Mu Chonglan didn't dare to provoke Xiao Xiantang, Xiao Xiantang asked her to carry the account book, she would memorize it, Xiao Xiantang asked her to learn the plan, and she also honestly learned the plan, if she let the masters who taught her in the past see it, I am afraid that her eyes will pop out.

"I've got it done."

"So fast?" Xiao Xiantang was holding the account books of the three provinces of the Xiao family in his hand, and he had already prepared to be accompanied by candles, after all, at this time, Mu Chonglan suddenly wanted to do perfume trading, and teaching her to learn to read the account books was the most important thing at present, but he didn't expect Mu Chonglan to calculate the account books early.

It can't be a mess, right?

Xiao Xiantang was suspicious, but he still reached out and picked up the account book, and when he saw it, he narrowed his eyes and threw the account book of the three provinces that he had just seen in front of her. "Count."

Xiao Xiantang was just a word, Mu Chonglan, who thought she could go to dinner, rubbed her stomach aggrievedly, and then picked up the account book and started to calculate, but she didn't notice the surprise that flashed in Xiao Xiantang's eyes when she was counting the account books.

"Alright." Mu Chonglan handed over the account book and wrote down the calculated amount on paper.

Xiao Xiantang looked through it, then looked at her and asked, "How did you do it without having to think about it?" ”

Mu Chonglan thought about it for a while, and spread out a piece of paper, she didn't know how to calculate, when she used these account books, she used the Nine Cause Song that was popular a long time later, also known as the Nine-Nine Multiplication Table.

I heard that this ninety-nine multiplication table was invented by Mu Jinse, because it is faster than the abacus, so it is very popular in the business world, although she is a little stupid, but I don't know why I remembered this ninety-nine multiplication table after listening to it, and even Mu Jinse said that no one can recite pi in one breath, she can remember many, many digits.

"This is called the Nine Causes?" Xiao Xiantang asked.

Mu Chonglan nodded vigorously: "Yes." ”

"It's a good thing."

"Huh?" Mu Chonglan was puzzled, isn't this a way to settle accounts?

Xiao Xiantang saw that she looked ignorant, so he sighed lightly: "Although it is a good thing, it is better not to let people know that you understand this for the time being, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble." ”

The gentleman is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, although I don't know how Mu Chonglan came up with such a subtle thing, but if someone knows about it, he will definitely not believe that Mu Chonglan came up with it himself, and maybe he will feel that Mu Chonglan has more such things, so before he has absolute strength, it is better not to stand out for the time being.

"Okay." Mu Chonglan nodded, if the person asking was not Xiao Xiantang, she would not have drawn it at all.

Looking at Mu Chonglan's crooked grid again, Xiao Xiantang burned the paper, and when he looked at Mu Chonglan again, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, this taste was like he had a dusty treasure, that is, he wanted to be envied, but he was afraid of being coveted.

In the following days, Mu Chonglan learned a lot about business as if she was being crammed, and just when she was dizzy and just wanted to sleep well, Qinghe happily ran to ask for credit.

Mu Chonglan was a little confused, and when she asked, she realized that the rouge gouache she brought from Dadu had been sold, and the batch of flower dew was sold at a very astonishing price, and it was already in short supply at this time.

Mu Chonglan was just at a loss for this, because she didn't know what was going on, she was caught by Xiao Xiantang as soon as she returned to Qingzhou.

"Miss, don't think it's strange, it's my aunt who did it." Mo Xiang came after Qinghe, just to solve Mu Chonglan's confusion.

It turned out that when Mu Chonglan was pressed to study here, Xiao Xiantang was not idle, he asked Mo Xiang to withdraw most of the rouge gouache that Mu Chonglan brought back, and then marked the rest at a very low price, and then asked people to take some rouge gouache in the name of Mu Chonglan and gave it to the young ladies in the big families of Qingzhou, saying that it was brought from the Xiao family caravan from Dadu.

Qingzhou has a small territory, and is very yearning for Dadu, and most of the popular rouge gouache is the capital of those young ladies to show off, plus Mu Chonglan's dull reputation, those young ladies and ladies saw that the price of Mu Chonglan's rouge shop was cheaper than that of most of the capital, one or two lines of silver, and they thought that the Xiao family caravan bought rouge, Mu Chonglan got rouge but didn't know the goods and put it out, thinking that it was a fool not to take advantage of it, so they took the maid one by one and broke through the threshold to buy back.

It turned out that the rouge shop suddenly became lively, and many young ladies who didn't know it also knew that Mu Chonglan's rouge shop had cheap Dadu rouge for sale, and the price was much cheaper than other rouge shops, and even cheaper than having people bring it from Dadu.

Of course, there are some people who can't afford to buy even if they know it's cheap, so they sell a lot of other rouge gouaches in the rouge shop, and the store looks even more lively.

This is not enough, Xiao Xiantang saw that the time was ripe, and asked people to put out the rouge gouache that was removed before, and the price was only one or two lines of silver more expensive than most of them.

At this time, Mu Chonglan's rouge shop has become a fragrant dumpling in the circle of Miss Qingzhou and Mrs. Qingzhou, and there are many rouge shops that are red-eyed, so they also learn from Mu Chonglan to go to Dadu to bring rouge to sell, but back and forth plus the prices of Dadu, they quickly stopped, after all, it is not a large amount of rouge, and most of the rouge shops in the capital will not be cheap at all, and they have paid for the carriage and horses in vain.

Of course, there are some people who sell at a loss, but the cheaper they sell, the more no one dares to buy them, and the rouge in Mu Chonglan's rouge shop is almost the same as the silver brought from most of the capital by the next family's rouge shop, but the condition is better than that of the next family.

There is also a big family in the caravan of the Xiao family, saying that this rouge is brought from Dadu, and it must not be fake, and the rouge shop next to it is sold so cheaply, I am afraid it is adulterated.

In short, Mu Chonglan's reputation as a rouge shop was completely launched, but what surprised Mu Chonglan the most was that Mo Xiang told her that the best selling in the rouge shop at this time was not the rouge gouache that most of them bought, but the flower dew that they could make themselves.

"One hundred taels for a bottle of flower dew, are they crazy?" Mu Chonglan frowned and muttered.

Mo Xiang nodded: "Uncle asked people to make a batch of exquisite jade bottles, and then listed a separate counter for the flower dew, named Bailu Chrysanthemum, and we are not allowed to place more, the limit is less than one bottle per day, occasionally two bottles, and no one is allowed to buy more, so as long as it is put out, it will definitely attract bidding, not to mention one hundred taels, that is, the situation of bidding for two hundred taels of one bottle has also happened." ”

"In this way, it is much more profitable than selling more rouge gouache." Mu Chonglan counted with his fingers.

"That's true." Mo Xiang agreed, and she didn't know why, although her aunt had asked people to negotiate with the rouge shops in Dadu, and wanted to get the rouge gouache at a lower price and then resell it, but she always felt that her aunt was a drunkard who didn't mean to use rouge, but more like using these rouge as a foil to sell flower dew.
