The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 603 Saving Money

Originally, Ye Qingqing felt that he had a lot of money and was quite satisfied with having so much family property.

After returning from visiting the house in the county, I felt that I was still too poor and the Tang family's financial resources were still too thin.

Although all three of them are quite profitable, the Tang family is small and generally not as profitable as the Ye family.

If the Ye family fell in love with that big house today and each person scraped together 100 taels, they could actually buy it easily.

Unlike them, they didn’t even bring enough money.

After returning home, Ye Qingqing asked Tang Xiaojing to figure out what he had at home that could be converted into money in the near future.

Tang Xiaojing thought for a while and began to count in detail.

"The five jars of medicinal wine I brewed before have already taken enough time. It's just that the summer harvest happened some time ago and I didn't have time to get them to the pharmacy."

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up, "How much money can I earn from five jars of medicinal wine?"

"Most of the medicinal materials in the medicinal wine were picked up from the mountains. A small part of the herbs and spirits were bought in the pharmacy. After deducting the cost of ten taels of silver, I can earn about 40 taels of silver."

Ye Qingqing smiled brightly and took the notebook to write and draw in it, while continuing to ask:

"This medicinal wine is quite profitable. My husband, please think about it again, are there any others?"

"All the honeysuckle on the mountain has been picked, and it weighs about 85 kilograms. It costs 55 cents per catty, so here it is 4 taels, 675 cents. "

"I was busy with the summer harvest some time ago, and my family's long-term workers didn't have much time to pick mushrooms or use traps to catch prey."

"There is only a small batch of mushrooms and bacon in the cellar now. I can probably get 20 taels of silver from selling them."

When he heard that there were 20 taels of silver, the smile on Ye Qingqing's face became even brighter.

"There are two litters of pigs in the pig pen, and they will be ready for slaughter in 10 days. But when the bacon is ready and sold, it will be a month later."

"Chicken Spatholobi can only be picked after the autumn harvest, and most of the other herbs on the mountain can only be picked at the end of the year."

"As for the rabbit sent to Liang's restaurant, it doesn't cost much, so that doesn't count."

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing had taken stock, Ye Qingqing continued to talk about his income.

"The embroidery I'm doing now is almost finished. It should be sold for more than 30 taels."

"The things I will use for making embroidery next time have already been bought at the dock last time. These 30 taels of silver can be used for all."

Ye Qingqing took out the abacus again and fiddled with it, "The amount of money that can be obtained in a short period of time totals 94 taels and 675 coins."

"Including the silver I saved before and the 150 taels given by my father, the total is 632 taels and 675 Wen."

Calculated in this way, based on the money the two of them had, the big house could definitely be bought.

However, Ye Qingqing wants to buy a small house like the one the Ye family bought today, with beautiful scenery, mountains and rivers, and a comfortable place to live.

Ye Qingqing also studied with his father and brother, and this quiet environment made him calm down even more.

In fact, Ye Qingqing also took a fancy to that small house, but seeing that the Tang family and his son didn't like it very much, and that her mother's family liked it very much, she didn't say anything.

However, Ye Qingqing is not in a hurry when thinking about buying a house. The children are not here yet, so he should save more money first.

Tang Xiaojing had the same idea, he still had to save money first.

Ye Donglin, his wife and Ye Xilin, who stayed at home, were shocked when they found out that Father Ye and the others had bought the house.

Is your family already so wealthy? If you want to buy a house worth more than 300 taels, you can buy it.

Most of the houses in the town are well-informed. If you inquire carefully, your ancestors can find out the details for three generations.

There was a mixed bag of people in the county, but the three of them really didn't think about buying the house in one day.

Old Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Xilin with a kind face, almost bursting into laughter.

"Xilin, come with us to the county tomorrow. There might be something good missing in this wealthy family's house."

"Hahaha, it's up to me to hunt for treasure."

Ye Xilin smiled wildly and glanced at Ye Donglin and Ye's father provocatively.

The father and son suddenly felt itchy in their hands and stared back unwilling to be outdone. I'll let you stay for two more days, and you'll feel better when you come back from the county.

Seeing Ye Xilin's embarrassed look, Mr. Ye couldn't help but kicked him.

Ye Xilin grimaced in pain, while Father Ye and Ye Donglin laughed very loudly.

Then the father and son were also beaten.

Mr. Ye felt that everyone's expectations were too high, and analyzed them very rationally:

"This house is where my young master studies and lives. Don't worry about gold and silver jewelry. They are probably just small jade pendants and other worthless things."

Old Mrs. Ye smiled heartily and said, "My requirements are not high. I have only ten taels of silver, which is enough to furnish the house with all the things it lacks. I will be satisfied."

Ye Xilin yawned again and laughed boldly:

"Mistress, you are so worthless. What's the use of ten taels of silver? If you don't get back the money to buy the house, you can find a hundred or eighty taels."

Then Mrs. Ye slapped her and called her over.

"No matter how big or small, I think you are crazy about money. If you can't find anything to come out tomorrow, you won't be allowed to have dinner."

Ye Xilin nimbly dodged Mrs. Ye's slap and asked with a smile on his face:

"If I find something good, is there a reward? Can you share half of it with me?"

Mrs. Ye raised her big slap again, "Would you like a slap?"

Ye Xilin had just escaped Mrs. Ye's attack from the front, but unexpectedly, she was attacked from behind by Father Ye and received a slap on the back.

"The braised pork shop hasn't had much business lately, so I'll go there tomorrow too."

During the last treasure hunt, Ye's father was busy setting up a stall on the pier to make money and almost didn't participate. This time he said he couldn't miss it.

Ye Donglin pushed Father Ye away and looked at Mrs. Ye with a flattering look.

"I want to go too. I didn't participate in the last treasure hunt. I must go this time."

The father and son did not fully participate in the last treasure hunt at the old house, and they have always been upset.

Mrs. Ye was just about to scold the father and son for being useless when she noticed that Mother Ye and Wang Chunyu were looking at her with big watery eyes.

And Mr. Ye next to him said that he also wanted to go together.

Mrs. Ye glanced at these careless guys and said, "The whole family has gone to the county. Who will feed the pigs at home?"

Ye Xilin had already made arrangements, "I got up in the middle of the night, cooked the pig food for the morning and lunch, and fed the pigs in the morning before going out."

"Isn't sister at home at noon? Just ask her to come over and feed the pigs at noon. I have helped him feed rhubarb and small huang several times, so she should repay me."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the Tang family and asked Ye Qingqing to come over and feed the pigs tomorrow.

Ye Qingqing knew that when the whole family went to the county, they must be hunting for treasures, and she felt itchy in her heart. She really wanted to go together.

However, Ye Qingqing is still very measured. Talking about money can easily hurt feelings.

She and the rest of the Ye family deliberately did not inquire about the money of both parties.

At night, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but think, was there any surprise in the big house?

Wang Chunyu had heard Ye Donglin talk about treasure hunting in the old house before, and he was very excited when he thought of going to the county house to hunt for treasure tomorrow.

At night, Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin tossed and turned in bed, too excited to sleep.

The one who slept the best in the whole family was probably the big-hearted Ye Xilin, who even snored a little.
