The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye's father planned to use money to make up for the fabrics he had exchanged for dried mushrooms. Ye's father had bought the fabrics himself.

These fine linen fabrics are actually quite thickly woven, but they are stained in some places.

Fortunately, there are not many stained areas, and they are not very obvious. Father Ye plans to cut the fabrics and sell the good ones and the stained ones separately.

The white silk was left to Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing to make embroidery. Now Ye Qingqing's embroidery is getting better and better. Ye Mu said that after a few more months of practice, she can make embroidery with silk fabrics.

When Father Ye came to the warehouse, he brought the donkey cart with him. The two of them loaded the cloth onto the donkey cart and then returned to the stall.

From a distance, Father Ye could see Ye Donglin greeting the customers at the stall with ease.

The stall selling dry goods was deserted, but Ye Donglin's grocery stall was very lively. There were several middle-aged businessmen surrounding the stall, all choosing gadgets to take home.

Several merchants were chatting and laughing, exchanging opinions while selecting things.

A young and handsome man picked out a box of the most expensive rouge on the stall and said, "This rouge is not bad, it's quite delicate. My wife likes rouge. I'll definitely be happy if I buy it."

A merchant who was familiar with the handsome man picked up a box and said, "Do women like this? How about I buy a box and go back to coax the tigress at home?"

The handsome man smiled and said: "Boss Tong, you are such a weak man."

The merchant is from Shu, and I heard that women are the bosses there.

"Gungun, I am respecting my wife."

The merchant was not angry and happily picked out two more ceramic hairpins and a set of ceramic dolls with 12 zodiac animals.

Two other older middle-aged men were choosing gifts for the children at home.

A middle-aged man in blue clothes picked out a pair of colorful silk headbands.

"This colorful headband is so beautiful. My little boy will definitely like it."

Another man in purple clothes said: "Boss Han, you have good taste, please help me choose. My little naughty boy is seven years old and has a very sharp eye. He always dislikes the things I buy."

"My little darling is also seven years old, so just follow me and buy it."

"That's a good idea."

"Little boss, my eldest brother is about the same age as you. What do you think young boys your age like?"

Father Ye did not disturb Ye Donglin, but silently brought Boss Lin to the stall and packed the dried mushrooms for him.

"Boss Ye, the tiger father has no dogs, but this little boss is still decent."

"This kid is quite talented, just like me, hahaha!"

Seeing Father Ye's triumphant look, Boss Lin suddenly felt his hands were itchy.

"Boss Lin, I will be setting up a stall on the pier these days. If you have cheap defective fabrics, you can come to me at any time, whether it is with money or in exchange for goods."

"Okay, we are all old acquaintances, so everyone feels at ease when we cooperate."

第一天叶父就卖了50斤的菜籽油、180斤的干蘑菇、400斤的笋干和40斤的干竹荪。而叶东林这边杂货摊的利润也有120文。

Ye Donglin felt dizzy on the way back. His profit in one day was 120 taels of silver. Wouldn't he be able to earn 3 taels and 6 taels of silver in that month?

Father Ye: "The grocery stall sold 120 yuan today. Do you know how much it cost in total to bring these things today?"

"Five or six taels of silver?" Ye Donglin and Ye's father went to West Street to pick up the goods together, and they probably knew the price of the goods.

"It cost me 5 taels of silver just to purchase goods on West Street. Including the things recovered from the village below, it cost me a total of more than 8 taels of silver. You can see that you make a lot of money, but the capital invested is also a lot. .”

Father Ye patted Ye Donglin's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have the capital to purchase goods, so why don't you work for me? I'll pay for the purchase, and you can help set up stalls and sell goods as a peddler. The money you earn I am 7 and you are 3.”

Ye Donglin was a little excited, but wasn't 3% of the profit too small? You still have to pay half of the money to the public school, so you won’t get much left.

Ye Donglin was not satisfied with the split, "You must have been too picky this week."

"Then I'll be six and you'll be four, but half of the money you earn will go to the public house, and the rest is yours."

Ye Donglin calculated in his mind that he earned 120 cash from setting up a stall today. If he achieved four grades, he would earn 48 cash. Half of it would be given to the public, and all he would get would be 24 cash.

24 Wen a day is 720 Wen a month. Thinking back to the time when Ye's father worked in a grocery store and only made 600 Wen a month, Ye Donglin agreed immediately.

Ye Donglin stretched out his hand to Father Ye, "Today the grocery stall made 120 yuan, and 48 yuan is mine. Where is the money?"

Father Ye looked at the energetic Ye Donglin, as if he saw himself in his youth, and said with a smile: "Originally, today is not counted. I am in a good mood, so I will count it for you."

Father Ye counted 24 copper coins from his purse and took it out, "I will give you milk for one piece of the silver from the father-in-law and 24 copper coins for you."

When the 13-year-old boy was in high spirits, Ye Donglin patted his chest and said proudly: "Thank you, I will give you, my mother, and grandparents a big gift at the end of the year."

Father Ye smiled and said, "I have written this sentence down."

Father Ye looked at the donkey cart and said with a bad smile: "Your mother and I paid for the donkey cart. Every time we take you here, it costs 5 cents for the round trip."

Ye Donglin angrily counted 5 copper coins and slapped them on Father Ye's hand.

"Zhou Paipi."

"I bought the donkey cart with money. Why don't you charge some tolls? You can't come to the county without the donkey cart." Father Ye said nonchalantly as he drove the donkey cart.

Ye Donglin thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was the same. It would really be impossible without a donkey cart.

Ye Donglin set a small goal in his mind to save money to buy a donkey cart in two years.

For the next month, Ye Donglin followed his father to set up a stall on the pier every day.

However, the rest of the business was not as smooth as the first day. The business at the stall was up and down. On good days, I could earn more than 200 yuan, but on bad days, I could only earn a few dozen yuan.

Ye Donglin likes to set up stalls at the pier very much. No matter whether the business the day before is good or not, he happily follows Ye's father to the pier every day and never complains about the hard work.

He gets up earlier than Ye's father every day. Every time Ye's father wants to take a nap, his son pulls him out of bed, as if he has endless energy every day.
