The happy little days of the Ye family

After coming out of West Street, Father Ye drove the donkey cart to Chenjia Cloth Village.

Shopkeeper Chen has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and his face and belly have become much rounder. It seems that the business of Cloth Shop is good.

"Boss Ye, I haven't seen you here for a long time. The shop sent a batch of thick fabrics for autumn clothes. They are all high-quality fabrics."

As soon as he saw Father Ye, shopkeeper Chen enthusiastically led him to the shelves.

It was just autumn at this time, and the cloth store had already put many thick fabrics on display, and the styles were all popular in the county recently.

Father Ye touched it and found that the quality of the fabric was indeed good. It felt very smooth and soft, and there were several colors that were not available before.

The thick fabrics worn in autumn and winter are placed in the most conspicuous place, while the thin fabrics worn in summer are placed in the corners.

After Father Ye saw it, he pretended not to care and said casually:

"Shopkeeper Chen, these fabrics are out of season now. They can't be sold anymore. When the weather gets cold, they won't be sold until next year. They will be backlogged for a long time."

Although it doesn't snow here in winter, it's still cool in autumn and winter. It's hard to sell these fabrics now.

Seeing that Father Ye wanted to buy it, shopkeeper Chen was very happy and deliberately lowered the price of these thin fabrics.

But shopkeeper Chen didn't say it stupidly, "The weather in the south is hot, and many people are still wearing cool summer clothes. These fabrics are very popular in towns and villages."

In fact, shopkeeper Chen said that it was the same as what Father Ye was thinking.

Although it's autumn now, it's a bit cold in the morning and evening. However, due to the intense work style, most of the farmers in the big villages were wearing summer clothes.

"Shopkeeper Chen, we are all old acquaintances. Don't be pretentious with me. Just tell me how to sell these fabrics."

"Boss Ye is really quick to talk, so I won't beat around the bush. The new thick fabrics will give you a 15% profit margin on the retail price, and the summer fabrics will give you a 20% profit margin."

Seeing that summer fabrics were cheap, Father Ye picked out a batch of breathable linen, three pieces each of fine linen and burlap.

Burlap is mostly worn when working. Father Ye wanted stain-resistant black, gray and tan.

For fine linen, the more beautiful colors are goose yellow, navy and blue.

Then I ordered some new bolts of thick cloth, including some fine linen and cheesecloth.

Thinking that there would be many people getting married at the end of the year, I ordered four more pieces of red cloth, two pieces each of fine linen and cheesecloth.

Then Father Ye took some silk cloth and needle and thread for embroidery.

Although these silk cloths and needlework are not as good as those that Ye Mu usually uses, the quality is not bad, and they are enough for making handkerchiefs and small embroidery pictures.

In the town, things that are too good are useless.

After picking out things, Father Ye discovered that there were still some beautiful autumn clothes hanging on the wall.

They are all made of coats, some for men and some for women, and the workmanship is quite good, and the tailoring is good, which shows that the people who make the clothes have put a lot of thought into them.

Father Ye asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Chen, have all the shops started selling ready-made clothes now?"

"My daughter made it for fun, but she didn't expect it to sell well." Shopkeeper Chen smiled, with a sense of pride and pride on his face.

"The little girl is really ingenious. It looks no worse than the clothes from a tailor shop."

"No, boss Ye's daughter is really good. I heard that the embroidery she makes costs dozens of taels of silver per piece."

"They all followed her mother."

The two of them went back and forth and complimented each other for a long time.

Shopkeeper Chen was in a good mood at this time and gave Father Ye several sacks of rags and some large pieces of cloth.

Mrs. Ye is currently busy raising a few little beans at home, but she doesn't want to give up the way of making money with hairbands.

The two women who used to help make hair accessories would come to Ye's house every afternoon to make headbands and headbands, except during busy farming periods.

These pieces of cloth come in handy and can also earn the old lady some pocket money.

Things in the cloth shop are not cheap, and Father Ye spent another sixty taels of silver in one go.

When we went back, the donkey cart was so packed that the wheels pressed against the ground, leaving several deep marks. The donkey pulling the cart walked much slower than usual.

Although Ye's father fed the donkey at home well before going back, the donkey still lost his temper halfway through.

The donkey cart stopped in the middle of the road, and the donkey pulling the cart refused to leave.

As soon as Father Ye got close, the stubborn donkey started to kick him and breathed at him through its big nostrils.

Father Ye knew he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to coax it with some good fodder with a flattering look on his face.

"There are a lot of things, so you have to work hard. I will feed you some good grass and bean dregs when I get back."

After the donkey had eaten and drank enough, and was comforted by Father Ye, it reluctantly pulled a cart of things back slowly.

When entering the village, the donkey was panting heavily, and its big tail swung impatiently behind it, almost hitting Father Ye's face several times.

Ye's father went out to purchase goods, while Ye's mother and Wang Chunyu were busy making mooncakes at home.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made three flavors of mooncakes, namely five-nut mooncakes, date paste and red bean mooncakes, and egg yolk mooncakes.

The mooncakes made by the two of them were made with enough ingredients, each one was about the size of a fist, and had the words "Happy Full Moon" printed on it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made a total of 360 mooncakes, 120 of each flavor.

After the mooncakes were ready, Mother Ye took two of each flavor. Thinking that her daughter liked the salted egg yolk in the mooncakes, she took two more mooncakes with egg yolks.

When Ye's mother came to Tang's house, Chenchen took his younger brother to play with Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Xiao Huang was lying on the ground, and Yangyang was lying behind Xiao Huang's butt, curiously stretching out his little hands to grab the big tail in front of him.

Xiao Huang probably didn't like being held by his big tail. The fluffy tail swung around flexibly behind him to prevent the little guy from catching it.

Yangyang refused to give up and flopped on the ground desperately. His chubby hands kept reaching up, trying to grab the big tail in front of him, but he couldn't.

One person and one dog have been playing for a while. Yangyang's clothes are dirty and the ground has been wiped clean.

Chenchen lay lazily on Da Huang's back, holding Da Huang's two big ears with her little hands and playing with them.

As soon as he saw Ye Mu, Chenchen immediately abandoned Rhubarb and ran over.

"Grandma, you're here! I miss you so much in the morning."

Mother Ye rubbed the little guy's soft hair and said with a cheerful smile:

"Chenchen is so good, grandma brought delicious mooncakes here." She said and handed the mooncakes in her hand to the little guy.

"Thank you, grandma. Chenchen likes grandma the most." The little guy smiled, and his mouth was as sweet as honey.

Yang Yang, who was on the ground, also raised his head and shouted excitedly after his brother:

"Brain...brain..."

"Oh, our Yangyang is so good."

Mother Ye picked up Yangyang who was on the ground, and held the bouncing Chenchen with her other hand, and the three of them entered the house together.

At this time, Ye Qingqing was doing embroidery. When he saw Ye Mu coming over, he quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand and said:

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Your sister-in-law and I made some mooncakes. There are only a few people in Tang's family and there are two children to take care of. Please don't make mooncakes this year."

"Okay, then I'll be lazy." Ye Qingqing held Ye Mu's arm affectionately.

She looked at the mooncakes that Ye Mu brought over. There were eight of them, which was enough for the family, so there was no need to make any more.
