The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 574 Cloth Consignment

After buying the steamed buns, the two of them walked back quickly.

At this time, the old man who was resting at the tea stall also got up and left. Seeing that there were not many people on the dock, Wang Lin started to pack his things and go back.

When Ye Qingqing came back, he saw that all the tea brought by Wang Lin had been sold out, and most of the pastries had also been sold.

He praised happily: "Second cousin, your tea stall business is good."

Wang Lin smiled: "My stall is in a remote location, so I rely on some regular customers to support me."

Although Wang Lin's stall is in a corner, he is an honest man and the items on his stall are economical and affordable. Many merchants are repeat customers.

Moreover, he has been setting up a stall on the pier for several years and has accumulated a number of customers.

When they went back, the three of them walked together.

Wang Lin saw a lot of cloth on Ye Qingqing's bullock cart and asked curiously:

"Qingqing, why did you buy so much fabric? Are you buying it for Dong Lin?"

Ye Qingqing shook his head and said with a smile: "These fabrics are all fine linen with defects. They are very cheap. I exchanged them for bacon."

"I plan to take it to the market and resell it when I go to the market. I can make a small profit anyway."

Wang Lin admired the Ye family's brains very much, they could think of making money no matter what.

"Qingqing, you are still smart. Next time the stall is closed, I will go to the dock to see if I can pick up some good things and bring them back."

Ye Qingqing was very proud, "Second cousin, you really should walk around the pier more often. Things are cheaper when the stalls are closed in the afternoon, so you can still pick up good things."

Ye Qingqing's proud little look was very cute, but Tang Xiaojing still poured cold water on her to cool down.

"There are good and bad things in these cheap things. Don't be too greedy for petty gains. Besides, my second cousin's tea stall is also inseparable."

Well, she thought too simply.

Ye Qingqing was silent for a while and then said: "My second cousin reminded me that I can actually put these fabrics on consignment at my eldest brother's grocery store."

Tang Xiaojing has to take care of the herbs on two hills and deliver rabbits to the Liang Family Restaurant in the county every three days, so he probably won't have time to set up a stall.

And Ye Qingqing herself is busy making embroidery every day and spending time setting up stalls. It doesn't seem worthwhile to earn such a small amount of money. After all, her embroidery is more valuable.

It is better to put it on consignment at a grocery store, which saves worry and trouble.

Ye Qingqing immediately looked at Tang Xiaojing, "Ms. sir, what do you think about me putting the fabrics on consignment at my eldest brother's grocery store? I will give [-]% of the money I earn to my eldest brother."

Tang Xiaojing had no objection, "It's good. I can save a lot of trouble by leaving the fabric to my eldest brother."

The fabric was originally exchanged for leftover waxed pork ribs, and it didn't cost much. Tang Xiaojing didn't care much whether it was profitable or not.

As soon as the two got home, Da Huang and Xiao Huang rushed over enthusiastically.

Ye Qingqing rubbed the big plush heads of the two big guys one by one to comfort the two little ones who were left at home.

The house was quiet, it seemed that Tangshan hadn't come back yet.

Tang Xiaojing led the oxcart to the door of the living room, and the two of them moved the cloth down and placed it in the living room.

Several eels were put into buckets and taken to the backyard by Tang Xiaojing to raise.

The eel needs to be raised in clean water for several days, so that the muddy smell will be less and it will taste better.

A large bag of white flour steamed buns was brought to the kitchen table by Ye Qingqing.

After putting the things away, Ye Qingqing immediately went back to the house and put away his money.

Seeing that there was a lot more money in the hidden compartment, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a silly smile.

Tang Xiaojing took the oxcart to the backyard, took some good fodder, and rewarded the two hardworking big oxen. It was indeed hard work to pull so many things today.

Seeing that Tangshan hadn't come back yet, Ye Qingqing was not in a hurry to heat up the steamed buns. He called Tang Xiaojing and carried the cloth to Ye's house.

When the two passed by, the Ye family was eating dinner.

When Ye Mu saw Ye Qingqing coming, she quickly said, "It's just the right time. You haven't eaten yet, so let's have some together."

"Yes, you went to the pier to sell things today. You must not have eaten yet. Eat something before going back." Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing enthusiastically.

"No need, I bought white flour steamed buns. I can heat them up later and eat them." Ye Qingqing shook his head. There were still many big steamed buns at home.

"Why did you bring so much fabric here? Did you buy it at the pier today?" Ye Donglin had already noticed the fabric they were holding.

Ye Qingqing came to Ye Donglin holding the cloth and said proudly:

"My husband and I went to the dock today to sell bacon and dried mushrooms. We exchanged 21 kilograms of bacon for these eight pieces of stained linen."

"I want to put these fabrics on consignment at a grocery store. Brother, you can decide the price. After selling, I will share [-]% of the profit with you."

Ye Donglin smiled and said: "Okay, just put the fabric aside quickly. It won't feel heavy even if I keep holding you. I promise to do it properly for you."

Then he said: "If you don't need [-]% of the profit, I'll take [-]%."

"Thank you, brother, I'll leave it to you."

Ye Donglin is very reliable in his work. If the fabrics are given to him, Ye Qingqing doesn't have to worry about it himself and can make money just sitting at home.

Ye Qingqing heard the sound of Tang's house opening the door behind him, it must be Tang Shan coming back, and he quickly pulled Tang Xiaojing back.

"Then my husband and I will go back first."

Father Ye looked at Ye Qingqing's bouncing back and smiled: "This girl is so reckless."

When the two returned to Tang's house, Tang Shan had already returned.

Ye Qingqing went to the kitchen to heat up the white flour steamed buns and made a meal for the evening.

After washing up, Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to take Tang Xiaojing back to the house to settle the bill.

Today, a total of 894 kilograms of ordinary dried mushrooms, 51 kilograms of morels and 47 kilograms of gallinomycetes were sold.

Dried mushrooms cost 23 cents per catty, morels cost 160 cents per catty, and gallinobacilli cost 120 cents per catty. The dried mushrooms alone sold for a total of 34 taels and 362 cents.

In addition, 60 kilograms of cured chicken, 450 kilograms of cured rabbits, 820 kilograms of cured pork, and 117 kilograms of cured pork ribs were sold.

Cured pork costs 35 cents per catty, cured ribs cost 28 cents per catty, and bacon chicken and rabbit cost 30 cents per catty. All the bacon was sold for a total of 47 taels and 276 cents.

In addition, five large pig heads were sold today, each costing 5 yuan, a total of one tael of silver.

Taken together, a total of 82 taels and 638 yuan were received today.

After reading today's income, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing almost grinned to the backs of their ears.

In fact, the profit from cured pork should be deducted from the cost of piglets and bean dregs. However, Tang Xiaojing had already given away the money at the beginning of the year, and Ye Qingqing did not calculate this cost.

After calculating their income, the two then started calculating today's expenses.

The big meat bags cost two cents each. I bought 14 of them at noon, for a total of 28 cents.

I spent 10 Wen on the eel and 12 Wen on the white-flour steamed buns I ate at night. A total of 50 Wen was spent today.

As for the eight pieces of fabrics exchanged for the waxed pork ribs, Ye Qingqing planned to wait until all the fabrics were sold out before calculating.

After all the accounts were settled, Ye Qingqing closed the account book and yawned lazily.

I got up in the middle of the night today. Ye Qingqing dozed off while driving the bullock cart, and almost ended up in the ditch twice.

Tang Xiaojing blew out the candle and took Ye Qingqing's hand to the bedside.

The two slept together.
