Ten vegetable buns are equivalent to ten cents.
Niu Caohua thanked her and went to find her father happily.
When we arrived at the place where taxes were paid, there were far fewer people, and it was Niujiacun's turn.
Niu Caohua saw her father and ran over and handed her a meat bun: "Dad, you must be hungry."
I must be hungry. I haven't even had a drop of water or rice in my body yet, and my chest is already pressed against my back.
Niu Dadu took the meat bun and couldn't wait to eat it.
While eating, there was suddenly a burst of angry curses inside, as well as Li Zheng's continuous apology.
"What's going on in your village? You dare to fool us with such millet!"
"You are Li Zheng, see for yourself. Not only are the millet sprouts sprouting, but they are also wet and dripping with water. Also, why are there stones in it, eh?"
The tax collector sneered again and again. That's exactly how this old guy got into it. He couldn't even manage the food tax in his own village. Fortunately, he checked carefully. Otherwise, he would have suffered a lot if he collected such food. .
"I'm really sorry. It's my old eyesight that's blurry. Let's change it right away!" Li Zheng was bent over. He wanted to bury his head under his feet after being scolded, but he was cursing in his heart.
How dare you bring such food to me!
It made me feel so embarrassed now.
After replacing the problematic basket of grain with a good one, the grain tax was finally paid. Before leaving, he was severely scolded by the clerk and asked to send an immortal to pay taxes next time.
"Whose family does this belong to?" As soon as Li Zheng came out and saw the villagers huddled in a corner, his face suddenly grew long and he said coldly.
No one said anything, but they heard what was said just now.
The one who has no problem will definitely deny it with all his strength. The one who has the problem will be so guilty that he is not willing to shrink into a crack in the wall.
"I ask again, whose family does this belong to?" Li Zheng's patience disappeared little by little, and he couldn't even care about the crowd of people watching around him.
Still no one came out to claim it.
"I know, it's Bai's!" It's still a familiar voice, still a familiar person, Lin!
Mrs. Lin didn't recognize him at first, but she had sharp eyes and focused on keeping an eye on the Bai family next door.
He could even tell when the Bai family went out to pour out the chamber pot.
Each family's baskets for carrying grain are different. For example, the baskets in Li Zheng's family are newly made, and the bamboos are still a little green. Her own baskets are very old and broken in several places. They are made of straw. The vines were mended and looked tattered.
Bai's house is half-old and half-new, except for one of the baskets that is a little broken. Bai is poor and generous, so she tied it with a piece of cloth, which made it conspicuous.
Mrs. Lin didn't recognize it at first because she was too hungry and a little dazzled, but her strong willpower still allowed her to see the rag head.
Isn’t this just recognizable?
"Bai, you're very good!" Li was looking at the man huddled in the corner, wishing he could wrap himself up in a ball, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.
"I, I..." Grandma Bai opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to defend herself.
She thought it wouldn't be found out. In the past, she had mixed in a lot of stones when paying taxes, but it wasn't found out. Why did it happen this time...
On the other side, the beef tripe had finished three meat buns and two vegetable buns, feeling full.
Niu Caohua also took a bite of the vegetable buns, and her face wrinkled.
No wonder the steamed buns are so unpalatable with so many vegetables. The vegetables inside are so old that they get stuck in your teeth.
What to do with the leftover vegetable buns?
"Grandpa Lizheng, don't be angry, eat the buns." Niu Caohua rolled her eyes, trotted to Li Zheng, who was still breathing fire, and handed over the buns in his hand.
Li Zheng, who was still cursing:?
What the hell, why did someone give me steamed buns?
Taking another look, it turned out to be the little girl from the village tail idiot's family. She was dressed in patched and shabby clothes, with a dark face, looking at her timidly.
For some reason, Li Zheng's anger suddenly subsided, and his eyes became a little softer: "The buns are not cheap, you can keep them for yourself."
Niu Shanma: Dad, if you don’t want to eat it, you can give it to your sons.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his brother Niu Shanbao pulled him, his eyes widened: "Shut up."
He could tell what his brother was thinking at a glance.
"Grandpa Li Zheng, this bun is free. I just helped the bun shop and the shop owner gave it to me." Niu Caohua added silently in her heart: The buns are not delicious and cannot be sold.
Seeing that Li Zheng still didn't answer and was about to say something else, Niu Caohua put the bun directly into Zheng's arms, turned around and hid behind Niu Dadu.
Li was about to come over and return the buns to them, but when he saw the looks of the father and daughter, he changed his mind.
Hey, how pitiful they are, please take more care of them in the future. Lili thought to himself, and finally took the bun.
Niu Caohua followed his father's example, bending his waist, arching his back, and lowering his head, just like two half-dead quails.
When Niushanma saw it, the food was coming. He couldn't wait to join his brother and came to Li Zheng's side. He swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands. The meaning was self-evident.
"Eat it, be nice to them in the future, and don't bully other people's children." Li Zheng took a bun for himself and gave the rest to his two sons.
"Don't worry, Dad, Niu Dadu will be our brothers from now on." Niu Shanma opened his mouth and put a bun directly into his mouth, his voice muffled.
"Why are they vegetable buns?" Niu Shanma was still a little dissatisfied.
"If I can't stop your mouth, give it to me if you don't want to eat it. What do you have to dislike about something you got for free?" Niu Shanbao slapped his brother on the head.
Li Zheng also nodded silently, but which store this steamed buns are from? They are all Lao Caibangzi. Remember this next time you buy steamed buns. Don't go to this store.
"Ms. Bai, forget it this time. If there is a next time, don't stay in Niujia Village anymore. Get the whole family out of here. You can take the food back with you. Also, Niu Feng paid the tax for you. Remember Give it to others." Li Zheng saw Bai and said angrily.
"Thank you Lizheng, I won't dare to do it next time." Grandma Bai was overjoyed.
After Li Zheng announced free activities, Niu Caohua and Niu Caohua ran away impatiently, as if they were being chased by a dog.
After Niu Shanbao and Niu Shanma finished their buns and were about to go find their good brothers, they found that Niu Dadu and his daughter had long since disappeared.
drug store
Huichuntang
The old doctor took the dried locusts in his hand, pinched them, smelled them, looked at them carefully for a long time, and nodded: "The quality is good, and it has been dried very well. If the quality is like this, our drug store will accept it." "
As soon as Niu Dadu entered here, he felt like he had shrunk again. He hid behind Niu Caohua, saying nothing and shivering.
