The happy little days of the Ye family

As soon as Mr. Ye entered the door, Mrs. Ye asked anxiously: "How is it? Has Zhulinshan bought it?"

Mr. Ye didn't even have time to get off the donkey cart, and said happily: "I bought it. The land deed is 160 acres. I bought it for 34 taels. Including the red deed and the money for management, the total cost is 36 taels."

"The same two detectives who went to measure Zhulin Mountain this time were more relaxed when measuring. They saved more than two taels of money."

Father Ye asked eagerly: "Dad, have you got the red deed?"

Only after obtaining the land deed can the land be considered as their Ye family's.

Mr. Ye carefully took out the red deed from his arms and carefully handed it to Mrs. Ye.

Mr. Ye: "The red deed has been obtained. From today on, this Zhulin Mountain belongs to our Ye family."

Ye Qingqing, who was doing embroidery with Ye's mother in the house, heard the noise and knew that Mr. Ye was back, so she trotted to the front yard.

Ye Qingqing: "It smells so good. Grandpa, did you buy some roast chicken?"

Mr. Ye jumped out of the donkey cart with the roast chicken and stuffed the still steaming roast chicken into Ye Qingqing's arms.

"My little nose is pretty sharp. Here, take it to the kitchen!"

The little girl carried the fragrant roast chicken and stumbled to the kitchen.

Mr. Ye asked his father to call his mother, and they went to Mrs. Ye's house to discuss the matter.

Mrs. Ye took out the public account book.

“没有买小后山之前，公中的账上有50两银子。去年公中的收入是62两89文。买下小后山花了35两，再去除家中的一些开销，去年公中存了2两89文。”

"That is to say, as of the end of last year, there were a total of 52 taels of silver in Gongzhong's account." In fact, everyone knows the expenses and savings of Gongzhong, and it is indeed this number.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Old Mrs. Ye continued: "After the New Year, my family will sell winter bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, leather goods and mountain goods recovered from the sale. In total, the father-in-law will also earn 26 taels of silver."

"It cost 12 taels to buy a jujube tree, 1 taels of labor to plant the jujube trees, 5 taels to go to school in Xilin and buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Including the expenses at home, a total of 3 taels was spent this year. Two pieces of silver."

"Excluding the 36 taels spent on Zhulinshan today, there are still 21 taels of silver left in Gongzhong's account."

Mrs. Ye let out a long sigh, the money was really wasted.

Mr. Ye: "Although there is not much money in the public account, there will be no big expenses in the future."

Then Mrs. Ye opened Xiaohoushan's account book again.

"Since this year, the mushrooms and spring bamboo shoots in Xiaohoushan have been dried into dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Now there are 40 kilograms of dried bamboo fungus, more than 300 kilograms of dried mushrooms and 1200 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots stored in the cellar."

"These mountain goods can also be sold for 26 or 27 taels of silver. I bought Xiaohoushan for 35 taels. The money was well spent."

Mr. Ye: "Xiaohoushan is indeed a good purchase, and the newly purchased Zhulinshan is also very good. There are more bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots in it."

Father Ye suddenly remembered that there were more than 2000 kilograms of rapeseed in the cellar. "There are also rapeseeds recovered from Xiaohoushan. When these 15 acres of rapeseed are pressed into rapeseed oil, they can be sold for 17 taels of silver." about."

Mr. Ye said: "There is not much money in the public accounts. The planning of Zhulin Mountain will be slowed down for now. Tomorrow I will find someone to go to Zhulin Mountain to dig bamboo shoots and pick bamboo fungus."

"There are a lot of bamboo fungus and spring bamboo shoots in Zhulin Mountain. Let's make the spring bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots and sell them, and then use the money to plan Zhulin Mountain."

When picking bamboo shoots yesterday, Mr. Ye saw that the spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest were growing very well. If they were not dug, they would grow old.

Mr. Ye looked at Father Ye and said: "The bamboo forest in Xiaohoushan will be taken care of and harvested by the first and second forests. Donglin and I will take care of the bamboo forest mountain and the fields at home. You will be responsible for harvesting the harvest at home during this period." All the dry goods and rapeseed oil accumulated were sold.”

"Although dry goods in winter are more valuable, they have been stored for too long. I'm afraid there will be some mistakes, so it's better to sell them."

Father Ye also agreed that dry goods would be damaged if stored for too long, so it would be better to sell them directly, and the money obtained could be used for other businesses.

Ye Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "There are too many dry goods and sweet potatoes at home, and the cellar can hardly contain them. Now that there is an additional bamboo forest mountain, do we need to dig an extra cellar at home?"

"Let's slow down the matter of the cellar for now. When the harvest is good and all the dry goods and rapeseed oil at home are sold, the cellar should be half empty."
