The happy little days of the Ye family

There were quite a few people around the stall, but most of them were just looking at it, and not many people actually bought the fabric.

For more than half an hour, only one piece of patterned fabric, one piece of pure red muslin and two pieces of cheesecloth were sold.

Looking at the remaining fabrics, Father Ye began to yell again: "Good-looking and cheap fabrics, patterned fabrics from Shu."

"Give in, everyone, give in." A hot-tempered little maid helped a young and beautiful woman to the stall.

"Auntie, this fabric is very beautiful. It has an auspicious cloud pattern. It is more beautiful than the patterned fabric that the eldest lady got a few days ago." The little maid handed the auspicious cloud fabric to the beautiful woman beside her.

The woman's clothes were made of silk fabrics, and she also wore a lot of gold jewelry that looked very expensive at first glance. She must be a concubine of a wealthy family.

"That's right. I want the Xiangyun fabric. Xiaoyin, go and pick out a piece of coarse cotton fabric. I'll reward you with it."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

The little maid was so happy that she turned around to pick at the stall and quickly selected a piece of blue coarse cotton fabric.

"The Shu pattern cloth costs three taels and five cents of silver, and the coarse cotton cloth costs 140 wen, a total of 3640 wen."

"Here are four taels of silver. If you have more, I will reward you." The woman threw the silver on the stall, turned around and left.

Father Ye quickly picked up the silver, and the little maid on the side quickly caught up with the cloth.

Seeing that the patterned fabrics were sold out, the lady in purple had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and finally chose a piece of fine cotton fabric.

When the sun rose to the center, there were not many people on the street, and all the ladies and ladies at the stalls had gone to eat.

"Xiuxiu, are you hungry? I'll go to the wonton stall next door and buy two bowls of wontons." After working all morning, Father Ye was already hungry.

"Okay, there's no one around now. Let's have something to eat first."

The stall selling wontons and their stall selling fabrics were just two stalls apart. Father Ye ordered two bowls of wontons. Seeing that there were steamed buns on the stall, he ordered three more meat buns.

"A total of 26 essays."

Father Ye counted 26 copper coins to the stall owner, borrowed a tray from the stall owner, and took the food back.

"How much money do you think we sold for in total?" Ye Mu, who had already counted the money, asked cheerfully.

"It's more than seven taels of silver. In fact, I already calculated it when I was selling fabrics in the morning." After excluding the capital of more than four taels of silver, I can probably earn more than three taels of silver.

"I just secretly counted it. There are 7950 articles in total, but 60 of them are rewards." Mother Ye whispered in Father Ye's ear with a smile.

"Rewards are not included, so the money we earn from selling fabrics is 7950 yuan. This business is too profitable. I only earn 600 yuan a month as a clerk in a grocery store."

"I still have more than four taels of capital."

"Excluding the capital, there are still more than three taels of silver, and the remaining pieces of cotton cloth can be sold for several hundred cash."

Father Ye was in a very good mood and felt that maybe his dismissal was a good thing.

The flow of people on North Street in the afternoon was obviously much less than in the morning. Only one piece of fine cotton fabric and one piece of coarse cotton fabric were sold in one afternoon.

"Take the remaining three pieces of fabric home. We agreed before to keep two pieces for making clothes, one piece of coarse cotton fabric for your parents' family, and the rest for making clothes."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. The fabrics I bought in the county last time were all used to make clothes for the children. This time I will make new clothes for my father and mother first, and then I will use fine cotton to make two decent clothes for you."

"Why did you miss yourself? Make yourself two nice clothes too." Father Ye quickly moved the cloth to the donkey cart.

"I don't do heavy work. I spend all day either cooking or doing embroidery at home. My clothes are very durable. I will save the remaining fabric to make new clothes at the end of the year."

This is the truth. Ye Mu didn't make new clothes just to save money.

"No, I have to make you new clothes. My wife is so beautiful, she will be even more beautiful wearing clothes made of fine cotton." Father Ye helped Ye Mu onto the donkey cart and whispered in Ye Mu's ear.

"Go back quickly. Mom and Dad are not saying anything, but they must be very worried." Ye's mother blushed and glared at Ye's father.

When the two returned home, Mrs. Ye was just preparing dinner. Hearing the sound, Mrs. Ye quickly ran out of the kitchen.

"How's it going? Has the fabric been sold?"

Just after asking, Mr. Ye also came out of the backyard.

"There are three pieces of cotton cloth left, and the others have been sold." Father Ye parked the donkey cart and took out the cloth.

"How much money did it cost?" Mrs. Ye asked with a smile when she saw that most of the fabrics were sold.

"These fabrics were sold for a total of 7895 Wen, and there was a reward of 360 Wen." Ye Mu took the cloth and said with a smile.

"The cost of this batch of fabrics is 4325 Wen. Not counting rewards, we have earned 3570 Wen." The calm Mr. Ye was shocked.

"There is also a bolt of white silk and three bolts of cotton. If we count them all, we can earn at least five or six taels of silver this time."

"With the money I earned this time, I plan to go to the county town to purchase goods and do some small business." At this time, Ye's father was already a little lucky that the owner of the grocery store fired him.

"It's good. You can make up your own mind. But you must be down-to-earth and don't take any crooked ways." Mr. Ye specially warned.

"Dad, are you still worried about me?"

"My boss and I have been to the county to get goods before, and I know where to get the goods. I will go to the dock first to see if I can find good cheap things, and with the remaining money, I will buy some cheap small things and sell them back. "Father Ye has already thought about it.

"The pier is full of good and bad people. You must be careful when shopping for things. If you don't find anything suitable, forget it. It's good to buy some goods and work as a peddler." Old Mrs. Ye warned again worriedly.

"Xiuxiu, take this fabric to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I used the donkey cart of my in-laws every day, so this cheesecloth is considered as a way to honor them."

Father Ye specially gave the cloth to Mother Ye in front of Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye.

"Xiuxiu, you can use it to make clothes for your parents!" Mrs. Ye and her mother's family got along well, so they didn't care about it.

As soon as Ye's mother went out with the cloth, brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin came back holding two baskets of pigweed.

"Dad, are the fabrics sold out?" Ye Donglin felt that the adults in the family were in a good mood, so he asked.

"They're all sold out. What you said last time was a good idea. I plan to use the money I earned to go to the county to buy some goods and do some small business."

Father Ye told his eldest son his thoughts.

"Dad, I will do business with you next year. I am very good at arithmetic."

Ye Donglin has no talent in reading, but he has a flexible mind and is very keen on making money. It should be said that the Ye family is very keen on making money.
