NOVEL SIMPLE The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 59
When the father and son returned home from the county, Mrs. Ye was loading dried bamboo shoots in the yard. At her feet were several bags of already packed dried bamboo shoots.
"You're back. Are the items sold out?" Old Mrs. Ye took the hemp rope and tied the mouth of the bag tightly and sealed it.
"There are only about 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms left. This trial is really good, and there are no customers at the stall." Business is good today, and Father Ye is in a good mood.
"Then I'll bring another pot over tomorrow to try it out, and sell the dried bamboo shoots at home by the way." Old Mrs. Ye looked at several large bags of dried bamboo shoots and felt very happy.
Then he added: "Qingqing and I have made a lot of hair ties and headbands in the past few days. Let's take them to the county and sell them tomorrow."
"Okay, I promise to give you a good price." Father Ye said with a playful smile.
The next day, the father and son came to the pier and found that several stalls had brought stoves to cook and taste food.
"It's too fast to follow the trend." Father Ye said unhappily with a stinky face.
"You are still too young. As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter." Mr. Ye was calm and arranged the things quickly.
There were many other food tastings today, and the business at the father and son's stall was obviously not as good as yesterday.
But fortunately, Ye Mu is a good cook, and the fragrant bacon stewed with bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms attracted many people to the stall. Together with some repeat customers from yesterday, the father and son were able to sell out everything.
After selling the items, Father Ye walked around the stalls on the dock as usual, but unfortunately he didn't encounter any good things.
The father and son drove the donkey cart and went to Chenjia Buzhuang and West Street to pick up goods, mainly to make up for some things that the villagers in Dashan Village wanted.
Yang Dawa was determined to compete with Ye's father for business. Ye's father came to collect the goods and went to town the next day.
Yang Dawa was not stupid to become a rich man in the village. He brought some of the bacon, chicken and rabbit at home, and asked his wife to cook a little for tasting.
Yang Dawa's family owned a donkey cart and often came to the town to sell prey. They also had contacts with several restaurants in the town. Yang Dawa took the bacon to an acquaintance restaurant.
The Yang family's bacon also uses the spice recipe taught by the village chief, and the bacon produced is more fragrant than the ordinary bacon in the town. Several restaurants in the town said they would accept bacon, but the prices given by Ye's father were the same.
Yang Dawa didn't believe that Ye's father was not making money by collecting the bacon, so he took the bacon to the largest grocery store in the town.
The grocery store also sells bacon, and people from the village sometimes come to the grocery store to sell mountain products and bacon.
The owner of the grocery store looked at Yang Dawa's bacon and said he could take it, but the price he gave was a penny lower than what Ye's father and the restaurant offered.
Yang Dawa came out of the grocery store with a cold face.
"Where are these Ye Fengsheng's bacon sold? Is it sold at a big market? The time between door-to-door delivery is very short, and it doesn't look like it is sold at a big market." Yang Dawa held the bacon. Talking to himself on the donkey cart.
"Is it setting up a stall in the market?"
Yang Dawa immediately drove the donkey cart to the market in the town.
The market in the town is actually the place where the market is usually held. Mr. Ye also set up stalls in the market before, but the market sells much fewer things and there are fewer people than the market.
Yang Dawa walked around the market and finally found a stall selling bacon. Yang Dawa quickly went to the stall to inquire.
The bacon on the stall is 32 cents per pound, which is two cents more expensive than what Ye's father charges. However, the business is not good, and there is a lot of bacon left on the stall.
Fresh meat is not easy to preserve, and people don’t have time to buy meat every day. Almost every household in the town makes bacon and bacon, so not many people buy bacon.
Yang Dawa feels that the bacon in the village is more delicious than ordinary bacon. If he sets up a stall in the market or a big fair, he will not be unable to sell it. It is just that it is too far to come to the town, which is a problem.
Yang Dawa frowned and went to the drug store in the town to ask about honeysuckle.
The weather is starting to get hot, and two pharmacies in the town say they are selling honeysuckle in large quantities, and they sell it for 50 cents per pound.
Yang Dawa was very happy. One pound of honeysuckle can earn 3 Wen, and 100 pounds is 300 Wen. This is no better than hunting desperately in the mountains.
Finally there was good news. Yang Dawa drove the donkey cart back to Dashan Village in high spirits.
Yang Dawa went home and told the story about honeysuckle. The drug store charged 50 yuan per catty. This business was a sure profit.
Yang Dawa wanted to collect all the honeysuckle in the village as soon as possible, but he couldn't afford so much money.
Yang Dawa's wife gave him an idea, "How about we write an IOU for the money from the honeysuckle, and then pay back the money after selling the honeysuckle. If you really don't want to, use the money to collect it."
The first thing Yang Dawa set his sights on was the dozens of kilograms of honeysuckle in the hands of the village chief.
The village chief refused Yang Dawa because the honeysuckle had not been dried yet. One thing is that the honeysuckle was not dried well, but the most important thing is that the village chief did not want to offend the Ye family and his son.
In the village, a father and his son have to come to collect bacon and other wild products. If you offend someone and stop coming to collect them in the future, it will be a disaster.
However, the village chief also supports Yang Dawa in collecting mountain products in the village. The surrounding mountains are rich in products, and the Ye family and his son cannot eat them.
Moreover, if there are two families in the village collecting things, the two parties can check and balance each other, and they are not afraid of the Ye family lowering the price in the future.
The Yang family went from house to house to collect honeysuckle, and those with whom they had good relationships directly issued IOUs. Other villagers who did not have much contact with the Yang family wanted money.
Instead of asking for the honeysuckle from the village chief, Yang Dawa only received 50 kilograms of honeysuckle in the village.
Yang Dawa originally planned to collect all the honeysuckle in the village, but only a small part of the honeysuckle was dried, and the rest had to wait a day or two.
Early the next morning, Yang Dawa took the honeysuckle to the largest drug store in the town. Sure enough, he accepted it at 50 cents per catty, and all 50 catties of honeysuckle were accepted.
The shopkeeper gave the money to Yang Dawa, and then said: "We have enough honeysuckle this year, and we have to wait until next year to collect more honeysuckle."
Yang Dawa kept an eye on it and went to another pharmacy to find out how much honeysuckle was needed. The shopkeeper agreed to deliver the honeysuckle tomorrow.
The second pharmacy was smaller and only needed 40 kilograms of honeysuckle. Yang Dawa quickly collected all the honeysuckle when she returned to the village.
Early the next morning, the Ye family and his son came to Dashan Village to collect honeysuckle and found that only 10 people came to sell honeysuckle.
Among them, 4 families had enemies with Yang Dawa, and the remaining families got along well with the Ye family and his son.
Mr. Ye looked at the somewhat guilty village chief and said nothing more.
The last time I went to the mountains to pick honeysuckle, there were 61 kilograms in total. Several families who were familiar with Yang Dawa took some back, and now only 54 kilograms are left.
The other people selling honeysuckle in the drying field add up to more than 30 kilograms.
Surprisingly, Li Orion, who arrived late, actually brought more than 20 kilograms of honeysuckle.
In the end, the Ye family and his son collected a total of 106 kilograms of honeysuckle.
The villagers in Dashan Village have made a lot of money recently, and they don't feel distressed at all when buying things. The father and son quickly sold most of the things they brought here.
Father Ye was selling things in front of the donkey cart, while Mr. Ye was chatting with the village chief.
"Boss Ye, the village has discussed it two days ago. Most of the bacon in the village is still reserved for you. You can sell it in batches. There is no need to worry about the bacon."
Originally, when Mr. Ye saw that there were fewer people selling honeysuckle, he had already guessed that someone was taking the business, and he didn't have much hope for the bacon in the village. He didn't expect that the village chief could still keep the bacon for them.
Mr. Ye was very happy and asked quickly: "Village chief, how much bacon is there in the village?"
"There are about 700 kilograms of cured pork, 60 kilograms of cured chickens and cured rabbits, and about 160 kilograms of cured ribs and cured pig heads. The villagers should also have a small amount of bacon at home, but it shouldn't be much."
"Okay, okay, then we, father and son, will come to the village to collect bacon in half a month."
Father Ye drove the donkey cart and talked to Mr. Ye about the mountain village on the way back.
Father Ye drove the donkey cart and said with a face: "Someone else in this mountain village should have gone to collect the mountain goods, otherwise the villagers would take it and sell it in the town."
I didn’t expect that after just collecting things a few times in Dashan Village, someone would grab my business so quickly.
"It's not surprising. If we can collect things, others can of course collect things. The bacon is said to be reserved for us, but it's hard to say. I don't know if this mountain village will be able to collect things in the future."
Mr. Ye thought for a while and then said: "We still have to go to other villages to visit more. We can't just rely on one big mountain village."
"You're back. Are the items sold out?" Old Mrs. Ye took the hemp rope and tied the mouth of the bag tightly and sealed it.
"There are only about 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms left. This trial is really good, and there are no customers at the stall." Business is good today, and Father Ye is in a good mood.
