"Sister, aren't you going to the shop today?"

Qiu'er lay on Fan Yanran's lap, raised her head and asked obediently.

"No, my sister won't go to the shop all day today. My sister will take you out to play and have a good time in Qiu County."

"Oh! Going out to play!"

Qiu'er jumped up happily when she heard it, turned around and ran over to tell Xiaozhixian and Lingdang the good news.

These days I have been busy with setting up stalls and opening shops, so the little ones can only stay at home, occasionally waking up early to catch up with Meng Yunting to play together for a while,

Before, when Fan Yanran was busy, Fan Qingzhu or Bai Sumei could take them to the street for a while, but now that Fan Qingzhu and Bai Sumei took over the stall, no one took them to play.

Because of the events of the previous two days, Bai Sumei was exhausted and did not have a good rest, so she rested at home.

Fan Qingzhu and Fan Yanran took three little radish heads out to play.

It was a rare day when she didn't have to worry about anything, and Fan Yanran planned to take her children to the countryside to play.

It's been a long time since I went to the street, and the little devils almost couldn't stop the car when they got to the street. They were held by Fan Yanran and Fan Qingzhu and dared not let go.

"Candied haws—sweet and sour candied haws!"

"Hey, young master, let's take a look at Xiaomin's toys and see if you like them?"

"Girl, buy a hairpin!"

"Sister, candied haws!"

Qiu'er tugged at Fan Yanran's sleeve, looking at the candied haws with longing eyes, and pursed her small mouth, as if she was tasting the taste of candied haws in the air.

Xiao Zhixian also secretly glanced at the candied haws, and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

He wants to be a hero in the future, so he must be prudent!

Bell also shook Fan Qingzhu's sleeve carefully.

"No, if you eat too much sweet, worms will grow in Bell's teeth."

Fan Qingzhu shook his head.

Bell pouted, a little unhappy.

"Then, can Qiu'er eat it?"

Qiu'er grinned obediently at Fan Yanran, her white and tender appearance was pleasing to the eye.

Fan Yanran smiled and nodded Qiu'er's forehead, "Qiu'er is seven years old this year, and she will lose her teeth soon. If you eat candied haws, it may hurt when you lose your teeth."

Tooth loss? !

Xiao Zhixian closed his mouth tightly, he was a little glad that he didn't ask for candied haws just now, it turns out that eating candied haws will make his teeth fall out!

"Tooth loss? It still hurts?!"

Qiu'er exclaimed and covered her mouth, looked at the candied haws reluctantly, then closed her eyes and pulled Fan Yanran to leave.

"Go, go! If you don't go, Qiu'er won't be able to bear it anymore!"

……

Walking to the gate of the city, Fan Yanran found about a dozen people in shabby clothes curled up outside the city wall. When she saw someone in brocade clothes coming out, she quickly ran forward and reached out, occasionally receiving one or two copper coins. A steamed bun.

"This?"

Fan Qingzhu stared blankly at the refugees outside the city, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"It's because of paying the food tax."

Every year in late September, one or two days after the autumn harvest is the day to pay the grain tax. It has not rained for more than half a year, the land is dry, and there is no harvest in many places. There is food.

They came to the county from Shitou Village, and they were busy opening shops to earn money all day long, so there was no need to worry about the food tax issue.

"In a few days, someone will definitely report to the Holy Majesty, and maybe there will be relief food."

Fan Qingzhu is very optimistic.

In the current situation, the amount of food tax collected by various places must not be large. The wise and wise, after finding out the situation, he will definitely take some measures.

Fan Yanran sighed, but the officials below didn't take it seriously, and kept the matter a secret. Some people even searched for grain and sold it at a high price to earn the flesh and blood of the common people.

After a lot of emotion, I set off for the suburbs.

There is a river in the outskirts of Qiu County. The water is so clear that even fish can be seen clearly. There are some shrimps, crabs, snails and mussels among the stones and sand beside the river.

"Wow!"

Qiu'er ran to the river, propped her chin up and looked at the little fish swimming freely in the river.

The other two little devils also followed their sister to watch the fish by the river, and the three little groups squatted by the river, turning their heads at the same frequency.

Fan Yanran came over and patted a few children on the head, "Today I give you permission to go down to play, and you can catch some fish, shrimp, crab, etc. After catching them, I will go back tonight and my sister will cook something delicious for you."

"Oh!"

Xiao Zhixian cheered, and just as she was about to jump down, Fan Yanran grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her back, "Turn up your trouser legs, although you have to get into the water, try not to get wet."

After hitting a few little ghosts on their heads, they were put into the water.

"Yanran, come and watch. My aunt used to catch fish with your father when I was young. It's not my aunt who brags. I'm amazing! At that time, my aunt caught more fish than your father!"

Fan Qingzhu eagerly rolled up his trouser legs, his eyes fixed on the nimble fish under the river.

Fan Yanran didn't go into the water, but concentrated on digging crabs and shrimps by the river. There weren't many mussels, but there were a lot of snails, and many of them could be seen within a few steps.

It took almost two hours before Fan Yanran lifted all the "four children" who were going crazy in the river to the river.

Fan Qingzhu didn't brag, her record was indeed conspicuous.

She alone caught eight fish, six big fish and two small ones.

The three little ones only cared about splashing water. In the end, Lingdang caught the little one, and Qiu'er and Xiao Zhixian caught the big one together.

Fan Yanran tore a piece of cloth from her body, wrapped a bunch of snails, nearly ten small crabs, and more than 20 river prawns.

It was almost late at this time, the three children were growing their bodies, and they played wildly for a while, and now they could feel their stomachs growling in protest when they calmed down.

For a while, the sounds of "Gululu" seemed to line up one after another.

"Ah! Bell is hungry!"

Bell was a little shy, covering her stomach in an attempt to make it stop screaming.

"It's okay, you must be hungry after playing for so long."

Fan Yanran patted the top of Bell's hair, found a place to pick up some branches, piled them up, lit a fire, and asked a few people who entered the water to dry their clothes.

He took two hard branches and skewered two freshly processed fish, and grilled them on the fire.

The grilling time does not need to be too long, and the aroma will come out soon.

"Wow ⊙?⊙! It smells so good!"

Qiu'er raised her nose and took a big breath of the fragrance, and swallowed greedily.

The river here is clear, and the fish raised here are tender and sweet, and the fish will not be unpalatable without too many seasonings.

However, when Fan Yanran was studying recipes in the space kitchen, she learned that there are many strange and delicious condiments, and one or two condiments are especially delicious when sprinkled on baked food.

Fan Yanran was still struggling with how to get the condiment out of the space, but in the next second, a black shadow rushed over, snatched the fish from Fan Qingzhu's hand, turned and ran away.

"what!"

"My fish!"

Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, a little slowed down, Xiao Zhixian stared, he waited for a long time, he was hungry, sat up and chased after him.

Qiu'er and Lingdang glanced at each other and followed Xiao Zhixian to catch up.

Fan Yanran and Fan Qingzhu were worried about what would happen to the three brats, so they also followed.
