Chapter 117: Reckoning

After Shen Lingxiu finished eating the dumplings, she packed up her things well, and asked her to save the unfinished dumplings and keep them for tomorrow morning.

Seeing Ah Bao touching his stomach and eating very satisfied, Shen Lingxiu smiled, "How is it, are you happy to eat?" ”

Ah Bao smiled and nodded, "Third aunt, what you make is really delicious!" I don't think I've had enough to eat in my life! ”

Shen Lingxiu pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Ah Bao helplessly, "You can't let your future daughter-in-law hear this, otherwise you will definitely be unhappy." ”

Po listened and nodded, "I know!" The daughter-in-law is the biggest, so I'll whisper to the third aunt and don't let others hear it. ”

Shen Lingxiu was amused by Ah Bao's vigilant look, and Lin Ziwen shook his head helplessly when he saw it on the side.

"Third uncle, I will definitely find a daughter-in-law who is like the third aunt in the future, especially good at cooking, otherwise, I will definitely be wronged by my own stomach." Po said seriously.

"That's pretty good." Lin Ziwen glanced at Shen Lingxiu, and then said approvingly.

"That is to say, you see, the third aunt, the third uncle, he also agrees with me." Po said triumphantly.

"Then I'll wait to see when you can find someone who can cook like me?" Shen Lingxiu nodded Bao's head lightly.

Po nodded, and he had already kept this matter in his heart.

When she went to bed at night, when Shen Lingxiu and Lin Ziwen talked about this matter again, she always felt that their life was good now, although they didn't have any money, but at least the family was neatly together, what could be happier than this.

"You're right, as long as our family is fine, no matter what, it's all good." Lin Ziwen nodded in approval of Shen Lingxiu's words, and then gently wrapped his arms around Shen Lingxiu's shoulders.

Shen Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't resist.

Lin Ziwen didn't make any further movements, just hugged Shen Lingxiu so gently, and then slept all night.

After Shen Lingxiu woke up in the morning, she warmed up the dumplings, left them on the table, and waited for Lin Ziwen and them to get up to eat, and then she went straight to the inn to work.

After she came to the inn, she didn't have much time to feel that the inn was noisy, and the shopkeeper didn't know what he was throwing a temper about.

Shen Lingxiu looked at it for a while, but she was still a little far away from the shopkeeper, and she couldn't really hear it, so she didn't care about it and continued her work.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to come out, gather all the clerks, and shake off a notebook.

"Now, if anyone stands up and admits it, I can still forgive you mercifully and give you a chance to mend your ways, otherwise." The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "Just get out of here for me, and wait for the government to see you." ”

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, he checked the accounts everywhere, but he always felt that this account book was a little strange no matter how he looked at it.

And just now, he asked a person in charge who specializes in purchasing food for the inn.

"You tell me in detail, how much money you spent on grocery shopping, and what you bought." The shopkeeper sat on the chair, and at this time he was quite calm in his heart, and he was still in the mood to take a sip of tea.

The person who purchased the vegetables glanced at the shopkeeper tremblingly, and then rolled his eyes, "The latest dish is like this." ”

He considered and reported a few dish names, and when he saw that the shopkeeper did not react, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had confidence in his heart, and he said it even more well.

After listening to this, the shopkeeper thought for a while, in fact, at this time, he didn't think there was anything going on here, so he thought about asking two questions casually, and tried to check the next person.

"How many pounds and taels of flour did you buy, and how much did it cost?" The shopkeeper randomly picked a value and asked.

The person who purchased the vegetables was shocked, and quickly and carefully recalled the price of the flour, and he spit out a number in a hurry.

The shopkeeper immediately felt that something was wrong, although the value was about the same, but this person's attitude was obviously different.

He had some doubts in his heart, so he continued to ask a few more questions.

Because the person who was panicking just now was buying vegetables, his mind was even more blank at this moment, and his tone was even more supportive.

The shopkeeper immediately knew what was going on, and a burst of anger ignited in his heart, and he slammed the notebook on the table.

"You have the audacity, tell me honestly, otherwise, you will wait for me to send you to the official mansion and let the eldest master find out what dirty things you have done!"

The person who purchased the vegetables immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Don't, I, I said, don't be angry, shopkeeper, I'm just a ghost for a while, really, I'm not much worse." ”

He trembled and told him about the embezzlement of some differences, and the shopkeeper looked at him resentfully, eager to break his legs.

He reprimanded the person who bought the groceries, and then went out to call the other employees.

Just now he looked carefully, if the person who purchased the vegetables was telling the truth, then there were still a lot of errors in this ledger, and it was still a lot worse.

The shopkeeper felt that he had a headache, and his tone towards the employees was even worse.

After checking one by one, nothing was found, and the shopkeeper had to recalculate the account book.

If you don't know what happened, when the boss behind the scenes comes, he, the shopkeeper, won't want to do it again.

"The shopkeeper must be in a very bad mood today, let's be careful when we speak."

"That's right, when he was angry just now, I felt like my heart was about to jump out, although I didn't do anything wrong, but I just felt terrified."

"Yes, yes, yes, I too, I don't know who is so lacking in morality, why is he greedy for this money, isn't it good to be down-to-earth? Our usual salary is quite a lot, and although the shopkeeper is not particularly affectionate to us, the price has never been harsh on us. ”

The employees whispered together, all feeling worthless for the shopkeeper.

"Over there! It's working time, what are you guys talking about! Give me a job! If I find out again, I won't want today's salary! As soon as the shopkeeper turned around and saw them talking again, he became even more angry, and punished them without saying a word.

The employees immediately stopped talking, and they were already working hard, and if they didn't get paid, they really didn't have to do it.

Shen Lingxiu looked at the shopkeeper and rolled her eyes, now may be an opportunity for her.

When she wanted to be this bookkeeper before, the shopkeeper was very disdainful and didn't let her do it.

But in this emergency situation, even if it is the shopkeeper, it is estimated that he will think of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so let her try it first.

And it's obvious that the shopkeeper is now in a hurry, and they are starting to make fun of the employees, and if this continues, today's work will be too difficult to do, and the guests will not like this atmosphere.

After careful consideration, Shen Lingxiu walked in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw that there was a shadow blocking his account book, his brows furrowed unconsciously, he raised his eyes and looked at it, and found that it was Shen Lingxiu, so he was even more dissatisfied.

"You don't work there, what are you doing here with me? Don't want today's wages anymore? Don't hurry up to work, otherwise, you will look good! ”

When Shen Lingxiu heard this, she was not afraid, she just considered her words for a while, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I see that you are busy now, and there is no bookkeeper to help you, if you continue like this, it will definitely be too late." ”

"Do you still have to say that? If you know, why are you still blocking in front of me? Go and go, hurry back to work, your salary will definitely be deducted, and you have points in your heart. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he continued to look at the account book in his hand.

"Shopkeeper, you see if I can do it." Shen Lingxiu rolled her eyes, "I also came to tell you before, I wanted to try to be this bookkeeper, but unfortunately the previous shopkeeper didn't see my strength, so he rejected me." ”

"This time, I want to recommend myself again, the shopkeeper will treat it as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, let me try, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper looked up at Shen Lingxiu again, his expression was very complicated, he looked at Shen Lingxiu, and did not see any signs of recklessness in Shen Lingxiu's eyes.

He looked at the ledgers on the table, then at the time, and finally frowned and nodded.

"Okay, in that case, let you try, you can give me some use, otherwise, I will deduct your wages!" The shopkeeper handed a ledger to Shen Lingxiu, and he was still a little uneasy, so he put down the ledger in his hand, intending to stare at Shen Lingxiu to see how far she could go.

After Shen Lingxiu took the account book, she didn't care that the shopkeeper stood beside her, silently looked at the account book and calculated.

The arithmetic on the ledger is actually very simple, but it is still a bit difficult for people in the past.

Shen Lingxiu is also a person of the 21st century, and now there is no problem at all when she looks at these data, and after she browsed it, she began to calculate and record them one by one.

The shopkeeper felt very unreliable when he saw that she didn't even use an abacus, but seeing that her numbers were written very quickly, he also felt a little drumming in his heart.

So he used his abacus to draw a few, but he didn't expect all the results to be correct.

Shen Lingxiu quickly found the discrepancy and calculated the correct result.

The shopkeeper also had to believe that she was indeed good at settling accounts, so he decided to appoint Shen Lingxiu as the bookkeeper without hesitation.
