Chapter 74 Intense Preparations
There are fifty places available this time, which is quite sufficient.
The village chief still considered it again and again.
You can earn five yuan after working for a day and a half. Even Liu Yu and Zeng Juhua from the Shen family's old house were tempted by this clever job.
I want to sign up together!
They say that it is better to give the money to your family than to others because it is the same as making money for others. After all, you can't write the word "sink" twice with one stroke.
The villagers looked down on their shamelessness and went straight to find Xu Xiuzhi.
The old people in the village were not polite in their words. If they had anything to say, they would just say, "I say, what's wrong with your two daughters-in-law? They knew clearly that you and Shen Qingyue didn't get along, but they still tried to get close to you. What a joke."
Liu Yu and Zeng Juhua told Xu Xiuzhi that they were going.
Xu Xiuzhi neither said yes nor no.
The daughter-in-law got over it by understanding the intention.
But if someone brought it up, Xu Xiuzhi would lose face and said with a sullen face, "Why are you running there when you can't even do your own housework?"
The woman who had come to complain to Xu Xiuzhi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. She continued to exchange pleasantries: "You've finished building your new house so quickly! I was just telling people last time that you might be too impatient to build it yourself without hiring anyone."
There aren't that many rich people in the village, so the number of houses they can build is limited.
Originally, the new house in the Shen family’s old house could also be ranked.
But when everyone saw Shen Qingyue's new house and then looked at his, they were a little dissatisfied. It was just a superficial compliment, not from the heart at all!
This house has always been Xu Xiuzhi's greatest pride. But now that others are praising it, Xu Xiuzhi's enthusiasm has waned.
She felt bitter. Building this house had brought starvation. Even she, half buried in the dirt, owed five hundred yuan.
After the onlookers left, Xu Xiuzhi found the two daughters-in-law and said, "Isn't that shameful enough? The elders are begging for food from the younger ones?"
"Mom, who said that?" Zeng Juhua immediately realized what had happened. That wasn't what her mother-in-law had said before she left.
Xu Xiuzhi said, "No one said anything, just go back and shovel away the chicken manure!"
Xu Xiuzhi finally figured it out. Now her two daughters-in-law were in debt from building a house, so they started to hide their secrets. Even if they made money, they wouldn't hand over a single cent to the public.
She can't make any money, so if that's the case, no one should make any money.
Zeng Juhua didn't dare to blame her mother-in-law, but she returned home angrily. Seeing her husband still plastering the house, she said, "Shen Jiancheng, what's wrong with your mother? She pushes all the money-making work to others. She's getting old, and her brain is not working well anymore.
Our family still owes over 500 yuan, and I can’t live with you for another day.”
Shen Jiancheng ignored her and continued plastering. Building a house was a good thing, but their family was different. They quarreled every day because of the house.
He's used to it.
…
Finally, more than fifty people were selected, and the village chief said, "You must work hard."
Everyone agreed. Among them were men and women. The village chief wanted to go, but was afraid that if something happened in the village, he would be hard to find, so he gave up.
But the village chief found someone to take care of it.
Everyone didn't take it seriously after hearing about it, but when they saw the person, they were dumbfounded. It turned out to be Liu Quan, the village's tacitly-appointed successor to the next village chief!
The village chief has been personally leading him for several years and he also holds a position in the village. Sometimes he goes to meetings in the county and is the one who goes with him.
Liu Quan is a quiet man, but he is meticulous in his work. Young people don't care about feelings.
Seeing that the village chief had sent Liu Quan so formally, everyone behaved themselves and no one dared to act rashly.
After everyone gathered, they started sharpening the sticks.
They were grinding their skewers until sparks were almost coming out of them. They also bought a variety of vegetables. Shen Qingyue didn't even bother with the lunch boxes anymore and started making her secret barbecue sauce.
Everyone was busy with their heads down.
Shen Qingyue waited until all the pliers were sharpened before washing them all with water.
…
The next day at noon, Shen Qingyue was only responsible for cooking. As for selling goods at noon, she entrusted Aunt Dahua to help. She had to go back to prepare!
After processing the freshly slaughtered beef.
Xiao Liu specially found a car for him, after all, the total cost of the things was more than 10,000 yuan.
Shen Qingyue had never seen so much meat before. The meat was piled up like a mountain.
After returning to the village, I rolled up my sleeves and started working, cutting the beef into small pieces and then skewering them.
Ten people cut the meat, forty people skewer it. Even that's not enough to feed the people.
Shen Qingyue had prepared other things, like vegetable rolls, grilled heart tubes, and five hundred small crucian carp. Anyone could tell this was a massive undertaking!
Everyone present had a serious expression and worked very seriously.
Shen Qingyue placed the skewers of meat in the freezer.
There is a rotary button in the lower right corner of this freezer, which can be adjusted to refrigerate or freeze. The capacity of 600 liters is huge. After skewering a large pot, put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
It won’t be used until tomorrow night, so the meat won’t be stale by then.
This extra-large freezer makes the villagers jealous.
"I heard this refrigerator works just like anything you put in it. My sister-in-law has a small one at home. She's been showing it off for years. But it doesn't have so many functions!"
"Yueyue's is the best. Look how much it can hold. I just put several large pots of meat in it to make a base. I don't know how much it can hold."
"This freezer is very valuable. Not only us, but even in the county, there are not many people who have this kind of refrigerator."
"Shen Qingyue is really capable. It hasn't been long since the family split, but she has already built up such a large business."
Now everyone in the village speaks highly of Shen Qingyue. They have recruited several people in waves. The salary is paid in cash. It's all real money!
Three thousand pounds of meat were dried for a long time, but the weight did not decrease.
When my eldest sister and the others came back in the evening, we helped to continue the work. With many hands, there was strength, and we finally finished dressing until late at night.
The next day at noon, Shen Qingyue directly found a truck.
They loaded up the large freezer, along with other skewers, sauces, and flour, and brought them to the county along with fifty people from the village.
Seeing the car actually driving towards the steel plant, the villagers were excited.
I never thought that I would be able to visit the steel plant in my lifetime. It would be enough for me to brag about it to the villagers for a whole year when I go back.
Four men were found among the fifty people to burn charcoal.
The charcoal must be cooked before use, otherwise the charcoal will not burn fully and the skewers will be smoky.
The remaining twenty people asked Shen Qingyue to teach them how to barbecue.
It's actually very simple. Just brush the meat with oil, turn it over frequently to avoid burning it. Then sprinkle the seasonings in the order shown.
The seasonings are all specially prepared by Shen Qingyue. Follow the order and you can't go wrong.
