The happy little days of the Ye family

Although the dock is in the county, there are many rare things here that are not found in the capital city.

Shopkeeper Bai runs a number of grocery stores in Fucheng, and basically comes to the dock to purchase goods every one or two months.

Go back and resell some things that are of high quality and low price or that are not available in Fucheng.

Dried mushrooms and bacon are relatively common. Shopkeeper Bai was not interested in them, but he caught his eye at the morels and gallinobacilli on the stall.

"The morels and gallinobacilli are good, I want both."

Tang Xiaojing weighed the mushrooms quickly, and then fiddled with his abacus happily.

“羊肚菌180文一斤，这里23斤半，总共是4两230文。鸡枞菌150文一斤，有21斤，总共是3两150文。”

"The two kinds of mushrooms add up to 7 taels and 380 Wen."

Shopkeeper Bai nodded cheerfully, and then ordered 100 ordinary dried mushrooms, 200 jins of cured pork and 100 jins of sausages.

The meat of cured rabbits and cured pork ribs was too little to sell. The cured pork ribs only cost 30 kilograms, and the cured rabbits cost 15.

Although not many people bought the waxed pig heads, they were good to display in the shop as decorations, so I ordered 4 more waxed pig heads.

Shopkeeper Bai has four grocery stores in his home, and each of them has a wax pig head.

Shopkeeper Bai asked for so many things at once, the young couple was very happy, and the abacus in Tang Xiaojing's hand made a clicking sound.

“干蘑菇23文一斤，总共是2两3钱。腊肉和腊肠都是36文一斤，总共是10两8钱。”

"The cured pork ribs are 28 Wen per catty, a total of 840 Wen. The cured rabbits are 32 Wen per catty, a total of 1440 Wen. The cured pig heads are 200 Wen each, and 4 of them are 800 Wen."

"Shopkeeper Bai, the total of everything is 23 taels and 560 cents. I charge you 23 taels and 5 cents."

Shopkeeper Bai next to him also held an abacus in his hand. After fiddling with it for a while, he finally nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll probably come over again after the autumn harvest. You can try to find as many precious mountain treasures as bamboo fungus, morels and gallinaceous fungi."

Tang Xiaojing gave shopkeeper Bai two wax rabbits and happily responded:

"Okay, next time you come over, just tell my second cousin and I will deliver the things."

Shopkeeper Bai's figure gradually moved away until he disappeared from sight.

At this time, it was just time for lunch, and the crowd on the pier gradually receded like a tide and became deserted.

Just as Ye Qingqing was preparing to buy some food, his second cousin brought an energetic old man over.

It turned out that the old man was a merchant from the North. He took a fancy to the leather goods on the stall and wrapped up the remaining 5 sheepskin coats and 4 rabbit fur coats.

In addition, I also ordered 50 kilograms of dried mushrooms and 100 kilograms of bacon.

Ye Qingqing was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Old man, a sheepskin coat costs 6 taels of silver a piece, and a rabbit skin coat costs 5 taels of silver. The total leather goods are 50 taels of silver."

“另外干蘑菇1150文，腊肉3两6钱，一起总共是54两750文。”

One morning, most of the items on the stall had been sold. When Ye Qingqing went to buy lunch, his back showed happiness.

Seeing that the stall selling wonton noodles was doing very well, Ye Qingqing happily followed the crowd and queued up.

I thought that a stall with so many people eating at it must taste pretty good.

Ye Qingqing ordered three bowls of wonton noodles. Seeing that the stall also sold steamed buns, he ordered five meat buns.

After giving his second cousin a bowl of wonton noodles and two meat buns, Ye Qingqing returned to his stall to eat.

The pier was deserted in the afternoon, with only two shopping customers arriving in an hour.

At this time, the pier was already in a state of depression. The stalls that had been busy in the morning were packing up their things and preparing to go home.

Those with poorer business will start to sell at reduced prices. This is a good time to pick up the missing items.

The business of the Tang family's stall was good or not, and the items left on the stall were not too much or too little. Both of them were a little entangled as to whether they should reduce the price.

In the end, Ye Qingqing was still reluctant to part with her small money and decided to maintain the original price.

Anyway, these are dry goods. If you can’t sell them all this time, you can save them for next time. There is no need to sell them out today.

Ye Qingqing couldn't sit still when he heard the shouting nearby:

"Ms. sir, you stay here and look at the stalls for now. I'll go shopping nearby and see if I can pick up any good things I missed."

"Okay, be careful, remember to buy some gadgets and go back to comfort the children."

"I can't forget it." When Ye Qingqing thought of the two little babies at home, a smile appeared on her face.

Not far away, Ye Qingqing stopped in front of a stall selling seafood.

There are several strings of wind chimes made of white shells on the small wooden frame, which jingle in the breeze, which is very pleasant.

Under the wind chimes, there are several fist-sized colorful conchs.

Whether it is shells or conch, they are not common here. Ye Qingqing couldn't put it down and played with these gadgets.

The shells were only about the size of a thumb. Ye Qingqing was afraid that Yangyang would accidentally swallow these gadgets, so he only had two colorful conchs.

She likes to eat dried seafood. Seeing that the food on the stalls is now cheap, she took the opportunity to buy a pound of prawns and some dried fish made from marine fish.

I also bought a piece of cheesecloth from Sichuan. Although the color is not outstanding, it is very soft and is perfect for making clothes for children.

When Ye Qingqing came back, he passed by his second cousin's tea beach and saw that it was full of people and bustling with people.

When I turned around, I saw that a new large ship had docked at the pier, and the pier suddenly became lively.

The pastries at the second cousin's stall are affordable and the tea is cheap. Passing merchants usually stop here and buy some pastries to use as dry food on the road.

When he returned to his stall, Ye Qingqing found that almost all of his products were sold, leaving only a few kilograms of cured pork ribs and two cured rabbits.

Ye Qingqing put a wax rabbit on his second cousin's stall and ran away before he could say anything.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing had already packed up the stall.

Before he went out in the morning, he brought the herbs he collected last time at Gravel Mountain, and now he was going to the Wang Family Pharmacy to sell herbs.

A millipede vine, three snake gallbladders, and a sack of various prepared common herbs.

These things were sold for a total of four taels, which was another good profit.

Although the money was not as good as the bacon seller today, the herbs on the mountain were free after all, and both of them were very happy.

The young couple was full of expectations for the wild ginseng tree at home.

After returning home, Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to take out the two conchs and said, "Chenchen, Yangyang, mother bought you a gift."

When Chenchen heard Ye Qingqing's voice, he pulled his younger brother and ran over.

"So beautiful, mother, what is this?"

"Ah...Mother...Mother" Yangyang danced happily, but her little mouth could only call her mother.

Ye Qingqing was about to go back to the house to count the money. Unexpectedly, Chenchen and Yangyang fell in love with one of the conchs at the same time. The two brothers each grabbed half of the conch and stood there in a stalemate.

Ye Qingqing looked at Chenchen and then at Yangyang, and finally walked away quietly.

Let them deal with the children's matters on their own, and she'd better stop meddling in their own business.
