Pei Qin agreed and had Old Chang from the Silly Melon Seeds Shop hurry the workers to make a batch of Drunkard's Peanuts to compensate them.
Once the business was taken care of, Pei Qian began to lead people with the contract to seek compensation from the vegetable farmers—they had signed a contract, to deliver the goods on time, and upon delivery, payment was to be made. The contract was beneficial for both parties, but also binding. The farmers could not sell their cabbages to anyone else, and Pei Qian could not refuse to accept their cabbages. Therefore, this year's breach of contract called for compensation.
