Chapter 286: The Abacus Fails
Shen Datian shouted loudly: "My son is married, do you know how busy I am? How can I have time to go, you can't read it, can't you shopkeeper still understand it? ”
"What Uncle said makes sense, my father can't understand it, I can understand it, why didn't Uncle come to me?"
Before Shen Yuerong arrived, the voice came first, Shen Datian couldn't help but be shocked, remembering what happened last time, he was a little disgusted.
Shen Yuerong smiled and took the list: "Melon seeds, peanuts, halva, burnt knives." ”
Seeing only these few things, Shen Yuerong's smile froze, and Shen Dashan was also a little displeased.
Even if you buy vegetables and meat, there are only a few tables of melon seeds and peanuts in total, and you have to let the restaurant purchase them, doesn't this make it clear that Shen Dashan is being slaughtered?
Looking at Shen Datian's face again, he was also a little pale, he originally chose to come in the blue sky and daylight, but he felt that Shen Yuerong was not at home, Shen Dashan and Lin Muqiu were illiterate, and it would be too late to find out when he came down, but he didn't expect to be in a hurry, Shen Yuerong happened to be staying at home today because of the arrival of Wang Xiucai and his wife.
Shen Yuerong said politely: "Uncle, our restaurant can't buy these melon seeds and peanuts, and the price won't be cheaper than if you buy them yourself." ”
Shen Datian felt weak in his heart, but he still said with a generous look: "Well, it's the uncle who doesn't think about it, I'll buy these myself, and I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go back first, and I'm still busy at home." ”
Shen Yuerong hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, there is also this wine, all the wine used in our restaurant is medicinal wine, and the price is not cheap, do you really want us to buy it?" And if you buy these vegetables and meat, do you send them directly to your home? I still have a lot of questions to ask, what are you anxious about? Getting married is a big deal, sit down and let's talk slowly. ”
Lin Yun, who came with Shen Yuerong, was blocking the door at this moment, and Shen Datian had no choice but to sit back stupidly.
slipped away, and then let Shen Yuerong have to buy it, and the idea was also stranded.
"You can just look at and buy this wine, you are buying it under the banner of a restaurant, how can it be cheaper than what we bought ourselves?"
Shen Yuerong nodded and said: "Well, what the uncle said makes sense, what about this meat, do you want it to be varied, or ordinary, as well as these fish and vegetables, you have to tell me clearly what quality this uncle wants, and if you buy the wrong one when you go back, it will affect Shen Qi's family affairs, then it will not be good." ”
Shen Datian saw that Shen Yuerong had such a good attitude, his mind turned, and he waved his hand: "Just buy it, our family has such a son, it must be done." ”
"Well, the uncle is really good to his son, okay, I have nothing to say."
Shen Yuerong took out the small abacus he brought with him as he spoke, and counted it cracklingly, frowning and pausing a few times during the period, Shen Datian's face froze, he never thought that Shen Yuerong would come with the abacus.
Shen Yuerong exhaled a big breath and said solemnly: "Uncle, if these are all purchased according to the good, it will cost at least fifty taels, if you don't plan to follow, you have to give us the money first, the New Year is coming soon, and the merchants will not let you pay on credit." ”
Shen Datian said loudly: "Why do you want fifty taels, so expensive!" I don't even need so much money to buy it myself, you won't even have to pick up some oil and water for your brother's family purchase, don't bluff me! ”
If they are willing to pay fifty taels, they can go directly to the restaurant to eat, and they can save worry and effort, why bother to settle in their own yard, just considering that Shen Dashan will pay for it, so the dishes they ask for are very exaggerated, all big fish and meat, and they also require quality.
And a lot of messy things were added, such as the big red quilt cover, the offering plate, and even the red underwear were written in, Shen Yuerong couldn't help frowning even if he counted these things just now.
Liu knew a lot of things, and when she heard this, she came to the fire first: "You talk well, are we greedy for your money?" ”
Shen Datian was disdainful in his heart, the more he looked at Wang Xiucai and his wife, the more unhappy they became, how did you become your family Yue'er, and you are not surnamed Shen, but there are few lovely people from his hometown, and he is not easy to offend at this time.
Shen Yuerong didn't want to embarrass Shen Dashan, so she patiently explained the cost item by item, especially mentioning those things that were not related to the banquet very loudly.
She finally said: "This is all your request, uncle, everything has to be good, and it is naturally more expensive." ”
Shen Datian didn't expect that Shen Yuerong really knew the cost of each item, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly at this moment.
You must know that although Zhou Zheng is responsible for the purchase of the restaurant, Shen Yuerong has to personally check the accounts every day, even if it is a slight price change, she knows it, and when she looks at it every day, the prices of those vegetables and meat will inevitably be clear to her, as for those miscellaneous expenses, she has estimated it, and the difference will not be too big.
Shen Datian thought about it, since he was discovered by Shen Yuerong, it was impossible to let Shen Dashan pay all the money, but it was cheaper for them to buy it than to buy it themselves.
"It's too expensive, so I don't want these, and these have been changed."
Shen Datian began to delete irrelevant items item by item, and lowered the quality, Shen Yuerong finally calculated, only about twenty taels.
The meat should be ordinary, and the expensive dishes have been deleted and replaced with cheap ones, especially fish, which has been replaced by red-headed fish and ordinary flat fish, and even the wine has been turned into cheap sorghum wine, plus a few pots of better roast knives.
Even so, Shen Datian still hurt a lot, but Shen Qi said, invite Li Huinan, it can't be too bad, otherwise it will be embarrassing.
This is in the countryside, in fact, it can be regarded as a good banquet, but because of the previous comparison, it seems that Shen Datian is really ill-intentioned.
Li Zheng and Wang Xiucai glanced at each other, shook their heads, and calculated their brothers like this, which is breathtaking.
Shen Datian unwillingly took out ten taels of silver, patted his head and said, "Oh, I only brought these silver today, Yue'er, you can help the uncle first for the part of the difference, and the uncle will pay you back when he goes back." ”
Everyone was disdainful at this time, obviously came with a list of fifty taels, but as a result, they brought ten taels of silver, and they had a good calculation from the beginning, and they didn't plan to give money, even if they had to lower their standards, they didn't plan to give it all.
Shen Yuerong had expected it a long time ago, and said calmly: "Well, Uncle doesn't have to pay it back, this difference of ten taels should be regarded as my congratulatory gift to Shen Qi, after all, I haven't married yet, and it is inconvenient to give a gift money alone, so I should give it privately." ”
Shen Yuerong's idea is quite okay, after all, she is not married, she is still a family, as long as Shen Dashan gives a gift money, now she has given ten taels in private, which is already a lot.
