Chapter 262: What is the province for? Selling goods
Ye Erquan returned home in the evening.
Wei was washing vegetables in the kitchen. When she saw him come in through the window, she said:
"Didn't you say last night that you would go home at noon? It's a good thing I left some food for you."
Ye Erquan put the messy tools into the woodshed and said, "I came back at noon and went to my eldest brother's house and had lunch. My eldest brother and my younger sister gave me a few small stools."
When Wei heard this, he came out while wiping his hands and asked, "Small stool?"
Ye Erquan put a few small stools on the ground.
Wei smiled and said, "It doesn't cost money?"
"Nonsense." Ye Er rolled his eyes. "I already said it was given to me. It was a defective product from the furniture workshop."
Wei looked at the three small stools in turn and sat down again:
"It's quite comfortable. Hey, why is the pattern a bit messy? There's a small dent on this leg! The two legs are not the same thickness?"
Ye Erquan said unhappily, "I already told you it's defective, there's nothing to pick on. If you don't like it, I'll just give it away."
"I just said a few words, I didn't say no." Wei curled his lips.
Although Ye Erquan said last time that he would replenish the furniture, he did replenish some of it, at least the beds and cabinets in several rooms were complete.
But some small stools, coffee tables, chests of drawers, etc. are still missing.
There are only three small stools at home, which are not enough for normal use. How can I refuse this for free?
Ye Erquan pulled over a small stool and sat down: "Also, let's go to the cattle market together tomorrow and buy a cow."
"What? Buy cows?" Wei was surprised. "Why buy cows? Don't I have two cows? When you need to plow the fields, just borrow my cows."
Ye Erquan said: "The season has come, you are the only one who wants to plow the land, but I don't need to? I have 80 acres of land!"
"Also, every time we go out to work, we have to bring a custom-made toilet and some miscellaneous tools. It's really inconvenient to rent a bullock cart every time."
"Anyway, I have decided on this matter. I will buy an ox cart."
Wei's heart was bleeding. An ox cart cost more than ten taels!
But think about it, Caiping and the head of the village are the only ones who have cows. If they also bought a cow, it would be a proud thing.
Wei nodded: "Okay! Then tomorrow our family will go to see the cows together. I'll go back to cook first."
Ye Erquan smiled.
When it got dark, the food was finally served.
Ye Erquan's family of four sat around eating.
In the evening I made steamed eggs and fried bok choy.
Wei brought the rice over. When Ye Erquan saw the brown rice, he was furious.
He usually ate brown rice, so he didn’t think much about it at the time.
After all, he couldn’t even afford brown rice when he was poor before. Now he can have brown rice, eggs and vegetables for every meal, and he is already very satisfied.
But today, when he went to Ye Daquan's house and ate a bowl of leftovers, he realized that his eldest brother's family had always eaten white rice, while his own family still ate brown rice.
Ye Erquan put his chopsticks on the table with a clatter: "Is your family very poor? You can't even afford white rice?"
Wei held the bowl and frowned, "What's the difference between white rice and brown rice? Don't we always eat brown rice? In the village, except for my little sister, who eats white rice as a regular food?"
Ye Erquan said angrily: "Big brother's family takes white grain as regular grain!"
"My eldest brother's family only makes a living by delivering spicy soup, and I heard that they have to pay my younger sister 10 taels every month, which leaves them with 13 taels, and that's rice for every meal. Our family also has a toilet business, with an income of more than 90 taels a month, can't they afford a bowl of rice?"
"How much is that little bit of rice worth? 20 wen per jin, 70 jin a month should be enough for the whole family! That's only 1 liang 4 qian! The family earns so much, and you are reluctant to take out 1 liang 4 qian to give your family something good to eat?"
"And these dishes. Every day they either have steamed eggs or scrambled eggs. They only eat meat once every three or four days. Is the family so poor? Even if they eat 10 kilograms of meat a day, that's only six or seven ounces a month."
Wei's expression changed: "Don't I just want to save a few dollars?"
Ye Erquan almost fainted: "What are you doing here? Are you going to take it to the coffin?"
"If that's the case, I might as well not go out to work. Anyway, no matter how much I earn, I can't spend it. It's all going to be buried in the coffin."
Wei's face changed.
Ye Erquan continued, "From now on, we will all eat white rice, and the whole family will eat at least three dishes together, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Otherwise, I will take care of the money myself."
After saying that, Ye Erquan took a few quick mouthfuls of rice, finished it in a short while, then turned around and left angrily.
Wei's face turned pale and blue after hearing what she said.
How can that be? I’ll feel safe only if the money is in her hands!
Seeing their parents arguing, Ye Peng and Yinhua were so scared that they dared not say a word, and the food in their mouths had no taste at all.
…
The next day, Ye Caiping came to the furniture workshop.
Discuss with shareholders about wholesale small furniture for Hu Xiaosi.
Hearing that someone was willing to sell it, Ye Lizheng and Wang Shuantou's eyes lit up.
Ye Lizheng said: "After all, these goods are practice items, and they are not exquisite enough. If we rent a store in the future and put them there, we are afraid that it will ruin our reputation. Now that someone is willing to take the goods, that's even better."
Wang Shuantou, Ye Ershu and others also nodded.
Ye Caiping said, "Then let's set a price and talk to Xiao Si later."
After discussing for a while, everyone dispersed.
After lunch.
Ye Caiping sat in the corridor for a while, and then saw Shanzi and Hu Xiaosi come in.
"Hello, Aunt Ping," Hu Xiaosi greeted nervously.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I have already discussed this with everyone this morning. I can sell these small furniture to you."
"I'll give it to you at 40 cents a piece. As for how much you sell it for and how much you can earn, it's up to you."
"Also, I know you don't have money. You don't have to pay now. Just try to sell as many as you can. If you can't sell all, just bring them back. As long as they are not damaged, we will recycle them."
Hu Xiaosi said gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Ping."
He originally wanted to shamelessly ask Ye Yong to borrow some.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Ping solved his problem.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "The Hu La Tang workshop will be closed tomorrow, you can ask your third brother to go with you. After all, you are only eight years old, too young. Also, your village head grandfather said that he can lend you the ox cart."
Ye Lizheng knew that the Hu family had a hard time raising several little kids, so when he heard that Hu Xiaosi wanted to take things to sell, he not only agreed, but also offered to borrow an ox cart.
"Okay. Go find your brother-in-law tomorrow morning and get the goods from the workshop."
Hu Xiaosi's eyes were already red: "Thank you Aunt Ping, thank you Grandpa Lizheng. Xiaosi will go back first."
After Hu Xiaosi left, Ye Caiping sighed softly.
The Hu La Tang workshop has three days off a month, on the 10th, 20th and last day, the 30th.
Today is June 30th, the last day of June.
Tomorrow is July.
Ye Caiping rubbed her eyebrows. July was Li Jiaojiao's third opportunity and the month when she would meet her third noble person.
The two benefactors before Li Jiaojiao, the first one went to jail, the second one returned to Beijing, and the third one is a miracle doctor who is about to appear.
