Chapter 22 Borrowing money
After Chunhong counted the money, she took out the booklet to keep accounts.
On the booklet, Chen Xiao has already drawn a table, the number of the month, how many bowls he has sold, how much money he earns, and remarks.
Chunhong was illiterate before. However, illiteracy also has the advantage of being illiterate, Chen Xiao directly taught her simplified Chinese and Arabic numerals, as long as she knows how to keep accounts.
This small business could have been left unbooked. However, Chen Xiao said that bookkeeping is not only to know the profit and loss, but also to know the changes in the numbers of each period, and to grasp the rules so that adjustments can be made.
Chunhong didn't know what to master, anyway, Sister Chen asked her to remember it, and she remembered it. It's good to remember clearly, and to be clear.
In her opinion, this sales ledger is already very technical. But in Chen Xiao's view, this is the simplest bookkeeping. In addition, there is a purchase account book with Chen Xiao, and she wants to wait for Chunhong to know more words before handing it over to her.
Xiao Shi looked at what she was filling in the grid and asked, "What are you playing with?" ”
"Play?" Chunhong glanced at Xiao Shi with disdain: "I'm keeping accounts." ”
"Bookkeeping? What are you writing about? ”
"You don't understand."
"How I don't understand! Our family used to be in business, and since I was a child, I have watched my father keep accounts. ”
Chunhong didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Xiao Shi looked at the words on the booklet and said with a little disdain: "You can't read, right?" ”
Chunhong filled out and closed the account book, and said coldly: "What is it about you." ”
"How can you not be literate in business!" Little Stone looks like an old businessman.
"Am I in business? Am I in business! ”
Chunhong got up and sprayed at Xiaoshi's head.
Little Stone was forced back by her momentum.
"I'll tell you, I'm letting you, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Chunhong extinguished her arrogance. She knew how a person who dared to catch snakes and sell them could be a cowardly person.
She was just in a bad mood today, Wu Baozhu went back, maybe her father and mother would come tomorrow, and the people from the Ruan family might also come. What will she do then?
She had thought about borrowing silver from Brother Fang before, and twenty taels was nothing to him. But now that they have a total of more than twenty taels, will Brother Fang borrow it?
And if he doesn't borrow? What to do......
"Little stone, do you have any silver?" Chunhong's tone softened.
"What do you want to do?" Small stones are a bit of savings.
"How much silver do you have? Can you lend me some? ”
"You ......, how much are you going to borrow?"
"It depends on how many you have."
"First of all, how much do you want to borrow?"
"Twenty taels."
"Nope." Little Stone replied crisply.
Chunhong smiled bitterly. She knew that Little Stone might have a little savings, but not too much.
"Why are you borrowing so much silver?" Little Stone asked.
"Buy it myself."
"Buy it back?! Who to buy from? ”
"Nguyen Family ......"
She roughly talked about the experience of being robbed and running away from marriage. She told Fang Yu and Chen Xiao about this.
"Oh! The one who came to you today was the one who coaxed you to Ruanjia Village? ”
Chunhong sneered. She felt like she had been so stupid before. Baozhu said that the brown sugar cake made by her aunt was particularly delicious, and asked her to go to her aunt's house to play with her, and asked her aunt to make brown sugar cake for them.
Ruanjia Village was not far from their village, only seven or eight miles, so she went.
After they went, my aunt really made brown sugar cakes for them, saying that brown sugar cakes were more delicious with eggs, but there were no eggs at home, so they asked them to go to the third uncle's house to borrow eggs. went to the third uncle's house, but she was pulled and not allowed to leave. Baozhu ignored her and ran away on her own.
After that, the Ruan family went to the Hu family to propose. Her father and mother agreed in a daze.
She didn't think she was stupid before. Now she feels stupid.
Xiaoshi said: "You should tell me today, I will find someone to tie up that woman." If they want to take your sister, you will take her. ”
Chunhong smiled. She didn't dare do such a thing.
Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "I...... At most, you can get five taels. ”
Chun Hong said gratefully: "Thank you!" When Brother Fang and them come back, I want to talk to them about borrowing money first. If they say that the silver is not enough, you will lend me five taels first. ”
"Yes." Xiaoshi nodded, and then said, "But ......, I also have something I want your help with." ”
"What's the matter?"
"You know Aunt Shen's family...... Brother Shen doesn't like me all day long, and I don't want to live in their house anymore. However, I don't rent a house at home every day, renting a house is not cost-effective, I want to see if Brother Fang can accommodate me here. "I can sleep anywhere, in the kitchen, in the firewood room, in the shop."
Chunhong looked at this peer. Orphans can still get five taels of silver. And she was sold for a brown sugar cake.
She said: "You have to go to Sister Chen for this matter, as long as she agrees, Brother Fang will agree." ”
Chunhong saw it, and Brother Fang listened to Sister Chen.
"Hmmm! When the time comes, you can help me talk. ”
"Okay."
In fact, Xiaoshi also knows that Sister Chen is the one who is in charge.
……
Fang Yu and Chen Xiao came back, and several people had dinner. Xiao Shi said that he begged to be taken in, and Chen Xiao agreed.
They have four main rooms, one for Fang Yu, one for Chen Xiao, one for Chunhong, and the other is a warehouse for storing rice, flour, grain, oil and other things. Xiaoshi said that he could sleep anywhere, so he let him sleep in the storeroom.
Then Chunhong said that he would borrow twenty taels of silver. She told her that today Baozhu came to the shop and found her here.
"Whether I let her talk or not, she will say it. Maybe tomorrow my father and mother and the people from the Ruan family will come. ”
"Brother Fang, Sister Chen, please help me!"
Chunhong knelt and kowtowed after speaking.
"If my father and mother come, I will ask them to write a deed of sale and sell me to you. In the future, I will be used as cattle and horses for you. ”
"Hurry up," Chen Xiao pulled up Chunhong: "It's just twenty taels of silver, as for it!" ”
Fang Yu also felt that it was a trivial matter, and it was not a matter at all.
He turned to Xiao Shi and said, "Otherwise, you will help in the store in the future!" Chunhong couldn't be busy alone. What about wages......" he looked at Chen Xiao.
Xiao Shi is different from Chunhong, he has the ability to make money himself. And the income is not bad.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "In this way, in the future, twenty percent of the net profit of the snack restaurant will be used as your salary." To illustrate, it is 20% of the net profit. ”
Xiao Shi roughly calculated that a bowl of rice noodles cost fifteen wen according to the known cost, and his eyes lit up. What a lot of money!
He was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... Wouldn't that be too much? ”
Chen Xiao was worried that he was too much, and he wouldn't get so much money when the time came, thinking that she was lying to him, and said:
"In addition to the cost of raw materials for making rice noodles, there are also rent, taxes, wear and tear, and even fines."
"Oh."
The rent for a single room is three hundred and eighty taels a year, which he didn't count before. This calculation is reasonable.
Fang Yu frowned: "What about our wages?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at him. You don't understand? Still pretending not to understand?
Fang Yu smiled secretly: It's white again.
