The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing brought 30 taels of silver this time to collect herbs. Most of the money was used to collect fresh herbs, and the remaining few taels were used to collect medicinal materials for making medicinal wine.

Orion Li also collected some medicinal materials that were in short supply in the pharmacy at Tang Xiaojing's suggestion.

It was already dark when Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing returned home. They placed the herbs in the baskets in Tang Xiaojing's pharmacy.

There are only two father and son in the Tang family, and there are several empty rooms in the house. Tang Xiaojing arranged the room next to the bedroom as a pharmacy, where the herbs he usually collects are processed.

The father and son had been walking in the barren mountains for a long time, and their clothes were already in ruins, and there was a strong smell of sweat. They changed into clean clothes before going to Ye's house for dinner.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing arrived at Ye's house, two increasingly rounded puppies pounced on his lap. Tang Xiaojing squatted down and rubbed the two fluffy little heads.

Tang Shan said in amusement: "You two white-eyed dogs, I feed you eggs for nothing every morning. Why don't you take care of me?"

Seeing that one person and two dogs were having fun, Tangshan shouted childishly: "You will have no more eggs tomorrow."

Tang Xiaojing laughed and said, "Dad, why are you more naive than Xilin?"

The Tangshan villain complained first and deliberately whispered into the room: "Xilin, some people say you are childish."

Tang Xiaojing casually picked up a little guy and stuffed it into Tang Shan's arms, "Childish devil."

"Think it over carefully. Have you forgotten that you still owe me 18 taels of silver?"

Tang Xiaojing immediately changed his mind, "I was wrong, I was childish."

"It's almost there."

At this time, Mrs. Ye shouted from inside the room: "You two, father and son, are lingering around. Don't you want to eat? The food is already cold, so why don't you come here to eat quickly?"

The father and son glared at each other, turned their heads in disgust, and walked quickly to the Ye family hall.

Ye's father had been to Shanli Village, and it took more than two hours to get back from there. The father and son must have been very late when they got home, and Ye's mother specially left food for the two of them.

The Tang family father and son have big appetites and love to eat meat. Mother Ye specially left a large bowl of braised rabbit for the two of them, which contained more meat and less potatoes, plus two cold vegetables. One look at the father and son and they couldn't help but start eating. Swallow.

The Tang family's father and son were devouring dinner at the dining table, while the Ye family's young and old were sitting around discussing the braised pork stall.

“The fixed stalls on the pier are so popular that they were snatched up before they could be vacated. It is estimated that we won’t be able to move the two stalls together within this year.”

Father Ye originally wanted to move his two stalls together on the pier so that it would be easier to take care of. Unexpectedly, it has been half a month and there is nothing he can do.

Mr. Ye mainly wants stability. He is already satisfied with his current life and does not want to cause trouble. "Forget it if you don't. Now it's good for you and Dong Lin to manage the same stall."

Mrs. Ye: "It seems that Braised Pork Rice is not selling very well these days. At the beginning, I could make more than 400 Wen every day, but recently I only made about 300 Wen a day.\"

Mrs. Ye counts money with Father Ye every day. She knows best how much money she makes every day. She makes more than 100 yuan less in one day. Mrs. Ye is so distressed that she can't sleep at night.

"When it was first launched, everyone was willing to try it. If you spend money to buy rice every day, some people will definitely be unhappy. Some people are still willing to bring their own dry food to eat." No matter how cheap the braised pork rice is, some people still can't afford it.

Now the Ye family's braised pork stall has stabilized, and it can probably earn about 300 yuan a day. The number of people who come to the stall to buy braised pork and braised pork rice every day is divided equally between new customers and regular customers.

Mother Ye asked: "I've been eating fried braised pork with pickled beans for half a month, are we going to add some new dishes?"

Father Ye: "We are going to serve some new dishes. Many regular customers have already said they don't want to eat braised pork anymore."

Ye Qingqing: "Don't you have a lot of eggs at home? You can braise some eggs. Fresh eggs sell for 1 cent each at the market, and braised eggs can cost [-] cents each. They are delicious and affordable."

I usually make braised pork at home, and Ye Mu occasionally likes to braise it with some eggs. The braised eggs absorb the flavor of the broth, and the taste is amazing.

Father Ye touched Ye Qingqing's little head and said proudly: "The little girl is quite smart, like me, like me."

Old Mrs. Ye on the side rolled her eyes at Father Ye, she was so shameless, why didn't everyone just follow her.

Ye Xilin: "I'm tired of drinking bone soup every day at home. The people on the dock must be tired of drinking mung bean soup, right? Why don't we change the mung bean soup back to bone soup."

When Butcher Zhang's family delivers meat, they always send a pound of ribs and a few large bones to the Ye family. The Ye family drinks bone soup every day, and Ye Xilin has long been tired of it.

Before Father Ye opened his mouth, Mrs. Ye made a decision and decided to continue making bone soup at the stall. After all, big bones cost no money, but mung beans cost money.

Ye Donglin also thought of something: "The braised vegetables can be replaced with other seasonal vegetables, which not only changes the taste but also reduces the cost."

When Mrs. Ye heard that it could reduce costs, she immediately became energetic, "This is good. There are beans, eggplants, potatoes and white radish in the small vegetable garden. These can be used to make braised dishes. They are cheap and delicious. Not bad."

Tang Shan, who was eating silently on the side, also intervened, "Aunt Ye, don't you raise a lot of ducks at home? You can try braised duck. There are old braised pork shops in the county that sell braised duck."

Tang Xiaojing also said: "Taohua Village is rich in water resources. Many families raise ducks. The price of duck meat is cheap. The braised duck in the county costs 28 yuan and a half. The profit here is not low."

Father Ye said happily: "There are a lot of ducks at home. I will kill two ducks later and braise them together in the evening."

Mrs. Ye: "The braised pork has been sold out recently. Should I order less meat?"

Father Ye: "It's just a little bit left over occasionally, so it's not a big problem. The guts, pig trotters, pig tails and ribs can all stay the same. One pig head is too much. Half a pig head every day is enough."

Mr. Ye stood up and said, "It's not too late now. I'll go to Butcher Zhang's house and ask him to change tomorrow's pig head into half a pig."

Butcher Zhang gets up early to kill pigs every day and usually goes to bed early. Mr. Ye quickly walked out of the hall and hurried to Butcher Zhang's house.

Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye also got up and went to the kitchen to count the eggs at home. They had to pack a basket and boil them first, and then braise them together later.

Duck meat was cheap, and Ye’s father felt that the braised duck was of great use, so he took Ye Donglin to the backyard to kill ducks.

Everyone was gone, leaving only Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin staring at each other. Finally, the siblings went to the kennel in the kitchen and each picked up a puppy.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly picked up by someone. The whole dog was covered, and they grunted twice in a little milky voice.

When Tang Xiaojing saw that everyone was gone, he quickly took the last few bites of rice from the bowl into his mouth and cleared the table quickly with his hands and feet.

Tang Xiaojing put the dishes in the tub and took them to the backyard to wash them.

Ye Qingqing, who was playing with the puppy, saw Tang Xiaojing carrying a wooden basin to wash the dishes, so he followed him to help.

Tang Xiaojing put the wooden basin on the edge of the sink and said happily: "No need for help, just these few dishes, I can wash them in a few times."

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing really didn't need her help, Ye Qingqing continued to tease the little puppy with Ye Xilin.

She, Ye Donglin, and Ye Xilin took turns washing the dishes in the Ye family, and everyone in the Ye family washed their own clothes. Ye Qingqing knew that men also had to do housework.
