Chapter 30: Hidden in the City
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
"Oh, I mean, it's hard."
Guo Dan said casually.
Kou Samei glanced at the table slightly, and didn't seem to care, and asked, "Husband, why are you here?" ”
Guo Dan sighed: "Didn't my father-in-law tell you?" ”
"Say what?"
"Oh, my father-in-law has arranged for me to come to the dental store yesterday to do some chores."
"Odd jobs?"
Kou Lian frowned slightly, "How can Daddy let your husband do your chores, husband, if you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself." ”
She actually didn't want Guo Dan to come to the store to help, because Guo Dan always did wrong things before, and she never blamed Guo Dan, so she could only protect Guo Dan, but this would affect her prestige, you must know that she is a woman, and it is much more difficult for her to establish her authority than a man, which is why Kou Shouxin did not consult her in advance.
Why else, isn't it just that I don't take money and don't work. Guo Dan pretended to be only as if he said: "No... No, I'm willing to do this job, otherwise, my father-in-law will be unhappy if I am idle all day long. ”
After hearing this, Kou Zhuan Sha also guessed why Kou Shouxin let Guo Dan come here, nodded and said, "Okay then." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "If it's okay, then I'll go out to work first." ”
"Hmm."
After Guo Dan went out, Kou Zhuansha shook her head helplessly, suddenly, her eyes fell on the information on the table, frowned slightly, reached out and picked it up, looked at it carefully, looked at it, she suddenly sat on the chair, held the pen on the paper and counted it, after a long time, she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and the plain hand holding the pen trembled slightly, "Really... Really miscalculated. ”
After a while, she woke up suddenly, and shook her head again: "Impossible, this... This should be that I misheard, he just looked at it, how could it be calculated so quickly, I had to calculate it for a while while while holding the pen, I must have heard it wrong. ”
Having said that, there was confusion in her eyes.
......
With the passage of time, more and more customers came to the door, and this was the first time Guo Dan observed how this dental bank operated, and he found that this dental bank was still very different from the financial and trading companies in later generations.
Many customers come here with calligraphy, painting, porcelain to ask for the price, that is, let the tooth shop to mark the price of these items, because the calligraphy and painting of these goods are works of art, there is no clear price, need to know the person to judge, some directly entrust the tooth shop to help him.
This is the most common purchase and sale in stores.
Guo Dan also understands why the tooth people sitting in the storefront are all so old, and they do need to accumulate experience in this business, antique calligraphy and painting, silk porcelain, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, real estate and land, everything has to be understood, of course, this only belongs to the elite level, ordinary tooth people are still divided into different types, some tooth people are specialized in reading calligraphy and painting, and some are looking at porcelain.
In ancient times, there was no such professional school, they were all apprentices, and the apprentices were responsible for standing at the door to receive customers, and according to the needs of customers, to introduce tooth people.
Even if it is this kind of work, Guo Dan in the past and now can't do it well, Guo Dan's work now is mainly to serve tea and water, pass information, at first some people paid attention to him, but his perfect performance made everyone gradually forget his existence.
"Guest, please have tea."
Guo Dan placed a cup of tea in front of a customer.
But the customer didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the tooth man sitting opposite him expectantly.
Wow! What kind of treasure is this? Guo Dan was curious and couldn't help but slow down.
Then he saw that the tooth man facing the customer put down a land deed and said, "Your house is worth about fifty taels." ”
The customer laughed and said, "Isn't it a hundred taels?" ”
"One hundred taels?"
The toothed man was stunned, and then shook his head and said: "Based on the housing price in this capital, your house is worth fifty taels at most, and it is impossible to sell it for one hundred taels." ”
The customer said: "But I heard that last time, your Ya Store sold Chen Lou to Jin Yulou at double the price, and this one hundred taels is not too much." ”
The tooth man laughed angrily and said, "If you really want to sell it for a hundred taels, our tooth shop can help you sell it at this price, but this commission may be a hundred taels." ”
is worthy of being called a tooth man, and they are really all eloquent. Guo smiled and shook his head, turned around and continued to get busy.
Although Chen Lou's transaction brought a lot of business to the Kou family before, it also brought a lot of distress, and many people directly asked for the price, as if the Kou family's tooth people were all gods, and they would double it if they didn't agree.
After a while, as some of the customers left, the store was less busy, and the tooth people in the store began to whisper, and they were all talking about a topic.
"Have you heard that the Li family bought back the bad soil in the western suburbs at a price of two thousand five hundred taels."
"Of course I heard about it, it is said that it was all caused by the skinny monkey."
"Not to mention, that thin monkey is really powerful, how much commission does he have to get this time."
"If you ignore the rules of our tooth shop, this trick of the thin monkey is indeed a beautiful game."
"Hmph, is money important, or life important, but I heard that the thin monkey was beaten half to death by Prince Li, and now he is still lying at home, but I am afraid that he will not be able to go out for several days."
......
The matter of the Xu family and the Li family has already spread, and Xu Jirong, who finally turned over, did not blow it up, and soon became the hottest topic today, especially in Yaxing, which was spread loudly, because this transaction was simply a classic case in the eyes of Yaren, a stinky pond that could be said to be worthless, and it turned out to be two thousand five hundred taels, which was too incredible and worthy of everyone's study.
And they don't know that the author of all this is sweeping the ground with a broom, and now there is very little garbage, but there is a lot of dirt, after all, it is not a concrete floor, there is mud everywhere, and there is a wave of guests, and the ground is full of mud footprints.
How can they guess if they haven't watched "Dragon Babu".
At this time, Kou Zhuan Sha suddenly walked out of the back room, and suddenly the store was silent.
Kou Zhuansha put the account in front of the long table in the account room, and said lightly: "I'll hand it over to me next time if the calculation is correct." ”
The account room was stunned for a moment, then stood up, and said with sincere fear: "I'm sorry, eldest lady, I was negligent, and there will be no next time." ”
Kou Liansha didn't listen, just glanced at Guo Dan who was sweeping the floor at the door, and then went back to the back room.
Before you know it, it's noon.
"No danger, no danger, and it's noon again."
Guo Dan put the broom back in the corner, stretched his waist, looked at the clean floor, the polished porcelain, and felt very satisfied, completing the work perfectly, no matter what the content of the work was, it was a kind of enjoyment for him.
At this time, Kou Liansha's personal maid, the slave, walked over, bent down slightly and said, "Uncle, the eldest lady asked you to go in for lunch." ”
Kou Zhuan yarn is usually eaten here at noon.
It was at this moment that my father-in-law was really prescient. Guo Dan's eyes lit up, that Kou Shouxin asked him to come here to do chores, and his main purpose was to let him have more contact with Kou Zhuansha.
When she entered the room, she saw Kou Zhuansha standing in front of the table, and she bowed her head slightly and said, "Husband." ”
was so polite, but it made Guo Dan a little uncomfortable, and he also shouted: "Madam." ”
"Please."
"Please."
This couple really respects each other.
In Guo Dan's memory, their husband and wife rarely dine together, even when they sit together to eat, most of the people who are trustworthy are shining beside them.
The two sat opposite each other, and there were very simple three dishes on the table, one meat and two vegetables, which were similar to what Guo Dan usually ate.
Seeing Kou Zhuansha looking at him again, Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, thinking, could it be that I have become handsome recently? But soon he reacted, quickly picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat." ”
Only then did Kou Zhuan Sha pick up the chopsticks.
It's tiring enough to have a meal with her. Guo Dan wiped his sweat and began to muttered in his heart, this Kou Liansha has always felt very weird to him, if you want to say that you look down on him, but no matter who comes before or after, Kou Liansha respects him very much, but if you want to say respect, Kou Liansha does not have sex with him.
"Husband."
Kou Zhuan Sha suddenly shouted.
"Hmm."
Guo Dan raised his head, still biting a green vegetable in his mouth.
Kou Liansha couldn't help but wonder.
Guo Dan hurriedly swallowed it and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Kou Zhuansha asked, "I don't know if my husband comes to the store to do such a trivial thing, but you are still used to it?" ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Still... OK. ”
Kou Zhuansha said: "But I always think it's not good to let my husband do these things. ”
Guo sighed: "But I can't do other things, I can't do these trivial things well, at least it won't hurt the business of the tooth shop." ”
Kou Zhuansha suddenly asked: "I remember that my husband said that the accounts were very difficult in the morning, could it be that you have learned to settle accounts before, husband?" ”
If you don't understand it at all, how can you know how easy it is?
She's so thoughtful, and I just say it and she's able to get so much information out of it. Guo Dan's reaction was also extremely fast, and said: "I have learned some arithmetic before. ”
Kou Zhuansha said: "Since you have learned arithmetic, husband, it is better to go to the account room to do things." ”
Going to the bookkeeper to do something? Follow a group of old men there every day to settle accounts? Dizzy, then it's better to be this little brother. Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I... I want to keep doing this. ”
Kou Zhuansha was surprised: "Why? ”
Guo Dan was born as a scholar, and when he chooses between a pen and a broom, of course he chooses a pen!
Guo Dan sighed and said, "Because my father-in-law gave me before... I have been given too many chances, but I have not done any of them, I have always disappointed my father-in-law, this time I don't want to disappoint his old man again, I want to do this well first. ”
Kou Liansha looked at Guo Dan in shock.
Guo Danwei said: "Did I say something wrong? ”
Kou Liansha was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, I just think that if Daddy hears this, he will be very happy." ”
That's what I want, a motivated youth. Guo Dan secretly rejoiced.
"Faint! Faint! ”
Suddenly, I heard an arrogant and stupid shout outside.
