Song Chu raised her hand and made a stop gesture. Everyone who was still shouting stopped and looked at her.
"Now let me first talk about how this oil press workshop will operate in the early stages."
"First of all, although the raw materials for this oil are free, you need to go to the back mountain to pick tea oil fruits first. Then there are several processes that require people to do it."
"So I will organize a team to follow me up the mountain to pick tea oil fruits, and then find a few people to specialize in pile fermentation, ripening, drying and peeling seeds, which will also increase the oil yield."
Before she could continue, the people present immediately started clamoring.
"Why do we have to go to the back mountain? It's so dangerous!"
"Yeah, it's too dangerous to go to the back hill to pick fruit. I won't go anyway."
"I don't dare to go either."
"Why do you still need to find someone to do the work? What does that count as? Working for nothing?"
The joy of most people present was dampened, and they remembered that they had to go to the back mountain to find the wild fruit.
Besides, no one wants to do the work of turning, drying and peeling the seeds for free.
Song Chu waited until they had almost finished arguing before speaking again: "If you don't go to the back mountain to pick fruit, you want to get tea oil for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?"
Seeing that some people were hesitant to speak, she sneered and said, "Don't even think about asking me to go. I'm not your parents. Why should I go to the back mountain every day to pick fruits and squeeze oil to give to you for free? Wouldn't I use it for my own household expenses?"
"Oil is in short supply in the city. If I take the oil to exchange for something, I won't have to worry about no one to do it with."
She glanced at everyone present and said, "Don't talk about giving me work points. Do I need work points so badly?"
Of course I can't say I sold it, otherwise someone will catch me, but I can say it so that the villagers know what's going on.
Everyone suddenly fell silent. They did have this idea originally. Since Song Chu was brave enough to go to the back mountain, then let her pick the fruit and not let her suffer any loss. The village could just give her work points.
But from what she said, it seems that this village bully really has no shortage of work points, because she never worked before but was supported by someone...
They all knew that oil was in short supply in the city. If the Song family made their own tea oil fruits and took them to the city to press them and sell them or exchange them for other things, they would definitely be popular and it would have nothing to do with them.
My heart suddenly began to lift again. I didn't want to miss out on this oil and felt mixed emotions.
"But going to the back mountain is too dangerous. What if we encounter wild animals?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Song Chu did not answer him immediately, but walked to a large dead tree in the yard.
She jumped up and kicked the tree sideways.
"Click!" Then everyone in the yard stared in amazement.
Because of her kick, the tree, which was thicker than a person's waist, broke directly from the bottom and fell straight to the opposite side.
Fortunately, there is no one here because it is difficult to stand.
“……”This female village bully is so scary.
The villagers used to know that the reason why Song Chu was able to do evil in the village was mainly because she was stronger than men and was very good at fighting, but they never expected that she was so strong.
If you kick someone with this, he will be seriously injured if not killed!
Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought about it, and didn't dare to think any further. There was a little more fear in their eyes when they looked at her.
Song Chu was very satisfied with the deterrent effect. Otherwise, it would not be of much use to appeal to these people's emotions and reason with them, because they might have more twisted ideas.
So she wasn't going to argue with them.
Seeing that everyone had instantly quieted down, she continued, "See? I can definitely handle wild animals. I'll follow you every time you go to pick fruit, so you don't have to worry about your safety."
This made everyone feel more at ease. If he could kick down such a big tree, then Song Cunba should be able to kick a wild beast to death, right? No wonder he was able to kill such a big snake two days ago.
"Who will go with you?" someone asked.
In any case, they don't want their family members to do dangerous work if they are only given work points.
Song Chu knew what they were thinking, so after shocking them, he started to offer them benefits.
"I won't specify who will follow you into the mountains. Everyone can sign up voluntarily."
She then changed the subject and said, "There is a large area of oil tea trees on the back hill. It can not only meet the oil needs of our village, but there is definitely a lot of surplus. So I plan to exchange the remaining oil for cloth, clothes, food, sugar, meat and other daily necessities."
"We can also use the oil to exchange for soybeans, and then press the soybean oil to continue to exchange for these things. The rapeseed flowers on the mountain can also be pressed for oil. This workshop can operate all year round, and there is no shortage of oil."
"So those who follow me up the mountain and put in the hard work, I guarantee that they will definitely get these things in exchange for oil every month, but others can forget about it."
"The same goes for those who stay at the oil mill to turn over, dry and peel the seeds. Every month, they are given the things they exchange for the oil according to their work."
This made many people think, if they could share the rewards by doing the work, they would be willing to do it.
After all, who doesn't lack cloth, clothes, and sugar? These things can't be bought even if you have money but no tickets.
"Can it really be changed? Wouldn't that be considered speculation?" an elderly person asked worriedly.
Song Chu replied: "We are not selling anything, so exchanging things is not speculation."
"Besides, we are not going to randomly exchange them at the black market in the city. It is absolutely not against the law. I am going to exchange them with the textile factories, grain bureaus, sugar factories and other state-owned enterprises in the county. I believe they will be happy to do so."
"What? We have to go to the factory in the county town to change it? But will they do it? Who will go and change it?" someone else asked.
Song Chu pointed at himself and said confidently: "Since I can get the oil press back, can't I use the oil to exchange for something else? After it's on track, I will arrange someone to do this specifically, and I can also share the things as a reward."
Everyone was right in thinking this way. This oil press was not easy to make. Other communes couldn't do it, but Song Chu did it.
Why? Because her family has connections in the city. I heard that the wives that the third son married all come from families of cadres.
"What are the requirements for registration?" A man who had many children and was relatively poor couldn't help but be tempted.
If things can really be divided, he will do it. It can really improve the family's life and it would be nice to make a set of clothes for each child!
Song Chu replied: "Anyone who wants to go should go and sign up with the team leader first. I only need nine people to go up the mountain, first come first served."
She reminded, "After we distribute the items, if anyone gets jealous and wants to join the team, it will be difficult."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that the applicants are hardworking and willing to work. Those who try to cheat and play tricks will not be accepted. I will supervise it personally."
After she said that, those who were originally a little hesitant suddenly became nervous. There were only nine people. If they really had to divide things in the future, wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage if their family didn’t go? “I’ll report.”
"I'll sign up too."
Song Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me. You can go to the team leader to sign up later, and the village cadres will come together to select people."
"Three women are needed to do other work in the oil press workshop. Those who are usually quick and diligent will do."
"It won't interfere with work. You can take time off work or during lunch break to do it. If you have ideas, go find the team leader to sign up."
Driven by the atmosphere that Song Chu had deliberately created before, everyone became excited as soon as they heard it. They all wanted to find the team leader to sign up right away, for fear that they would be a step late.
Sure enough, after the shock, they threw out benefits and gave people a sweet treat after a beating, and everyone couldn't sit still.
