The happy little days of the Ye family

It was still raining lightly the next day and the fog was particularly heavy.

Although the big rooster at home has begun to crow, the sky is still gray.

Everyone in the Ye family is used to getting up early, and they got up early as usual. When you open the door, you can still see smoke rising from the kitchens of other people in the village who also got up early.

Except for Xiao Qi who was still sleeping, the rest of the Ye family got up almost at the same time.

Old Mrs. Ye was making breakfast for the big guys in the kitchen, while Ye Xilin was making breakfast for the pigs at home in the yard.

The south is rainy, with misty rain often occurring in spring and heavy rains often occurring in summer.

Mr. Ye and Ye Xilin specially built a large shed above the stove in the yard so that they could cook pig food even if it rained.

No matter what the weather, the pigs at home will not go hungry.

There is no need to water the vegetable garden on rainy days. Mr. Ye and Ye Donglin wear coir raincoats and pick vegetables together in the small vegetable garden.

This is the time to eat beans, eggplants, loofah and leeks, as well as the big round winter melon.

The two of them picked some of each vegetable, and Ye Donglin also picked two large winter melons.

When the grandfather and grandson brought various vegetables to the backyard to clean, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu happened to be marinating roast duck and chicken.

Father Ye was killing ducks and rabbits on the side, preparing to make spicy duck products.

There is also a pot of duck wings and chicken wings at Ye's feet. The ingredients for making spicy duck are all chopped from the ducks and chickens that Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu pickled.

Ye Donglin looked at Father Ye who was plucking the duck's feathers, "Dad, you cut off all the scraps such as duck wings and duck feet. Will the price of roast duck and chicken be cheaper?"

Most of the people who buy roast duck and chicken are women who come to buy vegetables. These women are the most shrewd, and they will have an opinion if a duck butt is missing or a chicken butt is missing.

If the price remained the same but delicious leftovers like duck wings were missing, those aunts would probably be in a big fight.

Father Ye indeed forgot about this matter, and discussed it with Ye Donglin again:

"The upper part is missing its neck and wings, which are pretty much missing. The lower part is just missing its claws, which is not obvious."

"Originally, the price of roast duck and chicken was 15 cents. Now it has been changed to 12 cents for the upper part and 15 cents for the bottom part. What do you think?"

Ye Donglin thinks that the lower part is still 15 articles, and people who buy the lower part may have opinions.

However, if we take 14 cents as an example, it is equivalent to the cost of a spicy duck foot at least 1 cent, so their family can't make any money.

Ye Donglin didn't think of a better way, so he had to say, "Let's try it first."

Mrs. Ye made breakfast, and everyone else was pretty busy.

As for the pig waste and pig heads, Father Ye gave Butcher Zhang an extra ten cents and asked Butcher Zhang's wife and daughter to help clean up these things before bringing them over.

In this way, Father Ye can save time to make spicy duck products.

When Ye Donglin came to the grocery store with food, vegetables and Ye Qingqing's miscellaneous books, the surrounding fog began to dissipate.

The first thing Ye Donglin did when he came to the grocery store was to put up the notice he wrote yesterday.

The first one was posted directly on the wall between the grocery store and the braised meat shop, so that no matter which shop the customers were in, they could see the big red notice at a glance.

The other one is posted on the most conspicuous place on the counter to ensure that every customer who comes into the grocery store can see it.

Ye Donglin left an empty row on the first shelf, and then placed all the miscellaneous books he brought over on it.

After cleaning up, he quickly arranged the vegetables he brought and poured the grain into the large vat.

On a rainy day, the sky outside is gray, and the surrounding residents wake up a little later.

Ye Donglin organized everything before people started coming to buy groceries.

The road was wet, and these women didn't want to go out to buy vegetables every day. They just bought more durable vegetables and dry goods.

Ye Donglin had just sold half of his vegetables when his father came to the grocery store with steaming roast duck and chicken.

One father and son sell vegetables, the other sells roast duck and chicken, and they can also promote each other.

By the time Ye Donglin's vegetables were almost sold out, Ye's father had also sold most of his roast duck and chicken.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the grocery store, Father Ye went back to the braised pork shop to make braised pork.

There are three pots of braised pork in the kitchen, one is the commonly made original braised pork, the other is spicy braised pork, and the other is braised vegetables and eggs.

As soon as Ye's father returned to the braised meat shop, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing came over.

As soon as Ye Qingqing arrived at the door of the shop, he saw the conspicuous notice on the wall and expressed his satisfaction.

Many leaves and other debris from the vegetables sold in the morning fell to the ground, making them look messy.

When Ye Qingqing came into the grocery store, Ye Donglin was cleaning hard.

Ye Qingqing looked at the vegetable area that had been evacuated, and patted Ye Donglin on the shoulder with a smile.

"Brother, your vegetable business is pretty good. They're all sold out so quickly."

Ye Donglin turned his head and joked: "What time of the day is it? If you come later, those women will start making lunch."

Ye Qingqing, who had just had breakfast, walked to the bookshelf with miscellaneous books with Tang Xiaojing with a guilty look on his face.

"Brother, is there anyone who can rent these books of mine?"

Ye Donglin flicked Ye Qingqing's forehead and said angrily:

"The students from the academy are all studying in the academy now, so they don't have time to come here. At least they won't come here until after class in the afternoon."

Ye Qingqing really didn't expect this, and whispered to Tang Xiaojing at the side:

"I knew I would have come over in the afternoon."

Tang Xiaojing on the side was really bored in the grocery store, so he suggested: "Dad is making braised pork next door, and there is nothing to do. Let's go over and help dad."

Seeing that the grocery store was deserted, Ye Qingqing stopped being in the way and took Tang Xiaojing to run over to light a fire for Ye's father and help make braised pork.

The spicy braised meat tastes more overbearing than the original braised pork. After the braised soup is boiled, the spicy and fragrant meat flavor quickly spreads throughout several nearby alleys.

Many people don't have a good appetite on rainy days. The smell of spicy braised pork makes many people greedy and have a great appetite.

Although the braised pork made by Yan Dafu is delicious, it will make you tired if you eat too much. Father Ye's spicy braised pork is just a change of taste.

Ye's spicy braised pork is really delicious. Before dinner time, people living nearby came to buy the braised pork.

Tang Xiaojing helped cut the meat at the counter, Ye Qingqing was responsible for packing, and Father Ye was responsible for weighing and collecting money. The three of them cooperated quite well.

Although the original braised pork still does not sell well, the spicy braised pork sells very well.

Especially the spicy duck products, half of them were sold before lunch time.

During lunch, Father Ye's butcher shop was busier than usual. In addition to those who came for lunch, there were also many people who came to buy spicy duck products and pastries.

Ye's father's braised pork shop was doing very well, but Ye Qingqing's miscellaneous book rental was still uninterested and it still hadn't opened in the afternoon.

Ye Qingqing thought it was the grocery store's problem. There were too few people coming to the grocery store.

Except for the women who came to buy vegetables, there were only a few people who came to buy cakes and groceries. Ye Qingqing did not see any students from the academy coming.

Ye Qingqing could only sigh, there was no one around, how could anyone rent books.
