Chapter 131 Workshop Arrangements
Wei and Jinhua and Yinhua arranged the dishes, and soon the table was full, with ten dishes in total.
Everyone ate and chatted.
"How's the matter with Hu Fen?" Old Mrs. Ye passed the chicken feet to Ye Caiping.
My daughter loves chicken feet the most, especially when they are stewed until they are soft.
Ye Caiping then told them everything about the situation over there, and Old Lady Ye and the others all laughed as they listened.
"My younger sister has a solution." Madam Du looked at Ye Caiping with admiration. "If it were someone else, even if they were a little tougher, they would just ask my elder sister to divorce. Only my younger sister has the ability to control those three Yang Guangzongs so well."
"Mom, why do people in Nanwa Village call their chief villager, but we call him Lizheng?" Ye Jiner asked.
"Because Nanwa Village is small, one village head is in charge of several villages. Our Qinghe Village is big, so the village head uncle serves as both the village head and the village head, and is in charge of one village."
"oh."
Ye Jiner and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.
Old Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Second brother, Caiping, you have to move to a new house. After the Lantern Festival, I will go find a fortune teller to pick a good day for you."
Ye Caiping and Ye Erquan were both happy at the thought of moving into a new house soon.
"Mom..." Wei took a bite of vegetables, "Well, our two houses were built together, and the beams were put up on the same day. How about we move to the new house on the same day? That would save a lot of trouble."
Ye Caiping frowned.
Ye Erquan and Ye Daquan were dazed and only focused on eating.
Old Man Ye put his chopsticks on the table and said, "This is not fair. The two families can host the wine together, but should the guests bring one or two gifts? You can't host the wine together, and then people can have one, but bring two gifts!"
Wei was startled and lowered his head: "Yes, I didn't expect this."
Ye Erquan finally reacted and glared at her: "There's no way to save money on this kind of thing, just do it down to earth."
Wei blushed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Ye Xuan spoke up, "Aunt, we will go to school on the first day of February. The teacher said that he wanted to see you and your parents before the class starts."
"Well." Ye Caiping thought for a moment, "Then let's go find him on the last day of this month."
Du said, "Is there anything you want to say?"
“We don’t know.”
After dinner, Ye Caiping was so tired that she went back to her room and lay down.
"Awooo, mother!" Ye Jiner pounced directly on her.
Ye Caiping was hit so hard that she almost vomited blood: "You are so old and still acting like a spoiled child. Move, move away... You almost broke my ribs."
Ye Jiner pouted, moved down from Ye Caiping and lay aside.
But his hands were tightly holding Ye Caiping's arm, and his little head was leaning against Caiping's neck.
Ye Huaner just happened to come in, and seeing this she also rushed over and leaned on the other side of Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping was sandwiched between her two daughters, one on each side. It was really... oppressive, heavy, and sweet...
"It's your first time to celebrate the New Year here. How do you feel?" Ye Caiping said.
"Well... of course I'm happy! It's a hundred times better than being in the Li family, but... I should have gone to my aunt's house with mom." Ye Jin'er pouted at the end.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Huaner chuckled: "These relatives are so bad... They grabbed my sister's hand and said they didn't know which boy would be lucky enough to marry me. Those aunts looked at my sister as if she were a piece of fat meat."
Ye Caiping's face changed slightly.
Jin'er was born in August, so she will be fourteen years old by then, which is enough for her to get married in this era.
Not to mention that Jin'er is beautiful, just looking at her current family background, many people have become interested in her.
"You are not in a hurry. After February, I will ask Master Qian where there are female teachers. You can learn from the teacher for a few years, and then it won't be too late to talk about marriage."
"Okay, thank you, mother." Ye Jiner said.
"In addition to those who care about my sister, there are also people who want to give us the warmth of fatherly love." Ye Huaner continued.
Ye Caiping choked. Fortunately, she hid far away, otherwise she would not know how to face these waves.
…
After the Lantern Festival, everyone starts to get busy.
Old Mrs. Ye asked someone to choose a date for Ye Caiping and his sister.
The final two families' moving dates were set as: January 23 for Ye Erquan and January 28 for Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping was quite satisfied with this time, as it gave her plenty of time to run her workshop.
Ye Yongde just started working in February, so Ye Caiping asked him to deliver goods for Ye Daquan.
Ye Daquan took her to discuss business in a ox cart.
Ye Caiping took Ye Daquan to find a medicinal material supplier and asked him to only supply ten kinds of spices, the most expensive of which were white cardamom, Sichuan pepper and pepper. She planned to buy them in the space.
The price was negotiated smoothly. On average, excluding the most expensive pepper, a pound of aniseed cost about 50 cents.
Ye Caiping directly ordered 2,000 kilograms and asked the herbal medicine workshop to deliver it to Qinghe Village in early February.
On the way back, Ye Daquan worriedly said, "We buy all the spices from him, aren't you afraid that he will know the ingredients?"
"If you know, you know. Didn't Baiweilou ask a doctor to test it out before? The important thing is the proportion of seasoning and the cooking method."
"Just do it for now! If the market changes, I can do something else."
In fact, what she wants most is to open a glass or soap workshop. As long as the craftsmanship is mastered, it will be invincible!
But because the profits were so huge, she couldn't keep it.
As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. Unless she finds a big backer, she will either become someone else's puppet or bring disaster upon herself.
For now, I’ll set up a Hu La Tang workshop and save some money.
Ye Daquan nodded: "What do you use to wrap the finished ingredients? Oil paper?"
Ye Caiping said, "Let's use jars! My workshop mainly supplies restaurants, so the quantity of a product must be large."
"Ceramic jars are cheap. A jar that can hold four or five kilograms only costs ten or eight kilograms. We can buy in large quantities and lower the price. After filling, we will seal it with wax."
Ye Daquan asked: "Besides the jar, what else is there?"
"We also need to buy some stone mills, as we have to grind the main ingredients ourselves. We also need to put our own labels and instructions on the jars. We can ask a printing and dyeing shop to do this."
Ye Daquan was confused: "It's so troublesome to sell the ingredients, it's better to set up a stall."
"It's not a big deal." Ye Caiping laughed. "The preliminary work has been done, and we just need to follow the steps later."
