50. Chapter 50 050, Selling mint and meeting the Bai family
Several people got on the big bullock cart and first went to the wheat field to load all the wheat left there into the cart. Then several people sat on the wheat pile and let the second uncle drive the cattle and wandered toward the town.
Lu Ziwan also felt a strange feeling when she was used to riding in a car of the 21st century, suddenly switching to a slow-moving ox cart, with blue sky and white clouds above her head, and endless wheat fields in front of her.
The oxcart drove for nearly half an hour before arriving at the town. As soon as they arrived in the town, Lu Banxia and Lu He started to get ready. When they arrived at the fixed grain collection store, several people got off the oxcart, and Lu Donglin entered the store and the people inside.
The waiter negotiates.
Rice from nearby villages was brought here in exchange for money, so the waiter in the shop greeted Lu Donglin as they knew each other well, and then found someone to move the threshed wheat to the store. It was also in this store that the wheat was shipped.
Replaced with rice.
After listening to it, Lu Ziyuan realized that the wheat was exchanged for money in this way, one stone of rice was exchanged for one tael of silver, and excluding the rice that had to be taken to the government to pay taxes, her family's rice was exchanged for a total of eight taels of silver and several hundred pennies.
Lu Ziyuan also just knew that the money exchanged for rice was equal to her family's expenses for the year, eight taels of silver. Lu Ziyuan was really shocked when she heard this number.
Converted according to the RMB in the 21st century, one tael of silver here is equivalent to two hundred yuan in RMB, and eight taels of silver is equivalent to one thousand six hundred yuan. How poor do you have to be?
But after thinking about it, she also knew that her family was relatively poor in the village. She didn't have much land in the first place. Apart from paying taxes and keeping her own rations, she could only exchange so much. Besides, the productivity at this time was not good.
Being able to exchange for eight taels of silver this year already made He Chunmei smile from ear to ear.
Lu Ziyuan sighed, no wonder He Chunmei had to do embroidery work to support her family. These eight taels of silver were indeed a bit shockingly little.
After selling the wheat, they still had to go to the government to pay the grain tax. Lu Ziyuan made an excuse to take a stroll in the town, so she made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the rice grain store in two-quarters of an hour, and then walked around the town alone.
.
Now is the autumn harvest time. There are many country people like Lu Ziyuan and others in the town who come to the town to sell food. The town is also very lively. There are all kinds of gadgets sold at the roadside stalls.
.
After watching for a while, Lu Ziyuan turned her attention to the shops on both sides. She heard from the villagers that there were teahouses in the town, so her first idea was to find a teahouse to sell her mint leaves.
Lu Ziwan walked for a long time and saw a lot of restaurants and one or two teahouses. But when she stood at the door, she saw that the business of the teahouse was not very good and she didn't go in.
Lu Ziyuan planned to sell mint at a high price, and teahouses with poor business would definitely not accept it. She wanted to find a teahouse with good business and many customers, so that she could promote mint tea at once.
Kesiyunlai Tea House? Lu Ziwan stood at the door of the teahouse and looked at the signboard. She walked along and saw Kesiyunlai Restaurant and Inn. Are these opened by the same owner?
All the restaurants and inns were crowded with customers, and this teahouse had many more people than the previous teahouses. I thought this might be the busiest teahouse in town, so I walked in.
"Girl, let's see what you want~ The shop has all kinds of tea, snacks and snacks." When the waiter heard the footsteps of someone entering the shop, he subconsciously turned around and started greeting her, but was stunned when he saw Lu Ziyuan wearing cheap and old clothes.
, but there is no other expression, he is still smiling.
