Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 371 Commercial Tax

Song Ying felt not so good when he heard this. Good wine needs no bush. If no customers come to do business, no matter how good their soap is, how affordable the price is, or how eloquent the salesperson is, it will be of no use!

"Uncle, can you cut down that tree? Our shop won't be visible to our customers, how can we continue to operate?"

"You can't do that. If you could chop the shop owner off, he wouldn't have closed the shop." Fang Yazi rejected it immediately. "This shop is right across from Jiahu Academy. Scholars value the artistic conception. The academy was chosen there because of the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and the shady trees. If you chop it down, the county officials will have to talk to you."

Lin Wenxuan was shocked. "The county government is in charge of cutting down trees?"

"Yes," Song Ying explained in a low voice, "The government also manages the trees on our mountain. We can cut them down for firewood, but we can't cut them down in large areas."

Lin Wenxuan exclaimed that he had learned a lot.

Song Ying's interest in the shop has diminished a lot, and he said to Fang Yazi again: "This will directly affect the business, which is not good."

Fang Yazi pretended not to hear that they didn't want it anymore, and just said, "We're almost there, just in front, let's go take a look first."

Song Ying looked around and saw that they had indeed arrived at Yunshuifang, so it would be no harm to take a look.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a government official came out of a noodle shop in front. When Fang Yazi saw him, he immediately waved excitedly: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

He trotted over, leaving Song Ying and the other two behind. The three of them stayed there waiting for him, keeping a distance from government officials.

Song Ying raised his eyebrows, thinking that this Fang Yazi really had connections with the government.

Seeing Fang Yazi, the officer immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll bring them over to see the shop." Fang Yazi turned his head and pointed at Song Ying and the other two.

The officer looked in the direction of his finger. Song Ying and the other two had no choice but to smile at the officer from a distance.

Seeing that Fang Yazi was doing his job, the officer's expression improved a lot, and he asked again: "What kind of shop do you want to open?"

"The one selling pancreas." Fang Yazi answered, turned around and waved to Song Ying and the other two, motioning them to come over.

No matter how reluctant they were, the three had no choice but to go over.

"Let me introduce him to you. This is my brother-in-law, the deputy director of the Taxation Department. Since you are doing business, you will inevitably have to deal with him in the future."

Song Ying blinked his eyes. The Taxation Department, is it in charge of paying taxes? Thinking of the summer tax and autumn grain tax, he felt even worse. How could he forget that he had to pay taxes when doing business?

While she was thinking, Luo Yanxing had already asked in confusion, "We are all good citizens and will not cause trouble. Why do we have to interact with the government?"

Song Ying was very anxious, but Luo Yanxing had already spoken, and she couldn't cover her mouth in front of the officers.

Oh no, I won’t have to pay additional taxes for the business in the previous month or so, right?

Fang Yazi was stunned for a moment, and explained: "I think this is your first time doing business. Business requires paying business taxes. The Taxation Department is responsible for the county's business taxes, liquor taxes, etc."

Luo Yanxing widened her eyes and also remembered that she had not paid taxes on the pancreas she sold for more than a month. She closed her mouth and dared not say anything more, but soon remembered that Fang Yazi knew that they had also sold pancreas before, and she became even more frightened.

At the same time, she was extremely glad that she did not force Manager Qi to see the official, otherwise he would have to pay the tax on the spot!

The Sicheng immediately saw what they were thinking and worried about, and said, "My last name is Wang. I've also heard about your selling of pancreas. Forget about the previous part, but now that you've opened the shop, you can't fail to pay the business tax."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Sicheng Wang. I hope you can take care of me in the future." Logically speaking, he should hand over some more money at this time, but Song Ying has been in the Shen Mansion for so long and has not learned this trick, mainly because he felt too distressed.

If she gave these people too little money, they would look down on it and would even call her stingy behind her back. If she gave too much, she would be heartbroken. She usually didn't want to spend any.

Therefore, Song Ying, relying on his young age and ignorance, pretended not to understand these things and said to Wang Sicheng: "In the future, if Sicheng needs pancreas, come to our shop. We will give it to you at cost price and we will not make any profit from you."

She originally wanted to say that she was giving it to Wang Sicheng, but she was worried that Wang Sicheng was a black-hearted person, and would use this sentence to take soap from their shop every few days, which would really attract a long-term parasite.

Wang Sicheng nodded, his expression expressionless, "Then you guys go and get busy first."

After saying that, he left first.

Song Ying was a little nervous and asked Lin Wenxuan in a low voice, "When will the clinic pay the business tax? Why haven't I heard from my uncle?"

She had been studying at Huichun Hall since last winter, and it had been five months now. She had never seen anyone from the Taxation Department come to her house, nor had she heard Doctor Ma mention paying taxes, otherwise she would not have thought of this at all when she was selling pancreas.

"The clinic does not pay commercial taxes. We are under the jurisdiction of the medical training department of the county medical officer's office." Lin Wenxuan answered in a low voice.

But Fang Yazi was right beside them, and he could hear their voices no matter how soft they were, so he comforted them, "Don't worry, my friends. Our County Magistrate Chen is very lenient to the people, and he doesn't charge taxes for those who occasionally bring their own vegetables, fruits and melons to the city to sell.

The pancreas you sold on the streets before can also be classified into this category, and you will not be asked to pay additional taxes. However, since you want to do this business for a long time, you have to pay the commercial tax in the future.

Although he felt heartbroken, Song Ying quickly responded, "Of course, we will pay taxes properly in the future!"

Fang Yazi added: "My brother-in-law just has a bad face. He is actually a very good person. As long as you pay your taxes properly, he will not make things difficult for you. If there are any more hooligans causing trouble, you can go to the government office to find him and he will take care of it."

No matter what kind of person Wang Sicheng is, in front of his brother-in-law, Song Ying and the other two could only flatter him, "Haha, Wang Sicheng is really a good official!"

Fang Yazi narrowed his eyes and smiled, but said modestly: "I can't be called an official, just a low-ranking job."

With this incident, the rest of the journey became very enjoyable. We almost reached the other side of Yunshuifang before finally reaching our destination. From a distance, we saw a very tall apricot tree, as thick as a bowl.

It was now the end of March, the apricot blossoms had long since withered, and the trees were covered with green leaves, which were extremely lush. The slanting branches blocked the plaque above the shop completely.

Upon seeing this, Song Ying could no longer maintain his "joyful" mood, and frowned, "Isn't this blocked too tightly?"

Fang Ya said stubbornly, "It's blocked everywhere. Only the right side is blocked. Come over to the left. You can see the shop clearly from this side."
