The Reborn Lady is Farming

  Mu Shi took his daughter to Fangzheng to pay the tax and get the stall.

In the past, bazaars and grass markets did not pay taxes, allowing the common people to freely set up stalls to sell small things, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has been defeated in battle over the years. Therefore, the commercial taxation is extremely heavy, and even the fairs in the townships and the grass markets in the countryside are included in the tax collection.

In the past, Xingyuan Mansion had to pay taxes when entering the city when it was not a border gate. Later, because Xingyuan Mansion became a border gate, in addition to ordinary taxes, it was forced to raise army salaries from time to time. I had to cancel the city entry tax and some miscellaneous items, but that's it, the extra tax burden that I have to pay every year is also very heavy.

  There are fewer people setting up stalls now, even if they come late, there are still stalls to choose from.

  Mu Shi was already a regular customer in the market, so Fang Zheng gave him a sign as soon as he saw him and said, "The stall you used to use happens to be empty, take it."

  Mushi thanked him, paid the tax with the copper plate, and then pushed the cart to his booth.

   Mu Yangling sat cross-legged in the back and asked curiously, "Dad, is that auntie relative? Why haven't I seen her?"

   "She hugged you before. You refused to breastfeed. She taught us to feed you with rice soup, and that's how she supported you."

Yeah? Mu Yangling's eyes were full of doubts, she had memories since she was born, how could she not remember?

Mu Yangling tilted his head to think carefully, which made Mu Shi laugh and said: "Silly girl, you didn't remember at that time, how could you remember? Don't think about it, your aunt hasn't come back since you were four years old. You have never seen it when you have passed our village."

   "Is the great aunt married far away?" In this era, only those who married far away did not return to their parents' home.

  Mu Shi shook his head, "No, it's in Xishan Village at the back of the mountain. It's very fast after going over the mountain to the west of our house."

   Mu Yangling was surprised, "Why didn't the aunt not go home? Yes, the mountain is dangerous, and the aunt is old and has to take a long way."

   Although Xishan is not as dangerous as the mountain in front of their house, it is lush and lush, and there are still beasts infested, so most people don’t go over from Xishan, and most of them have to take a long detour, which can take an hour longer.

   Mu Shi shook his head, "It's not like that." Mu Shi pondered: "Your aunt is married to the Ma family in Xishan Village, and she has only one son, your cousin..."

   Aunt Ma Liu's life was not very good, it could even be said to be miserable.

She lost her husband at a young age and managed to pull her eldest son, but his son died early because he was involved in a fierce fight, and his daughter-in-law was severely injured trying to save her son. , and now she has only two granddaughters to depend on each other.

Mu Shi said: "Your cousin was brought up by one of his cousins, but their family not only apologised, but also blamed your great aunt for the incident, saying that she was a child, and that your uncle and uncle are here. If you can't help her, your aunt is disheartened and has never returned to her parents' home."

Mu Shi said that he was also very apologetic, "In those days your great aunt was not mean to me, but all these years my father has been thinking about you, and he has forgotten her. She was alone with two young children, and she was taken by her uncle's children. My daughter-in-law is running, and I don’t know how I’m doing in Xishan Village.” Mu Shi said that he felt more and more uncomfortable, and his face became a little ugly, “When I get home, my father will go to Xishan Village to see your aunt.”

Mu Yangling also had a very good impression of this aunt. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Dad, why don't I go, you are so big, and my aunt is definitely not happy when you go, thinking that you are helping them, so I think I should go. Well, Xishan is not far from our house anyway, I'm fast, I turned over in half an hour."

Mu Shi never worried about his daughter going into the mountains. Her daughter's strength is stronger than him, and her survival skills in the mountains and forests are stronger than him. Mu Shi can only classify these as talents, otherwise he really can't figure out why a nine-year-old child would Know how to guard against venomous snakes, insects and ants in the forest and identify directions in the dense forest.

   "Boss, how do you sell these rabbits?" asked a little daughter-in-law with a basket.

   Mu Shi saw that there was business coming, so he got up and smiled: "This rabbit is twenty cents a pound."

   The little daughter-in-law frowned in disgust, "This rabbit won't be dead for a long time, right? Is it worth twenty pennies?"

   Mu Shi patted his chest and said, "It was all shot this morning, don't worry, I am famous in this area and I never sell wild animals overnight."

   The little daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "What if there are the rest?"

   Mu Yangling rolled his eyes and felt that the other party's wink was in vain. Sure enough, Mu Shi replied solemnly: "Our family dried it for the night and kept it for food rations, and we never take it out."

The little daughter-in-law hesitated, but Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Little sister-in-law, the wild things in my house are the freshest on this street, otherwise if you ask around, they will all be sent on the same day, and the wild things in my house will be delivered on the same day. It's the cheapest on the street."

The little daughter-in-law was happy when she saw that she was called a little sister-in-law by a child, thinking that she would buy it wherever she wanted. This one looked really good, so she pointed to one of the rabbits and said, "Then I want this one, the boss will give it to me. I call it."

   "Okay." Mu Shi said quickly, "Three jins and nine taels, I count you three and a half jins, just give seventy wen."

The little daughter-in-law carefully counted out seventy coins from the purse to Mu Yangling, smiled slightly, and said, "If your rabbit is delicious, I will buy it next time, but let my husband taste it if it is not fresh. Then I can't do it anymore."

  Mu Shi patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, our family often set up a stall on this street to sell wild things. If you don't feel fresh after eating tonight, just come to me tomorrow."

  The little daughter-in-law left with satisfaction.

   Mu Yangling stared at the seventy pennies in the palm of his hand, and whispered, "Father, I beat this rabbit."

  Mu Shi said with a hearty smile: "Okay, you can take the money and buy candy for you and your brother later."

Mu Yangling pouted, "I don't like candy, so let's save some millet for my mother and younger brother." Shu Wanniang's spleen and stomach are not good, and her brother Mu Bowen's body is also a little weak, so you have to eat some millet and so on. of nourishing the stomach.

   Mu Shi was very pleased to see that his daughter was so sensible and caring.

Mu Shi often sells wild things here, so there are a lot of old customers, and after a while, the rest of the wild things will be sold out, Mu Yangling happily counts the copper, and said to Mu Shi: "Dad, we made five Hundred and thirty-eight words, we'll go buy some spare ribs and cook them for my mother in a while."

   "Okay, I'll buy another pound of pork belly for you to eat."

   Mu Yangling suddenly smiled like a flower, showing a small pear vortex on the left, which made Mu Shi's mood also improve.

Mu Shi took his daughter to buy pork, and Mu Yangling couldn't help swallowing. Although there was never a shortage of meat at home, wild ones were never as rich as domestic ones. In this era, except for those rich people who are tired of chicken, duck and fish meat I like wild animals more than domestic animals. Generally, people prefer to eat domestic animals because they are fat.

   Mu Yangling now prefers to eat domestic pork and chicken, because it is full of oil and water.

   Chang Butcher and Mu Shi are also acquaintances in the town. When Mu Shi has no time to set up a stall, he usually sells wild things to Chang Butcher, who then resells them.

Butcher Chang saw Mu Shi and said with a smile: "Old Mu, I heard that you made a lot of money?" There are no secrets in the town, so Mu Shi only came out of Piaoxianglou, and the news that he made eight taels of silver spread everywhere. All are.

  Mu Shi was helpless, "When I go back and pay the tax, there will be nothing left."

   Chang Butcher is also a little concerned, "Yes, this year's tax is too heavy."

   Mu Yangling probed to look at the pork on his chopping board and said, "Uncle Chang, bring me a pound of pork belly and a piece of pork ribs." The crisp voice broke the somewhat dull atmosphere.

   Butcher Chang grinned, "Okay, little lady wait, Uncle Chang will cut it for you."
