Yu Xiaohuan sat in the store for a long time, tasteless. Thinking about the only young grandmother of her dignified Xu family, she was openly ridiculed by others, but she still accepted her fate, it was so unproductive.

"Bring the ledger!" In a fit of rage, she simply checked the accounts.

Mr. Bookkeeper thinks that his account is beautiful, even if the old lady comes, he can cope with it, and he is naturally not afraid of a layman's investigation.

Who knew that Yu Xiaohuan looked around and really found a few problems, so the opportunity to raise his eyebrows came.

She took the account book, walked up to the bookkeeper confidently, and said: "Isn't the second batch of goods already sold out, why is the total quantity sold not equal to the total quantity purchased?" ”

Mr. Bookkeeper was a little confused, he never expected that the young grandmother would be so bored that she would add up the number of retail sales one by one to check the total, anyway, he had never done a bookkeeper, and the inventory was gone, that is, it was sold out.

"Wait a minute, little grandma, check it." He counted it around, a little panicked, checked it again, and panicked even more. "I remember, the guy who was the point at the time said it was sold out......"

"Don't you have to check?" Yu Xiaohuan immediately asked.

"I ...... Sometimes it's too busy and forgets. The bookkeeper hurriedly explained.

I haven't seen how busy you are these days! Yu Xiaohuan said a word, but on the surface, he quietly moved on to the next question: "Look at this account again, why is the sales price lower than the purchase price?" Judging from the books, this batch of goods is very sought-after, and a lot of them can be sold every day before and after the sales date, so why are they sold at a low price? ”

The bookkeeper was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The small one is only responsible for bookkeeping, and the small one is not very clear about this business matter." ”

"You keep accounts every day, and you should be more sensitive to numbers than others, can't you even find such an obvious problem at that time?" Yu Xiaohuan reprimanded what he was going to say reluctantly, "There are some other questions, so I don't need to come out one by one, right?" ”

"Small...... Recheck immediately. The bookkeeper took the account book and immediately buried his head in checking it.

Yu Xiaohuan still held a posture, with a straight face, turned his head to the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper knows how to deal with this matter, right?" ”

"The little one should find out what is going on as soon as possible, and give the young grandmother an explanation as soon as possible." The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, but he still said calmly.

"Okay, then tomorrow the investigation is clear, and then go to the next store to find me." Yu Xiaohuan was unceremonious, so he directly set the deadline, so as not to make these guys want to make a big thing and a small thing behind their backs.

The fact that the first store was repaired by Yu Xiaohuan on the last day quickly spread to the second store, and when Yu Xiaohuan arrived as a young grandmother, the people in the second store were much more "enthusiastic" than the people in the first store. They fully learned the lesson of the first store, and adjusted the strategy of "overhead" to "not let the young grandmother be idle" in time, just in case the young grandmother had time to go through the old accounts.

The second shop is a jade shop that sells finely carved and high-quality jade.

Yu Xiaohuan saw that they had taken precautions, and was deliberately told to look at the account book to see how they responded, but the shopkeeper immediately lost his face and said, "Young grandma, you have to help us!" ”

Sure enough, it came

Yu Xiaohuan looked calm and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just—" the shopkeeper paused, and then continued, "the goods bought and sold in our store are relatively valuable, and there are often some wives of dignitaries who need to deliver to their doors, or pay on credit. ”

Yu Xiaohuan understood it at once, but the shopkeeper didn't explain it, so she pretended not to understand. "And then?"

"Then, there are some personal wives who delay settling the bill." The shopkeeper was quite embarrassed and said, "Among them, Mrs. Lu in the south of the city bought a set of jade jewelry worth two hundred taels on credit in the store half a year ago, and there is still one hundred and eighty taels left unpaid. In the past six months, Mrs. Lu has intermittently taken credit in our store several times, but she has not settled the final payment. , The store has sent men to urge many times, but they have been shirked by the subordinates of the Lu Mansion for various reasons. ”

Yu Xiaohuan couldn't help but wonder: "Since the balance has not been settled, why did you pay her credit in the future?" ”

"The young grandmother doesn't know, the wife of the dignitary, we don't want to offend." The shopkeeper said with a melancholy face, "Most of the business in our store depends on the patronage of these ladies. ”

"So, what does the shopkeeper mean?" Yu Xiaohuan thought, they didn't want me to collect debts, right?

"We are subordinates, and it is inconvenient to always go to other people's houses." I heard the shopkeeper say slowly, "Young grandmother, you have a noble status, and it is understandable to occasionally walk around the mansions of other dignitaries and nobles, and contact other ladies." ”

"Well, you just said that I would go and ask for a debt!" Yu Xiaohuan directly pierced and said.

"Young Grandma Bingxue is smart!" The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and complimented him awkwardly, "Maybe you can have a good chat with Mrs. Lu, and people will settle the account quickly, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Two words popped up in Yu Xiaohuan's heart: Hehe!

"Then I'll go to Lu's house tomorrow." Anyway, these people will always find her something troublesome to do, so Yu Xiaohuan simply responded to this first errand.

As for why it was postponed until tomorrow, it was natural to leave some time for the trustworthy people around her to inquire about the situation of the Lu family first. In addition, if you are a newcomer, you will be sent out, wouldn't it be too easy to deal with, so you have to delay it until tomorrow, and today you will be in the store to get in the way of everyone's eyes.

When the people in the store were busy, Yu Xiaohuan found a reason to send Xiao Longan home. In fact, as soon as Xiao Guiyuan returned to the Xu Mansion and secretly told Young Master Xu Anan about it, the young master secretly asked someone to inquire about the situation of the Lu family and prepare for Yu Xiaohuan's next day's trip.

Seeing that the young grandmother was still in the store, and there was nothing to do for the young grandmother, under the guidance of the shopkeeper, a guy stepped forward to "offer hospitality" and introduce the goods in the store to the young grandmother. From classic to popular, from girly to old lady. After the style was introduced, the craftsmanship was introduced, what traditional handicrafts, and what master's superb carving techniques, Yu Xiaohuan was in a fog. After they were done, seeing that there was still nothing else to arrange, after all, switching from overhead to non-idle mode was a matter decided overnight, so they talked about the price of the goods.

"Tell me so much, do you want me to be a salesman?" Yu Xiaohuan couldn't help but mutter.
