Manbao was somewhat curious about the grain tax collection. After Zhou Sanlang came and finished the remaining buns, she followed him to join the excitement.
All the men in line were of age; let alone a child like Manbao, not even an adolescent like Zhou Liulang was there, so the surrounding people cast a curious glance at them.
Manbao quickly squeezed in just in time to see a tax officer measuring the grain with a vessel. After checking the household registration and the note clipped in the registry book, he sang out, "Zhou Hu, two adult males, must deliver four dan of grain, four zhang of silk, and four liang of cotton."
