The Lucky Farmgirl

Luojiang County is busiest at only two times, after the autumn harvest and before the New Year.

In past years, the post-harvest bustle could be delayed until the Double Ninth Festival, since after harvesting the grains, there was still the matter of preparing for tax payment.

But this year there were no taxes, and the levies had been reduced appropriately, so everyone had some spare time before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Villages like Qili Village, which had decided to plant winter wheat, took advantage of this interval to visit the county town.

So the streets were very lively, rivaling the hustle and bustle of the New Year preparations, and thus Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang flanked Manbao on either side and walked her forward.

As for everyone else, they naturally stuck with their own parents.

Zhou Erlang knew that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today and that business would surely be exceptionally good, so how could he afford to miss this opportunity to make money?

Zhou Dalang wasn’t willing to miss out either, so last night they soaked twice as many beans, and got up at dawn to grind the beans into tofu. Only with the tofu ready, Ms. Feng and the others also prepared the vegetables they were going to sell today.

Due to the high turnout of people heading into town, the Zhou Family brought three times more goods to the city than usual.

The County Magistrate Fu, being unusually generous this time, announced that entry into the city would be free today, and anyone without weapons could enter, free of charge!

With more people coming into the city today, naturally there were more sellers. Fortunately, the gang leader who usually patrolled the streets collecting protection money, after eating countless tofu from Zhou Erlang, specially reserved his usual spot for him.
