He and Yunze got addicted to gambling together, mainly because he, a young man with nothing to do, was so idle that he went gambling with Yunze.
He never gambled by himself, either with Yun Ze or locked up by his sister at home to study and practice martial arts.
"Brother will take you to have more fun..."
Yunze smiled mysteriously at Ye Chen, dragged him to the carpentry workshop, and spent a tael of silver to buy some open wood. and some carpentry tools to be delivered to one’s residence.
Then, he went to buy five kilograms of meat, two buckets of rice, noodles, oil, and some vegetables. There are also some cooked food and steamed buns. Finally, most of the money was spent on some twine for weaving.
In addition, Yunze went to Wenfang Sibao store and bought dozens of sheets of fine rice paper and various paints.
There are a lot of Ling Ling Zongzong's things. If it weren't for the coolie like Ye Chen, Yunze wouldn't be able to carry them by himself.
This body is really useless. After repairing the loom, it is a little tired. I have to exploit my good brother to do hard work.
However, Ye Chen didn't complain, almost most of the things hung on him. However, he looked at Yunze with confusion on his face and couldn't figure out what Yunze wanted to do for a long time.
"Brother Ze, what do you want to buy these things for?" Ye Chen, who was carrying a lot of things, couldn't help but ask Yunze.
He could understand buying food, but buying a bunch of wood and tools, and buying so much paper and paint for painting. Is this a waste of money?
"There's no rush, you'll know when the time comes... Let's go... Go home with my brother for dinner first, and we'll come out later."
Yunze did not answer Ye Chen directly, he put his arm around Ye Chen's shoulders and walked home.
When Ye Chen heard this, he just scratched his head and said naively. Yunze didn't say much, and he didn't bother to ask. Anyway, as long as he had fun with Yunze, he didn't care what he was doing.
What Yunze was thinking about was this time, almost past noon.
He still had to make time to go to the temple fair held on the third day of March. This was a grand event in Danyang City. I earned the three hundred taels I owed through temple fairs.
As for the wood and tools, he was going to build a new loom. After repairing Ye Ziyan's loom, he saw the business opportunity.
If you open a weaving workshop at home, you will be able to accumulate your first fortune in a short time.
Of course, the main reason is still the Huang family. Yunze always feels that the Huang family will never give up, even though he helped Ye Ziyan repair the loom.
But if the Huang family continues to cause mischief, Ye Ziyan may be in danger, so this is a way to be prepared!
Not only can he accumulate the first pot of gold, he might also be able to help Ye Ziyan at a critical moment.
The new loom is definitely several times better than the old loom in terms of weaving speed and fabric quality.
He planned to go home and make a prototype first, and then split the parts again and let carpenters in the city complete the manufacture of thirty looms in three days.
Even if he started work late, the raw cloth he could weave would definitely be several times more than that produced by Ye Ziyan's workshop.
As soon as Yunze and Ye Chen arrived at the door of their house, they saw a teenage girl digging for earthworms with a little boy of about six years old in front of the small courtyard next to them.
"Sister, look... Xiaohu dug up earthworms, and we have meat to eat..." The little boy held a small earthworm in surprise and swallowed unconsciously.
The little girl also looked at the earthworms in her brother's hand with surprise on her face, and quickly took them and put them in the broken jar next to her.
Yunze looked at his siblings, who were all dirty and in tattered clothes, with a pity in his eyes.
These are the granddaughter and grandson of Aunt Wang next door. Her son went out to join the army three years ago, but has not been heard from since. Her daughter-in-law, her, and two underage children are the only ones left at home.
Life is very tight. I usually eat wild vegetables and occasionally some whole grains. As for meat, you may not be able to eat it all year round.
Yunze often saw the two sisters digging up earthworms to eat. After all, now is the time when children are growing up. If there is no meat to eat, they can only dig some earthworms to satisfy their hunger.
A few earthworms were not enough to fit between the teeth, but every time the two siblings were hungry and greedy, they would secretly dig in and eat them.
"Xiaohu, Xiaohua, uncle, here are some meat buns to eat. Come and eat them. Don't eat these earthworms..." Yunze took four meat buns and handed them over.
Aunt Wang usually takes care of Sister Luo Yunniang. If it weren't for her help, the two sisters would have died of hunger long ago. Yunze remembered this kindness.
Although earthworms are rich in nutrients and protein, in ancient times, no one would dig them up and eat them unless they were so hungry.
This stuff was not processed well, it was hard to swallow and tasted bad.
The two siblings looked at the meat buns handed over by Yun Ze and smelled the aroma. They swallowed unconsciously, but they did not dare to reach out to take them. There was even fear in his eyes and he hid back.
The predecessor usually had a bad temper, and his fierce look alone would scare the two little guys into hiding when they saw him.
"Yunze, you are a murderer of a thousand swords, do you want to mess with the minds of my little flowers and little tigers? Can you be a man? If you can't sell Yun Niang and Yun Xi, do you want to trick our little flowers and little tigers into selling them? ! Let me tell you, if you dare to touch them, I will fight with you, old lady..."
Aunt Wang in the small courtyard heard the commotion and ran out. When she saw Yunze giving buns to the two siblings, her first reaction was that the prodigal wanted to trick her two grandsons into selling them.
After all, the neighbors knew that Yunze wanted to sell Luo Yuniang's sisters.
In the morning, Aunt Wang had warned the two siblings to stay away from Yunze when they saw him. She was afraid that Yunze would take advantage of her grandchildren.
Looking at Aunt Wang, whose face was wrinkled, old and angry, Yunze smiled bitterly. My predecessor was so evil... alas...
He didn't explain, he could only wrap the meat buns in paper, take another pound of meat from his hand, and some rice noodles and send them to Aunt Wang.
It is estimated that Aunt Wang's family may not have uncovered the rice meal yesterday. He should be grateful that Aunt Wang could do this for the two sisters.
"Aunt Wang, thank you for taking care of Yun Niang and Yun Xi during this period. I used to be a bastard and didn't know how to cherish them. In the future, I won't. These things will be my thank you gifts."
Yunze put down his things, ignored the astonished Aunt Wang, greeted the naive Ye Chen, and walked to his yard.
Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi, who heard the commotion, came out of the house at this time. When they saw what Yunze brought back, their eyes were full of astonishment and shock.
"Ms. sir...where did you get the money to buy so many things? Did you...sell us to someone else again!"
