Chapter 58 I Can't Stop
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the village chief said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. Shen Qingyue has received a big order from the state-owned factory.
If anyone in our village has green leafy vegetables, I will buy them for one cent per pound.
Potatoes are five cents a pound. I'm hiring fifty more people. The pay is one dollar a day. Anyone interested can come and sign up."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, those in the village who didn't grow greens in their gardens slapped their thighs and said, "Oh, I grow them every year, but not this year!"
"One dollar a day is a lot of money."
But there are more than 200 households in the village. Now is the slack season for farming, and everyone has nothing to do, so they all want to do this job!
Someone was also calculating below, one dollar a day, fifty people would be fifty dollars. Could Shen Qingyue afford so much money?
Even the Shen family had to borrow money from everywhere to build a house in the old house. Shen Qingyue then split up the family and started building houses and doing business. Now he is even spending money to hire people. He is amazing.
The village chief said, "We need those who can work efficiently. I will supervise them personally. If you don't work efficiently, you will be kicked out directly!"
The villagers said, "I'm not afraid of working."
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I may not be good at other things, but I'm a top-notch worker."
The village chief said, "If you're interested, come and sign up with me. If you're not selected, don't be discouraged. It's a good season now. Let's see if anyone has space in their vegetable garden. There's still time to replant some."
It ended quickly.
Xu Xiuzhi went home with a gloomy face.
Zeng Juhua was a little curious about how Shen Qingyue made her money. Just as she was about to stay, Xu Xiuzhi pulled her and she stumbled.
Xu Xiuzhi said, "Let's go! Don't you think this isn't embarrassing enough?"
Zeng Juhua took a deep breath and had to leave here with Xu Xiuzhi for the time being.
Aunt Dahua was chosen, as were Aunt Yun's daughter and daughter-in-law. And a few elderly people in the village!
More than fifty people were selected.
The village chief asked the old man to be the supervisor and weigh the goods on site.
The people were divided into three groups: some picked the vegetables, and some washed them. Washing was done at least three times. The elderly inspected the washed items.
The old people in the village are all very stubborn and stick to their own opinions. They are of seniority and are well-versed in everything. If you ask them to be supervisors, they will check more carefully than anyone else.
Shen Qingyue weighed the goods and paid them.
More than 200 households in the village purchased more than 500 kilograms of green vegetables.
I also ordered 300 kilograms of dried tofu from the tofu shop. I also soaked the kelp, noodles, and wide rice noodles in an orderly manner.
When Chen Mei came back, the whole village was mobilized.
Chen Mei directly accompanied Shen Qingyue to make chili oil, seasoning water, etc.
With the addition of more than fifty people, things became a lot easier.
At this rate, it would be no problem to produce 10,000 copies in one night.
After Shen Qingyue prepared the seasoning water, Chen Mei, Sister Ying and Sister Chunhua prepared it at the same time.
She prepared eight thousand spicy and normal flavors. Shen Qingyue made the remaining special flavors herself.
Fortunately, she had a bicycle and could walk quickly. She ran to almost every store in the county and bought all the plastic bags!
The villagers gathered together to work. After washing, the products had to be inspected by an elderly quality inspector. Only after they were ready could they be sorted and bagged.
The villagers haven't been working together for a long time.
When the village chief passed by, many people stopped him and talked to him: "Shen Qingyue is really good."
The village chief said, "Yes, the most important leader on the radio said that we should let some people get rich first, and then lead others."
Everyone was moved when they heard the village chief say this.
When Shen Qingyue split up the family, no one could help.
Now they are asked to be taken care of by others.
"We must do our best. This isn't just the Shen girl's problem; it's a test from the county for our village."
"Of course not."
Villagers rarely leave the village and have little communication with the outside world. Malatang is a window for them to communicate with the outside world.
Besides, they don’t lose out. It’s only one dollar a day, and they don’t feel tired after washing and tiring.
We can also sell some side dishes.
"I think so. The girl from the Shen family is really something. Look at Mrs. Li's son, Uncle Zhuangzi, who now picks up and drops off Shen Qingyue every day. I heard he makes quite a bit of money every month."
In the past, they still had stereotypes and thought that little girls would not be able to make any waves.
Now look, the whole village is mobilized!
Just as Aunt Yun sent her sister-in-law away, a few old neighbors came to see her: "Hey, do you still have the seeds of those little green vegetables?"
In the village, the best vegetables are picked from the previous year to save for seeds. They are carefully selected and all are good seeds.
Bok choy was not very popular before, but now it has become a hot commodity.
Everyone knows that Aunt Yun loves to eat and grow, so she bought some this year.
Aunt Yun hadn't expected all these people to come ask for seeds, so she said, "No more. I replanted a crop this year, and three waves of people just came asking for seeds, so I gave them all away. I told you not to come earlier."
Asking for seeds from each other in the village is not a big deal, but there are so many people coming.
Aunt Yun's neighbor asked, "What should we do?" She had been too embarrassed to ask for it before. She had made a big decision to come. She ended up being late, and she couldn't help but feel regretful. She wished she had come earlier.
Aunt Yun said, "You can go to the grocery store and buy seeds by the pound there. Although the germination rate is average, it's not as good as the ones you pick at home. But it's better than nothing!"
Besides, rapeseed is cheap, and one pound of rapeseed is the price of one pound of grain.
"Okay." This was just agreed upon.
The neighbor's little daughter came running over, breathlessly saying, "Mom, hurry home and fence off the land. All the wasteland outside has been taken over."
Every household has a small vegetable garden, but now there are people harvesting it, and it is profitable. You can make more money by enclosing an extra piece of land!
Aunt Yun also became anxious when she heard this.
She had fenced off an area when she was planting radishes. Now, seeing that the whole village was busy planting vegetables, she suddenly felt that her fenced-off area was too conservative, and quickly went to ask the village chief for leave.
It only takes half a day's money, and she needs to grab the territory quickly.
No matter how big the vegetable garden is, it will always be too little when it comes time to use it.
Shen Qingyue worked until after one in the evening. Finally, she had prepared ten thousand servings of spicy hot pot.
Tired to death, the eldest sister fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. But Shen Qingyue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
After deducting the cost from 10,000 copies, you can make 1,500 yuan!
This money is too important to Shen Qingyue.
The next day, two ox carts started transporting the goods early in the morning and it took several trips to complete the transportation.
When Director Jiang heard that Shen Qingyue made 10,000 servings of spicy hot pot in one night, he was immediately overjoyed. He thought the employees would be happy to distribute them.
Sure enough, 10,000 copies were distributed, providing an explanation to the neighbors and friends of the factory employees.
But Malatang is so delicious. After eating it once, how can those relatives and friends be satisfied?
So the next day, Director Jiang of the Workers' Union was stunned by the ten thousand new Malatang petitions. How should he tell Shen Qingyue?
I thought I could give Miss Shen a few days' rest, but who would have thought that since she opened this special window, she couldn't stop at all.
