The happy little days of the Ye family

Since setting up the grocery store, Ye Donglin has not gone to the dock to set up a stall, but has followed Ye's father to purchase goods every day.

The first place the father and son went to was Lijia Village in Yueya Town.

Although Ye's father's braised pork shop cannot sell wine, Ye Donglin's grocery store can still sell it.

The father and son bought 50 kilograms of rice wine from Mr. Li, who had bought rice wine before.

Mr. Li was very happy to see Father Ye coming over to buy rice wine again. In the past few years, the Li family had made a lot of money by selling rice wine. They even built a new house last year.

Then the father and son went to Li Dazhu's house and bought a batch of large stoneware bowls and stoneware basins for daily use, as well as many clay pots of different sizes.

There are also several large water tanks that were ordered before.

Except for one used for raising fish, the others are placed in the grocery store for food storage.

Therefore, Father Ye specially asked Li Dazhu to make several lids so that mice could not get in and eat.

Next door to Li Dazhu is Li Erzhu's house. Li Erzhu is good at making all kinds of exquisite and interesting gadgets.

Father Ye had already greeted Li Erzhu and asked him to help bake a batch of exquisite reading supplies.

Li Erzhu spent a lot of time researching, and finally made a ceramic paperweight, a ceramic pen holder, a ceramic pen holder, a small ceramic bookshelf, and several small dolls who were reading seriously.

Finally, the father and son went to Lijia Oil Factory again.

Rich families in the town like to eat clear oil, so Father Ye bought 5 pounds of rapeseed oil and 2 pounds of sesame oil.

Father Ye was not sure whether it would sell well, so he took a little bit and tried selling it first.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to inspect and accept the house, and Father Ye came to the town with his family.

Uncle Tang also came with us. After the house has been inspected, Uncle Tang can immediately measure the dimensions and start making furniture.

Tangshan didn't come with him this time, but Tang Xiaojing came along to join in the fun.

The Tang family's fields, pig pens and rabbit sheds are all taken care of by long-term workers. Tang Xiaojing is actually not busy.

Even if Tang Xiaojing couldn't make it, the family's long-term workers would patrol the mountains every day and check the prey in the traps.

The long-term worker of the Tang family has Uncle Yan who is good at making bacon. Although the bacon he makes is not as delicious as the one in Dashan Village, it still tastes pretty good.

If there weren't many prey in the trap, Tang Xiaojing would usually ask Uncle Yan to help make bacon.

Bacon is durable and can be kept for eating during busy farming periods or sold in the county.

Tang Xiaojing's current energy is mainly focused on taking care of the medicinal fields and processing medicinal materials on the two hills.

Father Ye planned to rent the two houses at the back to college students, so the houses were built quite elegantly.

The first thing they looked at was the house behind the grocery store.

From the entrance to the hall, there is a small and elegant stone road. This stone road is quite convenient. Even if it rains in the future, you will not be afraid of getting your shoes dirty.

On the left side of the yard, there is an exquisite small pavilion with a small stone table in the center of the pavilion.

This pavilion is not big, but it looks very delicate and beautiful.

On the right are two small flower beds, with soil already piled in the flower beds.

Ye Qingqing likes to read picture books and travel notes. The books often mention the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.

"Don't scholars like plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums? The most indispensable things on the mountain are wild chrysanthemums and bamboos."

Mr. Ye on the side thought this was a good idea: "I will go to the mountains to dig some wild chrysanthemums and bamboos in two days and plant them."

Isn’t it just chrysanthemums and bamboos? There are many in Xiaohoushan, and Mr. Ye is very active in doing things that don't cost money.

Walking along the stone road, the group of people arrived at the hall soon. There was nothing in the hall and it looked very big.

The house has a total of 4 main rooms and 2 wing rooms, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom.

Ye Qingqing and others have looked at every house. Master Fang is indeed a foreman who has been in the town for many years. This house is indeed well built.

In addition to the hall, there are a total of 5 rooms that can sleep. Father Ye plans to arrange them into three bedrooms, a study room and a utility room.

After looking at the house, several people went to the backyard.

The backyard is somewhat empty, with only a few small flower beds and a large shed.

This shed can be used to store firewood, and it can also be used as a donkey shed if the future tenant has a donkey cart.

Last time, Fang Lin promised Father Ye that he would dig a cellar for each house for free.

The cellar is dug in the open space in front of the kitchen, and the entrance to the cellar is right next to the kitchen door. It will be very convenient to get vegetables or grain in the future.

The cellar was quite big, as big as a room. Mr. Ye knocked on the surrounding walls a few times, and they were quite strong.

The group of people looked around carefully and thought it was pretty good. They were all quite satisfied.

The house behind the braised pork shop next door is the same as this one in terms of layout and size.

After checking it out, Mr. Ye and Father Ye felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so they gave the remaining balance to Fang Lin.

After the house was inspected, Father Ye and Mr. Ye took Uncle Tang with them, measuring the dimensions and talking about what furniture to build.

Because the two houses of the Ye family are for rent, in order to save money, Mr. Ye does not want to make too much furniture.

"Brother Tang, we need to buy a set of tables and chairs for eating in the hall, as well as a few chairs and small tables for chatting."

Father Ye also said: "There are a total of 5 sleeping rooms here, and three rooms are arranged for sleeping, so three large beds are enough."

"The other room will be used as a study room, with a large table, a chair, and a bookshelf."

"As for the last room, let it be empty for now. It may be used as a utility room or for other uses. They will make their own plans in the future."

Uncle Tang nodded and quickly wrote down what he wanted to do in his notebook.

"Are the two houses made the same?" Uncle Tang raised his head and asked.

Mr. Ye nodded, "Yes, let's make it the same. Please try to make it more refined."

The two houses are not small, but the combined furniture required is not as much as the two shops.

There are a total of two sets of tables and chairs for dining, some chairs for resting, 6 large beds, two desks and two large bookshelves.

"Uncle Tang, we are not in a hurry with these furniture. You can finish the door and windows of the house first."

"Okay, are these doors and windows also made of the same high-quality wood used in grocery stores?"

The doors and windows of the grocery store are made of the best wood. They look ordinary, but they are very hard, but the price is a bit expensive.

The house has a large door and many windows. If all of them are made of high-quality wood, how much money will it cost?

Neither Mr. Ye nor Father Ye wanted to spend so much money.

Old Mrs. Ye on the side suggested: "Use the best wood for the main door, and use medium wood for the other small doors and windows in the house. It should be more affordable."

The courtyard wall of the house is very high, and the gate is made of high-quality wood. It doesn't matter if the ones inside are worse.

Mrs. Ye looked at Uncle Tang, "Mr. Tang, how much money does it cost to make these furniture, doors and windows?"

"The two doors alone cost 12 taels of silver. Adding in the bits and pieces such as the windows and the big bed, it costs at least 20 taels of silver."

The doors, windows and furniture of the previous two shops cost a total of 18 taels of silver, and the total cost of the house was 38 taels of silver.

This is similar to what Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye had expected before. The main reason is that the doors and windows are made of high-quality wood and are relatively expensive.
