During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Ye Juaner came over early right after she finished her meal and cleaned up the kitchen, because she was worried that Boss Ye would not be able to save face and deal with those shameless people in the village.
Wang Lai Fu’s daughter-in-law Cao was one of them.
Cao was widely known in the village as being picky and fond of bargaining for small gains.
When going out to buy groceries, others would compare prices from three stores, but she would rather compare prices from thirty stores.
When buying leeks, I can't wait to pick them one by one.
As soon as Cao saw Ye Juan'er, she used her as a stepping stone and followed her into the yard.
Ye Juan'er knew that Cao was difficult to deal with. Once, she happened to go to the market with her in the city, and she watched her take out the cucumbers from other people's baskets one by one, look at them carefully, and then put them on the ground one by one.
The old woman selling vegetables looked fine at the time. She might have thought that Cao was going to buy all the cucumbers!
But after looking at them one by one, Cao didn't buy a single one. She stood up and said, "There should be another cucumber seller up ahead. Let me take a look."
When the vegetable-selling mother-in-law heard this, her face was distorted with anger.
So Ye Juan'er ignored her. She walked into the courtyard, glanced at the meat on the table, and said directly, "Boss, cut the pork belly into pieces of about one pound each and put them aside. When someone comes to buy it later, let them choose for themselves."
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye immediately realized that Ye Juan's method was better. He quickly cut the pork belly into strips with his knife.
Cao took the opportunity to jump up and said, "Ah, Boss, you're still no match for me. You still have to rely on your aunt. If you had done this earlier, I wouldn't have had to talk you through it so hard just now."
After she said that, she grabbed the piece of meat that she had just set her eyes on.
"I want this piece, weigh it for me." Cao said, staring at the scale in Boss Ye's hand, thinking about how to take advantage of it.
Ye Juaner saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "I just said it, no bargaining today."
Upon hearing this, Cao curled her lips and said, "Oh, I know, I know!"
Boss Ye helped Cao tie up the meat with a straw rope.
After seeing her leave with the meat, Ye Juaner said, "Boss, don't worry, such good venison will be easy to sell."
"Aunt, I know, thank you." Boss Ye smiled innocently.
Deer meat is a good thing for warming and replenishing qi, especially suitable for nourishing in autumn and winter. Therefore, although it is much more expensive than pork, there are still many people willing to buy it.
Soon, the pork belly was sold out.
In addition to the pork belly, Wang Guangping also bought a piece of pork shank, saying that he would go home and ask his wife to braise it and eat it with wine.
After Wang Guangping left, other people who came to buy meat flocked in.
When I came in and saw that the pork belly was sold out, I couldn't help but blame Ye Juaner.
"Oh, if I had known I would have come sooner. I came at the time you said, and now all the good places are gone."
Ye Juan quickly said, "How could I have known they would come so early? Forget about you, I didn't even manage to buy any pork belly.
"How about you take a look at the ribs or the spine? Wouldn't it be nice to warm them up and stew them in a pot?"
"Give me some spine!" It's just bones anyway, and spine is cheaper than ribs.
After a while, the head, hooves and offal were also bought by an old man in the village. Before leaving, he complained that Boss Ye had taken the deer heart alone.
Ye Juaner said: "Wang Cheng, if you have a deer heart, the price won't be this high!
"My nephew is honest, but he is not stupid!"
Wang Cheng naturally knew what was going on, but he just muttered a few words out of habit.
Hearing Ye Juan'er say this, she said, "I'm not afraid of him being stupid, because I have you, his aunt, to check on him!"
"That's right, who made the village have such a person like you who can make so much noise with the abacus beads?
“My nephew is new here and this is his first time selling mountain products in the village.
"If I don't help him check, won't you guys chew on him even with your bones?"
Ye Juaner was right. Such good venison would definitely be easy to sell.
They were all sold out in a short time, and the bones with little meat were given away as extras.
Boss Ye also followed Ye Juaner to recognize most of the people in the village.
Ye Juaner told him, "Go and close the door. This will mean that everything is sold out. If someone comes later and sees that your door is closed, they won't come in again."
Boss Ye closed the door and came back, then took out a basin from under the table, which contained a piece of pork belly and three ribs.
"Auntie, this is what my mother asked me to set aside for you in advance. Take it home and eat it."
Ye Juan'er naturally refused to take it, and the two of them argued in the yard for a long time.
In the end, it was Old Mrs. Ye who came out and persuaded Ye Juaner to take the venison back home.
