The happy little days of the Ye family

When the ox cart passed by the door of Ye's house, it happened to meet Ye Donglin who was returning from the grocery store.

Ye Qingqing was very happy to see Ye Donglin. She got off the oxcart and asked Ye Donglin about the three-day book rental business.

As soon as they entered the yard, Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to pull Ye Donglin and asked:

"Brother, how has the miscellaneous book rental business been in the past three days? How many books have been rented out?"

Ye Donglin smiled and said: "Business is still good. Including the 1 books on the first day, a total of 7 books were rented out in the past four days."

"Those who rented books on the first day, one person came over to rent them for the second time today, but the others haven't come over to return the books yet. I guess they are all reading in exchange of books with the people next to them."

Ye Qingqing didn't care about this at all, "It's okay. I rent it for only five days at a time. Even if I read it alternately, I won't be able to finish the second one. I won't have to come over to renew the lease later."

Ye Qingqing had already calculated the time. On weekdays, she read a storybook by herself. If she only read it occasionally, it would take seven or eight days to finish it. If she read it all day long, she would finish it in two or three days.

However, these teenagers still study in the academy on weekdays, and it takes four or five days to read a storybook.

The content of the travel notes is less, and it takes three days to read it.

As for Ye Qingqing's long and thick books, I probably have to renew my lease before I can read them all.

"Brother, just wait and see. There will definitely be many people coming to renew their lease in the next few days." Ye Qingqing smiled like a little fox.

Ye Donglin was not so optimistic. If he spent money to rent books, he would probably have to stay up late reading, finish reading his own rented book, and then change to another book.

However, Ye Qingqing was happy, and Ye Donglin didn't say anything disappointing, and then analyzed the rented books with Ye Qingqing.

"Of the 31 rented books, 13 are travel notes and 18 are story books. It seems that everyone still prefers to read more story books."

4天租出去了31本书，每天差不多能租出去8本，8本书的租金就是16文。

It was better than Ye Qingqing expected.

"If business is good in the first month, we will use the money we earn to buy another batch of used books, 6% of which will be story books and 4% of travel notes." Ye Qingqing said cheerfully.

The brother and sister made up their minds to buy a batch of miscellaneous books after receiving the first month's profit.

Just as Ye Qingqing was about to go home, his second cousin Wang Lin came over.

"Qingqing, that merchant from Hangzhou you mentioned before, I saw him setting up a stall today. I said hello to the merchant and said you would go see him tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"When I came back just now, I already went to the Crescent Moon. Li Yan will have a rest tomorrow, so he can go to the pier to have a look. It won't be convenient tomorrow."

The merchant had previously said that he would come to the pier to set up a stall in the next few days, and Ye Qingqing specifically asked his second cousin to help keep an eye on it.

"Okay, let's go to the dock tomorrow to take a look at the fabrics and needlework. My embroidery is also ready, and I can take it to Li's Embroidery Workshop tomorrow."

Ye Qingqing happily grabbed Ye Mu and went to the Wang family again to find Grandma Ye and her second aunt Li. The four of them agreed to go to the dock with Li Yan tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingqing drove the bullock cart to Ye's house. Grandma Ye and her second aunt were already sitting on the donkey cart waiting for Ye Qingqing.

As soon as Ye Qingqing came over, he heard the crow of chickens inside the donkey cart.

Wang Yueya was pregnant, so Li specially caught two hens to replenish her daughter's body. The donkey cart also contained Wang Yueya's favorite vegetables and cakes.

Immediately afterwards, a chicken crow sounded from the oxcart, and Ye Qingqing also brought a plump hen to replenish Wang Yueya's health.

Grandma Ye and her second aunt took their own donkey cart, and Mother Ye got on the ox cart driven by Ye Qingqing, and the four of them set off to Wang Yueya's house together.

Li Yan and Wang Yueya are in the town on weekdays. They can take a bullock cart back to the village for 2 cents. They have never bought a donkey cart.

When they arrived at Li's house, Li Yan and Wang Yueya had been waiting at home early.

As soon as he entered the door, a white, chubby little puppy jumped out and barked at Ye Qingqing and others.

Presuming that he recognized the scent of Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing, he shook his little tail behind him, walked to Ye Mu's feet with his short legs and rubbed them.

Ye Qingqing on the side was so cute by the little guy that he picked him up.

The little guy is Xueqiu's child, and he was brought to the Li family just half a month ago. The little guy, like Snowball, is all white and very beautiful.

At this time, the child in Wang Yueyue's belly had just turned three months old and could not be seen even though he was wearing loose clothes.

Seeing that his mother-in-law had brought a lot of things, Li Yan quickly went up to help move things.

Ye Qingqing grabbed the hen he brought over and locked it in the Li family's chicken pen with familiarity.

Mother Ye also brought two small clothes for the child in Wang Yueya's belly.

The few of them didn't stay much longer. After picking up Li Yan, the five of them set off to the dock together.

The Hangzhou merchant was a middle-aged man with a plump figure, a kind face, and a big smile.

Ye Qingqing recognized the merchant from a distance, and the group came to the stall.

The stalls are all made of high-quality silk, embroidery thread and embroidery needles from Hangzhou, with a small amount of ordinary fabrics and needlework on the side.

Ye Qingqing and others first looked at the things used for making embroidery.

Several of them are experienced embroiderers, and it can be seen at a glance that the things on this stall are indeed good, even better than those at Yangjia Cloth Shop.

And the price is indeed affordable, half a percent cheaper than that of Yangjia Cloth Store.

After a few people looked at it carefully, they didn't say anything and continued to look at the ordinary fabrics and needlework on the side.

The fabrics are all fine linen, coarse cotton and fine cotton. The fabrics are quite strong and well dyed.

It is better than the fabrics commonly sold in town, and is above average. As for other needlework, it is also above average.

If you purchase goods from a stall, you can only do business for wealthy people.

The second aunt whispered in Li Yan's ear: "The price is quite satisfactory. It's okay in the county, but it's not suitable to sell this fabric in the town."

Li Yan had the same view. People in Luohe Town probably couldn't afford such good fabrics.

The few of them did not rush to bargain, but returned to the second cousin's tea stall and sat down to discuss slowly.

Ye Qingqing thinks the things on the stall are pretty good, "The things here are really good, and the prices are cheap. I think I can buy more at one time."

Grandma Ye shook her head, "White silk and embroidery thread are very delicate things and can be easily damaged if not stored properly."

"And didn't the merchant say that he will come here basically every two months? We just buy the materials used to embroider a picture."

Naturally, Ye's mother and second aunt agreed with Grandma Ye's suggestion. The four of them agreed to get materials for embroidery pictures first.

In addition, Mrs. Li also wanted to choose a portion for Wang Yueya.

As for Li Yan, everyone thinks that the fabrics are okay to sell in the county, but not very suitable in the town.

In the town, the best seller is cheap and strong linen.
