Each name announced was accompanied by thunderous applause and deafening cheers; every selected villager received congratulations from the surrounding villagers, as well as envious and jealous glances.
Zhang Daniu from Hezibao also participated in the assessment. Although he attended the literacy class every day without fail, the daytime labor was too arduous, and Li Sixin's teaching voice became a hypnotic sound in his ears. He would fall asleep within ten minutes each time.
"The 121st person is Zhang Xi from Hezibao! Congratulations to the above 121 people for successfully passing the recruitment assessment and becoming members of Xu's Catering! Please proceed to the factory in an orderly manner to register your information and complete the onboarding procedures! Thank you for your support and cooperation!"
Often, effort and reward are directly proportional, and unsurprisingly, Zhang Daniu was not selected.
Although somewhat regrettable, Zhang Daniu knew his own situation best and had already guessed the result. He simply sighed and, like the other unsuccessful candidates, turned and left the bustling crowd, scattering in all directions to their respective destinations.
Zhang Daniu's destination was a greenhouse where spicy hot pot was grown.
As the harvest time for the shuanshuan peppers drew closer, Zhang Daniu became increasingly vigilant about his greenhouse. He even moved his bedding into the greenhouse, intending to live and die with the shuanshuan peppers—if he lived, the peppers would live; if the peppers died, he would die.
However, this plan was discovered and driven home by Li Sixin's newly organized patrol team less than two hours after it was put into action.
A greenhouse is a relatively sealed environment. At night, the plants' respiration reduces the oxygen level inside the greenhouse while the carbon dioxide level increases rapidly. This can cause dizziness or even death.
Zhang Daniu took out his key and opened the greenhouse door, which was secured with three different locks. He then took out a mask made of tattered floral fabric from his pocket, put it on, and walked slowly between the ridges of the field, carefully examining the growth of each of the spicy pepper plants.
With less than ten days left until the ripening period mentioned by Professor Wei, the green peppers hung heavily on the branches, their glossy skin gleaming with white specks, a truly delightful sight.
Just as Zhang Daniu's gaze swept across the scene, a dazzling red light entered his field of vision, forcibly turning his head back from where he had turned it away. His gaze fell directly on the red light, which, against the backdrop of green, was even more eye-catching than the sun in the sky!
Without bothering to put on gloves, his rough hands parted the leaves, revealing a half-red chili pepper.
"It's reached maturity! Professor Wei was absolutely right! It's fully grown!"
