Chapter 116 Solving the Problem
Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't expect that his grilled fish fillet workshop would push the selling price of skinned fish to a new high.
Over the years, the price of skinned fish has never exceeded one cent per pound.
If she can't wait and buys the skinned fish at this price today, the price will be even higher in the future.
Don't tolerate those people.
"Li Lin, please tell your dad to buy from his friend. As long as the quality is guaranteed and the freshness is guaranteed, I can wait. I also plan to sign a supply agreement with his friend and set the purchase price and quantity in advance. I'll definitely pay your dad a generous commission."
Let those who are raising prices go sell their skinned fish somewhere else.
"good."
Li Lin did not stop, after all, the stalls at the dock were busy.
Everyone in the yard had a flash of anger in their eyes.
No one expected that the Qiu family would attack at this time.
Chu Xuan went to the village office to find Wang Depin.
She explained her purpose, saying she would no longer hire people to chop firewood from the mountains, but would instead buy from the village collective, paying the market price per load. As for the water bill, she knew that even if she stopped people from collecting it, the water would flow away anyway, so she wouldn't pay.
Wang Depin was a smart man. He immediately promised the villagers that the village collective would send people to chop and sell firewood in the future. The money collected would be temporarily kept by the village office and distributed as dividends to the villagers at the end of the year.
The people gathered around the village office and then dispersed.
However, Chu Xuan also realized that grilling fish fillets with firewood was not a long-term solution, and suggested that Wang Depin use charcoal to grill fish fillets in the future grilled fish fillet factory, so that the quality of the grilled fish would be more stable.
Wang Depin naturally accepted the suggestion, and asked Chu Xuan to experiment with grilling fish fillets with charcoal next month. The village would provide a certain subsidy.
Chu Xuan readily agreed.
On this day, due to the limit on the number of skinned fish, Qin Mahua and her colleagues received their wages and left work before dark.
What Chu Xuan didn't expect was that they didn't go home, but ran to the area where the Qiu family lived and cursed them.
When the men of the enemy family saw that it was a group of women, they encouraged their own women to go out and curse at each other.
They were no match for Gao Meijuan and the others and were scolded harshly.
By chance, a few families came with carts selling skinned fish.
The enemy woman is showing off deliberately.
Gao Meijuan and the others then realized that the Qiu family had purchased the skinned fish at a high price and had prepared more than a hundred loads of firewood in advance to prepare grilled fish fillets.
They didn't have time to continue arguing and went to report to Chu Xuan.
After Chu Xuan learned about this, she reassured everyone not to worry. The Qiu family didn't have the recipe for marinating fish fillets, and they couldn't control the heat well. They couldn't sell it for a high price, and the costs were high. They wouldn't make much money, and it wouldn't affect their own business...
At seven o'clock the next morning, Li Tong and his friends came to deliver 6,000 kilograms of skinned fish, all of which were of good quality.
Chu Xuan settled the bill on the spot and agreed to 4,000 kilograms per day for the next half month.
With this source of supply and Ji Ping delivering fish every day, Chu Xuan was not afraid that the villagers would raise the price.
Chu Feng was just about to go out to call Gao Meijuan and the others to come over to start work when they were already at the door.
There are still 10 people responsible for killing the fish.
At the dock, Li Tong would never accept skinned fish that was priced higher than 4.5 cents per pound.
The Qiu family hasn’t used up all the skinned fish they bought at one cent per pound yesterday, so they won’t buy any more today.
This forced villagers who wanted to sell the skinned fish at a high price to go elsewhere.
As a result, the purchase price elsewhere was only 4 cents per pound.
No longer listen to the nonsense of the enemy family.
The next day, he tried to sell the skinned fish he caught to Li Tong for 4.5 cents, but Li Tong replied, "The price of skinned fish has dropped today, 4 cents per catty. Chu Xuan has already signed a supply contract with my friend, so it doesn't matter to me whether I accept it or not. If it's good quality, I'll take some."
When they heard this, they dared not say anything more and sold it to Li Tong for four cents per pound.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 20th. Chu Xuan had packed more than a thousand kilograms of grilled fish fillets in advance and was just waiting for the car hired by Boss Yuan to come and pick them up.
The agreed time was around 8:30 in the morning, but by 9 o'clock there was still no sign of the truck.
Chu Xuan wondered if something had happened. Had she forgotten where her house was and taken the wrong road?
I said hello to my younger brother and planned to wait at the village entrance.
As soon as he left the house, Gao Meijuan came towards him, holding a wooden stick and looking anxious. "Xiao Xuan, come with me to the village entrance! There's an accident! The truck arrived a long time ago, and the driver was blackmailed by the enemy family. Your Grandpa Wang is not in the village right now, so I'll go with you..."
"good!"
Chu Xuan picked up the shoulder pole and ran towards the village head. Although he was quite fat, he had been taking Chinese medicine and exercising regularly recently, so running was effortless for him.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at the village entrance.
Qiu Daguang's father, Qiu Zhi, was lying in front of the truck, shouting, "My leg is broken! It hurts! My leg is broken! We can't let this driver get away!"
The driver standing nearby was furious. "Get out of the way! My car didn't even hit you!"
"You just bumped into me! A lot of villagers are watching!"
Several other members of the Qiu family beside Qiu Daguang spoke up one after another.
"I can prove that you bumped into this uncle!"
"I can prove it too!"
"My leg is broken, so I have to pay at least 500!"
The driver was a little confused.
Chu Xuan said sternly, "You, the Qiu family, staged this all on your own. If you want to blackmail us, you're out of luck."
Only then did the driver realize that the so-called villagers Qiu Zhi mentioned were his family.
Chu Xuan stepped forward, grabbed Qiu Zhi by the collar, and slid him aside, putting him down. He said apologetically to the driver, "I'm sorry to have delayed you. Please drive to my house to pick up the goods first, and I'll take care of this."
The driver looked grateful and said, "Thank you! I wasn't smart enough and fell into his trap. I kept you waiting! I'll drive over right away."
Open the car door and get in the driver's seat.
The Qiu family wanted to stop the car, but were stopped by Chu Xuan's carrying pole and Gao Meijuan's wooden stick.
At this moment, Widow Niu, Qin Mahua, Mu Chenze and Liu Dapeng also rushed over and subdued the Qiu family in a few moves.
Qiu Zhi yelled, "I was really hit by a car! We can't let the driver go! Everyone, come and see! I was hit by a car, and Chu Xuan also beat me! Everyone, come and judge!"
The crowd at the entrance of the village grew larger and larger, talking a lot and blocking the way for the truck.
Gao Meijuan hadn't been the village chief's wife all these years for nothing. "Everyone, let me tell you what happened. I saw it with my own eyes! Qiu Zhi stopped the truck from a distance. The truck stopped three meters away from him. Qiu Zhi asked the driver to buy his grilled fish fillets, but the driver refused. So Qiu Zhi rolled under the front of the truck and lay down, hugging his knees and trying to extort money."
Qiu Zhi stubbornly said, "Don't listen to her nonsense! Don't forget that she and Chu Xuan are as close as brothers! The driver was going to Chu Xuan's house to pick up some goods! She must be on his side! I was just hit by a car!"
The Qiu family echoed, "That's right! We can all prove it!"
Chu Xuan pointed at Qiu Zhi's knee and laughed sarcastically, "Did you hit your knees?"
Qiu Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
"Then write down right there where the truck hit you, sign and put your fingerprints on it! I'll be in charge of negotiating compensation!"
When Chu Xuan said this, the Qiu family thought that she had no way to deal with Qiu Zhi. One of them took out a pen and paper, handed it to Qiu Zhi, and urged him to write quickly.
Qiu Zhi also thought so and wrote on the paper that the truck driver hit his right knee with his car.
After seeing him sign, Chu Xuan took out the ink pad he carried with him and said, "Press your fingerprint!"
She had prepared this ink in advance for the driver to sign and fingerprint the receipt.
