The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye, who was thinking about the new dishes, got up early before the rooster crowed at home.

The rabbit has been marinated last night and can be reheated with the spicy duck in the morning.

Father Ye cut a large piece of rabbit meat into small pieces in advance, which was to be taken to the dock for customers to try.

Father Ye thought that there was more spicy rabbit meat on the stall, so he just bought two more cans of honey.

There are more people who eat spicy food, and there must be more people who drink honey water.

In Ye’s father’s braised pork stall, honey water is actually the most profitable.

The stall sells more than 20 bowls of honey water every day for 7 cents a bowl. You can earn more than 100 cents just selling honey water in a day.

In fact, other stalls also want to follow suit and sell honey water, but honey is hard to find.

Even if I occasionally encounter someone selling honey, the quantity is not large and it is sold out within a few days. Moreover, the cost of buying honey is high, and you can't make much money.

Father Ye's honey water is sold together with the spicy duck products on the stall. If the honey water is sold alone, it probably won't sell much.

Father Ye was busy in the kitchen for a while, and Ye Xilin also got up.

The two newly built stoves have been completely dried, and Father Ye has also bought a new large iron pot, which can be used to cook pig food today.

Ye Xilin brought several large baskets of pigweed over and cut the pigweed into large pieces with a few clicks of his kitchen knife.

Throw the chopped pigweed into four large iron pots, and then cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and throw them into the pot.

After cutting the sweet potatoes, Ye Xilin was already tired and sweating profusely. He had held the kitchen knife for too long and his hands were shaking.

Ye Xilin rested for a while, then added bean dregs and an appropriate amount of water to the pot, and then started to light the fire.

Ye Xilin felt that the two stove holes were extremely hot.

Now that there are two more burners, when Ye Xilin lights the fire, he feels like he was roasting on the fire just like the meat in the oven yesterday.

While lighting the fire, Ye Xilin muttered helplessly: "What a mistake. Several stoves are facing each other, making it even hotter."

After finally lighting the fire, Ye Xilin quickly added large pieces of wood to the stove and walked away quickly.

As soon as Father Ye arrived at the dock, he did not rush to sell the spicy rabbit meat. Instead, he soaked several bowls of honey water and set it aside.

After soaking in honey water, Father Ye took out the spicy rabbit meat to try.

"Spicy rabbit meat, spicy rabbit meat, free trial of the new spicy rabbit meat. Free trial of spicy rabbit meat!"

Ye's father's braised pork stall was already somewhat famous on the pier. There were new dishes to try, and the stall was suddenly crowded with people.

Although the merchants on the pier are not short of money, they don't want to eat for free, and they are all rushing to try the free things.

The rabbit is made from hare. Rabbit meat is relatively strong and chewy. It tastes very fragrant and is not greasy at all.

People who like spicy food especially like it, but they can't eat spicy food. It will feel like spitting fire as soon as you eat it.

Father Ye brought out two plates of rabbit meat to try, and they were all eaten in one go.

A man in green clothes ate a small piece of spicy rabbit meat and found it unsatisfactory.

"Boss Ye, how do you sell this spicy rabbit meat?"

As soon as Father Ye heard this accent, he knew he was a merchant from Shu, and said cheerfully:

"Rabbit meat costs 15 cents per portion and half a catty, half a rabbit head costs 16 cents, and one rabbit leg costs 16 cents."

The price is a little expensive, but rabbit meat itself is not cheap, so the merchants are not short of money.

"Boss Ye, I want a portion of spicy rabbit meat and a portion of spicy rabbit head, and half a pound of rice wine."

"One rabbit leg, and two duck wings."

This is a local merchant who is particularly good at spicy food. He often comes to Ye’s father to buy spicy duck products, and Ye’s father even recognizes him.

"This rabbit meat is too spicy. Give me a braised pork ribs and two braised eggs."

This is also a regular customer, a local fabric merchant who often comes to the dock to purchase goods.

"Boss Ye, please have two portions of rabbit heads." This was also a familiar businessman from Shu.

In less than a while, one rabbit was sold out, and several bowls of honey water were also sold.

Everyone’s feedback on the new dish was pretty good, and not long after, both spicy rabbits were sold out.

Father Ye saw that there was still a lot of braised pork left on the stall and thought to himself, people really like the new and hate the old.

The spicy rabbit meat sells well, but other braised meats on the stall don't sell so well.

Fortunately, there are many new merchants on the dock every day, and the large ships carrying goods stay at the dock.

The new merchants won't get tired of it, and most of the remaining braised pork was bought by these new merchants.

Spicy rabbit meat is particularly good with wine, and a lot of rice wine is also sold at the stall.

The braised pork at Ye’s father’s stall has been sold out early.

After selling the braised pork rice at noon, Father Ye drove his donkey cart home early under the envious eyes of other vendors.

The first thing I do when I get home is count the money together as a family.

Two more rabbits were braised today, but one less braised duck. Therefore, the money for selling braised pork was only 40 Wen more than usual.

However, I sold more honey water and rice wine, and I actually made [-] cash today.

In the past, the price was around [-] ren, but now it was a full [-] ren. Father Ye was so happy that his mouth was about to burst to the back of his ears.

"Your father brought three hares back from Xiaohoushan in the morning, and they were all marinated in the evening." Mrs. Ye's voice rose, and she could not conceal her happiness.

At this time, Mr. Ye ran in in a hurry and asked Mrs. Ye to get him 2 taels of silver.

"what happened?"

"Carpenter Tang took people into the mountains today and got a batch of good wood. I have seen the wood and it is just used for Qingqing's dowry."

"I just asked Carpenter Tang to help keep it, but in the past two years, there have been many families marrying their daughters in the village."

"There are many people who are interested in that batch of wood. Please give me the money quickly. I will pay the money first and don't let others rob it."

Mother Ye quickly said: "Father, mother, it will be fine if Qingqing's dowry and Fengshou and I come out."

After saying that, Mother Ye quickly went back to her room and took out two taels of silver.

Father Ye took the money and said to Mr. Ye, "Dad, let me go to Uncle Tang's place with you."

Father Ye was worried that he didn't have enough money, so he took all the money on the table with him.

The father and son went to the Tang family and saw both the Wang family at the head of the village and the Li family at the end of the village.

Father Ye knew that both families had daughters who were getting married, and they had been looking for dowry materials recently.

Uncle Tang was familiar with Father Ye, so he asked Father Ye and Mr. Ye to pick the wood first.

Father Ye plans to buy a complete set of furniture for Ye Qingqing.

A large bed, wardrobe, dressing table, table, chairs, tubs and barrels are all included.

Fortunately, Uncle Tang found more wood this time. Father Ye asked for almost half of it, and the remaining wood was divided equally between the Wang family and the Li family.
