The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 42



Father Ye saw that there were not many people on the pier now, so he wanted to go to other stalls to see if he could find anything good.

"Xiuxiu, I'll go to other stalls to have a look. You can sell these dried mushrooms in exchange for goods or cash." Father Ye stood up and said.

"Go, I'm here."

Although there is a mixed crowd at the dock, there are often people from the government patrolling here, and Ye Mu herself is not worried when looking at the stalls.

While Ye Mu was looking at the stall, several merchants came over to look at the dried mushrooms, but they just took a look and asked about the price before leaving.

Father Ye went to the big stalls first, just like last time, and went from stall to stall to ask if there were cheap defective goods. Unfortunately, he looked around and didn't see any suitable ones.

Father Ye returned to the small stall and found that there was also a stall selling patterned fabrics.

Father Ye came closer and saw that he was still an old acquaintance.

The stall owner was the Shu businessman who sold fabrics to Father Ye last time. There were two pieces of fabric with the same auspicious cloud pattern as last time on the stall, but this fabric was obviously a defective second-hand product.

"Boss Lin, long time no see. How do you sell these fabrics?"

"Boss Ye, we are really destined. There is a small problem with these two pieces of fabric, but if you cut off the bad parts, you can still have two-thirds of the fabric left. You can give me 3 taels of silver for the two pieces of fabric."

Father Ye opened the two pieces of fabric and looked carefully. One piece was scratched by the box, and the front few meters were stretched and deformed. The other piece is not knitted well, half of it is normal, and the pattern in the other half is slightly deformed, but it is not very obvious.

"Boss Lin, you are being dishonest. There are so many damaged areas on this one, and half of the pattern on the other one is deformed. At most, only one piece of fabric is left after cutting out the damaged ones. Moreover, I have worked so hard to You have to make some money by transporting it back and selling it." Father Ye shook his head in disappointment and put the cloth back.

"Boss Ye, the price is negotiable. If you are sincere, I will give you 2 taels and 5 cents." Boss Lin quickly grabbed Father Ye.

"I have 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms. How about bartering? I'll trade you 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms for these two pieces of fabric."

"Take me to see it."

"Boss Lin, come with me."

"Xiuxiu, this is Boss Lin." Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the dried mushrooms were still there.

"Boss Lin, this is my wife." Father Ye briefly introduced the two of them.

"Hi Boss Lin!"

"Hello, Mrs. Ye!"

"Boss Lin, I just harvested these mushrooms. They are all fresh and in good condition." Father Ye dragged the remaining two large bags of dried mushrooms to Boss Lin.

Boss Lin saw that the dried mushrooms were indeed quite fresh and in good condition. He could make a few taels of silver by taking them back and reselling them.

"Okay, I'll trade these two pieces of cloth for your 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms."

As soon as Boss Lin left, Ye Mu couldn't wait to open the fabric and check it out.

"This scraped piece of fabric has about 30 feet left after removing the scratched part. Half of the scraped piece is good, and the other half, although not so beautiful, can still be used to make clothes. 100 pounds of dried mushrooms These two pieces of cloth are still a good deal.”

Ye Mu happily looked at the two pieces of fabric. The scratched part could also be used to make hairbands and headbands.

"Okay, everything is sold out, let's go to the embroidery workshop to sell embroidery products."

"This is my first time to embroider such a large picture. It took me more than a month to embroider it. I hope I can get a good price."

"Your embroidery is so beautiful, it will definitely sell for a good price. If the embroidery shop's bid is too low, we will set up a stall here at the dock. There must be someone who knows the goods."

Father Ye regretted not thinking of this earlier. It would have been better to put the embroidery on the stall in the morning and sell it. There are not many people on the dock now.

"Okay, let's go to the embroidery workshop first and ask."

In fact, Ye's mother is quite confident in her embroidery. This picture of Guanyin giving birth to her son is the embroidery she put the most thought into.

After Ye's father sent Ye's mother to Li's embroidery workshop, he went to the drug store and sold all the honey collected yesterday to the drug store.

After selling the honey, Ye's father once again lamented how expensive things are in the county. For 35 yuan per kilogram of honey in the town, the county pharmacy charges 38 yuan.

The 3 kilograms of honey I brought were exchanged for a total of 114 Wen, and I still have half a bottle of honey at home and many hives that can be eaten as snacks. This hive is really good.

Father Ye didn't take the money earned by the salesman at all. He mainly wanted to go to various villages to collect things and sell them in the county. The salesman was just a drop-in.

As soon as Ye's father came out of the medicine shop next door, he saw Ye's mother waiting at the entrance of Buzhuang.

"Have you sold out all the embroidery? Seeing how happy you are, the price is pretty good, right?"

Mother Ye whispered in Father Ye's ear: "I sold it for ten taels of silver."

"My wife is so good, it seems I have to work harder." Father Ye said in a pretentious tone.

"My husband-in-law is also very good!" Mother Ye said softly, covering her mouth.

"My wife's little mouth is so sweet. I must try it when I get back to see if it has been covered with honey." Father Ye drove the donkey cart and gave his wife a meaningful look.

Ye Mu ran out of embroidery thread, so the two decided to go to Yangjia Cloth Village first.

Mother Ye looked at the two pieces of Xiangyun cloth and suddenly thought that she couldn't just bring two pieces of cloth to North Street to set up a stall, right?

"Those two pieces of Shu pattern fabrics should be set up at a stall on North Street. There are only two pieces of fabrics. There are too few. The gold thread and fine embroidery thread in the county are cheaper than those in the town. Take some back and put them on display. Let’s share it, even if it can’t be sold out, I can keep it for myself.”

Father Ye thought the same thing, "Only fabrics and needlework are indeed not enough. Do you think we should add something else?"

"The white silk with some flaws last time, I think I can cut it into embroidered cloth and handkerchiefs to sell, and keep them for myself. I don't know that I will use them until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. I will go to Chenjia Cloth Store and purchase other items later. Check out the place.”

"Okay, listen to you."

Ye Muhe bought a large bag of fine embroidery thread and gold thread from Yangjia Cloth Store. Shopkeeper Yang was so happy that he looked several years younger.

"Shopkeeper Yang, do you have any large pieces of cloth and rags here? We would like to buy some." Ye Mu glanced at the cloth placed in the corner and said.

"There are no big pieces of cloth, but there are quite a lot of rags. They are all in the warehouse. I asked the clerk to take them out and show them to you two."

The fabrics sold by Yangjia Cloth Store are relatively good, and the large pieces of cloth can be sold for money. The rags are worthless, so they are left.

The clerk from the cloth shop brought out three sacks of cloth. Ye Mukai opened them one by one and looked through them. The rags were all quite small, the largest ones were only about the size of a palm, and some were long and thin, which were too small for shoes.

But there are also advantages. Most of these cloth ends are made of cotton, and many of them are brightly colored fabrics, which can be used as headbands.

"Ms. Ye is also a regular customer. These rags are not worth much. If Ms. Ye doesn't dislike them, just take them back. Just take care of our cloth shop's business in the future."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Yang. You will definitely come to our Yang Family Cloth Shop when you run out of embroidery thread."
