Ye Caiping opened her eyes, only to find herself a discarded wife, cast out after being divorced. To make matters worse, her sister-in-law back at her maiden home was sharpening her knives, ready t...
Chapter 250 Your Favorite
The people in the Hu La Tang workshop returned to their posts excitedly and continued to work hard.
The new people were trained by the old employees and learned all the work that required hands-on work in less than half a day.
After Ye Caiping mixed today's ingredients, she went to the furniture workshop to have a look. Everything went smoothly!
After shopping, she went home. Unexpectedly, when she reached the door of her house, she saw Duanwu running towards her from a distance: "Madam Ye!"
Ye Caiping: “…”
Unexpectedly, a fish basket was stuffed into her hands.
Ye Caiping looked down and finally saw a white fish that was about one finger long.
Ye Caiping was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, “Wow, Master Shen is really lucky with fish, it’s only been five days and he’s caught another fish.”
Duanwu said proudly, "Of course! Since he met Madam Ye, he has improved from catching two fish a month to catching four or five fish a month."
That’s huge progress! Ye Caiping said, "That's it... well, tell him that I'm really not angry when he took my fish last time, so he doesn't have to keep giving me his."
Duanwu looked helpless: "Madam Ye, please don't embarrass me. I am just a servant, responsible for delivering things. Madam Ye, if you have anything to say, please tell the master in person. I will go back first!"
After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.
Ye Caiping rubbed her forehead.
This time she learned her lesson and went to the river immediately, caught half a basket of fish, put the little white fish in the basket, and carried it home.
Then he jumped into the kitchen: "Mom, let's have stewed fish for lunch!"
Old Mrs. Ye was cutting meat. She turned around and asked, "Are you eating fish again?"
"Um."
"What's good to eat?"
"It's just... delicious!"
"Okay, put it down."
Ye Caiping put down the fish basket and turned to leave the room.
For lunch, Grandma Ye and Xiaoyan cooked stewed mixed fish, braised pig's trotters and scrambled eggs, plus a green vegetable.
As soon as everyone sat down, Old Lady Ye immediately put a small fish into Ye Caiping's bowl: "Eat it, it's your favorite."
Ye Caiping looked down and found that it was the little white fish!
Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly. Why is mother so accurate...
No, it should be, how did mother know that this little fish was sent alone? And found it!
And...she likes it? No, she doesn't like to eat small fish!
Ye Caiping was so embarrassed that she almost covered her forehead.
After dinner, Ye Caiping drew in the small study.
But Ye Peng ran in, came to Jin'er's window and said, "Jin'er, Uncle Xiong has killed a big wild boar and brought it down the mountain. Should we go take a look?"
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er were practicing calligraphy. Their eyes lit up when they heard this: "We'll go!"
As soon as the two girls left the room, Ye Caiping also ran out: "I'll go take a look too!"
He turned back and said to Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, tell your uncle Daquan and aunt that we are going to go see the wild boar."
Wild boars are indeed attractive to everyone, but not to this extent, right?
Xiaoyan didn't understand, but didn't ask and just turned and walked out.
Ye Peng grinned: "Hey, my aunt is going too, let's go together."
The group went out together.
Liu Xiong is the only hunter in the village. His family has been doing this for generations and has made a lot of money.
He lived not far away, just diagonally opposite Ye Caiping's house and next to Ye Er's family.
Soon, several people arrived at Liu Xiong's house.
Many villagers had already gathered around, talking about the wild boar lying on the ground, "Liu Xiong is amazing, this one must weigh 600 kilograms!"
A burly man in his forties was smiling smugly at the side. It was Liu Xiong.
Ye Peng also looked envious: "It would be great if I could go hunting, then I could catch some pheasants for you guys, Xiaogu and Jin'er."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "You can learn if you are interested."
Ye Peng just scratched his head and smiled.
After a while, Ye Daquan and Du Shi also came and sighed at the wild boar.
Mrs. Du said, "Little sister, you asked us to come here... You don't want to buy wild boar meat, do you?"
Ye Caiping nodded: "Brother and sister-in-law, have you forgotten that when your family moved to a new house last time, Master Shen gave you a gift, and you haven't returned the gift yet?"
"Oh my god!" Mrs. Du clapped her hands. "At first I was thinking about what kind of gift to give in return in a few days, but bacon and dried vegetables seemed too common."
"I forgot about it after I came back from jail. This wild boar... is quite good! My little sister's suggestion is really good!"
Liu Xiong heard their conversation and said with a smile: "How much does Daquan wife want to buy? This pig is still alive and very fresh."
Du asked, "How do you sell it?"
"It depends on how you buy it! If you cut it up and buy it by the meat, the best fat meat from ordinary pigs costs 25 coins per pound, and my wild boar costs 30 coins per pound!"
"What about the whole head?"
"For hairy pigs, it's 10 cents per pound!"
Ye Daquan asked, "You bought so many? You don't need to give one away, right?"
Mrs. Du whispered, "We have made some money in the past six months, but we haven't given our relatives any good things. Let's give Master Shen half of the fan, and give the remaining half to others."
Ye Daquan nodded: "All right. Brother Xiong, weigh this pig for me!"
Liu Xiong was very happy. Unexpectedly, it was sold out immediately.
The villagers who were watching were disappointed: "We wanted to buy two taels of meat to eat at home!"
Thanks to Ye Caiping's Hu La Tang workshop, many families have saved some money.
