Chapter 46: Crazy Chopping

Yun Yao was almost scared to death. Playing the board, she felt that she might not be able to stand the board.

"My lord, what do you mean by paying land tax?" She asked cautiously.

"Haha, you little girl, why don't you even know that you have to pay field tax for farming?" The short official had just received her money, and then he explained a few words in a good-natured manner.

"Regardless of paddy fields and dry land, you have to pay taxes, our prince has been exempted and exempted many times, as long as you pay 6 liters of grain per mu, your 20 acres of dry land, to the autumn harvest also have to pay 120 liters of grain."

How much is 120 liters...... Yun Yao didn't know anything, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly followed Li Xin after thanking the official errand.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll help you." The big cow, who had been silent, spoke.

"I'm not afraid, I just want to know, how many pounds is 120 liters?" Yun Yao glanced at Da Niu embarrassedly. It's been a long time since no one used liters to measure rice, how can she be a little nurse who understands this!

Da Niu was stunned by her stupid question, and Li Xin on the side had already answered for him: "One liter is almost one and a half catties, and 120 liters is 180 catties." ”

Hearing him say that it was 180 catties, Yun Yao's hanging heart fell to the ground. It's just 180 catties of rice, and it's not rice, even if it's rice, it's not worth a few dollars, right? I bought it for a few hundred dollars.

But that's too light, isn't it?

"Why do you collect so little? Only 180 catties are harvested in 20 acres, how can the rest be eaten? ”

This can't be blamed on Yun Yao, she hasn't seen the production of the Great Wilderness, and it is calculated according to the well-known yield per mu of 1,000 catties by modern people.

Li Xin sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't know what the origin of this little cloud girl was, and she didn't know the crops like this. He turned his head to look at Yun Yao's white and tender hands and face, and then at his eldest son, and couldn't help but have doubts about the prospects of the two of them. If the son really marries Xiaoyun home, I'm afraid he will have to provide for it, right? How can their family afford it!

"There is not much left, and when the year is good, you can only get more than 100 catties of grain per acre of land, and you have to pay some other taxes. After a hard year, I can barely eat my stomach. Da Niu took the trouble to explain to her.

"So little...... she forgot that this was a great wilderness, the land was barren, and the grain production was extremely low.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's getting warm these days, I'll go open up some wasteland and come out, and I won't be hungry after all." Da Niu said, and he had already begun to think in his heart about the wasteland that was close to home and could be cultivated.

The atmosphere was a little sluggish, Yun Yao had just said so many stupid things, and he didn't dare to ask anymore at this time. After completing the household registration, Li Xin didn't accompany them, and went to Li Qiang by himself to see if he had bought a lamb. Erniu can also herd sheep at the age of 9, and he also wants to buy a few to raise back.

"Let's go see if the shoes are ready, shall we?" Li Xin left, and Da Niu's demeanor was a lot more relaxed.

"Okay." It just so happened that Yun Yao was going to buy a few pairs of embroidered shoes for Tang Peipei.

The two walked along the street for a short time before they arrived at the shoe store, which was really not big in Qiyun Town.

"Boss, are our shoes ready?"

The boss was taking his daughter-in-law to make shoes in the shop, and as soon as Yun Yao entered the door, he saw it, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly moved a stool and invited them to sit.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you." The boss hurriedly removed two pairs of shoes from the most conspicuous place on the counter and carefully handed them over. It is rare to find such a complete deerskin, and he hurriedly finished it and put it in the store, and the rest of the skin was immediately ordered, and this time he could make a lot of money.

Yun Yao took the shoes and looked at them, feeling very satisfied. Both of these shoes are ankle boots, with soft leather and natural patterns, which look beautiful and extremely comfortable to wear, and she doesn't want to take them off when she wears them.

Da Niu also took off the leather boots on his feet and replaced them with deerskin boots, and when he saw Yun Yao's happy appearance, he had a smile on his face.

"Help us wrap up our old shoes, and I'll take a look at some nice embroidered shoes."

When the boss saw that she still had to buy shoes, he was even more happy, and he was busy finding them a wrapping leather to wrap up the shoes, and asked his mother-in-law to fetch the finest women's shoes.

Because every time she comes, she is a big deal, and the boss takes out some fine products this time, and those pairs of shoes are all well-made, with a water mille-feuille white cloth sole, and the upper is all made of fine silk, embroidered with a variety of different patterns.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Yun Yao's eyes were dazzled. Da Niu also bought her a pair of cloth shoes, but she hasn't taken them out to wear them, and this time the shoes are much more upscale than the ones I bought last time, and they are not shabby at all when given to Pepeke.

"This pair of big red embroidered peonies, this pair of stone blue embroidered mandarin ducks, just these two pairs, how much is it?" She picked Tang Peipei's size, which was just right for her to match the skirt last time.

"You are a regular customer, I will quote you a real price, these two pairs of shoes are a total of 300 yuan, and the small shop only earns a manual fee." The shopkeeper smiled and picked up the two pairs of shoes to display, "Look, the soles of these shoes are all made of a whole piece of cloth, and there is no zero cloth head, you look at this upper, this shoe is full of real materials." ”

Yun Yao looked carefully according to his instructions, and indeed as he said, every detail was exquisite.

"Okay, at the price you say."

Anyway, she is not short of silver and soft sister coins now, and a proper loser will help her physical and mental health.

Da Niu sat on the side and watched her pick out shoes and buy shoes, without saying anything. Xiaoyun's money is all earned by himself, and he can spend it as he wants, and he won't blame anything at all.

After buying the shoes, Yun Yao looked at Da Niu apologetically: "I still have to go to the Cloud Cutting Pavilion, there are more things to buy this time, why don't you do your own thing first?" ”

"I'll send you there first, and I'll also go to the apprentice's carpentry shop." Da Niu consciously picked up the burden and accompanied Yun Yao out.

"You two go well, I'll give you the lowest price for anything next time!" The shoe store owner waited until he was outside the door before turning back.

Yun Yao wants to buy 12 pieces of clothing at once, and they all have to be sold to modern times, she doesn't want Da Niu to follow all the time. With so many clothes gone all at once, he must be suspicious, right?

Seeing that Yun Yao was here again, Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly invited them to sit down and drink tea.

"Here you are, I'll go to the woodsmithing shop. If you buy too much and can't hold it, I'll come back and pick you up. Da Niu looked at her deeply, and turned around and went out without drinking tea.

"Got it, you're busy with you, don't worry about me, I can go to the restaurant and wait for you by myself." Yun Yao smiled and waved his hand, and when he was far away, he smiled and said to Shopkeeper Chen: "Is your son-in-law better?" ”

"Well, much better, although I still have some cough, I don't have asthma these days. Our old boss specially instructed that if the girl comes again, he must invite him to the house as a guest, and he will thank you well. ”

Shopkeeper Chen was very praised by Mayor Fang for introducing Yun Yao for Fang Liangyu, and he was in a good mood these days.

"Miss Xiaoyun, are you free today?"

"Forget it today, I still have a lot of things to do." Yun Yao didn't want to take advantage of others, she just gave a few casual points, and she didn't help others to treat their diseases, so she couldn't afford to thank them.

"Okay then, what are you going to watch today? I'll have someone bring it to you. "The shopkeeper Chen doesn't force it, and the business is more important when the customer comes to the door.

"It's still the kind of clothes I bought last time, 2 taels of silver a set, I'm going to buy more today." Yun Yao smiled and took out the list. It's all money, and she's going to have to pick it carefully.

Buying a fine silk skirt? Do you want to buy a lot? Shopkeeper Chen glanced at Yun Yao, and saw that she was wearing the small pink and blue flowers, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Miss Xiaoyun obviously doesn't like that style, what is this going to do?

In any case, the door-to-door business cannot be left undone.

"Okay, then you come here with me." Shopkeeper Chen led her to the boutique area and showed her those precious silk clothes one by one.

"Look at this, the peach-pink eight-piece Luo skirt is the most flattering to your fair and delicate skin. There is also this one, a ten-color fine pleated moon dress, each one is a different color, and the patterns on it are painted by famous painters in Shunhe County, the color is as elegant as the moon, and a young woman like you wears it more gracefully. ”

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the fine embroidered skirts in the store and couldn't stop.

"And this ......"

"Stop!" Yun Yao was dizzy by what he said. Last time she noticed the skirt, she didn't expect there to be so many different styles, how can she choose!

"Why don't you tell me my request, and you can help me get the right clothes?" She shook the slip in her hand.

"Okay, you say."

"A set of light purple waist-length skirts, trumpet; A set of pink high-waisted skirts, with a transparent outer veil, medium size ......" Yun Yao said one by one, and Shopkeeper Chen helped to choose, and after a while, he took out all the 12 clothes she wanted.

"Is that enough?" Shopkeeper Chen narrowed his eyes with a smile. Although this girl makes a lot of money, she is not ambiguous at all when she spends it.

Thinking about the items Tang Peipei wanted, Yun Yao turned her head to look for it again: "I also want a few embroidered fans, a few purses and sachets, and if I have a headband, I can also take a few." ”

Shopkeeper Chen called the young man to pack those clothes, and at the same time went to get the things Yun Yao wanted, "Look at it, are you satisfied with these?" ”

Satisfied, so satisfied! Especially those fans, I don't know what material they are, they look like they are transparent, double-sided fine embroidery, and with sandalwood fan handles, which are completely exquisite handicrafts.

Pepe should be happy now.

Thinking about what Tang Peipei had done for herself, Yun Yao decided to let out another handful of blood.

"I'm going to pick out a few more muslin dresses, you'll have to give me a cheaper price."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and nodded again and again, and personally accompanied him to the ordinary ready-to-wear area, Yun Yao picked and chose the ground, and took two muslin skirts.

A bean green one for himself, and a white one embroidered with golden lotus on a white background for Tang Peipei.

Buying clothes seems to be prone to inertia, and Yun Yao can't stop picking it up. Medium clothes, middle pants, belly pockets, handkerchiefs, she bought a lot more.

"Okay, okay, I can't buy it anymore, I really have to chop my hands if I buy it again!" Yun Yao sighed and looked at the loot piled up in front of him, "Settle the account for me, and buy so much today." ”
