The happy little days of the Ye family

On the day the shop opened, before dawn, Butcher Zhang’s eldest son came to Ye’s house carrying meat.

On the first day of business, Ye’s father didn’t know how the business was going, so he didn’t dare to order a lot of meat.

Father Ye only ordered a pair of pig meat, half a big pig head and 2 pounds of ribs.

Father Ye planned to clean the waste at home first, and then take it to the shop to marinate it.

As for the spicy duck and spicy rabbit, Father Ye braised them in advance in the evening and took them directly to the braised meat shop after reheating them in the morning.

As for why we don't braise it directly in the shop, firstly, the kitchen in the shop is too small, and secondly, we are worried that someone will steal the spicy duck recipe.

Although there is already another spicy duck shop on the pier, there is no spicy braised food in town.

At least in the town, spicy duck products and spicy rabbits are their exclusive business, and they can't let others steal the recipes.

Father Ye killed two ducks and a rabbit last night and made spicy rabbit meat and spicy duck meat.

There are more local merchants on the pier, and there are also many people who eat spicy food.

However, the taste in Luohe Town is relatively light, and Father Ye is actually not sure whether everyone can accept this spicy taste.

Father Ye was worried that he would be too busy, and the braised pork would not be ready until noon, so he deliberately staggered the opening times of the two shops.

The grocery store opens in the morning, and the braised meat shop opens at noon.

Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye and Ye Xilin stayed at home to clean the sewage and pig heads.

Father Ye and Mother Ye took Ye Donglin and Ye Qingqing to the grocery store first.

In addition to the four members of the Ye family, the donkey cart also contained two buckets of lively fish and a large jar of old marinade for braised pork.

The fish was fished out by Mr. Ye from the pond on the side of Zhulin Mountain yesterday afternoon.

There were five large grasses weighing five to six kilograms and eight palm-sized crucian carps.

It's not far from Taohua Village to the shop, it only took a quarter and a half minutes. When we got to the shop, the two buckets of fish were still very vigorous.

Father Ye and Ye Donglin poured the fish into the large water tank prepared in advance, and then picked up two buckets of well water and poured it in.

As soon as Father Ye put the bucket away, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing came to the shop. The father and son came here specially to help.

Immediately afterwards, Grandma Ye came over with her second uncle and second aunt to help.

There is a notice posted on the door of the shop offering a bundle of rags for free with a purchase of 10 cents, as well as a list and prices of various goods.

Although not many people can read, there are several scholars in the alley.

Within two days, everyone in the nearby alleys knew that the Ye family's two shops were opening today.

There are also fabrics at special prices, and there is an event where you will get a bundle of rags for every 10 Wen you spend.

At this time, there were seven or eight women waiting at the door. They all wanted to buy fabrics at special prices.

Some of them came to join in the fun because of the free rags.

Seeing someone waiting at the door, Father Ye quickly took out the firecrackers he had prepared.

The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the street, and everyone on the street knew that Ye's shop was open for business.

A lot of people came to the shop. The most popular ones were the fabrics at special prices, and there were also many people who wanted large pieces of fabric.

If you pay more than 10 pennies, you will get a bundle of rags. Most people take things for 10 pennies.

When Father Ye was collecting the money, he found that many women took two bundles of large pieces of cloth, which was just 10 cents.

Father Ye said nothing and happily distributed the rags to the women one by one.

Some people were very smart and bought something worth 10 cents first and took the gift of cloth.

Then he took the things home, then ran over to buy other things, and then took a bundle of cloth back.

Some people who are very economical even make several trips in a row.

Father Ye didn't care. Anyway, the cost of rags was low. If you spent 10 cents or more, you would get a bundle of rags, so their family still made a profit.

Although Ye's Grocery Store is a grocery store, it also sells grain, dry goods, side dishes, fresh vegetables and fresh fish.

The shop has a wide variety of items and is very complete, so customers who come into the grocery store will basically buy something worth about 10 cents.

The women who originally planned to go to the market to buy vegetables also came to Ye's grocery store.

Although the variety of dishes here is a little smaller, the majong is small and well-equipped, so you can buy all the dishes for a day with just a little bit of effort.

The main thing is that if you have something as a gift, don’t give it away for free.

The women are very satisfied with the Ye family's grocery store. In addition to groceries, they also have grain, vegetables and fish. In the future, they can buy groceries at their doorstep.

Seeing that Ye's grocery store really had rags for delivery, people from several nearby alleys came to join in the fun.

There were more and more people in the grocery store, and the Ye family members couldn't close their mouths with laughter.

Father Ye is responsible for collecting money at the counter, while Ye Donglin, Mother Ye and Ye Qingqing are responsible for introducing the items in the shop to customers and weighing food.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were guarding the door in case anyone came to make trouble.

Grandma Ye, her second uncle, and her second aunt saw that they couldn't help, so they simply went to the braised pork shop nearby to wait.

If you can't help, at least don't get in the way.

The three of them didn't wait long before Ye Xilin drove the donkey cart and brought Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye over.

Ye Xilin parked the donkey cart at the door, and his second uncle hurried over to help unload the things on the donkey cart.

In addition to making braised pork, Mr. Ye also specially brought two bundles of chopped dry firewood.

After moving everything down, Mr. Ye and Ye Xilin saw that there was nothing they could do at the braised pork shop, so they went to the grocery store next door to help.

At this time, there were more people in the grocery store. In addition to those buying fabrics at special prices, there were also many women coming to buy vegetables and grain.

There were more people, and Ye Qingqing and the others seemed to be in a hurry.

Mr. Ye hurried over to help weigh the food, and Ye Xilin also went over to help kill the fish.

Mother Ye saw Mr. Ye coming and quickly went to the braised pork shop next to her to help make braised pork.

Mother Ye brought over a large clay pot of old marinade. She had added salt and various spices to it before coming over.

Just put the cleaned meat and vegetables into the marinade.

There are three large iron pots in the kitchen, one for braised pork and one for braised vegetables.

Another large iron pot is used to cook hard-boiled eggs. After peeling the hard-boiled eggs, put them into the pot of braised pork to make braised eggs.

In the first three days of opening, anyone who comes into the shop to buy braised pork will receive a braised egg as a gift.

Mother Ye saw that there were so many people in the grocery store next door, and there were also many people in the braised pork shop, so she boiled 100 eggs.

The second uncle and the second aunt were responsible for lighting the fire, Mrs. Ye and Grandma Ye were peeling eggs, and Mother Ye was responsible for watching the braised pork and braised vegetables in the pot.

After the white water eggs were cooked, Ye Mu then cooked a large pot of sweet potato rice.

As the old marinade is slowly boiled, the aroma of braised pork slowly wafts out from the kitchen.

Not to mention the grocery store next door, the whole alley could smell the aroma of braised pork.

People at the grocery store asked Father Ye when the braised pork shop would open.

Father Ye said happily: "The braised pork shop opens at noon. In addition to selling braised pork, there is also braised pork rice."

"Boss Ye, I heard that anyone who buys braised pork at a braised pork shop can get a braised egg as a gift. Is this true?"

"Yes, when you buy braised pork at Yejia braised pork shop, whether it is braised vegetables, braised pork, or braised pork rice, you will get a braised egg as a gift."

"Vegetarian dishes include potatoes, dried tofu and radishes. Braised meats include braised pig offal, braised pork head and braised pork ribs."

“There are also spicy duck products, spicy duck meat and spicy rabbit meat.”

Listening to the name of the dish announced by Father Ye and smelling the aroma of meat coming from next door, many people swallowed their saliva.
