Chapter 8 I won’t accept these peanuts
"Okay, come back to the village with me. This year we have harvested a lot more peanuts and sweet potatoes, and the sorghum harvest is [-]% good, but the ones on the mountains are not yet ripe. What do you want?"

Su Yuhe is an expert in farming, and every household in the village has a clear harvest!
Su Xiaoli thought about it for a while.

Now is the season when autumn tigers are strong. Roasted sweet potatoes may not be in hot sale yet, and most people in the county eat white flour rice, so sorghum may not be sold.

"Then I'll just collect the peanuts. According to the market price, the shelled and dried ones are 3 cents per catty, and the wet ones are 2 cents per catty. They can also be exchanged for sugar, salt or matches. Do you think so?"

In the countryside, we are not used to using "kilogram" as the unit of measurement, so we still use the local method. Ten taels equals one catty. This algorithm is familiar to the folks.

Su Yuhe quickly made a mental calculation.

"Sure, no one loses at this price, and it also saves the villagers the travel expenses to the county grain station."

He paused and then said: "I will make a broadcast on the loudspeaker first, have dinner at home at noon, and ask them to bring the extra 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.

When Su Xiaoli came to the primary school playground after lunch, many people had gathered in twos and threes.

Before leaving home, Grandma Su gave her all the salary she had just received. Calculated, she had a total of more than 40 yuan, which could at least collect 100 kilograms of dried peanuts.

Su Xiaoli borrowed a steelyard from the supply and marketing cooperative, reiterated the purchase price twice, and emphasized the principle of not accepting sand, stones, or mold and insects.

An aunt standing at the front could not wait to hand her a basket.

"Girl, my peanuts have been drying for seven or eight days. They are very dry. Please weigh them quickly."

Su Xiaoli opened a peanut. There were two peanuts in one shell. The particles were plump, uniform in size, and the red color was translucent.

"Okay, Auntie, these peanuts are really good and big. I'll pay you 3 cents a pound."

The aunt nodded sharply.

The smile on her lips was unstoppable, "Today's peanut harvest is good. In addition to pressing the oil myself, there is still a surplus."

The few people waiting behind the aunt were a little impatient, "Aunt Zhang, stop nagging, we are still waiting behind you."

Su Xiaoli showed Aunt Zhang the scale, "Aunt, this is 7 pounds and 2 taels. Do you want to change it all into money, or do you want some more salt or sugar?"

Aunt Zhang had obviously made her plans a long time ago, "Just exchange it for 2 yuan and give the rest to salt."

"okay!"

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

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

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

"Sister, look at my house."

"Sister-in-law, this must have been just dug out. It's so fresh."

Su Xiaoli opened one and tasted it.

The peanuts in the light pink coat have a light fragrance and taste sweet and pure.

"No, my family planted it late. I heard the loudspeaker broadcast in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat lunch. I went to pluck it now. Look at how clean I am." The young daughter-in-law couldn't help but feel proud.

Su Xiaoli was also happy. It seemed that she had come to the right place.

"It happens to be 9 pounds and 8 taels. Look, you want to..."

Before she could finish speaking, the young wife rushed over and said, "If you want money, please add three boxes of matches."

Matches are consumables, so it’s always a good idea to take this opportunity to save more.

"Mom, I want to eat sweets--" The boy tugged at the corner of the young wife's clothes.

The young wife was a little hesitant. Sugar is more expensive than matches these days. "Mom, candy-" The boy's saliva was almost drooling.

"Okay, sister, let's get a bag of candy!" The young wife made up her mind.

Su Xiaoli poured the wet peanuts into another sack, ordered 1 yuan, and gave her candy and matches, "Sister-in-law, please keep them."

The young daughter-in-law took the happy baby to the side.

People behind are afraid that the salt or sugar they want will be taken away by those in front, so they rush forward one by one.

A fat middle-aged woman struggled to push away the crowd and handed over a basket, "It's my turn, it's my turn, I want to change money and candy!"

Su Xiaoli took a quick look, then picked up another peanut and smelled it, "Auntie, I won't accept this peanut from you."

"What are you talking about!" The middle-aged woman named Zhang Cuihua suddenly lost her temper, "Why don't you accept me!?"

"This of yours not only has sand on the skin, you see, it's also moldy inside. I can't accept it."

Su Xiaoli peeled the peanuts open. The red skin had turned dark and wrinkled, and a layer of yellow-brown hyphae gave off an unpleasant smell of mildew.

"You won't accept it if you say you won't. If it's moldy, why don't you just clean it?" Zhang Cuihua asked aggressively.

"Yes, you can eat it even after washing." An aunt agreed softly.

"Who among us farmers has never eaten peanuts like this?" an old man smoking a cigarette muttered.

"That's right, if there's anything you can't eat, you can get it cheaper at worst."

The peanuts in a big brother’s bag were similar to those of a middle-aged woman, so he immediately gave me an idea.

The onlookers also started talking about it.

Seeing the support from the villagers, Zhang Cuihua straightened her back.

Su Xiaoli stood up calmly and glanced around.

When the discussion gradually died down, she said loudly:
“Grandparents, uncles and aunts, please listen to me. Peanuts that grow moldy and sprout are not only unpalatable, but more importantly, they produce aflatoxin!
Aflatoxin is extremely toxic, and you will be poisoned if you eat too much!Can cause cancer!

And cancer is currently a terminal disease!No amount of money can be spent to cure it. Are you willing to eat a few moldy peanuts, only to end up spending tens of thousands of dollars on treatment? "

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

Although no one understood the words "flavonoid" and "cancer", they could clearly hear "poisoning", "terminal illness" and "tens of thousands of dollars in medical treatment expenses".

Who has seen tens of thousands these days, but not even hundreds of dollars!

Zhang Cuihua pouted.

This little yellow-haired girl actually threatened everyone with spending money when she was sick. Damn it, if you didn't spit on this girl's face, you'd think Zhang Cuihua was easy to bully, right?
"Hmph! It's just a few peanuts. Is it so serious? It's just to scare people."

Zhang Cuihua sneered and looked like she was going to fight.

"It's written in the medical books. If you don't believe it, let's ask the doctor from the hospital." Su Xiaoli didn't show any weakness and directly expressed her authority.

Zhang Cuihua has never been to elementary school, so naturally she doesn't understand.

When Su Xiaoli said these words, she felt a little panicked.

Su Xiaoli ignored Zhang Cuihua's entanglement.

She looked at everyone and continued: "Most of the people here today are my elders. To put it bluntly, I collect these peanuts for people to eat, and it is a conscientious job.

Since I was a child, my father Su Jianguo has taught me that I must act with my conscience in everything I do!
I will never let anyone who has eaten it say that he got sick after eating peanuts from our Nanzhu Le Village! "
