Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory

Every once in a while, the government would organize this kind of temple fairs in the capital and all over the country.

Such activities can help some small vendors increase their income and promote tax revenue. Most importantly, they can give single men and women the opportunity to get to know each other.

Although it is now an era where men and women are strictly separated, they still have to pass on their family line.

Aristocratic families may be stricter about etiquette, but ordinary people do not have so many requirements.

After all, when Emperor Qianxuan ascended the throne, he promulgated a law that singles need to pay double taxes.

This is because when his grandfather was emperor, the country was at war for years and the population dropped sharply. By the time his father came to power, the country had recovered a little, but the population was still too small.

So he made this law to promote population growth.

Men aged 20 and above and unmarried women aged 18 and above are required to pay five times the normal head tax.

This amount of money may not seem like a lot to the rich, but for an ordinary lower-income family, it is often a huge sum of money.

Therefore, many people will actively participate in temple fairs in the hope of meeting their ideal person and achieving a good relationship!

When Xue Han's carriage arrived at the entrance of Changjie, it was still relatively early and not many people were attending the temple fair.

Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to enter the temple fair venue to avoid congestion. They can be parked in special venues and pay a certain fee.

The long streets where temple fairs are held are usually not very long, but there are also people with poor physical strength, so some sedan chairs are provided in the inner field. When they can't move, the sedan chair bearers can stop at any time, which is very convenient.

In addition, when buying things there, it takes time to find change.

When buying things at this temple fair, special chips are used instead of coins, and chips can be exchanged for silver at the entrance.

Of course, places for exchanging money can be found everywhere along this long street, with one main theme: as long as you want to spend money, we will definitely provide the opportunity.

There is also such a temple fair in Xue Han’s hometown, but it is obvious that the goods and services in this kind of temple fair in Beijing are more complete.

"I think this method of the court is not bad." Xue Han said with emotion, "At least it is much better than a completely blind marriage."

"Yes!" After hearing this, Xie Jingshu nodded in agreement, but she also used a fan to cover her smiling expression.

How can it be all for the benefit of the people? For such a long street, merchants who want to do business here have to pay taxes, and customers and merchants have to take a cut when exchanging chips.

Although it’s not much, a mosquito-sized piece of meat is still a good thing!

Other gimmicky items sold to young couples are charged extra.

Let me give you a very intuitive example! A bowl of ordinary red date and lotus seed soup is sold at three times the price of other places in this temple fair, but who can blame the soup for its good meaning?

Xue Han obviously noticed Xie Jingshu's action. He asked in confusion, "Ah Fu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think that Brother Jinnian is right." Xie Jingshu replied quickly.

Just at this time, the two of them walked to a small stall with a red cloth banner, where various kinds of soups were being sold.

"This stall looks quite interesting, and the names of the soups are auspicious." Xue Han pointed at one of the brands, "Do you like this one, Happily Ever After?"

As he said this, he wanted to take out the chips he had just exchanged.

"No, I don't like it." Xie Jingshu immediately pulled Xue Han back, "Every soup here has a deep meaning. Let's go buy it somewhere else!"

The stall owner was a little unhappy when he first heard the girl across the street say she didn't like his soup. But then he got interested when he heard her say she knew there was a hidden meaning behind his product: "Then why don't you tell me what the hidden meaning of this Hundred Years of Happiness is?"

Xie Jingshu looked up at the other person and said, "If I'm right, then this soup will be given to us!"

"Sure!" the stall owner agreed generously.

Xie Jingshu smiled and replied: "This Hundred Years of Happiness is actually red bean, lotus seed and lily soup. The red beans represent lovesickness, and the lotus seeds are put into the soup before the core is removed. The meaning is: surplus for many years, many children and good fortune. As for the lily, there is no need for me to explain it in detail.

This soup tastes slightly bitter at first but becomes sweet in the throat, which roughly means: Although lovesickness is bitter, happiness will always be with you. "

"Okay, okay." After hearing this, the stall owner took the lead in applauding, "Miss, you are very good at what you said. This bowl of soup is on me."

At this time, some people had gathered in front of the stall. After listening to Xie Jingshu's explanation and getting the stall owner's affirmation, they all felt that the soup had a great artistic conception, and many people bought a bowl for themselves and those around them.

Xie Jingshu took the bamboo tube handed over by the stall owner.

I saw two words engraved on the outside of the pair of bamboo tubes, namely "hundred years" and "good luck".

“Although I only gave out one bowl of soup, you still have to share it with others!” the stall owner winked.

It turned out that he had recognized Xie Jingshu's identity - the sister of their big boss Xie Jingyao!

Oh my! Miss Xie was really generous. She came to take care of their boss's business in person and even introduced the meaning of this soup.

The big boss said this, yes, this is called creating topics, and then riding on the popularity to do better business.

Xiao Ji had also arrived at the temple fair. He was standing around the stall with Mu Mu and the young lady from the Xu family, watching Xie Jingshu who was talking in the crowd.
