Chapter 33 It's Time to Pay
Remember in a second【.】
"Oh, two guest officers, are you going to sell watermelons?"
This melon farmer is more than ten years old, but the perennial wind and sun make him appear older than his actual age, but he is very shy, especially when he sees such a beautiful girl, he doesn't even dare to raise his head.
Xue Yutang looked at this shy melon farmer, smiled and shook his head, but Yue Wuying covered his mouth and chuckled lightly, in her feeling that this shy melon farmer was more real.
"Pick one for me!" Xue Yutang handed over a piece of loose silver.
When the melon farmer saw the silver tattoo handed over by Xue Yutang, he didn't dare to take it: "Guest officer, I have ten dollars for this melon, and I can't find your silver!"
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment, to be honest, since he came here, no matter what he eats or does, he uses silver, he really hasn't used this copper coin, for Xue Yutang, even when he was messing around with Wang Fatzi, he squandered it when he had money, and when he didn't have money, he went to pit playmates like Zhao Dayan, so for ordinary people's lives, Xue Yutang didn't understand, Wang Fatzi lived by begging for food at all, since he was with Xue Yutang, he no longer had to worry about eating and drinking, and he had never seen copper coins.
Ordinary people may not be able to save one or two lines of silver a month, one or two lines of silver is equal to a thousand dollars, a money can buy a bun, the basic expenses of an ordinary family, a month is between 100 to 100 yuan, and a better one is only 500 yuan, and a master like Xue Yutang who thinks about how to get a restaurant every day is basically unimaginable for ordinary people.
"It's okay, you just pick one for us!"
"Guest officer, you can't use all the money you buy my pile of watermelons! Don't you bring change! In this way, I'll give you two yuan to taste, no money!"
Xue Yutang smiled, this melon farmer is so cute, and this piece of broken silver is already in his place
It's change.
"Okay, just give you this piece of silver, and you can just pick a watermelon for us!"
"Guest officer, this is not good, your piece of silver has to be two or two, I don't dare to accept it, if you don't quench your thirst with two pieces of watermelon, then I'll give you one!"
Although the melon farmer was very reluctant, he still slapped the watermelon pile for a while, picked a relatively large one, took it, cut it with a knife, and handed it to Xue Yutang and Yue Wuying, but when he handed it to Yue Wuying, the melon farmer trembled slightly, just glanced up, and immediately lowered his head.
Xue Yutang looked funny, and didn't say anything: "Brother, can you find a stool for the two of us to rest for a while?"
When the melon farmer heard this, he quickly took out two maza and handed them to Xue Yutang, Xue Yutang broke the maza and sat down, and ate the watermelon without any image.
"Yutang, what are you doing here?"
Xue Yutang looked at the county government while eating watermelon: "I'm waiting for someone!"
"Wait for someone, who are you waiting for?" Yue Wuying was even more curious!
Xue Yutang smiled and didn't speak, but chatted with the melon farmer without a match: "Brother, how is your melon harvest this year?"
The melon farmer sighed: "It's okay! I will sell this melon for some money all year round! This year, there is enough rain, and God is still open, and I didn't let this melon rot in the ground!"
Xue Yutang said strangely: "What's the matter? This melon can still rot in the ground?"
The melon farmer replied: "This watermelon planting is more complicated than growing food, and the requirements for rainwater are relatively high, when the watermelon grows, it needs a little more rain, so that it can grow bigger, and when it begins to mature, it needs more sun, so that the melon can have some sugar, so that the melon can be sweet.
If the melon is about to ripen, the rain will be heavy, not only will it not be sweet, but it will rot in the ground!"
Xue Yutang said "oh": "Since it is easy to grow food, why not grow food?"
The melon farmer smiled bitterly: "We have little land here, and the grain we grow is not enough to eat ourselves, let alone exchange money, but the family can't help but tear up their clothes, don't buy firewood, rice, oil and salt, where can we get this money!"
Xue Yutang pointed to the county government: "Don't you care about these county masters?"
The melon farmer spat hatefully at the county government: "These old officials don't care whether our people live or die! Just like that, we still have to pay the poll tax and the land tax every year, and we can't get a few pieces of silver a year, and we can't earn a few dollars all year round, and they have robbed them!"
The two were talking, but they saw a servant walking out of the yamen, a man with a fat head and big ears, a hat crookedly, a shy stomach, and walking towards this side step by step, the melon farmer saw this servant, and his face immediately fell, rummaging for something, but he only took out ten coins after turning over for a long time, held it in it, and cried and mourned as if he was ready to go to the execution ground, and stood up.
Xue Yutang sat on the side eating watermelon as if she hadn't seen it, but Yue Wuying frowned, she knew what this group of servants meant to ordinary people.
After a while, the official shook to the stall unhurriedly, glanced at Xue Yutang and Yue Wuying with the corner of his eye, and when he saw Yue Wuying's appearance, his eyes were obviously bright, and he stared at Yue Wuying for a long time, but he didn't dare to step forward, he could see that the identities of these two people sitting were definitely not ordinary, but looking at the clothes of this body, it was not something that ordinary people could wear.
"Old crooked, it's time for you to pay the booth fee!"
The melon farmer, who was called the old crooked, handed ten coins to the official with his rough hands!
