Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

Chapter 50 Selling Peppermint and Meeting the Bai Family

A few people got into the big ox cart and first went to the threshing ground and loaded all the wheat left there into the cart, and then they sat on the wheat pile and let the second uncle drive the cattle, wandering to the town.

Getting used to the car of the 21st century, suddenly changing to this slow-moving bullock cart, with the blue sky and white clouds above her head, and the endless wheat fields in front of her eyes, Lu Ziwan also felt that it was a special experience.

It took nearly half an hour for the bullock cart to arrive at the town. As soon as they arrived, Lu Banxia and Lu He started to move around. When they arrived at the fixed grain collection store, a few people got off the bullock cart, and Lu Donglin went into the shop and the food inside. Negotiate with the waiter.

The rice and grain in the nearby villages are brought here for money, so the waiter in the shop greeted Lu Donglin acquaintance, and found someone to move the threshed wheat to the shop. Replaced with rice.

After hearing this, Lu Ziwan realized that the wheat was exchanged for money in this way, one stone of rice was exchanged for one tael of silver, and her family's rice was exchanged for eight taels of silver and several hundred Wen in total, excluding those who had to be dragged to the government to pay taxes.

It was only then that Lu Ziwan realized that this money for rice was equivalent to her family's annual expenses, eight taels of silver. Lu Ziwan was really shocked when she heard this number.

Converted according to the renminbi of the 21st century, one tael of silver here is equivalent to 200 yuan of renminbi, and eight taels of silver is equal to 600 yuan. How poor is this?
But thinking about it, she also knows that her family is relatively poor in the village, and the family's land property is not much. After paying taxes and leaving her own rations, she can only exchange so much. Besides, the productivity at this time is not good. Being able to exchange eight taels of silver this year already made He Chunmei laugh from ear to ear.

Lu Ziwan sighed, no wonder He Chunmei usually had to do embroidery work to subsidize the family, the eight liang of silver was indeed so shockingly small.

After selling the wheat, several of them had to go to the government to pay the grain tax. Lu Ziwan made an appointment to meet at the gate of the rice grain store in two quarters of an hour, on the pretext of wanting to take a stroll in the town, and then started wandering around the town alone .

Now is the autumn harvest time, there are many country people in the town like Lu Ziwan and the others who come to the town to sell grain, and the town is also very lively, with all kinds of gadgets sold on the roadside stalls .

After watching for a while, Lu Ziwan cast her eyes on the shops on both sides. According to people in the village, there are teahouses in the town, so her first thought was to find teahouses to sell her mint leaves.

After Lu Ziwan walked for a long time, she saw quite a few 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, so she didn't go in.

Lu Ziwan planned to sell the mint at a high price. Teahouses with bad business would definitely not accept it. What she was looking for was a teahouse with good business and a large number of customers, so that the mint tea could be promoted quickly.

Are customers like clouds coming to the teahouse?Lu Ziwan stood at the door of the teahouse and looked at the signboard. She walked all the way and saw the guest Ru Ruyun coming to the restaurant and the inn. Could it be that the same owner opened it?
Those restaurants and inns were full of customers, and this teahouse had a lot more people than the previous teahouses. I thought this was probably the best teahouse in town, so I walked in.

"Girl, let's see what you want~ The shop has everything you need for tea, tea and snacks." The waiter in the shop heard someone's footsteps entering the shop, and subconsciously turned around to greet her, but was stunned when she saw Lu Ziwan wearing cheap old clothes , but there is no other expression, still smiling.
