The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing took Ye Xilin to Baijia Youfang to buy bean dregs, leaving Ye Qingqing alone at home.

After breakfast, Ye Qingqing took the embroidery to Ye's house and asked Ye's mother to make embroidery together. By the way, let’s have lunch at Ye’s house.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu were doing embroidery together in the house. They learned from Ye Mu that there was a new braised pork shop near their family's braised pork shop.

Like Ye Mu and others, Ye Qingqing also thought of making a name for himself by roasting chicken and duck.

"Mom, let's rent out the house behind the braised pork shop. The rent is only 800 yuan a month. How about we take the house back and cook roast duck and chicken in the back house."

"Freshly baked roast duck and chicken definitely taste better than cooking them at home and taking them over."

Then he analyzed it with Ye Mu: "It is not difficult to make braised pork. Most women can do it. As long as you are willing to spend money to buy spices and sugar, it will not taste bad."

"However, there are relatively few people who know how to cook roast chicken and duck. The owner of Yan's braised pork shop used to be a chef in a restaurant, so the braised pork must be good. We can specialize in roast duck and chicken in the future."

Ye Mu felt that what Ye Qingqing said was reasonable. The rent of the house was not high, and it would be more convenient to take it back to make braised pork or roast duck and chicken.

The small kitchen of the braised pork shop was too small and stuffy, and Father Ye suffered from making braised pork there every day.

Mother Ye was moved, "When your father comes back, we will discuss it in the evening. I don't know how the roast duck is selling today."

"My mother's craftsmanship is so good, there must be no problem." Ye Qingqing has also eaten roast duck made by Ye Mu and has great trust in Ye Mu's craftsmanship.

Mr. Ye didn't know that the mother and daughter wanted to take the house back to make roast duck. At this time, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye were making an oven for Ye's father.

There is only one oven at home, and I am too busy making roast chicken and duck.

The old couple specially built an extra oven for Father Ye so that they could cook roast chicken and duck at the same time.

It will be more convenient if we specialize in roast duck and chicken business in the future.

The weather was good today, so Wang Chunyu moved the small bed where Xiaoqi slept out of the yard.

He put Xiao Qi on the small bed and gave the little guy two dolls made of rag heads to play with. While taking care of the little guy, he helped the old couple.

When Ye Qingqing and her daughter heard the commotion and came out, they found that Mr. Ye and the others were making an oven, and they quickly reiterated their previous idea.

Wang Chunyu looked at Mr. Ye, "Grandpa, are you still making the oven?"

"Continue to work on the oven. I don't know how the roast duck is selling. Don't rush this matter. Let's talk about it later."

Mr. Ye was a little hesitant. After all, the rent was paid every month, which was relatively stable and worry-free.

Although it is not much, it is enough for a family to spend for a month.

Old Mrs. Ye on the side also said: "Even if we want to take the house back, we still have to move it out to the current tenants. We also need to build a stove and an oven. It will take a long time to use it."

"Let's set up the oven first and see how the roast chicken and duck sell. Don't worry about the house."

Ye Qingqing also felt that he was too impatient, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and came to help.

There is strength in numbers, and a few people finished the oven in one morning.

In order to save time and because the ducks are larger than the hens, the new oven is twice as big as the original oven, and four ducks can be roasted in it at the same time.

Looking at the large oven in front of him, Ye Qingqing smiled and said:

"This oven is so big. Not to mention ducks, even wild goats can be roasted in it."

"I haven't eaten roasted wild goat before. I wonder if it tastes good?" Ye Qingqing muttered again.

Ye Mu shook her head and was not optimistic.

"The mutton has a strong smell. You need to put some medicinal herbs in it to stew it to remove the smell. It won't taste good if it is grilled directly."

"I don't believe it. I'll ask my husband to go up the mountain to hunt a wild goat later and come back to try."

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "You, think about it and eat it as much as you want. The oven is also ready. You can go back and make embroidery quickly."

Seeing that mother and daughter were setting up an oven in the morning and not doing much embroidery, Mrs. Ye quickly drove them back.

Then he said to Wang Chunyu: "Xiao Yu, it's getting hot. You can take Xiao Qi back to the house. There is nothing left to do."

"Okay, let me take the little guy back first."

Wang Chunyu gently picked up Xiao Qi, who was tired from playing and had a flushed face while sleeping.

Mr. Ye on the side helped move the small bed where Xiao Qi slept back into the house.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Xilin went to Xiaohe Town, and it would be dark before they could get home.

Ye Qingqing was not in a hurry to go home and cook, and waited for Ye's father to come back. Knowing that the roast duck was selling very well, she happily returned to the Tang family behind.

When Father Ye saw the big oven in the backyard, he happily hugged Mr. Ye's shoulders.

"Dad, you are so good at predicting things. Knowing that the roast duck sells well, you specially built an extra oven for me."

Knowing that the roast duck was selling well, Mr. Ye was also very happy and looked at the newly built oven happily.

"The weather is hot now, and the oven dries quickly. After dinner, put some charcoal in it and bake it. The oven will be ready for use tomorrow."

The next day, Father Ye brought 2 roast chickens and 4 roast ducks to the braised pork shop. The business was better than yesterday.

One roast chicken and three roast ducks were sold before lunch, and the rest were made into roast duck rice and roast chicken rice by Ye's father and sold during lunch.

The roast chicken and duck sold well, but the braised pork was unsaleable. When it closed in the afternoon, there were still some pig head meat and pig offal left.

However, Father Ye was not depressed. He happily said to Ye Donglin while holding the braised pork:

"We have braised pork for dinner tonight."

"Maybe I haven't had braised pork in my family for a long time, and I'm really craving for braised pork." Ye Donglin was also cheerful.

The father and son are big-hearted. Roast duck and chicken can make a lot of money anyway. They just need to cook less braised pork in the future, and the leftovers can be used as extra meals.

As for the opening of Yan's Braised Pork Shop tomorrow, the father and son were of course very nervous and made a special trip to Butcher Zhang's house.

Starting tomorrow, all you need is 2 pounds of ribs, a pair of pig offal and half a pig head.

Father Ye had already told Butcher Zhang about the Yan family braised meat shop two days ago. He would need less meat in the future, and Butcher Zhang could understand.

Butcher Zhang has been scolding Yan Dafu behind his back these past two days for being unkind. The town is so big, why does he have to open a braised meat shop near Ye's shop?

A fool who harms others without benefiting himself.

Seeing that the father and son were about to leave, Butcher Zhang's wife brought some pickles she had made for them.

When the Yan family's braised pork shop opened, everyone in the Ye family paid great attention to it. Ye's mother even went to the braised pork shop to help Ye's father.

The pig heads and drains used for making braised pork are difficult to clean, and it takes a lot of time to braise it. Father Ye guessed that the Yan family's braised pork shop should open at noon.

Ye's mother stayed in the kitchen to light a fire to make braised pork, while Ye's father put out the roast chicken and duck early.

Then he joined hands with Ye Donglin, who was selling vegetables at the grocery store, and recommended the roast chicken and duck from the braised pork shop to the woman who came to buy vegetables.

A dish of roast duck or chicken costs 15 yuan, and braised eggs and rags are also included. Most of the women are excited.

Ye Donglin sold out all the vegetables, and Ye's father also sold one and a half roast chickens and three roast ducks, earning 3 yuan.

The braised eggs were given by our own chickens, and the rags were given by shopkeeper Chen. In fact, they didn't cost much.

Father Ye happily counted the money on the counter.

As soon as Ye Mu finished cooking the braised pork, the sound of firecrackers rang out not far away, mixed with cheers, which seemed quite lively.

The Yan family's braised pork shop is newly opened, and the chef is Yan Dafu, who used to be a chef in a restaurant, and there are also gifts.

Residents nearby have gone to buy braised pork, and business is very good.

Father Ye quietly stood in the distance and took a peek. He felt very unhappy when he saw people coming and going in Yan's Braised Meat Shop.

Ye's father asked a familiar aunt to help him go to Yan's Braised Pork Shop and buy a portion of each braised pork.

The Yan family's braised pork shop was crowded, and it took a while for the aunt who helped buy the braised pork to come back.
