Chapter 159: The Two's Specialty Work
"Chief Guard, do you have something to do here tonight?" After the steward finished training the bookkeeper, he turned his head to see the chief of the book, and his face immediately changed, and he saw that the anger on the steward's face had not subsided, and his smile rose again, looking really strange and funny.
"It's not a big deal, these two brothers are Li Chuyi's distant cousins, come to us Wulitou to find a job, ask me to be a guarantee, I don't know if you are short of people now?" The chief pointed at Zhao Xian and the others and said.
When the steward heard Li Chuyi's name, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Chuyi and asked cautiously, "Brother Li is ......?" ”
The chief seemed to understand what the steward meant, and nodded, "It's that cousin." ”
The smile on the steward's face suddenly became attentive, and he waved his hand to a small servant standing not far away and said, "Go, quickly make a few cups of good tea, don't you see any guests here?" The little man hurriedly complied, and quickly ran to another room to boil water and make tea.
As soon as the steward said that, he stretched out his hand and led the chief to sit down on a few chairs by the wall, and said, "Since I am a distant cousin of Brother Li, and I have the chief of security as a guarantor, I don't have to worry about this identity, but now my place is full." ”
Seeing that the chief and Li Chuyi looked at him silently, the steward looked embarrassed, and after muttering for a while, he looked Zhao Xian and the others up and down, and hesitated: "You two are ...... body."
Zhao Xian hurriedly took a step forward and bowed her hand and said, "I just listened to the words of the steward and the bookkeeper, it seems that there is a lack of a little guy who knows how to calculate accounts, why don't you let me try?" ”
The steward was overjoyed when he heard this, but when he saw this Zhao Xian, he looked stunned, looking unshrewd, and a little unconvinced: "You know this? ”
Yin Ren saw that Zhao Xian dared to take it like this, he must have some real skills, and he was busy helping behind: "My younger brother, he can't carry it on his shoulders or hands on weekdays, and he doesn't know much, but he is very talented in accounting, and if he doesn't believe it, he can compare it." ”
Li Chuyi also echoed in the back: "Extremely! Extremely! ”
The steward waved to the bookkeeper, and the bookkeeper hurriedly took the booklet into his arms, and walked over upside down, and the housekeeper said to the bookkeeper: "Now you can make a page of accounts at random, and see if he can understand?" The bookkeeper answered, and went to the table in the brightest part of the storehouse and began to write.
The steward turned to Yin Ren again and asked, "Your brother now has a skill, but what do you know?" ”
Yin Ren said with a smile: "Although I am not strong enough, I also have two strengths to do work on weekdays, and I can do everything I can do." ”
The steward nodded, and happened to see the little guy who came up with tea, so he asked the little guy, "Are there still people who need to move the goods now?" ”
The little guy lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "The day before yesterday, there was a person who sprained his waist while carrying it, and he needed to recuperate for some time. ”
The steward pointed to the pile of sacks in the corner of the wall and said to Yin Ren, "You go and try it." ”
Yin Ren lifted the hem of his clothes, tied a knot at his waist, rolled up his sleeves and walked there, without seeing how to exert force, he picked up the two bags of things in one hand and one bag, easily walked around the warehouse and put them back in place, and when he walked back to the steward, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he did not even take a small breath, and the steward had a little satisfaction on his face.
At this time, the bookkeeper had already taken an account he had made at random, handed it to Zhao Xian, and asked, "You may understand?" ”
Zhao Xian picked up the account page, looked at it, and almost laughed out loud, it turned out that this was a running account, on which "income" and "expenditure" were recorded, she saw the accounts of this era for the first time, and thought that this account was really rough, and the accounts of later generations could not be compared at all. Such a simple account is compared to her, wouldn't it make her pick up this job in vain?
On his face, he pretended to be extremely serious, looked at it carefully, raised his head and said, "This is easy." ”
The bookkeeper asked, "If you tell me what it is, can I see in this account how many goods have been in and out of the past seven days?" ”
Zhao Xian didn't think about it, and pointed to the above lines with her hand and said: "In seven days, a total of 278 bags of rice and 236 bags of flour were harvested, 156 bags of rice and 138 bags of flour were shipped out, and now there are 122 bags of rice and 114 bags of flour left. After reporting the number, she smiled secretly in her heart, such a simple account, she could calculate it with her mouth alone.
Seeing that she did not use an abacus, the bookkeeper casually reported the number clearly, and looked at her in surprise, and said to the steward: "The calculation is not bad, and the number is very clear." ”
The steward nodded again and said, "You two are not bad, now I will talk about the rules of our place, if you want to do it here for a long time, you must first be tight-mouthed, and secondly, you must not go out of town at will, you two are willing?" ”
Yin Ren nodded and said: "This is easy, my brothers and sisters don't know each other very well, their mouths are tight, and they won't go out of town at will, please rest assured." It's just that my two artificial money is how to calculate? ”
The steward smiled and said: "Our wages here are extremely rich, don't worry about this, your brother's salary is one or two pieces of silver per month, if you do a good job, you can add more; But your wages are determined by the amount you carry each day. ”
Yin Ren heard that Zhao Xian had a tael of silver every month, and his face pretended to be happy, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for being in charge, when will the two of us be able to work?" ”
The steward looked at the hourglass on the table and said, "It's not early, so you can go back tonight and rest for the night, and come here on time tomorrow." ”
After Yin Ren thanked a few people again, he walked out of the warehouse with Li Chuyi and walked back to the thatched hut before.
Li Chuyi said: "You two do a good job, and you will be paid well in the future, and my rent will also be settled." ”
Yin Ren said with a smile: "If this is the case, when we get the salary, we will come to thank Brother Li." He pretended to be curious and asked, "I saw that the chief of the security department and the steward all talked about Brother Li's cousin, and he seems to be a great figure when he listens to it?" ”
"What a great character? It's just a ......" Li Chuyi snorted from his nose, and halfway through his words, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to say this in front of outsiders, in case it reached his cousin's ears, he couldn't lose the benefits, so he stopped the conversation and said stupidly: "You guys rest, tomorrow you go by yourself, I won't follow." ”
Yin Ren saw that Li Chuyi stopped talking, knowing that he must feel that he was not familiar with him, and the second half of the sentence was inconvenient to say, just looking at his expression and tone, he knew that this person was obviously jealous of his cousin, and if he was familiar with it in the future, he would definitely be able to find out what they wanted to know, especially this person seemed to be extremely greedy for money.
Yin Renfang latched the door shut, turned around to look at Zhao Xian, and saw that she was already sitting on the edge of the bed made of earth, leaning against the wall and falling asleep, he hurriedly put down his footsteps, quietly walked to the broken cabinet, took out the clothes in the baggage, and when he returned to Zhao Xian, he slowly laid her flat on the bed and gently covered her with the clothes in his hand.
Seeing that Zhao Xian was sleeping soundly, Yin Ren knew that her injuries had not completely healed, and he had traveled many ways to come here, presumably because he was extremely tired.
Yin Ren thought of this, so he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared at Zhao Xian blankly by the extremely dim light on the corner table, but there were many thoughts in his heart.
