Yu Fuling was still worried and sighed, "Those fields were flooded, and they are not cornucopias. We will definitely not be able to harvest the wheat this season."
Yu Jiao smiled and patted her shoulder, "If you sigh again, you'll become an old woman. I'm not worried, so why are you worried?"
"If you just bought the land, I wouldn't worry about you. But I have to take care of those people's food and pay their wages. This is what I worry about." Yu Fuling had long regarded Yu Jiao as a relative and a younger sister in her heart, and couldn't help worrying about her.
Yu Jiao really enjoyed this nagging. After all, only people who are truly close to her would care about her so much.
Yu Jiao kneaded Yu Fuling's shoulders, smiled and said coquettishly, "Sister, I want to be bold and unrestrained. I have to try it before I can be satisfied. Even if I lose money, I will accept it."
"You, there's really nothing I can do about you." Yu Fuling tapped her forehead, "You've always been very opinionated. I've seen that once you've made up your mind, no one can change it."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I plan to sign a three-year employment contract. If I really lose money, it won't be too much in three years. I can fill the gap by practicing medicine."
"Do you think everyone can be as generous as Miss Shen, who charges a thousand taels for a medical consultation?" Yu Fuling said helplessly.
"When my fifth brother goes to the capital for the imperial examination, I will go with him." Yu Jiao said her thoughts with a bit of shyness, "There are many dignitaries in the capital. If I see more rich people, I can make money."
Yu Fuling felt relieved when she heard that she was willing to go to the capital with Yu Qizhe.
Yu Fuling is not a pedantic person. She does not mind Yu Jiao's business and public appearances, but she is worried that Yu Jiao and Fifth Brother are separated from each other and that they are rarely together, which may lead to changes in their relationship.
"As long as you have a plan in mind, it's fine." Yu Fuling said, "No matter what happens in the future, if I can help, just tell me to do it."
Yu Jiao reached out and hugged Yu Fuling's arm, saying softly, "Sister, you are so kind."
Seeing her acting coquettishly, Yu Fuling couldn't help but laugh too.
She and Yu Jiao are becoming more and more like sisters.
"Tell me, what average yield per mu that you told those people today, how did you calculate it?" Yu Fuling asked curiously.
Yu Jiao let go of Yu Fuling's arm and said, "Mental arithmetic, sister, do you want to learn it? If you learn mental arithmetic well, sister, you can be my accountant in the future. We are running a grain store now, so we need to be able to read the accounts."
"Is it difficult to learn?" Yu Fuling was eager to try. After all, accounting is all about money, and who doesn't like money!
Yu Jiao shook her head and said, "It's not difficult. Just memorize the multiplication formula and I'll give you two more lessons, and then you'll be able to understand it."
Yu Fuling smiled and said, "Then do I have to call you Mr. Meng?"
The two of them returned to the inner courtyard chatting and laughing. The guys at the grain shop were already familiar with the job and there was no shortage of staff as there were no patients seeking medical treatment.
After entering the house, Yu Jiao found a pen and paper, wrote a multiplication formula for Yu Fuling, and briefly explained it to Yu Fuling. Then Yu Fuling took the formula and recited it. Yu Jiao sat at the desk, carefully thinking about the contents of the employment contract, and occasionally writing down the terms that she thought of.
An entire afternoon passed slowly among a thick stack of waste papers. The ink in the inkstone had dried up a little. Yu Jiao put down her pen, stretched herself, and was about to grind the ink when there was a knock on the door.
Yu Jiao looked up and saw that it was the shop assistant, so she motioned him to come in.
"Miss, the Shao family's steward came again last night." The waiter said, "With him came the third master of the Shao family. They want to see you. Do you want to see you?"
