"Some people want to repay a favor and help the supply and marketing cooperative process peppers. If you want to repay the favor, you should repay it yourself.
If you throw out your money, your energy, and all that, it’s yours too, so why are you dragging us along to share the burden?”
Everyone agreed that the supply and marketing cooperative bought Chen Zhaozhao's vegetables with Lin Xisi's help.
Now that the supply and marketing cooperative cannot sell chili peppers, Chen Zhaozhao uses it to make chili sauce and bears the risk of not being able to sell it, in order to repay Lin Xisi's favor.
"Isn't this a way of deceiving people?"
"That's right, this is too deceptive. If you don't do it, you can't do it."
"It's irritating to just work hard and not receive any work points, and you have to pay for it, so who is willing to do it? Why don't I keep the money to buy rice?"
The opposition was loud.
Some people even said: "Zhaozhao, since you are in charge of this matter, do you think the chili sauce can be sold, can you just pay all the costs?"
According to this calculation, if we sell them all, we can make a lot of money.
When the time comes to sell it and make a profit, after deducting the cost and calculating our work points, the rest is all yours."
Since they were going to make chili sauce together, Chen Zhaozhao of course gave Zhao Youchang an income estimate and told everyone this during the meeting.
Nowadays, peppers are bought from supply and marketing cooperatives for 50 cents per catty and sold for 50 cents per catty.
Excluding the money spent on buying salt and jars, I can earn 30 cents per kilogram.
The way to divide the money is to exchange the work points earned from making the chili sauce. The more the chili sauce earns in the end, the higher the unit price of the work points will be.
If there are 100 people working, each person can make ten kilograms a day, which is one thousand kilograms a day. After removing the cost, one person can earn three yuan a day.
You only earn 40 cents a day from farming.
"Auntie said this, I bear the risks, and you reap the benefits. There is no such good thing in this world." Chen Zhaozhao sneered.
“I am the one who takes the lead in making chili sauce, but there is no reason why I have to bear all the risks. Besides, I don’t have that much capital.
Anyway, whoever is willing to do this can do it together, if not, forget it."
Explain to the villagers that there is no money.
This is why Chen Zhaozhao did not buy the peppers himself and bear the cost risk.
Their family has always been tightly guarded, and only sells food to earn some food money.
The cost of making chili sauce this time was too high, and she couldn't bear the cost because of her deep pockets.
Even when planting soybeans, it is not enough to share the labor cost.
Otherwise, when people in the village see that she can actually spend so much money, they will get pink eye.
"You don't have money, but Comrade Yu does!"
"Comrade Yu doesn't have that much money either. I really can't afford to take all the risks on this matter."
"We only earn 40 yuan a day from farming, and at least 3 yuan a day from making chili sauce. Why do you talk so much about such a good thing?" Liu Cuilian said unbearably.
"If you make three yuan a day, you can only make so much money if you sell all the chili sauce. If you can't sell it, let alone three yuan, you won't even get thirty cents or two cents, and you will have to lose money." Wang Sanqin immediately retorted.
"I bet that all the chili sauce can be sold. I believe in Zhaozhao and I will make it together." Liu Cuilian said.
She believed Chen Zhaozhao, after all Chen Zhaozhao had led them to make money for so long.
Even if they don't make money this time, their vegetables can be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative because of Chen Zhaozhao. Even if Chen Zhaozhao's purpose this time is to return Lin Xisi's favor.
Then they, who have benefited jointly, should return the favor together.
Liu Cuilian talked about his idea, and with Chen Zhaozhao's benefit, people who made money from selling fungus and vegetables all said they were willing to make chili sauce together.
Some people think we should return the favor together.
Some people think that they must go with Chen Zhaozhao, because she is a lucky star, and it is good to follow her. If you don't see Li Huarong and others, they have gone to the county to eat public food.
So, after a meeting, more than 40 households in the village were still the same as before, 20 households were involved in making chili sauce, and the rest were pessimistic and unwilling to do anything.
After deciding, register to participate and go home to get the money.
Those who didn't participate looked on and made sarcastic remarks.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at the group of people led by Wang Sanqin and felt that enough was enough.
Now the number of workers is determined by two people per family. When the time comes, the family can earn more than 50 yuan.
They are jealous to death.
It was almost ten o'clock when I returned from the meeting, and everyone except Chen Xiaoni was still awake.
Chen Dawang and Chen Zhaozhao attended the village meeting. Liu Guihua and the others were waiting to hear the results of the meeting and to continue talking about the provincial capital with Chen Zhaozhao.
We came back and chatted until eleven o'clock.
"It's all said and done. It's too late. Let's go to bed quickly." Chen Zhaozhao said.
"Okay~" Everyone dispersed without saying anything.
Up to now, they still can't get over it, especially when Chen Zhaozhao got ten acres of land and bought a yard.
I thought she was just accompanying Chen Sanmei to take the assessment, but who knew she actually did so many things.
Seeing everyone go back to their rooms, Chen Zhaozhao looked at Yu Jinggui who was still standing at the door of the hall, "What's wrong?"
Yu Jinggui turned to look at her and raised his chin towards his room. Chen Zhaozhao smiled and nodded.
Yu Jinggui nodded and went back to the room first. Chen Zhaozhao went to wash up first and then went to Yu Jinggui's room after finishing his work.
As soon as she entered, Yu Jinggui hugged her and expressed his feelings.
After he finished, he hugged her to the desk, took out a passbook from the drawer, handed it to her, "Here you go."
Chen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows but didn't answer.
"Don't you have no money? Some people in the village are right. I have it. What's mine is yours. You take the money first."
"I have nothing to use now."
"Just in case, just in case I need it. It's easy to do things if you have money."
"Then I won't be polite to you~" Chen Zhaozhao took it with a smile, opened it, and was surprised, "So many?"
She knew that Yu Jinggui didn't save much money before, but after he got here, he spent a lot of money on them and almost spent it.
But now there are more than 8,000 yuan in the bankbook.
"I've been given bonuses in the past two months." Yu Jinggui explained, "Of course I don't earn as much as you."
"I thought the bonuses would be paid out at the end of the year."
"The money handed over was large, and when the leader was happy, he distributed the first two months first."
When Yu Jinggui was at the soy sauce factory, including the bonus money she paid to the provincial capital food factory in the town, all she talked about were net profits.
The proportion after deducting all costs and the money paid.
Therefore, in fact, the amount of the bonus distributed is not too exaggerated.
Of course, she just doesn't think it's an exaggeration. Most people in this era would think it's an exaggeration.
It wasn't long after Yu Jinggui took over the county soy sauce factory, especially in the first two months, there were a lot of debts to be repaid.
But in the end, the bonus of more than 8,000 yuan was also very impressive.
"I'll give you this passbook. Use it as you need it. You're welcome." Yu Jinggui said generously.
"What about you?"
"I still have a salary."
Chen Zhaozhao nodded, looked at the bankbook in his hand, and felt a little hot, "Are you going to give me so much money now?"
"The money I earn is just for you and Xiaoni. If I don't give it to you, who will I give it to?"
"But we're not married yet."
Don't say they are not married yet, even if they are married, some people, no, most people, especially in this era when men are absolutely in charge.
It’s rare for a man to give money to a woman, and with so much money, most of his net worth is still there.
"Then let's quickly set a date." Yu Jinggui said with a smile.
"No, at this stage I just want to act like a gangster." Chen Zhaozhao said, pounced on him and nibbled him.
Yu Jinggui hugged her and swallowed the urge to marry back into his stomach.
***
The money and people were in place, and everyone got busy the next day.
Yu Jinggui, Liu Guihua, and Chen Simei returned to work.
Zhao Youchang and Chen Zhaozhao took people to the county town to transport peppers, buy garlic, ginger, jars and tools.
The peppers were shipped back first, and everyone started to get busy.
The peppers need to be screened, washed, and dried. There are quite a lot of things to do in each process.
The place to make chili sauce is in the courtyard of the village.
The village headquarters is a courtyard with three rooms, an office room, and two warehouses. It covers a large area, so the courtyard is also very large.
The jars and tools are bought and cleaned and disinfected. After the peppers are dried, they are cut and minced some more, and then marinated according to the recipe.
Chen Zhaozhao's preparation method is very simple. Chop the peppers by weight, add the prescribed amount of minced ginger, minced garlic, and salt, stir evenly, seal and marinate for one day, then put it into a jar and seal it for at least half a month before eating.
It can be stored in a sealed jar for at least one year.
The villagers are afraid that the chili sauce will not be sold because they don't know how long the chili sauce will last.
After all, the villagers used to make chili sauce in a way other than Chen Zhaozhao's, and they didn't make much and finished it quickly.
I don’t know exactly how long the chili sauce can be stored, so I just assume it won’t be sold in the short term and throw it away.
Of course, in their eyes, taking a long time to sell is a waste.
After all, if you invest money and effort and fail to get the money back in the short term, you will lose money.
"Zhaozhao, this recipe of yours is really amazing. It tastes so good just like this." An aunt said.
"Yes, they all use the same thing, but the portions are different, so the taste is so different!"
"So, why is there a secret recipe?" Liu Cuilian said with a smile, "So, I say Zhaozhao is amazing.
The chili sauce made by her recipe is definitely very popular."
"That's right."
Everyone agreed.
Chen Zhaozhao laughed when she heard this. She simply cheated when making chili sauce this time and added a few drops of Lingquan water to the water used to wash ginger.
As long as this is done, coupled with her just-right recipe, the taste of this chili sauce will be outstanding.
Chen Zhaozhao has not been involved in the production of chili sauce in the village for too long. Her focus is on the production of her own chili sauce and pickled beans.
The green beans on the private plot are out of season, the sweet potatoes have been dug, and the pumpkins have been harvested.
The peppers were left and the rest were planted with kohlrabi.
Chen Dawang went to work in the village, while Zhang Genshan went up to the mountain to chop wood. In addition to chopping matches, he also chopped wood for charcoal.
The end of autumn passed quickly and it became winter, and it started to get colder.
These things must be prepared in advance.
Especially charcoal, according to the time, Chen Damei was in confinement during the Chinese New Year or the first lunar month, so the room had to burn enough charcoal to keep it warm.
Everyone is busy. Wang Sanmei recovered from her injury for two days and then got busy.
Chen Zhaozhao took advantage of the chili sauce production in the village to increase the production of his own chili sauce, so he was very busy.
Originally, Wang Sanmei didn't know what kind of work she could do at Chen Zhaozhao's house, because she was afraid that she would be idle and uncomfortable.
I thought that Chen Zhaozhao's offer of letting her come to work at her house was just a reason to take her in. Who knew, she was really busy.
She works very hard at her job.
The days passed smoothly day by day.
On this day, Chen Zhaozhao received a letter from Fang Dongchao, saying that the food factory encountered a problem...
