When the two sisters saw Wang, they called sweetly in unison: "Auntie! ”

"Where's Daddy?" Wang asked as he walked over.

Xu Yue gave a small half bowl of oil residue to Ah Niang, and replied: "Daddy went to the mill to grind noodles, and wrapped pork dumplings to eat at noon, Ah Niang, this oil residue is delicious, you can taste it." ”

Wang picked up one and tasted it, pushed the oil residue back, and let the two sisters eat it themselves.

"Isn't it delicious?" Xu Yuehu asked.

Wang nodded, of course it was delicious.

But looking at the little men of the two sisters, he said with a smile: "You are still growing your body, eat more to supplement nutrition." ”

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang glanced at each other, feeling both warm and heart-piercing.

With the small bodies of the two of them, I'm afraid it will take another ten years to become adults, it's been a long time~

Not long after the mother and son stayed in the kitchen, Xu Da came back with the ground flour.

When he entered the door, he complained about the old lady in the mill and scolded him for wasting time, grinding flour all morning, which affected other people.

Xu Yue dipped her hand in some ground flour and looked at it, it was very delicate, almost the same as the refined flour of later generations.

Immediately happily took the flour clay pot and told Xu Da that his scolding was not in vain, "We will have dumplings to eat soon!" ”

The family's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were looking forward to it.

Since the night she settled in the county seat, Xu Yue took out the leftover quick-frozen dumplings in the small kitchen of the research room and fried them for her family to eat, and the fried dumplings have become the white moonlight that the family wants but can't get.

With fine flour, this wish can be fulfilled in no time.

The development of noodles in Daqing has been very mature, and there are people on the street who specialize in selling fermented syrup, and if you want to make steamed buns in the future, you can also eat.

Xu Dalang is responsible for rolling the dough, Xu Da is responsible for chopping the meat filling, Xu Erniang is responsible for the fire, and Xu Yue is responsible for technical guidance and seasoning.

Wang, who was tired for several days, was ordered by his family not to work, so he sat under the eaves and baked a small stove, quietly watching the family members in the kitchen busy.

When all the ingredients were ready, the family washed their hands and gathered around the kang to make dumplings.

Except for Xu Yue, everyone else has just learned, so the dumplings wrapped out are also strange, but because they are dumplings made by themselves, they taste exceptionally delicious.

Xu Da cooked two large bowls of sea, dipped in vinegar, and the family of five ate until they could support it, lying on the kang and sleeping in a row, satisfied and happy.

was lying down, there was a commotion outside the door, and then the courtyard door was slammed!

The family of five glanced at each other, sat up from the warm kang, the mother and son stayed in the house, and Xu Da went out to open the door.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

As soon as the courtyard door opened, two officials rushed in, and Xu Da almost thought that he had committed something and was going to be arrested and imprisoned.

As a result, when I asked, I actually came to collect taxes.

"Collecting taxes? I don't know what kind of tax the poor master is talking about? Xu Da asked cautiously.

I thought that Liu Rong had clearly said that they were newly settled refugees and could be exempted from taxes for one year, so why did they suddenly collect taxes again?

At this time, it was also very lively outside the door, and many officials came to Beicheng, knocking on the door to increase taxes and fees, and everyone was as confused as Xu Da.

Obviously, nothing like this had ever happened before.

An official carried a gong in his hand and shouted while knocking:

"The new documents above, this time the collection is the winter tax, each household according to the head, a child under the age of ten is fifty yuan, and one person over ten years old and under fifty years old is one hundred yuan!"

There are a bunch of poor people in Beicheng, and their lives are already very difficult, and now they can go out with Master Xu to make some hard-earned money, and they still want to have a good year this year.

But I don't want this document to come down, and I actually have to pay an additional Andong tax that I don't know what it is, just suddenly, which makes the already not rich family even worse.

Xu Yue's family can get this money, but this kind of confusing way of raising taxes makes people unhappy.

And the preferential policy of tax exemption was said before, which is useless at all.

In the face of Xu Da's inquiry, the official who came to collect taxes pointed to the gate of the city and said, "Look, how many refugees have come from the south to the north?" ”

Master Xu's famous officials have also heard that his own fire kang is now being coiled by the brothers of the fire kang gang led by Wang Dayou, and his attitude towards Xu Da is quite gentle.

He sighed: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, since the release of the list of sheltering the victims, only you two have come to our river, and none of them have seen anything else." ”

"If there are no victims, how can we continue to implement the policy of relief?"

After that, he didn't want to waste any more saliva with Xu Da, so he motioned for him to pay the tax money quickly.

At this time, acquaintance Liu Rong walked in, and when he saw Xu Daben, he smiled helplessly and said:

"The twelve counties in the entire Hejian County are the same, and you are not the only ones, we officials also have to pay the Andong tax, Brother Xu, you quickly pay the money and go into the house to warm up, this money must be nothing to your family."

His eyes seemed to say, I know that your family is not short of money, so don't pretend to be poor.

Xu Dake didn't know that Liu Rong saw so many prey brought back by the Wang family yesterday, but when he was joking about bringing people to Pan Kang, he smiled flatteringly, didn't say anything anymore, and went into the house to get the money.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang are under the age of ten, as long as they pay 50 yuan, Wang, Xu Da, and Xu Dalang have 100 yuan each, and a family of five must pay 400 yuan.

Xu Yue took out the money from the research room, her heart, liver, spleen and lungs were hurting, and she was entangled with Xu Da for two back and forth, but she was snatched away by Xu Da, her little face collapsed, and she fell into depression in her sister's arms.

Wang patted his little daughter's head soothingly, "It's okay, tell your father to earn it back for us later." ”

Xu Yue felt a little better, and when Xu Da sent Liu Rong and the others back, she couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Daddy, why do you have to add an extra winter fee? Could it be that the Hejian County Treasury is already too poor to open the pot? ”

Xu Da shook his head, there wasn't much news he could know, but when he was pankang in the Taishou Mansion a few days ago, he heard a little bit of news about Yanzhou.

Xu Da poured himself a cup of hot water to moisten his throat, and asked:

"Do you remember when we went to Puyang, Dongjun, and met the reinforcements of the Yuan clan from Jizhou on the way?"

Xu Yue nodded, she still remembered that there was a young white-faced general in the Jizhou army.

"Before, the young lady said that Jizhou was going to eat Yanzhou, which is indeed true, but Jizhou probably didn't expect to kill a Xuzhou Cao clan halfway, and before the arrival of the Jizhou army, he killed Yanzhou Mu first, and then recruited the Red Turban Army to bring them under his command."

"Now that the Jizhou reinforcements have not returned, I guess the so-called Andong tax increased this time is related to this matter."

Hearing this, Xu Yue immediately looked at A-Niang.
