The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 49 Ye Seller’s Income



Father Ye was extremely busy during this period, and before he knew it, it was time for the monthly inventory again.

They were going to pick mountain products tomorrow, so Mrs. Ye deliberately had dinner in advance. After the meal, the four of them gathered in Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye's house.

Mrs. Ye opened the account book and said: "Last month, the mountain goods at home were not sold, so there is no income from the mountain goods. This month's income is mainly the money earned from embroidery and harvest."

“绣绣的观音送子图卖了十两银子,其中本钱是3两2钱,赚的6两8钱里3两4钱归公中。”

Mother Ye's whole body was filled with joy. She didn't expect that the embroidered pictures could be sold for ten taels of silver. If it were in the past, how many handkerchiefs would she have to make to earn this money?

"The defective fabric that Fengsheng replaced for the first time was sold for 8690 Wen. The cost was 4325 Wen, which means that it made a profit of 4365 Wen."

"The mountain goods from Dashan Village earned 550 Wen, the second replacement of the defective fabric earned 2200 Wen, and the items imported from the county earned a total of 623 Wen, adding up to a total of 7738 Wen. Pay 3869 to the public school."

Old Mrs. Ye looked at Father Ye with satisfaction. It seemed that it was indeed a good thing for Father Ye to open a grocery store.

Father Ye, like Mother Ye, was bubbling with joy.

Old Mrs. Ye drank half a glass of water and continued: "Qingqing and I have only sold our hairbands and headbands once. I made 81 Wen this month, Qingqing made 117 Wen, I paid 40 Wen to the public school, and Qingqing paid 58 Wen to the public school. [-] articles.”

Father Ye has no time to sell things these days, so Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing have made more than 200 hairbands and headbands, most of which are colorful. There are two styles of colorful hairbands, and there are only three styles of colored headbands. You can make a lot of money by selling these.

Mrs. Ye looked at the account book and said happily: "In total, the father-in-law received a total of 7367 yuan this month."

Father Ye and Mother Ye were also very happy. This was the first time they had earned so much money, and their hearts felt as sweet as eating honey. Only Mr. Ye on the side was careful not to say a word.

"The next step is self-expenses. I hired someone to plant honeysuckle in Xiaohoushan, which cost a total of 45 taels of silver. I hired someone to make dried bamboo shoots, which cost a total of 423 coins. The family expenses were 2468 coins, so the total was [-] coins." Stingy. Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel heartache again, her money!

The money earned was high, but the expenses were also high. I didn’t know how long it would take to collect honeysuckle to earn back the two taels of silver.

"You can save 4899 yuan this month."

Seeing that she could save nearly five taels of silver this month, Mrs. Ye was immediately elated and beaming with joy.

"Everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and rest early. We have to go to Xiaohou Mountain to collect mountain products tomorrow." Old Mrs. Ye drove Father Ye and Mother Ye back with joy, and happily took the account book and looked at it again and again.

Father Ye was so happy when he returned to the house, "I only earn 600 silver a month at the grocery store, but I didn't expect that I made more than [-] taels of silver this month."

Before he was happy for a while, Father Ye said gloomily: "I was lucky this time. I came across cheap defective fabric, but this is not something you encounter often. If you remove the fabric that was replaced twice, it will probably be gone this month." Just a little more than one tael of silver."

"In addition to money, it's not enough. Don't be too greedy." Ye Mu joked.

"My wife earns almost seven taels of silver for one embroidered picture. If my husband only earns one or more taels of silver a month, how can he not be a freeloader?" A manly man has to support his family, how can he rely on his wife to support him? Woolen cloth.

"I have been embroidering the picture of Guanyin sending children for almost two months. I will not have any embroidery to sell next month. If you really think about it, I only have more than three taels of silver a month."

"Besides, I am happy to raise you." Mother Ye winked at Father Ye mischievously with her watery eyes.

"I have bad teeth, so I can eat this soft rice occasionally." Father Ye suddenly beamed and began to think of some pleasant things.

Ye's mother picked up the account book and pretended not to see the rippling smile on Ye's father's face.

"I made 3400 Wen from selling embroidery this month. You made 3869 Wen from doing small business this month. There are still more than 300 Wen worth of things that have not been sold. This is not included for the time being. I made a total of 7269 Wen this month. "

"I already thought it was a lot to earn 1 tael last month, but I didn't expect to earn more than 80 taels this month. If I can earn [-] taels every month, then I will have more than [-] taels a year!"

"What a beautiful idea. As I said just now, I don't have any embroidery to sell this month, and I don't know if I can come across good cheap things this month."

Father Ye thought the same thing. This month's income is estimated to be halved.

Early the next morning, the Ye family went to Xiaohoushan to pick mushrooms.

Father Ye originally wanted to invite a few people to come to Xiaohoushan to pick mountain products, but Mr. Ye felt that he couldn't invite anyone today.

It rained all day and night, and many mushrooms and bamboo shoots appeared in the mountains. People in the village went to the nearby mountains to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots today. The money for picking mountain products is more than the 20 cents for work.

As is the old rule, the first thing to do when arriving is to pick bamboo fungus. The few people quickly picked two baskets full of bamboo fungus.

When picking bamboo shoots, Mr. Ye paid special attention to the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. After the rain yesterday, the bamboo shoots had just emerged and were still relatively small. Mr. Ye planned to dig them again tomorrow.

Therefore, Mr. Ye and his father joined the mushroom hunting team.

The five people conducted a carpet-like search of the small back mountain, and they were bound to not let go of any fresh and tender mushrooms.

Of course, there are certain things to be careful about when picking mushrooms. People who are too old or too young are not allowed to pick mushrooms. The old ones should keep the mushrooms raw, and the taste will not be good when they are old. Of course, the small ones should be kept until they grow up.

The rain was so heavy this time that the entire small back mountain was thoroughly moistened. The dead branches and leaves were covered with fresh and tender mushrooms. Occasionally, fat black fungus could be found on the rotten tree trunks.

A few people worked hard all day and collected a total of 10.5 kilograms of bamboo fungus, 42 kilograms of mushrooms and 5 kilograms of black fungus.

After dinner, Father Ye came to the Tang family next door. At this time, the Tang family had just had dinner. Father Ye told brothers Tang Yilin and Tang Erlin about going to Xiaohou Mountain to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow.

The Tang brothers happily agreed.

Although there are a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the back mountain and nearby mountains, there are more people in the village and there are more wolves and less meat. Today, all the good things on the mountain have been dug up.

The entire Tang family went out today to pick a lot of mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots in the back mountain, but they were all picked in the morning, and there wasn't much left on the mountain in the afternoon.

At least I can earn 20 cents a day for digging bamboo shoots for the Ye family, which is a good thing that doesn't happen often.

The next day, the Tang brothers and the Ye family came to Xiaohou Mountain together. The women went to pick mushrooms, while the men went to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

After two days of picking mushrooms, Mrs. Ye and the others stopped picking them. After all, they couldn't kill them all.

Father Ye and the others dug bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest for three days. Digging out the bamboo shoots will not affect the growth of the next bamboo shoot. As long as there are bamboo shoots in the soil, bamboo shoots will grow again when it rains.

The four of Ye's father carried out a carpet-like search in the bamboo forest, catching all the bamboo shoots, and finally harvested more than 1000 kilograms of bamboo shoots.
