The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye left early this time, and there were not many people when he arrived at the pier.

Father Ye quickly picked a stall closest to Dadanzi. The stall owners of the big stalls were basically relatively wealthy merchants, and the people who went to the stall to negotiate business were certainly not short of money.

As soon as Father Ye took out the braised pork, some merchants who had not had breakfast were attracted by the overbearing aroma of the braised pork and came looking for the smell.

Several well-dressed merchants suddenly came to the stall, and Father Ye sold several portions of braised pork head meat.

The merchants took the braised pork back to the stall and ate the braised pork happily while looking at the stall. It tastes good, and it would be even better if it comes with wine.

After Ye's father finished selling these portions of braised pork, he quickly turned up the fire on the stove and put the dried tofu and dried bamboo shoots in to braise.

Father Ye also brought over hairbands and headbands made by Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing. Most of what he brought this time were colorful hairbands and headbands, and there were more styles than the last time he came here.

Solid-color headbands and hairbands are simple in style and low in price. Recently, Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing have rarely made solid-color headbands and hairbands. They mainly spend their energy on high-priced colorful headbands and hairbands.

The 12 zodiac statues collected from Uncle Tang were also put out. Father Ye priced the set of statues at 60 yuan.

As soon as Father Ye arranged the things on the stall, several regular customers arrived, all of them were stewards on the dock and patrolling detectives.

Father Ye quickly cut some offal and pig head meat, took out a few bamboo sticks, and happily invited several local snakes to try them.

"My sister-in-law is really good at cooking, you are so lucky."

"Not bad, but it's still not as good as the food cooked by my wife."

"How do you sell this braised pork?"

"Brothers, these braised pork are half a catty each, pig head meat is ten cents a piece, pig offal is seven cents a piece, and braised pig's trotters are eight and a half cents each."

"What's cooking in this pot? Is it also braised pork?" asked one of the detectives.

"The vegetables in the pot are braised, including dried tofu and bamboo shoots. They cost five cents each, but the vegetarian dishes have to wait for another incense stick." Father Ye opened the lid of the pot and saw the dried bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots inside. Dried tofu tumbles in the braised soup.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the smell from the stall became more overbearing, and the few people who had just had breakfast felt hungry again.

"I'm in a hurry, please give me a portion of pig head meat and a portion of pig guts first."

"Bring me some pig water."

"Okay, it'll be ready soon." Father Ye packed the braised meat quickly and gave it to the two agents who were in a hurry.

"Have a pig's water."

"I want a piece of pork head."

"This pig's trotter seems good. Bring me half a pig's trotter and a portion of pig's water."

The three of them were all stewards on the dock, and it was their break time. They were eating braised pork with great pleasure while waiting for the vegetarian dishes in the pot.

As the marinade in the pot continued to simmer, the aroma from the stall became more overbearing, and half of the pier could smell the smell of braised pork.

There are more and more people at the stall, and many merchants will bring a piece of braised pork to eat at a nearby breakfast stall, or to eat as snacks while looking at the stall.

Before the dried tofu and bamboo shoots were marinated, half of the braised pork was sold. The best-selling items were pig head meat and pig offal, while only half of the pig's trotters were sold.

A few merchants who were not short of money came to buy some after they felt they were not satisfied. When they saw freshly cooked dried tofu and dried bamboo shoots, they ordered another stewed dish.

The set of 12 zodiac wood carvings was bought by a middle-aged man not long after it was put up, saying he wanted to give it to his youngest son as a birthday present.

The headband and headband were all bought by an out-of-town merchant who was in the rouge and gouache business. The hairband and headband could be sold together.

Prices are low in a small place. Father Ye sells this headdress cheaply, and the price can be doubled several times when the merchants take it back.

When it was almost time to eat, there were suddenly more people at the stalls. They were all merchants on the dock, and most of the coolie workers were reluctant to spend the money.

When the items were almost sold, a merchant from the north came to the stall and said that he would wrap up all the items on the stall, including the marinade, stove and iron pot.

When the merchant came, I ate dry food for many days. I really didn’t want to eat dry food when I went back, so I wanted to take Father Ye’s braised pork with me to eat on the road.

There were several customers at the stall, and they were a little dissatisfied. The merchant generously gave Ye's father a tael of silver.

Father Ye immediately packed up several pig trotters with quick hands and feet. There was still half a catty of braised pig head meat, one catty of pig meat, and about two catties of braised dried tofu and dried bamboo shoots. There was not much.

This little thing plus the stove and iron pot were worth at most 200 silver. Father Ye was very happy to get 1 tael of silver.

Father Ye brought over 5 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots and 5 kilograms of dried tofu. After braised, it weighed about 20 kilograms. A pack of half a catty cost 5 cents a pack.

Father Ye calculated in his mind, not counting the one tael of silver, braised pork and braised vegetarian dishes, he would probably earn about 170 Wen today.

Although it is not as profitable as selling goods in a large market, it is still better than being a peddler. Next time I come to the county to purchase goods, I can buy a few more things to sell.

Father Ye packed up his things and went to the bun stall next door to buy some buns.

Father Ye was driving the donkey cart and eating steamed buns while thinking about whether he should make some braised pork to sell at the big market tomorrow.

It's too late to clean up the pigs, so you can braise the pork head and vegetarian dishes.

It takes too much effort to clean up the guts and pig trotters, and braised pork is also very time-consuming. It is impossible to do it every day. During the big market and those who come to the county to get goods, they can make some and sell them in the two days.

Father Ye was thinking about something while driving the donkey cart, and unknowingly arrived at Chenjia Cloth Village.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently. Father Ye chose a few pieces of light fabric, then a few pieces of cheap burlap, and then wrapped the large pieces of cloth and rags in the store.

Then he went to the Yangjia Cloth Store next door and bought some embroidery needles for Ye Mu, and then spent a lot of money to buy a lot of silk cloth.

This silk cloth was used by Mrs. Ye to make new headbands and new hairbands.

After purchasing goods from West Street, the sun had already set halfway up the mountainside when we returned to town. Father Ye drove the donkey cart to Blacksmith Fang's blacksmith shop, bought a large iron pot, and picked up the ones he ordered a few days ago. thing.

Back in the village, Father Ye went to Uncle Tang's house to collect a batch of wooden products, including wooden barrels, wooden basins, wooden hairpins and wooden toys.

There is a family named Lin in the village. Generations of the family have been making knitting equipment for a living. Father Ye collected a few raincoats and hats to protect the sun. Seeing that the basket in the corner was exquisitely made, Ye’s father took a few more. indivual.

Father Ye bought almost all of Uncle Lin's inventory. Uncle Lin and Mrs. Lin laughed from ear to ear, and took the initiative to give Father Ye a [-]% profit during the settlement.

It was already dark when Father Ye got home. Originally, Father Ye planned to make some braised pork head meat and sell it at the big market tomorrow, but it was too late, so he had to cook it at the next big market.

After dinner, Ye’s father and Ye’s mother put the dried fish they had dried on the first day into their backpacks, planning to sell them at the market tomorrow.

Mother Ye looked at Father Ye and asked, "How much does this dried fish cost per pound?"

"For more than 50 kilograms of fish, only 25 kilograms of dried fish is made. It is not cost-effective to sell it cheaply. It should be sold for 13 Wen per kilogram."
