Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 252 Modern Methodology Bookkeeping

As soon as Liu Ya finished speaking, Liu Xu'er brought a plate of dishes to Liu Dacheng's house.After hearing this, he paused for a moment, and then said to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, you mean, these days, Xiao Shu'er has been taking care of the small water shop on the official road? Then in a few days, Xiao Shu'er can't Let me go, let me help you."

After Liu Xu'er finished speaking, Liu Ya frowned slightly.She always felt that Liu Xu'er was not suitable for this job.

For one thing, she is not as smart as Xiao Shu'er. Whether the business of this small water shop is good or not depends on the faces and moods of the customers.If you are happy to answer the guest correctly, the reward will naturally not be less.But Liu Xu'er can't do it, sometimes she speaks with a bit of meanness.

Secondly, Liu Ya felt that Liu Xu'er was not a generous person.If Liu Xu'er felt that the rewards from the guests were too small, or someone simply refused to reward them, Liu Xu'er's face would show that, then the business could not be done.

Liu Ya then said: "Sister, dad still needs someone to take care of him. Besides, you turned over the land in the front and back yards of our house to grow vegetables. There is a lot of work in this house, so you should work harder and stay in the garden." Let’s go home. I’ll hand over Xiaoshuipu to Chunniu, she’s still idle after all.”

Liu Xu'er heard that Liu Ya still insisted on handing over Xiaoshuipu to Chun Niu, so she anxiously said: "Ya'er, we are a family after all. Is there no certain amount of reward from this guest? You let Chun Go and see, she is short of money after all." Liu Xu'er didn't say anything about it.

But Liu Ya also understood what Liu Xuer meant.Liu Ya shook her head and smiled, and said: "Elder Sister, I don't doubt whether to hire someone or not. Since I have decided to use her, I will trust her wholeheartedly. It's good to let Chunniu try it, if she can do it." , I will come up with some tricks on this official road in the future, and Chun Niu can help me guard this road."

"There must be a famous hall." Liu Xu'er felt astringent after hearing this.But judging from Liu Ya's intentions, she really didn't want to give it to herself at all.Simply said: "Ya'er, didn't you tell me before that you can't easily believe what outsiders say. Why did you change it to yourself today, and the meaning has changed. Eldest sister is sincerely for your own good, for the sake of this family. Thinking about it, I don’t want such a good deal to be taken advantage of by others in the end. However, if you think Aunt Chunniu is trustworthy, then trust her. If...she is really not good, the eldest sister will help you again, and take this Store up."

After hearing this, Liu Ya felt a little awkward.But Liu Xu'er is her eldest sister after all, and it's not the first time I've seen her stingy, so I just nodded and said: "That's another story, let's see it first."

Liu Xu'er still didn't believe herself when she heard Liu Ya's meaning, and her heart was even more panicked.But remembering what father said to her before, he sighed, relaxed his mind, and could only let Liu Ya go.

Dinner was still eaten in Liu Dacheng's room as usual.While eating, Liu Dacheng asked: "Ya'er, Siping will come to learn art tomorrow, what should I teach him? Or you should help dad figure it out and see what kind of bamboo basket weaves looks good."

"Let Siping figure it out on his own first, and Dad will also see how his craftsmanship is. I think, don't stick to the form, he naturally has his own set of ideas. As long as Dad teaches him how to fine-tune the craft .As for the style, let him decide for himself. If they are all carved out of the same mold, they will have no characteristics.”

Liu Ya feels that if this craft is done well and the mind is active, then she can become a folk artist.But if the pursuit of a style is too rigid, then the best craftsman is nothing more than a craftsman.If given a choice for her, she would rather cultivate an artist who has her own ideas and can produce good works, rather than a craftsman who can only work hard and make according to the pattern.

Liu Dacheng didn't quite understand Liu Ya's words, but he felt that what Ya'er said seemed to make sense, so he said, "Then I will teach according to Ya'er's intentions. However, whether the weaving is good or not, and what style is suitable, Ya'er will be the one to choose." You choose yourself."

"Okay, you guys do it first, and I'll check and accept it together later. If there are really high-quality goods, I'll give Siping a bonus if they sell for a good price." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she said, "Father, don't you want to learn to remember Well, I’ll teach you after dinner later. Did you know how to write?”

"No." At this point, Liu Dacheng blushed a bit, and then said: "Your mother used to preach to me, but I was busy all day, and fell asleep when I got home, but I haven't learned a single character. Ya'er, you teach me now, don't think Dad is too stupid."

Liu Ya smiled and said: "No, father will not be stupid. You see how smart Xiao Shuer is, he is father's son, of course father will not be stupid."

"Ya'er, can I also learn to keep accounts from you?" Liu Xu'er heard that her father also wanted to learn how to keep accounts, so she also wanted to join in the fun.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "Of course. If you still want to learn to write and write poems, I'll teach you together. Anyway, teaching Xiaoshu'er alone is almost the same as teaching three people in our family. Same thing."

Liu Xu'er quickly waved her hand and said: "I don't learn to write, I feel tired just looking at the little tree writing. I just learn how to keep accounts. In a few months, the vegetables grown in our vegetable field can be sold. Isn't it possible to set up an account book?"

"Okay then, I'll teach you one of the simplest and most convenient bookkeeping methods." Liu Ya smiled, thinking about using modern Arabic numerals and the "debit" and "credit" methods.

After all, Liu Ya is not too clear about how to keep accounts in ancient times, but she thinks Arabic numerals are easy to learn and easy to write; while tens of billions in modern banks use the debit method to keep accounts, she taught this method to Dad and Liu Xu Well, it's easier for them to learn.Besides, both father and Liu Xu'er couldn't read, let alone write, so it wouldn't be strange for them to teach them the modern digital bookkeeping method.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya couldn't help laughing.He added: "Actually, I haven't learned a serious accounting method. I just figured out a method myself. I remember it very accurately and clearly. But if I show it to a real accountant, I probably won't understand it. .You can use it yourself in our house after you learn it, but don’t show it to others.”

Liu Xu'er agreed: "Understood, I won't. We also keep accounts for ourselves, so we can't show them to others."

You don't have to worry about Liu Da's achievement, he stays at home all day and won't go out at all.I remember that they are all the accounts of money in and out of the family. How can anyone show their savings to outsiders?
