to Du Xingwei, we can save a lot of trouble."

Chen Xiangwu sighed, "I just feel sorry for the ten cents that I lost. Xiao Ming and the others can sell about two hundred cans of bad peppers every day in the county, so it costs 20 yuan."

Chen Chen knew this was the case.

In the era when you could buy a white flour steamed bun for a dime, more than 20 yuan a day was indeed a lot of money.

Chen Xiangwu's reluctance to give up is understandable.

After thinking about it, Chen Chen didn't try to persuade him any more, but said: "Grandpa, I'm busy at the moment, I'll sit down and discuss with you after the batch of Bo Xu is out of our house, and ask everyone's thoughts."

"Okay." Chen Xiangwu said, "It just so happens that the village has something to say about what you told me earlier, so let's talk about it together then."

Chen Chen said yes.

He packed the can of bad chili in his hand, then got up and went to another room to check the situation.

In this house, there are all kinds of glass jars, chili jars and packed chili peppers everywhere at the moment, plus those cardboard boxes, the stacking is very messy, plus there are so many people, and there is a coal stove burning the fire, There is almost nowhere to go inside and outside the house.

Those who pack bad peppers pack bad peppers, those who put labels on them, and those who carry jars, or those who fill jars directly next to the big jars, and those who do odd jobs. They chat while they are busy.

The most important thing is that no one complained that they were tired, and the expressions on their faces were obviously happy.
