"I've eaten it before!" Lu Banxia was a little proud and looked up very proudly, "It's sweet, crunchy, and delicious!"
"Boss, how do you sell this fruit?" Lu Ziyuan asked, rubbing the tip of her nose.
"They're all twenty cents each."
"What? Twenty cents?" Lu Ziyuan was shocked. She thought she would hear a huge asking price, but instead, twenty cents popped up.
Twenty cents is certainly a lot for ordinary people, but for this kind of fruit that is not produced in this country, the price is indeed a bit cheap. If compared with what the Bai family buys, it is even cheaper.
"Madam, your brother just said that you have eaten this fruit before, and you know that these fruits come from our hometown. It takes a lot of effort to transport them. Naturally, they are better than those in Fencheng here.
The fruit is more expensive." The boss thought Lu Ziyuan was complaining about the high price and quickly explained, "Hey, although the weather is good this year, the fruit grows well, but if the tax hadn't been raised by 30% this year, the fruit would be
If it rots on the tree, we can only go so far to sell it."
"It's so good, why is the tax increased? Is it the landlord or the whole country?" Lu Ziyuan was confused.
"The land is all our own. We are a small country attached to this place. It was the country's leader who asked the country to increase taxes. This increase is 30% more than the original amount. In the past, we were just barely living. Now with this increase, we
If there are still fruits rotting on the trees, we poor people will not be able to survive." The boss thought for a moment, looked around, turned his eyes sensitively, then moved closer to a few people, and whispered
, "As for why taxes need to be increased, it's not because the country wants money to buy weapons and horses for war!"
"Scared~"
Lu Ziyuan took a breath, "A war? Okay, what kind of war? Is there another country invading your country? Or is there someone in your country who wants to rebel?"
"I heard that there is going to be a war. The king has been recruiting troops everywhere. As for where we will fight, we don't know. By the way, do you want this fruit?" The boss shook his head, "In this war, we flat-headed people will suffer.
common people.”
"Yes, please give me two baskets. There is an ice cellar at home. It won't spoil easily if you put it in it. You can eat it slowly." Lu Ziyuan nodded.
The boss was very happy when he heard that Lu Ziwan wanted so much, and while sorting the fruits, he said, "If I meet a few more cheerful customers like you, madam, every day, I can go home earlier to spend time with my children and my wife."
.”
"Then I wish you good luck and go home soon." Lu Ziwan asked Lian Guanlang to help. The baskets were not big. Lian Guanlang moved one, and she and her two sisters carried the other one back.
"Sister, let's come together!" Lu Banxia and Lu He excitedly surrounded a few people. Their tender little hands had no strength, but they still moved along excitedly.
"It's great to have fruit to eat every day from now on! Cousin, I really like Fencheng, and I don't like Nanwang Town at all!" Lu He smiled.
"Well, if I marry you here, you will become the daughter-in-law here, and you can live here." Qingdai teased.
"I don't want it! I want to follow my parents. Besides, if I want to get married, it's Sister Qingdai who you should marry first. Otherwise, Sister Qingdai, I'll marry you here. When the weather gets hot, we'll come here to play with you!" Lu
He shook his head like a wavy drum and pouted.
"This girl is really good at planning." Lu Ziyuan curled her lips and smiled.
Since they had fruits in their hands, they went back directly. The street was right there anyway, so they could go out for a stroll whenever they wanted.
The three adults were stunned when they saw how many people bought so many fruits as soon as they went out. He Chunmei helplessly scolded them for having to plan to spend money every day. Nowadays, they have to use money everywhere when they go out.
Don't worry, Lu Ziyuan said a few words casually and asked Da Zhuang to help move the things in.
"Brother Guan Lang, did you hear what the fruit seller said just now? The leader of their country has begun to recruit troops for a war. You said, they are a small country attached to our country and they pay tribute to our emperor every year. If there are other countries
We are about to invade them, won’t the Emperor help us?”
