Sometimes I don’t understand and I will ask myself what this money is for and what it buys.
The questions were extremely detailed, otherwise she would have never touched that abacus from beginning to end.
Wu Mingtang almost believed that she might really be helping him settle the accounts.
Thinking of her wish, Wu Mingtang couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and picked up a piece of cake to eat.
I have to say, the taste is better this time.
It was still slightly hot in my hand, and it was obvious that this was just cooked.
"Have you discussed everything?" Wu Mingtang asked casually.
But after he asked this question, he didn't get any answer from Jian Xiu.
Driven by curiosity, Wu Mingtang raised his head and looked in the direction of Jian Xiu.
But he saw her carefully looking through his account book.
Looking at her expression, sometimes in deep thought, sometimes frowning, it was obvious that she had discovered something was wrong.
But Wu Mingtang also knew that he was just overthinking it.
Jian Xiu was just taking a quick look at the account book. Even if there was something wrong with it, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
But Wu Mingtang was very curious about what she was looking at so seriously.
So he stepped forward, leaned over and looked at the account book in her hand.
Sure enough, after getting closer, Wu Mingtang discovered that Jian Xiu was not watching at all.
Because she flips through the books very quickly.
Before he even had time to finish reading, Jian Xiu had already turned to the next page.
At this speed, how can 꺗 be calculating the accounts?
Thinking of this, Wu Mingtang shook his head helplessly and continued with the account book in his hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he saw Jian Xiu waving at him.
Helplessly, Wu Mingtang had to put down the cake in his hand, approached again and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There's something wrong here!" Jian Xiu said, pointing to a certain place in the account book.
"What's the problem? Isn't pork ten copper coins? On weekdays it's fifteen copper coins. Since we are old customers of Yuexianglou and we order a lot, we usually give you a discount of one copper coin."
“I said it’s not about the price.”
"What's the problem?"
"I've looked at your account book. You've been using about 200 kilograms of pork every day recently, and you haven't purchased any more." Jian Xiu said seriously.
"That's enough, so there's no need to buy more, right?" Wu Mingtang said as a matter of course.
Hearing Wu Mingtang's tone, Jian Xiu was about to observe a quarter of an hour of silence for his wallet.
"You are wrong. Was your business as good before as it is now? It certainly wasn't! But I have seen your account books. You used to buy 200 kilograms of pork a day, and there was nothing left. Now you buy 200 kilograms of pork a day, and there is nothing left. According to your Yuexianglou's current business, it should be at least half of what it was before! But you buy the same amount of pork. Don't you think there is a problem?"
After Jian Xiu mentioned this, Wu Mingtang immediately understood.
So he quickly took the account book and wanted to see if the same was true for dishes other than pork.
However, Jian Xiu seemed to know what he was thinking and said honestly:
"No need to look, I've seen it all. Apart from the vegetables, oil and salt, everything else is purchased the same, especially rice. There are obviously half as many customers, but you still buy so much rice."
In fact, Jian Xiu really wanted to say that in her eyes, such a problem would be discovered for the first time.
It's a pity that you have been a shopkeeper for decades, but you can't even find such a basic problem.
But when Jian Xiu thought about the way of doing the accounts here, she felt it was nothing strange.
This is because they don't even know how to calculate an income or output item, and the most detailed thing they do is how much money they received today.
Then compare how much money you spent in the whole month. If you make some money, then it's done.
Such account books really cannot reveal any problems.
"Hiss, what should I do? If this is really the case..."
"You shouldn't tolerate this kind of thing. Catch one and send him to the government. When the rest see you, they will naturally give up the money they have pocketed over the years."
Jian Xiu looked at Wu Mingtang and said very seriously.
"That's true, but it may take a long time to settle the accounts. Besides, many accounts may not be sorted out."
"Is this yours for this year?" Jian Xiu asked, pointing to a small pile of account books on the side.
"That's not the case. This has been going on for more than two years."
"This one in my hand is yours for this month, right?"
"Yes, just this one month is enough to kill me."
Jian Xiu: “…” There are only a few words on each page, how can it be considered dead?
If this were the end of the world, would it still be possible to survive?
"Do you have any blank rice paper? Give me two!"
"Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment!" Wu Mingtang said with a smile.
The more Wu Mingtang spent time with Jian Xiu, the more he understood her.
From the tone of her voice, it seemed like she had a way to sort it out for herself.
So he immediately waved to the waiter beside him and asked him to bring two sheets of rice paper.
"Here is the rice paper, what do you want to write?"
"I will teach you a method of accounting that is easy to understand and clear at a glance."
"Want to know what the method is? If you want to know, go inside and watch Lu Yaoling and Wu Si's second episode."
"Can there be such a good thing?"
"Just watch!"
After saying this, Jian Xiu began to draw a table on rice paper. Each table had a header indicating its purpose.
Then he wrote down the time, and then recorded all the money in his entire kitchen, including the money spent by the workers.
Then she also wrote down the money that Yuexianglou had collected this month...
Finally, Jian Xiu wrote the word "total" at the bottom of the grid.
In this way, whether it is receipt or payment, it is clear at a glance.
"What about this? I record it every month. There are twelve months in a year. You can use a special book to record the months. Next, you can use the same method to record each day."
"As for me, I can remember your daily money at a glance, so I won't remember it. If you can't remember it, use the same method to record your daily money on this grid."
When Wu Mingtang saw the grid drawn by Jian Xiu, the more he looked at it in detail, the more surprised he became.
Looking at it this way, it is just as she said, the whole table is clear at a glance.
As she said, there are twelve months in a year, which means that you only need to record on twelve pieces of rice paper in a year.
As for the daily expenses, he had already recorded them in the account book.
It's just that he didn't use the method Jian Xiugang taught him to remember it, so this might take a little more time.
But from now on, no, starting today, he can record in this way.
