The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing suddenly remembered that there was an oven at home, and happily took a big bite of the pot helmet.

"After I buy this pot helmet, I put it in the oven and bake it for a while, and it will be the same as freshly baked."

After eating the pot helmets in his hand, Tang Xiaojing went back to the old man and bought 10 pieces of pot helmets filled with meat and vegetables.

Except for Xiaoqi who can't eat Guokui, there are exactly 10 people in the Tang family and the Ye family, and no one is left behind.

But Xiaoqi, if he knew that he was the only one who couldn't eat, he would probably cry.

When the old man saw that Tang Xiaojing bought too much, he happily gave him another one.

Back at his small stall, Tang Xiaojing quickly put the pot helmet on the bullock cart behind the stall. He was worried that he would eat it secretly if he held it again.

East Street is full of merchants from all over the country. Most of these people will stay here for several days after coming here.

First get rid of the goods in your hand, and then get another batch of goods before leaving.

These merchants were not in a hurry to go back. East Street was very busy all day long, and there were still many people even in the afternoon.

After lunch, there were slowly more people on the street.

Later, several people came to the stall to watch the wild geese, but most of them thought the price was too expensive.

After waiting for a long time, another young man came to the stall.

The young man was grinning happily. He looked like he was going to hire his sweetheart, but he didn't look very smart.

Compared to those shrewd old fritters, Tang Xiaojing prefers these generous young men.

The man was frequently distracted while watching the wild geese, and it took him a long time to select a pair of wild geese.

The job was about to be released soon. The man was so happy that he didn't even think of bargaining. He happily took out 6 taels and handed them to Tang Xiaojing.

"Sixty-six great fortunes, you don't have to change the remaining money."

After receiving the money, Tang Xiaojing heartily congratulated: "I wish you and your sweetheart to be united forever, to hold you together for three years, and to grow old together."

"You're right, this is a reward for you." The man happily threw another tael of silver to Tang Xiaojing.

The man mentioned the wild geese and smiled very honestly.

Tang Xiaojing felt that this man looked very much like Ye Xilin who went to hire him that day. He was so silly and could only smile.

But he probably forgot that at that time, he went to Ye's house every day to show off his lackluster behavior.

After selling the fourth pair of wild geese, no customers came to the stall for a long time.

All afternoon, Tang Xiaojing was chatting with the old man selling pots and pans next to him.

Tang Xiaojing learned that the old man's surname was Bai and that he was from Baijia Village. He and his wife Liang had two sons and two daughters.

Uncle Bai made his fortune selling pot helmets when he was young and saved some wealth. Now, of the two sons, one has opened a small restaurant in the town and the other has opened a cloth shop.

Although his sons all advised Uncle Bai to go home and enjoy the happiness, the old man couldn't take any time off and felt that setting up a stall selling pot helmets here would be much more enjoyable than enjoying the happiness at home.

The old man said with a smile: "When people get old, they are afraid of dragging down their children. Now that I can still do it, it would be good to save more money for my children."

When Tang Xiaojing and Uncle Bai were chatting until their lips went dry, a middle-aged couple came to the stall, followed closely by a young man.

The three of them looked very familiar. They were probably a family of three who came to buy something for hire.

The woman looked at the wild geese on the stall and nodded with satisfaction.

"The wild geese here are still looking good. The pair of wild geese just now were very sick. I don't know if they can be fed. Don't die halfway."

Then he looked at his son behind him. The young man also thought that Tang Xiaojing's pair of wild geese were good.

The silent middle-aged man on the side looked at Tang Xiaojing, "Brother, how did you sell this wild goose?"

"5 taels and 6 yuan a pair. This is the last pair. I'll give it to you at a cheaper price of 5 taels and 5 yuan."

The woman's eyes widened and she shouted dissatisfied:

"What? This wild goose actually costs 5 taels and 5 yuan? Your wild goose is made of gold, and the one in front only costs [-] taels of silver."

"Auntie, look at how well-raised our wild geese are. They are white and fat, and have a big head. They look so impressive when used as a betrothal."

Although the woman was quite satisfied with the wild goose, she felt that the price was still too expensive, so she pulled the two people beside her to leave.

Tang Xiaojing saw that there were fewer people on the street, and he didn't want to waste time, so he quickly called the three people back.

The woman didn't really want to leave. This was her usual bargaining technique. If you don't want to buy it and want to leave, the seller will definitely be anxious and the price can be easily reduced.

It was already a little late now, and Tang Xiaojing was really anxious and wanted to sell out and go home early, so he also made some concessions on the price.

After some haggling, the two finally sold the pair of wild geese for 5 taels and 2 yuan.

今天带过来的5对大雁，第一对是5两5钱卖出去的，后面两对都是5两6钱，第四对算上打赏是7两银子，最后一对是5两2钱，总共卖了28两9钱。

After the three people left, Tang Xiaojing murmured excitedly:

"These wild geese are so profitable, I think they are more profitable than raising rabbits and pigs. Since ducks, rabbits and pigs can be raised, should these wild geese be raised as well?"

Thinking that these wild geese could be sold for 5 taels and 5 yuan a pair, Tang Xiaojing felt very excited.

He planned to go back and catch a few more geese to try to see if they could be farmed.

"Ten pairs of wild geese are 50 taels, and 100 pairs are 500 taels of silver. If these wild geese can be bred in large quantities, we will make a fortune."

After selling the wild geese, Tang Xiaojing took the ox cart and planned to take a stroll on the East Street first.

While walking around, Tang Xiaojing saw the beef jerky that Ye Qingqing had bought before.

This beef jerky is spicy and delicious. The pound I bought before was eaten within a few days, and Ye Qingqing has never forgotten it.

Thinking that Ye Qingqing liked to eat this beef jerky, Tang Xiaojing generously ordered two kilograms.

Beef jerky costs 85 Wen per pound, and two pounds is 170 Wen. Normally Tang Xiaojing would not be willing to spend this money.

However, Tang Xiaojing made a huge profit of 28 taels and 9 yuan from selling wild geese today, and Tang Xiaojing was very proud.

After buying beef jerky, Tang Xiaojing continued shopping.

There were a dazzling array of things on the street, many of which he had never seen before. However, the Tang family lacked nothing, so Tang Xiaojing went directly to the largest silver building in Xiaohe Town.

Although Xiaohe Town is a small town, there are many merchants gathered here. Its prosperity is not comparable to that in the county, and all kinds of things are more complete.

The silver building here is very large, with all kinds of silver jewelry, gold jewelry and jade.

Tang Xiaojing couldn't understand the jade, and it was easily damaged, so it was not in his consideration range at all.

He wanted to buy gold jewelry, but the more than 20 taels he had on hand were simply not enough.

Tang Xiaojing, led by the waiter, went to the counter where the silver jewelry was placed. She picked out a pair of silver earrings and a silver hairpin for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing usually makes embroidery, and the patterns on the silver bracelets can easily scratch the silk, so he didn't ask for the bracelets.

After shopping, Tang Xiaojing took a bundle of fodder from the ox cart and fed the big ox before following the ox cart home.

Xiaohe Town is too far away. If you don't feed it in advance, it will definitely lose its temper halfway.

When we were hauling bean dregs before, these big guys often lost their temper on the road and were unwilling to leave.

Although Tang Xiaojing hurriedly hurried, it was already dark when he got home, and the whole family was waiting for him to eat.
