"By the good words of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will be able to live a long life in the future." Jiang Liuyu didn't know what to say. I'm afraid that if she stands at the door like this, if outsiders tell her that she is bullying, she will really be wronged and have nowhere to sue.

Just after thinking about it, Jiang Liuyu hurriedly raised his feet and went directly to the backyard. The shopkeeper seemed to be frightened by the official, even if he knew that Jiang Liuyu was approachable, he was always afraid and broke out in a cold sweat.

"The princess came here today to see something, Xiao Lao'er has never slacked off in managing the shop these days. If the princess doesn't believe me, I'll bring the ledger. ”

"The shopkeeper thought about it a lot, I just thought that I hadn't been here for a long time, so I would come and have a casual look." Jiang Liuyu was made uncomfortable by his trembling appearance.

Quietly rubbing the goosebumps on his arm, Jiang Liuyu remembered that he had almost forgotten the purpose of coming, so he mentioned it to the shopkeeper, "By the way, these times, the Yuzhi in the mountains should grow again, I don't know if there are some fresh ones in the store." ”

"Don't hide it from the princess, it takes at least two hours to get here from Xishan, the curfew was so strict a few days ago, you can't come out at night, and the hot weather during the day sends Yuzhi over, even if people can stand it, Yuzhi is estimated to be dead."

Afraid that Jiang Liuyu would blame, the shopkeeper was extremely cautious in everything he said, and kept watching Jiang Liuyu's expression change.

"So during this time, in order to ensure the purchase and sale of Yuzhi related goods in the store, I asked someone to buy dried Yuzhi only from Xishan, which can guarantee the supply, and the time is also long, so I am not afraid of delays on the road."

"The shopkeeper is doing the right thing, no matter what, we can't make the quality of our things worse." Jiang Liuyu nodded and praised him emphatically, so that the shopkeeper's panic and anxiety calmed down.

"Then you can show me the account book now, I am usually busy with chores in the palace, and I don't know much about the prices of these things in the market, the shopkeeper is free, you can explain it to me."

"Okay, let's go get the little one." Hearing the check of the account book, the shopkeeper was not stunned, and returned to the counter to bring things non-stop.

Looking at his appearance, Jiang Liuyu could know that he must have done his homework and dealt with the store's expenses and income very seriously. Even so, there is no need to worry that the shopkeeper will have the possibility of making false accounts.

Flipping through the account book, the price of each raw material recorded on it was almost the same as what Jiang Liuyu had recorded in the store before. How much each ingredient spent, where it was bought, how much it bought, and who was responsible for transporting it to the store, the shopkeeper remembered it clearly in the account book, and it was clear at a glance.

"If there is something that the princess doesn't understand, I can explain it to you." The shopkeeper stood nervously beside the stone table and rubbed his hands, he had been diligent for so long, just to wait for the owner's approval.

But if something really goes wrong in the ledger, he will lose his face for so many years. So even if he is confident in his accounts, he will inevitably be worried.

After turning over all the account books in a few clicks, although Jiang Liuyu only looked at a rough idea, he was very clear in his mind.

"I remember these accounts in such detail, it must have taken a lot of effort from the shopkeeper, and I can have such a diligent person as the shopkeeper to Dali Industry, which is also my luck."

In modern times, Jiang Liuyu always heard that a large company's accounting volume had fled abroad, and there was no news on whether it was recovered in the end.

And now, the shopkeeper not only needs to manage the accounts, but also is responsible for taking care of the store, one person wears many hats, so Jiang Liuyu vaguely feels that he is a little abusive to employees, thinking about when to increase the monthly salary of the shopkeeper.

"Then since there's nothing going on in the store, I'll leave first today. However, before leaving, the shopkeeper first brought me a copy of the store's Yuzhi paste, I knew that my things were the most reliable, so I wanted to give it away, and I was more sincere. ”

"If the princess wants to give it away, it's not about how many you want." The shopkeeper smiled, led Jiang Liuyu to the counter, and directly took out a box of Yuzhi paste that had just been made and had not had time to be put out from the drawer.

Jiang Liuyu was picky and selective here, and chose two or three small porcelain jars with the most beautiful colors. Just opened the lid to try the effect, and to find out if the store staff were lazy when making it, Jiang Liuyu put his nose on the gap under the lid of the porcelain jar, and smelled that the smell was very different from before.

"Did you add a new recipe to it, and why doesn't it smell like the previous one?" At first, Jiang Liuyu thought that her nose was wrong, but she compared it with the taste on her hands, and she could be sure that there was indeed a problem.

"No, we've always been following Miss's previous recipe." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and after picking up the contents of the box and smelling it, he couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that the weather is too hot, and these things are broken." ”

"They're all in a drawer, how can they be broken in such a shady place." Jiang Liuyu shook his head in disagreement, walked a few steps out, picked up the jade mushroom paste that had accumulated dust on the table, and compared it again, this dusty jade mushroom paste tasted normal.

"And when you smell the outside, it's all fine."

"That's weird." The shopkeeper patted his head and was puzzled.

"The formula is fine, then it is estimated that someone is working on the raw materials." Jiang Liuyu pondered for a while and put the things in his hand back. I don't know what these Yuzhi paste is made of, she doesn't dare to give it to Mrs. Bao.

"I look at the account book, the price of raw materials has not changed in the past half a month, and the shopkeeper is usually busy, I'm afraid that the purchase of raw materials in those days is not the shopkeeper's personal watch."

"Yes, the city was not very peaceful in those days, so I took a few days off from the store and went back to see the situation of my family, and handed over all the affairs in the store to Huzi for the time being. The letter I wrote to the princess that day to ask for leave should still be in the palace now. ”

It's just a few numbers, so Jiang Liuyu can see the clues, and the shopkeeper is irrefutable.

"I've read the leave slip, but I didn't remember it for a while." Jiang Liuyu laughed and said comfortingly, "People will inevitably encounter some troubles, and I won't blame the shopkeeper." ”

"It's just that Huzi may have accidentally done something bad, so I'm annoying the shopkeeper to call him over now, and I have to be careful not to startle the snake."

The shopkeeper was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately went over to call someone. Jiang Liuyu didn't want to attract attention, so he asked him to take people to the wing room in the backyard and ask slowly.

Fang Caihuzi was helping to unload the goods in the backyard, and when he heard that Jiang Liuyu wanted to see her, he was so frightened that his palms couldn't stop sweating, he rolled his eyes and thought about it, and deliberately delayed some time to think of a reason under the pretext that the things had not been moved yet.

"Princess, he's helping to move things in the back, and he'll be over in a moment."

Jiang Liuyu sat upright and took a sip of tea gently, like a big lady. When the shopkeeper found out that she was vigorous, he felt even more empty.

"This tiger, I saw that he had studied, knew a few words, and was more clever than other people, so I let him take care of it for a few days. I didn't expect to make such a fuss, if the princess has any punishment, I will never shirk it. ”

Jiang Liuyu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her eyes and said, "Of course I know that the shopkeeper is not intentional, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here talking to me." ”

"It's just that when I ask questions for a while, the shopkeeper should not interject, just let Huzi answer alone. If you really can't ask anything, you can only report it to Jing Zhaoyin, Yushitai or the Criminal Department, which can investigate the case. ”

Huzi didn't think of a reason, he just stood at the door of the wing, and when he heard Jiang Liuyu's words inside, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go in.

"The princess is like this, will it be a little too loud, it's just a simple little question, if you report these places, will they take it." Compared with being known to everyone, the shopkeeper is more worried that no one will accept it.

"If they were ordinary people, maybe they really didn't have the leisure to take care of it. But now that I'm a princess, I should make good use of this status. Jiang Liuyu hooked the corners of her lips and smiled very slyly.

"My lord has people he knows in these places, and just by virtue of this relationship, if something goes wrong with my shop, they won't sit idly by. As long as the punishment is used, no matter how hard the mouth is, it can pry something out. ”

If you want to say that you just scared Huzi so much that you want to run away, then Jiang Liuyu's current words scared him so much that he didn't even dare to run. Huzi didn't think of any reason, so he pushed the door in directly, and knelt down in front of Jiang Liuyu with a plop.

"The princess spares her life, the little one will never dare to do it again, don't send me to those places. Especially the Criminal Department, I heard that as long as I go in there, at least I have to peel off the skin, and if there is any loss in the store, I am willing to pay to compensate, but I just beg the princess to let me live. ”

Is this criminal department really as terrible as they say? Jiang Liuyu was puzzled. When she had the idea to help Su Jingye investigate the violent death of a prisoner in the prison, she had seen Jinshan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Although Jin Shan looks a little burly because of his martial arts practice, he still has a good temper and speaks interestingly, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a ruthless god in the population center outside.

"Do you know that Lord Jin of the Criminal Department and the prince of my family are both military generals, and the relationship is very good in the court, if I ask him, he will definitely find out for me."

Jiang Liuyu knew that Huzi was afraid, so she deliberately said these words to intimidate him, "But this princess is kind-hearted in the end, and she can't see blood, as long as you truthfully tell us what you did quietly behind our backs, I will consider not handing you over, and we will solve the problems in the store in private." ”
