After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 50 Tribute
Erya and Sanya are studious and diligent. Although they are not proficient enough, they will be able to get started soon.

"My lord, I heard Bagh said that you grew these ingredients yourself?"

Erya looked at the potatoes curiously, and said while recalling, "It looks a bit like the squat owl from the south, except that the skin is thinner and bigger. If you use the squat owl, you can also make French fries?"

Erya is a girl who doesn't talk much on weekdays and likes to think about food, and often asks questions that Bai Fu didn't expect.

Squatting owl is also a kind of root food, which is somewhat similar to modern taro. Bai Fu has seen it in books, and it is said that it is presented as a tribute to the emperor, which is very precious.

"Are you ever seen a squatting owl?" She asked curiously.

Erya nodded, "In the past, there was a big family in the town who held banquets. My eldest sister and I were brought to help by relatives. We met once. I heard that the rich and the expensive are very expensive."

As a tribute, can it not be expensive?

Bai Fu also picked up a potato to look at, and sighed after a while, "It would be great if this potato of mine can be used as a tribute."

When Sanya came in with the basin in her hand, she giggled when she heard such a sentence.

"My lord, isn't the land tax paid every year as a tribute? I heard that people in the imperial court have attached great importance to it in the past two years, and they will confirm it one by one."

Ok?
Bai Fu was a little surprised, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

"Field tax is the product of payment? Not money?" she asked.

"Yes, you have to pay the product directly." Erya took over the words, "It used to be much more during the war, but it's better these years. Two or three out of ten is enough."

what? !

Bai Fu sat up straight, "Two or three out of ten are not many?"

Almost one-third of them are gone, so not many?

Erya and Sanya were a little stunned by the young master's reaction, "Isn't it the same way outside Raozhou?" Sanya asked puzzled, and said:

"I think it's the same way in the village."

Bai Fu thought for a while, nodded and said vaguely: "Other places are really different."

Not only was it different, she had completely forgotten about it, it turned out that she had been a professional tax evader for the past two years.
All the household chores were done by Erya and Sanya, so Bai Fu suddenly became idle.

As soon as she was free, she began to think about other things in her mind. After the shop closed that day, she decided to go to the Tiger Roaring Escort.

The Tiger Roaring Escort Bureau still had some strength in Daye Country, and Bai Fu walked for half an hour before finding their branch in Bailu Town.

The façade looks quite grand, and there are two lifelike and mighty tigers and lions wearing red silk at the door, which look majestic and upscale, and there are cars passing by in front of the door, and the voices of people are very lively.

Bai Fu withdrew his gaze from the golden plaque on the door, and walked inside.

It seemed that a batch of goods was being delivered in the lobby, and many boxes were opened for inspection. A group of people gathered around talking about something, but Bai Fu didn't attract much attention when he went in alone.

".This trip was not easy, but everything was intact"

"...Except for the bad weather, the journey went smoothly."

"Brother, I'm afraid these things are not easy to sell. Do you need our firm to help you sell them?"

Seeing that it would take a long time over there, Bai Fu found an empty table and sat down to wait quietly, looking around in boredom.

Suddenly, she sat up straight.

His eyes were attracted by a plant in that batch of goods, and he saw a few red, green and green fruits less than the size of a little finger standing in the sky among a cluster of inconspicuous green leaves.

Bai Fu squinted his eyes to identify carefully for a while, then stood up abruptly, and grabbed a person who had just retreated from the crowd to inquire.

"What kind of plant is that, I don't think I've seen it before." She said casually.

The man looked towards what she was pointing at, and explained to her with an oh.

"A plant from the ancient Dian Kingdom, which is said to be very effective in repelling mosquitoes."

Mosquito repellent?

Bai Fu walked over and smelled it, touched it again, and came to a conclusion in his heart. He endured the ecstasy in his heart and tried his best to remain calm.

"Is it really so miraculous? It just so happens that there are mosquitoes at home in summer, so buy some and go back and try. Hey, how do you sell this?" She asked loudly to the crowd.

The conversation of the group was interrupted by her, and a short bearded man with a shrewd face stepped out of the crowd.

"My lord likes this?" He asked politely while looking at Bai Fu.

"Yes"

Bai Fu smiled cheerfully, "Just now, this brother said that the mosquito repellent effect is very good. It happens that there are a lot of mosquitoes in the house these days. If it is cheap, I want to buy it back and try it."

The short man had a look of surprise and a wider smile on his face.

This batch of goods had just arrived, and he didn't know if they would be sold well. He didn't expect that someone would take a fancy to them as soon as they arrived, but...
"My lord, this item has come from a long way. It is very precious. At this price." The man pretended to be in a dilemma, while observing Bai Fu's reaction calmly.

Bai Fu showed surprise.

"It's not fake from afar, but it's just the effect of repelling mosquitoes. If it's too expensive." She stopped talking halfway, with a embarrassed expression on her face.

Is this not going to be bought at a high price?
The short man weighed it again in his heart, quoted a price, Bai Fu shook his head, the two bargained, and finally Bai Fu bought 20 seedlings at a price of [-] taels of silver.

Others couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Mosquito medicine is more expensive than a cow, this money is enough to buy a house of mosquito nets!
Could it be that this young master was cheated by his ignorance of world affairs!

The onlookers looked different.

But they only dare to think about it in their hearts. After all, the seller is their financial backer. If this thing sells well, they will be able to receive more darts in the future.

Bai Fu finished shopping for the seedlings and was in a hurry to go home, and when she was done with work there, she took out the sign that Second Brother Yao had given her, and asked the escort to forward a letter to Second Brother Yao, and then went home excitedly.

Knowing that she bought such an unremarkable seedling for 20 taels of silver and came back, everyone in the room was stunned, their expressions were indescribable.

Only Ah Shi squatted down with great interest to take a closer look.

Others don't know him, but he knows it very well. In the words of his sister A're, when did Mr. Bai grow something that wasn't a treasure?
Bai Fu transplanted the young saplings into flower pots and carefully filled them with soil.

"You don't know the goods, this is a good thing, it's called millet pepper, and it's very useful."

She said excitedly.

She remembered that the book said that chili peppers were imported from South America. Some experts retorted that wild millet peppers were found in Yunnan, and the DNA test results showed that it was an original product with a long history, and then some people jumped out and said nonsense.

At that time, Bai Fu searched the information temporarily in order to popularize science for her son, and she just casually said that she didn't take it seriously, but now she believes it a little bit.

The ancient Dian country mentioned by the salesman today is not what Yunnan was called in ancient times.

She wanted to jump back into modern times and tell which pundit she was criticizing--
You are right!

"Young master, is this really edible?"

After touching the red fruit, Ah Shi put his hand on his nose and smelled it. A spicy smell came to his nostrils, and he couldn't help but sneezed.

"can eat"

Bai Fu kept moving his hands, "But instead of eating it directly, it can be mixed with other spices to make spicy dishes."

Erya and Sanya also came closer and smelled it curiously, even young cooking experts like them couldn't imagine what it would be like to add this to the dish.

"You will know later on," Bai Fu said with a smile.
