Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 117: Go to the College Town to Sell New Year’s Goods

Chapter 117: Go to the College Town to Sell New Year’s Goods

Ji Jianyun asked three women in the village to help with drying persimmons. One of them was Ji Jianchuan’s wife. There was also Ji Jianyun’s cousin.

The last one was someone introduced to them by sister Xu. When Su Danhong brought a few jin of persimmons in the past, she mentioned it to her. Sister Xu accepted her gift, and then recommended a family member.

She was the third sister-in-law of her maternal family. She was also from this village, but she had not worked in the orchard on the mountain yet.

She was an honest and diligent worker, otherwise sister Xu would not have recommended someone that could ruin her reputation.

The most important thing for sister Xu was that third Xu sister-in-law came and had them meet to see if she could be recruited as a long-term worker when Su Danhong needed someone in the future. That way her family’s life would be much easier later.

Su Danhong knew what she meant, so as soon as sister Xu gave the recommendation, she said, “Sister, the mountain is looking for another long-term job, but Jianyun gave it to his cousin and he has already been working for a few days.”

Sister Xu was a little disappointed when she heard that, but she said gracefully, “It’s all right, just let her do it short term. You can watch over her. If she’s lazy, you tell me. Don’t hide something like that from me.”

“I think third Xu sister-in-law will be a good worker. If I need a short term worker in the future, I’ll ask my mother to ask her first,” Su Danhong said with a smile.

This meant that long-term workers were not needed for the time being, but there were plenty of opportunities to be short-term workers.

So when sister Xu heard this, her mood brightened. No wonder her family told her to build a relationship with Jianyun’s family. It was comforting to see how things were handled.

In addition to these short-time workers, there was also one of Mother Ji’s elder sisters.

Last time, they hired two elder sisters, but then there was another one. When the spots were full, the others couldn’t take a turn. They begged Mother Ji to give them a chance. She told them not to worry, they all had a chance. As long as they did a good job, they would be asked to help in the future.

If they didn’t at this moment, then they should work on hatching eggs. Once there are chicks, she’ll come to collect them.

Before drying persimmons, they had to wash, dry and peel them. This was all done by everyone in those three days. Now they only need to be responsible for drying and flattening the persimmons.

It was not difficult, but there was too much. Most of the open land was for the persimmon drying racks. The racks required someone to look after it.

Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun were busy cleaning and feeding sheeps and chickens, as well as fertilizing the fruit trees for a good harvest next year.

And it is getting cold now. They had to collect grass and save it for the sheep, which was a lot of work.

So Ji Jianyun went to ask Ji Jianchuan if he wanted to do it. If not, he would have to ask someone else.

There were many people coming to work on the mountain that were from the village. It was because Ji Jianchuan was very good and was a relative that Ji Jianyun gave him priority for this.

Ji Jianchuan was going to come to work tomorrow. There was still a lot of work at home today. When he was done today, he could come to work tomorrow. His wife was also working at the orchard, so they could be considered as a dual working parent household.

As for the children in the family, they were not worried. Whose children in the village were not tasked freely?

And they were not required to stay in the mountains all day. ♥*♡∞:｡.｡ 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮 ｡.｡:∞♡*♥

When the work was done, regardless of whether they were a long-term worker or a short-term one, they could go home early. But long-term workers were long-term workers and they were usually relatively busy. After all, they were paid so much every month, and it wasn’t for nothing, right?

For the three short term workers, third Xu sister-in-law, Jianchuan’s wife, and Aunt Le, as long as they were quick to finish their job of turning over the dried persimmons, they could go back at around 11:30. Then they came back to work after making lunch and taking a break.

There was a lot of work, but the job itself was not too strenuous.

After more than ten days of drying, it was almost done, but some flattening needed to be done repeatedly. It was already mid-October when it was fully finished.

They put these persimmon cakes into boxes and let them produce sugar powder on their own. When it was the twelfth lunar month, Ji Jianyun would drive to the college town to sell them!

This batch of dried persimmons was really good. The flesh was red and yellow, thick and sticky, and the m shape was flat and round. It was not long before it had white sugar powder. He ate one and it was very sweet and delicious!

They had a lot of dried persimmons for this batch. They gave some to relatives and friends, but there was a lot left.

These dried persimmons were put in the storeroom on the mountain.

When the dried persimmons were finished, Ji Jianyun began to collect the chicks from the villagers. Some of the hens sat in their nests early, and by this time some chicks were already born.

Ji Jianyun planned to have a lot of chicks this time. There were three workers for the chicken coop now, so he was not worried about the chickens receiving poor care.

The most important thing was for him to raise these chicks until the beginning of next spring. Instead of keeping them to lay eggs, he would transport them to the college town to sell them!

Thus, he bought more chiks from the villagers.

After taking one chick after another, there were hundreds of them. With this added to with their own hens brooding, there could be almost 500 to 600 chicks.

With so many chicks, the chicken coop would definitely have to be expanded. The long-term workers on the mountain had another job to do.

It was getting colder and colder and they arrived at the twelfth lunar month. Su Jindang told the villagers ahead of time that he would not come to collect the vegetables for tomorrow. Instead, he would pick it up one night earlier, because he was going to the college town with Ji Jianyun tomorrow. Thus, the vegetables had to be delivered in advance.

Everyone in the village understood, so they prepared the vegetables for Su Jindang that night. It was cold, so the vegetables would not spoil overnight.

Su Jindang knew it was his family’s business, so he invited Mother Su to come over to help. With Mother Su, it would be all right.

So on this day, Ji Jianyun took Su Jindang to the college town.

This time he brought a truckload full of honey, dried persimmon, eggs and live chickens, as well as several sheeps.

Su Jindang was also a little worried about whether everything they brought would be sold or not.

Once he experienced how business was in the college town, his worries were alleviated.

At first, he thought his family’s business in town was excellent, but he didn’t expect that it would be nothing compared to Jianyun’s business in this college town.

He saw how excited these uncles and aunts were. When they saw Jianyun, it was like they were meeting their son-in-law. It was heartwarming.

They asked about fruit, meat, eggs, honey and so on.

Then he saw that Jianyun asked them to stand in line. He helped to unload the things from the truck and heard how delighted everyone sounded.

Su Jindang was responsible for chopping the meat, and Ji Jianyun was responsible for collecting the money. Although it was not Lao Qin who was here this time, they still worked well together. These uncles and aunts were all standing in line, and none of them jumped the queue. They all waited in line slowly!
