The other children near the little girl looked at the excited little girl with eyes full of excitement.
In an instant, this little girl became the most envied person by the other little girls present.
Seeing how happy the little girl was, Ye Qingqing also smiled.
Ye Qingqing took back the money he gave to the villagers and said: "Uncle, the original price of our fabric was 50 cents per foot. If you buy it with the bamboo shoot receipt, you can get a 10% discount, which is 45 cents per foot."
Twenty-seven yuan divided by forty-five cents equals sixty-one point six feet. You go and wait in line to get the cloth!"
As soon as Ye Qingqing finished speaking, he collected the money and handed the villager's bill to the villager who was responsible for calculating the price of the cloth.
After the villager who was responsible for calculating the price of selling cloth received the bill, he quickly calculated it on the abacus in front of him based on the amount of money on the bill, and then asked the villager who was responsible for pulling the cloth to pull the corresponding cloth.
A moment later, in less than twenty seconds, 61.6 feet of fabric appeared in the hands of the villagers who bought the fabric.
Many villagers who were watching at the scene looked at the fabrics in the hands of the villagers who were buying fabrics, and they all sneaked out of the crowd with enthusiasm.
I ran and moved bamboo shoots overnight.
The bamboo shoots sold by the second, third, and fourth villagers were slightly less than those sold by the first villager.
But the minimum cost is twenty yuan.
As money was spent in vain, it was so tempting that the eyes of the villagers present were shining with gold.
When the first few villagers finished selling their bamboo shoots, except for the villagers who were waiting in line to sell mountain products, everyone else ran to the mountains to move bamboo shoots.
After Wang Daya put the three children to sleep, they all carried baskets on their backs and went into the night with a machete.
Tonight, the bamboo forest on the mountain near Bone Village is very lively, as if it is celebrating the New Year.
Most of the villagers were busy moving bamboo shoots, but Ye Qingqing was not idle either. He quickly ordered people to build a dozen earth stoves with stones under the greenhouse overnight.
After each earth stove was built, a newly purchased large iron pot with a diameter of two meters was installed. Ye Qingqing also directed people to pour the purchased bamboo shoots into the iron pot and blanch the bamboo shoots.
Bamboo shoots are cold in nature, and cold can overcome heat, so they have the effect of clearing away heat.
Eating bamboo shoots can relieve fever syndrome caused by the invasion of external evils, and can improve symptoms such as depression and depression caused by a person's deficiency of fire that disturbs the heart. Bamboo shoots can also stimulate the appetite and strengthen the spleen, promote digestion, and enhance appetite.
In addition, bamboo shoots are also a high-fiber food. Cellulose cannot be absorbed by the human body and will accumulate in the small intestine. After absorbing sufficient water, it will stimulate the small intestinal wall and accelerate intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, bamboo shoots can also prevent constipation.
Although bamboo shoots have many health benefits, fresh bamboo shoots often have a bitter or astringent taste.
Blanching bamboo shoots can remove the bitterness and astringency of bamboo shoots, and also remove the rich oxalic acid contained in bamboo shoots.
In fact, bitterness and astringency don't matter. If you don't blanch the bamboo shoots to remove too much oxalic acid, eating such bamboo shoots will be harmful to your health. Excessive oxalic acid will affect the body's absorption of calcium.
Ye Qingqing had to make money, but Ye Qingqing also had to ensure the safety of the goods.
Ye Qingqing does not sell products that are harmful to people's health.
Therefore, when Ye Qingqing purchased the bamboo shoots, he had to go through the process of blanching them.
After the bamboo shoots were boiled in the big iron pot until they made a "ping, ping, bang, bang" explosion, Ye Qingqing knew that the bamboo shoots were blanched in place, and asked someone to take the blanched bamboo shoots out of the big pot with a hollow spoon.
Come, put it aside in a clean large wooden basin filled with cold water that you have prepared in advance.
As soon as the scalding hot bamboo shoots are put into the cold mountain spring water, the temperature of the bamboo shoots immediately drops, so low that it doesn't feel hot to touch the bamboo shoots.
Ye Qingqing then directed his staff to tear each of the blanched bamboo shoots into quarters evenly in the large wooden basin.
Lay it flat on the large dustpan made of woven bamboo prepared in advance.
Next to the big iron pot for blanching bamboo shoots, all the bamboo craftsmen in the village who are good at weaving bamboo dustpans are working intensively and overnight under the light of bright candles to weave bamboo dustpans for drying bamboo shoots.
These bamboo craftsmen were all invited by Ye Qingqing before he went to propose marriage with Wang Erwa. They were asked to work overnight. Ye Qingqing offered them five times the salary they usually paid for working for others.
With the blessing of generous financial rewards, each bamboo craftsman worked hard with all his strength.
Everyone wished they could learn some magic skills and weave all the bamboo dustpans Ye Qingqing wanted in an instant.
Next to the bamboo craftsman who was weaving the bamboo dustpan, there were several carpenters holding various tools for carpentry and making a frame for placing the bamboo dustpan.
If bamboo shoots that have just been blanched and then torn open in cold water are placed in a bamboo dustpan, water will leak and the outer layer at the bottom of the bamboo dustpan will become wet.
Therefore, if the bamboo dustpan is placed on the ground like this, it will be wet and will be stained with dust and other dirt.
In order to avoid soiling the bamboo dustpan and to make it easier to drain the bamboo shoots in the bamboo dustpan, Ye Qingqing equipped each bamboo dustpan with an exclusive placement frame.
In the open space next to the busy carpenter, there are about a dozen villagers holding baskets, shovels, and hoes, leveling the ground overnight and digging a place for drying bamboo shoots during the day.
Ye Qingqing's job of purchasing bamboo shoots has given nearly a hundred people in Bone Village an opportunity to work and earn money just within a 100-meter radius of blanching bamboo shoots.
Nearly a hundred people were working in full swing in the greenhouse. Not to mention the noise produced while working, it was very loud and everyone was still talking.
The Lu family's house is next to the greenhouse, and the soundproofing of the house is poor. Bai Xuefeng listened to various noises coming from the greenhouse next door.
Couldn't sleep at all.
Bai Xuefeng stopped sleeping for the time being and got up to watch Ye Qingqing instructing the villagers to process bamboo shoots.
Bai Xuefeng watched for a long time, but didn't see the shadow of sulfur, so he pulled Ye Qingqing to the corner and curiously asked in a low voice: "Boss Ye, why didn't I see the shadow of sulfur?"
"I didn't see anyone setting up a stove to smoke and dry bamboo shoots with sulfur."
"Is it because the sulfur hasn't been bought yet and the stove for smoking the bamboo shoots hasn't been set up yet, or are you planning to just dry the bamboo shoots in the sun without fumigating them with sulfur?"
Ye Qingqing shook his head slightly and said: "I plan to just dry the bamboo shoots in the sun tomorrow. When there is no sun, I will set up a stove to dry them without sulfur fumigation."
"Brother Bai, you are a college student. You have naturally attended high school. You should know that the sulfur in sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide, which reacts with water to form sulfurous acid.
Sulfurous acid has an irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, and it can also destroy vitamin B1. You should also know that vitamin B1 has a great impact on the absorption of calcium by our body, so sulfurous acid can also affect the absorption of calcium by the human body."
"Eating too much sulfur-smoked food will not only affect the body's calcium absorption, but also damage the human digestive tract and respiratory system, damage the mucous membranes of these organs, lead to mutations, and thus induce cancer and asthma.
In addition, eating too much sulfur-smoked food will also damage the liver and kidney function of the human body. The liver and kidney functions are the detoxification organs of our body. Once they are damaged, they will induce various diseases."
Bai Xuefeng was silent for two seconds, nodded and said: "Indeed."
"You are right. If someone eats something smoked with sulfur, there will indeed be a lot of harm."
"The disadvantages I just mentioned are the disadvantages of fumigating with sulfur of good quality and purity.
If the sulfur used to smoke food is of poor quality and low purity, it will contain more heavy metals such as lead and mercury.
Brother Bai, you have been in high school, do you know the consequences of consuming lead, mercury and other heavy metals?"
Bai Xuefeng thought for two seconds and then said: "Heavy metals such as lead and mercury are chronically toxic. Long-term consumption or short-term consumption of large amounts will lead to chronic poisoning, affect the growth and development of children, and may also cause polyneuropathy."
inflammation, bone marrow atrophy and other symptoms.”
As soon as Bai Xuefeng finished speaking, Ye Qingqing put his hands on his hips and said, "That's right, that's right. Brother Bai, you didn't remember anything wrong. You said everything right."
"Brother Bai, this sulfur smoked thing has so many harmful effects, let's not use it anymore!"
Bai Xuefeng raised his hand and touched his chin, frowned and said: "But, Boss Ye, I have seen people processing bamboo shoots like you.
This bamboo shoot does not need to be smoked with sulfur. When it dries, its color will turn yellow and it will not be white or beautiful."
“Ingredients that look white, beautiful, and sell well make it easier for people to buy them.
It will be more difficult to sell ingredients that are not white, not pretty, and don’t look good. The appearance of ingredients that are used to make money is also very important.”
"There are very few people who have attended high school anyway, and even fewer of those who have attended high school can learn chemistry well.
Those who have gone to high school, studied chemistry well, and happen to be able to buy our bamboo shoots, and who also know that our bamboo shoots are smoked with sulfur, are very few, not one in ten thousand.”
"So 99.9% of our customers have no idea about the harmful effects of eating sulfur-smoked bamboo shoots.
Besides, no matter how harmful it is to eat sulfur-smoked bamboo shoots, it is unlikely to cause death. After all, no one would eat bamboo shoots every day.
When it comes to things that have a lot of poisons and harmful effects, it’s impossible not to talk about the dosage.”
"The ultimate goal of our business is to make money. Don't forget our purpose."
"I haven't forgotten our purpose, but I just want to make money, I don't harm anyone." Ye Qingqing said firmly.
When Bai Xuefeng heard Ye Qingqing's words, he smiled and said with a smile: "Boss Ye, you are serious. Eating sulfur-smoked bamboo shoots will not kill anyone. We are not doing any harm by smoking bamboo shoots with sulfur."
people."
“When making money, you can’t be too conscientious, you can’t be too serious, and you can’t be too strict with yourself.
Now let alone bamboo shoots, which are just for food, many people smoke them with sulfur, and many life-saving Chinese medicines are smoked with sulfur."
"Come to Wang Xiaxuan's father in your village. He is a large supplier of traditional Chinese medicine. Many of the medicinal materials in his hands are fumigated or steamed with sulfur. Apart from making a lot of money, he has nothing else to do.
.
Others dare to use sulfur fumigation as a life-saving medicine, but they don’t think it is harmful to people. Why should we think that we are harming people just because eating sulfur fumigated food has little harm to the human body?
Don’t use it?”
After Bai Xuefeng finished speaking, he was thinking that the money-loving Ye Qingqing would be convinced by him, when Ye Qingqing suddenly said: "Is there anything wrong with him?"
"Wang Xiaxuan must have suffered the consequences of his father's evil deeds and met such a bitch like Wang Guobin."
Bai Xuefeng: "..."
Bai Xuefeng choked at Ye Qingqing's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched silently. He looked at Bai Xuefeng with a speechless face and retorted: "What Wang Xiaxuan and his father did are two different things. You can't compare them like this."
"If you put it like that, then what happened to my sister is because someone in my family has done something wrong?"
Ye Qingqing pursed her lips and whispered: "Yes."
"You know very well what your grandfather's generation did to become rich, and what your father did when he took your family to immigrate overseas, right? Do you want me to explain it clearly?"
"Don't you think those things are sins?"
"This..." As soon as Bai Xuefeng said a word, Ye Qingqing said again: "If you think that what they did is not evil, then why are you alienated from your grandfather and father because of this?"
"Why do you hate them for that?"
"Why don't you use the finances they have accumulated to take your sister and leave your home alone to make money in society on your own?"
"Don't say everything I said is false."
Bai Xuefeng was left speechless by Ye Qingqing's series of questions.
Bai Xuefeng didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. He sat down on the spot and raised his hands to cover his face and said, "Okay!"
"You are right."
"If you don't want to smoke these bamboo shoots with sulfur, don't smoke them with sulfur. They don't look as good as those smoked with sulfur. The worst is that we can sell less and make less money. We can invest more money in promoting the bamboo shoots."
Seeing that Bai Xuefeng, the investment partner, agreed to the decision not to smoke the bamboo shoots with sulfur, Ye Qingqing smiled and said with satisfaction: "That's it, Brother Bai, you can never make enough money. I would rather make less money.
We don’t earn any money from unconscionable crimes.”
"Just do it for yourself and your descendants!"
"The people in your family are actually very blessed. Your ancestors have accumulated great virtues. You see, your grandfather and father committed so many evil things back then, but you and your sister are still so rich and smart, and they can still be successful in times of trouble.
, there are noble people to help.
The accumulation of virtue is actually the same as money. Doing evil means losing money. If you have more money, you will still have a lot of money if you lose. But if you waste money from generation to generation and don't accumulate and save money, no matter how much money you have, there will always be a generation.
It will be defeated."
"If you don't believe in accumulating virtue, think about it from another perspective. Generations of your family have committed evil, and naturally there will be many enemies in each generation.
As long as one of your enemies has the opportunity to develop that day, or if the other party seizes the opportunity to harm your family, they will attack your family. The more times your family is harmed by evil-doing enemies, they will naturally cross the border.
.”
"As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves missing you. Why do you do evil and attract enemies who will miss you every day?"
When Bai Xuefeng heard this, he immediately clasped his hands together, bowed to Ye Qingqing, and said, "Ye Qingqing, I am really convinced by you."
"I really don't believe in that thing about virtue, I'm a materialist.
But now that you are a man and have convinced me not to do evil things, I think you are also my noble person."
Ye Qingqing waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about noble people or not. You just need to stop doing evil things in the business we work with."
I don’t care whether you will do evil things in the future, I will remind you of the disadvantages anyway.
If I find out that you are doing something bad in the business we are cooperating with, we will terminate the cooperation immediately."
