Chapter 74 The fish market stall fee has increased

In Longtan Town, the notice board next to the fish market was full of people, everyone stood there talking and whispering.

Shen Shi and Yu Shi happened to be passing by with a wooden cart, seeing so many people gathered there, their curiosity was aroused all of a sudden, they put the wooden cart aside one after another, squeezed into the crowd, and looked inside.

A notice was pasted on the notice board. It was written in black and white, and it was written in a flying style. It looked like the handwriting of Mr. Wu from the county government.

"What did you write?" The tofu family was also crowded in the crowd, and turned to ask a cleanly dressed woman beside her, who couldn't even penetrate her eyes.

"I don't know, I just posted it." The woman shook her head, and glanced at her mud-stained clothes with disdain!

The tofu family smiled indifferently, gave her a squinting look, and then squeezed into the crowd on his own.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a young man in a long gown was pushed from the crowd to the front of the notice by the crowd laughing and joking.

Others whistled.

"Xiucai, read it to us quickly, what is written on it?"

"That's right, what are you writing? Quickly read it." Someone next to him said loudly.

The young scholar stroked his clothes, cleared his throat, turned his head and glanced arrogantly at the crowd, stepped forward and read: "I tell the folks in Longtan Town that due to the recent unrest at sea, people are in a state of panic, so the government is worried about the people's concerns. Specially send a few maritime patrols to comfort the people, but..."

"I'm talking about scholar, what the hell are you showing off?" Before Xiucai finished reading, he was kicked from behind by a big man, who frowned impatiently. "Wouldn't it be over if you just say something?"

The scholar was suddenly kicked, staggered and almost fell down.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"That's right! Xiucai, it's not that you are asked to take the No. [-] Scholar exam. You said that reading a notice is more difficult than a woman's childbirth!" Someone on the side also complained.

Who has the time to listen to your poor yells here, I haven't sold my fish yet!

Xiucai was kicked inexplicably, dumbfounded, Xiucai met Bing.He couldn't explain clearly, and he couldn't explain clearly when he encountered mud legs. He shook his head and said loudly to the crowd: "Master Lu said that the sea is not peaceful. More people are sent to patrol the sea. The money has to be obtained from the government. However, the government has no money, so it has to pay from the stall fee in the fish market, so from next month, the stall fee in the fresh fish market will be doubled. That is, one tael of silver per month, if you want to continue to buy stalls .Go to the government to prepay the booth fee for April!"

"What? A tael of silver? Oops, stealing money!"

"That's right, I thought five hundred cash a month was a bit much! Now it's one tael, tsk tsk, there's no need to sell this fish!"

……

Everyone was talking and very angry.

After hearing this, Shen Shi and Yu Shi angrily withdrew from the crowd.Pushing up the cart, he walked into the fish market with a dark face and a silent voice.

This government.So fucking black!

The fact that the booth fee had doubled spread like flying all over Longtan Village.

The whole Longtan Village exploded in an instant!The fishermen got excited and got together to discuss whether the fish could still be sold?

When Zhao Shun saw those fishermen walking towards his house noisily again, he immediately stood at the door with a bitter face, spread his hands and said, this is an order from the government, and there is nothing he can do about it!

You can't help it. When did you have a way?

Everyone rolled their eyes at him, walked around him, and entered his yard.

On the contrary, Mr. Zhao looked very calm when he heard this. He looked at the angry crowd calmly and said, "Everyone, don't panic, and don't be angry. The price increase of fish market stalls is not a matter of our village. Now, isn’t the money going up only next month? Hold on tight, let’s see how other villages react, and don’t get confused.”

"Father, it's time to go to the government to ask for an explanation. The increase is too much. It has doubled all of a sudden. Who can afford it?" Xiao Chenghai stood in the crowd and said, "We dare to thank you for our hard work. Working hard at sea, all the hard-earned money paid for booth fees!"

"That's right, how much money can we make a year? If we pay so much all at once, we'd be willing to sacrifice our lives to the government. Those maritime patrols won't even show us how to fish. Why should we be remembered when we pay? ?” Liu Qingyu also had a look of injustice.

"That's right, why do you ask us to pay this money?"

"It must be the government's excuse to take this opportunity to make some money. Do you think we are fools?"

Everyone was whispering again.

"Okay, everyone go back! This way, anyway, there are still a few days left in this month, and you can sell whatever you want, and you don't have to rush to pay the booth fee," Mr. Zhao persuaded, "Let's wait Wait and see."

Seeing that Mr. Zhao had spoken, everyone dispersed this time.

A few days later, a carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Zhao Shun's house, Zhao Ziliang got out of the car and entered Zhao Shun's house yard.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhao Shun couldn't help sighing when he mentioned the increase in booth fees.

"Don't worry, chief, I'm here for this matter!" Zhao Ziliang said straight to the point.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhao's opinion is?" Zhao Shun looked up at him in disbelief. These days, Zhao Ziliang was in charge of all affairs at sea and became a regular visitor at home, so he naturally regarded him as a guest of honor.

Father Zhao on the side heard this, and frowned quietly. Could this Zhao Ziliang be so kind?He glanced at the guest with complicated emotions.

"I'm willing to pay this fee to help everyone, but I have conditions." Zhao Ziliang quietly glanced at Mr. Zhao, and said with a smile, "After all, my money didn't fall from the sky. If there is no benefit , I naturally wouldn’t throw money into it, would I? Father Zhao?”

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, don't be a fool, just tell me what you want! I was so quarreled by those people, and I ran to me whenever I had something to do. If this matter can't be solved, I won't be here today." The law is over!" Zhao Shun complained.

Well, it is!

Father Zhao didn't say a word, he didn't like this Zhao Ziliang.I don't believe that this person will really help them.

"In this way, all the fish caught in your village will be sold to me, and you don't have to go to the fish market to sell them. In this way, won't you save the cost? As for the price! Of course it is [-] to [-]% lower than the market. After all, you There is no fee!" Zhao Ziliang finally expressed his intention, looking at the father and son with different expressions in front of him, he said calmly.

"If that's the case, of course it's fine." Zhao Shun was overjoyed.Then he glanced at his father again, caught his displeased gaze, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhao, we still need to discuss this matter, and we will give you an answer when we make up our mind!"

"Okay. That's it! I still have to go to other villages to see what they mean! Farewell!"

"Father, what do you mean?" After Zhao Ziliang left, Zhao Shun carefully looked at his father's face.

"It seems that Lu Zhixian and Zhao Ziliang planned all this in the name of the government. What kind of worldly troubles!" Father Zhao got up angrily and strode out the door.

In the old house of the Xiao family.Xiao Yun and Xiao Qing sat on the kang and looked at the fabrics. The fabrics Lin Xueman brought back from Qianjiao Island were very soft and light.It would be best to make a summer dress.

Xiao Qing was helping with the cutting. When it came to female celebrity skills, she was not inferior to her elder sister Xiao Yun. She just had a dull temperament and didn't like talking very much. Looking at the materials that the third sister-in-law brought back for her, she was also happy. bloomed.This light pink is her favorite color, and this sister-in-law is quite careful.

Xiao Yun held his piece of blue cloth.I can't stop looking at it, and I'm full of love. I didn't expect that there are such good materials on Qianjiao Island, which feels better than silk!

Mrs. Yang didn't go out either, but was still sitting on the kang, knitting and fishing, and chatting with Lin Xueman, nothing more than asking Xiao Chengyu about things on Qianjiao Island, how he was eating and living, how his health was....

Lin Xueman answered one by one, saying that Xiao Chengyu would come back to celebrate her birthday at the end of April. Of course, she didn't mention that she went to the sea to save people....

Yang listened quietly, she had actually asked her daughter-in-law about these things, but she always wanted to ask again, these days she kept dreaming about this son, she really missed him, he grew up so big, Haven't been away from her for so long....

The land at home has just been planted a few days ago. As in previous years, I planted some sorghum and some miscellaneous grains. Because there is no snow in winter, the winter wheat is a little short of water. These days, people in the village are busy carrying water to irrigate the field .

The men of the Xiao family are no exception, the eldest and the second will pick up buckets to fight the drought in the fields when they come back from fishing, and Xiao Jingzhi will go to the fields to help water the fields when he returns from his private school, and he is very busy.

Carrying water and fighting drought is a man's job, women can't interfere, there is nothing to do in the field, the weather is getting warmer, and the sea is getting busy.

At this moment, the door rang, and Father Zhao walked in with heavy steps.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly got off the kang to greet him, knowing that he was looking for Xiao Jingzhi, she hurriedly let him into the house.There are many people in the room, it is a bit crowded!

Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun saw that someone was coming to the house, they hurriedly packed up their clothes, got out of the kang, and prepared to boil water and serve tea to entertain the guests!

Yang asked Xiao Qing to go to the field behind the village and call Xiao Jingzhi back. He was watering the field with his two sons, and he would not be back for a while.

Xiao Qing responded, walked into her room, combed her hair, and hurried out!

As soon as she got out of the village entrance and went up the road next to the hillside, she saw Zhao Ziliang's carriage parked there. She hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran towards another path!

She doesn't want to see this man!

This man shattered all her thoughts. In her eyes, he was so handsome and humorous. In order to marry him, she did not hesitate to turn against her family. But since that day, she saw him at the seaside His daughter-in-law, such a charming and charming woman has become a tigress in his mouth, she suddenly has a feeling of being deceived...

She used to like him so much, was obsessed with him, and even almost died for him, now thinking about it, she was so ridiculous, so sad...

"I'm not a tiger, why did you leave when you saw me?" Zhao Ziliang jumped off the carriage and said behind her, "Long time no see, how are you?"

Xiao Qing didn't speak, and walked forward on her own. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
