Chapter 59 Fighting Fire with Fire
Bai Dashan waved his hand: "No need, no need, your father and I have plenty of strength."

Bai Taotao persuaded patiently: "Dad, if you calculate it this way, how many can you collect in a day if you come to collect it at your door? How many can you collect in a day when the villagers send it to the designated place?"

"Look, the child has already planned it. She has a plan in her heart. Just listen to her." Bai Zhou next to her looked at her daughter and said with a proud smile.

Bai Taotao continued to add: "You go to each house to collect them. If you break your legs in one day, you may not be able to collect them all in one village. Moreover, you have to drag the harvested peanuts all over the village, and the cows will be exhausted."

"Dad, you knew how to persuade me and Xiaomei just now, but you can't figure it out yourself. You just listen to my little sister." Xu Daya said with a smile.

After listening to his daughter's words, Bai Dashan felt that this was indeed the case. Although he had to spend more money to go out, at this rate, he might be able to visit a village a day, or a village in the morning and a village in the afternoon.

Then he nodded and agreed: "That's OK, then I'll do as you say."

At this time, Zhu Xiaomei suggested again: "My little sister bought so many peanuts at one time, it is best to collect dried peanuts, otherwise the peanuts will go bad after only a few days, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

"That's right, that's right. If it's broken, it's all money!" Xu Daya echoed.

After Bai Dashan and his wife heard this, they watched Bai Taotao nod fiercely. The whole family was afraid that she had not thought of this, with anxious expressions on their faces, and her head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Bai Taotao looked at the expressions of the whole family and said with a smile: "Look, let me just say that the two sisters-in-law are smart! You have thought of this for me. When you buy it, try to collect dried peanuts. If there are any folks I’m in a hurry for money, so if I want to sell freshly picked peanuts, we’ll just take them anyway.”

Xu Daya and Zhu Xiaomei nodded.

"Besides, I feel relieved to leave this job to you, but I can't let your work go in vain. For every sack of peanuts you purchase, I will give you twenty cents for your hard work."

"This..." When Zhu Xiaomei heard the price, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

Xu Daya hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands in refusal: "No, no, you are giving too much. You give us ten or twenty cents a day, and we are very satisfied. You give us so much in a sack." money."

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Xiaomei quickly echoed, fearing that it would be too late and her sister would misunderstand that she was not happy.

Bai Taotao had already expected that her sisters-in-law would refuse, so she smiled and said: "Sisters-in-law, don't refuse in a hurry. These twenty coins are not easy to earn. I have a request. First of all, you must help when buying peanuts. I check the goods, there can be no bad ones, flat ones or empty shells."

"You helped me inspect the goods in advance. The peanuts collected can be processed directly. Then I will be able to hire fewer quality inspection workers when I open the processing workshop. So is this money saved by your help? In addition, after the goods are collected, you have to help me deliver the goods to the processing workshop when they arrive, which is all laborious work."

"So you deserve this money. If you refuse, then I will have to find someone else, and I can't trust anyone else."

"Okay, one or two of you, please stop pushing around. Just follow what Tao said, if you do your job well, it's better than anything else. If Tao is willing to pay you such a high salary, that's not it. Because they are a family, she also wants to help this family. From now on, the family will handle things together. Tao’s affairs are also your business. When Tao makes money, you will have the opportunity to make money, so you must be happy when doing things for Tao in the future, but don’t Do you understand that all kinds of people come to join us and listen to all kinds of nonsense?"

Bai Zhou said and looked at the two daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Bai Zhou is a sensible person and knows her daughter's intentions. Instead of pushing her here and there, she would rather give her two daughters-in-law a good beating.

It is okay for the two daughters-in-law to do things, but they are afraid that they will forget their roots when they make money in the future. They are both good, but it does not mean that their parents' families are all good.

Of course, their Tao business will need manpower in the future, and if Tao is a good person and is willing to use it, she will not stop him, but if he comes to fight against the autumn wind, don't blame her for being rude.

Seeing that her mother-in-law said so, Bai Taotao's two sisters-in-law did not shirk anymore.

In this way, Baitaotao and her parents' family made the initial decision to purchase peanuts and open a food processing workshop. After the peanuts at home were weighed and the money was settled on the spot, Baitaotao took the peanuts back first.

Seeing that her daughter is now being taken care of, Bai Zhou can finally let go of her worries.

Bai Taotao returned to Shihe Village. When passing by the village, she couldn't help but glance at the yard of the second room of the Chen family.

Chen Xiaohua, who was originally lying on the haystack in the morning, is no longer there.

I don’t know if he was rescued or not.

However, Bai Taotao didn't care much about the result. When she got home, she went to catch up on her sleep.

The job of making peanuts was left to Aunt Tan and Aunt Jin.

Since she was still thinking about buying land to build a food processing factory, she didn't sleep long in the afternoon. After squinting for a while, she got up and walked to Naizheng's house.

When passing by the old locust tree in the village, several older people were chatting there. Seeing Bai Taotao coming, everyone smiled and greeted Bai Taotao.

"Daughter-in-law Youyi, where are you going?"

Bai Taotao stopped and replied politely: "Mr. Chen, are you chatting? I'm going to find Li Zheng to do something."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she didn't ask any more questions. She waved and whispered to Bai Taotao to come over and talk: "Daughter-in-law Youyi, come here."

Bai Taotao looked at several amiable old people, and then walked towards them.

"Have you heard about Xiaohua?" As soon as Bai Taotao came over, Mrs. Chen looked at Bai Taotao and asked in a low voice.

Bai Taotao shook her head and replied: "What happened to her? Did you hear in the morning that she was bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday? I was in a hurry to deliver the goods, so I didn't know much about it. What's wrong? It was the second roommate of the Chen family who was unwilling to spend money to save herself. Your daughter?"

After hearing Bai Taotao's words, Mrs. Zhao raised her lips and said, "That old woman is notoriously picky. It's strange that she is willing to spend money to find a doctor to prescribe medicine."

Bai Taotao was a little confused when she heard this and asked, "What about that? Is Chen Xiaohua gone?"

Chen Po said: "Not yet, that's right. Doctor Zheng of our village gave her a piece of earthwork and asked her to find some centipedes, crush them and eat them, or apply them on the wounds. It is said that the poison of centipedes can also detoxify some venomous snakes."

Bai Taotao said again: "So the doctor treated the dead horse as a living horse and saved it?"

The method of fighting poison with poison is generally effective for Chen Xiaohua's situation, as long as the right method is used.

In ancient times, many earth recipes appeared because ordinary people had no money to find doctors, so many earth recipes were slowly produced. Useful earth recipes would be recorded by some local doctors and passed down.

Most of the earth recipes handed down from ancient times are very useful.

"The man was rescued for the time being, but he was sold to Deyi's wife." Chen Sanpo whispered.
