The happy little days of the Ye family

Just halfway through dinner, Ye Donglin came over happily to give money.

Ye Donglin often came to the Tang family to look for Ye Qingqing. The dogs were not aggressive when they saw him coming, and they wagged their tails at him perfunctorily.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing had just eaten, Ye Donglin frowned and said, "It's completely dark, why are you eating now?"

The Ye family had already eaten, and they had even taken stock of the profits from the roast chicken.

"Chenchen, can you take care of me? If you're too busy, just say something. My house is just next door."

Ye Donglin feels that everything in the Tang family is good, but there are too few people, so they have to rely on themselves for everything.

Seeing the worry on his eldest brother's face, Ye Qingqing quickly explained:

"Chenchen is very good. The leather I made some time ago is ready. I have been digging and washing the leather for a long time. Brother, why are you here at this time?"

Ye Donglin shook the purse in his hand happily and said, "Come over and give you some money?"

"I was so busy that I forgot about it."

Ye Qingqing grabbed the purse and weighed it happily in his hands. It was quite heavy.

"It looks like this lotus leaf roast chicken is selling well!"

Ye Donglin smiled and said proudly:

"I got some for everyone to try. The five lotus leaf roast chickens I brought over were sold out in one morning."

"Everyone has long been tired of the previous roast chicken. Now that there are new flavors, everyone is more willing to try it."

Ye Qing no longer cared about eating at this time. He opened his wallet and counted the money with a crooked look.

Tang Xiaojing was very discerning and quickly brought a stool to his uncle.

After Ye Donglin sat down, he looked at Ye Qingqing who was counting the coins with a smile, and rubbed Dahuang's big furry head with his hands.

Dahuang was crazy and started playing with Ye Donglin very enthusiastically.

After a while, Ye Qingqing raised his head and looked at Ye Donglin happily playing with Dahuang.

"A total of 28 Wen, is that a lot? How many lotus leaf roast chickens were sold today?"

Even though he only had 20 pennies, if he accumulated a little, he would have several hundred pennies in a month, which was enough to cover the family's expenses for a month.

Ye Donglin said proudly: "I made a total of 12 lotus leaf roast chickens today. I took 5 to the grocery store, and dad took 7 to North Street. All of them were sold out."

"The price of lotus leaf roasted chicken is the same as the original roasted chicken. The grocery store sells it for 60 Wen per piece, and North Street sells it for 65 Wen per piece."

"Here at the grocery store, a roast chicken has a profit of 20 cents. A little higher on North Street, there is a profit of 25 cents. The total profit from both sides today is 275 cents. These 28 cents are your share."

"You don't need to send this money here every day. You can just send it here together with the money for renting used books in the future." Ye Qingqing put the money away in a good mood.

"I'm not stupid. I didn't plan on selling this roasted chicken with lotus leaves on the first day. I was afraid that you, a little money lover, would be impatient and come over here. From now on, I will definitely keep the accounts first and give you a share at the end of the month."

Ye Qingqing suggested: "Brother, this lotus leaf roast chicken is not difficult. Restaurants that know how to make roast chicken will probably be able to copy it in two days. I think you might as well make more tomorrow."

"While it is still an exclusive business, let's sell more. If we wait until other restaurants come out, the business will not be so good."

Ye Donglin nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Dad has asked Brother Daqiang, who helps kill chickens, to kill 15 chickens tomorrow."

When the father and son took stock of the profits just now, they had already agreed to add one lotus leaf roast chicken to the grocery store, and two more to the North Street side where business was better.

There aren't many people in the town, so no matter how many there are, it won't be sold.

Ye's lotus leaf roast chicken is very popular. It was sold out in one morning, and many people came to ask about it in the afternoon.

The Ye family's lotus leaf roast chicken sells well, and the Bai family and his son who own the restaurant have long noticed it.

In the afternoon, Bai Yaowen from Baijia Restaurant came over to buy roast chicken. Ye Donglin could tell at a glance that he came to inquire about the situation.

Fortunately, he arrived a step too late. The roast chicken had already been sold out, otherwise the Bai Family Restaurant would have had this dish within two days.

The father and son plan to take advantage of the fact that other restaurants don't have this dish yet, and they plan to increase their efforts in the past two days and cook more roast chickens.

Let's build our reputation first. Even if there are others who follow suit, at least their family will be the first to make this dish.

Seeing that his sister's family was still eating, Ye Donglin chatted for a few words and quickly went back.

Ye Qingqing was very interested in raising sheep at home and wanted to go to the county to have a look.

Chenchen has Aunt Chen to help watch over her, and she can also go to Wang's house to find Qingmei for milk, so Ye Qingqing is not worried at all.

When Tang Xiaojing got up the next day, Ye Qingqing rubbed his eyes and got up in a daze.

She was busy feeding her son and changing diapers in the early morning. As soon as she finished her work, Tang Xiaojing also made breakfast.

After Aunt Chen came over, Ye Qingqing kissed the little guy's chubby hand twice before reluctantly going out with Tang Xiaojing and his son.

When we went out, the sun had just come out and it felt a little cool. However, it got hotter and hotter as we walked on the road.

Halfway through, the sun in the sky was already very fierce.

Even sitting in the carriage, Ye Qingqing was still sweating profusely due to the heat, and felt that the wind blowing in was scalding.

It was not too early for the three of them to go out, and the road was long. It was already a little late when they arrived at the place where the animals were sold.

But despite this, it is still very lively here, and there are quite a lot of livestock of all kinds, including goats, cattle, donkeys, mules and horses.

It's just that the three of them arrived late, the good livestock had been bought long ago, and the rest looked not in good spirits, or they were too expensive.

The three of them walked around and found that only two houses in the entire livestock market had goats for sale.

After asking around, the prices are basically the same. A small goat costs about 130 yuan, and a milk-producing ewe costs 1 tael and 6 yuan.

Other adult goats are priced at 35 cents per pound.

No one in the village raised goats. Ye Qingqing's visit this time was an eye-opener and he learned a lot about goats.

It turns out that the reproductive capacity of goats is much stronger than that of cows and donkeys. They can generally give birth to three litters in two years, and each litter can give birth to about two lambs.

Tang Xiaojing fell in love with a young ewe that was just pregnant with a lamb. He wanted to buy it back as a breeding sheep.

However, the price was a bit expensive, costing 1 tael and 8 yuan, so Tang Xiaojing hesitated.

But in the end, Tangshan held him down and didn't let him buy it.

"Don't worry, let's see what your Uncle Li says first. Maybe it's cheaper there."

Ye Qingqing also said: "That's right, it's not too late to shop around and take a look before making a decision."

Tang Xiaojing was finally convinced. There was a stall fee at the livestock market and it took a lot of effort to transport it. The price was naturally not cheap.

It would probably be cheaper if you buy directly from people in the village.
