The happy little days of the Ye family

Some time ago, Father Ye set up a stall at the dock every day. He had already inquired about the price of leather goods and the best time to ship them.

Like Father Ye's leather coats, except for the first leather coat and boots which are a bit inferior, the next 5 leather coats are pretty good, especially the wolf fur coat which is a rare item.

The wolf fur coat costs 25 taels, the pure white rabbit fur coat costs 10 taels, the wolf skin and rabbit fur coat costs 5 taels, and the pure white rabbit fur and gray rabbit fur coat costs 4 taels.

This is a price that Father Ye thinks is more reasonable.

The best time to sell leather clothes is in autumn. Winter starts early in the north, and you start buying winter clothes in late autumn.

The Qingming Festival has just passed and winter is still early, so the price of leather jackets is definitely not high.

However, this batch of leather goods cost too much money. Father Ye was afraid that it would hit his hands and wanted to take action now.

Although winter is still far away at this time, the price of leather coats is cheaper when buying them out of season, and many northern businessmen are willing to buy leather coats at this time.

Father Ye wandered around the dock for several days and finally found a buyer.

The buyer is a young man named Yang from the north. Mr. Yang's family specializes in the fur goods business. It is said that there are several shops selling fur goods in the north.

Ye's father has few fur goods, only 6 fur coats and 8 pairs of leather boots in total. Most of the merchants who deal in fur goods look down upon these items.

Originally, Young Master Yang also thought that there were too few things, but Father Ye had a wolf fur coat in his hand. Young Master Yang saw the wolf fur coat at a glance, so he cooperated.

Although Mr. Yang is young, he has been exposed to business since he was a child, and he has learned a lot about business.

"Boss Ye, the leather of these fur coats of yours is average, and the workmanship is too poor. When I take it back, I have to ask someone to help modify it. The price must be cut off."

"The wolf fur coat is 20 taels, the pure white rabbit fur coat is 7 taels, the wolf fur and rabbit fur coat is 4 taels, and the pure white rabbit fur and gray rabbit fur coat is 3 taels. The most I can give you is this. The price is up.”

In fact, these leather jackets are not bad, only average, but Young Master Yang can tell at a glance that Father Ye is a novice and deliberately keeps the price low.

Although Father Ye is a novice, he has already inquired about the market price of leather jackets in advance. The price must be low, and it is far lower than what he expected.

Father Ye said with a cold face: "If Mr. Yang doesn't like it, then forget it. With so many merchants on the dock, there will always be someone who can afford it."

Mr. Yang was also shocked by Father Ye's unreasonable behavior. Why did he just say he would not cooperate without counter-offering? He also mocked him for not being able to pay the price.

Mr. Yang couldn't hold back his face. He originally wanted to leave directly, but he took one look at the wolfskin coat in Father Ye's hand and was reluctant to part with it.

The winter in the north is cold, and it’s very hard to go out without a leather jacket. Moreover, people in the north highly value leather clothing, and any wealthy family without one or two pieces of good leather goods would lose face.

Most of their fur shops sell rabbit fur coats, and most of them are gray rabbit fur coats. The pure white rabbit fur coats have long been snapped up by those beauty-loving ladies.

The shop managed by Mr. Yang is now in need of a good leather product. The shop is a small shop in the county, and it is quite suitable to use Father Ye's wolf fur coat to make the store's fur goods.

Father Ye saw Young Master Yang's eyes looking at the wolf fur coat from time to time. Knowing that Young Master Yang was interested in the wolf fur coat, Father Ye immediately stopped worrying.

After the two had a friendly exchange for more than half an hour, Mr. Yang finally bought all of Ye's father's leather clothes with 48 taels.

A pair of boots cost 200 yuan, and Mr. Yang also paid for it.

Father Ye fiddled with the abacus and said cheerfully: "Mr. Yang, the total is 49 taels and 6 cents."

Mr. Yang gave Father Ye five silver ingots worth ten taels of silver. The largest silver ingot that Father Ye had ever seen was five taels of silver. This was the first time Father Ye had seen a silver ingot of ten taels in his hand. It was quite heavy.

Ye's father roughly calculated that the leather, needle, thread and cloth cost about 25 taels and 5 taels, which means that Ye's father made a total of 24 taels and 1 taels for this batch of goods.

After deducting half of the money given to the public, Ye's father had 12 taels of silver for himself, which was enough for Ye's father's three-month income from setting up a stall and working as a salesman.

Father Ye happily took the silver to the largest silver building in the county, planning to take out six taels of silver to buy a silver bracelet for Mrs. Ye, Mother Ye, Ye Qingqing and Grandma Ye.

Father Ye is here today to discuss the sale of fur goods. He is wearing fine cotton clothes specially made by Mother Ye, and he looks like a big boss.

As soon as Father Ye entered the door, a fair young man came forward to greet him warmly.

"Sir, what do you want to see? Our silver shop has all kinds of jewelry."

"Look for silver bracelets, simple and elegant ones."

There were all kinds of exquisite necklaces, bracelets, earrings and hairpins in the shop. Father Ye was so dazzled that he asked the waiter to take him to the cabinet where silver bracelets were sold.

There are several types of silver bracelets here, including silver-plated bracelets, sterling silver bracelets, and bracelets inlaid with various jewelry. The thickness of the bracelets also comes in several grades.

The first thing Father Ye looked at was the bracelets inlaid with various jewels. Good guy, the cheapest ones cost four or five taels of silver.

Father Ye only glanced at it and quickly turned his attention to the sterling silver bracelet. Depending on the thickness and workmanship, the bracelets range from one tael of silver to three taels of silver.

Father Ye has six taels of silver on hand, and now he wants to buy four bracelets, each of which cannot exceed one and a half taels of silver.

Father Ye picked for most of an hour and finally selected four generous and simple thin bracelets.

The waiter on the side opened his mouth with joy when he saw Father Ye picking four bracelets, and quickly took Father Ye to the counter to pay.

Originally, the waiter thought that Ye's father had no money when he saw that Father Ye had been shopping around for a long time looking for thin bracelets. However, he didn't expect that he got four silver bracelets.

叶老太太和叶姥姥的贵一些，要1两6钱一只，叶母和叶青青的1两3钱一只，一共花了叶父5两8钱银子。

After buying the silver bracelet, Ye's father hurried home. He still had dozens of taels of silver with him. Ye's father was still a little scared.

The old lady was smiling from ear to ear as she held her son's filial silver bracelet. As soon as she put it on, she went out to show off to other old ladies.

Standing in the yard, you can hear Mrs. Ye's cheerful laughter.

Ye Qingqing is young and has small bones, so the bracelet is a bit too big for her now. However, Ye Qingqing was still happy when she received the bracelet from Ye's father. She happily hugged Ye's father and acted like a baby.

Ye Qingqing was still young, and Ye's mother was afraid that she would lose her bracelet, so she specifically told Ye Qingqing that she could not take the bracelet out, but could only keep it at home.

After telling Ye Qingqing not to take the bracelet out, Mother Ye put on the bracelet, took the silver bracelet for Grandma Ye, and returned to her parents' home happily.
