Ye Qing also walked over, glanced at the bamboo with a smile and said, "It's edible, just like the fried golden cicada you like to eat."

But this one is not crispy, and the taste is worse than that. ”

Bamboo insects are rich in protein, bamboo insects are the larvae of bamboo bees, and if there are bamboo insects in the bamboo, the bamboo will be wasted.

"Well, then these ......" Qian Duoduo asked, pointing to the bamboo.

"It's useless, take it to the yard and burn it." Ye Qing said.

"Well, I don't want to eat this thing either." Qian Duoduo dragged the bamboo away.

It seems that this is not what she meant, right?

Ye Qing looked at Qian Duoduo's back and shook his head, and said to Ye Dabao: "How can we go to the town in a while, walk or take a car?" ”

"Walking, because Aunt Wu has to carry a lot of things, so the carriage is not enough. If the young lady wants to take the car, the little one will go to the town to catch the car, and it should be too late. ”

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "No need, the three of us, just one of us is dragging a bamboo, and it's not too far."

By the way, do you know where in the town there are shops that make bamboo weaving? ”

Ye Dabao scratched his head and said, "The little one doesn't know." However, Aunt Wu may know, right? ”

"Well, I'll ask her at dinner. Now, let's go. ”

Ye Qing cut two holes in the bamboo on the ground with a knife, found a rattan and tied it in a circle, and then dragged it away.

Ye Dabao originally wanted to carry the bamboo, but seeing that it was more convenient for Ye Qing to do so, he also dragged the bamboo along the way, and the remaining small bamboo with a thickness of two fingers was grabbed in the other hand.

When Qian Duoduo burned the bamboo with insects, he poured water to extinguish the fire. Ye Qing and the three of them locked all the doors of the inn before dragging the bamboo and leaving here.

Along the way, the three of them dragged bamboo and were seen by several villagers.

An old man suddenly walked over, waved at them with a smile, and shouted, "Leek girl, yes, you are?" ”

Ye Qing glanced at him and found that it was an uncle in Xiushui Village, and she was still a little impressed.

"Hello Uncle Li, I went into the city to find a master who made bamboo weaving."

"It's really a leek, what do you want to do with bamboo weaving?" Li Laohan looked at the bamboo in their hands and asked.

"What? Uncle Lee: Do you do bamboo weaving? "Looking at Uncle Li's appearance, it seems to mean this?

Li Laohan immediately laughed, "My eldest son opened a bamboo weaving shop in the city, and his craftsmanship is good." He can do whatever you want. ”

"That's a good feeling, please take us to have a look." Ye Qing said happily, this is really sleepy, so he sent a pillow.

It's better to come by chance.

"Okay, follow me." Li Laohan nodded immediately.

Ye Qing turned his head to Qian Duoduo and said, "Duoduo, you go back to the inn first and tell them, Dabao and I will go back later." ”

"Yes, young lady." Qian Duoduo handed over the small bamboo in his hand to Ye Dabao and left quickly.

Li Laohan was stunned when he heard Qian Duoduo's words.

He asked as he walked: "Leek girl, I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to have changed a lot?" I heard that you sell ...... Married to Chong'an? ”

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Li Laohan quickly changed his words, and looked at the sturdy young man behind her with some apprehension.

This leek sprout is really married to a big family?

Just now, the young man called her "Young Lady?" ”

This stout young man is also a servant of her husband's family, right?

Li Laohan was a little curious, I heard that this girl is going to marry an old man who is dying?

But look at her now, wearing clothes made of such good materials, there is no sorrow on her face, and she is not like it.

If she really marries an old man, can she still take her servants to wander around here?

Ye Qing didn't care, she nodded and said, "Well, I'm married." No, I just came back to see my father yesterday. ”

"Then you, this is the door!" Li Laohan asked.

"Sort of." Ye Qing didn't need to explain anything.

Li Laohan, who couldn't help but wonder, still asked, "What does your father-in-law do?" How old. ”

Before Ye Qing could speak, Ye Dabao helped answer: "Our uncle, sixteen this year, is already a talent!" After speaking, he glanced at Li Laohan very proudly.

"Then leek bud, you are now a talented lady! That's a great thing, blessed are you. Li Laohan was stunned at first, and immediately complimented.

"It's at the gates." Ye Qing didn't answer Li Laohan's words, stopped, and was inspected by the city gate guards.

Ye Dabao suddenly asked, "Uncle, is your shop far from here?" ”

"Not far, not far. It is more than 30 zhang away from here, near the Tang family's carriage and horse shop. ”

Ye Qing saw that he was about to leave after the inspection, but he was blocked by an officer and soldier.

The officers and soldiers glanced at the bamboo they were carrying, and said expressionlessly: "Take three bamboos into the city and pay three cents." ”

Ye Qing was stunned, but he quickly paid three cents for entering the city to an officer and soldier, and didn't say much.

After entering the city, Ye Qingcai asked Li Laohan, "Uncle Li, do you know why you have to collect the city fee today?" ”

"Yesterday, the tax collector began to collect it, and those who didn't bring goods don't need to be collected.

Those who brought goods said that they would be charged commercial tax, and they would be charged according to the value of the goods they brought.

Take one out of thirty, and after a few days, you will have to collect a tax on people.

This is a big tax, the old man, my family has a large population, and the twice-a-year tax will worry about the old man. ”

1 out of 30?

Ye Qing pulled the corners of her mouth, she brought bamboo in, and she didn't want to sell it.

It is also said that her three bamboos, which are not worth more than a dozen yuan, were valued at 90 yuan, which is really black.

However, she didn't ask the officer and soldier who collected the money before, mainly because she didn't want to get into trouble for the three cents.

"Uncle Li, how much does a person have to pay in the tax?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

Li Laohan said with a bitter face: "Alas...... Here we are, the government levies taxes in summer and autumn every year, summer and June, autumn and November.

Men over the age of fifteen pay 2 stone of grain every year, 2 zhang 4 feet of linen, and 3 catties of hemp.

For women, it is halved, and children over the age of three pay one-tenth, and if they don't, they pay money. ”

"That's quite a lot, children have to pay it, I've never heard my father mention it." Ye Qing frowned.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't seem to know, Li Laohan sighed with emotion: "Leek girl, there is no such thing in your family."

Your father is a showman, and he can be exempted from the tax of three people.

It seems that there are still people who read at home, so it's good!

If someone in your family is promoted in the future, then even if there are thirty people in your Ye family, the tax will be exempted.

By the way, isn't your husband a showman, is he going to take the exam in more than two months? ”

Ye Qing shook his head, "No, my father-in-law has passed away, and we have to keep filial piety for three years." ”

Li Laohan was just about to say something, when suddenly Ye Dabao shouted next to him: "Miss, it's here, this is the bamboo weaving shop." ”

"yes, that's it, let's go inside." Li Laohan glanced up.

Then he stretched out his hand and hugged the bamboo in Ye Qing's hand with both hands, "You let go, I'll pull it in."

Ye Qing let go of his hand, but he didn't expect Li Laohan to almost fall to the ground.

"I'd better come, this bamboo is a little heavy." Ye Qing looked at Li Laohan and said with some difficulty.

Li Laohan smiled awkwardly, gave a thumbs up and praised: "I heard that you have a lot of strength before, but it turns out that what they said is true." Your father is so blessed to have a daughter like you. ”

Ye Qing just smiled faintly, she looked half-stupid before, how could those people have good words.

As soon as I entered, a woman wearing a red embroidered gown with a purple dress walked out of it, and greeted Li Laohan with a smile.

"Dad, you're back. What are they? She glanced at Ye Qing and Ye Dabao and asked.

Li Laohan said with a smile: "This is the leek girl of the Ye family in the village, and her father is Master Ye of the Egret Academy."

That orchid, you go make tea first, you have to make tea, and I'll talk to you later. ”

After Li Laohan finished speaking, he took Ye Qing to the hall very enthusiastically.

Ye Qing sat down at the table, and she found that there were many bamboo woven products on the shelves not far away.

The unfinished bamboo weaving rests against the wall, and the thick and uniform silk is woven into small bamboo baskets, as well as baskets and the like, which looks very exquisite.

Ye Qing couldn't help but take a few more looks, it seemed that this Master Li's craftsmanship was good.

Li Lanshi poured tea for them, looked at Ye Qing and said with a smile: "These are all bamboo knick-knacks, and the big guys are all in the backyard."

My father-in-law hasn't come back yet, I don't know Sister Leek Bud, what are you going to do with bamboo weaving? ”

"I want to make a small bamboo house, one zhang high and one zhang wide.

Also, I'm looking at what else I need to buy here. Ye Qing took a sip of tea and said.

The bamboo house is a little more spacious, so that the small rice balls can also live more comfortably.

"Make a bamboo house? One zhang high, one zhang wide, that person can't live? Li Lanshi was stunned, isn't it very simple to build a bamboo house, why not do it yourself?

"It's not for people to live, it's for the flower bears I raised." Ye Qing said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Li Lanshi frowned.

Her husband is a bamboo weaving craftsman, and she does fine work, isn't it overkill to get a bamboo house where such a small pet lives?

But this fat girl still has to buy other things, so Li Lanshi said in a thoughtful tone: "I'm afraid, I don't need to do it."

The bamboo house is not a delicate job, go back and let my father-in-law's apprentice go over to help, do you think it's okay? ”

Ye Qing nodded, as long as he can make a bamboo house, he doesn't have to be too particular about living in Xiao Tangyuan.

She glanced at the delicate bamboo weaving, and planned to ask Master Li to make herself a beautiful bamboo house and bamboo furniture when the time came.

Ye Qing put down the teacup and said, "Sister-in-law Li, I'll come back in a few days." Now give me two bamboo baskets first, well, and sell me that bamboo box as well. ”

"Okay, just give me sixty-five dollars." Li Lanshi went over and brought over what Ye Qing wanted.

The price was not expensive, Ye Qing paid the money very happily, shouted Ye Dabao, who was still looking at the bamboo weaving, and quickly left.

When they left, Li Lan pursed his lips and said to Li Laohan: "Dad, didn't you say that this fat girl is developed?"

Didn't give us any big deals. It's a waste, I have a good pot of tea. ”
