Chapter 401 Custom-made Tin Cans
"Sister, I won't say anything more. You will be the great benefactor of our Chenhe Village from now on. We, the whole village, will worship you as our ancestor."
Chen Guanghai looked at Su Xiaoxiao with gratitude.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
No need to, she doesn't want to hang it on the wall so soon.
"Sister, I agree to your terms. In addition, we will give you 10% of the profits in the future. We won't let you work in vain."
Chen Guanghai is a very grateful person. Comrade Su has helped their village so much, he can't just accept it with a flattering attitude, he has to show some gratitude.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Chen Guanghai would offer 10% profit right away, and she felt even more favorable towards this big brother.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask Chen Guanghai to take her to a guesthouse in town to stay. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by the couple in a righteous manner as soon as she proposed it.
"There's room at home, how can I let you spend money to stay in a guesthouse?"
After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she asked Chen Guanghai to clean up the largest bedroom for Su Xiaoxiao to live in. She also specially took out the new bedding that they had not been willing to use since they got married for her to use.
Seeing that she was settled, Chen Lingling stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, I'm going home first. I'll come to see you after get off work tomorrow."
Having just arrived in a new place, she thought she would suffer from insomnia, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
After a tiring day, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow and slept until dawn.
She slept soundly, but Chen Guanghai and his wife could not sleep all night, excitedly thinking about making canned seafood.
In the morning, when the rooster crowed, the couple got up with big dark circles under their eyes.
Wang Xiujuan yawned as she prepared breakfast for the family, while Chen Guanghai walked around the yard smoking welding fumes.
This was what Su Xiaoxiao saw when she got up.
When Chen Guanghai heard the voice, he looked up with surprise, and the huge dark circles under his eyelids looked particularly obvious.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
It's just canning seafood, there's no need to get so excited, right?
If she told Chen Guanghai that she planned to let him build a factory in the future, wouldn't this big brother be extremely excited?
When Chen Guanghai saw her come out, he quickly put out the welding smoke.
"Girl, where do you think we should start today?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find a tinsmith first and ask if he can make the jar I want."
This craft has gradually been replaced by machines in modern times, and Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know to what extent the current craftsmen can make jars.
In fact, her requirements are not particularly high. As long as the jar does not leak soup and the appearance is as beautiful as possible, it doesn't matter whether it is square or round.
"That's easy. There's one in the village. I'll take you to find it right away."
Chen Guanghai slapped his thigh and excitedly took Su Xiaoxiao to find someone.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sky. It was only 5:30 in the morning at the latest. If she hadn't been holding her urine, she would probably still be in a trance.
It doesn't seem appropriate to go looking for someone so early.
She said politely, "Brother Chen, why don't we go later? Isn't it a little too early?"
Chen Guanghai couldn't wait any longer and didn't care whether it was early or not. He immediately took Su Xiaoxiao out.
"It's okay. This master is my third uncle from the same family. He should be getting up by now."
Su Xiaoxiao was forced to do something and was taken directly by Chen Guanghai to find Uncle Chen's house.
Chen Guanghai stepped forward and banged on the door: "Uncle San, it's me, open the door quickly! I have something important to talk to you about!"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
I always feel like they are abusing the elderly.
Soon, a rather strong old voice came from inside: "You bastard, why are you calling for souls so early in the morning?"
Uncle Chen walked out of the house in his slippers, cursing.
When he opened the gate and saw the two people standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment. His eyes swept over Chen Guanghai and finally landed on Su Xiaoxiao's face. He said thoughtfully: "Is this your eldest son's wife?"
"Puff~"
Su Xiaoxiao almost spit in the old man's face. What kind of brain circuit is this old man? The eldest daughter of the Chen family is only thirteen this year, and she is already nineteen. There is no way the two of them can be in that kind of relationship.
Chen Guanghai looked embarrassed. "What are you talking about? This is Comrade Su, the benefactor of our village, who helped us escape poverty and become rich."
After saying that, he hurriedly explained to Su Xiaoxiao: "Sister, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. He keeps talking nonsense all day long."
Uncle Chen snorted coldly, "If it's not your eldest son getting married, why are you so anxious to ask me to open the door so early in the morning?"
Chen Guanghai's forehead was full of black lines. This old man really has wild imaginations.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his third son being so much younger than Su Xiaoxiao. The key point was that his son looked so ugly that he was not worthy of Comrade Su in any way.
If Comrade Su really became his daughter-in-law, he would be so happy that he would go crazy.
Pulling his thoughts back, he cleared his throat and started talking about business.
"So you want me to make tin cans for seafood?"
"Yes, sister, tell Uncle San quickly, what style do you want?"
Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was difficult to explain it simply by talking, so she immediately said, "Can you bring me some paper and pen? I'll draw it for you."
I didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao could also draw. The way Chen Guanghai looked at Su Xiaoxiao was as if he was looking at his idol.
He hurried into the house and dug out a piece of pencil and a piece of paper, and carefully helped Su Xiaoxiao arrange them, his attitude was very attentive.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and quickly drew a round can on the paper. The style was the same as the common aluminum cans nowadays, but she did not draw a pull ring at the seal. Instead, she changed it to a lid, similar to a modern tea can.
She had previously learned that people used tin cans as spice jars or to store small items.
In this way, after eating the canned fish, the tin can can be used again, killing two birds with one stone.
"Uncle San, can you see if this can be made? If it's not easy, let's try another style."
Uncle Chen took it, looked at it, and nodded: "No problem, no need to modify it. How many do you want?"
I didn't expect that this little girl is so capable at such a young age. This box is not only beautiful but also practical.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Uncle San, how many tin cans can you make in a day?"
Uncle San thought for a moment and said, "Eighteen."
This was far from the quantity Su Xiaoxiao had imagined. She planned to make at least fifty cans before she left and try to promote them in the surrounding state-owned restaurants.
She only has a week's business trip, and this is already the second day. She will stay for two more days at most before moving on to the next place.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Uncle Chen, "Uncle, I want fifty tin cans in two days. Do you know anyone here who could help me with the job?"
Uncle Chen was about to answer when a man suddenly ran out from a distance, shouting, "Village Chief, it's bad! Our people are fighting with the people from the next village again. You need to go over there quickly."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea and said to Chen Guanghai: "Brother Chen, I will go with you."
