Chapter 364 Results
Ye Erlang came home very late in the evening. After he and Lao Wang closed the door, they prepared the dried meat for tomorrow.
When Ye Erlang returned home, the clothes on his back were still wet.
Ye Qing brought him some water. Ye Erlang was so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands.
"Qingya, you are the one who had the idea to ask Xiaoyan to help in advance. There were so many people there today that the door was almost squeezed down." Ye Erlang felt scared.
The family was very happy to hear this, "Business is so good, do you want us to help tomorrow?"
Ye Erlang refused and just asked Xiaoyan to help for two more days.
There were fewer people buying jerky the next day, and those who bought it yesterday had not been finished yet.
The reason I came here today is because I heard others say that the jerky is delicious, so I came to buy some to bring back for my children.
Xiaoyan worked hard for three days before Ye Erlang gave him a red envelope and let him go.
Business wasn’t as good as the first three days, but it wasn’t bad either.
The passing boats all like to come over and buy some food for the journey.
Ye Qing had just rested for a while at home when Tietou came.
"Qingya, our Thirteen Spices are selling well. Many restaurants in the city have heard about it and come to buy Thirteen Spices."
Ye Qing had been living so comfortably these past two days that he had forgotten all about Thirteen Spices.
After hearing Tietou's words, he embarrassedly picked up the account book on the table and slowly looked through it.
Last time they made so many spices and sold them all. It hasn’t been that long since then, so shouldn’t they have a lot of money in their account?
"Brother Tietou, please settle the bill for the peppercorns we bought first and give them the money." Ye Qing didn't like to drag on with payments.
Tietou agreed, and the ones they made purchases from these times were all from companies with which they had good relations.
"Qingya, a caravan came yesterday and ordered 500 kilograms. They also said that if the sales are good, they will come back to place more orders."
Ye Qing was happy. He stood up from the chair and walked around the room twice.
"If we take this business, we can make a lot of money, rebuild the workshop, and have money in the account." Ye Qing had money in his hands and dared to make arrangements.
Tietou agreed immediately. He had experience in building workshops and the mosquito coil workshop was built under his supervision.
Tietou reported the budget for building the workshop to Wei Hong. Wei Hong found the accounts from previous years, and the money spent by several workshops was recorded, which made it easy to compare.
Ye Qing kept several pieces of land, all of which were reserved for building workshops.
Ye Qing and Tietou chose a place next to the mosquito coil workshop to facilitate future management.
Tietou took people to work, and Ye Qing asked his family to help design a logo for Thirteen Spices so that people would know it was Thirteen Spices at a glance.
Ping An was the most proactive person at home, so Ye Qing gave the task to him.
After he finished the design, Ye Qing gave him five taels of silver.
Ping'an was also a smart man. He looked for his classmates in the private school to design together. Whoever's design was adopted would be given one or two taels of silver.
Wei Xin laughed at him for being able to make money at such a young age, and he could earn four taels of silver in just a few transactions.
Li didn't have time to take care of these things, so she went to the village entrance to talk to some elderly people in the village.
These old people are worried about their grandchildren and are counting the days until the exams, which should be out by now.
The head of the village was also worried about it, so he left the village affairs to his son and waited for news at the entrance of the village.
Ye Dalang works in the government office, so they will know the news first, but these old people can't sit still at home and have to wait at the village entrance.
Ye Dalang has been going to Wu'an City frequently recently, so he wanted to get some information in advance.
As soon as he arrived at the yamen that day, a familiar yamen runner congratulated him in advance.
"The people from the prefectural city are here to deliver the results. You came at the right time today."
Mr. Ye thanked him greatly and went in to inquire about the results.
The legal advisor in the yamen had a good relationship with him and revealed a few words.
"Your village is doing well this year. Someone has made the list. I will go to the village today to deliver the news."
Ye Dalang handed over the wine in his hand and thanked him for giving him the news.
After Boss Ye went out, he asked Big Eyes, who was helping to drive the cart, to hurry back to the village and tell them so that the villagers could be prepared.
Ye Dalang has to be busy in the yamen, and today the yamen runners have to be divided into several groups to deliver the good news, as there are not enough people in the yamen.
Soon the list was posted. Ye Dalang helped to post it and took the opportunity to look through the list.
Several brothers in the family are on the list, and Sun Hang is the youngest and ranked last.
There were also two children from the village private school on the list, with Ye Zhu and Wang Xin ranking at the bottom.
Ye Dalang was very happy. The private school in the village had only been open for three or four years, but it started to produce good results.
The person who went to Kaoshan Village to deliver the news was their old acquaintance Zhang, the yamen runner. He did not follow Lord Wu to the provincial capital, but stayed in Wu'an City and continued to work as a yamen runner.
Big Eyes has already gone back to report the news, and the villagers are very excited.
Because no one knew whose child was on the list, no one in the village went out to the fields and waited for the news.
Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li were the most nervous as they had two grandsons and two great-grandsons taking the exam.
Wei Xin’s second brother also attended the event and has been talking about them at home these days.
The head of the village also had the gate of the ancestral hall opened, and he personally went in to burn incense, praying that more good seedlings would be born in the village.
Following Ye Dalang's instructions, Zhang, the yamen runner, hurried with his men and arrived at Kaoshan Village at noon.
They were startled when they entered the village. Most of the villagers were looking at them eagerly.
Zhang Yayi and his companions understood this feeling. It was really not easy to prove a scholar now.
The head of the village was shaking a little. Supported by Ye Fang, he slowly walked in front of Zhang the yamen runner.
"Sir, I am the head of the village. May I ask how many people from our village are on the list this year?"
The officer Zhang was also very polite and revealed it in advance.
"Ye Lizheng, there must be six people from Kaoshan Village on the list."
The village head was so excited that he could hardly stand. Ye Tao, who was standing next to him, supported his other arm and patted his back to calm him down.
Zhang, the yamen runner, saw that everyone was here, so he took out the list and read out the names.
Is Ye Chenze’s family here? They are number 16 on the list.
Shen was shaking with excitement and coughed twice before she could make a sound.
"Here." Tears fell in an instant.
Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li supported each other, and tears appeared in their eyes.
"Is Sun Hao's family here? Sun Hang is ranked 29th on the list."
Ye Qiu, who was happy for his nephew just now, now pulled Wei's hand beside him in disbelief and confirmed with her before agreeing loudly.
Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li supported each other and sat down. They wanted to take it slow as their children had grown up.
Wei was a little anxious. Several children at home who had taken the exam had all received their results, but he had not heard about his child's results yet.
"Is Ye Zhu's family here? She's number twenty-two on the list."
"Is Wang Xin's family here? He's number twenty-fifth on the list."
"Is Ye Chenyi's family here? He's number 27 on the list."
The village was in an uproar, and the yamen runners went to each family's home to post the congratulatory notices according to their rankings.
Families who were going to take the exam prepared a red envelope.
Ye Qing went to help his second aunt and helped pass out the wrapped red envelopes.
Wei Xin was excited but nervous, and he mustered up the courage to ask Zhang the bailiff.
"Sir, has anyone in Jicun passed the exam to become a scholar? My younger brother is also going to take the exam, but I wonder if he passed."
