The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 596 Busy Summer Harvest

After a few days, Yan's Braised Pork Shop has established a firm foothold.

For good meats like braised pork head, ribs, and elbows, you can go to Yan’s braised pork shop.

As for Ye's father, his business has always been tepid, relying on roast chicken and duck, as well as cheap braised vegetables and pork offal.

The two braised meat shops had different focuses, and they both managed to survive. However, the business was not as good as when Ye’s father’s butcher shop was.

Father Ye originally thought of making a name for himself by roasting duck and chicken, but he didn't expect that people who bought braised pork would basically never buy roasted chicken or duck again.

After all, the people nearby are not that rich and can eat several meat dishes at the same time.

Father Ye would scold Yan Dafu in his heart every day. The town was so big, so he had to steal his business from him.

I wish I could call Ye Donglin to put a sack on Yan Dafu and beat him up.

In fact, Yan Dafu also regretted it very much. He originally relied on his good skills and thought that he could completely steal the Ye family's business, and did not pay attention to Ye's father at all.

Who would have thought that the Ye family's business would be pretty good relying on roast chicken and roast duck. Although his business was okay, it was much worse than expected.

After all, the place is so big and there are only so many people. If there are two braised pork shops at the same time, the business will definitely not be good.

Every day, while the Yan family's braised pork shop is not open, Ye's father and Ye Donglin sing and sell roast duck and chicken to the women who come to the grocery store to buy vegetables.

Roast chicken and duck can be sold at high prices in the morning, but after Yan's Braised Pork Shop opened, the Ye's side was extremely deserted.

There were basically few customers in the afternoon, and Ye's father was so bored that he and Ye Donglin would eat melon seeds and gossip in the grocery store every day.

Ye Donglin has a lot of contact with the nearby aunts and knows a lot of things.

Before Father Ye could come up with a countermeasure, Xia Shu arrived.

After working hard for half a year, we finally have a harvest. Summer harvest and autumn harvest are the most important times.

Mr. Ye is getting older, so Father Ye will definitely go back to help. As for Ye Donglin, as the eldest son, he naturally wanted to go back and help.

However, the father and son were reluctant to part with the daily income from the two shops.

Although the business of the braised pork shop is not very good now, it still makes a profit of about 200 yuan a day.

And Ye Donglin's grocery store also makes a profit of two to three hundred cents a day. It would be a pity not to open its doors.

Ye Donglin suddenly thought of a good idea and looked at Father Ye happily.

"Dad, when I went to stock the grocery store, Xiao Qi's mother was helping to take care of it. She can't do heavy work anyway. What do you think about letting her come over to sell vegetables and take care of the grocery store during the summer harvest?"

With Ye Donglin's idea, Father Ye quickly thought of a way.

"Not bad, not bad. You are smart. Xiao Qi's mother can come over and take care of the grocery store. You can ask your mother to come over and help take care of the braised meat shop."

Ye Donglin was quite happy at first, but then he thought that Mrs. Ye was the only one at home, so he calmed down again.

"Mom is also coming to town, so the family is too busy, right? Why don't we let Xiao Yu stay at home, and Xiao Qi can't live without someone."

If Father Ye could say this, he must have a comprehensive plan, and then said:

"I have an arrangement. Xiao Yu will come over to take care of the grocery store. I won't be making braised pork during this period. Your mother will come over in the morning to sell ducks and roast chickens. You can also do some embroidery in the afternoon, so it won't delay anything."

"As for the family, just pay two women to help cook and feed the pigs. Your grandma will take care of Xiaoqi at home."

"It costs 25 cents for one person, and only 50 cents for two people. It's still a good deal." It's hard to hire strong laborers during the summer harvest, but women can still be hired.

"Ginger is still hotter when he is old, but daddy is still more powerful." Ye Donglin felt that his father suddenly became a lot taller.

Father Ye was very proud, "Of course, young man, you still have to learn."

The Tang family had 10 acres of dowry paddy fields brought over by Ye Qingqing, which put even greater pressure on the summer harvest, which started early.

However, the father and son are also very happy with the extra harvest.

When the summer harvest started, Ye Qingqing couldn't sleep in anymore and started making breakfast before dawn.

After breakfast, the sky was still gray.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan hurriedly drove the ox cart to harvest the paddy fields at home, and Ye Qingqing was also busy making lunch for herself and the long-term workers.

For the summer harvest, Ye Qingqing planted many vegetables in the small vegetable patch, and prepared bacon and rabbits early.

Busy making lunch in the morning and doing embroidery in the afternoon, Ye Qingqing is very fulfilling every day.

Compared with the busyness of the Ye family and the Tang family, the Li family, whose family has no land, is busy hunting in the mountains as usual.

At night, Li Guoer quietly asked Yang, "Mom, the Ye family should be busy with the summer harvest now. We don't have any farmland at home. Do you want to go over and help?"

The Li family had no land, and Yang didn't even notice that it was summer harvest time. The Ye family has a lot of land, so they probably won’t be able to handle it all.

"You reminded me that I really should go over and help."

"Let me tell your father that he will take your eldest brother to the Ye family tomorrow to help. You should not go there."

"Why don't you let me go?" Li Guoer felt that he was very strong and could help a lot.

Yang asked directly: "Can you cut rice?"

"No." Li Guoer's momentum suddenly weakened.

Yang then explained to Li Guoer: "The people working there are all long-term workers of the Ye family. It will be bad for your reputation if you, an unmarried woman, work there."

"And you're not married yet, so you can't rush things too much, otherwise you will be looked down upon by others. Just stay at home and your father and your eldest brother can go over and help."

"Ok."

Although Li Guoer was a little reckless, luckily he listened to others' advice.

Yang worriedly warned again: "Your father and your eldest brother are not at home. You and your brother cannot go into the mountains during this period and can only hunt in the nearby hills."

Li Guoer was not convinced, "Mom, are you still confident about my skills? My little brother and I often go to the mountains frequently."

"You two are so cowardly that you dare to go to heaven without looking at me. Just listen to me. Only your father and your elder brother can follow you into the mountains."

Yang wanted to look at Li Guo'er without smiling, "If I find out that you sneaked into the mountains, all your pocket money will be deducted from you, and I won't give you any pocket money in the future."

Li Guoer originally really wanted to sneak into the mountains secretly, but when Yang said this, she immediately fainted.

After talking to Li Guoer, Yang went to find Li He, who was even more naughty and uneasy.

I have been told many times that I cannot go into the mountains by myself.

The Yang family controls all the money in the family, and the two younger ones dare not violate it.

Although Li Orion and Li Feng did not know how to cut rice, they were very strong and did a very good job of beating and threshing the rice.

With the help of the Li family and his son, the Ye family quickly finished harvesting the food this year.

When planting rice seedlings, the Li family and his son did not stay to help. The main reason was that the father and son had never farmed before and could not move at all while standing in the paddy field.

And Mr. Ye was embarrassed to ask father and son to help all the time.

The Li family and his son came to the Ye family to help for eight days. When they returned, they left with large and small bags of things.
