The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Donglin was still setting up a stall on the pier. After selling the braised pork, Father Ye and Mr. Ye slowly drove the donkey cart home.

The braised pork that Mr. Ye brought to the market sold well. It was sold out early. Knowing that there was still some braised pork left by Father Ye, he said distressedly: "If I had known, I would have brought more braised pork to the market. There are so many people there." There are many, and they sell easily.”

Father Ye smiled and said: "It's okay, there are only a few left. Overall, our business is pretty good."

Although the price of the beef offal sold by Ye's father is a bit high, the beef is hard to buy, and it is the only one on the dock. The merchants on the dock are not short of money, and many people are willing to spend money to buy one.

Father Ye saw that everyone was very receptive to new foods and liked fresh foods. On the way back, he and Mr. Ye began to think about adding new foods to the braised pork stall.

Mr. Ye: "How about replacing the bone soup with mung bean soup?"

Every day when Butcher Zhang delivers meat to the Ye family, he will bring a pound of pork ribs and some big bones. The ribs are made into braised pork ribs by Ye’s father, and the big bones are boiled into bone soup by Ye’s father. You can buy braised pork rice at the stall. Everyone can drink bone broth for free.

I have been drinking this bone soup for more than ten days, and everyone is tired of it.

Father Ye thinks that mung bean soup is very good. "Tomorrow, I will replace the bone soup with mung bean soup. Mung beans clear away heat and relieve the heat. It is suitable to drink it at this time."

Father Ye added: "There are a lot of sour beans at home. I think the braised pork rice can be paired with some sour beans. It is sour and appetizing. Just eating braised pork is too greasy."

Speaking of pickled beans, Mr. Ye thought of the stir-fried pickled beans made by Ye’s mother two days ago, which is both appetizing and delicious.

"I think the sour beans stir-fried in water that I made at home a few days ago are very good. It is appetizing and goes well with rice. I can make some of this."

Father Ye's face lit up with joy, and he clapped his hands and said, "Stir-fried pickled beans with braised vegetables, stir-fried pickled beans with stewed vegetables, so there are two new dishes."

Father Ye then thought that the sour beans at home might not be enough. "The usage at the wharf is large. The sour beans at home can only be used for three or four days at most. Let's see how the fried braised pork with sour beans sells tomorrow. If it sells well, we will collect some sour beans in the village." Beans."

The old man is not worried about the sour beans. Every household in the village makes these. The beans grow quickly and are cheap, so the sour beans are also cheap.

Mr. Ye looked at Father Ye, "What's the price?"

Father Ye thought for a moment and decided that the price would be the same as the current price. "Stir-fried pickled beans with braised vegetables and rice, it costs 8 cents a piece. Stir-fried pickled beans with braised vegetables and brown rice, it costs 12 cents a piece."

Mr. Ye thought it was good, "This is good. In addition, you can also add some sour beans at the stall. Customers can take as much as they want."

"There are many people in the market. Not to mention the braised pork, the braised pork rice is probably very popular. It would be good to set up a stall in the market."

"Dad, why don't you go set up a stall at the market? You can ask a diligent and honest clan brother to help take care of the fields at home."

Father Ye felt that it was too hard for Mr. Ye to take care of the family's fields every day. Going to the county to set up a stall would at least be more leisurely.

Mr. Ye shook his head, "That's not possible. The family's fields are permanent assets. If the business fails, there is a way out. The family's fields cannot be abandoned."

This field is the lifeblood of the farmer. It is impossible for Mr. Ye to let go of the land he has cultivated all his life.

Although Mr. Ye can't give up business in the market, he values ​​his family's land even more.

Father Ye: "How about hiring a helper."

The more Father Ye thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, "I asked the steward at the dock to give me a gift, and moved Donglin's grocery stall and my braised pork stall, and put the two stalls together."

"Dong Lin is now well trained. Let's hire a helper to help make mung bean soup and rice in the morning, and help with cooking at meal time. Dong Lin should have no problem taking care of the two stalls."

He said with a smile: "I can just be free to set up a stall at the market."

"That's okay. You first think of a way to move the two stalls together, but this won't be negotiated in a short time."

The stalls on the pier are very popular. If Father Ye hadn't had a good relationship with the catchers and stewards on the pier, he wouldn't have been able to get two fixed stalls at once.

In fact, instead of working at the stall every day, Ye's father prefers to be a peddler and collect mountain goods to sell on the dock. He can make money by chatting and gossiping every day. What a good thing.

It's a pity that there are not enough manpower in the family now. When Ye Xilin is older, he can be freed.

Ye's father had already planned it. He provided the source of goods and asked Ye Xilin to set up a stall to sell goods. The money earned was divided between the two of them, so that his two sons could help him make money. He was happy just thinking about it.

After the two returned home, Father Ye saw that it was still early, so he packed some groceries and put them on the donkey cart, preparing to go to a mountain village.

Father Ye is thinking about the leather in Shanli Village, but now he sets up a stall at the dock every day and has no time to collect the leather. Father Ye wants to ask Orion Li to help collect the leather in Shanli Village.

Ye's father didn't let Li Orion suffer any loss. He gave Li Orion 200 yuan as hard work and took away all the money from Li Orion's family.

There were many hares in the mountains. Knowing that Ye's father was collecting skins, Orion Li collected a lot of fresh rabbit skins in the village and tanned a lot of rabbit fur skins.

After Li Orion tried many times, the leather was getting better and better. Although it was still a little stiff, it was not much better than before.

These leathers are not good enough to make leather coats, but they are just right for leather boots.

Li Orion smiled broadly as he took the hard work money given by Ye's father and the 3 taels of silver he got from selling his skins.

Patting Father Ye's shoulder, he said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with it, and I won't let you suffer."

Father Ye: "Thank you so much, Brother Li. Try to collect as many better skins as wolf skins and deer skins. You can also collect as many white rabbit skins as you can. The rest of the money will be gray rabbit skins."

As he spoke, Father Ye handed Li Orion a heavy purse with 25 taels of silver in it.

Li Orion took the money and put it in his arms, "There are still a lot of rabbits and chickens at home. I wonder if Brother Ye still wants to take them?"

The summer is hot, and Hunter Li rarely goes to the mountains to hunt recently. He can't keep big prey like wild boars, so he only hunts some pheasants and rabbits. The rabbit skins are made into leather, and the chicken and rabbit meat are made into bacon.

Not only Li Huhu, but also with Ye’s father collecting wild products and bacon in the village, few people in the village ventured into the mountains to hunt.

The village chief also organized the people in the village to plant a lot of bamboo and honeysuckle on the mountain. Knowing that Ye's father had planted many jujube trees on the mountain, he also planted some jujube trees on the mountain.

The people in Dashan Village didn't want to compete with Ye's father for business. They were waiting for Ye's father to come and collect these things.

In fact, both the village chief and Li Huhu also knew that Ye's father sold mountain products and bacon at the county wharf, but they had no connections in the county, and it was time-consuming to haul things out to sell by themselves.

Ye’s father paid fair prices for the things he collected, and he always gave them in cash. The villagers also wanted to keep cooperating with Ye’s father. The people in the village live a much better life relying on Father Ye, and they are not greedy.

Father Ye collected a lot of wild products, chickens and rabbits from the village. The people in the village got the money and happily bought large and small bags of things from Father Ye.
