The happy little days of the Ye family

Mr. Ye rarely comes to the county. After selling the lotus roots, he stopped by the dock to see Father Ye and Ye Donglin's stall.

When Mr. Ye and Tang Xiaojing arrived at the pier, Father Ye's braised pork stall was busy.

Several well-dressed and plump men gathered around the stall. Some were buying braised pork and some were buying spicy duck products. Speaking of which, the spicy duck products sold better.

Ye's father became famous on the dock for his spicy duck and braised pork. Every day, many local merchants and merchants from Shu came to patronize the stall.

Ye's father's braised pork stall gradually became different from the braised pork stall of his uncle who originally sold pancakes.

Most of what Ye's father's stall sells is spicy duck and braised pork that are delicious but more expensive.

The other one takes the affordable route. Although the taste is average, the price is affordable, and many people who work on the dock eat there every day.

Although there are two stalls selling braised pork on the pier, and some people go to the other stall, the prices Father Ye sells are high and the profits are high. He can earn five or six hundred cash a day.

Compared with Ye's father's success, Ye Donglin's business is much cooler. Later in the year, a stall selling local specialties was added to the pier, and Ye Donglin's business suddenly dropped a lot.

The business of the second cousin's tea stall gradually improved due to the addition of pastries made by Grandma Ye, and it sold a lot of pastries every day.

During meal time, Mr. Ye and Tang Xiaojing helped sell braised pork rice at Ye's father's braised pork stall.

With the help of the two of them, Father Ye easily sold out all the braised pork rice on the stall.

In the afternoon, Mr. Ye came back with Father Ye and Tang Xiaojing.

The three of them just came back and went to Liu's house non-stop to transport the loaded piglets back.

Before Ye Donglin went out in the morning, he specially brought the lotus roots that he wanted to give to the Wang family.

Today is not the day for Wang Chunyu and his daughter to set up a stall, so Ye Donglin closed the stall early and drove the donkey cart to Wangjia Village.

Wangjia Village is on the outskirts of the county, very close to the county, so many people in the village work on the docks, and many people know Ye Donglin.

Ye Donglin met many familiar faces along the way. They were all people who worked on the dock or bought things from Ye's stall. It took a lot of time to say hello on the way.

Many women in the village saw that Ye Dongli was a talented person and had a small business at home. They were very upset that they didn't invite a matchmaker to Ye's house earlier to see their match, and they got Wang Chunyu's advantage in vain.

Wang Chunyu was also a popular good girl in Wangjia Village. There were two young men staring at Ye Donglin fiercely on the road.

Ye Donglin was very proud of these envious and jealous looks. He was still discerning and quick to act.

Ye Donglin came to the Wang family. At this time, there were only Wang Chunyu and her mother Li in the Wang family.

Wang Chunyu was sitting in the yard, making wood carvings seriously, while Mrs. Li was in the yard picking vegetables for dinner.

Seeing Ye Donglin coming to the door, the mother and daughter quickly put down what they were holding and hurried forward.

Ye Donglin led the donkey cart into the yard, and then took out a large basket of fresh lotus roots from the donkey cart.

"Auntie, these are the lotus roots I just dug yesterday. They are fresh. I brought them here specially for you to try."

Wang Chunyu was curious as to why there were still lotus roots at this time, "Aren't these lotus roots usually dug years ago? Where did they come from so many lotus roots?"

Ye Donglin and Wang Chunyu were engaged, and the Wang family were not outsiders. Ye Donglin briefly told Wang Chunyu and Li about their family's purchase of an old house.

"There is a small lotus pond in the backyard of that house. There are some lotus roots in it. He dug them out yesterday."

Ye Donglin lowered his voice again and said: "Wealth is invisible. People in our village don't know that our family bought a house in the town. I hope my aunt won't tell anyone."

Li quickly responded: "It's natural. Wealth is invisible. I know this. I won't tell anyone about this."

After the New Year, the Ye family bought 50 acres of wasteland and opened a lot of paddy fields. Now they have bought a house in the town. The conditions of the Ye family are getting better and better. Ms. Li is both happy and worried.

The Ye family's conditions are so good. Although she wants to show off to outsiders, she is more afraid that someone who is interested in the Ye family's family background will interfere with the Ye family's marriage.

Mrs. Li knew that the Ye family's financial situation was good, and she specifically told her family members not to show off the Ye family's wealth in the village.

She was afraid that some evil-minded people would take advantage of the Ye family's money and steal her daughter's marriage.

Seeing that the two were engaged, Mrs. Li was very satisfied with Ye Donglin as her son-in-law, so she went into the house specially and left the two young men to cultivate their relationship in the yard.

Ye Donglin took out a box of hand cream and a pair of beaded flowers from his arms, and thrust the things into Wang Chunyu's hand with a blushing face.

Tang Xiaojing bought these things for Ye Qingqing a few days ago, and Ye Qingqing was very happy to receive the gifts.

They were both young girls of about the same age. Since his sister liked it, Ye Donglin thought that Wang Chunyu would also like it, so he followed Tang Xiaojing's example and bought a copy for Ye Chunyu.

Seeing that Wang Chunyu liked him, Ye Donglin also showed a silly smile on his face. He was very grateful to his future brother-in-law. It seemed that he should be nicer to him in the future.

When Ye Donglin returned home triumphantly, Ye's mother had just prepared dinner.

During the meal, Ye Xilin asked Mrs. Ye, "Nai, why do we only raise big pigs and not sows at home?"

"A sow can give birth to two litters a year, and each litter can give birth to 6 to 8 piglets. She can give birth to at least more than 10 piglets a year."

"At 200 cents for a piglet, a sow can earn three taels of silver a year. I feel that raising sows is more cost-effective than raising big pigs."

Old Mrs. Ye also thought of the three sows raised by the Liu family. "In the past, there were not many people raising pigs in the village, so they didn't think about raising sows. Nowadays, there are more people opening up wasteland, and people in the village are thinking about raising more pigs and raising sows." Pigs can think about it."

Mr. Ye didn't agree very much, "Isn't it bad to compete with the orphans and widowers of the Liu family for business?"

"The Liu family only raises three sows, and the piglets are not enough for the people in the village."

"Besides, my family has 50 acres of paddy fields, and the pig manure from the 10 pigs at home is not enough to fertilize it. There are so many long-term workers in the family, so it would be a pity not to raise more pigs."

Ye Xilin suggested enthusiastically: "Nai, how about our family also raises a few sows, and provides piglets for our own family and the Tang family, and does not sell them to people in the village, so that it will not affect the Liu family."

"Grandpa and grandma, you are good at raising pigs. If the pigs at home are raised well, raising sows will definitely not be a problem."

Mr. Ye was very happy to see that Ye Xilin was interested in raising pigs. Mr. Ye made his fortune by raising pigs and has always wanted to pass on the skill of raising pigs.

The eldest grandson is doing a small business on the dock, and he is doing very well. The granddaughter can't do heavy work. It seems that the skill of raising pigs will be carried forward by the younger grandson.
