The happy little days of the Ye family

The Tang family is busy selling grain, and the Ye family next door is not idle either.

On the second day after returning from the Hu family, Father Ye was busy going to the dock to sell various mountain products.

Father Ye also knew that the price of various mountain products was higher after the autumn harvest. It was actually more cost-effective to sell them at that time, but there was no room for them in the cellar at home.

There are two hills at home, and most of the hills are covered with bamboo forests.

Bamboo shoots grow very fast, and it rains frequently here, so the bamboo shoots pop up one after another.

After half a year, the cellar at home was filled with piles of dried bamboo shoots.

Moreover, there are various kinds of mushrooms on the mountain, and now the two cellars for storing dry goods are filled with all kinds of mountain products.

The various mountain goods that Ye's father had collected by himself were piled in the utility room at home.

In addition to various mountain products, Ye's father also accumulated a lot of bacon and skins.

Fortunately, all the honeysuckles were sold before the summer harvest, otherwise the house would not be able to store so many things.

Father Ye made up his mind that from now on, Ye Xilin would sell all the output from the rabbit shed and pig pen.

Father Ye was not joking when he said he wanted Ye Xilin to learn how to do business. This time he went to the dock to sell things, so he deliberately brought him with him.

There were too many things, and the donkeys were weak and couldn't carry much. The father and son borrowed two oxcarts from the Tang family to haul the goods.

Moreover, Father Ye also hired Ye Fugui, a solicitor, to help pull things to the dock.

Before dawn, the father and son and Ye Fugui set off from Ye's house in a bullock cart.

Naturally, there were all kinds of wild goods on the oxcart of Father Ye and Ye Fugui.

Ye Xilin's bullock cart was loaded with products from rabbit sheds and pig pens, including bacon, rabbits and rabbit fur coats.

Although both father and son brought overlapping things, Ye Xilin's father specially asked him to rent a stall by himself in order to train Ye Xilin.

The pier is relatively far from Taohua Village, and it was already a little late when the father and son arrived.

Fortunately, Father Ye made an agreement with Wang Lin the day before yesterday and asked him to help find someone to rent two stalls in advance yesterday.

This was the first time for his son to set up a stall on his own. Father Ye specifically told Wang Lin to rent two stalls that were not too far apart.

After arriving at the pier, Wang Lin enthusiastically took the two of them to find the stall that he had rented for them in advance yesterday.

Second cousin Wang Lin is still very reliable. The two stalls are in relatively conspicuous places, and there are three small stalls in between.

Neither too close, which would make his son rely too much on him, nor too far, which made Father Ye very satisfied.

When Wang Lin left, Father Ye stuffed him with a large piece of bacon and agreed to have dinner together at noon.

After Wang Lin left, the father and son began to clean up their stall silently.

叶父这边的东西很多，总共带了700斤的笋干、300斤的干蘑菇、200斤的腊兔子、100斤的腊鸡和200斤的腊猪肉。

There are also various fur coats, including rabbit fur coats, sheepskin coats, wolf fur coats, and deer skin coats, totaling more than 20 pieces.

These leather coats were placed in the most conspicuous place on the stall by Father Ye.

There was no way, the price of leather clothes was high, Father Ye spent a lot of money to buy these leathers, the cost was very high.

And Ye Xilin has a lot of things here, including 500 kilograms of cured pork, 300 kilograms of cured rabbits, and 9 rabbit fur coats.

These rabbit skins were saved from the rabbits he raised, and he specifically asked Ye Mu to help him make rabbit skin coats.

Among the 9 rabbit fur coats, 8 are gray and one is pure white.

This pure white rabbit fur coat was made from white rabbits that Ye Xilin had accumulated for a long time. It was very beautiful with its snow-white color.

If it wasn't too hot here to wear a rabbit fur coat, Ye Qingqing would still want to stay and wear it by herself.

Father Ye had set up a stall on the dock for two or three years before. He knew most of the people here, and many of the merchants who came and went were still in contact with him.

Moreover, he would come to the dock to sell dry goods and leather every year after the summer and autumn harvests. Most of the merchants on the dock knew about it.

Not long after the stall was set up, many familiar merchants came to Ye's father to reminisce about old times.

The items on Father Ye's stall are pretty good, and since everyone is an old acquaintance, the items sell out quickly.

In one morning, most of the items at the stall were sold, and during lunch only a few dried mushrooms and bacon rabbits were left.

Ye Xilin is not so lucky. Although his stuff is good, he has no connections.

Most of the merchants who needed these things knew Father Ye, and they all went to his father's stall.

The merchants who come to Ye Xilin's stall are all those whom Ye's father doesn't like, or they are new merchants.

One morning, Ye Xilin shouted until his voice was almost hoarse, and he only sold 100 kilograms of bacon and 50 kilograms of bacon rabbits.

As for the leather jackets, not a single one was sold.

During this period, someone proposed to barter with Ye Xilin. The man ran an official kiln and wanted to exchange a batch of first-class porcelain for his bacon.

Not to mention that porcelain is easily damaged, and the water is too deep, and he doesn't understand this, Ye Xilin didn't agree.

Porcelain is not something ordinary people like them can touch. He doesn't know who to sell it to when he takes it back.

And there is another problem. It takes two hours to go back from the pier. The road is full of potholes. It is estimated that all the porcelain will be damaged when we get back.

In fact, Ye's father had been silently paying attention to Ye Xilin's situation. Seeing him chatting with the porcelain merchant for a long time, his heart became anxious.

Twice, Ye's father wanted to go over and remind him. Fortunately, this boy was smart and didn't buy these flashy porcelains that were difficult to get rid of.

The pier was a little deserted in the afternoon, but not long after, two large ships arrived, carrying a lot of goods and merchants.

With the experience in the morning, Ye Xilin became much more handy in the afternoon. Not only did he sell all the leather clothes, he also sold half of the bacon.

For several days, the father and son went to the pier to set up stalls and sell things.

Ye Xilin was unfamiliar at the beginning, but later he was able to chat with the merchants.

Seeing that he was young, many merchants wanted to lower their prices, but he cleverly blocked them.

Father Ye originally wanted to train his son. During this period, he did not introduce any merchants to him, so he relied on himself to sell things.

The father and son set up a stall on the pier for six days, and slowly sold all the mountain of mountain and bacon at home.

During this period of time, Father Ye sold 5000 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots and 1000 kilograms of dried mushrooms from Gongzhong Mountain alone.

Dried bamboo shoots cost 13 yuan per catty, and dried mushrooms cost 23 yuan per catty. The total income was 88 taels of silver.

Father Ye earned a total of 60 taels of silver from the various mountain products and bacon he collected from other villages.

Among these incomes, the majority are still those leather clothes. Father Ye plans to collect more leathers in the second half of the year.

The two stalls are separate, and Ye's father doesn't know exactly how much Ye Xilin has earned.

But looking at the bacon and skins he brought over, you can probably guess that this kid's income should be sixty or seventy taels of silver.
