Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bargaining

(I found out that I missed this chapter before, hurry up and make up for it!) οΌ‰

Taking the first cloth bag from the bolt's hand, opening it and handing it to Li Mingqian, Wang Hibiscus said: "This is the best quality cotton selected from this batch of cotton, and I plan to price it for sixty wen a catty." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

Li Mingqian grabbed a cotton flower from the cloth bag and looked through it.

"The quality is really good." Li Mingqian said with a smile and did not respond to the price she proposed.

Wang Jian was not in a hurry, took out the second cloth bag and handed it to him, and said, "This is medium-quality cotton, and the price is forty wen a catty." ”

After a brief look, Li Mingqian bowed slightly.

Handing him the third cloth bag, Wang Jin said: "This is a slightly flawed, second-class cotton, priced at twenty wen a catty." ”

Li Mingqian was a little surprised when he heard this, even if there were a few flaws, the price was too low.

Handing the three cloth bags to the middle-aged shopkeeper behind him, Li Mingqian thought for a while, looked at the sacks piled up like a high wall on the right, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

He smiled slightly and said, "I don't know how much high-grade cotton and second-grade cotton there are in this girl?" ”

"Five thousand catties of high-grade cotton, and five thousand catties of inferior cottonβ€”" Wang Jin paused and said with a smile, "Fifteen hundred catties." ”

Li Mingqian couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this: "When the girl starts a business, Li Mou sighs to herself!" ”

"Old Wu, go and call everyone." He said this to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper stepped back and led the guys into the warehouse and began to inspect and load the goods.

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, Wang Jin was happy and a little uneasy.

"You... Won't lose money, right? She asked hesitantly.

Li Mingqian smiled: "Expensive to buy is naturally expensive to sell, more people pay, the girl doesn't have to worry." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Jian was relieved. He can't deliberately take care of his own business and let him lose money.

The warehouse was full of people, and the two of them went back to the next hut to wait.

Because of the experience of the past, this time Li Mingqian brought enough manpower and carriages, and with the help of Wang Jin's family workers, the entire warehouse was emptied in half an hour.

"This batch of goods totals 14,000 catties, 5,000 catties of first-class cotton, 7,500 catties of second-class cotton, and 1,500 catties of second-class cotton." The shopkeeper entered the hut and reported to her and Li Mingqian.

"No problem, it's this number." Wang Jin bowed slightly.

"According to the girl's price, the price of the goods is six hundred and thirty taels, and in addition to the deposit of one hundred and fifty taels in advance, four hundred and eighty taels of silver need to be paid." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The girl is still directly in the money bank this time?" ”

Wang Jian nodded: "Well, it's troublesome." ”

"No trouble, no trouble!" Just like last time, the shopkeeper took out the silver slip of Tongli Qianzhuang and asked Li Mingqian to fill in the silver taels and stamp it, and then handed it to Wang Jin.

Then he took out a narrow notebook from his bosom, turned the blank page, and took a brush to make notes.

When this one was finished, he took out another notebook and recorded the same thing.

Inadvertently glimpsed the familiar tables above, and Wang Jin realized that the shopkeeper was actually using the double-entry bookkeeping method she had taught Li Mingqian.

She turned her head to look at Li Mingqian, he also understood, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

After the shopkeeper made a record, he did not put away the notebook, but handed it to Li Mingqian.

Li Mingqian took it in his hand, but he smiled and handed it to Wang Jin.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look stunned.

Wang Jin opened the notebook and turned directly to the page he had just filled in, and there were no errors in the subjects and amounts of the borrower and the borrower.

"Is there a record of the previous deposit?" She asked.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper came back to his senses, flipped the notebook in his hand to the page where the advance deposit was recorded before, and handed it to Wang Jin.

"Yes, no problem." She returned the notebook to the shopkeeper and nodded.

Flipping through the second book, Wang Jin was a little surprised, this book turned out to be the accounting voucher of Tongli Qianzhuang, and she looked at Li Mingqian with doubts in her eyes.

"Lao Wu is one of the Li family's big shopkeepers." Li Mingqian said with a smile.

I see.

She smiled at the shopkeeper Wu, checked the corresponding records, and returned the notebook to him.

"It is worthy of being a big treasurer, these records are well organized, complicated but not chaotic." Wang Jin admired. To be able to learn this set of bookkeeping methods in such a short period of time, the big shopkeeper of the Li family really has two brushes.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, old and stupid, Childe has taught many geniuses and barely learned some skin." The shopkeeper Wu said more and more respectfully.

Wang Jinwan smiled, thinking that this Wu shopkeeper was originally polite and polite to himself, and I am afraid that he will be even more respectful in the future.

"Old Wu, you go and arrange to transport the things back." Li Mingqian commanded.

The shopkeeper of Wu took the order to go out.

No wonder the son treated this girl differently, it turned out that the bookkeeping method was related to her. While directing the convoy to set off, the shopkeeper Wu thought that he would pay more attention to Miss Wang in the future!

"There's nothing to do next, Li Gongzi and I will go back together!" Looking at the distant convoy, Wang Jin went to a matter of heart again, was in a very good mood, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, the girl didn't say that I was going too, cousin, they are still at the girl's house!" Li Mingqian said with a smile.

The two walked side by side, and there were several ancient ginkgo trees planted on the side of the road, with thick branches and golden leaves sprinkled all over the ground, like a carpet, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"Childe has already implemented this accounting method?" Wang Jian said curiously.

"Not yet, at present, let the big shopkeepers be familiar with its usage and rules, and then teach the shopkeepers in the future." Li Mingqian replied with a smile.

Wang Jian nodded, if it was carried out so quickly, then the Li family would be a little terrifying.

"I didn't expect Xue'er and Minyu to come today," Wang Jin was still surprised, "how did you bring them out?" ”

When Li Mingqian heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Ahem... Yesterday, my aunt took my cousin to visit Mrs. Ruan in Ruan's house, but she couldn't stand the two of them, and said that I would take care of them, so I only let them go out today. He coughed lightly, his expression a little unnatural.

Wang Jin didn't pay attention and said with a smile: "Xue'er and Minyu's obsessive and coquettish kung fu is indeed not something that ordinary people can stop. ”

Thinking of a certain picture he encountered in his mother's courtyard yesterday, Li Mingqian also shook his head helplessly and smiled: "It's really difficult for a little girl to deal with when she is coquettish. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Jin. What will this little girl look like if she is coquettish?

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two of them heard a burst of laughter from inside.

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count, the one just now doesn't count, I didn't see it clearly!" Ruan Minyu took back the card she had just thrown out and shouted, "Do it all over again!" ”

Wang Mu still has a small face as usual, and he can't see his joy and anger; Wang Shi's face was so neat, even a little careless; Zhuang Xue looked a little nervous, looked at the cards in her hand, flipped over the cards on the table, bit her lip and tried to think.

Ruan Minyuxiu's eyebrows were furrowed, and her index finger lingered on the cards in her hand, hesitating.

"Get out of this." A soft voice sounded behind him.

Ruan Minyu turned her head in surprise: "Sister Jin'er, you're back!" ”

"Cousin!" Zhuang Xue also called.

"What are you guys playing?" Li Mingqian looked at the somewhat strange-looking card in her hand with interest and asked.

"It's a kind of card that Brother Mu'er and Brother Shi'er taught us to play, it's fun!" Zhuang Xue said with a smile.

"Oh? Then I'm going to see how it works. Li Mingqian said with a smile.

According to Wang Jin's prompt, Ruan Minyu played a few rounds of cards, and although she didn't win, she also won second place, which is her best result so far!

She became more and more interested, pulled Wang Jian as a military advisor, and finally won once, and she almost jumped with joy.

Zhuang Xue on the side is not happy, she hasn't won yet!

"Out of a five." In the new round, she played her cards first, and when she was hesitating, she heard Li Mingqian say in her ear.

"Cousin?" Zhuang Xue was a little surprised, but out of unconditional trust in Li Mingqian, he played his cards according to his prompts.

Sure enough, she won the game.

"Haha, cousin, you're so good, you learned it after just a few rounds!" Zhuang Xue said excitedly and admired.

Li Mingqian smiled faintly.

"I'm going to prepare lunch, you guys play by yourself." Wang Jin looked at the time and said.

"Huh? As soon as Sister Jin'er leaves, I will definitely keep losing. Ruan Minyu pouted.

Wang Jin thought about it, went to his room and took a few strings of copper coins and brought them over, and one of them divided a string.

"Mu'er Shi'er, you teach them to play dry staring, so that they can still win and lose." Wang Jin smiled, "All the copper coins you win will belong to you." ”

Wang Shi couldn't help but cheer, and Ruan Minyu also said happily: "I will stare at me, I don't need to be taught by the younger brothers of the Wang family." ”

Wang Mu suddenly spoke: "The dry staring you said should be different from what we are playing. ”

Wang Jin understood what his brother meant, and couldn't help laughing.

Ruan Min Yuqi said: "Are there still several kinds of dry stare?" ”

Saying that, she supported her waist with both hands, stared at Wang Mu with wide eyes, and said, "Isn't that so?" ”

I don't know if Ruan Minyu's eyes are too hot, Wang Mu was stared at and his face turned red, so he quickly lowered his head, grabbed the cards, cleared his throat and said: "What my sister said about dry staring is a kind of card play, I'll teach you." ”

Seeing that they got along well, Wang Jin went to the kitchen to help, and Li Mingqian also followed.

"You don't play?" She was amazed.

"How can it be better to bully the small." He smiled.

Seeing that he seemed to have plans to follow him all the way to the kitchen, she couldn't help but say, "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen." ”

He raised his eyebrows and hooked his lips and said, "I'm afraid that in the girl's heart, I'm not a gentleman for a long time!" ”

Wang Jin smiled and said, "The kitchen is full of fumes, I'm afraid it will smoke the son." ”

"Can't you smoke it?" Li Mingqian smiled lightly, "Besides, I also want to see the girl's cooking skills." ”

Wang Jian was about to say something, but he caught a glimpse of a small man in front of him who was bumping and carrying a basin of water, and his feet were suddenly unstable, and he was about to fall down immediately.

"Tang'er!" Wang Jin shouted anxiously.

A figure rushed forward, took the basin, and held the little man's body.

Wang Jian hurriedly ran up and grabbed Wang Tang to check up and down, "Did you touch anything, does it hurt?" ”

"Tang'er didn't fall, it didn't hurt." Wang Tang smiled sweetly.

Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Li Mingqian: "Thank you." ”

"It should." Li Mingqian smiled.

"Why doesn't Tang'er play with her brothers and sisters in front? What about the mother? Wang Jin brought the wooden basin to the stove and put the fungus in it to soak.

"Tang'er has to learn to cook, and she has no time to play." Wang Tang said seriously, "My mother just went to Xiaocao's house to borrow salt." ”

Wang Jin couldn't help but scratch her nose and said, "I thought your eldest brother was serious and hard working, but I didn't expect my Tang'er to work hard to learn to cook!" ”

She took out two chairs, one large and one small, and put them aside, letting Li Mingqian and Wang Tang sit and quickly dispose of the ingredients by herself.

After a while, Chen came back with salt, and wanted to help, but was coaxed and persuaded by Wang Jinlian to push him to the front hall to greet Ruan Minyu and them.

Rolling up his sleeves, Wang Hibiscus was ready to start a big job.
