This handlebar style can actually come up with an idiom or two.

"I probably didn't look up all the way down, and I was already familiar with my face. Yan Saburo smiled, "According to what you say, the third shopkeeper is very powerful, right?"

"Of course!" Da Shun's tone was prevaricating, "Don't look at our Hengxi Chamber of Commerce doing so big, just two people in charge, the big boss is in charge of the outside, and the three bosses are in charge of the inside, and they cooperate seamlessly, they are all such powerful characters!"

There are big and three, where did the two go? But Yan Saburo didn't ask.

The two walked twenty feet away and came to the front of a three-door building.

As soon as Yan Saburo looked up, he saw the four big red lacquer characters of "Hengxi Chamber of Commerce".

The handlebar style didn't take him inside, he went around the outer wall of the chamber of commerce for half a circle, walked into a backyard, climbed up the second floor along the ladder, found the account room, and knocked on the door.

A middle-aged man inside looked up.

He was born whiter than Dashun and Yan Saburo, slightly fat, with small eyes, and drooping eyelids, squinting at everyone. Liu Pei was not hot at this time, but his face was a little sweaty, and when the light shone, it was wet.

"Steward Xu, the third shopkeeper has found a small account room in charge of zero accounts and brought it to you to give it a try. ”

Steward Xu squinted at Yan Saburo, a little surprised: "Ah, this is still a child?"

"That's why you try. Dashun patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder and pushed him forward.

"What do the three shopkeepers think. Steward Xu sighed and asked Yan Saburo, "Can you read the account books?"

"I don't understand. He honestly said, "I studied arithmetic." ”

"That's fine. Steward Xu pushed the account book and abacus forward, "Child, come and help me count these two pages of the daily clearing book." ”

The daily clearing book is a running account.

Yan Saburo stepped forward, listened carefully to Steward Xu's explanation of the rules of collection and payment, took the abacus and began to pull. His calculations were still a little jerky at the beginning, but the faster he went, the more he got to the back, and he held the abacus in one hand and the pen in the other, and it took about two cups of tea to fill it in.

"It's ok. Steward Xu also knew that he touched the account books on the first day, so it was understandable that he was slower, so he took the abacus and calculated it himself.

"Yes, it's rare to see no mistakes and omissions, and it will be fast to practice for a while. He nodded to Dashun, "You can stay." He said to Yan Saburo again, "You will come to work tomorrow." ”

￥￥￥￥￥

Yan Saburo came out of the Chamber of Commerce, and when he saw Dashun following behind, he said, "May I ask if there is a tooth shop in this city?" "The tooth bank deals with buyers and sellers, not only for goods and goods, but also for housing leases.

Da Shunqi said: "The third shopkeeper gave you a place to live, why don't you want to?"

Yan Saburo shook his head: "I'm used to living alone." "The Chamber of Commerce gives the guy a bunk, and he has a squeamish cat/person to raise, not to mention that the practice is about to begin, and it is too inconvenient to share it with others.

"So squeamish?" Dashun smiled. Yan Saburo is not like a child of a solid family, and he is still so particular about his residence? "Call you Saburo, but?"

The boy nodded.

"You're in luck today, too. Da Shun affectionately wrapped his arms around his shoulders, "There happens to be an empty side courtyard in my nephew's house, which has just been renovated earlier this year. As soon as the corridor door is closed, there is a single courtyard, and there is a well in the yard, the well water is sweet, the light is good, and it is close to here. Would you like to go and see it? Seeing that, you can still save the money you gave to the tooth shop. ”

Yan Saburo nodded. Dashun knew that he was going to work in the Chamber of Commerce, and he would not harm him at this time.

The courtyard was so close that it didn't take a quarter of an hour to get there.

The landlord is a husband and wife with a pair of children who live next door.

Dashun took the key and took him in.

This courtyard is at least three times the size of Yan Saburo's residence in Yuncheng, in addition to two rooms, a small kitchen, and a large firewood room where sundries can be stacked. There are two big trees in the courtyard, and there is a vegetable garden and a chicken coop on the edge of the well, but now the weeds are almost taller than people.

The small door leading to the outer house is locked, and this courtyard is a detached house.

Even the walls are freshly painted, and you can still smell a little. Yan Saburo walked around and was very satisfied.

Da Shun saw the bamboo basket behind him open, and the white cat stretched out half of his body and lay on his shoulder, looking left and right with care, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Then Yan Saburo made a more troublesome move:

He returned to the courtyard, unloaded the basket, and asked the white cat, "What do you think?"

Dashun couldn't help but laugh.

This is a place for people to live, and who would ask if a cat likes it or not?

How do you know that the white cat meowed at Yan Saburo twice, soft and brisk, and even Dashun could see that it was satisfied from its pair of beautiful eyes.

Yan Saburo said again: "I also think it's good." ”

Dashun looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. On the way from Yuncheng to here, he always felt that this kid was silent, and he had everything he had to say to the cat.

He couldn't help but say: "You can't do this, when you grow up, hurry up and marry your daughter-in-law." "Otherwise, it is easy to fall ill in the heart, and there are a few men in their horse team who have been running around for many years, and their temperaments are becoming more and more eccentric. According to Steward Xu's Wen Crepe, it is called yin and yang disorder!

Yan Saburo asked him: "This yard is really good, how much is the monthly rent?"

"Four pennies of silver. He could hear clearly, this kid had nine dollars a month.

Yan Saburo's footsteps paused slightly: "It's too expensive, two dollars." ”

"Three and a half dollars. ”

Yan Saburo shook his head: "It's just two and a half dollars, no more, don't want it, bet one and pay three." ”

"Okay, then two and a half cents. Dashun patted him on the shoulder, "You also saved money for the comprador of the dental shop." It's much safer than staying in a post house here. ”

At that moment, Yan Saburo took out a tael of silver, and as soon as Dashun took it, he saw that the boy stuffed another piece of broken silver into his other hand.

This is an intermediary fee.

"Yo, go up!" The smile on Da Shun's face immediately came from the bottom of his heart. "Look for me if you have anything in the future, Liu Pei, I'm clear!"

......

Sending the handlebar style away, Yan Saburo cleaned the yard from the inside to the outside again, and it was almost dark.

The chicken coop has not been taken care of, and the weeds in the vegetable furrow have not been pulled out, so we can only wait for tomorrow.

There was still firewood in the kitchen, and there was no ready-made materials, so I had to go outside for dinner. Yan Saburo stepped out of the threshold and was about to lock the courtyard door, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw several women standing outside, whispering.

Some are even more excessive, and they even reach out and point at him.

As soon as Yan Saburo turned around, the women immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you new here?"

The boy nodded.

"You're not a native of Liupei, are you?"

"It's not. ”

"How many people live here?"

Yan Saburo stopped talking.

He came from the cold field special effects, and when the women saw that the child was neither cute nor able to talk, they planned to disperse.

"I hear you. Chitose's voice came from behind, "They said that there had been a murder in the courtyard where we lived, and they were very unlucky. The people who moved in were wronged!"
