Chapter 114 Stay
As soon as Liu Dapeng saw Chu Xuan, he stepped forward quickly. "Chu Xuan, I haven't come to thank you for saving me last time. It's mainly because I'm short of money and don't have money to buy you a gift. I'm embarrassed to come to your house, but I have to repay the favor, and I can help..."
Chu Xuan was silent.
Just when Liu Dapeng thought Chu Xuan wanted to chase him away but was too embarrassed to say it out loud, Chu Xuan said seriously, "Go to town and buy two water tanks, then come back to chop wood and fetch water. The wages are two yuan, and overtime pay is extra. If you agree, start working. If not, go home!"
Although Widow Niu is very strong, she is definitely not able to bear carrying water, chopping wood, pulling and skinning fish for more than ten hours in a row.
Find her a helper to share the burden so that she won’t get too tired.
Liu Dapeng quickly explained, "I'm here to work for free, I don't want any wages."
Chu Xuan pretended to be serious. "If you don't want to be paid, you can't come into my house to help. Go away!"
Liu Dapeng had no choice but to say, "Okay! I want my wages. I'll go to the village to coordinate a tractor and go to the town to buy a water tank."
"Come with me inside to get the money for the water jar."
"good."
Liu Dapeng had no money in his pocket, so he took the money and left obediently.
By this time, Widow Niu had already delivered two loads of firewood, and the two water tanks were full of water.
When Widow Niu heard that Chu Xuan was going to pay Liu Dapeng, she was not unhappy at all, because her wages were paid according to the amount of work, and the more she worked, the more she earned.
Even if ten more people come, it will not affect her income.
I am a little worried about the quality of the firewood. After all, it has rained for more than ten days in a row. Even though it is sunny now, the firewood is still a little wet.
This will be spread out in the yard to dry.
"Xiao Xuan, I have a suggestion."
"Aunt Niu, you say."
Chu Xuan listened attentively.
Widow Niu pointed to the firewood in the yard and said, "These firewoods can only be used as well as the old ones after they are dried. I'm sure they won't be dried today. Can we collect some dry firewood from the villagers first?"
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement. "I'll go collect it right away. However, you'll still need to continue chopping wood. We'll have to work overtime to grill fish fillets for the next ten days, so store as much as you can now."
Widow Niu readily agreed, "Okay."
Chu Xuan went out again, circling the village and shouting, "Buying dry firewood, one cent a load. The Chu Xuan family is buying dry firewood! One cent..."
Not long after I got home, villagers came to sell firewood.
Most of them were properly stored dry firewood, and there were a few wet firewoods that were rejected by Chu Xuan.
In less than two hours, more than twenty loads of firewood were collected.
When Widow Niu went to chop firewood at the foot of the mountain, she met Qiu Zhi, Qi Hong's father-in-law.
Qiu Zhi teased, "Chu Xuan is collecting firewood. Are you going to be unemployed soon?"
Because of Qi Hong's incident, the Qiu family can't stand Chu Xuan being well off, nor can they stand seeing anyone who works with Chu Xuan being well off.
Widow Niu raised the axe in her hand and said, "Chu Xuan told me to continue chopping wood and she will pay my wages and overtime pay as usual!"
It's just to make people envious and jealous.
Who made him say such sarcastic things?
She didn't go out on the day Qi Hong stole Chu Xuan's fish. She only heard about it later. If she had been there, she would have scolded Qi Hong to death.
The Qiu family not only did not think that Qi Hong had done anything wrong, they also believed that whatever was in Qi Hong's basket belonged to their enemies, and that it was Chu Xuan who had stolen their fish.
Only the enemy family could come up with such a twisted logic.
Qiu Zhi couldn't convince Widow Niu, so he wanted to fight her, but he couldn't beat her, not to mention that Widow Niu had an axe in her hand, so he had to leave in embarrassment.
However, I had a plan in mind.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Miao Dacui and Qin Mahua brought their two sisters-in-law from their mother's families over for Chu Xuan to take a look.
If Chu Xuan agrees, he will stay and kill the fish.
Chu Xuan had memories from her previous life, so she naturally knew that they were all good at killing fish.
"Aunt Qin, Aunt Miao, I trust you two. The people you brought here are definitely not wrong. The wages for butchering fish are the same as yours. If you work overtime, you will get overtime pay and meals. As for the steps and requirements for butchering fish, I'll have to trouble you two to talk to the other aunts."
Qin Mahua and Miao Dacui were so happy to hear this!
Almost at the same time, they patted their chests to ensure that they had taught well.
Gao Meijuan, Fu Qing, Hua Daling and Liu Zhaodi also rushed over.
After a while, Widow Niu came in pulling a cart full of skinned fish, and everyone started to get busy.
At the beginning, ten people killed the fish and processed the fish livers, and Chu Xuan was responsible for washing and marinating the fish.
Chu Feng lit the oven.
Liu Dapeng continued to chop wood and fetch water.
Clear division of labor.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Ping brought over 2,000 kilograms of skinned fish.
Together with the 7,000 kilograms that Widow Niu pulled from Li Tong’s stall, the total was 9,000 kilograms.
Chu Xuan didn’t think it was too much. The more skinned fish he bought recently, the better.
However, she also told everyone that they only needed to work overtime tonight to kill 7,000 kilograms of fish, and the rest could be dealt with tomorrow.
Even though there were 10 people killing the fish together, it still took until 10:30 pm to finish. They also helped with the marinating and were not ready to leave until 11:30 pm.
Looking at the pots of marinated fish in the yard, everyone was tired but happy.
Chu Xuan settled the wages and overtime pay on the spot and told everyone to come at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Today, Chu Xuan paid more than 230 yuan in wages and overtime pay, but he didn't feel sorry at all.
After seeing everyone off, Chu Xuan followed her younger brother to rest while she continued to grill the fish fillets.
Chu Feng felt sorry for his sister, but he also knew that she was right. They couldn't both endure it, and they had to take turns to rest.
At five in the morning, he got up to take his sister's place in watching the oven.
Chu Xuan only slept for two and a half hours before waking up.
Boss Yuan's driver will come to pick up the grilled fish fillets soon, and she needs to pack them up with her younger brother.
At 8:30 in the morning, Boss Yuan's driver drove over and gave Chu Xuan 3,200 yuan at one time. He originally wanted to take away 500 kilograms of grilled fish fillets, but when he saw that there was still some left, and thinking of Boss Yuan's instructions, he persuaded Chu Xuan to take away 800 kilograms.
He also said that Boss Yuan is now distributing goods on a large scale outside the province, and 2,000 kilograms of grilled fish fillets per month may not be enough. If more orders are needed, he will bring cash next time he comes and make an advance reservation.
Chu Xuan didn't expect that his grilled fish fillets would be so popular outside the province.
Fortunately, I agreed with Boss Hou to come and pick up the goods in the afternoon, so I still have time.
After seeing off Boss Yuan’s truck, Chu Xuan and Chu Feng simply ate some steamed buns soaked in hot water, a sea duck egg each, and continued to work.
Before nine o'clock, everyone rushed over to work.
Widow Niu came over with a cart of skinned fish.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Meijuan stopped killing the fish. Seeing that Chu Xuan was too tired to open her eyes, she felt distressed and sent her to rest.
Chu Xuan really couldn't hold on any longer, so he handed the job of watching the oven to Gao Meijuan and went back to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep.
I slept until 2:30 in the afternoon.
Everyone worked in an orderly manner. 500 kilograms of grilled fish fillets had been packed and were just waiting for the boss's truck to arrive.
Boss Yuan is distributing goods outside the province, so it's no problem for him to have large quantities of goods. What Chu Xuan can't understand is that Boss Hou is different from Boss Yuan. He only distributes goods in the airport area, so how come his sales are so huge?
I'll wait for his driver to come over and ask him about it.
Watching Mu Chenze coming from a distance.
Even though we were far apart, I could still see that the guy looked unhappy. What happened?
When he came closer, Chu Xuan caught the anger in his eyes and took the initiative to ask, "Who are you angry with?"
