The happy little days of the Ye family

When the sky was still gray, Father Ye yawned and pushed open the door. After taking a few steps, his foot suddenly seemed to hit something.

Immediately afterwards, a sound of milk purring was heard:

"It hurts, it hurts, grandpa, why don't you look at the road?"

Father Ye lowered his head and saw that Xiao Qi was rubbing his little forehead pitifully.

This little boy was no taller than his own thigh, so Father Ye really didn't see him.

"I broke my head. I need two Tangtang to heal it." Xiaoqi covered her forehead and pretended to complain about the pain.

Ye Xilin had played this trick countless times when he was a child. Father Ye could tell at a glance that this little guy just wanted to trick him into eating candy.

"Does it hurt? Let grandpa see?"

Although Father Ye had long seen his grandson's tricks, he still carefully checked whether the little guy was injured.

I saw that Xiao Qi's forehead was very smooth, not even a red mark.

Father Ye flicked the little guy's forehead angrily, "You little bastard, you learned to blackmail people at a young age."

"Hehe, just a little joke." Xiaoqi covered her forehead and started to act coquettishly with a smile.

The little guy is smart. Knowing that Father Ye loves him, he will definitely not be willing to beat him.

It would be best if I could get some candy, but if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a little joke anyway.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and Father Ye is planning to go to West Street in the county to buy goods today, and bring back some things for the occasion to sell.

While eating breakfast, Father Ye mentioned that he would go to the county to purchase goods today.

When Xiao Qi heard that he was going to the county, his little hand holding the side dishes paused and his eyes wandered twice.

But the little guy didn't say much and continued to eat breakfast without showing any signs of it.

Just after breakfast, Ye Donglin hurried out the door, and Wang Chunyu was also cooking roast duck and chicken in the backyard.

Xiao Qi took the opportunity to hug Father Ye's thigh, "Grandpa, I also want to go to the county. I haven't been there yet. Please take me with you."

Father Ye shook his head, "Grandpa has important things to do today and doesn't have time to play with you. Wait until next time. I will take you to the county to play when I have time next time."

Father Ye went to the county to purchase goods, and it was not convenient for him to take the little one with him, so he had to refuse cruelly.

Father Ye talks about next time, but Xiao Qi knows in his heart that this next time is probably far away.

The little guy didn't cry or fuss, he just looked at Father Ye obediently:

"Grandpa is going to the county to purchase goods. Xiaoqi is obedient and won't cause any trouble. Can you bring back some delicious candies?"

The little guy blinked his big eyes with anticipation on his face.

Father Ye rubbed his eldest grandson's little head and said, "You greedy little cat, you are waiting here."

"Okay, Xiao Qi wants Tangtang." Xiao Qi took Father Ye's hand and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy you some delicious candies. I really can't do anything to you." Father Ye looked doting and kind.

Ye Xilin, who was passing by, felt sour in his heart when he saw the loving look on his father's face.

This bad old man has two faces.

He was not so easy to talk to before. If he acted like a spoiled child and asked to buy candy, he would probably be beaten.

Now he looks good-tempered towards his grandson.

Ye Xilin glanced at Xiao Qi, who was still having fun. After buying the candy, he had to trick the little guy into getting the candy.

It will soon be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are many people going to the county to sell and buy things. When Ye's father entered the city, he had to wait in line for a long time.

While waiting in line, Father Ye noticed that there were many small vendors gathered at the county gate not far away, and it was very busy at this time.

After entering the city, Father Ye did not rush to West Street, but started shopping among these small vendors.

At this time, there were already people selling mooncakes on the street.

Father Ye walked to the stall with the most people in the family and carefully observed the mooncakes sold at the stall.

There are 4 flavors, bean paste filling, lotus paste filling, salted egg yolk filling and five kernel filling. I don't know how it tastes yet, but it smells quite fragrant.

The mooncakes are not big, smaller than his fist, but the price is not low.

The price of the four kinds of mooncakes is the same, 4 cents each.

Then, Father Ye went to another stall. The mooncakes sold there had the same fillings, but they were larger. One mooncake cost seven cents.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and there are quite a few people buying mooncakes. Father Ye also saw a housekeeper from a wealthy family buying dozens of mooncakes at once.

Both the wife and daughter-in-law at home can make mooncakes. Father Ye was carefully looking at these stalls just now. In fact, he was planning to start selling mooncakes when he went back.

People on North Street have money, so the prices can be the same as those in the county. But the prices at grocery stores are a little lower.

In addition to mooncakes, Father Ye also saw people selling grapefruit on the street.

This grapefruit is round and big, resembling the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the past two years, people in the county like to put this grapefruit on display when they admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Father Ye stepped forward and inquired. The grapefruits were shipped from the neighboring county and cost 8 cents per pound.

Pomelos are quite heavy in your hand, one weighs about three kilograms.

Each one costs 20 yuan, which is more expensive than meat. Therefore, although many people look at it, not many people actually pay for it.

The price of grapefruit was relatively expensive, so Father Ye did not take it back to the town to sell it for fear of losing it in his hands.

In the end, Father Ye spent 42 Wen and bought two big grapefruits.

One is eaten by myself when admiring the moon, and the other is prepared for my daughter.

Passing through the stalls, Father Ye went straight to West Street, which specializes in wholesale business.

Thinking that there was not much rouge and gouache on the stall, Father Ye entered a shop that specialized in women's business.

Father Ye has been doing business for several years and is considered an old acquaintance of the shop. The boss greeted him warmly when he saw him.

Father Ye picked it up in the shop with familiarity.

Hand grease, face grease, hair oil, laundry soap, face soap, rouge, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, whatever is available in the shop, Ye’s father wants it.

Father Ye asked for 10 pieces of each item that sold well on weekdays, and 4 pieces of each item for those items that did not sell well.

And each item is divided into two grades.

If the price is high and the quality is good, keep it and sell it at the stall on North Street. Those that are cheap and affordable are sold in the villages below.

The boss saw that everyone was an acquaintance and Father Ye wanted a lot of things, so he gave him a 10% discount on the wholesale price.

Then Father Ye went to a candy shop and ordered 4 pounds of maltose, 4 pounds of maltose and 5 pounds of brown sugar.

Then I picked up some cheap needlework and miscellaneous things.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, lanterns of various shapes are naturally indispensable.

Father Ye plans to go to North Street to set up a stall in the morning and sell goods in the village below in the afternoon.

Except for a few of the lanterns that Father Ye took that were relatively well-made, the rest were basically cheap and affordable ordinary lanterns.

The workmanship of these lanterns is ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about them. However, they are cheap and come in various styles.

People in rural areas are not rich, and their requirements are not that high. Just being able to play is enough.

Father Ye picked and picked on West Street for a long time, and finally bought half a cart of things, spending a total of five taels of silver.
