Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 38 Qin Meijuan
Since he found that his clothes were all frozen after returning home, Su Dalang kept sneezing and rubbing his nose.
Upon seeing this, the old lady quickly pulled the three brothers to the stove and warmed them by the fire.
The daughters-in-law also took clothes for their husbands, boiled hot water to wash their faces and hands, and change clothes.
Old Mrs. Su was so anxious that she saw her sweetheart's trouser legs were wet.
"Ouch, what happened? It's all wet. What if I catch a cold?"
Then he turned to Su Lao San and scolded him: "It's so cold, the river is frozen, how cold it will be if you take the child to the river."
Su Sanlang nodded and said “I won’t go next time”.
After changing into clean clothes, they ate their meal in a hurry.
Su Sanlang said to his mother, "I will go to the market in town tomorrow morning. You can see what you need at home and I will buy it all. New Year's Day is coming soon, and we need to prepare the New Year's goods at home."
"Okay, I'll think about it first, and then I'll tell you when I'm done..."
The next day
Before daybreak, Su Sanlang got up early and went to the kitchen to check. He saw the fish still jumping around in the big wooden barrel, and only then did he feel relieved.
They were afraid that the fish would freeze to death last night, so they put some firewood in the stove and slowly boiled a large pot of water.
The fish were in a large wooden barrel in the kitchen, but they were worried that it would be too cold at night and the water would freeze and kill the fish.
When they arrived at the town, they found that there were more people in the town today than usual. It might be because it was the end of the year and everyone was going to the market to buy New Year's goods.
Most of the people in Taoliu Village came out to the market to sell fish today, after all, they caught so many fish yesterday.
Su Sanlang turned around and saw the tax collector again, and sighed inwardly.
He quickly picked up two not-so-small live fish and gave them to the tax collector.
This time they came not only to take up space, but their cart also took up quite a large area.
If you don't build good relationships with these people, they can drive you away in a minute.
The imperial court levied many types of taxes, including fishing tax, city entry tax, household tax, business tax, and horse and carriage tax.
The town they are in is a small town, so there is no such thing as entry tax.
But there are still other things, and the city tax must be paid, but the fishing tax and the horse and carriage tax depend on the situation.
After all, fishing tax is mainly levied on those who make a living by fishing. Only fishermen living by the river will be required to pay this tax.
Even though they catch the fish themselves and sell them at the market, if they really get serious, they will really make friends with them, so it is more important to build good relationships with them.
"The people from Taoliu Village are here to sell fish again"
The 40-something-year-old villager walked over with an expressionless face and pointed at the fish on the ground.
“You’ve already opened the market, so you should pay taxes.”
Su Laosan quickly responded with a smile, took out 18 cents and handed them to the township official, then took out two fish that he had prepared earlier and handed them over.
"Sir, the festival is almost over and we don't have any good food at home. I specially left this fresh food for you. Please try it."
The township official was not polite and took it. He nodded to the man next to him and said to Su Sanlang: "This is my colleague. He is in charge of the fishery tax."
Su Sanlang was quick-witted and quickly took out two more of similar size and handed them to the person next to him.
"It's just a small token of my respect. I just caught some fish in the river because it's almost the end of the year. I want to sell some fish to supplement my family income."
Yu Zhi also took it generously and said, "Okay, I understand, but it won't happen again."
Only after seeing these two off did Su Sanlang breathe a sigh of relief.
The other villagers were not as cunning as Su Sanlang. Basically, they collected two taxes.
While Su Sanlang was still shouting, he saw the rich man who had bought fish before walking towards him with a bulging belly.
"Oh, are you here to sell fish again? Do you have any fish as big as last time? It would be best if they are fresh. We are going to offer sacrifice to our ancestors soon and they would just come in handy."
"Yes, yes, yes, look at this one, it weighs more than 100 kilograms, and it's still alive."
The rich man nodded repeatedly when he saw it, and was very satisfied.
"I want both of these, give me a discount."
Su Sanlang replied very shrewdly: "What you said is not true. We are old customers, so of course I can't charge you a high price."
In the end, the fish was sold for more than ten taels of silver.
Su Sanlang and his friends were almost laughing so hard that their faces almost broke. Just this one fish, weighing 120 kilograms, was sold for ten taels and eight cents.
The three Su brothers didn't pack up and push the cart home until they had sold all the fish.
I originally wanted to buy more New Year goods to take back, but seeing the crowded place, I thought about bringing my mother here next time and selling them together.
When Mrs. Su saw the three brothers coming back and seeing that they hadn't bought anything, she thought the fish hadn't been sold, so she asked, "How much did you sell it for?"
"Mom hasn't ordered yet."
Su Sanlang put the purse on the table, and the three brothers gathered together to count the money.
"The total is 4 taels and wen."
"Our family is going to get rich, hehe_(:D)∠)_"
Su Sanlang also smiled complacently: "If those two fish hadn't died, there might have been more."
The brothers handed the money directly to Old Mrs. Su.
The little old lady held the purse and smiled. She took out two taels of silver from the purse and gave each of the three brothers two taels of silver, and also gave two taels to little Fubao.
Only then did he feel happy and went back to his room with the remaining money.
When Su Sanlang received the two taels of silver from his mother, he also thought about giving some to Fubao.
Unexpectedly, my mother also gave Fubao two taels. Then I won’t give it to him. After all, Guaibao is still young and I can’t keep too much money in my hands.
Su Erlang and Su Sanlang both carried heavy copper coins, and their steps became much lighter.
Su Dalang had a blank expression on his face, wondering whether he should give some of the money to Meijuan.
The beautiful girl that Su Dalang brought back from outside was named Qin Meijuan.
Qin Meijuan said that she was from the capital, and her family fell into poverty due to being framed by a villain.
After returning here, she originally just wanted to live a simple and peaceful life, but her parents died of illness not long after, leaving her alone in this world.
By coincidence, Su Dalang happened to meet Qin Meijuan after work that day and was teased by someone else. So the story of the hero saving the beauty and winning her heart unfolded.
Qin Meijuan felt that it would be a good choice to find an honest farmer to spend the rest of her life with.
In addition, Chen Dalang seems to be kind-hearted and honest.
Even though she knew that he was divorced from another woman and had two sons, Qin Meijuan still agreed to marry this simple-minded farmer.
I originally thought that the Su family would definitely accept a woman of unknown origin like me, but I didn't expect that this family was so kind and they kept me without asking any questions.
At this time, Old Lady Su came up to Qin Meijuan and asked, "Are you really planning to marry my eldest son? After you get married, you will have to be a stepmother to two children. Do you think it's feasible? If my eldest son marries you, it would be considered marrying above his station."
Qin Meijuan blushed and nodded.
