The happy little days of the Ye family

Ever since Wang's father and son and Chen Xiaoyun's mother and daughter settled in Taohua Village, the village chief dismissed the patrols.

Therefore, Father Ye, Ye Xilin, and second cousin Wang Lin also went back to setting up stalls on the dock to do small business.

However, after experiencing successive heavy rains and displaced people, there were many fewer merchants on the pier than usual.

Nowadays, the dock is a little deserted. The number of merchants is only about two-thirds of before, and the business has also dropped a lot.

Fortunately, Father Ye's braised pork stall still has the new spicy rabbit meat to support it, so the business is not too bleak.

The stall can basically sell two spicy rabbits every day, but most of the other braised meats cannot be sold out.

The spicy rabbit meat on the stall is made from rabbits hunted from two hills.

After all, the rabbit skin raised by oneself is intact, and the tanned rabbit skin can be made into a rabbit fur coat.

You can make more money from a rabbit fur coat than this spicy rabbit.

In the past few days, the braised pork on the stall has not been sold out, and the remaining braised pork has been taken back by Ye's father for extra dinner in the evening.

After eating braised pork for several days, Ye Qingqing was tired of it.

At this time, Ye Qingqing finally understood why those regular customers often urged them to develop new dishes.

With the new spicy rabbit, Ye's father's braised pork stall can basically earn about [-] yuan a day.

This is already considered very good. Ye Donglin's grocery stall only earns a few dozen cash a day, while Wang Lin's tea stall only earns twenty or thirty cash a day.

The most frequent stops at the pier in the past few days are ships transporting grain, which are all grain transferred by the county from other places that have not been affected by the disaster.

There were two heavy rainstorms in the first half of the year, and the summer harvest was only about [-]% of previous years.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of refugees poured into the county, and many grain stores were robbed. Now the price of grain in the entire county has remained high.

Even if the refugees are resettled, food prices are still twice as expensive as last year.

The braised pork was not sold out today, but luckily there was only half a braised duck and one braised pork rib left.

Father Ye saw that the dock was deserted, so he simply took the remaining braised pork back to eat at night.

When Ye's father returned home in the afternoon, Village Chief Yang and Orion Li from Dashan Village were already waiting for him at home.

The two of them sent wax rabbits and rabbit skins to Father Ye.

Currently, Father Ye has sent two batches of rabbits to Dashan Village.

The first batch of rabbits was sent to Dashan Village half a month before the summer harvest. There were 45 rabbits in total.

The price difference between the gray rabbit fur coat and the pure white rabbit fur coat is doubled.

It's a pity that none of the 45 rabbits are white, they are all gray rabbits.

After the rabbit was delivered, Li Orion was responsible for killing the rabbit, taking out the rabbit skin completely, and then making the rabbit skin into leather.

The village chief asked someone to make rabbit meat into wax rabbits, and then sent the rabbits and rabbit skin back to Father Ye.

When the first batch of wax rabbits were delivered, the dock was not as deserted as it is now. As soon as they were delivered to the dock, they were sold out in two days.

The 45-foot long rabbit skin was made into a rabbit fur coat by Ye Mu. A rabbit fur coat requires more than 20 long rabbit skins. The 45-foot-long rabbit skin was made into two rabbit fur coats.

Ye Fu is still saving the rabbit fur coats, hoping to sell them on the dock after the autumn harvest, when the price will be higher.

The second batch of rabbits was sent after the grain was harvested. A total of 42 rabbits were sent there.

Father Ye was lucky. One of the second batch of rabbits was pure white.

There are a total of 6 rabbits in this litter, and all 6 are pure white rabbits, which means that Father Ye can get 6 pure white rabbit skins.

When Father Ye got the second batch of rabbit skins, he immediately looked at the six pure white rabbit skins.

It is said that practice makes perfect, and it is absolutely true. Orion Li is now not only skinning small animals, but also tanning the skins, and has made great progress.

These white rabbit skins are very soft and complete, and their craftsmanship is no worse than those of the old hunters in the mountain villages.

In addition to white rabbit skins, other rabbit skins are also very well tanned. Father Ye is very satisfied. This batch of rabbit skins can make two more rabbit skin coats.

Father Ye inspected the rabbit skins and wax rabbits one by one and gave the wages to the village chief and Orion Li.

In addition to the rabbits raised by the Ye family, the village chief also brought a batch of rabbits raised by Dashan Village to make bacon and rabbit skins.

The entire village of Dashan Village is raising rabbits, and there are many more rabbits than the Ye family raises.

This is the first batch of rabbits to be sold in Dashan Village. I heard from Li Orion that there are 186 rabbits.

This time the village chief brought a total of 400 pounds of rabbits. In addition to the rabbits, there were also 186 rabbit skins.

Orion Li knew that pure white rabbit skin was valuable, so he specifically told the village chief to ask the breeding rabbit catchers in the village to catch more white rabbits as breeding rabbits.

Therefore, a quarter of the breeding rabbits in Dashan Village are white rabbits, and 40 of the rabbit skins brought here are white.

Father Ye was very happy when he saw so many white rabbit skins. If they were all made into rabbit skin coats, he would be able to earn 30 to [-] taels.

Father Ye happily collected all the rabbits and rabbit skins from Dashan Village.

The village chief received the 17 taels of silver from selling bacon and rabbit skins. He was so happy that the corners of his mouth were about to crack behind his ears.

Father Ye thought that with so many rabbit skins, there would be no need to go to mountain villages and Kaoshan villages to collect rabbit skins this year.

After collecting the wax rabbits and skins, Father Ye was in a good mood and took the village chief and Orion Li to the rabbit shed in Xiaohoushan.

Mr. Ye happened to be in the rabbit shed. Mr. Ye, Village Chief Yang and Orion Li exchanged their thoughts on raising rabbits for a long time.

After all, the people in Dashan Village have been dealing with rabbits for a long time, and they know more than Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has learned a lot.

When the village chief and Li Huhu left, they took more than 20 rabbits back to Dashan Village to be made into rabbits.

It rained heavily some time ago and there were refugees. The dock was deserted now. Father Ye was a little worried and didn't know how long it would take for it to return to the way it was before.

It's hard to do business on the dock now. Father Ye thought about it and decided to sell these rabbits first instead of accumulating too much capital on them.

There is no rush for the rabbit fur coat. It will take a month or two to make the rabbit fur coat into a rabbit fur coat. You can sell it at the dock after the autumn harvest.

Originally, the Ye family had 43 rabbits, plus 186 rabbits from the village, which could make 8 rabbit fur coats.

After the recycled rabbit skins are made into rabbit skin coats, the profit is about half.

But for rabbits raised at home, apart from the 12 cents of hard work for tanning the skins, the rest is earned.

The more Father Ye thought about it, the more he felt that raising rabbits was really good.
