Chapter 178: New Year's Red Envelope

Qi Yunshu looked at the shopkeeper of Liu Da, who was over forty years old, sitting in a precarious position, with a serious expression, so he just put his hands behind his back, like a primary school student.

At the moment, I couldn't help but laugh "poof", and in the laughter, I didn't hide my clumsiness, and taught the Arabic numerals commonly used in modern times to the shopkeeper Liu.

Fortunately, Qi Yunshu can teach, and the shopkeeper Liu is also willing to learn, plus the Arabic numerals are really simple, and three-year-old children can learn them, so it didn't take much effort for the shopkeeper Liu Da to learn.

Qi Yunshu asked him to convert the capitalized amounts and Arabic numerals in front of him, except for some small mistakes in the front, he really transformed it in the back.

"Hey, it's so good, it's really good, boss, how did you know that these crooked earthworm-like symbols can be used to replace numbers?"

Qi Yunshu blinked: "Everyone knows!" ”

Indeed, in the place where she lives, everyone knows that she has been using Arabic numerals since she was a child!

Shopkeeper Liu was still curious, and said that everyone knew that there were thousands of shops in the capital, and as far as he knew, none of them understood this way of bookkeeping.

Qi Yunshu was helpless, knowing that this big shopkeeper Liu was sometimes stubborn like a wild cow, and he had to break everything clearly in case of trouble, and there was no room for a grain of sand in his eyes.

But this problem cannot be explained in a few words.

She waved her hand and pointed to the pile of ledgers in front of him: "Don't you want to transcribe in a hurry, why were you in such a hurry just now, but now you are not in a hurry?" Hurry up and get it right, clear it up, and then go to train the little two in the shop to keep accounts in this way in the future, and it is easy and you won't make mistakes. ”

Sure enough, things were able to bring back the strong curiosity of the shopkeeper Liu.

He obediently went back to work.

After solving this matter and going to inspect the stocking situation in the shop again, Qi Yunshu roughly calculated the date of the New Year, and there were only two days left, so he announced something in the shop.

She was going to give them eight days off for the Chinese New Year.

The holiday starts on the 29th day of the year (that is, the day after tomorrow) and is placed on the 7th day of the lunar calendar.

The people, who had thought that there was only one day off for Chinese New Year's Eve, jumped up excitedly.

But there are also concerns about it.

For example, the second bolt, his dark and thin face was full of anxiety.

Qi Yunshu didn't notice him, but Qingli, who had been watching from the side, paid attention, glared at him, and blamed him:

"Why, you don't even want to take a vacation?"

"No...... No, it doesn't make a difference to me whether I have a holiday or not! ”

If there is a difference, there is only one, that is, if he does not have a holiday, he can still receive a high salary in the Zhiwei sauce shop, but if he has a holiday, he can only use his free time to go to the dock to move goods.

Or go to the carpenter's shop or blacksmith shop to work as a small worker to earn odd wages.

Qi Yunshu listened, came back to his senses from the conversation with the shopkeeper Liu, looked at him in disbelief and quietly asked the shopkeeper Liu: "If there is a leave for him, he is unwilling, why is this?" ”

"Oh, don't mention it, the second bolt is not bad, he is diligent on weekdays, his head is also clever, and he can help the shop a lot, but it's a pity that his family conditions are not good, he has no mother at a young age, a sister at the top, and a younger brother and a sister below, this dad is a stingy one.

When he was short of money before, he had already sold his sister to a mansion to be a maid.

I heard that she was handsome, and she was taken by the master's family, became a maid in the room, and was pregnant with a child, but her luck was not good, and she met a woman who was a ruthless master, so she found a mistake and beat her, the child was gone, and she fell ill, and was driven back.

Now that he was sick at home, like tuberculosis, his father had found a widow, and he had only looked after her, and the sister was about to die, and he threw her out of the house with only a straw mat, and thought of selling his young sister and brother for money......

These two suppositories are bitter, and they take them to his eldest sister to see his big sister before they get hot every day with a thick salary.

...... said, the shopkeeper Liu pointed to the Huairentang not far in front: "Look, the owner, all the money has fallen there, it's not enough!" ”

Even if he got off work early on weekdays, he didn't have anywhere to rest, he just went to the street to find some odd jobs to do, and although the money was small, he still made a fortune.

So he is so short of money, how can he give himself a holiday?

Qi Yunshu sighed heavily when she heard this, and she had to say that no one in this world was as relaxed as she seemed on the surface.

I still remember reading a chicken soup article before, if you want to look like you don't care about living in front of people, you are destined to put in more sweat and effort behind your back than ever before!

"Why didn't you tell us?" Qi Yunshu blinked her eyes, there was a little sour in it, there was no doubt that the second bolt was so affectionate and righteous, she felt very moved just by listening to it, thinking that she might be able to help him if she found an opportunity.

"Hey, that's it, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! Two days ago, I heard that the owner had an accident, and we didn't help much, and these things were also at this time when I saw that Zhao Juren was fine, so I dared to say in front of the owner, where is it worth your care.

There are so many people in this world who can't survive, we can't take care of it! Everything counts! ”

Liu Da shopkeeper is a bit compassionate and compassionate about the delivery, but at the same time he is also a very shrewd businessman.

Sympathy for you, can spread your story, and will be moved by it, but there is no actual support, after all, he has a limited income and needs to live!

Qi Yunshu stopped talking, only feeling a little depressed after coming out this time.

Ay!

But let's do a little bit of it!

She cleared her throat and said aloud:

"We take paid time off! You don't have to worry about having no income during the holidays at home for the New Year! ”

"Really...... Are you sure? The second bolt was the first to jump up excitedly.

"Of course, not only that, but there is also a year-end bonus!"

These things have been considered by her for a long time, and she doesn't care what other people's stores do, but she has to follow her own heart.

When everyone heard the year-end bonus, although the name was a little strange, they could understand that it was to send money, and they were all boiling when they heard it.

All of them were full of joy on their faces, even the shopkeeper Liu.

The way he looked at Qi Yunshu was very different.

This time, his wife met a baby, and the owner of the partnership turned out to be such a capable, fresh idea, and a master who would buy people's hearts.

He squinted at the sky outside, the sky that had been cloudy before, was this about to clear?

Back in the backyard, the cheers in the front store were too loud to disturb everyone.

Therefore, as soon as Qi Yunshu came back, they all gathered around her and asked what was going on in front of her.

It happened that Zhao Jing came back and was surrounded by everyone.

After Qi Yunshu greeted him, she told her about her arrangements and benefits in the front shop.

Qingzhi said with envy on his face, Qi Yunshu is a good master.

Mama Liu was distressing for her.

Counting on my fingers, there is a shopkeeper in the front shop, two guys, and a total of four deliveries, if all of them are counted, it will not cost hundreds of dollars.

Qi Yunshu held her hand and said: "For the New Year, what's the matter with sending a few hundred dollars, I've already thought about it, Liu Da's shopkeeper has worked hard, and the year-end bonus is counted as one or two silver a month, a total of nearly four months, which is four taels."

The second bolt is the earliest of the three guys, and he is under a lot of pressure, so he also gives two taels, as for the other two newly recruited guys, there are also one taels. ”

Oh my God, the big guys' eyes are straight, you must know that working as a guy in the shop may not have an income of one or two silver a month. You don't have to work this New Year, and you can still get a year-end bonus......

Mama Liu was even more distressed.

Who knew that Qi Yunshu said that the people in this courtyard have also worked hard in the past few months. Thus are also haired.

According to seniority, it ranges from three taels to one tael.

Qi Yunshu didn't just talk about it, she directly stuffed the little silver horn into it with red paper, thinking that she would simply send it in front of her face today, so as not to have too many things in the future and forget about it!

Not only did the people in the house have it, but even Qi Yancai and Liu Sanyuan each prepared three taels of silver.

Because these two usually go over to help pack, install jars, sell goods, and even go to deliver goods several times when they are busy in the front shop after studying.

Qi Yunshu naturally saw it all in his eyes.

However, neither of them was willing to accept it, especially Liu Sanyuan said that he had already won their great favor by living here, where did he dare to accept cash.

Qi Yunshu thought that he would definitely be a jinshi in the future, and he would come back to seek rewards when he got ahead.

On the other side, Qi Yancai's words were stopped by Qi Yunshu before he could say anything.

She knew that Qi Yan was not a master who was short of money, but the expenses in the capital were also large, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were not cheap, so she said that she was a sister of her heart.

In short, the red envelope she took out naturally would not be taken back.

And Qingzhi and Mama Liu also have it.

Aoeda laughed excitedly.

"It's a waste, it's a waste, the old woman doesn't need it!" Mama Liu was reluctant to accept it.

It was Zhao Jing who persuaded her for a while before accepting it.

A room full of people.

Zhao Jing said suddenly: "Actually, I should also give the lady a red envelope!" ”

He said that the lady worked hard for him in the year she married him, and followed him to the capital, which was hard, and then took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into Qi Yunshu's hand.

Qi Yunshu looked at it, and it turned out to be fifty taels.

"You...... Where are you from? "Zhao Jing is not a rich man, Qi Yunshu guessed that it was given by Mrs. Zhao, and she didn't accept his silver!

"Don't worry, I wrote an article for Wenxuan Bookstore a few days ago and published a collection!" Zhao Jing only saw her frowning, and saw that she was hesitant in her heart, so he immediately blocked the words.

Everyone coaxed there again, saying that Zhao Jingren belonged to her Qi Yunniang, what was wrong with these fifty taels of silver tickets?

Qi Yunshu blushed and accepted it!

Before the year had passed, the courtyard was already lively.

After distributing the red envelopes, Mama Liu took Qingzhi and Liu Sanyuan and Qi Yan to buy some festive objects for the New Year to decorate the yard.

Zhao Jing pulled Qi Yunshu out for a stroll.

said that since the New Year, in addition to giving her a red envelope, it is natural to buy her a shirt and jewelry or something!

Thinking that she was wearing a light blue plain shirt every time she appeared, and she didn't even have an embroidered skirt, Zhao Jing felt quite guilty.

"What clothes to buy, I have them all!" At the beginning of her career, Qi Yunshu was reluctant to spend money on those things.

After all, her career has just started now, and there is still a pharmacy to open in the future, so I am afraid that she will not be able to move too much money to make capital by then, and she can't always lose Su Zhi.

But Zhao Jing insisted very much today, and he had to pull her out to visit Zhengyang Street.

This is the most prosperous street in the south of the city, with two-storey shops on both sides, red flags waving, signboards fluttering, and from time to time you can hear the shopkeeper who beckons customers to greet sweetly at the door.

"Madame...... You're here, please! ”

"Miss Huang, there's a new style arriving, come in and take a look!"

"Miss Xia, here is your favorite Nanyang Night Pearl, and I have a ...... for you"

Hearing the familiar title, Qi Yunshu couldn't help but turn her eyes, looked at a jewelry shop called Zhenyuge next to her, and saw Xia Xiangjun, who had not been seen for a few days.
