Niu Hao came to Nanshikou to find the fish seller. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fish seller is still on the side of the road.
Rectangular face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, majestic appearance. A square scarf wrapped around his hair on his head, and he was wearing a water-green gown.
This look, this dress, no matter what, he will not be a fisherman on the Qingjiang River. Not even a casual angler.
On the side of the Qingjiang River, there are always some rich men who have leisure feelings, bringing tea, wine and food to the riverside for fishing.
But those people, no matter what they fished out of the river, would not run to the mouth of the south market and stand straight and sell their catch.
The fish in the seller's hand had just been bought. Holding two taels of broken silver in his hand, he followed the flow of people and walked forward.
Niu Hao saw the fish seller and followed from a distance.
In front of the market, there was a commotion, and it looked like someone was fighting. Let the people who buy and sell things around them all stay aside.
The man who sold the fish squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.
Niu Hao also squeezed in, squeezed to the person who sold the fish, the man glanced at Niu Hao, and his eyes fell on the top of Niu Hao's head.
Niu Hao's hairpin was given by the seventh grandmother.
That hairpin saved Niu Hao's life, and Niu Hao regarded it as a treasure.
Niu Hao squeezed into the man who sold the fish and grinned at him as an apology. The fish seller moved to the side to make way for Niu Hao.
In the open space surrounded by the crowd of onlookers, several people were arguing.
There is a big man in the middle, and his body frame is far taller than Niu Hao. A pair of burlap trousers, a pair of straw sandals. The upper body wears a fur outward-facing animal skin shoulder, revealing two thick arms.
At the feet of the big man, there were a few hares for sale.
It looks like a hunter in the mountains.
Around Orion, there were three men. I don't look very old, and I'm not tall. The appearance of the three of them is very arrogant.
The three of them were noisy and noisy around Orion, and the Orion was silent.
Niu Hao turned his head, and there was an old man standing beside him, his face was black and smelled of fireworks, and he looked like a charcoal seller.
Niu Haochong asked the charcoal seller:
"What's going on?"
The old man who sold charcoal shook his head and muttered:
"I met the wicked. ”
Niu Hao glanced at the three people in the crowd, and asked the old man who sold charcoal:
"What the hell is going on?"
The old man who sold charcoal looked at Niu Hao and said:
"Those three came to collect taxes, and the hunters didn't want to give them. There was a commotion. ”
Tax?
Niu Hao glanced at the three young men again and asked:
"The people who collect taxes are the people of the government. How can they be wicked?"
The old man who sold charcoal replied hummedly, and said for a while:
"The people who come to collect the official tax are the people from the government. ”
Niu Hao asked:
"They're not from the government? ”
The old man who sold charcoal seemed to be really annoyed by Niu Hao's question, staring at Niu Hao, with a look, "You are a rich young master, why are you asking so much." ”
Niu Hao could see the mind of the old man who betrayed Tan, and then said:
"I have nothing to do, I'm idle. Tell me, maybe I'm in the mood to reach out and take care of this gossip. ”
The old charcoal seller glanced at Niu Hao, but he didn't make a sound, and he already snorted in his stomach.
Niu Hao said to the old man who sold charcoal:
"Tell me about it, and let me hear what's going on. ”
The old man who sold charcoal couldn't stand being entangled by Niu Hao, and said:
"What Nanshikou does is our kind of land abandonment business. After the sunrise is three poles, the government has a special tax officer to collect the stall tax. Five dollars per stall. ”
The old charcoal seller said and glanced at the three young men.
"Ten days ago, there were so many people who suddenly came to collect the security tax. Twenty dollars per stall. If you don't pay the money, you won't be allowed to do business in Nanshikou. This Qingyang City does not allow vendors to walk the streets and alleys. A business like ours that abandons the land can only be done in Nanshikou. I sold charcoal for a day, and after deducting the five taxes from the government, I could not have twenty dollars left. ”
Niu Hao looked at the old man who sold charcoal and asked:
"Who are these people?"
The old charcoal seller turned his eyes to look in the crowd, and then he said to the corner in the distance:
"That's their leader. What do you want to inquire about, ask him how it is. ”
Niu Hao followed the old man's guidance and looked over.
A big man in his thirties, leaning on a cart, nibbling on a green pear. Probably because the green pears were too sour, they threw them on the ground after two bites, and picked up another one from the basket and gnawed on it.
On the side of the car, the man selling pears had a bitter face, and he dared not speak angrily.
Niu Hao turned his head and asked the old man who sold charcoal:
"They are not from the government, but they come here to collect taxes, don't those officials care?"
The old charcoal seller couldn't stand Niu Hao's endless questions, shaking his head and squeezing out of the crowd.
The big man Orion, who was surrounded by three people, seemed to be annoyed by the three people. Pick up the hare on the ground and leave. One of the three took the hare.
Orion's eyes widened, and the other man said to Orion:
"You've been standing at Nanshikou Station all morning, and you want to leave without handing over?"
The one who snatched the hare raised his hand and said:
"These rabbits, even if you pay taxes. ”
The big man Orion stared at the three people in front of him, clearly angry.
And with his tall frame, the three people in front of him together will not be his opponent.
But the big man lowered his head, turned and walked out.
The one who snatched the hare said to the back of the big hunter:
"You remember to me, if you want to do business in Nanshikou in the future, you should obediently prepare the security tax money. ”
Then, he turned his head and shouted at the onlookers:
"All of them, as long as they come to Nanshikou to do business, they all have to pay taxes. No one is exempt!"
Seeing that the big man was about to squeeze out of the crowd and leave, Niu Hao suddenly said:
"You wait. ”
The big man turned his head to look at Niu Hao when he heard the sound, and Niu Hao yelled at the guy with the hare:
"You, bring Lao Tzu's rabbit!"
The three people in the crowd originally walked towards the big man in the corner who was lying on the cart. Hearing Niu Hao's shout, they turned their heads one after another.
In the corner, the big man also followed the voice to look at Niu Hao and sat up straight.
With Niu Hao's roar, Ah Fu pulled the pious girl tightly, squeezed away the fish seller next to him, and stood in front.
The matter was already over, and those who were watching the excitement were about to leave, when Niu Hao suddenly roared and called all those people back. Surrounded Niu Hao and gave up a vacant lot.
Niu Hao's clothes are bright, and he looks like a young master of a rich family.
But whose young master it is, how rich the family is, and how powerful it is in Qingyang Mansion, I can't see it.
The three people in the middle of the crowd turned their heads to look at the big man in the corner, and the big man looked at Niu Hao, not knowing what Niu Hao wanted to do.
Niu Hao pointed to the man carrying the rabbit and roared again:
"What about you, deaf!"
