The happy little days of the Ye family

Mrs. Ye looked at the sacks of cloth in the yard and suddenly felt so stressed.

Old Mrs. Ye said a little guiltily: "So many cloth heads? Don't use them all to make hairbands and headbands. This, this can't be sold out."

Although Mrs. Ye also wants to make money, this is too much. She has to do it in the year of the monkey and the horse in the moon!

"Mom, think about it, a hair tie costs two cents, and you can make at least thirty or forty hair ties a day. Even if you make 30 hair ties a day, you can earn 60 cents a day, which is 1 tael and 8 cents a month."

Ye Qingqing didn't feel hard at all. There was no need to worry about hard work if he had money to make.

"I'm not bad at needlework. It's a good harvest. Qingqing and I made the cloth." When Mrs. Ye heard that she could earn so much money, she got excited and patted her chest and said to Ye's father.

"Mom, I also know several styles of hair ties and headbands. I will teach you and Qingqing how to make them tonight." Ye Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't take advantage of you or Feng Sheng. The four of us will share the money we earn."

Old Mrs. Ye looked at the piles of cloth now and didn't think it was too much at all, it was even too little.

"Mom, you can just share it with Qingqing. You don't have to give it to me and my husband. These cloths were given by Shopkeepers Chen and Yang, and they don't cost anything."

"Mom, your daughter-in-law is very powerful. How much money do you think the embroidered pictures cost?"

"Ten taels?"

Old Mrs. Ye has seen Ye Mu's embroidery pictures. The gold thread embroidered picture of Guanyin giving birth to her son is both festive and beautiful. The materials alone cost three taels of silver. Can she at least double the profit?

"Your daughter-in-law is very capable, and she has more than just this little money." Father Ye said proudly.

"Ten taels of silver, mother, is it ten taels of silver?" Ye Qingqing held Ye Mu's hand and looked at her with a pair of big watery eyes.

Father Ye patted Ye Qingqing's little head, "You little guy, you really guessed it right."

"Mom, you are so awesome. I want to practice hard and do embroidery."

Ye Qingqing, who was dazzled by the money, no longer paid attention to small embroidery items such as embroidered handkerchiefs.

Ye Qingqing looked at the rag head beside him with a heartbroken look. He wanted to concentrate on doing embroidery, but he also didn't want to give up the money for making hairbands and headbands.

"Little money fan, doing embroidery consumes your eyes and your heart. You can't do embroidery for a long time. You can do it as before. You can make your own arrangements for the rest of the time." Looking at Ye Qingqing's tangled little face, Ye Mu couldn't help but rub it with her hands. Got a handful.

"You know how to talk about Qingqing. You don't even pay attention to it. You forget the time as soon as you start doing embroidery." Father Ye said angrily.

In order to make this embroidery picture, Ye's mother's face was so thin that Mrs. Ye and Ye's father talked about her a lot.

"My handkerchief, how much money did my handkerchief cost?" Ye Qingqing almost forgot her embroidery.

"Same as last time, 19 coins for a handkerchief, 16 for a total of 304 coins." Ye Mu took out her purse and gave Ye Qingqing the money from selling the embroidery.

"The embroidery method this time is a little more difficult than before. I thought the price would increase, but I didn't expect it to be the same as last time." Ye Qingqing pouted, not very satisfied.

"The embroidery method this time is a little more difficult, but the technique is not yet proficient enough. If you practice more, the price will probably increase next time." Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Ye Mu quickly comforted her.

"I bought so many things. It seems that the mountain products you collected are selling well." Mr. Ye came back from the back mountain with a large basket of bamboo shoots on his back.

It hasn't rained recently, so there are fewer bamboo shoots in Xiaohoushan, but we can still dig out a hundred or more kilograms of bamboo shoots every day. Every time Mr. Ye goes to Xiaohoushan, he will dig up a basket and come back.

"The bacon in Dashan Village is really good. As soon as it was put on display, merchants came to buy it. I made 80 Wen from the bacon and 550 kilograms of dried mushrooms, which is more than my monthly salary."

"Didn't you collect 180 kilograms of dried mushrooms? There are still 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms that have not been sold?" When Mr. Ye heard this, he wondered why there were still 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms missing.

"I used the remaining 100 kilograms of dried mushrooms to exchange for fabrics."

"We exchanged it with an old acquaintance, the same Sichuan businessman who exchanged fabrics with us last time. This time we were lucky and exchanged two more pieces of patterned fabric with a slight problem. Although there was a slight problem, it is estimated that the sale will go well. You can also earn one or two taels of silver."

Walls have ears. Father Ye was afraid of being heard, so he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered.

"Let's move the things into the house first and tidy them up at night. We have to go to North Street to set up a stall tomorrow morning."

Looking at the pile of things next to the donkey cart, Ye's mother quickly urged Ye's father to move the things back into the house.

Several people quickly moved everything back to the hall. The rags fell to the ground, and Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye and Ye Qingqing quickly began to sort the rags.

Fabrics with good-looking colors are put aside alone. Those that are not suitable for making hair ties and headbands are bundled into small bundles. Small bundles of rags can also be sold for money.

The same goes for the large pieces of cloth. Keep the ones with nice colors and tie the rest into small bundles. Ye's father will take them to nearby villages to sell them later.

Father Ye was packing the things that he would take to North Street to set up a stall tomorrow. The things he would use tomorrow were put aside first, and the things he wanted to sell in the village were brought back to the house.

Mother Ye saw that there were not many things and she didn't need to pack them up, so she took two bolts of patterned fabric and the burlap that had been bitten by mice and went back to the house to cut it.

Mother Ye cut out the bad parts of the three pieces of cloth. Some of the scraped and rat-bitten parts were good. Mother Ye cut off the good parts and got a few large pieces of cloth.

Because they were going to set up a stall on North Street, Father Ye and Mother Ye got up before dawn.

The two of them didn't even eat breakfast, so they hurriedly drove the donkey cart to the town.

I came early today, and Father Ye specially picked a good seat. This brought a lot of things, so Father Ye and Mother Ye decided to separate the things.

Ye's father took down the shed from the donkey cart with ease.

Ye Mu then placed the Shu pattern fabrics, the fine needlework and gold thread from the Yang family cloth shop, and the white silk cloth cut by Ye Mu on the donkey cart one by one.

Father Ye looked at the things on the donkey cart and thought it was good. It would make it more conspicuous and less likely to be touched.

The stalls on the ground display needlework and fabrics from Chenjia Cloth Shop, as well as hairbands made by Ye Qingqing.

Although the fabric of the headband made by Ye Qingqing was a bit poor, the color was really nice. Within a short while, a little girl came up to buy it.

A pair of little sisters came. Each girl held a hair tie and made gestures on the other's head for a while. Finally, one of them bought two hair ties and left happily holding hands.

"Xiuxiu, are you hungry? I'll go next door to buy two steamed buns." Seeing that there weren't many people on the street at this time, Ye's father hurriedly went to buy breakfast.

As soon as Ye's father left, several ladies dressed in noble clothes came to the stall. Seeing this, Ye's mother quickly unloaded the things from the donkey cart and showed them to the ladies one by one.
