Chapter 42: You're Losing
Seeing that Abacus rejected his request to apprentice, Shen Yu's face turned pale and he sighed.
This tone is as if he has carried a great grievance, and even the abacus is so cute that he almost laughs out loud.
"Shen Gongzi, look, this is the account book." Yuedi hurriedly smiled and relieved the siege, still afraid that Shen Yu was short, so she bent down and picked him up and put him on the painting case.
Shen Yu sat cross-legged on the painting case and looked through the account book.
Abacus frowned, this little doll, do you know words?
Shen Yu sat cross-legged on the painting case, flipping over it, and suddenly let out a 'huh' to himself.
"What's wrong?" Yuedi liked Shen Yu very much, and kept watching him from the side, and when she saw him look up, she immediately asked with a smile.
"I'm just weird, Yiyuan lost a lot of money last month." Shen Yu blinked his eyes and said with a confused expression.
"Oh, little doll, how do you see that?" The abacus looked at Shen Yu for the first time and asked with interest.
Shen Yu patted the account book, "I read more than a dozen pages, and calculated that Yiyuan's daily income is about two thousand to three thousand taels of silver. ”
Seeing the abacus nodding, An Yixin looked at Jiang Yan in surprise, such a magnificent five-story restaurant, with a garden-style leisure and entertainment area in the back, is actually only two thousand taels of water a day?
Jiang Yan smiled and did not speak.
An Yixin thought about it for a while, and then understood.
It is estimated that the garden-style leisure and entertainment area is used to entertain distinguished guests, and the income mainly depends on the five-story restaurant.
Although Shen Yu is smart, but after all, he is still young, and going to the restaurant is just eating, and he didn't think of so much for a while, and when he saw the abacus nodding, he continued excitedly. "I chatted with Chef Zhao, and he said that there are more than 30 cooks in Yiyuan, and he takes the most money, 50 taels of silver a month, and some maids not only serve wine and food, but also provide other services according to the requirements of the guests. Some of them cost a lot of money, and each person was given a hundred taels a month. ”
An Yixin really wanted to reach out and stroke his forehead, damn Chef Zhao, how can he say anything to a child!
Yuedi couldn't help but laugh.
"So what?" Only the abacus heard this, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Shen Yu and asked seriously.
"There are more than 30 cooks and more than 100 maids in Yiyuan, and the wages must be high and low, and the low ones account for the majority, so even if each person averages five taels of silver per month, it is one thousand taels a month."
"Yiyuan's daily income is 2,000 taels, and he only earns 1,000 taels a month, so how can he say that Yiyuan is losing?" Abacus's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Shen Yu and asked.
"There is a construction fee here, which says three thousand six hundred taels, twenty sets of gold dishes, one hundred taels, and three hundred red cloud brocade horses, which is probably to make winter clothes for the maids," Shen Yu said as he tilted his head and thought about it, "These miscellaneous things are written on the account, why didn't you write those seafood?" Didn't you pay for all that seafood? Shen Yu said as he reached out for the other account books.
"This little boy, what kind of business does your family have?" Abacus asked.
"My family is not in business, this is the first time I have read the account book, and it is quite fun." Shen Yu said, looked at the spine of several other account books, and raised his head to look at the abacus, "Isn't there a single account dedicated to how much seafood Yiyuan uses every day?" I heard Yixin say that those seafood are very expensive! ”
"The steward of Yiyuan also has a ledger that records how much seafood is used every day, but I don't have it here." Abacus said with a smile.
The child is indeed really smart, and it is really the first time to read the accounts as he said, so he does not know that there are some detailed accounts that he does not have in the hands of a big manager like himself.
Shen Yu nodded, "Chef Zhao said that the kind of big squid we ate at Tingying Pavilion last time was sold for five taels of silver." ”
An Yixin silently reached out and pressed his chest, it was too expensive, it seemed that it was impossible for bombing big squid to become a street food in this time and space.
"So......" Abacus looked at Shen Yu, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"So I estimate that of the two thousand taels of silver that Yiyuan earns every day, it may cost half of the silver to buy things like seafood, Yixin said......"
"Every oil and sauce costs money, and you can't spoil the food." Yixin said with a smile.
Shen Yu nodded and pushed the account book in front of him.
"But that doesn't mean that Yiyuan lost a lot of money last month?" Abacus ignored An Yixin, but stared at Shen Yu and asked.
Shen Yu's eyes widened, and his little face like a dumpling went straight to the abacus face. "Master Abacus, you look down on me as a child, if I hadn't been so alarmist and deceived you first, would you be so interested in getting to the bottom of it and letting me say so much?"
Belch......
The room was silent, and the room burst into laughter.
This little doll looks so cute and innocent, I didn't expect that I even calculated myself.
Abacus laughed, "Little doll, do you really plan to worship me as a teacher?" ”
Shen Yu pushed away the account book in front of him and was about to kneel on the painting case.
An Yixin's movements were never more agile, and he rushed over and held him down. "No, I promised your father that when the matter here is over, I will take you back to learn the piano."
Shen Yu frowned, pursed his lips, and looked at An Yixin pitifully.
An Yixin was unmoved, "No, you have to learn the piano first." ”
Abacus's face sank, "You little girl, such a smart child has to force him to learn the piano, isn't it a waste of genius?" If he learns business with me......"
"Nope." An Yixin didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted loudly.
Abacus was so angry that his face turned white, "You little girl, do you know who I am?" I want to accept apprentices, it has to be the ancestors to accumulate virtue, Hongfu descends from the sky, and the whole family burns high incense together, why are you a little girl so eyeless, and you still don't let it! ”
An Yixin smiled, "Mr. Abacus, I know who you are, but do you know who he is?" He pointed at Shen Yu as he spoke.
A little doll like a pink ball is looking at herself with big black and white eyes.
Just now, the little doll rushed to speak, and the prince didn't introduce it, but when he was able to enter the prince's study, the girl Yuedi was afraid that he was small and inconvenient, so she hugged him and let him sit on the big painting case.
But no matter how high his status is, I think I want to take him as a disciple, so that I won't insult him?
How many princes and grandsons of Jiangguo are still begging me to accept them as apprentices!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited Gongzi Shen today, Gongzi Shen of Wusheng Villa." Brother Qiang, who has not opened his mouth since he entered the door and saluted, said with a smile.
The abacus was stunned, "Martial Saint Shen Sheng's son?" ”
"It doesn't matter who my father is, I want to worship you as a teacher." Shen Yu saw that the momentum of the abacus was weak, and hurriedly shouted.
"Nope." An Yixin was anxious, and stepped forward to block in front of Shen Yu.
It's as if the abacus has suddenly turned into a beast.
The abacus was angry and anxious, "Girl, seeing that you are just Shen Gongzi's maid, how can you call the shots and not let him worship me as a teacher?" ”
An Yixin was stunned, his behavior was too excited, and the old man hurt his self-esteem.
