selling chili peppers in chronology

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

For the next period of time, the family was busy pounding chili noodles, making fermented soybeans, and digging the ground, but these tasks were not the heaviest. The heaviest tasks were the planting of spring wheat and yams, and the raising of pepper seedlings.

Although these tasks are all done in previous years, they are actually a lot of bits and pieces. People in the family are busy from morning to night, and the leisure of the New Year has disappeared without a trace.

The village is full of busy people.

After finally planting the spring wheat and yams, those who went to school also started school.

This time, Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an went by themselves, but it's different from the past. Now the two of them can go to school by bicycle, and whoever rides can take others with them. Although the road is not easy to walk, the bicycles are small, look It is not impossible to pick a smooth place along the road.

Because of the bicycles, Chen Bei and Zhou Pingan spent much less time commuting to and from school every day than before, and the two of them could relax a lot.

Originally, Chen Bei didn't really want to go to school by bicycle. No, it's not that he didn't want to. No one can resist the charm of bicycles these days, but it's because bicycles are expensive things that they dare not ride them. The bike was broken or stolen while at school.

However, Chen Chen originally bought a bicycle to make it easier for the two of them to go to school. After all, walking from the village to the town and going back and forth every day is really hard work. It is not good to have this time to study and rest or help the family. okay?

Chen Chen insisted, and Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue also felt sorry for the children. Chen Bei, who had no resistance to bicycles, couldn't hold on, so he and Zhou Pingan went to school by bicycle in the end.

That's really envious of a bunch of people.

Chen Bei came back and said, "They can't believe that we have bicycles. They are all around to see after class. If I don't watch them all the time, they will get started!"

Chen Chen asked: "Then did you let them ride?"

"Give it up." Chen Bei scratched his head and said, "If I don't let them ride, they can just watch over there all the time, and they all talk nicely and beg me all the time, so I can't help but give them each a ride." a little while."

Chen Chen was amused, "Can everyone have their turn at this hour?"

Chen Bei shook his head resolutely, "It's not my turn."

Liu Dongxue asked: "Then what should I do?"

Zhou Pingan interjected, "Only let people with good relationships ride. If they have bad relationships, they will definitely not be allowed to touch it."

"That's right." Chen Bei said, "They are not close to us. If they broke the bicycle, they would definitely not admit it."

Chen Chen said: "Then it seems that the two of you will become the most popular people in your school in the future."

Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an laughed.

The two of them are not very old, although they usually look sensible, but in fact their temperaments are not yet settled, and with the vanity that every individual will have, it is normal for the two of them to be unable to resist the joy of being popular.

However, Chen Chen still warned, "The more you are at this time, the more you have to learn to look at people. Maybe some people make friends with you for the sake of benefits, but in fact, it is often those people who are most likely to betray you."

Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an were not fools either, so if they understood what Chen Chen meant, they should be honest, but whether they could really do it would be discussed later.

It wasn't time to plant rice seedlings in the paddy field yet, but the fermented soybeans had already been completely made, so Chen Chen found a less busy day and called Chen Ming and Chen Qian to go with him to the county to buy them.

Chen Ming asked: "Xiaochen, are you going to buy all the things for making black beans and chili this time?"

"It's best to buy them all at once." Chen Chen said, "But whether you can buy them all depends on whether they have so many goods."

Chen Qian said: "Vegetable oil should not be enough."

Chen Chen: "Let's have a look first before we talk."

Half of the dried autumn peppers from last year have been pounded, and the rest has to wait for the pepper noodles to be used before continuing to pound them, because there is really no place to put them.

What Chen Chen thought was that it would be best to directly make all the dried chili peppers into black bean chili peppers, so that he would not have to worry about these things in the future, and the family members could concentrate on other things.

However, it is still unknown whether it can be done all at once, mainly because of the material problem.

The three arrived in the county, then went straight to the department store, and saw...

Well, there is indeed not much vegetable oil.

Chen Ming saw that there was not enough vegetable oil, and asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Chen scanned around, "Ask a staff member."

Chen Qian understood a little bit, "Ask about their inventory?"

Chen Chen hummed.

The three found the staff in the department store. When the staff heard that they wanted to buy more vegetable oil, they immediately became enthusiastic. Unfortunately, after checking the inventory, there was not much vegetable oil left. Chen Chen reckoned that these were only It can make a small amount of black bean chili.

Chen Chen asked, "When will your next shipment arrive?"

Staff: "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

While the staff was asking, Chen Qian became worried, "Fourth brother, what if their vegetable oil doesn't come in all the time?"

Chen Chen said calmly, "Then we have to find another way."

Chen Ming suggested, "Go to another place to buy?"

Chen Qian said: "In the whole county, this department store has the most rare things. I haven't seen any other stores like vegetable oil. If the department store really doesn't come in, then we can only go to other cities. Take a look."

Just as Chen Ming was about to say something, he saw the staff member coming over just now, and abruptly changed the words that came to his throat, "How is it?"

"I'm very sorry." The staff member said, "We don't know when the next batch of vegetable oil will arrive. There is no specific news."

Chen Chen frowned slightly.

Chen Ming and Chen Qian also looked unhappy.

The staff looked at their ugly faces, hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you still want these goods that you have now?"

"Yes." Chen Chen said, "We are from the village, can you deliver the goods?"

The staff member asked: "Is it the village below this county?"

Chen Chen nodded, "Yes."

"That's fine." The staff said with a smile, "The goods you bought can be sent to the village in a small truck. Which village is it?"

Chen Chen: "Pingba Village."

……

Chen Chen explained the address clearly, then checked out the goods, paid the bill and took them to the department store to open the list. Before leaving, he thought about it and asked, "When will you deliver the goods?"

The staff member said: "The small truck has not shipped today, and it will be delivered after loading the vegetable oil."

Chen Chen asked: "We still have to buy some other things, can you wait for us a little bit? Because there are a lot of things, I would like to trouble you to help bring them there."

Staff: "Yes."

Chen Chen: "Thank you."

After talking about things, the three brothers went out of the department store and went to the place where the spices were sold, and then bought out all the spices in stock.

Oh, and only those spices they need.

But this can't hide the shocked eyes of several spice sellers.

The three of them went to the department store with the spices. On the way, Chen Chen said, "I have to go to the glass factory and the printing factory later, and the truck can pick up one person, why don't you go back with the people from the department store first? "

"I'll go." Chen Ming said: "The vegetable oil cost so much money to buy. Although I wrote the list, I still don't feel relieved. I will go with them."

Chen Qian didn't argue, "Then third brother."

Chen Chen naturally had no objection, "Okay."

The people in the department store have no problem with Chen Ming taking the co-pilot and going back to the village with them. Anyway, the driver is the only one driving to deliver the goods, and the co-pilot is also vacant, so he doesn’t need to find a buyer to go there together. road.

After loading the things into the car and leaving, Chen Chen and Chen Qian went to the glass factory to order a batch of glass jars, and then went to the printing factory to customize the label of "Chen's Black Bean Chili Sauce". In order not to come to the county to pick up the labels, Today, the two have to wait for the label to be ready, and then take the second bus back to the village.

After finishing his business, Chen Chen originally wanted to go to the snack street that sold bad peppers to see the current situation there, but was stopped by Chen Qian.

"Fourth brother, let me tell you something."

Chen Chen asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Qian replied: "Earlier, a brother in my county told me that someone was going to sell a house. Later, I found time to come to the county to check the condition of the house. I think the house is not bad."

Chen Chen was surprised, "What kind of house?"

With one hand in his pocket, Chen Qian looked a little sloppy, "The concrete house of more than 100 square meters has only been repaired for two years, and it looks fairly new."

Chen Chen asked, "Where is it?"

Chen Qian: "Over there at the agricultural machinery factory."

Chen Chen: "Where we sold the bad peppers before?"

"No." Chen Qian said, "It's in the opposite direction to the snack street, near the back door of the agricultural machinery factory, and it probably takes only a quarter of an hour to walk to the agricultural machinery factory."

Chen Chen thought about it based on Chen Qian's narration, and he probably knew where it was, "Is it a shop?"

"It's a shop." Chen Qian said to be more specific, "There are quite a few stalls selling things around, but those who want to sell houses are not doing business themselves, they just live there."

Chen Chen asked, "Why does the master want to sell the house?"

"There are too many people in the family to live in, and some people they know just want to sell a house in their hands, so they want to sell the house and buy another one." After a pause, Chen Qian said: "Of course, people What I told me was that the house was for sale because I didn’t want to live in it, and the news I mentioned above was told by my friends in the county. house."

The obvious reason - to sell the small one because of the need to raise money to buy the big house.

Chen Chen felt pretty good, "Let's go and have a look."
