The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 18 Selling Fish and Rabbits

Sujia Village is under the jurisdiction of Liu'an County, but it is more than 50 miles away from Liu'an County, but it only takes more than ten miles to go to Jishan County in the neighboring county. Walk towards Jishan County.

It wasn't too early to go out, and it was almost noon when we arrived at Jishan County, but when we saw that we had to pay two cents of city tax to enter the city, the three of them were dumbfounded, because they didn't have a penny on them.

Su Chang said with a bitter face: "Brother, sister, we can't enter the city, how can we sell the fish?"

Before Su Ling and Su Xiaoye could speak, the middle-aged man who had just passed by them backed back and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, do you have any fish? Sell me as much as you have."

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, the business came to the door, Su Ling was about to nod his head in agreement, when Su Xiaoye poked his finger in the back, Su Ling's words changed to: "Uncle, my fish is very precious, do you want it? "

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man seemed to have heard a big joke. He pointed to the silk and satin on his body, and then pointed to the entourage behind him. He raised his chin and asked, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to afford it?"

Su Ling waved his hand, "No, no, I'm afraid that the fish is too expensive, and it's hot, you can buy it and eat it up before it spoils, why don't you buy as much as you eat."

Only then did the middle-aged man's attitude become more attractive, he stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "My surname is Shao, I live in the east of the city, and people call him Master Shao."

Su Ling didn't realize that the middle-aged man was introducing himself, so he frowned regretfully and said, "You have to pay the city tax when you enter the city, and we don't deliver fish to your door."

Master Shao shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect that he was still a fool, so he said: "Take out the fish and show me first."

Su Ling immediately took off the basket carried behind her back, and brought over half the basket of fish carried by Su Xiaoye, and uncovered the hay on top to reveal the fish wrapped in cloth underneath.

Not wanting to come all the way and walk a long way, the fish in the basket are still alive, both Su Ling and Su Chang feel amazing, they also caught fish in the river before, but they can't live for so long without the water.

Su Xiaoye thinks that the fish on the farm are more vigorous, just like the food on the farm is more delicious than outside.

Master Shao saw that they just put the fish in the hay like this. Most of the fish were dead, maybe they were all stinky, but as long as they didn't stink too badly, he would buy them.Since the river dried up, he hadn't eaten fish for a long time.

Unexpectedly, these fish are still alive, so I was very happy, "Little brother, if I give you a tael of silver, how about selling all these fish to me?"

Su Ling and Su Chang thought that these fish could be sold for tens of pennies, so they would have fun secretly, but they didn't expect Master Shao to give a tael of silver as soon as he opened his mouth. Two taels of silver is just one tael of silver, and my family will catch fish in the future and send them to Shaofu in the east of the city."

"Then it's a deal, little girl, don't count your words." Mr. Shao was happy to hear that. His family owned a restaurant and was worrying about the daily food, but he was not afraid of too many fish.

Su Xiaoye nodded immediately, and after nodding, she thought that there was a fat rabbit in the basket on Su Chang's back, and took off the basket on Su Chang's back, "Master Shao, here is another rabbit, do you want it?"

When he saw the fat rabbit tightly tied up in the basket, Master Shao's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, how about giving you a tael of silver for this rabbit?"

He likes to eat wild game, but the rabbits sent over this year are thinner and thinner than the other. Such fat rabbits, not to mention this year, are rare in previous years.

In the words, he intentionally or unintentionally asked where the fish and rabbits were caught by the three of them, but they were all fooled by Su Ling. He knew that he would never be able to find out if he asked again. I can't ask any more questions.
