Chapter 101: Observing the Folk Customs

Yuan Baoer walked around for a while and felt a little hungry, so she found a restaurant and sat down to eat.

The food here is mostly seafood, with delicious taste, far better than inland.

Yuan Baoer and Cui Xin feasted and waited until the bill was settled, and they were a little stunned.

There were only four dishes, one soup and a few cakes, and it was almost five taels.

He would post the account, Cuixin muttered, "This is too expensive."

Yuan Baoer didn't say anything, but she agreed in her heart.

She has a salary, plus what her grandfather gave her, which is enough for her to eat and drink for a long time.

But the problem is that the people here don't look that rich.

Yuan Baoer took Cuixin straight to the vegetable market.

At this moment, there are basically not many vendors in the market, so Cui Xin went to the fish seller to ask how to sell it.

When she learned that one hundred words were 100, her eyes widened.

“So expensive?”

"It's not expensive, you see how fat this fish is," said the fishmonger. "I just look at these two, and the price is this, otherwise it will cost 120 cents."

Yuan Baoer glanced at him and took Cuixin to ask about the meat and vegetables.

After asking, Yuan Baoer's face looked a little ugly.

The food here is actually 30% more expensive than Kyoto, which is really strange.

When he went back to the guest house, Yuan Baoer asked Cuixin to get close to the friend inside.

Not long after, Cui Xin came back with anger on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Baoer said.

"Madam, I finally know why the food is so expensive. I only added taxes several times as I joined the company."

"How could it be?"

Yuan Baoer frowned slightly, "The county magistrate has passed away for only two months. During this period, only the county magistrate is acting. Who dares to do this so boldly?"

Cui Xin was so angry that she was just those families.

"As long as you take out those fish, meat and vegetables, they will be taxed on the ground. When you enter the city, you will have to pay the tax on the city. When you go to the market, you will have miscellaneous taxes."

"All these 0708 are considered, they are ridiculously expensive."

Yuan Baoer frowned slightly, "Mr. Zhang is afraid that he doesn't know about this."

She stood up and went straight to the government office. When she was about to enter, she saw a tall horse parked at the entrance of the government office.

Such a strong horse could not be raised by ordinary families, so they asked the yamen runners.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Zhang?"

The yamen runner nodded, "The sir is meeting the guests."

Yuan Baoer asked again whose family it was, and the yamen runners were blunt, "The Yuan family."

Before he came here, Yuan Baoer knew about this store.

It is said that the origin of the name Hongyuan County is due to the Yuan family.

Later, this place was designated as a county by Taizu, and the Yuan family took root and settled here.

The sound of a man striding out came from inside. Yuan Baoer turned his eyes and saw that it was a man in a thick ochre shirt, so he turned his head.

The man left the government office and came forward to see him.

"The little Yuan family manager Yuanzhi has met Lord Yuan."

"You recognize me?"

Yuan Baoer looked at him from the front.

Original handed over, "The adult is a noble man, how can a villain meet?" He glanced at the waist sign she hung on the silk ribbon. "It was because he saw the adult's waist sign, and he rashly greeted him."

Yuan Baoer nodded and walked over to the government office.

Yuanzhi slowly turned his head, glanced at the masters and servants, and handed the yamen runner a purse, and whispered: "Is it good for Lord Yuan and Lord Zhang?"

The yamen runner thought about the past two days that Yuan Baoer was in and out here, so he nodded.

Original quality has a clear idea, so hurry up and report back.

Yuan Baoer came here to inquire and saw Zhang Mao burying his head in the official document, without raising his head.

Yuan Baoer stood there, looking at the official hat on Zhang Mao's head. For some reason, the thought that had just become popular disappeared in a blink of an eye. However, thinking about the friendship between the two, he said, "I just went to the restaurant and took a seat. The dishes here are very novel. Have you ever tried them?"

Zhang Mao put down the official documents and said lightly: "I am obsessed with official duties and I don't have the freedom to Lord Yuan, so I will not have this blessing."

Yuan Baoer smiled and was in good faith, "This will not delay the official duties of the adults."

She bowed and quickly walked out of the government office.

Cuixin spat quietly, "What's the matter? I forgot to eat ours all the way and drink ours."

"It's not that fast to cut bridges across the river."

Yuan Baoer laughed, "Forget it, go back."

She took Cuixin back to the guesthouse. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her friend leading two strong horses to the stable.

Cuixin rolled her eyes and slipped to the stable to ask who was coming.

Yuan Baoer went back to the room directly.

Just as he went upstairs, Gu Sheng came towards him.

"Why are you here?"

Yuan Baoer was surprised.

Gu Sheng smiled, "But is it a matter of going to do it?"

Yuan Baoer shook her head and continued to go upstairs.

Gu Sheng waited for her to come and followed her into the room.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps.

"Madam," Cui Xin shouted, glanced at Gu Sheng at first sight, and swallowed the rest of her words.

Yuan Baoer said, "Pick up the tea stove and tea bottle."

Cui Xin retreated from the compartment, brought something over, and slipped out.

Yuan Baoer slowly prepared the tea leaves and sifted them carefully.

Gu Sheng looked at her quiet eyebrows and said in a gentle voice: "Is anyone here to make things difficult for you?"

Yuan Baoer shook her head and saw Gu Sheng looking at him with concern, and then smiled, "It's the person I'm looking for that mother in the family is sick, I have to wait for him for a few days."

Only then did Gu Sheng feel relieved. When Yuan Baoer had finished making tea, he said, "Since that's the case, don't walk around in the next two days to avoid harming the innocent."

Yuan Baoer was a little surprised.

However, when he thought of Gu Sheng’s errands, he didn’t ask much.

But Gu Sheng waited and waited, and saw that she was busy on her own, she was a little disappointed.

He pursed his lips and whispered: "When I finish my work, the remaining families will be calm and jealous, so you can do it cheaply."

Yuan Baoer hadn't forgotten his thoughts, but after hearing what he said, he said, "You are not because of me."

Halfway through her speech, she swallowed the one below back.

"No," Gu Sheng said so, but his eyes looked at her.

Seeing her breath of relief, his face darkened slightly.

"Don't you want to be too close to me?"

"No," Yuan Baoer asked herself if this is the case, "I just don't want to delay your work."

Gu Sheng looked at her regularly, and when he saw her calm eyes, his expression calmed down a little.

"No," he replied.

Yuan Baoer suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know why. Perhaps it was because the afternoon wind was too hot, which made her sweat come out.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng left after drinking tea.

After giving the gift, Yuan Baoer held her hot face and stared at the empty teacup in a daze.

It's so amazing, Gu Sheng was trying to get somewhere else, why did he suddenly ask about this?

Cuixin waited until Gu Sheng walked away before rushing in.

"Madam, why is Lord Gu coming?"

Yuan Baoer came to her senses and concealed her teacup, "It's business."

Cuixin did not doubt that he was there, and followed her to carry the small red clay stove.

"Madam, I heard that there is a rush here. It's just the right time now, let's go."
