Chapter 134: A Great Harvest
"Guest, what do you want to buy?"
This shop is not small from the inside, but there are not many guys in the store.
Even the shopkeeper at the counter is counted, and there are only five people in total.
The shopkeeper looked to be in his forties, chubby, with a slightly dark face, and was dressed in cotton clothes.
In front of him was an abacus on one side, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
The four remaining guys in the store are all men.
One was in his thirties, the other two were seventeen or eighteen, and the younger one was fifteen or sixteen.
There is no need to be introduced by sister-in-law, just look at the shopkeeper and the four guys, Ye Tingcheng can know that this is a family.
No, the shopkeeper hired from outside.
Neither the shopkeeper nor the guy saw anyone come in, so they came around and introduced you to the cloth and ready-to-wear in the store.
Instead, she stood in place, watching her and her sister-in-law walk around the store, looking at the linen and cotton cloth placed on the counter.
Even if they reached out to touch it, none of the family changed their faces, or immediately came up to stop them.
But after watching them pick a few pieces of cloth, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came over and asked with a smile.
Just now when she touched the feel of the cotton cloth and chose the color of the cotton cloth, sister-in-law Cheng said.
It's not just these five men who are greeting customers, but also a few women.
One is the wife of the shopkeeper's family, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old man.
The other is the daughter of the man in his thirties.
Sure enough, as she guessed, whether it was a male or female guy in this store, it was all a family.
The shop belonged to two brothers, the shopkeeper and the man in his thirties.
The two brothers worked together, and the two concubines and children were also amiable, and they never blushed.
"It is said that harmony makes money, and I think this sentence is very true."
When I didn't see this store, it was only taken over by the two brothers, but it didn't have such a large scale.
It was only after their brothers took over that they carried forward the cloth shop.
"We want this, this and this cloth."
Ye Tingcheng and sister-in-law Cheng pointed out the cotton cloth they had selected to this young man one by one.
Then he cut the desired size from the cloth and carried it to the shopkeeper.
The colors Ye Tingcheng chose were suitable for Ling Xiao to wear, and some were suitable for Ling Shi to wear, but as for herself, she didn't care so much.
In her opinion, it is okay to wear whatever color you wear.
However, Cheng's sister-in-law insisted on choosing a brightly colored cloth for her, which was just right for her.
The other seventeen or eighteen-year-old men went to the second floor to bring down the cotton they wanted.
They asked for a lot of cotton, and they packed two large bales.
When these two large bags of cotton were taken down, the shopkeeper also neatly settled the accounts.
Sure enough, the cloth in this store is good and cheap, and it costs a little more than five taels to buy so many things.
And the shopkeeper is very simple, and he dispenses them with the odds.
When Ye Tingcheng and Cheng's sister-in-law came out of the cloth shop, one of them was carrying a large package.
The big package almost overwhelmed them.
After Liu Cheng, a man from Cheng's sister-in-law's family, received his salary, he came directly, took the big package on the back of the two of them, and put it on the donkey cart, which allowed them to get on the donkey cart.
Otherwise, with such a large package on his back, he would not be able to enter the donkey cart at all.
"With these cotton cloths and cotton, you can have a good winter."
Sister-in-law Cheng smiled and patted the cotton in the car.
"yes."
Ye Tingcheng also replied with a smile, these are for winter.
During the Chinese New Year, you also have to prepare New Year's clothes.
Anyway, this is the first New Year for the family to return to Xiaoqing Village.
There's always a good start.
If you can't be forced back to Xiaoqing Village, you have to get by, and don't think about the future.
After they returned to Xiaoqing Village, it was already noon.
Aunt Li waited outside the gate early, and it was the Ling family who accompanied her and waited with her.
After Ye Chengcheng got down from the donkey cart, he didn't see Ling Xiao.
"Xiao'er, go to the old house."
Ling Shi looked at her face carefully before smiling.
Since the day when Ye Qingcheng gave her family Ling Xiao Chongxi, there has been no idle time, and she is always on the move.
Now, she has to rebuild the house and prepare things for the winter, which is really difficult for her.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao is not useless, and he can't help at all.
It is still possible to meet the people who have hired them to build houses, talk to them, and set a salary.
You have to do what you can, you can't put everything on Ye Tingcheng's shoulders.
Her family married daughters-in-law not to let their daughters-in-law use their mother and son as cows and horses.
Instead, I sincerely accept her, and I want her to feel the warmth of home, and the family supports each other to live.
"Let's put these in the east room, I'll cut the cover later, let's make the cover first."
Although Aunt Li doesn't embroider anymore, there is no problem doing these jobs.
"Allure, at lunch, Ya'er and her mother-in-law are rounded, you just have to pick up what you can do first, and leave the rest to Ya'er and Yanzi."
Sister-in-law Kang has already said that all the expenses for Ye Tingcheng's family to rebuild the house will be paid by her family.
Originally, the lunch of this day was for Ye Tingcheng's family.
However, after Sister-in-law Kang took over the piece of broken silver, she decided that in addition to the meat money, other rice and noodle dishes would be provided by her family.
"Okay, then I'll go make lunch first."
Ye Chengcheng spoke, rolled up his sleeves and rolled his arms, and walked towards the kitchen.
Because he saw the butcher shop in the town, Ye Tingcheng took the money to buy a large piece of meat.
It was twice as much meat as that of Aunt Li's family that day.
In addition, she also bought a lot of bones, as well as a pair of pork livers and lungs.
The meat was cut into three pieces, two were hung under the wing, and the other piece was taken to the kitchen.
The meat she bought back was still more fat and less lean.
Take this piece of the kitchen and cut off a long strip for later use.
Then, she neatly washed the rice into the pot, grabbed a handful of red beans and put them in by the way.
While she waited for the red bean rice to cook, she planned to fry some oil first.
Put the lard in the pan, and in the frying oil, she also added water.
She didn't know why she had to add water, but in her memory, in her previous life, when her grandmother fried oil, she did it.
It does not appear, if the iron pot is not dry and there is water remaining, put oil in the pot and it will splash out.
However, when frying oil, add water to the pan without such concerns.
She asked her grandmother, and her grandmother said she didn't know, but it was passed down by word of mouth.
When the aroma of red bean rice in the pot overflowed, her oil was also fried.
