The reborn girl is good for farming

Chapter 51 51 Ship Tax
Li Siniu was a little bit disappointed but also a little happy, "There are two chickens left, three ducks are not sold, and the fish are all sold out."

"Father, I've said it all, this is already very good. If you think about it, you only have 60 chickens and ducks at home, and you sold 15 of them a day, which is less than half of them. When the next batch of chickens and ducks grow up, you will have to buy them again." It's been a few months..." Li Xiaolan is already very happy, as she said, there is still a market here, and there are a lot of chickens and ducks at home, so it's sure to be sold well.

When Li Siniu thought about it, he was right. There are only 45 chickens and ducks in the family now. Oh, he has to buy chicks and ducks quickly.

"Eat dinner first, let's talk after we finish." Wang Guixiang and Li Xiaolan brought the food to the table, and everyone had dinner.

Both Wang Guixiang and Li Siniu were starving, and Li Xiaolan was good at cooking, so she ate with gusto.

After the meal, Wang Guixiang poured the copper coins in the money pocket on the table and counted the money...

Five fish, about five catties each, 6 Wen per catty, sold for 150 Wen.8 chickens, each more than 3 catties, 13 Wen a catty, sold for 312 Wen, and 7 ducks, each more than 4 Jin, 12 Wen a catty, sold for 336 Wen, at least 798 Wen.

"Father, there are 838 articles..." Li Xiaolan said happily.Everyone is happy... "Except for the cost of 45 renminbi for chicken and ducklings, Dad, we earned 793 renminbi. This business is okay."

"Well, well..." When Li Siniu heard that it was gone at all, when he just came back, he still had the trouble of not selling a few chickens and ducks, and those few things would be sold sooner or later.This business can really be done.Although it was very tiring after a day of running around outside, it was so worth it!
"Father, have you visited the pier in town?" This is also a question that Li Xiaolan is very concerned about.

"Go, there are mostly big boats in the town's wharf, and there are fewer small boats. I'll ask..." Li Siniu talked about the wharf and the process of selling things today.

They went to the town's market first and sold 3 fish, 5 chickens and 3 ducks in the morning.After the market was over, they went to the restaurant to inquire about the situation. They didn't accept scattered ones, and all regular customers delivered them to their door.

When Li Xiaolan heard this, she understood that it was contracted.This is a model similar to the modern one. If you want to sell to restaurants, you can only rely on relationships.

Later they went to the wharf and met a special fishmonger at the wharf. The last two fish were taken by the fishmonger, but they were sold cheaply at 2 Wen a catty.There I met a man who looked like a steward on a big ship and bought him 5 chickens and 2 ducks.

Later, they sold another chicken and two ducks through the streets.

From the fishmonger, he learned that all ships docking in the river are taxed, and merchant ships take 300% of the tax based on the value of the goods on board.If it is an empty ship or a family ship that comes to dock, it also needs to pay, 100 Wen for a large ship, 10 Wen for a medium ship, and [-] Wen for a small boat.

Li Xiaolan was speechless after hearing this, what a high tax.If they ship their goods to the town today, they will have to pay a tax of 160 renminbi, which is too high and uneconomical.Would you rather walk more, or buy a mule cart?

Li Siniu obviously thought of this too, he was a little sleepy, it seemed that going by water would not work.

"Father, don't be disappointed. It's always true that a small boat can catch fish. It's worth buying. We'll go explore that waterway when we have time. It's good that we know it well. We won't do business in the future. , if there is an urgent matter, or to go to the town to play, to buy something, it is worth spending 10 renminbi, a mule cart is 2 renminbi per person, and our family also needs 10 renminbi..." Li Xiaolan couldn't see him Father was lost, and tried his best to comfort him.

"That's right, my daughter is still the smartest." Li Siniu was happy again.It never occurred to him that five people could fit in his small boat.
