By the time Qi Jiuli received the two hundred and five copper coins that the shopkeeper Yan asked Guizi to resell the rabbit, she had already yawned several times at the Qiuwei restaurant, read several account books, and drank three bowls of boiling water, as if she was sitting in class.

In ancient times, when science and technology were not developed and there were no high-end products such as electricity, everything needed to be done by yourself, and the accounts were done.

Although Qi Jiuli was not an accountant in modern times, he knew a little bit, and the most important thing was that it was all operated on a computer, saving time and effort.

Okay, now it needs to be handmade, Qi Jiuli was suddenly a little worried, her graffiti-like calligraphy didn't seem to be ready to meet people.

However, Qi Jiuli has already seen the way out of the ledger, and Qiuwei Restaurant has a person who is specifically responsible for purchasing, and it is divided into two pieces of ingredients and utensils, so that the bulk of the expenditure basically does not need Qi Jiuli to count it himself, just report the account for the purchase; Every month, the wages of the workers in the restaurant are the responsibility of the account office, and they also come to the account office to receive their wages every month.

The income is the daily profit, and the autumn restaurant is a big shop, with many types of dishes, and it is necessary to record how many plates of braised pork, how many grilled fish, and how many bowls of white rice are sold every day...... This is a bit trivial, and it is easy to make mistakes, so Qi Jiuli found that in the past account book, there were several places where the income of a day did not match the amount of meals sold.

In this era when there are no paper menus and you can't order food online, the person who serves the food is very important if you want to make as little mistake as possible.

However, Autumn Flavor Restaurant has more than one job of serving food, they have to serve so many dishes every day, and it is inaccurate to rely on memory alone, so they need auxiliary tools.

Qi Jiuli thought of the wooden brand, if a place is set up in front of the kitchen and the lobby, what kind of dishes will be put into the corresponding dishes in the wooden box, and at the end of the day, you can know the exact number of servings, the price of each dish is indicated, and the gross profit of the day will come out.

"Hah-" Thinking about it, Qi Jiuli yawned again, now is the time for breakfast, Qiuwei Restaurant is a big shop, and there are very few people who come to eat breakfast, so she is very idle in the morning, and she is busy working in the back kitchen.

"Jiuli, how do you see it?" Yan Chengtao came down from the second floor and saw the newly appointed bookkeeper apprentice Qi Jiuli's little brother sitting on a high stool behind the counter yawning, his eyes were empty, and in front of him were several closed account books.

"Shopkeeper Yan." Qi Jiuli saw Yan Chengtao, got down from the stool, and greeted respectfully, "Oh, I've finished reading it." ”

Yan Chengtao was stunned, he didn't expect to get this answer, and looked at the three ledgers on the table in disbelief, "Have you finished reading all three?" ”

"Hmm." Qi Jiuli nodded.

Yan Chengtao was surprised and rejoiced, "Did you see anything?" Or is there anything you want to ask? ”

"There is always a difference between the number of dishes sold every day and the income of a day, and I look at this account as if it was all done again." Qi Jiuli said in a low voice.

Yan Chengtao's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Qi Jiuli, he was worthy of his favorite, and he was very capable, "It's hard for you to see it on the first day, okay." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled embarrassedly.

"In the past, when the business was a little worse, there were basically a number of dishes to sell and a few bowls to sell, but when the business was good, it was easy to remember the difference." Yan Chengtao explained, "Then the accounts are not right, but there are not many differences, that is, it is necessary to trouble the accounts to be done after the accounts, most of the time they are small amounts, and there is no need to take care of them." ”

"Oh." Qi Jiuli responded, and then said what he had thought of before, "When the food is served, it is not a matter for the little second brother to put a wooden board before leaving the lobby, that is, in addition to the text on the wooden box, it is best to bring a picture, which can also solve the problem of illiteracy." ”

"At that time, I will count the number every day, and there will always be fewer errors, and the accounts will be more accurate." Qi Jiuli asked, "Shopkeeper Yan thinks this method is not feasible?" ”

Yan Chengtao was shocked, because this method was very good when he heard it, but no one could come up with it before, and he only focused on how to do the accounts again, "Jiuli, your method is very good, let's go and customize wooden cards and wooden boxes now, so that it can come in handy tomorrow." ”

Qi Jiuli didn't expect Yan Chengtao to be such a person who acted at such a heartbeat, but he could see that he was really planning for the shop.

Yan Chengtao said hello to Guizi, and took Qi Jiuli to the shop in the town to do carpentry work.

Along the way, Yan Chengtao said a lot to Qi Jiuli, for example: "The account room in the restaurant is basically statistical accounting, and generally the noble son will also collect money, the guy will lead the person to the counter, and the noble son will calculate the money, but the purpose of the large number cannot be calculated, and it depends on you." ”

"How do you remember the food at each table?" Qi Jiuli asked curiously, she didn't see a menu or note for each table to record meals.

"What they ordered, the young man can basically remember, so when they go to the checkout, they are basically accompanied by the young man, of course, there are times when the wrong meal is served, which is inevitable, but now the guys in the shop are skilled, and there will hardly be such a mistake." Yan Chengtao explained.

"Jiuli, you can tell me anything you think of in the future." Yan Chengtao was very optimistic about Qi Jiuli, and patted Qi Jiuli's shoulder with love.

"Shopkeeper Yan, the kid will work hard." Qi Jiuli responded with a smile.

When he arrived at the carpenter's shop, Qi Jiuli described the size of the wooden card and the style of the box, Yan Chengtao ordered three hundred wooden cards according to the total number of dishes sold recently, and then planned to order fifty boxes, and it was always necessary to order more boxes, but he was stopped by Qi Jiuli, and the wooden cards were ordered first, and the boxes were not in a hurry.

The main reason is that Qi Jiuli is thinking about the situation of modern catering, this brand may be better used, if it is only used to serve food, it seems to be wasted.

When he returned to the Qiuwei restaurant, Qi Jiuli began to look at the layout in the lobby, in modern times, they are all paid according to the number of the table, in order not to make the wrong dishes, the dishes ordered on each table have a list, and they will be crossed out when the dishes are served, and it is not impossible to learn from ancient times.

Qi Jiuli went to the kitchen for a walk, and when he came out, he had more than a dozen small baskets in his hand, and put them on the counter.

"Jiuli, what is this for?" Yan Chengtao is now very curious about Qi Jiuli's ideas from time to time, so he didn't go to the second floor, but stayed directly in the lobby on the first floor, and would always come forward to ask a few words when he saw Qi Jiuli's movements.

"Shopkeeper Yan, I want to number each table, take what brand to put on the table when I order any dish, and when I wait for the corresponding dish, I put the brand in the corresponding basket, so that the dishes are also served, and the money for each table is easy to calculate, and it is not easy to make mistakes at the end of the day."
