The happy little days of the Ye family

In addition to needlework, the stall also has all kinds of beautiful silks from Hangzhou.

Ye Qingqing took a fancy to a piece of white silk at a glance. This silk was better than the one Ye Qingqing bought at Yang's Shop just now. It was perfect for embroidery.

Ye Qingqing looked at the middle-aged man in front of the stall, "Boss, how much is this white silk?"

The man held out his belly bigger than Shopkeeper Liang and said enthusiastically:

"Little lady, this white silk was sold for 5 taels of silver a piece in the morning. Now this is the last piece left. I'll give it to you at a cheaper price of 4 taels and 8 yuan."

This price is a little cheaper than that of Yangjia Cloth Store. Ye Qingqing was very happy, but still asked coldly:

"Where are the embroidery threads and embroidery needles I picked just now?"

"A bundle of embroidery thread costs 110 coins. Here are 18 bundles of embroidery thread. A set of embroidery needles costs 150 coins. A total of 2 taels costs 130 coins."

"White silk plus embroidery thread and embroidery needles, the total is 6 taels and 930 yuan. I will give you zero and the total is 6 taels and 9 yuan."

"Boss, I've picked out so many things. Six taels and five dollars is fine. If that's OK, I'll take these things."

The man looked troubled and said, "My dear, these are good things shipped from Hangzhou. They are different from ordinary cheap goods. They really can't be cheaper."

Ye Qingqing pulled Tang Xiaojing to leave. As he walked, he said, "It's already this hour, and everyone on the dock has almost left."

Seeing that Ye Qingqing was leaving, the middle-aged man quickly called Ye Qingqing back.

After some haggling between the two, Ye Qingqing finally bought these embroidery items for 6 taels and 6 yuan.

In addition, the middle-aged man also gave Ye Qingqing some ordinary needlework. Although he couldn't do embroidery, it was still good for making clothes.

The man who got the money happily said to Ye Qingqing:

"Little lady, we come here every two months. You are welcome to come again next time. Our embroidery thread and white silk are the most suitable for making embroidery."

Ye Qingqing took the things and responded with a smile: "Okay, I will come over if you need it."

Ye Qingqing is an embroiderer. She uses embroidery thread and white silk very quickly and needs to buy them every three or four months.

The things on the stall are indeed good, and the prices are a bit cheaper than those at Yangjia Cloth Store. It will also be good to buy embroidery thread and white silk from their store in the future.

Ye Qingqing planned to go back and discuss with Ye Mu. The four of them, mother and daughter, plus their second aunt and second cousin, would need a lot of things. If the quantity is large, it should be cheaper.

While shopping, Ye Qingqing was so happy that when she came to her senses, she realized that the 18 taels of silver she had spent selling embroidery had already been spent.

Ye Qingqing didn't dare to continue shopping and quickly took Tang Xiaojing back.

If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to keep the money he earned from selling his prey.

Today Tang Xiaojing was also an eye-opener. He usually bought rouge, gouache and fabrics for clothes for Ye Qingqing, spending at most a few hundred coins.

Tangshan often said that he was extravagant. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingqing spent 16 taels of money today just to buy things for embroidery.

You can make a lot of money by doing embroidery, but the cost is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In fact, the embroidery workshop can also provide materials and embroidery samples, so you don’t have to pay the cost, but the money you get is very little, and there are time requirements.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing have always bought things and made embroidery by themselves. Although the risks are high, they also earn a lot of money.

Tang Xiaojing was a layman, and he couldn't see any difference in the pile of embroidery threads picked by Ye Qingqing, let alone the set of embroidery needles, which looked the same.

However, Tang Xiaojing didn't dare to say anything, and kept carrying various things. He came here to do hard work today.

Ye Qingqing hadn't gone shopping for a long time, and couldn't hold it back for a while, so she bought a lot of things today. After returning home, the two spent a lot of time cleaning up.

After packing the things, Ye Qingqing sent a roast duck and two cow bones to the Ye family, along with Tang Xiaojing who was carrying a cloth.

When the two entered the door, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu were choosing vegetables, and Mrs. Ye was playing with Xiao Qi.

Mrs. Ye saw Tang Xiaojing coming over with two sacks and asked curiously: "What's in these sacks?"

"These two bags are made of cloth. I still have one bag at home."

Tang Xiaojing put the sacks in the hall and went back to carry the remaining sacks.

Mother Ye looked at Ye Qingqing, "Why did you bring so many cloth heads here?"

"I went to the county to sell embroidery today, and I stopped by Yangjia Cloth Store to buy things for embroidery. I think the fabrics in the shop are quite good. They are all bright and good-looking fabrics."

"It's perfect for making headbands and hair ties, so I bought it back."

"In addition, I also brought roast duck and beef bones." Ye Qingqing smiled and gave the basket containing the roast duck to Ye Mu.

"You silly kid, you're already married, don't take everything to your parents' house." Mother Ye took the basket, feeling happy and worried at the same time.

Ye Qingqing was not convinced. Even if she got married, she would still be from the Ye family.

"I got married, and you all gave me hens, eggs, and fish. Besides, my husband is not a stingy person. I asked him specifically before I bought it."

Mother Ye looked at the things Ye Qingqing sent over and knew that this girl must have spent a lot of money today, so she couldn't help but say:

"You said you should be more frugal last time. Didn't you spend a lot of money on a trip to the county?"

Ye Qingqing felt a little guilty, "I bought everything I needed, and I didn't spend any money randomly."

After a while, Tang Xiaojing came over carrying the remaining cloth.

Mrs. Ye just took a look at the fabrics, and they were indeed of good quality. Although it is not big, the color is very beautiful.

"Qingqing, how much did these cloths cost?" Mrs. Ye asked specifically in front of Tang Xiaojing.

"A sack costs 60 cents, and a sack costs 3 cents, a total of 189 cents." Ye Qingqing smiled and stretched out his hand towards Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye gave Ye Qingqing a piece of silver worth 2 cents, "Little money fan, I'll give you the extra 11 cents as a reward."

Ye Qingqing laughed and bowed to Mrs. Ye, "Thank you, old money fan, for the reward."

Mrs. Ye slapped Ye Qingqing's little buttocks and scolded with a smile: "I think your skin is itchy."

"Milk, I've grown up." Ye Qingqing covered her butt and hid behind Tang Xiaojing.

"You have grown up, but you are still childish when you get married." Old Mrs. Ye said with a hearty smile.

"Qingqing, there are a lot of loofahs in the small vegetable garden at home. Let's take some back to eat later."

As he said this, Wang Chunyu brought three tender green loofahs to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing came out from behind Tang Xiaojing and said cheerfully:

"Thank you sister-in-law, I just happened to go back to make some loofah and egg soup."

Ye Qingqing really spent too much money today. When he got home, he couldn't wait to pick up the account book and start keeping accounts.
