selling chili peppers in chronology

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

When Chen Chen said he was not in a hurry, he was really not in a hurry, because after the weather cleared, all the other things that the Chen family was busy with were put aside, and the collective cleaned up the peppers in the field first.

These peppers are no easy feat to put together.

Du Xingwei ordered [-] cans of bad peppers, so at least that many fresh peppers had to be set aside for cooking.Not to mention the steps of picking, cleaning, and filling the altar, but simply chopping it up is basically exhausting.

Now that the family has bought a lot of chopping boards, knives, and plastic gloves, the men and women in the family basically cannot escape the fate of helping chop peppers.

After a few days of busy work, the arm holding the knife was so sore that he didn't want to move.

In addition, when making bad peppers, the bad peppers left at home have to be canned and labeled, and when the cartons arrive, they have to be packed and shipped to Du Xingwei. These tasks have to be done by people.

However, there were still some empty jars before, and the canning and cooking of chili peppers can be carried out at the same time.

only……

These jars at home are not enough to hold [-] catties of bad peppers, so I have to order another batch of jars, and the most important thing is to find a place to put the jars.

The three families filled the jars as much as they could, but even so, there were not enough jars at all.

In the end, Chen Xiangwu went to Chen Xiangwen to discuss, and after the jar of bad peppers was sealed, he moved the jar to Chen Xiangwen's place, so that it should be able to store a lot.

At this time, the whole family would sigh to themselves that this factory building really needs to be repaired quickly, otherwise there will be no place to put the jars if there are raw materials, and it will be a delay in making money.

During this period of time, the peppers must be picked. The fresh peppers that have been spoiled must be cleaned and chopped immediately after the branches are picked off.

With regard to these tasks, it is estimated that most of the half a month will be too busy.

Or the kind that the whole family starts together.

Obviously, the winter is not so busy, but because of these peppers, the Chen family runs from morning to night on the road of peppers every day. They don’t even have time to go to the village with a few children. They are arranged by their parents to do some small work every day. , After a day's work, you will be rewarded with two candies at the end.Children, eat one and save one, and then run to the village to show off during the rest time after eating.

During that time, the children in the village were made to cry by the little ones of the Chen family.

Because of this, there are occasional sighs and sighs in my ears, but there are no gossips. After all, the Chen family's words have been released-the coming year will be charged at the county price.Those unpleasant things spread to other people's ears, and when the time comes, you won't cry if you don't want to accept them.

Everyone is a little sour.

Why do people work so hard all their lives?Isn't it just for food and clothing for children!As a result, the children in the family are now being cried by the children of the Chen family from time to time, so parents should not worry?

It’s just that they are sour. The Chen family is so busy now. They are busy picking peppers, cleaning peppers, chopping peppers, and peeling garlic... It’s confusing to be so busy. How can I care if you are sour? ?

Did the rest of the Chen family notice these things? Chen Chen didn't know. Chen Chen only knew that he found that the limelight in the village was not right because he went to deliver rice wine to Chen Jian's house one day, and suddenly found a group of carrot heads sitting in the house. Peeling garlic.

Chen Chen was full of question marks at the time, and after asking, he realized that these people came to play with Chen Huaifang and Chen Huaixing, but they were all working, so they also sat down to help.

Chen Chen:"???"

Are all the children in the village so diligent?

As soon as Chen Chen expressed his doubts, Chen Fen couldn't help bursting out laughing, "Brother Xiaochen, why are you thinking so well?"

Chen Chen was puzzled, "What?"

The smile on Chen Fen's face did not dissipate, but her voice lowered, and her tone revealed some subtlety, "Huaifang and the others go out every day to show off the sweets they got from work, those children are envious."

Chen Chenfu thought to his heart, "It's all for sugar?"

Chen Fen shrugged, "Otherwise?"

Chen Chen was in a complicated mood, "Okay."

Chen Chen carried a lot of rice wine over here, and he sweated all over himself in the cold weather. After carrying it, he went into the main room to drink water and catch his breath, and then saw Mrs. Li sitting in the room to rest.

"Xiaochen, do you want some water?" Shi Li asked.

Chen Chen nodded, "Drink."

During this period of time, the workload is heavy, and a kettle is always placed on the coal stove to ensure that there is always water to drink, and there are also bowls on the table.The kettle looks very new, it was bought when I went to the county.

Chen Chen gulped down a bowl of cold water that was not so hot, and he felt refreshed.

Seeing his heroic posture, Mrs. Li kept telling him to slow down and stop choking.

After he finished drinking, Mrs. Li asked, "Are you tired these days?"

Chen Chen said: "Everyone is tired."

"That's not it." Mrs. Li didn't favor Chen Chen alone, "The rain didn't fall at the right time before, otherwise the peppers that were picked and dried could have been dried, so there's no need to be in such a hurry now. It’s not much different from the autumn harvest.”

When Chen Chen heard it, it was true.

Adults and children have been very tired these days. Although he followed Du Xingwei to the county to find Master Hao, and was busy with other messy things, he would come over to help make bad peppers when he was not busy, and it would be nice to add a piece Very tired.

Then sweep the busy uncles, aunts, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law in the house, and even the young ones at home are still busy with their feet not touching the ground. Take a closer look, Chen Huaixing, who used to have a little flesh on his cheeks, now With less flesh on his face, he still sits there obediently and works, and even competes with other little carrot heads in the village to see who can do the most and the best work.

There are still a lot of peppers in the field that have not been picked, and the amount of bad peppers has not yet reached the amount required by Du Xingwei's order, but now people are already a little tired with the naked eye.

Chen Chen realized that this was not going to work.

He went around the other rooms again, thinking about a lot of things in his mind, and finally called Chen Xiangwu, who was lighting a fire in the kitchen, into the room, stopped Mrs. Li, who was about to get up to work, and then expressed his thoughts Talk to them.

"Grandpa, grandma, according to the current posture, we estimate that it will take another month to finish our work?"

Li has a steelyard in his heart for these things, "Where does it take so long, about 20 days."

"Then 20 days." Chen Chen said, "But everyone is quite tired now."

Mrs. Li didn't understand why Chen Chen said these words suddenly, but said habitually: "If you want to live a good life, you have to work harder? Otherwise, why should you live a good life?"

Chen Chen:"……"

For a while, it made sense.

Chen Xiangwu felt that Chen Chen's question probably meant something else, so he asked, "Xiaochen, what do you want to say?"

Chen Chen put himself in order and said, "Originally we started this chili business to let us all live a good life, but now it is obviously winter when we are resting, but what we do is similar to the autumn harvest, and everyone is tired. It's serious... I feel like we've put the cart before the horse."

Mrs. Li hadn't turned the corner yet, "Xiaochen, what do you mean?"

Chen Chen said directly: "I think it's better for us to invite some people to help."

Mrs. Li: "???"

Chen Xiangwu: "..."

Li's face was dumbfounded, while Chen Xiangwu was only a little surprised, but not that serious.

Mrs. Li asked confusedly: "Please help? Help?"

Chen Chen hummed, "It just so happens that no one in the village is busy now, and we happen to be in a hurry to harvest peppers, so why don't we ask some people to help us, so that we can relax ourselves."

In the eyes of honest farmers, farming and working are all the work they should do, and that is the destination of their whole life. It’s okay to do business, after all, they can earn money, but they still hire people to do the work. It's a little outrageous to come to help, especially when asking people to work is not about your family helping me today and my family helping each other tomorrow, but spending money to hire people to work!This is simply off the charts.

Because of this kind of hard-working and simple thinking, Li Shicai couldn't recover for a long time, and his face was dull.

At the critical moment, Chen Xiangwu was still reliable, he took a light breath before asking Chen Chen, "Xiao Chen, have you thought about it?"

"Think it over." Chen Chen said: "Du Xingwei has already asked me clearly about the house repair. Master Hao's work in the provincial capital has come to an end. There were a few people who asked them to repair the house, but because Du Xingwei He has something to do with Master Hao, and when he heard Du Xingwei said that he wanted to ask him to repair the house, he refused someone else to take Du Xingwei's job, and it is estimated that he will come by the end of next month."

Of course, friendship belongs to friendship, but in fact the house to be repaired does not belong to Du Xingwei himself, Du Xingwei is at most an introducer.And Master Hao is now developing in the provincial capital, he was hesitant to come, but it was Du Xingwei who paid some favors before Master Hao agreed.

As for what the benefits are...

According to Du Xingwei himself, several bottles of good wine and a good cigarette were snatched from him.

Based on the tone Du Xingwei said at the time, Chen Chen felt that it was like bribery or blackmail from an ordinary friend. As for the nature of it, Du Xingwei replied that Master Hao had been coveting the things in his hand for a long time, and he was not willing to do so before. Give.

At that time, Chen Chen was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and then the two hugged and kissed for a long time.

...cough cough, let's get down to business.

At that moment, Chen Chen went on to say: "The house is a big deal, besides, Master Hao is also busy there, we have to cooperate with his time, we must not delay it."

Li's attention was instantly attracted, "Is this all settled?"

"It's confirmed." Chen Chen said: "So we have to hurry up and deal with other things, otherwise when Master Hao comes over and sees that we are too busy to take care of them, they may not be willing to do this job. "

Chen Xiangwu said directly: "Of course, the masters who repair the cement house are hard to find, so we have to follow them."

Chen Chen nodded, "Master Hao is not easy to make an appointment, and we are all busy and really hard. I don't think it is necessary to use our bodies to catch up with the goods; the last point..."

After a pause, Chen Chen said: "Now everyone in the village knows that our Chen family has made money. Although they don't say it, they probably don't feel very happy in their hearts. Even if we have to collect peppers in the next year, they will feel a little uncomfortable now, so they don't like it. How about giving them some income by taking advantage of this opportunity, earning more or less money from us, and blocking some gossip."

As soon as the words fell, Li sneered, "Isn't it just that you are not happy and uncomfortable, and you almost let me say it in my ears."
