The happy little days of the Ye family

When Father Ye came to Yueya Town, he first went to Lijia Village to order 100 kilograms of rice wine.

The Li family's stored wine was bought by Ye's father last time, and the 100 kilograms of rice wine ordered this time will be brewed again.

It takes time to brew rice wine. It will take more than a month to brew the 100 kilograms of rice wine. Father Ye gave a deposit and agreed to pick up the rice wine in one and a half months.

Then Ye's father went to Li Erzhu's house. Ye's father asked for six sets of dolls with twelve zodiac animals, two sets of each expression.

Then I picked up 10 sets of pen holders and pen holders, as well as 2 sets each of teapots and wine bottles. The vases and ceramic hairpins did not sell well, so Father Ye stopped taking them.

Father Ye is going to the county to pick up goods tomorrow. This time he will not go to the dock to sell braised pork. Father Ye wants to take the rice wine, ceramics and newly squeezed soybean oil to the county to set up a stall.

Because he was going to the county to set up a stall, Father Ye ordered a lot of ceramic products this time, especially pen holders and pen holders. There are many rich people in the county, and there should be a lot of people studying.

Father Ye came to Lijia Oil Factory. Yesterday's soybeans had turned into two large cans of soybean oil.

"Mr. Ye, the soybean oil is ready. There are about 41 or [-] kilograms of soybean oil here for two hundred kilograms of soybeans, and the bean dregs are also packed for you." Boss Li opened the clay pot and motioned to Father Ye to check.

The freshly pressed soybean oil has a very mellow taste. Father Ye put the lid back with satisfaction. The three sacks that originally contained the soybeans were filled with the remaining bean dregs after the oil was pressed.

Father Ye took out the 40 Wen that he had prepared long ago from his wallet and handed it to Boss Li.

Boss Li took the 40 copper coins and happily moved the things to the donkey cart with Father Ye.

When Ye's father returned home, he made a pound of soybean oil and asked Ye's mother to use it for cooking. Of course, he had to taste his own soybean oil first.

Originally, Father Ye planned to keep two kilograms of food for himself, but Mrs. Ye refused.

Rich people like to eat soybean oil because they are tired of eating meat and find soybean oil refreshing and not greasy.

But farmers prefer to eat lard. If you sell a pound of soybean oil for 26 yuan, you can buy more than a pound of lard suet. Of course, it is cost-effective to sell it and use the money to buy lard lard.

The vegetable Ye Mu in the evening was made with soybean oil, and the dish was indeed refreshing, but it did not have the aroma of vegetables cooked with lard. The Ye family was not very interested in this soybean oil.

Early the next morning, Father Ye brought his things to the county market to set up a stall.

The freshly squeezed soybean oil is very mellow. As soon as the lid is opened, half of the street can smell the fragrance of soybean oil. Many women smell the fragrance of soybean oil and come to Ye's stall.

Father Ye had already inquired about the price of soybean oil before setting up the stall. Prices in the county were a bit higher than in the town, and soybean oil cost 27 Wen per pound.

Father Ye did not want to destroy the price of soybean oil, so the soybean oil he brought was sold at 27 Wen per pound.

The woman who originally only wanted soybean oil saw that there were many other things on the stall, so she picked up some other things on the stall.

Both the wooden hairpins made by Uncle Tang and the ceramic hairpins made by Li Erzhu sold a lot.

The weather is hot, and light fabrics sell well. However, the rice wine and the pen holders and pen holders that Father Ye thought were selling well were not taken up by anyone.

At the time of gathering, all 40 kilograms of soybean oil had been sold, and a lot of ceramic products and other groceries had also been sold. There was only rice wine, and somehow not a pound was sold.

Father Ye had a headache looking at the rice wine that had not yet opened. Seeing that it was still early, Father Ye came to the dock again with his things.

Father Ye thought to himself, there are men on this pier, so the rice wine can definitely be sold.

Father Ye arrived late, and there was only a small stall in the corner on the pier.

Father Ye placed the things he brought on the stall one by one and opened the wine jar.

"Rice wine, rice wine brewed with mountain spring water." Father Ye kept stirring the air above the wine jar, making the aroma of the wine float farther.

There were almost all men on the pier, and there were even more drunkards. As soon as Father Ye opened the wine jar, he smelled a lot of old wine.

Because he wanted to sell rice wine, Father Ye went to Mr. Tang’s house and bought 20 bamboo tubes to hold the wine. The bamboo tubes are all the same size, and one kilogram is enough when filled.

Ye Fu plans to sell a bamboo tube of rice wine for 28 Wen. After all, Ye Fu also spent money to buy the bamboo tube.

Most of the people on Ma Pier had nothing to carry rice wine, so many people chose to buy a bamboo tube of rice wine to take away.

The merchants on the pier were very interested in the ceramic gadgets brought by Ye's father. The prices were not expensive, and it was good to buy some back to entertain the children.

Father Ye stayed at the dock for an hour. Almost all the ceramic gadgets were sold out, and rice wine also sold for 18 bamboo tubes.

Father Ye packed up his things, simply ate something on the dock, and took the leftover soybean oil to a restaurant in the county.

Father Ye took the soybean oil and went to the restaurant where he bought cornmeal last time. Most of these restaurants were smaller restaurants or roadside stalls.

Because the quantity required is not much, the price when going to the grain store to buy things must not be as low as in a big restaurant. This gives Father Ye an opportunity.

Ye’s father’s soybean oil is freshly squeezed, and it’s a penny cheaper than the soybean oil in the county. Moreover, the cornmeal I bought last time was of good quality. I ordered some soybean oil from Ye’s father’s store that I visited last time.

Father Ye ordered a total of 260 kilograms of soybean oil, and there are still 800 kilograms of soybeans at home. It is estimated that he can only squeeze out 168 kilograms of soybean oil, but the remaining 92 kilograms can be bought at the oil shop.

If we can cooperate with these small restaurants for a long time, we can purchase goods from the oil shop and sell them in the county. This gives the family another income.

Early the next morning, Father Ye sent 800 kilograms of soybeans from his family to Lijia Oil Mill.

After pressing the oil from 800 kilograms of soybeans, 168 kilograms of soybean oil was obtained. In addition, Father Ye also bought 100 kilograms of soybean oil from Lijia Oil Shop.

Boss Li was very happy. In order to retain Ye's father as a big customer, he gave his father two cents per pound.

The soybean oil that Ye's father ordered from the restaurant was 26 cents per catty, but the price he bought at Lijia Oil Shop was 24 cents per catty. In this way, Ye's father could earn two cents per catty of soybean oil.

Father Ye came to the county with the oil squeezed from his own soybeans and the soybean oil bought at Lijia Oil Shop, a total of 285 kilograms of soybean oil.

There were a total of 12 small restaurants that ordered soybean oil from Ye's father. Ye's father drove a donkey cart to deliver the soybean oil to each house.

After delivering the soybean oil to the restaurant, there were 8 pounds of soybean oil left on the donkey cart.

Father Ye finally went to several larger restaurants. Unfortunately, the larger restaurants had their own familiar sources of supply and were not willing to buy Father Ye's soybean oil.

Finally, Father Ye sold the remaining 8 pounds of soybean oil to a stall that makes fried cakes.

A total of about 1000 kilograms of beans were harvested from four acres of soybeans. After oil extraction from these 1000 kilograms of beans, there were 208 kilograms of soybean oil.

The 208 kilograms of soybean oil was finally sold for a total of 5262 cents. If the soybeans were sold directly, it would only cost 3 taels and 2 cents. Selling soybean oil was much more cost-effective than selling soybeans.
