The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye set up a stall on North Street very smoothly in the afternoon and came back earlier than Ye Donglin.

After returning home, Ye's father immediately counted the money.

There was not much money, so Father Ye quickly counted it all. The braised pork shop made a total of 63 Wen in the morning.

In the afternoon, I set up a stall on North Street. Although I didn't sell many things, the prices were higher. I made a total of 86 Wen.

In total, Father Ye made a total of 149 Wen today.

"Not bad, not bad. If every day can be like today, I will have 4 taels of silver in a month."

Looking at the small pile of copper plates on the table, Father Ye finally laughed.

Ye Qingqing was lighting a fire for Ye's mother in the kitchen, and both of them heard Ye's father's hearty laughter in the kitchen.

Hearing Ye's father's laughter, Ye Qingqing also smiled on his face.

"Dad hasn't laughed like this for a long time. It seems that business at the stall on North Street today is very good."

Mother Ye also smiled, "Your father started out as a peddler and setting up a stall. I guess your father prefers being a peddler and setting up a stall on the street than maintaining a stable shop."

During this time, the business of the braised pork shop was getting worse and worse, and Ye's father was depressed all day long. Ye's mother sometimes wanted to persuade him to just go back to being a peddler.

There is a donkey cart at home, and it is not hard to drive the donkey cart to sell goods. On weekdays, he wanders around various villages. Father Ye probably feels a little more leisurely.

Ye Mu also supports setting up a stall on North Street, and the braised pork shop is not a solution.

Today's braised pork is all sold out, and there is finally no leftover braised pork on the table.

To be honest, Ye Qingqing has long since become tired of eating braised pork every day.

Father Ye was so confident that he planned to cook an extra roast duck and a roast chicken the next day, and also planned to braise a few more kilograms of ribs.

I thought that all kinds of cakes were selling well, especially the red date cake, which was sold out the fastest.

Father Ye asked Wang Chunyu to help him make more red date cakes and more water chestnut cakes. He planned to bring more things to North Street to set up a stall tomorrow.

After selling the bacon rice at noon, Ye's father packed up his things quickly, and then hurriedly brought half a car of things to North Street.

Father Ye was lucky, the spot where the stall was set up yesterday was still vacant.

I brought a lot more things today than yesterday. Father Ye specially brought a small, lightweight bamboo table.

Roast duck, roast chicken, braised pork and pastries, Father Ye took some of each and placed it on the table in front, while the rest was placed on the shaft of the donkey cart.

In addition to eating, Father Ye also deliberately dug out the small wooden frame he used to set up a stall last night. The frame was covered with colorful headbands and hairbands.

In addition to headbands and headbands, there were several dazzling gold handkerchiefs tucked into the rack.

These gold silk handkerchiefs were embroidered by Ye Qingqing after she became pregnant. Each one was made of Hangzhou's finest silk and embroidery thread, and a large amount of gold thread was used to embroider them together.

It looks much more delicate and beautiful than ordinary handkerchiefs.

Father Ye thought that since the stall fee had been paid anyway, it would be good to put more things on it to earn more money, so he also put up the handkerchiefs embroidered by Ye Qingqing.

There are more things on the stall, and more people come to look at it.

Most of the people who live in North Street have servants at home. These ladies and ladies spend their free time on weekdays and often go out shopping.

The colorful wooden shelves are very eye-catching, and the various foods on the stalls are also very tempting. People passing by can't help but take a second look.

The stall had just been set up for a while when two young girls came.

The taller girl has a charming temperament and looks like a girl from a wealthy family.

The girl selected on the shelf for a long time, and finally chose a pair of silk headbands. The headbands were plain in color and matched the girl's temperament very well.

The younger girl loves to laugh very much, and there are two sweet little pear dimples when she smiles.

The little girl picked two headbands for herself, one with colorful little balls on it, and the other with two small peach blossoms on it.

Then the two little girls looked at the gold silk handkerchief made by Ye Qingqing.

The gold silk handkerchiefs on the stall are very beautiful, but the price is not cheap, costing 170 yuan a piece.

The gold silk handkerchief embroidered by Ye Qingqing was sold to Lijia Embroidery Shop for 130 yuan a piece, while Lijia Embroidery Shop sold it for 200 yuan a piece.

The embroidery shop made all the money for the embroidery, and Ye Qingqing was actually a little dissatisfied.

North Street is full of wealthy people, and Ye Qingqing wants to increase the price of handkerchiefs, selling them for 170 Wen each.

The two stood in front of the shelf and looked at it for a long time, then touched their dry and flat pockets, and finally gave up reluctantly.

The two of them turned back three times as they left, reluctantly looking at the gold silk handkerchief made by Ye Qingqing.

After the two little girls left, Father Ye waited for a long time, and then a charming young man came to the stall.

The man was wearing clothes made of fine cotton fabric, with a jade ring on his hand and a jade pendant around his waist. He looked about the same size as Ye Xilin.

In Ye's father's opinion, this man has the words "rich and rich" written all over him, and he looks like someone who loves to spend money.

Father Ye was very enthusiastic, "Sir, I don't know what you want to see. The stall has braised pork, pastries, roast duck, roast chicken, hair ties, headbands, and handkerchiefs."

"Bring me a roast duck."

This young man is actually the son of the round-faced woman who bought the roast duck yesterday. I ate roast duck yesterday and thought it was pretty good. I came here to buy it again today.

"okay!"

Father Ye packed the roast duck in oil paper bags in a few seconds.

After the roast duck was packed, Father Ye did not rush to collect the money, but wiped his hands on his body, and then picked up two of the most expensive gold silk handkerchiefs on the stall.

"Master, would you like to take another look at the handkerchief? This is a gold silk handkerchief brought back from the county. The silk, embroidery thread and gold thread on it were all shipped from Hangzhou."

"All women love beauty. Whether it is a gift for the mother or sister at home, or a sweetheart, it is perfect."

The young man originally thought about the good things that the roadside stalls had, but he didn't expect that he really fell in love with the handkerchief in Father Ye's hand after just one glance.

The man took a closer look at the two handkerchiefs. They were indeed fine white silk and embroidery thread. The quality of the gold thread on them was also very good, and even the embroidery skills were very good.

"How much does this handkerchief cost?"

When Father Ye opened his mouth, he praised loudly, "These handkerchiefs are made of fine materials. The cost is very high, and they are purchased from the county. They cost 170 yuan each."

Ye's father looked at the man's dress and thought he was a playboy. Unexpectedly, he bargained with Ye's father for the price when he opened his mouth.

"Let's take two for 300 yuan. If it works, I'll take two. If it doesn't work, forget it."

"300 yuan is really not enough. There is a lot of gold thread used in it, and the cost is much higher than ordinary handkerchiefs." He cut off 40 yuan at the beginning, and Father Ye was naturally unwilling.

The young man put down the money for the roast duck and turned to leave.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Father Ye quickly stopped him. The man just pretended and came back half-heartedly.

Father Ye met his rival and bargained with the rich man for a long time, and finally sold two gold silk handkerchiefs for 310 cents.

Ye Qingqing's embroidery shop paid 130 ren for each of these handkerchiefs. Father Ye now sells them for 155 ren, which is a full 25 ren for a handkerchief.

Ye's father had already discussed it with Ye Qingqing yesterday. The two of them would share the extra money from the embroidery workshop equally.

That is to say, from these two handkerchiefs, Ye's father made a net profit of 25 cents.
