The happy little days of the Ye family

The Liu family's pastry shop opened today, attracting many people from nearby to join in the fun.

However, because the price is much more expensive than the pastries at Ye Donglin's place, the actual business of the shop is very average.

And after a comparison, everyone likes Ye Donglin's pastries more. Although it is not as exquisite and beautiful, it is cheap.

Anyway, the prices are about the same, and ordinary people are not that particular.

Not only was Ye Donglin's business not taken away, it was also slightly better than usual.

After coming out of Liu's shop, many people would come to the grocery store to buy one or two pastries and share them.

When the Liang brothers came to copy the books, more than half of the pastries in the shop had been sold.

The remaining pastries, Ye Donglin thought, might not be enough to eat when the boys from the academy come over.

Liang Youwei and Liang Youcai, who were familiar with each other, took the book given by Ye Donglin and went to the small room in the back to copy the book.

Knowing that classes were over in the academy, Ye Donglin did not continue copying books and was in a good mood waiting for the boys from the academy to come over.

But slowly, Ye Donglin couldn't laugh anymore.

He waited for a long time before two teenagers came to the shop to buy rice paper. By the way, each of them asked for a piece of the new pumpkin cake.

After the two left, Ye Donglin stretched his neck and looked outside. After looking for a long time, he didn't see any familiar figures.

"Did all these boys go to Liu's pastry shop?" Ye Donglin looked worried at the remaining pastries on the shelf.

He was originally worried that these pastries would not be enough to eat, but he did not expect that no one would come and these pastries would not be sold.

But Ye Donglin can also understand that these boys are at the age where they like to join in the fun.

If it were him, he would also go to the newly opened shop to join in the fun.

Ye Donglin waited in the shop until his neck grew long before a group of boys who had eaten and drank enough came over.

These people usually buy pastries first, but now they jumped over the shelf with pastries and picked up books directly from the bookshelf.

Needless to say, Ye Donglin also knew that these boys must have come from Liu's shop.

Therefore, Ye Donglin did not promote the new pastries in the shop to them as usual.

Instead, he took two pieces of the newly launched pumpkin cake with a friendly look on his face and broke them into small pieces for them to eat.

"This is the new pumpkin hair cake. Let's try it. How does it taste?"

These young boys are regular customers of the grocery store. Ye Donglin usually has leftover pastries and occasionally treats them to them.

These people were not polite and ate with gusto.

I guess I was a little embarrassed. After eating the pastries, two people with big appetites spent money to buy pumpkin hair cakes.

There is also a young man from a well-off family who also packed crystal pear blossom cake, crystal osmanthus cake and pumpkin hair cake, hoping to go back and give them to his family to try.

Some of the pastries on the shelf were sold, but there were still a few left, which Ye Donglin planned to give to the Liang brothers later.

It can't be sold anyway, so it's not bad to use it as a favor.

Xiaoqi will definitely want to study in the future, and the brothers may be able to help in the future.

The sun, which was still high in the sky, slowly slid down. When it reached halfway up the mountain, the young boys in the grocery store also went back one after another.

Only two people in the group rented books, and one person, who was not short of money, directly bought a storybook and a travelogue.

However, not all people who read books are willing to spend money to buy or rent books. Many of them come here to read.

These people generally just don’t want to buy.

Ye Donglin is not annoyed by the people who come over to read. Anyway, they all come into the shop and buy something more or less.

Even if you don't spend money today, you might be able to buy something in the store in two days.

Doing business is about being friendly and making money, and Ye Donglin never chases customers away.

After everyone left, Ye Donglin saw that there was one crystal osmanthus cake, two rice cakes and two mung bean cakes on the shelf.

Ye Donglin was actually a little hungry, but he finally held back and took an oil paper bag and packed them all.

He did not take it directly to Brother Liang, intending to give it to them later when the settlement was settled.

Except for the Liang brothers in the small room, there was no one else in the grocery store at this time. Ye Donglin simply counted the money at the counter.

"1 article, 2 articles, 3 articles...1256 articles."

Looking at the 1256 articles in his hand, which was more than 200 articles less than yesterday, Ye Donglin couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, business was good at first, but now a new pastry shop has come to compete for business. Alas, life is difficult."

When Ye Donglin sighed, Ye's father was merciless in collecting money in the downstream village.

Fujia Village and Youxia Village are on the outskirts of the town, and the two villages are very close to the town.

There are fewer people on North Street in the afternoon. Father Ye will close his stall in advance every few days, and then go to Fujia Village or Youxia Village to sell goods.

When Father Ye went out in the morning, he mentioned it to Ye Donglin that he would close the stall in advance today and go to the downstream village to sell goods, leaving Ye Donglin to go back by himself.

As soon as he entered the downstream village, Father Ye was surrounded by the children in the village.

Father Ye looked at these little black babies and happily took out the sugar bowl.

As soon as the candy on hand was sold out, many older girls and younger wives came to the village.

These people were not short of money, and they bought a lot of beautiful fabrics and various rouges and gouache with Father Ye.

These things are not cheap, and Father Ye is simply merciless in collecting money.

Although the downstream village is relatively close to the town, no matter how close it is, it is not as good as having it delivered directly to Ye’s doorstep.

Father Ye thought about going to other villages to sell goods in two days. He used the things on the stall to exchange for another batch of dried fish in the downstream village.

It's so hot in the summer that the meat can't be stored at all, and fresh meat will become smelly after being stored for two or three days.

Dried fish and bacon are best eaten during the summer harvest.

Father Ye plans to take these dried fish and farm tools to other villages to sell them in two days.

In addition to dried fish, Father Ye also collected some embroidery items.

Although the father and son did not come back together, they arrived home together.

Xiao Qi had just cheated a piece of candy from Ye's father. Before he finished eating, Ye Donglin came in with a donkey cart.

The little guy knew that Ye Donglin had candy in his hand. When he saw that he was back, he ran over and acted cute.

"Dad~, you're back~, are you tired? Xiaoqi will give you a leg~"

Looking at the little bean beside his legs, Ye Donglin finally had a smile on his face.

"Xiao Qi is so good. Do you miss your dad?"

"Think about it~, Xiaoqi misses daddy~"

It was quite tiring to bend down and talk, so Ye Donglin picked up the little guy.

After picking him up, he deliberately swung his arms and threw the little guy up twice.

"Hahaha~, it's fun~, daddy, come again~"

Listening to Xiao Qi's laughter, Ye Donglin also laughed happily.

"Does Xiao Qi miss her dad, or the candy in her pocket?"

"I miss daddy, Xiaoqi doesn't want to eat sweets."

Ye Donglin exposed it yesterday, and today the little guy deliberately changed his story.

Ye Donglin deliberately teased him, "Xiao Qi doesn't want to eat candy. I originally wanted to reward you with a piece of candy, so forget it. I'll eat it myself."

As he spoke, he actually took a piece of candy out of his pocket.

Ye Donglin deliberately waved the candy in front of the little guy, pretending to eat the candy coquettishly.

Seeing that Tangtang was about to be eaten, the little guy stretched out his hands to grab it anxiously.

"Xiaoqi also wants to eat sweets~"

"I want to eat candy, but I won't give it to you."

Ye Donglin teased Xiao Qi with the candy for a while.

Seeing that the little guy was about to cry, he quickly stuffed the candy into his mouth.

It really made him cry, his parents would not let him go.

The little guy, who was still reluctant to cry at first, immediately became proud after eating the candy.

Seeing the provocative look in the little guy's eyes, Ye Donglin knew that he had been deceived, and stretched out his hand to scratch the little guy's creaking nest.

"You brat, look at how powerful I am."

"Hahahahaha..., Xiaoqi is wrong~, Dad, I am wrong, hahaha..."
