The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 57 Go to Dashan Village again
Father Ye had been busy with farm work for a day. He was so tired that his back ached in the evening, and he got up late the next day.
When the father and son arrived at Dashan Village with half a car full of things, the sun had already risen to the center.
Although it was the third time I came to Dashan Village, the hunting dogs in the village were still very ferocious, barking wildly at the father and son.
Father Ye was no longer afraid at this time. He stopped the donkey cart and waited obediently for the villagers to pull away the two tall and fierce hunting dogs.
With the sound of dogs barking, the villagers knew that Father Ye was coming, and hurried to the entrance of the village to pick up the father and son into the village.
Village Chief Yang lived at the end of the village. When he heard the dog barking, he came out quickly.
"Boss Ye, Mr. Ye, I've been waiting for you to come." The village chief was very enthusiastic and invited the father and son into the house to drink tea.
"Then we, father and son, shamelessly went into the house to ask for a glass of water." Mr. Ye guessed that the village chief wanted to talk about bacon, so he asked Mr. Ye to drive the donkey cart into the yard of the village chief's house.
The village chief and his son Yang Guo brought Father Ye and Mr. Ye into the house.
Father Ye drank half a cup of tea, put down the cup and said, "Village Chief, I came here this time to bring some daily necessities. I will also collect some mountain goods and go back. Please help me inform the villagers."
"The villagers have all prepared the mountain goods at home, and they are just waiting for Boss Ye to come and collect them." The village chief said cheerfully.
The village chief asked Yang Guo to inform the villagers and send the mountain products to the drying field. Then he refilled the tea for the father and son.
"Last time, Boss Ye said that he wanted to collect a batch of bacon. The day before yesterday, the village went to the mountains to hunt 9 large wild boars and came back to prepare them all for bacon. It will take about half a month to prepare the bacon, and it is estimated to weigh more than 800 kilograms. .”
The village chief saw that the father and son looked good, and then said: "The weather is hot and meat can't be kept, so pig heads and ribs are also made into cured pig heads and cured ribs, as well as some cured chickens and cured rabbits. I don't know if Boss Ye can make them all." Eat it?"
There are at least more than 1000 kilograms of cured pork plus cured pig heads, cured ribs, cured chickens, and cured rabbits. The village chief is worried that Father Ye will not be able to eat it.
The village sent people to the town to sell the bacon at a price not much different from the price given by Ye's father. The village chief didn't want to go through the trouble and just sold it to Ye's father directly. The time saved could do a lot of work.
Seeing that the village chief was a good person and was determined to continue cooperating with them, Mr. Ye whispered a few words to Father Ye in a low voice, and then said:
"It is definitely impossible to eat such a large batch of bacon at one time. I have a little suggestion: If the village is not in a hurry, we can sell it in batches."
"We will first take two to three hundred kilograms to sell, and after the sales are finished, we will come to the village to pick up the second batch and continue to sell it. Just like last time we collected honeysuckle and bacon first, it is the same this time we come here to collect mountain goods. Slowly and slowly sell them. Go ahead."
Bacon is durable and can be stored for at least one or two years after being cooked. It is not impossible to sell it in batches. The village chief thinks that this is also a way. However, after all, this is the property of the village, and the village chief cannot directly accept it.
"This is a good idea. I will hold a meeting with the villagers tonight to discuss it. Regardless of whether it works or not, I will definitely leave some bacon for Boss Ye."
"In addition, the village picked more than 100 kilograms of honeysuckle in the mountains in the past two days. In addition, the villagers picked it in the nearby mountains in the past two days. There will be about 100 kilograms of dried honeysuckle, which can be dried in two or three days. Okay, I wonder if Boss Ye still wants to take this honeysuckle?"
There are so many things, and the village chief is both happy and worried that he won't be able to sell them.
"Collect as many honeysuckles as you can." Father Ye was very happy to hear that there were so many honeysuckles.
Father Ye had already found out clearly when he went to the drug store to sell honeysuckle. There were a lot of honeysuckle needed in summer, so he could harvest as much as he wanted.
"Good good!"
Hearing his father say that he would harvest as much as he could, the village chief was so happy that his face turned red.
After the bacon and honeysuckle are sold, it is estimated that each household will be able to get more than one tael of silver. With the bacon and mountain products sold by the villagers themselves, the villagers will not have to worry about going hungry this year.
Seeing that he had been drinking the tea for a long time, Mr. Ye got up and drove the donkey cart to the drying ground with Father Ye.
There are many mushrooms on the mountain, and it rained all day and night in the past few days. Every household picked dozens of kilograms of mushrooms.
There are also many bamboo forests in the mountains, and there are even more bamboo shoots. Knowing that Ye's father also collects dried bamboo shoots, many people in the village went to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots and make dried bamboo shoots.
Yang Guo maintained order at the drying ground and divided the beaming villagers into two teams, one for selling dried mushrooms and the other for selling dried bamboo shoots.
Many people have both dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots. In front of each queue are adults from each family queuing up with items, while children at home are waiting at the end with items.
Mr. Ye and Yang Guo are responsible for collecting dried mushrooms, while Father Ye and the village chief are responsible for collecting dried bamboo shoots. The four of them worked for a long time before collecting all the wild goods in the village.
这次叶父和叶老爷子收了285斤的干蘑菇和360斤的笋干。干蘑菇20文一斤收的,笋干10文一斤收的,一共花了9两3钱的银子。
The father and son teamed up to collect mountain goods. Mr. Ye and his father each took five taels each as capital, and today they spent all their capital in one go.
"Boss Ye, you didn't bring the soap you mentioned last time?"
"Is there any salt? The salt shakers at home have been empty for a long time."
The two aunts came to buy things from Father Ye, and the father and son remembered that they had forgotten to move the things out of the car.
The father and son moved the cloth and various daily necessities from the donkey cart quickly and easily.
The villagers who got the money happily started picking things.
"Just a little needlework, the cheapest one is fine."
"This cloth is pretty good. It's quite big. If you put it together, you can make a suit of clothes. Is this cloth still worth 5 cents a bundle?"
"I want a pound of brown sugar."
"This brown sugar is good, I want half a catty."
……
The money they just spent slowly went back into the pockets of the father and son. The father and son looked at half a cart of goods and sold most of them at once, with happy faces on their faces.
"My daughter is getting married soon. Next time I will bring some nice linen fabrics!"
"Do you have any red cloth? My daughter is getting married in the second half of the year, and she is in need of red cloth for her wedding quilt and wedding dress."
"There is too little salt. Can you bring more next time? I use it very quickly when making bacon salt at home."
……
When the villagers make money, they spend it fiercely.
Father Ye took a notebook and wrote down the needs of the villagers one by one, and then filled them in when he was going to the county to get the goods.
"Boss Ye, we have a lot of honeysuckle in the sun at home. I wonder if you can still collect it here?"
"Yes, yes, I also have a lot of honeysuckle at home. They will be ready in two or three days of drying."
"There are some dried bamboo shoots at home. Will you collect them from here in the future?"
Father Ye and Mr. Ye came to collect honeysuckle the day before yesterday. The villagers who made money got out of hand and went to the mountains to pick honeysuckle before dawn for the past two days.
Picking honeysuckle is not as dangerous as hunting. Old people and children in the village can pick it, and every household in the village gets a lot of it.
The village chief signaled the villagers to be quiet first.
Mr. Ye said cheerfully: "You can harvest as many honeysuckles as you want, don't worry."
Then he added: "After selling the mountain products collected this time, we will come over later to collect honeysuckle. We will collect as much as we can, and we will collect other mountain products as well."
When the father and son arrived at Dashan Village with half a car full of things, the sun had already risen to the center.
