Chapter 147 Gift
Zhang Shuiniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Zhiyuan was not affected by those words.
Back in the room, the two were angry for a while.
"It's all Ye's fault for sowing discord!" Li Jiaojiao said, "She just can't stand seeing mom doing well and is jealous that mom married dad."
Zhang Shui Niang frowned: "I heard that she opened a workshop."
"Humph, I can tell at a glance that she will lose money! I'm afraid that her big yard and workshop have already spent all the two hundred taels. I don't think she can smile for a few more days when she has no money."
"By then, you will still be a glorious scholar, or even a juren. But she can only marry a scoundrel and be destitute."
Zhang Shuiniang felt relieved after hearing this.
What does the current verbal dispute matter?
Who is the loser and who is the winner will have to wait and see!
......
At this moment, Ye Caiping had no time to pay attention to Li Zhiyuan's family.
Because it will be shipped today.
This is the first shipment from the workshop!
The employees were all very nervous and came to watch.
The cans of spicy soup ingredients in the finished product warehouse are all neatly arranged and beautifully sealed with wax, with instructions for use and the name of the workshop labeled on them. The packaging is simple and elegant.
It weighs over a thousand kilograms.
However, only more than 200 kilograms were shipped.
The employees were disappointed and worried. They made so much goods, but only sold this little. What should they do with the thousands of pounds left in the warehouse? Will it be unsellable?
Ye Caiping said: "This is just the beginning. We have to give the merchants a trial period. Don't worry about how the goods are sold. Just go back to your posts and continue working. You won't be short of wages."
After leaving the workshop, Ye Caiping called Daquan, Erquan, Sanquan, Bajin, Dushi and Weishi to her home.
Ye Caiping said, "The six restaurants we deliver to, as well as Fatty's, will use the ingredient packets to make their own spicy hot soup starting tomorrow. We will temporarily suspend the delivery of ready-made spicy hot soup."
Although they had expected this day to come, when it finally came, Du and Wei were still worried and nervous.
"Then...when will the deliveries be resumed?" Wei said cautiously.
"Let's see how things go! See how the ones they make with the ingredients are selling. If they're good, they might even stop selling them." Ye Caiping smiled. "Don't worry, if they try the ingredients and they find them good, the workshop will expand its staff."
"Big brother and second brother, you don't have to worry about not having work to do."
Wei pinched her sleeves tightly, feeling scared and uneasy.
If the ingredient package is used well, it will expand your recruitment, but what if it is not used well?
The thousands of pounds of material bags in the warehouse will be lost here!
Will they still have work to do then?
"Hehe, I'll listen to my little sister." Ye Daquan leaned on the couch, eating the raspberries picked by Xiaoyan.
He was not worried at all and was willing to accept any arrangements made by his younger sister.
There's nothing he can do about the loss, he's already got enough, and as long as he has something to eat, he'll share half with his little sister.
Ye Erquan was a little anxious, but he believed in Ye Caiping's judgment.
Bajin and Sanquan also have the same idea.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Daquan and Du Shi with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, you have to take advantage of this time to prepare for Yong'er's wedding. Today is the seventh day of February, and in five days, it will be Yong'er and Xiuxiu's wedding day."
Speaking of this, Ye Daquan and Mrs. Du both smiled happily.
Mrs. Du said: "We have been preparing for this period of time. Everything is ready. All the things for the wedding banquet are piled up at home."
"Not busy anymore?"
"not busy."
Ye Caiping said: "Then let's go find Master Shen tomorrow! Master Qian introduced him to us last time!"
Mrs. Du's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes. I have been thinking about this, but unfortunately I have no time. Now I finally have time."
"Then let's set out early tomorrow morning."
Wei was full of envy. Although he might not be able to become the disciple of Master Shen, the fact that Master Qian valued him so much made Wei extremely envious.
Now she was thinking about her work and income, and had no extra mood to envy others, so she went home dejectedly.
......
The next morning, Ye Caiping and Ye Daquan and his wife took a ox cart to the town.
Ye Caiping had already prepared whatever gift to give.
The other party came from the capital, so he must have seen the world. Ordinary things like the four treasures of the study would not impress him.
Ye Caiping directly bought a crystal glass jade paperweight in the space. I believe that its highly transparent texture is very impressive in this era.
Mrs. Du looked at the wooden box wrapped tightly in cloth that Ye Caiping had placed in the basket and asked, "What is this? Is it for the gentleman?"
"Yeah, it's a paperweight. I'll buy two boxes of snacks later, and that'll be enough."
Mrs. Du didn't know how to thank her for a moment: "Even the gift has to be paid by my younger sister, it's really..."
"As long as Xuan'er has a bright future, it will be the best reward for me. I will be able to rely on him in the future!" Ye Caiping was telling the truth.
According to Master Qian, Ye Xuan is talented and may be able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future!
Wouldn't she have someone to back her up by then?
Mrs. Du excitedly grabbed Ye Caiping's hand and said, "Just for your high hopes, I will make him study very hard! If he fails the exam, I will beat him to death!"
"Well... just do your best. There's no need to beat yourself up."
Ye Daquan, who was driving, laughed.
Mrs. Du said, "Speaking of gifts... I haven't bought the tea gift for the new bride yet. What do you think I should give her? Rich families give silver hairpins and silver bracelets, while ordinary families may give a few feet of cloth or a velvet flower or wooden comb."
Ye Caiping thought for a moment and said, "When my workshop was hiring, Xiuxiu didn't come over. So after she got married, she wouldn't take things from her husband's family to support her parents. She knows what's best."
"It's just... this marriage is not happy after all. Although she knows it in her heart, we can't let her enter the family as someone inferior. The daughter-in-law is ours once she enters the family, and we can't let her feel discouraged and disappointed. What I mean is... buy her a gold hairpin!"
"Just don't let Xiuxiu's mother know about this."
Mrs. Du was startled, then understood, and then hesitantly said, "A gold hairpin... All right! A gold hairpin."
It hurts to think about it, but she wants to give her daughter-in-law dignity.
She could buy a small one, which would cost about seven or eight taels of silver.
The total cost of the betrothal gift and wedding was only fifteen or sixteen taels, so there were more than ten taels left out of the thirty taels!
Combined with the wages they have received in the past few months, it is more than enough.
As they were talking, the ox cart had arrived at the town.
Ye Caiping picked out two boxes of snacks and got in the car to continue her journey.
"This is North Street, the Shen family..." Ye Daquan pondered while driving the cattle.
Ye Caiping and the other person were looking for the Shen family's plaque.
But I walked half the street and didn't see it.
There happened to be a woman in front of her, so Ye Caiping asked quickly, "Madam, is there a family with the surname Chen around here?"
"Shen? Of course there is. Look, from here to there, half of the street belongs to his family. If you turn the corner, you can see the front door."
Ye Caiping was a little stunned. They had been walking for a long time and only saw a wall that was full of them.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Ye Daquan followed the instructions of the old woman, turned a corner, and finally saw the main entrance.
How can I describe the gate? It is very spectacular and exquisite, giving a feeling of a forested courtyard.
