Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 419: Making Chili Sauce

"Damn it, get out of my way, it’s clearly us who came first."

"Why? Who saw it? Clearly it’s my family who came first?"

"Damn! Good dogs don’t block the road, be careful or I’ll beat you to death."

The sound of swearing came, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and looked over to see two groups starting to fight at the entrance nearby.

The two groups happened to block the entrance tightly, and those eager to sell chili peppers could only worry helplessly.

Uncle Hu Er’s face was dark, these bastards are really idle with nothing to do, can’t go a day without causing trouble?

He went over with a dark face, saw the two groups, took a deep breath, raised his voice: "All of you, stop it right now!"

However, both groups were too engrossed in the fight, completely ignoring him.

Uncle Hu Er’s mouth twitched, then heard Su Xiaoxiao say: "Those who don’t want to sell chili peppers, get out of the way. Today we’ll collect only last ten catties then stop..."

No sooner had the words left her mouth, then the two groups that were just fighting fiercely started rushing into the courtyard.

The people behind who heard the commotion also got anxious.

A small and skinny man squeezed through the stalemate at the entrance carrying a pole.

"Manager Su, look at my peppers. It’s neither too much nor too little, just a little over ten catties."

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful to check, each one plump, the drying moisture was also good, nodded immediately: "Wait, I’ll weigh it for you."

After she spoke, she turned around and shouted outside: "Sorry, we’ve collected enough chili peppers for today. If anyone has ginger or garlic at home, you can bring some over."

The two groups at the entrance who were having a secret tug-of-war immediately disagreed, speaking in unison: "Why did you collect his and not ours? Clearly we came first."

The two were indignant, now they weren’t fighting anymore, but aiming their complaints at Su Xiaoxiao.

Uncle Hu Er resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Why didn’t we collect yours, you should know yourselves? Blocking the entrance like door guardians, how can we collect?"

Both parties looked at each other in confusion, and fell silent in unison.

Had they known, they would have sent the chili peppers inside first.

"Get home quickly, if this happens again, neither of your families need to send here next time."

Uncle Hu Er knocked his cigarette holder on his shoe edge, spoke grimly.

The two immediately got spirited upon hearing there would be a next time.

One of them asked, "Village chief, when will you collect again?"

"It will be notified by loudspeaker, hurry up and leave, all of you are an eyesore here."

Uncle Hu Er unceremoniously chased people away.

After chasing away the troublesome ones, those who couldn’t squeeze in behind were a bit disappointed knowing they wouldn’t collect anymore today, but upon hearing they would collect again in a few days, they got excited again, determined to come earlier next time.

Later, people came to deliver garlic, ginger, etc., materials were collected, Wang Xiuxiu began to make chili sauce.

The process of making chili sauce wasn’t complicated.

Just wash the peppers clean, dry them, cut them into small pieces, then add chopped ginger and garlic, the finer the better.

After chopping, heat oil in a pot, pour the chopped mixture in, stir-fry to bring out the aroma, then add salt, sugar, etc. seasonings sequentially.

After frying almost done, divide and pack into glass jars, and it’s done.

Wang Xiuxiu was busy to the point of chaos by herself, so Su Xiaoxiao found the village chief, wanting him to find a few people to help.

"Village chief, can you find a few good cooks from the village to help? I’ll pay thirty pounds a month, how about that?"

"Thirty?"

Uncle Hu Er’s eyes were about to pop out. They worked for a month and couldn’t see thirty yuan, just to help make chili sauce, he thought Comrade Su was too generous.

"Of course not a problem, I’ll find people for you right away, how many do you want?"

Uncle Hu Er grinned, thinking the village’s good days of prosperity were about to arrive.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, said: "First recruit ten people for trial, then officially hire them if qualified."

"Alright, alright, I’ll go right away."

Uncle Hu Er was so excited he walked with a breeze.

Chen Hai and Hu San came over after finishing their work: "Sister Su, what do we do next?"

"Once the chili sauce is made, you two will go out to find customers. I’m supposed to go back to Binhe City the day after tomorrow. I’ll leave things here to you guys, you can call the department store to reach me if there’s any problem."

Hu San glared: "No, Sister Su, you just got here and you’re leaving?"

"Hmm, I must go back to work."

Though their time together was short, the two had developed a fondness for Su Xiaoxiao as a business partner.

Mainly because she had quite a few rare supplies.

Sensing their concern, Su Xiaoxiao spoke again: "You can call me if you need any supplies."

Last time when she called the department store to report work, she learned from the manager that they specifically equipped her with a telephone, showing they valued her as the newly appointed sales manager.

She immediately took out paper and pen from her bag, wrote down the landline number for the two.

Hearing her say this, the two finally relaxed their worried hearts.

Chen Hai was still a bit embarrassed: "Sister Su, we mainly don’t want you to leave."

Of course, also a bit reluctant to part with your supplies.

While they were talking, Uncle Hu Er marched over with a crowd.

At a glance less than thirty to forty people.

Su Xiaoxiao was a bit stunned, did the village chief misunderstand the number ten?

Uncle Hu Er noticed her confusion, explained awkwardly: "Comrade Su, you see, they all have good skills. I brought them to try work, you can keep whoever you think is suitable, no pressure."

He was quite helpless, really, this group of village women almost tore him apart when they heard they could earn thirty yuan a month.

Everyone was from the same village, as village chief, it wasn’t appropriate to offend anyone, so he thought of letting Su Xiaoxiao, as the boss, decide.

Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched, the village chief was truly skilled at passing the buck.

Luckily, she wasn’t from this village, not afraid of offending anyone.

Wang Xiuxiu just finished making several jars of chili sauce and saw a crowd standing densely in the courtyard, startling her.

"Xiuxiu, you came at the right time, take these people to try making chili sauce, and keep those who do well, the decision is yours."

The few among the crowd who had mocked Wang Xiuxiu before had embarrassed expressions, if they had known they would rely on Wang Xiuxiu one day, they wouldn’t have been so mean to her.

Wondering if they could make amends now.

This girl wouldn’t hold a grudge and directly chase them away, right?

While thinking, heard Wang Xiuxiu’s timid voice: "Ladies and aunties, please follow me..."

It was her first time speaking to so many people, her fingers nervously tugged at her clothes hem, subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoxiao, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.

Su Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up, mouthed: "Xiuxiu, you’re great!"

Wang Xiuxiu’s expression eased a little, smiled at her, and led the people inside.

Once everyone left, Su Xiaoxiao stole a moment to take some chili sauce photos discreetly, and posted them online. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But as soon as she posted them, a series of notification sounds popped up.
