Chapter 152 Chili is on Fire
They made a full one hundred and twenty-five dollars yesterday.
The village chief was shocked. If they continued at this rate, they would soon be able to buy a tractor.
They could earn more than 100 yuan from selling vegetables, which was something they could never have imagined before.
The old professor, being the old professor that he is, created an ecosystem that cycles through the four seasons. Some evergreen vegetables continue to grow to ensure a stable supply.
The village chief immediately allocated another five acres of land to the old professors for production research.
…
The workers' union of the spring factory went to talk to the logistics staff early in the morning: "Recently, many people have asked why vegetable vendors go specifically to the steel plant. They also want to eat vegetables."
I hope the logistics department can solve this problem. Although their spring factory is not as good as the steel factory, we are all factory employees, and the monthly salary difference is not that big.
They can all afford to buy vegetables from Dayu Village.
Even though no one likes to eat vegetables in summer, when a dish is out of stock in winter, everyone will rack their brains to eat it.
All departments in the factory are well developed, especially the logistics department, so how can people in our factory envy others?
The steel mill and the spring factory are so close to each other that they are competing with each other.
The pressure is on their logistics department.
The logistics officer of the spring factory said, "They can put it wherever they want. It's not easy to bring up this matter!"
The guild said, "If that doesn't work, the guild will buy it back first and then sell it to everyone. There's no other way. If this matter isn't coordinated, the workers won't be able to do their jobs well."
The logistics officer said, "That's right. Let me talk to them and have them send a batch of vegetables to our factory every day. Let's try it first."
This is how the factory used to wholesale quilts and Dacron clothes.
But those were in short supply, so how could vegetables be treated this way? The logistics staff couldn't understand why, but no matter what, they had to deal with the matter first.
The union member did a thorough job and said, "Ask for more cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as bamboo shoots, peppers, and eggplants. The rest can be mixed and matched."
The logistics staff took note of their needs and planned to negotiate with the vegetable seller today.
Xiao Liu, who bought six pounds of chili peppers yesterday, was surrounded by his colleagues early this morning: "I heard the guild went to discuss buying vegetables. Have you ever bought some? How was it? Is it really that good?"
Xiao Liu said, "It's really delicious!" Everyone in his family loves spicy food, so they bought some chili peppers and immediately went home to pickle them into soy sauce chili peppers, and put some garlic slices and other things in them. They started eating them that night without even waiting for them to be pickled.
It’s spicy and goes well with rice. There wasn’t anything good to eat yesterday, so I ate a few more bowls of it with chili sauce.
The longer the soy sauce and chili sauce are added, the better it tastes. They all had a blast eating it yesterday! If they hadn't been restrained, they would have eaten half of it yesterday.
Everyone in the factory knew that Xiao Liu's chili pickles were excellent. Hearing him say that, they were all a little greedy: "Did you bring any? I want to try some!"
One person said this, and the others echoed it. After all, they were lifelong colleagues, so Xiao Liu didn't hesitate and said he brought it.
Everyone urged them to eat it.
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Xiao Liu had to open his pickle box and soak the emerald green peppers in soy sauce.
Everyone can't wait to try it. I don't know how this pepper is made, but it's crisp with a hint of spiciness, which makes people feel particularly refreshed.
In autumn and winter, everyone has no appetite, but after eating such spicy food, they sweat and feel much more comfortable.
"I'll buy some too, and ask Auntie to pickle it for me later!"
"Or we can go with you."
After taking a bite, they can't wait to have a mouthful of rice. Most people can't make it taste this good.
Xiao Liu said, "There's nothing special about the cooking method, except that the chili peppers are good."
When Xiao Liu returned home, his mother took a fancy to the chili peppers. Xiao Liu said that he ordered 50 kilograms of chili peppers but was worried that it was too much.
It turned out that the peppers tasted even better than he had imagined. His family can't live without spicy food all year round. They also buy peppers in the summer, but they don't have this kind of spicy feeling.
Fifty kilograms of peppers were not enough for Xiao Liu's family. Seeing that everyone liked it, his grandmother paid for it out of her own pocket and asked him to order another hundred kilograms. This pepper is really spicy, fragrant and delicious, and the key is that it is fresh. It is crispy when bitten.
When there is no food, you can eat pancakes and noodles.
Seeing that everyone liked it, Xiao Liu said, "My mom also works and doesn't have much time to make it. How about this, I'll write down the house and you can make it yourself."
"That's okay too!"
"Very good."
“I don’t know how this chili is made so delicious.”
Colleagues who had not originally planned to buy chili peppers also said they wanted to buy them.
Xiao Liu said, "If you want to buy something, you better hurry up. Luckily, I ran away quickly yesterday, otherwise the people from the steel mill would have bought up all the things."
When the steel mill was mentioned, everyone immediately became competitive: "I'll go buy it even if I don't eat this time!"
"I heard they said that cucumber was pretty good too!"
Speaking of cucumbers, Xiao Liu said, "Oh, by the way, soak some pickled cucumbers in this chili pepper. It will be crispy, spicy and delicious."
They had all eaten soy sauce chili before, so when they heard Xiao Liu say this, they quickly said, "Buy three pounds of cucumbers and three pounds of chili to go with it."
Some people were generous enough to buy 12 jin (approximately 200g) of it. They all knew that there was a buy 5 jin (approximately 100g) free deal, and that on weekdays it was 30 cents per jin, so this was equivalent to 25 cents. Although it was more expensive than in the summer, it was still acceptable.
A colleague asked Xiao Liu: "How many kilograms do you want to buy?"
Xiao Liu said, "I ordered 50 kilograms yesterday, and I plan to order another 100 kilograms!" As soon as he finished speaking, the people next to him gasped.
"What a wealthy family."
Xiao Liu said, "We can't help it. My family all loves chili peppers. I'm afraid this won't be enough."
When they heard him say that, everyone wanted to buy more, fearing that Xiao Liu had sold them all. Such good peppers are not only good for pickling, but also great when cut into pieces and fried with eggs.
…
Before noon,
Lu Xiang and the others had just parked their stall when they saw a logistics officer from the spring factory coming out from a distance. He said, "From now on, send us 500 kilograms of vegetables every day. More cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes, and other things to mix in."
Lu Xiang and the director of the women's department looked at each other. This was a pleasant surprise.
The spring factory explained that the reason for this purchase was that they were afraid that their employees would not be able to buy the vegetables they wanted to eat.
The director of women's affairs agreed immediately.
There are plenty of vegetables anyway, they are all growing in the fields.
By noon, people from the steel plant and the spring factory rushed over, and Lu Xiang started to get busy again.
People at the steel plant were selling cucumbers and tomatoes like crazy. In the afternoon, I washed two and ate them as fruit. They were sweet and crisp.
The people at the spring factory packed up all the peppers, and Xiao Liu ordered another hundred kilograms. This made the people at the steel factory confused. So, can peppers be considered fruit?
