The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye thought for a while and then said: "The spicy duck product has a strong taste, and not everyone can eat spicy food. I want to add honey water to the stall, just because I am afraid it will affect the business of Lin Xiaozi's tea stall."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is a sensible person. Besides, honey is much more expensive than sugar. This honey water will definitely not be sold cheaply. It will not affect the tea sold by Mr. Lin."

"There is a lot of braised sesame water and braised vegetables left today. I will send some to my parents' house later. By the way, I will tell my second brother and Mr. Lin that we are going to sell honey water."

Ye Qingqing looked at Father Ye: "How much does a bowl of this honey water cost?"

Everyone looked at Tang Xiaojing again.

Tang Xiaojing was very happy about everyone's trust in him, as if he was also a member of the Ye family.

Tang Xiaojing thought about the tea he drank in the county, "Honey is rare. Buying honey depends on luck. The tea stalls in the county do not sell honey water."

"Ordinary sugar water costs 3 cents a bowl. Things are rare and expensive. I think this honey water can be doubled. It should be no problem to sell it for six or seven cents."

Father Ye made a direct decision: "This honey is from home-raised bees. No one else can imitate it. Let's just sell the honey water for 7 cents a bowl."

Mrs. Ye felt that the price charged by the pharmacy for honey was too low, so she told Father Ye: "The honey at home can actually be sold at the dock. Selling it yourself is definitely more cost-effective than selling it to the pharmacy."

Father Ye thinks selling honey is not bad: "Those merchants come from far away places. This honey is good whether you buy it back as a souvenir or drink it on the road."

"There are still a few small one-pound clay pots at home. I will take a few pots to the dock tomorrow to try them."

Tang Xiaojing made another small suggestion, "The price of honey in the county is generally 40 to 42 cents per pound. If sold to merchants, the price can be increased by another one or two cents."

Father Ye: "Then let's try it at 43 Wen per pound first. If you buy it with the clay pot, we will sell it at 45 Wen per pot."

Ye Qingqing came up with a good idea, "Dad, you made stewed chicken with dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots on the pier for trial use. Didn't everyone on the pier like it very much? You can make this and sell it on the pier."

Ye Qingqing also likes to eat this vegetable. "Whether it's chicken or dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms, they are all ready-made at home, so I can make a pot of them in the evening."

Father Ye: "Tomorrow, the amount of pork offal and stewed vegetables served by the stall owner will be reduced by half. This dried mushroom and bamboo shoot stewed chicken can just make up for it. Not bad, Qingqing is really smart."

Everyone was talking to each other, and the smile on Father Ye's face slowly came back, and he was ready to go to the dock to have a big fight tomorrow.

Father Ye arrived at Butcher Zhang's house carrying braised sesame water and braised vegetables. At this time, Butcher Zhang happened to have bought a big fat pig from another village.

Father Ye put the braised water and braised vegetables on the stone table aside and quickly stepped forward to help.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to put the two-hundred-pound fat pig into the pig pen.

Father Ye sat on the stone bench panting, "This pig is really fat."

Butcher Zhang on the side acted as if nothing was wrong and said angrily: "The autumn harvest is coming soon. Meat has been selling well these days. I specially asked my father-in-law to leave the big fat pig for me."

Butcher Zhang looked at the braised pork on the table and said with a smile: "It would be great to keep this braised pork and sell it. Why do you bring so much here?"

Father Ye frowned and said, "A new braised pork stall opened on the pier today. The braised pork belly and braised vegetables are all the leftovers sold today."

"Now that there is one more business hog, the pigs can't be sold. I want to change the situation from one pig to one every day to half a pair of pigs every day. The number of pig heads and ribs remains the same."

Butcher Zhang also understands that there is nothing he can do if business is not doing well.

"No problem. The pig sluts have been changed from the original pair to half a pair. Where are the pig's trotters and pig's tail? Do you want more?"

"You still need pig tails, and just two pig trotters a day."

Butcher Zhang said boldly: "Okay, starting tomorrow I will ask my wife to send you 3 pounds of ribs, half a pig head, half a pig's guts, two pig trotters and a pig tail. I promised to give you a pound of ribs and a big pig." The bones will still be given to you."

"Then thank you, Brother Zhang."

On the other side, Mother Ye also returned to her parents' house with a small basket. As soon as she entered the door, she saw dates all over the yard.

"We have a bumper harvest of jujubes at home. These jujubes are so well planted. They are bigger than those in Xiaohoushan."

The second aunt smiled and said: "Dad and your second brother go to visit several times a day. They spend a lot of money just to buy the excrement water."

The second aunt took the basket from Mother Ye's hand and was a little surprised to see a big bowl full of braised water and braised vegetables.

"Isn't this braised pork going to be sold on the dock? Why do you bring so much here?"

Grandma Ye looked at Mother Ye and asked worriedly: "Is the business of the braised pork stall not good?"

Ye Mu told Grandma Ye and her second aunt about the new braised pork stall on the dock and their family's plan to turn into a business for regular customers and wealthy people.

Grandma Ye: "It's okay to be separate from the newly opened Braised Pork Stall. Their family is doing business for ordinary people, and your family is doing business for wealthy merchants. It doesn't matter, and it's easy to make money for the rich." "

Mother Ye glanced at her second aunt, and then said: "The new spicy duck made at home has a strong taste, and not everyone can tolerate the spicy taste."

"Fengshou wants to add honey water to the stall to relieve the spicy taste, but I'm afraid it will affect Mr. Lin's tea business, so I came here to tell you."

The second aunt took Mother Ye's hand and said, "Am I such a stingy person? Our family doesn't sell honey water, so what impact will it have?"

Mother Ye smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law is the most angry. Aren't I afraid that it will affect the tea stall's business?"

The second aunt smiled and said: "It's okay, just sell honey water with confidence. This honey is rare, and you don't have to worry about other companies taking the business."

Grandma Ye brought half a basin of jelly and said, "I made jelly and I was just about to take it over for you to try. You can take it back to the Ye family when you come back."

Ye Mu took the jelly, put it on the stone table aside, and said cheerfully: "It looks delicious."

The second aunt said to Mother Ye with a smile on her face, "Young man Lin has fallen in love with a girl."

"Whose girl is it? From our village?" Mother Ye asked curiously.

"It's Qingmei who lives next door to your house. Qingmei plays well with Qingqing and Yue Yatou. She often came to play with Yue Yatou in the past. The two of them are childhood sweethearts and know each other well. I think it's good."

Ye Mu also thinks it's good, "It's very good. Qingmei is quick and hard-working. She has a good character and temperament, and she plays well with Yue Yatou. She won't be afraid of getting along with her in the future."

Ye Mu asked again: "Has this matter been cleared up by the Qingmei family? We can't let others get in first."

The second aunt said bitterly: "I've said it before, but the woman's family didn't agree or reject it. They just said that the two children are still young and they need to get along with each other for a while first. It's not like this brat is useless."

Mother Ye comforted her second aunt and said, "If you don't refuse, there will be something to play. The two of us are childhood sweethearts. No matter how good Lin is, I think this will happen sooner or later. This silly boy Dong Lin hasn't figured it out yet."
