The happy little days of the Ye family

To the left of Taohua Village is Dashan Village, and to the right is Fangjia Village. It is Dashan Village that Ye’s father is going to.

Dashan Village is surrounded by tall peaks. Because it is surrounded by mountains, everyone calls it Dashan Village.

Dashan Village is a small village built in a valley with very little arable land. More than half of the families in the village make a living by collecting herbs and hunting.

Father Ye went to Dashan Village this time. In addition to selling goods, he also wanted to exchange some mountain goods.

Dashan Village and Taohua Village are across the mountain from each other. To get to Dashan Village, you have to take a long mountain road and take more than half an hour to get there by donkey cart.

As soon as Ye's father arrived at the entrance of the village, two hunting dogs ran out from nowhere, barking fiercely.

At this time, two burly men came over with sticks. Father Ye was suddenly so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

"Who is he? What are you doing here?"

There are many hunters in Dashan Village, so the folk customs are relatively tough. The villagers are very united and quite xenophobic.

"Two eldest brothers, I am a salesman from Taohua Village. My name is Ye Fengshou, and my father is Ye Guitian."

"Ye Guitian from Taohua Village is the one who is very good at raising pigs, right?" One of the older brothers had heard of Mr. Ye's name.

"Yes, yes, my father has been raising pigs since he was young. Everyone in the nearby villages knows about it."

Another elder brother looked at the goods on the donkey cart and found that it was indeed a salesman, so he allowed him to enter the village.

As soon as Father Ye entered the village, he was surrounded by several enthusiastic aunts.

"Brother, what did you bring this time?"

"Do you have any needles and thread? The needles at home have been broken for a long time."

"Don't have any good-looking fabric? It's for my daughter to see each other."

It’s been a long time since a salesman came to Dashan Village, and the aunts are very enthusiastic.

There were not many things left, so Father Ye put the cloth and cloth ends in one basket, and the remaining scattered things in another basket. The two baskets were placed in front of the donkey cart for the aunts to choose.

"This goose-yellow fabric looks good, but it's not woven tightly enough. How much does this fabric cost?" The aunt's daughter was looking at each other. Clothes of this color look good.

"This piece of cloth is quite large, and it is fine linen. If you put it together, you can make a dress." A young woman who was ingenious and ingenious took a fancy to two large bundles of cloth.

"Goose-yellow cloth costs 75 cents per piece, ginger-yellow cloth costs 70 cents per piece, large bundles cost ten cents, small bundles cost five cents, and rags cost one cent."

As soon as Father Ye finished speaking, the young woman quickly took out two large bundles of cloth and three small bundles of brightly colored cloth.

The remaining cloth head was immediately rounded up by another slender aunt. "These fabrics are strong and soft, just right for making clothes for my newborn grandson."

"Auntie, this goose yellow fabric is so beautiful in color. Although the quality is average, it is cheap." Father Ye's aunt just now was still struggling with the fabric and couldn't help but make a few sales pitches.

"This goose yellow fabric costs 12 feet." This color is indeed beautiful. (A piece of cloth is 13.3 meters, and a piece of cloth is 40 feet.)

"Okay, I still have face cream here. Do you want to bring a box with me? You are all big girls who want to look at each other. It's just a good time to take care of your face."

Father Ye brought some facial grease, hair ties and other things used by girls to show to his aunt.

The aunt was a little excited when she saw the facial hair, but when she heard that it cost 50 yuan a box, she silently put it back and only picked two hairbands with bows.

At this time, a mother and daughter came. The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and strong, but a little tanned.

"This goose-yellow fabric costs 14 feet."

When Li Chunyan heard that a salesman had brought some beautiful fabrics, she immediately pulled her mother over to buy them.

"Mom, I still want this facial cream."

Li Chunyan often collects herbs in the mountains. Her skin is dark and rough due to the wind and rain, and she can't move her eyes away when she sees the facial fat.

"Brother, how much does this facial fat cost?"

Li Chunyan's mother thought that her daughter was now a big girl and she should dress up properly.

"50 yuan per box, and I'll give you a bundle of rags if you want." Father Ye handed over a bundle of rags.

"Okay, I want a box."

"Mr. Ye, how do you sell these insoles and soles? And this handkerchief."

Both Li Chunyan and her daughter were very poor at making clothes and shoes. They asked neighbors to help make their clothes and shoes. When they saw the shop selling them, they asked in passing.

"The soles cost five cents a pair, the insoles cost two cents a pair, and the handkerchiefs cost eight cents a piece."

Li Chunyan's mother looked at the soles and insoles and felt that they were better than those made by her neighbor. She proudly wrapped the soles and insoles made by Mrs. Ye and bought two handkerchiefs for Li Chunhua.

Father Ye saw that most of the things were sold at once, and happily helped Li Chun and his mother to wrap the things.

"Uncle, can I exchange dried mushrooms for sugar?" said a thin boy holding a bag of dried mushrooms.

"You can exchange the dried mushrooms for money, and you can use the money to buy things, but your parents must come over to exchange." Only then did Ye's father remember that he had forgotten the most important thing, and he had to exchange for mountain goods!

"Brother, do you still collect dried mushrooms?"

"Do you accept other mountain products?"

"Will you accept any medicinal materials?"

When I heard that the things were being collected, my aunt, who had been watching the show just now, suddenly became excited.

The mountains are surrounded by mountains, and every household stocks a lot of dry goods and medicinal materials, including bacon, chickens, and rabbits. It's just that it's far away from the town, so it's hard to take the produce from the mountains out for sale.

"We've collected all the mountain goods. Aunts and aunts, you can bring over the things you can store at home, and I'll see if I can collect them."

The aunts and ladies immediately ran home. On the way, they did not forget to inform the people in the village that someone was coming to collect mountain goods, and they collected everything that could not be left alone.

When Father Ye saw that everyone was gone, he quickly took out the pancakes made by Mrs. Ye from the donkey cart. He was starving.

As soon as Ye's father was full, the villagers from Dashan Village came over with things. Ye's father asked the villagers to line up first.

When Father Ye was working as a clerk in a grocery store, many people came to sell the goods, and Father Ye often helped the shopkeeper collect the goods. Father Ye also paid according to the price of the grocery store this time.

In less than half an hour, Father Ye collected a cart full of things. Most of them are dried mushrooms, and a small part are meat that can withstand aging. Father Ye doesn't understand the herbs, so he only uses a few herbs that he knows.

The things they brought were gradually bought by the villagers who got the money, and in the end only half of the expensive needlework and two boxes of facial grease were left.

There is about a foot and a half of goose-yellow fabric left, which is perfect for Ye Mu to use as headbands and hair ties.

Before leaving, Father Ye spent another 100 yuan to collect a large honeycomb weighing more than five kilograms, which can produce more than three kilograms of honey.

On the way back, Father Ye calculated the money spent on selling the things today and found that he had basically recovered his money.

The best sellers are headbands and large pieces of cloth made of leaf mother. You can buy more next time. Facial oil is not easy to sell but the profit is high. You can buy less next time. You can try some soap and hair oil.
