The happy little days of the Ye family

Today is the day when the marinated pork stall opens, and Father Ye got up early.

At this time, the sky was still gray and no one else in the Ye family had gotten up yet. Father Ye came to the kitchen quietly.

Father Ye opened the pot of braised pork. The braised pork inside had been simmered all night last night. It was already soft and fell off the bones. It was still trembling when you picked it up. It was very tempting.

Father Ye took some straw and twigs and put them into the stove, and boiled the braised pork again until it was thoroughly cooked.

The braised pork was stirred in the pot for a while, and then Father Ye took out all the braised pork and put it into a clean basin.

After the braised pork is fished out, the remaining marinade will be used to braise vegetables. Ye’s father puts the dried bamboo shoots, dried tofu and lettuce cubes into the brine.

After placing the vegetables, Father Ye cut half of the head meat into small pieces with a knife, and cut half of the pig into small pieces.

The cut pig offal and pig head meat are used to make braised pork rice at noon, and the remaining uncut meat is planned to be sold directly by Ye’s father in the morning. Cut and sell now, cut as much as you want.

As soon as Father Ye finished cutting the braised pork, Mrs. Ye also got up.

There are only two stoves in the Ye family's kitchen. Fortunately, an extra stove was built in the yard for cooking pig food. Otherwise, there would be no pot to cook breakfast.

Mrs. Ye first went to the stove in the yard to cook pig food, and then came to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

Father Ye led the donkey cart to the yard, and then began to pack the things to be taken to the dock. A long table, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, rice, pots and stoves, as well as deep plates for braised meat, etc.

After breakfast, the vegetarian dishes had been braised. Father Ye and Ye Donglin drove a donkey cart and set off to the county with high spirits.

There are two rows of stalls on the pier. One row is a flexible stall that can be rented on a daily basis. The other row is a fixed stall, which can be rented starting from half a year.

Flexible stalls are smaller than fixed stalls, but the price is also more affordable. The stall fee is only 5 cents per day. However, flexible stalls are not fixed and it is difficult to accumulate old users. They are suitable for merchants who occasionally come to set up stalls.

The threshold for renting a stall is relatively high, and the minimum rent is half a year. The price is also slightly higher, with a monthly stall fee of 300 Wen.

However, fixed stalls are much larger than flexible stalls, and there is no need to get up early every day to occupy a fixed stall. Most local merchants like to rent fixed stalls.

Father Ye has already asked Ye Donglin to rent a fixed stall on the dock in advance.

At this time, there were not many empty stalls on the pier, and the stall Ye Donglin rented was at the back.

Fortunately, the braised pork has a stronger taste. As soon as Father Ye put the braised pork out, many delicious customers came over looking for the flavor.

Smelling the familiar smell of braised pork, people on the dock knew that Father Ye was here to sell braised pork again. Several merchants with round figures and well-dressed people suddenly came to the stall.

Looking at the owners of the stall who were not short of money, the smile on Father Ye's face became even brighter.

"For the bosses, pig tails cost 25 cents each, braised pork ribs cost 16 cents and a half catty, pig head meat costs 10 cents and a half catty, pig offal costs 8 cents and a half catty, pig trotters cost 7 cents and a half, and vegetarian dishes cost 5 cents and a half."

"Boss Ye, here's half a pound of pork head."

"There are also braised pork ribs today. Give me half a pound of braised pork ribs to try."

"Boss Ye, I also want half a catty of braised pork ribs and half a catty of rice wine. How can this braised pork not be paired with wine?"

The stall sold several portions of braised pork ribs and pork head meat at once. It seems that rich people still have a dislike for pigs.

Father Ye said with a smile: "We sell braised pork rice at noon. The three-part combination costs 18 cents each, the pig's head with vegetarian dishes costs 15 cents, the pork offal with vegetarian dishes costs 12 cents, and the pure vegetarian dish costs 8 cents. ."

For everyone who came to the stall to buy braised pork, Father Ye reminded them that braised pork rice was sold at noon, and many people were quite interested in braised pork rice.

The merchants took the braised pork back to the stall and ate the braised pork happily while looking at the stall.

After Ye's father sold these portions of braised pork, he quickly turned up the fire on the stove. The braised pork rice at noon came with soup, and Ye's father planned to make a pot of egg drop soup.

The stove for making soup had just been turned on, and some merchants who had not had breakfast came to the stall. Several merchants bought pancakes from the pancake stall next to them and asked Father Ye to put the braised pork on the pancakes.

Ye's father quickly put the braised pork on the pancake. In fact, one pancake couldn't hold much braised pork, but Ye's father still charged for a portion of braised pork.

The person who got the pancake with braised pork started to eat it with big mouthfuls, which made the people around him greedy and started to imitate it.

The uncle selling pancakes nearby sold a lot of pancakes at once, and he was beaming with joy. He wished that the Ye family's braised pork could sell better.

When the egg drop soup was almost cooked, a few regular customers came to the stall, all of them stewards on the dock and patrolling police officers.

Father Ye quickly cut a piece of ribs into small pieces and handed it over, "Brothers, there are braised ribs today, do you want to try them?"

Several people who had a good relationship with Father Ye were not polite and just started eating the ribs with their hands.

One of the agents spit out the bones and said with satisfaction, "Although these ribs have less meat, they taste pretty good."

"How do you sell these braised pork ribs?" asked another young man.

Father Ye saw that both of them wanted braised pork ribs, but now there was only the last portion of braised pork ribs left in the stall. He said carefully: "Two eldest brothers, braised pork ribs cost 16 yuan each. Today we only braised two kilograms of pork ribs." , only the last portion left."

Fortunately, they both knew each other. The young man took the initiative to ask for half a catty of pork head, and the last portion of braised pork ribs was caught and was about to leave.
