Chapter 523 Accounting
Li Xin spat, "Don't tell me that you took the exam because I wanted to draw me to work for you."

Guan Wen smiled, put down the account book and said, "Then I will keep the form you drew."

While talking, Guan Wen took the paper of Li Xin's calculation and read it, looking at the symbols and numbers on it strangely and asked: "What is this?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "The equation listed, the result I read just now was calculated from it."

"is it?"

Guan Wen seemed a little puzzled: "I haven't seen this before."

Li Xin smiled, took back the paper and rolled it up, and said, "Don't worry about it, I want to ask you, why do you need more than one or two taels of silver for a piece of leather?"

Guan Wen replied: "This leather is a high-end product. In fact, I didn't expect to sell it when I bought it in the store. A newly opened store like ours can't compare with big and old stores."

"Then what did you buy it for?"

"To decorate the facade."

Guan Wen said with a smile: "I put it out for everyone to see. We still have high-end things in our shop. And maybe someone saw it and thought about buying it?"

Li Xin suddenly realized: "It turned out that I wanted to improve the quality of the shop."

Guan Wen smiled and nodded.

"Then how much do you usually buy for medium leather in this shop?" Li Xin asked.

"The better ones cost more than 1000 yuan, and the general ones cost one or two hundred yuan, or several hundred yuan." Guan Wen replied.

After thinking carefully, Li Xin blinked and asked Guan Wen: "Then what is the difference between buying and selling?"

Guan Wen approached Li Xin in a low voice, and sprayed warm breath on her ear: "Of course the price has been raised, and the lady of the host family says as much as you want."

Li Xin's cheeks were flushed, and he gave Guan Wen a sideways look, pushed him away from him, and said, "Have you ever gone to the market to ask? People like to shop around when they buy things. Cheap is the best. For the same thing, a lower price has an advantage. It’s not how cheap I say it counts.”

Guan Wen laughed softly: "I know, I also wandered around the market for a while, and I went to inquire about it myself, and I also asked someone to inquire about it. I have a good idea."

Li Xin nodded: "It's good that you have your own score, so that you won't be caught off guard sometimes. There's more."

Li Xin paused, seeing Guan Wen looking at her seriously, he couldn't help but blush again.

"Fur goods are still divided into seasons. Winter and spring are the hot season, and summer and autumn are the off-season. It may be fine for you to start a business now, but after a while..."

Li Xin's eyes were tainted with worry: "People usually buy these when the weather is cold."

Guan Wen smiled at her, as if to comfort her: "Don't worry, two seasons is enough."

"In summer and autumn..."

"In summer and autumn, you can do some other business." Guan Wen said with a smile: "And at that time, there may not be no business at all, right? Although it is a little weaker, after all, at that time, because no one bought it, the price would be low. Some are used to attract customers, but some can still be sold.”

Li Xin pursed his lips, Guan Wen said again: "Besides, I can go around to collect goods at that time, it's a good time."

Li Xin opened his mouth, and said just now: "You have planned it all?"

Guan Wen nodded and said, "I always have to take one step at a time. Not every step is in my expectation, so I still have to play it by ear."

Li Xin nodded.

The couple chatted for a while, during which time Guan Wen was called by the clerk in the shop to give instructions. Taking advantage of this free time, Li Xin helped Guan Wen sort out the account books in the shop.

At this time, there are not many accounts in Guan Wen's shop, basically all the money spent.After all, the shop hadn't opened yet, and there was no profit. Li Xin still felt a little pained seeing the sum of money spent.

After a while, Guan Quan came back, and the young boy who followed him took a large piece of fat pork, a fish, and a skinned rabbit, and a handful of vegetarian dishes.

"Sister-in-law, there is still rice in the shop, meat, vegetables, etc. are all bought every day."

"Then I should have bought it today." Li Xin doubted.

Guan Quan said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is here, of course I want to have extra meals."

"I'm looking forward to your coming." Guan Wenwen was talking to the boy, and when he heard the words, he turned around and said with a smile: "It is said that the wife of the boss is here, and I will improve the food for them."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Co-authoring with me is such a function."

Everyone in the shop laughed, everyone felt that the wife of the boss was gentle and beautiful, with a kind and amiable temperament, and she didn't have the arrogance of the boss's wife from other families at all. It's really a good match, they are all big and generous characters.

Li Xin took the meat from Guan Quan's hand, exhaled and said, "Where is the kitchen? I'll get it."

Guan Quan was eager for Li Xin to say this, so he hurriedly asked the boy behind him to take Li Xin, and when Li Xin stepped out of the shop and went to the small courtyard at the back, Guan Quan shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, hey, everyone! What a blessing! My sister-in-law cooks herself!"

Guan Wen scolded with a smile: "You are very happy."

Guan Quan smiled and said, "Isn't that right, brother, I haven't tasted sister-in-law's cooking for a long time, I'm so hungry!"

"Brother Quan, the wife of the host family is very skilled?"

"Your cooking can't be compared at all." Guan Quan said bluntly: "If the food you make is eaten by humans, what my sister-in-law cooks will be eaten by gods!"

"Okay, let's all be gods today!"

Although the shop was not too close to the yard behind, the men's voices were thick and thick, and Li Xin naturally heard them walking in the yard, and shook his head amusedly.

Everyone was looking forward to Li Xin's craftsmanship, and Li Xin did not disappoint them.A pot of boiled rabbit glistening in oil, with thinly sliced ​​white meat, but just these two meat dishes made everyone's eyes shine.

The most important thing about white-cut meat is the dipping sauce. The taste of Li Xin's tune is authentic. All the men ate it with delicious taste. Not to mention the rice, all the dishes on the table were wiped out.

Guan Quan didn't snatch the last piece of white meat. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately grabbed the dipping material and poured it into his own bowl. Take the meat and wipe the bowl clean."

Li Xin laughed and said: "Fourth brother, if you like it, I'll make you another bowl of dipping sauce, will it work? It's so powerful..."

Guan Quan shook his head and said, "No sister-in-law, this dipping sauce is good to eat with rice. It's just a pity that the meat was snatched by the little bastards."

Most of the clerks in Guan Wen's shop are young guys under the age of 20, and there are two thirteen or fourteen-year-olds, and the greenness on their faces has not faded.

In modern times, that would be illegal child labor.But in such an era, it is normal for young children to come out to make money.

But for a bite to eat.

Li Xin also heard from Guan Wen that the young men he recruited were all from poor families. Some of them were people he knew when he was a dart before. Use them when you see them.

That's fine, Li Xin thought, they knew the basics, and they were kind of friendly. After receiving Guan Wen's favor, they would definitely help Guan Wen take care of the business and the shop.

After drinking and eating, everyone went to rest. Li Xin approached Guan Quan and explained to him how to keep accounts on the form. Guan Quan's eyes lit up.

"Sister-in-law, you have a good idea!"

"Isn't that good?" Li Xin said with a smile: "In the future, we will use this form for bookkeeping. It’s easier to figure it out.”

"Well, sister-in-law, then I will use this method!" Guan Quan laughed and sighed again: "But I am afraid that there will be too many words recorded in this small box, and every note must be detailed. The framed place is squeezed out."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "How do you remember?"

After taking the account book in Guan Quan's hand and looking carefully, Li Xin was a little dumbfounded.

She hasn't noticed yet, Guan Quan kept the accounts, and every transaction was written in great detail.

Time, place, transaction person, transaction amount, transaction goods... One write is a very long sentence.

"Can't you just write the key words in it? Like this sentence—" Li Xin pointed to the sentence "On the 120th of the winter month, [-] pieces of leather goods were received at the Yuhui County Wharf, with an average price of [-] yuan, and the seller is Master Jiang" Said: "I don't care if the date is in the front, then write fur goods, add the name of the seller, add the number of sheets and the average price... like this..."

Li Xin wrote a concise bookkeeping statement, connecting the number of sheets and the average price with a cross to indicate multiplication, and then explained it to Guan Quan in detail.

Guan Quan is indeed a person with a flexible mind, even if he has grasped the essence of it.

Li Xin said: "At this moment, there are only these items in the store's expenditure and income. The account books can be opened up and listed in detail. The items that have no transactions on the day can be left blank, and some can be recorded. If there are more in the future Items can also be added later.”

Guan Quan stared at the draft of the form drawn by Li Xin, wrote and drew on it comprehendingly, then raised his head and smiled at Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, I really... admire you so much!"

Li Xin smiled, wondering whether to teach Guan Quan Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Think about it or think forget it.

It is my own idea that the table can be explained, so how to explain the Arabic numerals in the equation?

If the explanation is not clear, it’s because I keep it in my heart so that no one will know.

Guan Quan took the form and went to study it. Li Xin approached Guan Wen and said, "I thought about it, but I still don't think I should stay in town overnight."

Guan Wen was about to ask her to stay, but Li Xin said, "Your shop hasn't opened yet, so you're not the only one living in the small yard, but some fellows also live here? It's not good for me to stay here..."

Guan Wen seemed a little disappointed.

Li Xin smiled and said: "According to the time, Wei Shusheng will be back soon. When he comes back, he will definitely pick up Mrs. Wei, and you can come back with him. At this moment, your shop is in the final repair time, you Don't just relax."
