Chapter 162: Picking Chili Peppers

Seeing Sang Moyun away, Li Xiaonuan suddenly wanted to laugh. When did he become a savior? First that Zhou Liufei, then Chi Yao, and now Wei Yu and Sang Moyun.

The most ridiculous thing is that Li Xiaonuan still wants to help the people in the village live a good life. Although few people in the village are really poor. Is this a manifestation of the Virgin? Since when did she position herself in such a position?

In fact, thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan felt that she was really just selfish. If she wants to build an ecological estate, she has to endure the jealousy of the villagers. But in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, she came up with the Xanadu plan.

Moreover, it is impossible to avoid being involved with Wei Yu. In order to make his family live in peace, Li Xiaonuan had to help them. As for Zhou Liufei, it was for Granny Yu.

In the evening of the same day, Lao Song Tou came to the door with Dabao Erbao. Li Xiaonuan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Lao Song Tou to be such an anxious person.

"Xiao Nuan, I heard Dabao say that you are looking for me, and I will come." Old Song Tou sat stiffly, a little panicked.

Li Xiaonuan looked at Dabao Erbao, who was snuggled on the left and right sides of the old Song head, and explained with a smile: "Grandpa Song, I actually don't have anything big to look for you. Just recently, there are more and more peppers in the field, and there is no one to help pick them. So, I'd like to ask if you'd like to pick it for me. ”

Dabao looked at Erbao and asked first: "Sister Xiaonuan, I'll help you collect chili peppers." Erbao is too young, can you let him stay at home? ”

Lao Song Tou also agreed with Dabao's statement: "Yes, Erbao can't pick chili peppers, and he can't pick them." I'll just go with Dabao. What he thought to himself was that if he couldn't set up a stall on the street, his family would have to run out of food.

Li Xiaonuan knew what they were afraid of: "Grandpa Song, Dabao, don't worry. Picking chili peppers is actually not scary. I'll give you a little pair of scissors, and you just have to cut off the ripe peppers. It doesn't need to be grabbed by hand. I've also got gloves for each of you, so it won't get any spicy anymore. ”

Erbao said in a milky voice: "Erbao is not afraid of pain, Erbao is very well-behaved and can help my sister pick chili peppers." ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled and looked at the well-behaved and sensible Erbao, but his thin face was not pleasing to the eye. Originally, a four- or five-year-old child should be very cute and cute, but except for his voice, he doesn't have that kind of childlike quality at all.

"Erbao is awesome. My sister likes Erbao, so I let Erbao help my sister pick chili peppers, okay? Li Xiaonuan asked him deliberately.

"Uh-huh, Erbao is capable, Erbao picks peppers. Sister, my grandfather still has to go to the street to set up a stall to earn copper plates and buy rice. Erbao helped my sister pick chili peppers, and my sister asked my grandfather to set up a stall on the street. Erbao snapped his fingers and said to Li Xiaonuan.

"Erbao, don't talk about children. It's okay if grandpa doesn't go to the street to set up a stall first, and there is still rice at home. When the rice is finished, grandpa can go to the street to set up a stall. Sister Xiao Nuan, when the time comes, you will let grandpa set up a stall, and I will pick grandpa's share of chili peppers, okay? Dabao asked, tugging at the hem of his clothes.

Lao Song Tou touched Dabao Erbao's head, and said to Li Xiaonuan in embarrassment: "Xiao Nuan, grandpa's family has to rely on grandpa to set up stalls on the street to earn rice and grain." So, can you let grandpa go to the street every few days to set up a stall? Grandpa promised that he would never delay picking chili peppers. ”

Only then did Li Xiaonuan know what his grandson was worried about.

"Grandpa Song, Xiao Nuan is inviting you to pick chili peppers, and you have a salary. So, don't worry about setting up a stall all day. I'm sure you'll earn more money from picking chili peppers than you can from setting up a stall. Li Xiaonuan hurriedly explained the words.

Old Song Tou was stunned, looked at Li Xiaonuan in disbelief, and said for a long time: "Xiaonuan, this... This shouldn't be." ”

"Grandpa Song, we have more land at home, and my father can't be busy alone. That's why we want to hire someone to pick the chili peppers. Also, you are hired by our family to pick chili peppers, and you deserve to be paid. Li Xiaonuan said.

In the end, Lao Song Tou still responded to the job of picking chili peppers. Of course, he didn't think he could earn much copper plate by picking a chili pepper. Quan regarded it as thanking Li Xiaonuan.

Picking chili peppers is only the first thing, and Li Xiaonuan actually has further plans. That's the paradise thing.

If the Xanadu plan is to be carried out, then the village will have to have its own character to attract the wow-oh people. Otherwise, when other villages also learn the whole pear orchard and peony garden or something, Zhou Village will no longer be dazzling.

Therefore, Li Xiaonuan thought of various cross talk sketches and the like. There are also various stage plays. In short, compared with opera, those performances that are close to real life should be more eye-catching.

In this way, Li Xiaonuan thought of Lao Song Tou. After all, people who perform on stage can be illiterate or unable to write. But they have to memorize the lines and scripts. Therefore, the existence of Lao Song Tou is to teach those people to read, read lines and memorize scripts.

Although it is a little earlier to start such preparations. But judging from the positive attitude of Li Zheng and the patriarch, the plan of Xanadu is very feasible.

If the plan of the last paradise is not feasible, Li Xiaonuan can also put those small shows on the stage. It's just that if anyone wants to see it at that time, they have to buy a ticket to enter the venue.

After roughly talking to Lao Song Tou, let him have a bottom in his heart in advance, and Li Xiaonuan didn't talk about it in depth. Old Song Tou is also an intellectual, and Li Xiaonuan only roughly said it, and he has a lot of important information.

Dabao Erbao always sat obediently and listened, eating the tea and fruit snacks that Li Xiaonuan specially gave them. After the two adults stopped talking, Dabao said in a muffled voice: "Sister Xiaonuan, Dabao is also literate and can help you." ”

Erbao followed suit: "Well, Erbao is also literate, and Erbao also helps." ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Lao Song Tou in surprise, and Lao Song Tou nodded helplessly. Li Xiaonuan thinks about it, Lao Song Tou is a scholar, and there is no reason not to teach his grandson.

"Okay, my sister also asked Dabao Erbao to help, okay?" Li Xiaonuan smiled.

Dabao's mouth finally flattened, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Erbao still looked ignorant, and replied crisply: "Hey, help Sister Xiaonuan." ”

Sending away the old Song Tou, the people of the Li family were embarrassed. Especially the old lady, she said that the old Song Tou was so big or something, but now she is mixed up like this ghost. Father Li paid attention to the two children, saying that if they could study in the future, they would definitely be promising.

Since that day, Lao Song Tou has appeared in the pepper field of Li Xiaonuan's house with his two grandsons in the morning and evening, picking peppers in and out. The daily remuneration of the three figures was calculated by the catty, and each catty was ten copper plates. When Lao Song Tou got the remuneration of more than 200 copper plates on the first day, he was a little afraid to accept it.

The fresh peppers on the market now are one or two silver pounds, which is the price set by Wei Yu. As for fresh and sought-after goods like chili peppers, in addition to providing them to the guest restaurant, Zhoucun can only sell some to those big families in small quantities.

And Li Xiaonuan's chili peppers, in addition to being at home, are better than being at home, and they are better than welcoming guests to the hotel. In just half a month, Yingke has become a first-line restaurant in the city with its high-quality dishes and services.

Therefore, today's chili peppers are in their prime. There are few people who plant, the demand is high, and the price is high. (To be continued.) )
