Chapter 66 Angry Cousin
"Little Second Brother?"
Jiang Wan was also stunned when she saw Yu Ming.
"Are you here to buy for Fengweilou?"
"That's right. But Miss Jiang, please don't call me Xiao Er Ge. I'm not a waiter anymore. I'm a shopper in the restaurant now. Hehe~"
Today, when he returned to the restaurant, he did not go to his uncle to make the decision. In fact, no one in the restaurant knew about his relationship with his uncle. After handing over the oyster sauce, he mixed with the waiters to find out if they had been shortchanged when they received money from the cashier.
At first everyone said no, but then someone said they always lost a few cents on the way home after receiving their monthly allowance. Others also said this happened, but everyone thought they had lost it themselves.
After all, the amount of money was clearly stated when it was collected, so no one thought about it that way.
Almost everyone does this, and it's obvious where the money goes.
It's one or two cents less a month, which is only about ten or twenty cents a year. But there are many people working in the restaurant, so it adds up to a lot.
Many people started making a commotion at the time, and the boss happened to be there for food tasting and heard what was happening. So they asked someone to check the cashier's office, and they found that the purchasing agent in the restaurant had actually reported false accounts, and the cashier had not even had time to collect the small account book.
It turned out that the buyer was actually a relative of the accountant, and the two of them had made a lot of money in the restaurant.
When the accounting and purchasing staff were fired, the boss reimbursed everyone's wages and also paid for the few cents he had to spend on oyster sauce.
I don’t know if it was because he heard that I went to Lianjiagou early in the morning to buy oyster sauce that the boss suddenly said he wanted to try whether I had the skills to do purchasing.
Look, let him come to the dock to buy seafood.
Yu Ming was truly grateful to Jiang Wan and her daughter. If they hadn't made the oyster sauce, his uncle wouldn't have asked him to go to the village to find them. If Miss Jiang hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have discovered the little tricks used by the accountant.
After that, no more customers would come to taste the food and encounter the waiters making trouble, and there would be no chance for him to turn things around.
"Ms. Jiang, are these two your brothers?"
"He's my brother from the same village."
Jiang Wan glanced at Lian Yue who was still negotiating the price with someone, then turned to Yu Ming and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yu Ming, please give me an honest price. How much do you want for the turbot?"
"This……"
Yu Ming didn't dare to offend this little god of wealth, but he also didn't dare to be too honest.
"With my current ability, the most I can give is twelve cents per pound."
Seeing that he didn't even dare to look her in the eye, Jiang Wan said "oh" to show that she understood.
If I were to be thick-skinned, I should be able to sell it for thirteen or fourteen cents.
But she had no intention of doing anything; she was simply curious about the price.
Lian Yue has been selling fish at the dock for a long time. He has his own network of contacts and will definitely not suffer any loss.
Jiang Wan just sat there obediently, holding the fishing net and watching the fish. Soon she saw Lian Yue coming over with a happy look on his face to move the fish.
Not only the turbot in the basin, but also those in the fishing net were taken out. The densely packed turbot in the net immediately shocked the people around.
"Hey guys, we've encountered a school of turbot!"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could we catch so many dolphins?"
"I'm so lucky... (sour)"
A quarter of an hour later, Lian Yue finished the transaction with the buyer and returned to the bamboo raft. Without delaying at the dock, the two of them untied the rope and turned around.
He only discussed the price with Jiang Wan on the way back.
"The person who bought the turbot is a manager of a wealthy merchant in the city. He used to buy fish from me often. He told me that his master's father was going to hold a birthday banquet and came to the pier today to look for good fish. He gave me thirteen cents per pound and took all the turbot."
Lian Yue still has a smile on his face.
"Lianqiao had no objection to the price, and I thought it was quite suitable, so I sold it. Guess how much it was sold for."
He felt that the little girl would definitely not be able to guess it, but he really wanted to share it with someone at this moment, so he was waiting for Jiang Wan to say that she couldn't guess it and ask him how much it would cost.
"I don't know how much Lianqiao sold, but I can roughly guess yours."
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows proudly.
She knew exactly how many turbots were on the raft. Excluding the eight rafts that were linked to the bridge, she caught a total of 22 turbots. These turbots weighed between two and three catties, so the price was very reasonable.
"I sold it for about 700 wen~"
Lian Yue was extremely surprised. This girl's guess was really accurate. He sold it for 715 coins.
"Amazing, amazing! Xiao Wan, how did you guess that?"
"Just use the calculator. Look at how many fish there are and estimate the weight. Once you know the price per pound, you can figure it out quickly."
After hearing what the little girl said, Lian Yue had only one idea.
My younger brother has to go to school.
Look at Xiao Wan, she is so good at counting fish. When I was doing the calculation just now, I had to borrow someone else's abacus to figure it out.
It’s a pity that the school only accepts children under the age of fifteen, otherwise he would like to sign up and study.
The raft went smoothly on the way back and soon returned to the village.
In addition to the harvest on the island, Jiang Wan also bought two turbots. However, the fish were swimming in the wooden basin and she couldn't take them away, so Lian Yue sent them back to her.
From a distance, the two of them saw a person sitting at the door of Yin's house, embroidering with her head down, as if waiting for someone.
"Cousin, I'm back!"
As soon as Jiang Wan called out, Yin Ning immediately packed up her things and ran over. She looked angry but she didn't hit anyone. She just stretched out her finger and tapped her cousin's forehead.
"You are such a good person, Jiang Wanwan. You actually ran away alone for so long!"
Still with a man!
Yin Ning was too embarrassed to say this when she saw Lian Yue following behind her, but Jiang Wan saw the look in her eyes clearly.
"Good sister, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time!"
Jiang Wan hugged her cousin's arm and shook it and rubbed it. Yin Ning's face turned red with embarrassment in front of a foreign man.
"I, humph, I don't believe it."
Little girls always act softly when they are angry.
Lian Yue really thought it was cute, but he didn't dare to look at it for too long. He poured the fish into Yin's basin, said something to Jiang Wan, and left.
On the way back, he couldn't help but recall Yin Ning's angry look, and for some reason he wanted to laugh.
He had seen the neighbor's sister and Lianqiao's sister get angry.
One was sulking, ignoring everyone and locking himself in the room with a gloomy face, and no one could persuade him.
One is the type who rolls on the ground crying and crying. Unless her demands are met, everyone in the house will be in chaos.
This was the first time he had seen someone so angry that he wanted to...
think……
Wait, Lian Yue, what are you thinking about?!
