The happy little days of the Ye family

After lunch, Father Ye, Ye Donglin, Ye Xilin and Tang Xiaojing drove the donkey cart and ox cart back to transport the remaining furniture from the braised pork shop.

The remaining Ye Qingqing and others were responsible for cleaning the grocery store.

Several people took rags and carefully wiped the shelves, counters, and everything in the grocery store one by one. Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye finally mopped the floor clean.

The shop is built with blue bricks and tiles, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs. It looks particularly clean and comfortable.

After cleaning, Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing were too tired to move. The mother and daughter were back to back, chatting.

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye on the side did not feel tired at all, and they were still discussing with great interest what other products the family could produce in addition to grain and dry goods that could be sold in the grocery store.

Old Mrs. Ye: "The town is different from the village. You have to buy every onion and vegetable. Anyway, we can't finish the vegetables and fruits in the small vegetable garden. You can send some to the grocery store."

Mr. Ye nodded, "I think it's okay, and things like dried vegetables, sauerkraut, and pickled bamboo shoots can also be brought to the grocery store and sold."

Old Mrs. Ye also thought of the pond at home, "There are also fish in the pond. The town is not far away, so we can bring the fish to the grocery store."

There is a well in the shop, so you can raise the fish in a large water tank and sell them slowly.

"The salted duck eggs you made taste good."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot the salted duck eggs."

After cleaning up and just taking a rest, Father Ye and the others brought the stuff from the braised pork shop.

In addition to delivering the counters, tables and chairs from the grocery store, Father Ye and others also brought various pots and pans used at the braised pork stall.

Even for firewood, Father Ye sent two big bundles.

The few people were quick to unload the things and moved them one by one to the shop and put them away.

As soon as you enter from the door, there is a small counter.

The style of the counter is exactly the same as that of a grocery store. There are also 4 large drawers with locks inside the counter.

There are also two matching chairs inside the counter.

Originally, Father Ye planned to put a chair inside the counter, but Mrs. Ye felt that people in the family would come there often.

Leave an extra chair so that we can sit and chat together to pass the time.

There is a wooden shelf that is one person high next to the counter. This shelf is used to hold braised pork.

There is a large chopping board next to the shelf where the braised pork is placed, which is used for cutting the braised pork and serving braised pork rice.

As soon as the guests come in, the most eye-catching thing is the shelf where the braised pork is placed.

Whatever you want to eat, you just pick it on the shelf, and then Father Ye cuts the braised pork or serves braised pork rice on the chopping board nearby.

In this way, Father Ye can take care of the entire braised pork shop by himself.

The Ye family's shop was built by themselves, so it is relatively spacious. Not counting the innermost kitchen, the outside shop alone is 40 square meters.

The shop is still quite spacious even after placing 8 tables.

Ye’s father planned to sell both braised pork and braised pork rice just like the braised pork stall at the pier.

The braised pork can be packed in oil paper and taken away, while the braised pork rice must be eaten in the shop.

When he used to sell braised pork at a stall on the pier, Ye's father always sold it with rice wine and honey water.

But Father Ye is worried that if he sells alcohol, what if the customers get drunk in the shop?

Moreover, drinking is easy to cause trouble. If you get into a fight in the shop, you will damage the things in the shop, and it will also delay making money.

Originally, Father Ye was still debating whether to sell drinks. Later, when Father Ye went to the government to inquire, it turned out that his braised pork shop was not qualified to sell drinks.

Now Father Ye doesn't have to worry about it. The braised pork shop can't sell drinks at all.

Since he can no longer sell rice wine, Father Ye plans to sell tea in the shop.

Just like Wang's tea stall, they sell honey water, mung bean soup, sour plum soup and chrysanthemum tea, which can clear away heat and relieve tiredness.

The innermost part of the shop is the kitchen. The kitchen is not big, and even a few people cannot turn around when they enter.

There are three stoves inside, and Father Ye has also brought three large iron pots.

The back of the kitchen is used to store firewood. When Father Ye went home to transport things, he also brought two bundles of dry firewood.

Ye Mu also placed two small shelves in the kitchen, which are used to hold things. The kitchen is not big, so having these two small shelves can save some space.

Father Ye also brought over the pots and pans that he used when selling braised pork. Mother Ye packed them carefully and put them all on the kitchen shelf.

There is no small room for resting in the braised pork shop, but there are many stools here, so you can take a nap in the shop.

If you really can't, you can go to the grocery store next door to rest. You can go directly to the store next door from the public well, which is quite convenient.

Butcher Zhang would kill pigs at home at midnight every day, and Ye's father had already made an agreement with him to deliver the pig meat and pig heads ordered by Ye's father to Ye's house every morning.

Father Ye planned to clean up the pig heads and sewers at home first, and then bring them to the shop to marinate them.

The smell of braised pork is strong. If Father Ye braised pork in the shop, the aroma of braised pork would probably be smelled in the alleys next door.

No publicity is needed, everyone nearby knows that a braised pork shop is opened here, and you can find Ye's braised pork shop by following the smell of braised pork.

And you braise pork in the shop every day, and everyone knows that the braised pork in the shop is newly cooked today.

However, this consumes more firewood. From now on, Father Ye will have to use a lot of firewood from home every day.

The braised pork shop didn't have as many items as the grocery store. It didn't take an hour for a few people to clean up the braised pork shop.

After packing up the two shops, Father Ye took two more plaques from the donkey cart.

One is Ye's Grocery Store, and the other is Ye's Braised Meat Shop.

Mrs. Ye carefully wiped the two plaques clean, and then asked Father Ye and Ye Donglin to hang the two plaques at the door of the corresponding shop.

Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye have already made a good decision. Ten days from now will be a good day, which is very suitable for the opening of the shop.

Therefore, the Ye family's braised pork shop and grocery store are both scheduled to open together in 10 days.

Father Ye had gone to the government to register the two shops half a month ago. Both the grocery store and the braised pork shop had to pay a [-]% tax on the profits earned.

Taxes must be paid to the government on your own in the last month of the year. If you default on taxes, you will be fined. If you default on taxes for more than six months, the shop will be closed down.

Father Ye has also consulted the paperwork, because the Ye family has many fields and two hills, and Father Ye and his descendants are still farmers.

As long as he pays business taxes on time and pays the business tax on time, the Ye family will not become a merchant just because they opened a shop.

Of course, if you become a big businessman, that's another story.

After setting up the two shops, the group happily went to the house at the back.

The house is almost complete, and there is still some finishing work left. It will be completed in about two days.

Fang Lin made an appointment with Father Ye to come over in three days to inspect and accept the house and pay the balance of the house.
