Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The instant noodle factory doesn’t recruit many people, so for now we can just select from the village.

However, now is the pepper harvest season, and almost every household is short of one or two laborers, so life is really hard.

Fortunately, picking peppers is not a hard job. Everyone in the family, young and old, even children of four or five years old, can do it.

Xia Shengsheng specifically instructed the villagers on the method and manner of picking peppers to avoid damaging the plants when picking peppers, which would prevent them from bearing fruit later.

Xia Shengsheng had his own few acres of land, and had wanted to take advantage of the fact that his children were at home these two days and ask them to help pick the ripe peppers.

But before Xia Shengsheng and the children could go to the fields, the peppers from Xia Shengsheng's house were picked up by the villagers.

"Xia family sister, we picked the peppers according to the method you said. We made sure that we didn't damage the peppers or the roots of the plants."

"Yes, we picked ripe peppers. There are still many that have just grown some fruits. They will grow in a few days. You don't have to worry about it. We will definitely pick yours first."

Boss Ma, Li Er and their group of more than 30 people finished picking all the fruits on Xia Shengsheng's land in just one morning.

Not only the more than three acres of newly reclaimed wasteland, but also the two acres of paddy fields that had been planted before.

Although Shuitian has a good drainage system, it is still a bit waterlogged when there is a lot of rain in the summer.

All in all, the harvest is not as good as that from wasteland.

But fortunately it’s not much different.

The families like Ma Lao Da who helped pick peppers today have large populations. Their fields are not idle and people are picking peppers at home.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. You have a lot of work to do at home. Next time, I will take the children with me to pick the fruits! Don't delay everyone's work at home." Xia Shengsheng said quickly.

Ma Dajia waved his hands repeatedly. "What's the point of delaying? We all have large families, and I didn't even call those who couldn't spare the manpower.

Besides, we only had to finish the work in just one morning, so Miss Xia should not feel any psychological burden.

We are able to grow these peppers and then sell them to you at such a high price, so we are getting a good deal.

It's just a little work, but it's not a small matter for us."

"Yes! I haven't used up all my strength yet, but I have already finished this little job. Aunt Xia, please trust us to grow the peppers in the field. Is it really necessary for you to do such a small job?"

"Yes, it won't take much time. If Sister-in-law Xia has anything to do, just tell her. We can do it!"

Others also responded.

Seeing what the family said, Xia Shengsheng could only nod helplessly and asked Ercheng and the other children to serve some mung bean soup to everyone and told them to drink it before going back to work.

All these peppers were first gathered in the empty factory, which also contained more than a thousand kilograms of dried peppers that Xia Shengsheng bought from Qiqi in the past two months.

Adding these, it is also a considerable amount of money.

"I'll go check out the factory. Ercheng, you guys stay at home. If anyone brings the picked peppers over, come back and call me."

"I know, mother!"

"Mom, I'll go with you to help!"

"Mom, I'm going too!"

Xia Shengsheng looked at her two daughters who had been studying in the provincial capital for more than two months.

Not only has her temperament changed, but her voice has also become gentler.

Yiyi is very talented in studying. When Xia Shengsheng went to pick her up this time, Mr. Yu and Xia Shengsheng repeatedly praised Yiyi many times.

It can even be said that Yiyi's achievement in two months of study is higher than that of a child who has studied with her for a year.

I can't like Yiyi enough.

Shanshan's embroidery skills have also improved by leaps and bounds.

Some time ago, I embroidered a set of clothes for Xia Shengsheng. The clothes were embroidered with rose-red peonies. The peonies were embroidered very realistically, and Xia Shengsheng liked them very much.

But Mrs. Su did not reveal any useful information.

I don’t know whether he will accept Shanshan as his disciple in the end.

"You two have finally come back, and the family has been very busy these two days, so you haven't had a good rest. You have worked so hard." Xia Shengsheng said, touching the cheeks of the two children.

Yiyi and Shanshan shook their heads.

"Mom, please don't say that. Being able to come back and help the family will make me feel better. Besides, as long as I can see mom and my brothers, I will be happy. There is no such thing as hard work or not."

"Yes! Mom, my sister can come back twice a month, but I can only come back once. Only mom and my brothers are busy with housework, but because I have mom, I can learn whatever I want. I feel so happy. Please don't ever say anything about how hard it is in the future."

Yiyi seems to be a very stable person, while Shanshan is stable but also lively.

I guess he remembered the rules, but that couldn't hide his lively nature.

Xia Shengsheng's children all know how to be grateful, and each of them is very easy to take care of, never letting Xia Shengsheng worry about how to teach their children!

Xia Shengsheng felt like she had really found a treasure to have such a well-behaved and sensible child!

Just when I was feeling moved, I counted and found that there were only four of the five children left.

No one knew where Sicheng had gone.

Alas! It seems there is still one more thing that is worrying me.

……

Xia Shengsheng doesn't have to worry about the vermicelli factory at all now.

But instant noodle factories are different.

Xia Shengsheng taught Chen Siyao how to make instant noodles.

Chen Siyao is responsible for training the nine newly recruited people.

The nine people were divided into three groups, each responsible for three departments.

Some make noodles, some make sauces, and some make seasoning packets.

Everyone has their own room and they don't come into contact with each other, unlike the vermicelli factory.

Almost every group does it from start to finish.

Making instant noodles is still a technical job.

I broke down the entire process and assigned it to different people. This way, if I hired people from other villages in the future, not one person would know the entire process or know my skills in making instant noodles.

Xia Shengsheng has a secret recipe for making the sauce, which he learned from a book.

After repeated experiments, Xia Shengsheng found that using special seasonings could make instant noodles taste better, and even taste better than that of a certain chef or someone else.

This secret recipe is added by Xia Shengsheng himself after the workers have made the sauce. It does not go through anyone else's hands at all. Currently, only Xia Shengsheng himself knows it.

Xia Shengsheng thought about teaching this secret recipe to a few children, so that if he gets busy in the future, there will be someone to share the work.

But Yiyi and Shanshan only come back once or twice a month and can't help at home at all.

Ercheng and Ye Chao go home every day, but they are too busy.

Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, they even have to sacrifice Xia Shengsheng's time, which is not up to them.

The youngest, Sicheng, is the one who has the most time.

It's just that he is too young and can't do much. Besides, he is at the age when he loves to play and can't concentrate on studying at all.

So for the time being, Xia Shengsheng has to do it alone.
