Farm group pet: Koi lucky girl busy farming

Chapter 191 Luo Tang's Past

"What peacock, that's my father..." Lin Shiwu gave Luo Tang a look.

Luo Tang's eyes widened immediately upon hearing the words, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

Lin Shiwu coughed lightly, with a calm expression: "...Brother, don't be so big or small."

Luo Tang: ...

"Even without my father's relationship, in terms of age, the county magistrate Ling is also an elder. What do you look like with every peacock in your mouth?" Lin Shiwu said very seriously.

Luo Tang: ...

He tried very hard to discern the expression on Lin Shiwu's face.

Ah Shi actually spoke for Hua Peacock today?
This made him feel a sense of crisis.

"As for whether they are father and son or not, it has nothing to do with us, don't worry so much." Lin Shiwu said lightly.

Luo Tang kept ringing the alarm bells.

It doesn't matter!It doesn't matter! !

What if Hua Peacock wants to kidnap you as his daughter-in-law?
It's just that he didn't dare to say it openly.

"Ashi's words are right..." Luo Tang obediently obeyed, and then secretly glanced at her face, probing around: "But I see, these two people seem to have some misunderstanding, if they really It's father and son, so shouldn't we take care of it reasonably?"

"Caring for what?" Lin Shiwu frowned and looked at him strangely.

Luo Tang swallowed a little: "Well, I see, Shouyi doesn't seem to be young, maybe it's time to marry a wife and have children?"

Lin Shiwu: ...

"But, how do you know that he hasn't married a wife and had children?" She looked at Luo Tang a little speechlessly: "Did you ask?"

Luo Tang was immediately stopped by the question.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Then maybe, it's... not the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, so, so..."

"What are you trying to say?" Lin Shiwu stopped and looked at him.

Luo Tang suddenly became nervous.

He licked his lips, stumbled and said, "That's right, I just think... Maybe Hua Peacock, no, it's County Magistrate Ling, maybe he has other ideas, such as..." I want you to be my daughter-in-law.

Facing Shang Lin Shiwu's eyes, he suddenly didn't have the courage to say the words that came to his lips.

"Huh?" Lin Shiwu looked at him strangely.

Luo Tang hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's nothing! Let's, let's go shopping!"

After saying that, he turned his head and quickly ran towards the vegetable market.

Lin Shiwu: ...

Why is the little thing so weird?

She shook her head, but quickly followed after her.

The vegetable market in the afternoon is usually open for a long time.

There are quite a lot of people inside.

Lin Shiwu searched for a while before finding Luo Tang's figure.

"Running around?" She said fiercely.

Luo Tang was still feeling guilty, and immediately dared not speak.

The stall owner waited for a while before he dared to speak cautiously: "Xiao Langjun, do you still want this bitter melon?"

Luo Tang was about to say no, but Lin Shiwu said: "I want it, how much is it? Pack me a few more, and that eggplant, weigh five catties for me! This cabbage, I want five, and the small cabbage over there Give me five catties, two pumpkins, and five catties of cowpea..."

The vegetable market after noon has more vegetables than the morning market.

And there are even such dishes as cowpea, horn and pumpkin... which are not in season at all.

The stall owner was stunned for a while at first, but then he came to his senses and immediately responded with surprise.

"Eh! Good!"

He quickly packed all the things Lin Shiwu wanted, and generously gave him two scallions.

"Boss, do your onions grow well?" Lin Shiwu looked at the two green onions, his eyes lit up: "Is there any more? I'll buy some more!"

"Hey, little lady, this is really gone." The stall owner said with a little regret: "My vegetables are all purchased from the Department of Agriculture and Science. In this season, there are no vegetables in our yard. Come down!
Their green onions have always grown very well, but they only supply my stall, so every time they open, many people come to buy them. Not long after they opened, there are only two trees left. . "

After hearing this, Lin Shiwu couldn't help but feel a little lost: "Well then, I bought these two green onions..."

"That's okay!" The stall owner refused decisively: "I said to give it to the little lady, so it is for the little lady!"

As he spoke, he sighed and explained: "Young lady, I don't know that most of the dishes we sell here are from the Department of Agricultural Sciences, so the types and quality of each one are similar. Therefore, people who come here to buy vegetables basically buy from anyone, there is nothing to choose!
As for my scallions, I got a little more business because I paid more money and got something...some exclusive supply rights, but there are still a lot of dishes left every day, so I can only reduce the price. "

Lin Shiwu listened to what the stall owner said for a while before he finally understood...the vegetable market here is similar to the vegetable section in the supermarket in his previous life.

There are various types of dishes, but all of them come from the supply of the Department of Agriculture.

Those who set up stalls and sell vegetables here have signed a supply agreement with the Department of Agricultural Sciences.

Every day, I have to go to the Department of Agriculture to pick up a fixed amount of vegetables. As much as I can sell, I earn money after deducting the money purchased from the Department of Agriculture.

But because everyone sells the same things, and the court has expressly stipulated that the prices of dishes should not fluctuate too high or too low...

Therefore, almost which one sells more vegetables and which one sells fewer vegetables depends not on the quality, but on the location of the stall...

Those who are willing to take a few more steps may be more suitable for those in the middle position.

For those who come to buy meat, and those who stop by to buy vegetables, the innermost one is more suitable.

For those who like to shop while shopping, it may be better to enter the vegetable market...

But no matter which one it is, there will be a lot of vendors in the end, and there will be a lot of dishes left.

The Department of Agriculture does not accept return of these dishes.

If you want to put it out and sell it the next day, it won't work.

The main reason is the price... The dishes you have left overnight are not fresh, so they must be cheaper than fresh ones.

But it's not fresh, and it won't affect the food, so many people will come to buy this kind of dish with reduced price...

But this family has three to four meals a day at most, and they buy a fixed amount of vegetables.

If you buy cheap ones, it will naturally affect the sales of fresh ones...

However, the Department of Agriculture supplies the same amount every day. It will not supply you with more because you sell too well and too quickly, nor will it decrease your supply because you sell too slowly and too little...

As a result, there are more and more vegetables left over, and even losing money to sell them may not be able to sell them all, so they can only take them home to eat.

The stall owner said, sighing more heavily: "Because of the supply from the Department of Agriculture and Science, most of the vegetables grown by us ordinary people cannot be sold even if we put them on display."

And it's not allowed...

In the entire vegetable market, only the morning market allows individuals to bring their own things to sell.

After noon, it will become the supply of the whole Agricultural Department.

Including, fish sellers, meat sellers...

If an individual wants to sell something, he can only peddle through the streets, or set up a stall at a designated location on another street.

That's why the stall owner was very excited when he heard that Lin Shiwu had ordered so many dishes.

In fact, it is possible to set up a stall here for a whole day and not be able to sell so many vegetables!
"It turned out to be like this..." Lin Shiwu became even more curious about the Department of Agriculture.

Even the vegetable market is under management.

The stall owner packed all the dishes and handed them to Lin Shiwu: "Little lady, take them well!"

When Luo Tang was about to reach out to take it, Lin Shiwu said: "Boss, store it for me for a while, I have to buy some meat inside."

As she spoke, she had already pulled out the money: "This is vegetable money, boss, you count."

"That's right, it's just right!" The stall owner smiled, just like looking at the God of Wealth: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you, just go and buy something else!"

Lin Shiwu smiled and said, "Okay, thank you boss."

Luo Tang withdrew his hand and followed Lin Shiwu obediently, like a little tail.

The two went to the butcher stall to buy meat again.

He was always a little nervous, wondering if Ah Shi was angry.

So after Lin Shiwu ordered ten catties of pork belly and two ribs from the butcher stall owner, he immediately took the initiative to carry things.

Lin Shiwu wanted to take over, but he looked at her with pitiful eyes.

"Ash~"

Once Luo Tang's voice softened, it was like a sharp weapon to tease Lin Shiwu.

Lin Shiwu: ...

"All right, all right, you take it!"

Afterwards, she bought some fish, and threw all the vegetables she just bought to Luo Tang.

Luo Tang: ...

As expected, Ah Shi was still angry.

He silently followed behind Lin Shiwu, full of caution.

"Speaking of which, there are still a lot of fish at home..."

Lin Shiwu suddenly thought of the fish she brought up.

Some were raised by Mrs. Liu, and some were pickled and never finished.

"I don't know when I can go back to the village, and I don't know what's going on at home." She muttered.

Although in fact, it only came out for two or three days.

But somehow I feel homesick...

Luo Tang thought for a while: "Didn't Zhao Si go to Peach Blossom Village? He should take care of the family, right?"

"Who knows." Lin Shiwu shook his head: "It's better to finish the work here quickly and go back early."

As she said that, she was a little unhappy: "Obviously there is nothing to be busy with... It's just a hot pot meal, why do you feel like you can't go home?"

"Maybe there are too many things to do..." Luo Tang said.

Lin Shiwu hummed, barely agreeing: "Wait until tomorrow, let's go to the flower market. Didn't Dad say that there is a flower market at the Department of Agriculture and Science? I want to find some vine flowers, and when I go back, I will tidy up the yard at home and build a flower market." Flower shelf, if there are grapes, build a shelf too."

The two walked back while talking.

"...You don't know. Back then, my parents didn't know what to think. They bought seven acres of land and used two and a half acres as a homestead. The remaining four and a half acres were directly used as the front and back yards."

As Lin Shiwu talked, he couldn't help complaining about this big house with seven acres of land.

"If I tell others about this, I might be scolded for my lack of common sense. I don't know how big the seven acres of land is." She shook her head helplessly.

Luo Tang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Actually, this is also a feature of Bailin Town. You don't know, in fact, except for those in towns, almost every villager has one or two Acres of yard.

We may look older, but where did we live in previous lives?Buying a house with a few hundred square meters is considered a great deal.

If it is some place with a large land and few people, it may be easier to understand this, and it will not be unusual for a family to have dozens of acres of land!

This is the case in Bailin Town, especially Taohua Village. Except for the hundreds of households in the village, most of the surrounding areas are cultivated land and large areas of wasteland.

So the rules here in Peach Blossom Village are not the same as other places..."

Lin Shiwu couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What's different?"

"If a newborn is born here, the county government will divide half an acre of land, regardless of gender." Luo Tang said with a light smile: "Your family has four children. It seems that you bought seven acres of land, but In fact, two acres of land were given away."

"So there is such a saying..." The corner of Lin Shiwu's mouth twitched: "Then what if the land is not enough in the future?"

"It won't be enough. There are really a lot of land here in Taohua Village..." Luo Tang explained: "Also, only the household registration of Taohua Village can get this treatment."

"Then if someone's family has more children..." Lin Shiwu still felt that this matter was outrageous.

Luo Tang shook his head and said, "Ashi, you forgot, I said before that when Lord Taikang was in power, in order to collect enough military pay or disaster relief funds, the poll tax increased significantly, and if there were two men in the family, there would be extra income. Come three times.

So during that time, family divisions were the most, just to reduce the poll tax.

Because of this, many people were drowned at birth, because they could not pay the poll tax.

Therefore, although it is very tempting to reward half an acre of land for every baby, don’t forget that there is a land tax on land property, and there is a head tax on the baby. "

Luo Tang laughed softly: "That is to say, in his later years, Taikang Lord was almost ostracized by the emperor who was still the prince at that time, and he directly ordered the abolition of the poll tax, which is better."

Lin Shiwu suddenly hugged Luo Tang: "So, you have caught up with the poll tax?"

Luo Tang was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he hummed: "I didn't appear here for no reason.

It’s just that the place where I was born was too remote and backward, and although the imperial court had abolished the poll tax long ago, the people there have always been kept in the dark, and the county magistrate was corrupt…”

So as soon as he was born, he was thrown into the river by his family to fend for himself.

The children who were thrown into the river during the same period have become fodder for the fish.

"You also discovered that I actually..." Luo Tang said cautiously, "I can manipulate vegetation, so after those people left, I used the energy of vegetation that I could manipulate to float along the river to here."

What he didn't say was that he came looking for Ah Shi's breath.

Obviously he was very surprised that Ashi asked him, but when the time came to confess, he didn't know how to confess about his past life.

Lin Shiwu was surprised by Luo Tang's experience, but felt even more distressed.

In the fire scene before, she felt that he had been protecting her with a pure aura of vegetation.

"From now on, I will be your family."
