The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 580 Going to Crescent Town

After settling the accounts of Gongzhong, Mrs. Ye waved her hand and everyone dispersed, but Mother Ye was left behind.

Now, Mrs. Ye has left all the matters of the Ye family to her mother, but Mrs. Ye still has money from the father-in-law.

Ye's mother is responsible for taking care of the Ye family's accounts, while Mrs. Ye is in charge of the family's money.

Old Mrs. Ye gave Mother Ye ten taels of silver, which was used for family expenses this month. The excess will be refunded and the less will be replenished. If there is not enough, Mrs. Ye will be asked to take it.

However, Mrs. Ye didn't intend to keep managing the public money. Sooner or later, she would have to hand it over to Ye's mother.

She and Ye's mother revealed that when Ye Xilin gets married, the father's money will also be handed over to her to take care of.

When Mrs. Ye was young, she was thin-skinned and mild-tempered. Now she has been trained by Mrs. Ye, and she has become more and more smart and capable, taking care of the house in order.

After two more years of experience, Mrs. Ye can safely hand over the company's money to her hands.

Mrs. Ye has also saved a lot of private money over the years. When her grandson gets married, she will be a rich and leisure old lady.

She and the old man had worked hard for the Ye family for most of their lives, and it was time to enjoy peace and happiness.

The children are grown up, and their children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and you can't control them for the rest of their lives.

Some time ago, the Tang family just killed 9 fat pigs, and Tang Xiaojing wanted to catch a new batch of piglets to raise.

If you want to catch the little piggy, you naturally have to find Ye Xilin.

Just after breakfast, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing came to Ye's house to look for Ye Xilin.

At this time, Ye Xilin happened to be feeding pigs in the pigsty. Knowing that the two wanted to buy piglets, he took them to the pigsty on the homestead next door.

Now there are two litters of piglets in the pig pen, one of which is just half a month old, with a total of 10 piglets.

The other litter is a larger one, 25 days old, with a total of 11 chubby little piglets.

The big piglet has just started to be weaned recently and can already eat some soft pig food.

Tang Xiaojing took a closer look at the older piglets. They were quite strong and lively.

Ye Qingqing on the side didn't understand this, she just came to join in the fun.

Tang Xiaojing asked for the big litter of piglets, which cost 220 coins each, a total of 2 taels and 420 coins.

Ye Xilin happily took the money and said very thoughtfully:

"These little piglets are still a little small now. We will keep them for about 10 days. Brother-in-law, you can come and take them away."

"It's easier to raise them when they are bigger. You won't get sick easily when you take them back."

Tang Xiaojing patted Ye Xilin's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll come back in 10 days to catch the piglets back."

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Xilin excitedly, "We are going to Yueya Town to buy bean dregs for pigs later. Brother, do you want to go with us?"

Ye Xilin shook his head, "I just went to Yueya Town to buy bean dregs a few days ago, so I won't go."

"Okay, let's leave first." Ye Qingqing pulled Tang Xiaojing and started to go back.

Ye Qingqing was very excited to go to Yueya Town. She had not been to Yueya Town yet.

When they got home, the two men took out the bullock cart. The bean dregs take up a lot of space, and the young couple each leads an ox cart.

When Da Huang and Xiao Huang saw the ox cart, they jumped on it excitedly as a conditioned reflex.

Then they were mercilessly driven down by Tang Xiaojing. They still had to look after the house at home.

Not in a hurry to buy bean dregs, Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing to Crescent Town first.

Today happened to be the crescent town's big gathering, and Tang Xiaojing took an excited Ye Qingqing around the town.

There is actually no difference between the big market in Yueya Town and the big market in Luohe Town, except that there are more people and the bustle is more lively.

When Tang Xiaojing usually comes to Yueya Town, he always goes directly to Youfang to buy bean dregs. This is the second time he visits Yueya Town's market.

Most of the stalls in the market were food and daily necessities. They felt similar to those in Luohe Town. Ye Qingqing was a little disappointed.

The two of them walked around, and Ye Qingqing only bought two snacks that he had never seen before, but the taste was very ordinary. After two bites, he didn't want to eat them, and they ended up in Tang Xiaojing's stomach.

After walking around, Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing to a small restaurant by the river.

This restaurant is built by the river. All the dishes here are based on fish. It is a specialty restaurant specializing in fish.

Ye Qingqing ordered a 6-pound grass carp to be eaten three times a day.

The fish head is used to braise tofu, the fish meat is used to make pickled fish, and the remaining fish skeleton is used to make mustard soup.

As expected of a restaurant that specializes in fish, the fish meat is tender and fresh, with no fishy smell at all. A 6-pound fish was eaten clean by two people.

The two of them had a delicious meal, which only cost 46 Wen in total. Ye Qingqing thought it was quite a bargain.

"The fish cooked in this small restaurant is very good and the price is affordable. Let's come here to eat again next time." As soon as he was full, Ye Qingqing was thinking about the next meal.

Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing's hand and walked out of the small restaurant, "Okay, I'll bring you over to eat fish next time."

The two drove the bullock cart to the Li family oil mill.

The Li Family Oil Shop was on the outskirts of Crescent Town, and the two of them arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.

There is a particularly conspicuous plaque at the door of the oil mill, which says Li Family Oil Mill in tung oil.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing led the bullock cart into the yard. As soon as they entered, a middle-aged man came forward enthusiastically.

"Boy from the Tang family, I haven't been here for a long time. Do you still want bean dregs today?"

Tang Xiaojing introduced Ye Qingqing: "This is the boss of Li Family Oil Shop, Uncle Li."

"Hello, Uncle Li." Ye Qingqing greeted obediently.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Li Feng, "Uncle Li, we are here to buy bean dregs today. We need 2000 kilograms of bean dregs."

Li Feng said to Tang Xiaojing with some embarrassment:

"In recent years, more and more people are raising pigs. I couldn't sell the bean dregs before, but now I don't have enough to sell them. There are only about 2000 kilograms of bean dregs left in the warehouse."

The oil-pressed bean dregs can not only be used to feed pigs and donkeys, but can also be used to fertilize fields.

In the past two years, more and more farmers and breeders have come to the oil mill to buy oil residue. The oil mill often does not have enough okara to sell.

"And the price of this bean dregs has increased a bit now, from 100 cents per 15 kilograms to 100 cents per 18 kilograms."

"Another price increase? Uncle Li, has the price of this bean dregs increased too frequently?" Tang Xiaojing was a little unhappy.

In the past few years, the price of bean dregs has increased from 100 cents per 10 kilograms to 100 cents per 15 kilograms, and now it is even 18 cents. The price has also risen too much.

Li Feng said in embarrassment: "Uncle, there is nothing we can do. The price of soybeans has increased, and the price of bean dregs must also increase."

In the end, Tang Xiaojing spent 270 yuan to buy 1500 kilograms of bean dregs.

Although the price of okara has increased a lot, it is still much cheaper than sweet potatoes and corn.

Moreover, there is oil in the okara, and pigs will grow meat quickly after eating it.

1500 pounds of bean dregs may seem like a lot, but the Tang family raises dozens of big pigs. This 1500 kilograms of bean dregs is barely enough to last for half a month.

Tang Xiaojing thought to himself that he was going to find other oil shops.

Li Feng also knew that the price of bean dregs had risen a lot, so he gave the two of them half a catty of soybean oil with a flattering expression, hoping to stabilize the Tang family as a big customer.

Tang Xiaojing accepted the soybean oil, but he still had to find a new oil mill, otherwise the pigs at home would starve.
