The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing drove the bullock cart in high spirits, with a smile on his face that never broke off along the way.

At this time, Ye Qingqing and the others were busy shopping at Yangjia Cloth Store.

Buy the finest white silk, buy all kinds of Hangzhou embroidery threads, buy the expensive gold threads, and buy embroidery needles of various sizes.

No matter how good your embroidery skills are, if you use ordinary needlework and silk to make embroidery, you will never be able to sell it at a high price.

On the contrary, as long as the things used are good enough and the embroidery method is simple, it doesn't matter. As long as the embroidery is beautiful, it can be sold at a high price.

Ye Mu's gold silk handkerchief is like this. It's obviously the same pattern and embroidery method, but it can be sold for several times more money.

The same goes for embroidery. The first time my second aunt sold the embroidery, it could only cost a few taels of silver. Now it is replaced with white silk, gold thread and high-quality needlework. The embroidery has gone from the original few taels of silver to 19 taels of silver.

Even if the cost of seven or eight taels of silver is deducted, one embroidered picture can earn more than ten taels of silver.

Several people bought a large amount of white silk, gold thread and fine needlework at the cloth store. Grandma Ye also bought some large pieces of cloth for making silk flowers. At the checkout, they spent a total of 30 taels of silver.

The shopkeeper beamed with joy and generously gave each person a small piece of brightly colored muslin cloth.

Grandma Ye's is tawny, Ye Mu's is crescent-shaped, Second Aunt's is sky blue, Second Cousin's is lavender, and the second green leaf is goose yellow.

The fabric is not large, but just enough to make a short top.

In the end, Ye Mu also wrapped up the rags in the cloth shop. The shopkeeper didn't ask for any money, and enthusiastically asked the waiter to help bring the things to the door.

Several people carried large and small bags of things. As soon as they walked out of the door, they met Tang Xiaojing driving an ox cart.

Tang Xiaojing quickly stopped the ox cart at the door, diligently took the things from Grandma Ye and Mother Ye, and helped put the things on the ox cart.

After putting away his things, Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing, "Do you still want to go to Chenjia Clothing Village?"

The little girl nodded and said softly: "Yes, I have agreed with my second cousin to go see the fabrics, and my mother and grandma also want to buy fabrics."

Then Ye Qingqing blushed again and said, "The long gown I made last time is not suitable for working in the fields. I will choose some thick fabric for you to make two short gowns later."

The smile on Tang Xiaojing's face became even brighter, and his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Tang Xiaojing originally planned to go back and give the earrings to Ye Qingqing, but when he got excited, he took out the earrings he just bought.

Tang Xiaojing put the small purse in Ye Qingqing's hand, "Here, I bought it for you."

Ye Qingqing looked at the small and delicate purse in his hand, a bright smile appeared on his pretty face, and he opened the purse with a little eagerness.

Ye Qingqing took out the earrings, and the light pink beads were shaking in the air.

Ye Qingqing liked it very much and immediately replaced the earrings on his ears with the earrings given by Tang Xiaojing. After putting them on, he looked at Tang Xiaojing.

"Does it look good?"

Ye Qingqing raised his head and smiled brightly, but his helpless fingers still showed some nervousness.

"It looks good. I'll buy you other styles next time."

Ye Qingqing smiled with a crooked eyebrow, "Okay."

Ye Qingqing saw that Grandma Ye and Ye Mu not far away had entered the Chen family cloth village, and quickly urged Tang Xiaojing to park the oxcart and go over to find Ye Mu and the others.

Tang Xiaojing shook his head and said: "The needlework and silk on the oxcart are valuable. I will stay in the oxcart to look at things. Qingqing, go find Auntie and the others."

The things on the oxcart are relatively expensive, so one person must be left to watch them. "Okay, I'll go to the cloth shop to pick out fabrics for you first. What color do you like?"

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile, "I like everything you pick."

"Glib tongue." Ye Qingqing ran away shyly.

As soon as Ye Qingqing came in, Ye Mu noticed the new earrings on her ears.

Mother Ye joked: "These earrings are so beautiful, and Mr. Jing's taste is not bad."

"Mother~"

Ye Qingqing held Ye Mu's arm and acted coquettishly.

Ye's mother looked at her daughter who was almost grown up and said with a smile: "The relationship between a man and a woman needs to be carefully managed. It's good to keep coming and going. Mr. Jing gave you earrings. Remember to give him something in return."

"He didn't want to wear the clothes I made for Brother Jing last time. I plan to make him two short shirts suitable for hiking up the mountain."

Mother Ye patted Ye Qingqing's hand gently and said, "It's very good. The courtesy is light but the affection is heavy. He wears clothes made by you, and he can think of you well on weekdays."

"Qingqing, come on, help me see which piece of fabric is better?"

At this time, the second cousin also picked out two pieces of fabric for clothes and called Ye Qingqing to help choose.

The second cousin held two pieces of fabric in her hands, one was crescent-colored, and the other was lavender similar to the fabric she just got.

"Qingqing, you have better eyesight than me. Please help me see which piece of fabric is better? Which piece matches the fine cotton fabric just given by the shopkeeper?"

"Both pieces of fabric look pretty good, and they match the fabric just now. However, the crescent-colored fabric gets dirty easily and tends to turn yellow over time, so the purple one is better."

"It's up to you, then I'll take the lavender one." The second cousin looked at Ye Qingqing, and then she noticed the new earrings on her ears.

The second cousin lifted Ye Qingqing's chin and asked with a smirk on her face: "These earrings are so beautiful, but weren't you wearing earrings just now? Why did you turn around and turn into earrings?"

"I hate it. When you get engaged later, see how I laugh at you."

Ye Qingqing blushed and ran to find Ye Mu, and together they selected fabrics for Tang Xiaojing.

Ye Qingqing picked two pieces of fabric for Tang Xiaojing, one was gray and the other was tawny.

Because it is worn on the mountain or in the fields, the thick linen fabrics are chosen, which are stain-resistant and durable.

It’s already autumn, and although it’s hot during the day, there’s already some coolness in the morning and evening. Grandma Ye and her second aunt chose two pieces of thick fabric to make a thin coat for the whole family.

Ye's mother also pulled some fabric and planned to make a new set of thick clothes for the whole family. She also specially made an extra thin coat for the old lady and Mr. Ye.

Shopkeeper Chen: "Mrs. Ye, you haven't been here for a while. There are a lot of rags and large pieces of cloth in the store. Do you want any more?"

There were many people on the oxcart today, and Ye’s mother planned not to buy cloth at Chenjia Cloth Store now, but would wait until Ye’s father came to purchase the goods.

Mother Ye smiled and shook her head: "There are a lot of people, so the oxcart probably won't be able to fit these fabrics. I'll go back and talk to the child's father, and we'll buy them together when he comes to buy the goods in two days."

After coming out of Chenjia Buzhuang, Tang Xiaojing took a few people to the braised pork shop near the Escort Bureau.

Tang Xiaojing jumped off the bullock cart and helped Grandma Ye and Ye Qingqing off the donkey cart.

Tang Xiaojing pointed to the inconspicuous shop in front of him and said: "I grew up eating at this braised pork shop. In the past two years, duck products have been added, and the business in the shop has become even better."

The shop in front of me is old-fashioned and very narrow inside, but there are many people queuing up. The smell of meat coming from the shop is also very enticing. This braised pork should look good.

There were many people buying braised pork, and the queue lasted for two quarters of an hour. Fortunately, there were many of them, and the time passed quickly while chatting.

Ye Mu bought one of each and planned to go back and study it carefully to see how so many people came to line up to buy braised pork every day.

Tang Xiaojing himself likes to eat duck. He usually sees that people in the Ye family also like to eat meatless parts such as wings and necks, so he specially bought several portions of duck.

Today, my second aunt made a lot of money from selling embroidery, and she spent a lot of money to buy a lot of pig heads.

I also specially bought some more duck products and asked my husband to take them with him to drink when he went to Ye's house for dinner in the evening.
