The happy little days of the Ye family

The braised pork sold in bulk has long been sold out, and Father Ye started preparing the braised pork rice for lunch early.

Set the cooked bone broth aside to cool, and the rice in the pot is almost ready.

Seeing that Ye's father was preparing braised pork rice, Ye Donglin quickly put away the things on his stall and went to help.

There are a total of 7 different kinds of rice at the Yejia stall, including braised pork ribs with rice, three-piece pork head with braised vegetables, pork head with braised vegetables, stir-fried pickled cucumbers with stir-fried pickled cucumbers, vegetarian stir-fried pickled cucumbers, and braised vegetables.

The father and son brought several bowls of each meal and put up signs with corresponding prices. The prices and dishes were clear at a glance, which was neat and convenient.

The cheapest braised vegetable dish costs 18 cents a bowl, and the most expensive pork ribs rice and three-pin dish cost [-] cents a bowl. It’s up to people to be thrifty. Whichever bowl of rice you like, you can take it away directly if you give money.

Ye's bone soup is given away for free. If you buy a meal, you can drink the bone soup for free, and you can drink it as you like.

Pickles are also provided for free as usual, and many people come to buy rice because of the free bone soup and pickles.

People who ate braised pork rice at Ye's house praised Ye's father for his kindness and good manners. The bone soup was thick and the pickled beans were also very delicious with rice.

However, the other stall owners selling food on the pier simply hated Ye's father. Why did he not sell braised pork rice properly? Why did he provide side dishes and soup for free, forcing them to also provide side dishes?

Father Ye has received countless looks in the eyes these days, and there are even those with a bad temper who scold Father Ye in front of him, or say some sour words in an angry manner.

But fortunately, there are detectives patrolling the dock every day. Father Ye has a good relationship with the patrolling detectives, so no one dares to cause trouble.

Those who were jealous of Ye's father's good business could only curse a few words or wave their eyes, but they did not have any bad influence on Ye's father.

The uncle selling pancakes felt so sad when he saw that Ye's father's braised pork stall was doing well. The braised pork and braised pork rice had been sold out early, while his own business was deserted. Half of the noodles he made in the morning were still unsold. It has become sour beans.

The pier is crowded in the morning and less crowded in the afternoon. The remaining noodles may not be sold.

The uncle's pancakes are generous in portion, but the taste is mediocre, and the business has been tepid. Ever since Father Ye started selling braised pork rice on the dock, the business at the stall has become even worse.

The weather was hot, and the leftover noodles could not be used the next day. They had to take them home and eat them at home. This day's work was considered to be in vain.

The uncle had a cold face, glaring at the Ye family and his son who were happily packing their things, and had an idea in his mind.

Since the pancakes are not easy to sell, then he will change them into something that is easy to sell. Isn't it just braised pork? Who doesn't know how to make it?

Meat is inherently delicious. As long as you are willing to spend money and add more aniseed and sugar, you are still worried about the bad taste.

There were few people at the pier in the afternoon, so the uncle simply closed the stall and went back to think about it.

The uncle packed the remaining pancakes, just enough to give as gifts. He planned to go to the woman in the village who cooked delicious food to find out how to cook the braised pork to make it delicious.

The main thing about braised pork is to be willing to add ingredients and sugar. Women who are good at cooking can do it, but the taste is different.

Father Ye is thick-skinned, and he will ignore it no matter how many looks he gets. Anyway, he has made money, and he will not lose a hair if he gets a few more looks.

He also happily told Ye Donglin: If he is not envied by others, he is a mediocre person. For a person as smart as him, it is normal for him to be envied by others.

The Ye family knew nothing about the fact that the uncle who made pancakes was preparing braised pork to compete with the Ye family for business. The whole family was counting their money happily.

The braised pork and braised pork rice at the stall are all priced under 18 cents. Most of what customers give is copper coins. Today, I received a large package of copper coins in one day, which felt heavy in my hand.

Father Ye poured a large bag of copper coins on the table, and the family began to count the coins with smiles on their faces.

Ever since Ye's father went to sell braised pork rice on the pier, the happiest time for the Ye family was when they counted their money every day, and everyone counted the money until they felt weak.

Father Ye: "I have 258 articles here."

Old Mrs. Ye: "I have 261 Wen here."

Ye Mu: "I have 221 articles here."

Ye Qingqing: "I have 251 articles here."

Father Ye fiddled with the small abacus, "Today's braised pork stall sold a total of 991 Wen."

Mrs. Ye asked anxiously: "What about the capital? How much capital was used?"

Father Ye began to calculate, "I kept half of the pig head to eat at home. The cost of the meat is 113 Wen. The vegetarian dishes are 7 jins of dried tofu, 10 jins of white radish and 10 jins of beans. The total cost here is 68 Wen."

"The rice is 120 Wen, the salt and aniseed are 55 Wen, and the stall fee is 10 Wen. In addition, we sold 5 kilograms of rice wine today. The cost of the wine is 100 Wen, so the total is 466 Wen."

Father Ye's abacus was good and he quickly calculated the money earned today.

"I made a total of 525 Wen today."

Mrs. Ye was overjoyed and said with a smile, "This is more money than when we first opened."

Father Ye was also in a very good mood, "The two ducks alone earned 72 cents, and the braised eggs only earned one penny. Here we have already earned 21 cents. The cost of the braised dishes has also been reduced. In this way, we can earn a lot of money." too much."

Old Mrs. Ye: "The profit from this braised duck is too high. I'll kill two more ducks and braise them tonight."

After saying that, Mrs. Ye asked in a low voice: "Can the four ducks be sold?"

"It must be possible. Today's two ducks have been sold out early. If we sell them in bulk, we should be able to sell three ducks and the remaining one can be used to make braised duck rice."

Ye Qingqing: "Bring one more and keep one for ourselves."

Mrs. Ye agreed, but the braised pork was shrunk: "Still braise 4 ducks, keep half of them for home use, and sell the rest."

Ye Qingqing flattered Mrs. Ye, "You are so kind, grandma. You are the best grandma in the world."

Mrs. Ye pinched Ye Qingqing's chubby little face and said with a smile: "This little mouth is so sweet."

Ye Mu: "Although the braised eggs only cost 2 cents each, they are cheap and delicious. Both wealthy merchants and ordinary laborers can afford them. I estimate that I can continue to make these braised eggs for a long time."

Father Ye also agreed, "The braised eggs were the first to be sold out. Many people came to the stall later and asked about the braised eggs. The quantity of braised eggs should also be increased."

Old Mrs. Ye: "There are 20 chickens at home. Except for the crowing rooster, the remaining 19 can lay eggs. I can pick up about 11 or 12 eggs a day. There are not enough eggs at home. I will go to the village to collect a batch of eggs later. .”

Father Ye nodded and said: "Today I replaced the braised pork and fried pickled beans with braised pork and fried pickled cucumbers. The response was pretty good. I will go to Brother Zhang's house later to collect some pickled cucumbers.\"

Ye Mu can also make pickled cucumbers, "I have a lot of cucumbers at home, and I will also make some pickled cucumbers tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Ye: "The braised pork stall uses a lot of food. The few cucumbers at home are not enough. We still need to collect a batch of pickled cucumbers."

Father Ye also agreed, "But you don't need to charge too much. In a few days, the group of foodies will get tired of it again, and then they will switch to pickled beans or other side dishes."

After speaking, several people dispersed and went about their own work.
