"Okay, you go back to the village with me, there are more peanuts and sweet potatoes this year, and the harvest of sorghum will not be bad at eighty percent, but the mountain is not fully ripe, you see what you want?"

Su Yuhe is a veteran of farming, the harvest of every household in the village, and the door is clear!

Su Xiaoli pondered for a moment.

Now is the season when the autumn tiger is powerful, and the roasted sweet potatoes are not yet on sale, and most of the people in the county eat white flour rice, and sorghum is estimated to not be able to sell it.

"Then I'll collect peanuts, according to the market price, 3 cents a pound for shell drying, 2 cents a pound for wet, you can also exchange it for sugar, salty salt or matches, don't you think?"

The countryside is not accustomed to using "kilograms" as a unit of measurement, or the soil method used, 10 taels is equal to a catty, this algorithm is familiar to the villagers.

Su Yuhe quickly calculated in his mind.

"Cheng, no one loses this price, and it also saves the villagers the cost of going to the county grain station."

After a pause, he continued: "I will first broadcast the radio on the loudspeaker, eat at home at noon, and let them bring the surplus peanuts to the playground of the village primary school in the afternoon. ”

The two discussed all the way back to the village, and Village Chief Su roared twice on the loudspeaker.

By the time Su Xiaoli came to the playground of the elementary school after lunch, there were already a lot of people gathered in twos and threes.

Before leaving the house, Grandma Su stuffed all the wages she had just received into her, and calculated that she had a total of more than 40 yuan, and she could collect at least 100 catties of dried peanuts.

Su Xiaoli borrowed a scale from the supply and marketing cooperative, reiterated the purchase price twice, and emphasized the principle of not collecting sand and stones, moldy and long insects.

An aunt standing at the front couldn't wait to hand her a basket.

"Girl, I've been drying peanuts for seven or eight days, and it's very dry, you can weigh it quickly."

Su Xiaoli opened a peanut, two grains in one shell, the particles were full, large and uniform, and the red clothes were translucent.

"Okay, aunt, these peanuts are really good, they are also big, and I will give you 3 cents a pound."

The aunt nodded violently.

The smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be stopped, "Today's peanut harvest is good, in addition to squeezing oil by yourself, there is still a surplus." ”

A few people waiting behind the aunt were a little impatient, "Aunt Zhang, stop chattering, you're still waiting behind." ”

Su Xiaoli showed Aunt Zhang the scales, "Auntie, you are 7 catties and 2 taels, do you think you will exchange them all for money, or will you have some salt or sugar?" ”

Aunt Zhang obviously had already calculated, "Exchange it for 2 yuan, and give the rest to the salt." ”

"Okay!"

Su Xiaoli poured the peanuts into the sack, took out 2 yuan, and took two packets of salt that had been divided at noon and handed them to Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang dipped her fingers in her mouth and counted the two renminbi again, then turned around and walked away with a smile.

A young daughter-in-law came forward with a half-grown male baby and handed Su Xiaoli a basket full of peanuts.

"Girl, look at my family."

"Sister-in-law, this is just dug up, it's so fresh."

Su Xiaoli opened one and tasted it.

The peanuts in the light pink coat smell a light fragrance, and they taste sweet and pure when chewed.

"That's not it, my family planted late, I heard the loudspeaker broadcast in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat at noon, so I'm going to pull it out now, you see that I'm washing it clean." The young daughter-in-law couldn't help but be proud.

Su Xiaoli was also happy, it seems that this trip is the right one.

"It's just 9 pounds and 8 taels, you see you want to ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the young daughter-in-law grabbed and said, "Ask for money, add three more boxes of matches." ”

Matches are consumables, so it's always a good idea to save up a little more.

"Mom, I want to eat candy—" The boy tugged at the corner of the young daughter-in-law's clothes.

The young daughter-in-law was a little hesitant, these days, sugar is more expensive than matches.

"Mom, sugar-" The boy's saliva was about to flow out.

"Okay, girl, then a bag of sugar!" The young daughter-in-law made up her mind.

Su Xiaoli poured the wet peanuts into another sack, lit 1 piece of 5, and gave her sugar and matches, "Sister-in-law, you put it away." ”

The young daughter-in-law pulled the happy doll and walked to the side.

The people in the back are afraid that the salt or sugar they want will be replaced by the one in front, so they scramble to squeeze forward one by one.

A chubby middle-aged woman struggled to pull away from the crowd and handed over a basket, "It's my turn, it's my turn, I want to exchange money and sugar!" ”

Su Xiaoli took a look, picked up another peanut and sniffed it, "Auntie, I won't accept your peanuts." ”

"What are you talking about?" The middle-aged woman's name was Zhang Cuihua, and she immediately lowered her face, "Why don't you accept me!?" ”

"This one of yours is not only sand on the skin, you see, there is mold in it, I can't take it."

Su Xiaoli peeled off the flowers, the red skin had already darkened and wrinkled together, and a layer of yellow-brown mycelium emitted an unpleasant smell of mildew.

"If you say you don't accept it, you won't accept it, won't it be washed if it's moldy?" Zhang Cuihua asked aggressively.

"Yes, you can eat it even if you wash it." An aunt echoed softly.

"Who of us farmers hasn't eaten peanuts like this?" An old man smoking a dry cigarette muttered.

"It's just, if there's anything you can't eat, it's a big deal that you can take it cheaper."

The peanuts in a big brother's bag are similar to those of a middle-aged woman, and he directly gave an idea.

Onlookers also began to talk.

Zhang Cuihua saw that she had received the support of the villagers, and her waist straightened up a little.

Su Xiaoli stood up calmly and glanced around.

When the discussion gradually subsided, she said aloud:

"Grandparents, uncles and aunts, please listen to me, peanuts are moldy and sprout, which is not only unpalatable, but more importantly, it will produce aflatoxins!

Aflatoxin is extremely toxic, and if you eat too much, you will be poisoned! It can cause cancer!

And cancer is currently a terminal disease! No amount of money can be cured, are you willing to eat a few moldy peanuts, but it will cost tens of thousands of yuan to treat the disease? ”

Su Xiaoli calculated the economic accounts, and everyone was suddenly stuck.

Although everyone didn't understand "xanthophyllin" and "cancer", "poisoning", "terminal illness" and "tens of thousands of yuan for treatment" were clearly heard.

Who has seen tens of thousands of dollars in these years, even hundreds of dollars have never seen it!

Zhang Cuihua pouted.

This little yellow-haired girl actually threatens everyone with her illness and spending money, and she doesn't spray this girl with a spittle, thinking that she Zhang Cuihua is a bully!

"Humph! What's the matter, it's just a few peanuts, is it that serious? Clean up some scares. ”

Zhang Cuihua sneered and posed as if she was going to fight.

"It's written in the medical books, if you don't believe it, let's call the doctor in the hospital and ask." Su Xiaoli did not show weakness, and directly raised his authority.

Zhang Cuihua didn't go to elementary school, so naturally she didn't understand.

As soon as Su Xiaoli said this, she was a little panicked.

Su Xiaoli ignored Zhang Cuihua's entanglement.

She looked at the crowd and continued: "Most of the people who came today are my elders, and I will say a big thing, I collect these peanuts to make for people to eat, and it is a work of conscience.

Since I was a child, my father Su Jianguo taught me that I have to act according to my conscience!

I must not let anyone who has eaten it say that he was sick after eating peanuts from our Nanzhule Village! ”
