The happy little days of the Ye family

In fact, Father Ye only drank two kinds of wine. One was cheap bulk wine, which cost 20 yuan a pound. The other kind is slightly better rice wine, which costs 25 yuan a pound.

Mr. Li's wine is just ordinary rice wine, probably brewed with mountain spring water. It tastes better than ordinary bulk wine, and is about the same level as 25 Wen rice wine.

"Not bad, how much does this rice wine cost per pound?" Father Ye finished the wine in the cup and put the cup back on the table.

"This wine is much better than those cheap bulk wines. Neighbors nearby buy it for 20 cents per catty. If you want it, I'll give it to you at this price."

This wine is better than ordinary bulk wine, and it should cost more than this, but the people in the village are all relatives and neighbors, so it is not easy to sell it too expensively.

"If I buy 100 kilograms, can the price be cheaper? Is it 19 yuan per kilogram?"

"No, no, we won't sell it at this price." When he asked for 100 kilograms of wine, and it cost 19 cents per kilogram, Mr. Li quickly jumped out and refused.

There is only a little over 100 kilograms of wine left at home. If he sells 100 kilograms, then what else will he drink? Mr. Li firmly disagrees.

The old lady pinched the fat around the old man's waist and told him to shut up.

"We don't have much wine at home. I'm afraid 100 kilograms won't be enough. If you buy it sincerely, I'll give you 20 kilograms of rice wine for 80 cents a kilogram."

This rice wine is really good. Father Ye paid 20 cents per catty for 80 catties of rice wine.

After buying the wine, Ye's father gave Li Wei two pieces of candy and asked him to lead the way to the Li family who made ceramics.

"Mr. Ye, do you want Uncle Dazhu or Uncle Erzhu?"

Li Dazhu made dishes and pots, and Li Erzhu liked making hairpins and vases.

The brothers' houses are not far apart. Because they do different things, there is no conflict of interest. The relationship between the two brothers is very good.

"I'm looking for Li Erzhu. I heard that the hairpins, vases and ceramic dolls he makes are particularly beautiful."

"Uncle Erzhu makes beautiful things, and he can also draw, and the pictures he draws are also very beautiful."

In fact, Li Wei quite liked the ceramics made by Li Erzhu. When he was young, he wanted to become an apprentice in the Li family, but his father stopped him.

In the words of Boss Li, the fancy ceramics made by Li Erzhu cannot be sold in this town. If you learn his craft, you will starve to death.

The Li family's yard is not big, and they have built a shed on both sides of the yard. There are shelves in the shed, and there are many ceramic products on the shelves.

The person who entertained Ye's father was Li Erzhu's wife, Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li took Ye's father to the shed on the left.

The first shelf contains vases of different shapes. These vases come in different sizes, including painted vases with bright colors and vases with simple and elegant shapes.

Father Ye didn’t know how to taste it, but he just thought it looked good, and it was not much different from the vase he had seen on the pier before.

"How much do these vases cost?" Father Ye thought they were good. They could take them to the pier or set up a stall on North Street in the town.

"These vases cost 30 yuan each."

Father Ye didn't say anything and went directly to the second shelf. Half of the second shelf contains ceramic hairpins, and the other half contains various cute ceramic dolls.

Madam Li stepped forward and introduced to Father Ye: "The ones here are from the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. They can be worn by both men and women."

Then he said: "Here are hairpins suitable for women to wear. There are peach blossoms, peonies, narcissus and other flowers."

Father Ye took a few and took a closer look. They were indeed very beautiful.

Seeing that Father Ye was quite satisfied with these things, Mrs. Li began to introduce ceramic dolls. "These are ceramic dolls of the 12 zodiac signs."

This ceramic doll is different from the dolls carved by Uncle Tang. It is mainly cute and round. It appeals to the little girl at first sight. Father Ye can't help but want to buy a set for Ye Qingqing to play with.

These animal dolls come in a set of 12. The craftsman who made them put a lot of thought into making three sets of dolls with different expressions.

One set has a cheerful smile, one set has a cute little pout, and another set has a mischievous face.

Father Ye looked at this set of dolls and touched that set. He liked every set.

"A hairpin costs 15 cents each, and a set of dolls with 12 zodiac animals costs 80 cents."

Father Ye thought the price was acceptable, nodded and walked to the shed opposite.

The shed opposite is a huge shelf with small tea cups and grand wine glasses.

In addition to cups, there are also ceramic pen holders and ceramic brush holders on the shelf. The pen holders and pen holders are mainly in plain colors and have elegant and elegant shapes.

While Father Ye was watching, Lady Li next to him helped him introduce it.

"A tea cup is a set of six cups and a teapot, and a set is 60 cents. A set of six wine glasses and a wine pot is a set, and a set is 65 cents."

"This holder has a total of four styles, namely plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. The pen holder and the pen holder are matching, and they also have four styles. This holder and the pen holder come in a set of 50 pieces."

The ceramic products here are quite beautiful. Unlike what Boss Li said they cannot be sold, rich people should like them very much.

Besides, although the yard is a bit small, the wood used to store the ceramic shelves is not cheap. Judging from the clothes and jewelry she wears, Mrs. Li's family must be in a good position.

These things are not sold to surrounding farmers at all. People in the village think that their business is not good, and they probably just keep a low profile.

The vases took up too much space and were easily damaged. Father Ye only chose three small vases.

Father Ye picked two hairpins of each style, totaling 20 hairpins. Father Ye got three sets of dolls with 12 zodiac signs, one set for each expression.

Father Ye got two sets each of tea cups and drinking cups. Father Ye took two sets of each style of pen holders and pen holders.

Madam Li originally said she couldn't negotiate the price, but Father Ye wanted a lot of things. After some fierce bargaining by Father Ye, Madam Li reluctantly gave up a half-percent profit.

He said he picked two or three of each kind, but there were so many varieties. The ceramic products chosen by Ye’s father filled the entire table.

The ceramics on this table cost Mr. Ye more than a tael of silver.

Father Ye’s visit to Yueya Town was really fruitful.

Early the next morning, Father Ye went to North Street to set up a stall with the things he had collected in Crescent Town and the groceries he bought in the county.

Yefu’s rice wine is priced at 25 cents per catty, a ceramic vase is priced at 35 cents, a hairpin is priced at 18 cents, and a set of ceramic dolls with the 12 zodiac signs is priced at 95 cents.

A set of teapot and teacup costs 70 Wen, a set of wine pot and wine glass costs 75 Wen, and a set of pen holder and pen holder costs 60 Wen.

People living on North Street are not short of money, and rice wine and ceramic products are sold well.

Father Ye opened the wine jar, and the aroma of rice wine quickly spread to the street. Several old drunkards came to the stall at once.

In a short time, several kilograms of rice wine were sold.

A lady dressed in an elegant way bought three sets of 12 zodiac dolls.

Pen holders and pen holders made of ceramics are relatively rare, and North Street is populated by rich people and many people study, so pen holders and pen holders are the fastest-selling.

The colorful headbands and headbands made by Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing are also selling well.

Father Ye set up a stall all morning and sold more than ten kilograms of rice wine. He also sold less than half of the Li family's ceramics. Together with the groceries on the stall, the business was still good.

Father Ye calculated in his mind that he would earn about 140 yuan in one morning without the hair accessories of his grandfather and grandson.

Father Ye was quite satisfied and planned to order another batch when he went to get the soybean oil in the afternoon.
