Chapter 418: Harvesting Chili Peppers
Wang Yong's wife rushed in angrily: "You stupid girl, where is my Wang Yong?"
She didn't dare yell at Su Xiaoxiao, but turned her attention to Wang Xiuxiu.
"Your Wang Yong should go to your own home. Why is he here?"
Just as Wang Xiuxiu was about to speak, she saw a slender figure standing in front of her, and her eyes instantly became gentle.
"My Wang Yong clearly came to your house yesterday. Hurry and hand him over, or I will be rude to you."
Wang Yong's wife pinched her waist and roared, but she took a step back with some hesitation. She could still vividly remember how the dead girl had splashed water on her yesterday.
"Are you sure he came to our place? We are the only two women in this house. What is he doing here so late at night? Is he trying to be a hooligan? Think carefully, the crime of hooliganism will result in peanuts."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke word by word, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wang Yong's wife's face turned pale.
Although she asked Wang Yong to come because she wanted to teach these two damn girls a lesson, if this were to get out, it would be hard to explain.
If I'm charged with hooliganism...
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, you heard it wrong, my Wang Yong is at home, I... I'm going back."
After throwing down a few words, she almost ran away.
Su Xiaoxiao sneered. How dare such a rat come here to cause trouble? Tsk.
The two of them were not affected by what happened in the morning at all and had a happy breakfast.
Su Xiaoxiao ate two egg pancakes, a bowl of millet porridge, and half a plate of shredded potatoes before she touched her stomach in satisfaction.
I have to say that Wang Xiuxiu's craftsmanship is simply amazing.
If she opens a restaurant in the future, she will definitely let Wang Xiuxiu be her cook.
After finishing their meal, the two of them walked slowly towards the yard where the factory was located.
When we arrived, we found that there were already quite a few people inside.
Hu San and Chen Hai were working hard with a group of young men from the village.
The village chief squatted beside them with his pipe in hand, supervising the men as they worked.
The man being supervised walked with a limp and looked familiar from behind.
When the man came out carrying the manure, Su Xiaoxiao immediately recognized that this manure collector was none other than Wang Yong, who had been sent away by Chen Hai that morning.
Wang Yong was carrying manure, feeling extremely depressed. He was left outside the house last night and almost caught a cold. This morning, he was beaten up by Chen Hai's grandson. He didn't even have a chance to eat before he was drafted into the army to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.
Because this yard is spacious, people used to dry grain here often. Although no one has lived here for a long time, the manure pit is always full.
Not only was it new, but there was also the accumulation of the old landlord's wealth when he was still alive. The smell was a bit too much to handle. He almost retched as he dug out the manure pit bit by bit.
The only thing to be thankful for is that it is winter now. If it were summer, he would probably have fainted on the spot.
He limped past the two of them carrying manure. Wang Xiuxiu immediately pulled Su Xiaoxiao away, covering her nose.
Uncle Hu noticed them at this time and came over with a smile: "Comrade Su, you're here, take a look at it. We got up at four o'clock this morning to pick it up. We have fixed everything that can be repaired. If you find anything you are not satisfied with, we will find someone else to fix it."
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and found that the whole yard had been completely renewed in just one morning.
When I walked in, I saw several young men busy building a stove, and they looked very professional.
Judging from the speed, it will be completed soon.
I didn’t expect the village chief to be so reliable.
"Village Chief, thank you for your trouble. Please share these with everyone else."
Su Xiaoxiao took out two large bags of beef jerky and two bags of White Rabbit from her bag.
Uncle Hu almost dropped the pipe in his hand.
No, she only had a small bag, how could she pull out such a big thing like a magic trick?
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice Uncle Hu's jaw dropped and continued to discuss the next steps with him.
"Village Chief, we've almost finished preparing the site. The next step is just the raw materials..."
When Uncle Hu heard the serious matter, he immediately forgot his previous shock and patted his chest to assure: "Comrade Su, you do this. Ask Xiuxiu to write down the ingredients needed in the recipe, and I will ask the villagers to prepare them immediately."
"Okay, then I'll trouble the village chief. I'll pay for all these things according to the market price."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said that the money issue must be made clear, otherwise it would be difficult to prepare.
Uncle Hu smiled broadly: "Look at you, Comrade Su, why are you so polite? It's not too late to pay after everything is sold."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Is he worried that she won't pay first? As expected of the village chief, he's quite the monkey.
Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, and she took out a stack of big unity notes from her pocket and waved them in front of Uncle Hu: "Don't worry, Village Chief, as long as you send something here, we will pay you and get the goods in return."
When Uncle Hu saw the thick stack of big unity bills, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Comrade Su is really a god of wealth. It looks like he has at least a few hundred yuan. His family doesn't see that much money in a year.
"Okay, okay, Comrade Su, we definitely trust your character, haha."
He looked at Wang Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, look, write down everything you need quickly. I'll have someone deliver it to you."
Wang Xiuxiu was so nervous that her face turned red: "Village... Village Chief, I... I can't write."
She was sold here when she was very young, and all she did every day was work. She had no chance to learn to read.
Uncle Hu then remembered and scratched his head, feeling embarrassed: "Then how about this, I'll find someone who can read to write it for you, and you can dictate it."
"Village Chief, don't bother. I can write it."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke up in time. She had realized that most of the people in this village were illiterate.
Yes, given the conditions in this village, it is good enough for the family to have enough food to eat. Most people probably don’t have the spare money to send their children to school.
"Comrade Su is also a cultured person. Oh, no wonder..."
Uncle Hu now looks at Su Xiaoxiao as if she is the God of Wealth in their village, and he praises her profusely.
Soon, the village chief's voice was heard from the brigade's loudspeaker.
"Attention, all villagers! If you have chili peppers, garlic, or ginger at home, please give them away. The more the better. The price will be based on the market price..."
As soon as the notice was issued, the first batch of peppers arrived.
Uncle Hu borrowed a scale from a villager and helped Su Xiaoxiao weigh the items, while Su Xiaoxiao was responsible for the accounting.
At this time, almost every household in the village had planted a lot of peppers, and long queues formed soon.
Wang Xiuxiu came over to help even though she had nothing to do.
Several people divided the work and cooperated with each other, and in a short time they harvested more than 80 kilograms of peppers.
Su Xiaoxiao calculated that the number was almost enough and was just about to ask Uncle Hu to notify them not to collect them for the time being, when suddenly a noisy sound came from the distance, as if someone was fighting.
