The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Donglin got up late today. Before he could have breakfast, he hurriedly grabbed two pancakes and went out.

On the way, Ye Donglin made pancakes with braised eggs for breakfast on the donkey cart.

As soon as Ye Donglin arranged the things on the stall, several regular customers came.

There were several middle-aged merchants surrounding the stall. They were all merchants from the same place, and they always delivered goods together.

After the goods were sold, we took some specialties from other places to sell back. The two of us have been transporting goods together for several years, and we have a very good relationship.

Several people were talking and laughing, exchanging opinions while selecting things.

A handsome middle-aged man chose a colorful silk headband made by Ye Qingqing for his daughter.

Then I picked a ceramic pen holder and pen holder, which are for the eldest son and the second son.

Seeing that the man had picked out a lot of things, Ye Donglin recommended some rouge and gouache that women liked to use.

"Boss, the stall also has rouge, face cream and hand cream newly released in Hangzhou. Would you like to take a box back? Most women like these rouge and gouache."

A chubby merchant on the side also came over, took a box of rouge and asked, "Do women like these?"

The handsome middle-aged man smiled and said: "Boss Lin, didn't you just quarrel with your sister-in-law before going out? Buy a box and go back to make fun of her."

The chubby man pretended not to care and said: "A manly man, I won't care about her, just buy a box and go back to coax her."

Another younger man in purple joked: "Boss Lin, your husband is weak."

"Gungungun, what's the matter with you? Little boss, give me a box of this rouge, face oil and hand cream."

The man in purple wasn't angry either, he happily followed suit and asked for a box of rouge and face cream, and then picked out some beautiful hairbands and headbands.

When the handsome middle-aged man saw that his other two companions had bought rouge and face cream, he quickly asked Ye Donglin to get him a box each.

The wives of several people knew each other, and the others brought rouge and gouache back with them, but he didn't buy any. He would not have a good life back home.

Rouge gouache has the highest profit, and 8 boxes were sold at once, which was almost equal to a normal day's income. Ye Donglin was so happy that his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

However, the stall at the back was deserted. It wasn't until Ye Donglin went over to help sell braised pork rice that he sold two more small ceramic dolls.

Because he was going to the county to buy things, Ye Donglin closed the stall early today. On the way, Ye Donglin started thinking about buying something for his family.

Mr. Ye and Father Ye usually like to have a drink or two, so just buy some good wine, and it is best to buy some food to go with the food.

But I already had the spicy duck food yesterday, and I also make spicy duck food and braised pork at home, so I don’t think I need to buy food or wine.

Women probably like beautiful clothes and jewelry, right? Tang Xiaojing has already bought the fabric, so only the jewelry is left.

Tang Xiaojing muttered: "I only brought one tael of silver, and I can't buy good jewelry."

Ye Donglin looked at the trees on the roadside and thought about it, and finally had an idea to buy some wooden hairpins.

Wooden hairpins are beautiful and affordable. Most people in the village wear wooden hairpins, and they don’t look conspicuous when worn.

Father Ye also gave wooden hairpins to Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye before. They were very happy and they still wear them every day.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye have been wearing their wooden hairpins for more than a year, and it's time to get new ones.

As for Ye Qingqing, when buying hairpins, just buy two small wooden dolls, or two small clay figurines.

As for foodie Ye Xilin, as long as he has something to eat, that's all.

After Ye Donglin decided what he wanted to buy, he went straight to East Street. East Street is dedicated to women's business. There are embroidery workshops, cloth shops, shops selling rouge and gouache, silver shops and various small stalls.

Ye Donglin stored the donkey cart and then started shopping on the East Street. Ye Donglin didn't dare to go in and look at the magnificent shops. He couldn't afford them anyway.

Ye Donglin only looked at the small stalls on the street. It was already a little late and there were relatively few people on the street, but this also made it easier for Ye Donglin to choose slowly.

Ye Donglin came to a stall selling wood carvings. The stall owners were a mother and daughter. They looked about the same age as Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing.

The woman wears a wooden hairpin on her head, which is carved with unknown flowers. The hairpin is very unique.

The little girl on the side lowered her head and was carving a small doll. The doll only had a prototype, but it could also be seen that it was a puppy.

Ye Donglin couldn't help but praise: "The girl is good at her craftsmanship."

Wang Chunyu, who was concentrating on carving, was startled by Ye Donglin. He looked up and saw Ye Donglin with a bright smile.

Ye Donglin felt a little embarrassed when he saw that he had scared the little girl.

The woman on the side came to the rescue and said, "What does this young master want to buy? We have hairpins and combs for women, as well as wooden knives, slingshots and small dolls for children."

Ye Donglin looked at the puppy doll in the little girl's hand and asked, "Is there a puppy doll like this in the girl's hand? There happen to be two puppies at home."

Wang Chunyu took out two puppy puppets and said with a blushing face: "Yes, yes, but they were made by me. My carving skills are not good enough and I can't do them well."

Ye Donglin took over the two puppy dolls. They were indeed not as exquisite and beautiful as the ones on the stall, but they were polished very well and the surface was very smooth and delicate. The little girl must have put a lot of effort into making them.

He glanced at the little girl who was a little nervous and smiled: "It's so cute. I want both."

Wang Chunyu was very happy. Ye Donglin was the first person to buy what she made.

A bright smile appeared on Lin Chunyu's face, and he said in a clear voice: "Wood carvings cost 5 cents each, and two of them cost 10 cents in total. You are the first person to buy what I made, so I charge you 8 cents. .”

Ye Donglin took out his wallet and gave 8 copper coins to the little girl.

Just as Ye Donglin was about to leave, he saw the wooden hairpins on the side and remembered that he was here to buy hairpins.

Ye Donglin asked naively: "I want to buy hairpins for my grandma and my mother. What style should I choose?"

Wang Chunyu's mother smiled and said: "Young Master is really filial, how about I help you choose?"

Ye Donglin nodded. He really didn't know much about the things these women used.

Originally, he planned to buy the one that the boss wore on his head, but he thought that women don't seem to like wearing the same clothes as others, and presumably they don't like wearing the same hairpins as others, right?

The woman showed Ye Donglin a few hairpins. These hairpins were suitable for an old lady to wear and were made of fine wood. "

Ye Donglin took it and took a closer look. The knife work and wood were both good.

"This knife is really good. Is it made by yourself?"

Wang Chunyu said proudly: "Everything on the stall is made by my father, who is the best carpenter in our village."

Ye Donglin looked at Wang Chunyu's energetic appearance, raised the corners of his mouth, and picked out a simple and elegant hairpin.

Then the woman took out a few more hairpins and said, "The young master is about the same age as the young daughter. The young master's mother should be about the same age as me. These hairpins are all good."

Ye Donglin chose an orchid-style hairpin for Ye Mu.

Ye Donglin gave the money, then looked at Wang Chunyu and asked for some reason, "Do you often set up a stall here?"

Wang Chunyu smiled crookedly, "As long as it doesn't rain, my mother and I will come here to set up a stall every five days."

Seeing something strange on the woman's face, Ye Donglin stopped talking to Wang Chunyu and took the things to buy wine for Mr. Ye and Father Ye.

After Ye Donglin bought the wine, he finally bought a sugar painting and a pound of sugar for Ye Xilin.
