The remaining loose copper coins, after being counted by Jiang Xun, totaled ninety-seven coins.
The cost of making mosquito coils is very low, only a little over a hundred coins.
Jiang Wanwan never imagined that making and selling these traditional mosquito coils in ancient times would be such a lucrative business.
She took out a small notebook from her crossbody bag and started writing and drawing in it.
The Jiang family members peeked over and asked, "Wan girl, what are you doing?"
"We keep accounts! All the money we earn from selling mosquito coils at our stall is recorded in this book. And all the household expenses are also recorded in this book."
Old Jiang's family suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. "I see."
Uncle Jiang had worked as an accountant and was very interested in accounts.
He peeked over and found that his niece's notebook contained very simple entries, yet each entry was clear and easy to understand, much simpler than his own method of bookkeeping.
He was both surprised and delighted, and quickly asked, "Wan'er, what kind of bookkeeping method is this? Your second uncle has never seen it before. Your bookkeeping method is much simpler than my own, and the accounts look much clearer! Wan'er, you are really smart, even your second uncle is impressed!"
He sincerely gave Jiang Wanwan a thumbs up and looked at her with admiration.
Jiang Wanwan glanced down at the accounts in the notebook, then looked up at her second uncle. Judging from his expression, he clearly assumed that this simple bookkeeping method was her idea.
Jiang Wanwan was unusually embarrassed. Her method of keeping accounts was the modern double-entry bookkeeping system, not something she came up with herself.
However, she couldn't think of a good reason to explain it now, so she could only smile and reluctantly take the place of this honor.
Yeah, it's really a stretch.
Uncle Jiang was intrigued. If he learned this bookkeeping method, he would never have to worry about finding a job as an accountant.
Uncle Jiang rubbed his hands together, his old face beaming, and asked cautiously, "My dear niece, could you teach your uncle this way of keeping accounts?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Of course."
The Jiang family business will grow even larger in the future, and she can't possibly handle everything herself; that would exhaust her. Therefore, training people to help her share the workload is an urgent matter.
Jiang Erbo is a member of the Jiang family and has his own experience in accounting, so she feels at ease letting him manage the family's accounts.
"That's great, hahaha~~" Uncle Jiang was as happy as a child.
The Jiang family members teased Uncle Jiang a few times.
"Second brother, from now on you must call Wan'er 'Master'?"
Uncle Jiang said with a smile, "As long as Wan'er teaches me this bookkeeping method, I'll be happy to call it whatever I want."
These words caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.
Jiang Wanwan was very satisfied with the Jiang family's studious spirit.
She grabbed the loose change on the table and began distributing wages to everyone in Old Jiang's family.
"Sir, this is your wages." Jiang Wanwan counted out fifteen coins and placed them in Old Man Jiang's hand.
Old Jiang grinned from ear to ear and accepted his wages with both hands.
"Grandma, this is for you. Thank you for your hard work," Jiang Wanwan said.
Grandma Jiang accepted the gift with both hands, her gums showing as she smiled broadly, repeatedly saying, "It's no trouble at all, no trouble at all. Grandma should thank you, granddaughter! If it weren't for you, how could this old woman like me earn so much money? Hahaha~~"
