Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 182
It's easy to see whether Fu Chen'er is willing to accept Rong Ming's care. Rong Ming's personality is actually somewhat similar to that of his elder brother Fu Chengbi. They are both gentle and elegant and love to take care of young children. Shen'er was very moved when she saw Rong Ming caring for her, as if her brother was such a gentle person when he was healthy.

So she involuntarily followed Rong Ming's pace, and Rong Ming placed Fu Chen'er on the seat, took the snacks from the side and handed them to Fu Chen'er, saying: "Miss Chen'er, did you come to eat when you're hungry?" a little."

Fu Chen'er hurriedly declined, saying, "Thank you, Brother Rong Ming, I'm not hungry."

Rong Ming didn't force it, so he put it aside, Rong Shui followed, because Fu Chen'er was speechless about his care just now, so he didn't strike up a conversation easily, just sat aside and waited for her to chat with her elder brother.

Seeing Fu Chen'er's cautious and disciplined appearance, Rong Ming felt a little soft-hearted, but now he is not clear about the situation.So he asked again: "Chen'er, Rongshui, what's going on with you? What bad things happened to this Miss Shen'er's family?"

Fu Chen'er was afraid that Rong Shui would tell the story of her acquaintance, so she was about to speak first: "...My brother and I have been wandering outside to buy calligraphy and paintings and write letters for others to make a living. Brother Shi Shi was seriously ill and cut off his livelihood, and he had no money to see a doctor and buy medicine. Fortunately, Miss Rongshui came to the rescue. My brother and I are very grateful. My brother asked me to come and thank you in person. Miss Rongshui thank you Great kindness."

The last sentence was obviously addressed to Rong Shui, but Rong Shui didn't feel the gratitude that Fu Chen'er said... Her tone was flat and her mood didn't fluctuate, it wasn't that Rong Shui was asking her to kneel and worship Originally, that wasn't her purpose of saving people, but it was more curious, the girl really didn't seem to like herself very much.

Naturally, Rong Ming is not as sensitive as Rong Shui, and he has a careful insight into people's hearts. He just praised his second sister in his heart and passed on a good story.

So he replied unceremoniously instead of Rong Shui: "These are just trivial things, but it can be seen that Miss Shen'er really cares for her brother, and by the way, Miss Shen'er, how is your brother's condition now?" gone?"

Fu Chen'er replied politely: "Thank you, brother Rongming, for your concern. My brother has almost healed under the treatment of moxibustion and herbal medicines by Doctor Le, and there is no problem in walking down the road. Today, my brother was going to come with me to look for it." Benefactor, but my younger sister is worried that his body will not be able to withstand the wind, so she will not allow him to go out, and she will definitely visit him after he is fully recovered, please forgive me."

Rong Shui didn't think much after hearing this speech, and didn't notice that Fu Chen'er deliberately concealed how the two met. Rong Ming thought it was Fu Chen'er's sad thing, so naturally he didn't ask any more questions.

Rong Ming didn't care too much and said: "There's no need to be so troublesome, Shen'er, you are considerate of brother's thoughts, and we are very touched, so don't stick to these etiquettes."

Rong Ming Huashuo's sincerity, Fu Chen'er feels his understanding is also a little more favorable, and remembering that the girl who just went to the Rong family's mansion to open the door is also warm-hearted, it seems that the people of the Rong family are very kind , except...except this Rongshui who she can't like at all.

Seeing that the little girl was wearing thin clothes, thinking that it was going to be winter soon, Rong Ming was afraid that it would not be too cold, so he called a long-term worker in the store and told him: "Take some money and go to the store to buy some thick cotton clothes for this Shen'er." Take some back, girl."

Fu Chen'er got up quickly and was about to push back, her face was flushed, she was unwilling to accept the endless kindness from the Rong family no matter what.

She said: "Brother Rong Ming, it's absolutely impossible! Miss Rong Shui has done a great favor to my family. She is already very grateful and has nothing to repay. If she accepts these things again, it will be unjustifiable. This time I came here mainly to thank you in person. In the future, I will return all the money for Miss Rongshui's phone bill! I really don't dare to ask for these anymore, but I accept it."

Rong Ming looked at Fu Chen'er's firm eyes, he didn't seem to waver at all, he couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

Rong Shui remembered the same look in his eyes when Fu Chen'er came to pay back his money that day, and guessed that he would not accept it, so he came over to persuade him: "Brother, since Shen'er doesn't want to feel ashamed, then let's not make things difficult for our lovers." Let’s go! Besides, the silver taels I left for them last time should be enough for them to survive the winter!”

Rong Ming could only nod his head, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Shen'er to be so stubborn, she really is a woman with backbone."

Fu Chen'er bowed her head and said shamefully: "I hope you two don't laugh at me. Although Shen'er and elder brother live in poverty, they can survive. It's not because they don't want to accept elder brother Rong Ming's kindness, but because they feel that these kindnesses should be Distribute it to those who need help more, and just as Miss Rongshui said, the silver taels given to us before are enough to survive the whole winter."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Rong Shui meaningfully. Rong Shui didn't know why, but it's hard to say that she hated a child with a miserable life experience, a stubborn and hard-to-discernible mind, and she also behaved very well towards her brother. Sincere thanks are at best just strange.

While talking back and forth, the small workers in the shop had already finished their meals and went to work, and the customers came in one after another to buy fried chicken for night or afternoon.

At this time, a large number of customers with membership cards from neighboring counties came in front of the cashier counter and wanted to buy in large quantities. When they came in, they said, "Where is the boss here! My sisters and my family came here specially to buy fried rice today." The chicken and chicken chops have to be ready for us early."

There were six or seven people in a group, each with a membership card in their hand, and they could tell at a glance that it was a big deal. Rong Ming knew that there was no delay, and complained endlessly: "I don't know how long I will be busy. The most fearful thing is this kind of business." There are a lot of customers who come to buy fried chicken together, and it will take a long time to write down the accounts alone."

But complaining is just complaining. Rong Ming cares about his family's business very much. After complaining, he would go to greet Fu Chen'er, but he still took the time to say to Fu Chen'er: "Chen'er, don't leave. I'll wait until I'm over busy now." Let me ask you something, although you don’t want to take things away, but I heard from Xiao Gong that you have been guarding the door in the morning, so you must have never had lunch, so you must eat these pastries before you are allowed to leave, Rong Shui Be sure to watch her for me."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned around and went to record the membership account book with Rong Wan, who had already done it.

Rongshui remembered the elder brother's advice, so he said to Fu Chen'er: "Miss Chen'er, you should sit down and wait a while, you shouldn't be in a hurry to go back? Then eat some pastries before leaving, or my elder brother will be forced to leave again." Don't worry, blame me."

However, Fu Chen'er's mind wasn't here at this time, and she didn't care whether Rong Shui would be blamed by Rong Ming, so she responded in vain: "Okay, sister Rong Shui, don't worry, I'll wait for you." Brother Rong Ming will leave when he is done with his work."

After she finished speaking, she looked curiously at Rong Ming's busy direction, and saw that she and another girl were busy looking for the ledgers in the large bookcases behind the counter, and after finding them, they were busy writing and drawing on them. painted.

This strange behavior attracted Fu Chen'er's attention. I said before that she was born and raised in a family of officials and officials. When she was young, she loved the excitement and would go out shopping with the nursemaid and maidservants. Haven't you seen anything in the bustling Yangzhou city?Moreover, he said that before Fu Chen'er and his concubine brought him into the Fu family, he was doing some rouge and gouache business alone in Yangzhou, and only because the concubine's husband died young did she remarry and enter Fu's mansion to become Fu Chengbi's father's third wife , so I have long known how the merchants sell things, so when I saw Rong Ming’s collection procedure, which was obviously different from that of the shopkeepers outside, I asked strangely: “Why does Brother Rong Ming collect money but not cash? That bamboo board, I need to look for accounts again, what is that? Don’t general stores wait until closing every day before starting to clear the general accounts in the store? Why does Brother Rong Ming have to record while doing it, and he doesn’t even pay the cashier? Money, really strange!"

Rong Shui heard Fu Chen'er's doubts and explained: "The collection process in our store is different from other stores. We adopt a membership system. Simply put, we let customers put money in our store. When he comes to spend, it will be deducted from his money until the money he has stored in our store is used up, and then he can recharge it, so we have to write down every account at the time, otherwise it will be time for the final calculation at night , who remembers who consumed how much?"

Rong Shui just gave a simple and plain explanation. The actual member recharge consumption system may be much more complicated to explain. If the little girl is just curious, she will simply explain it.

Fu Chen'er followed her mother in the rouge and gouache business since she was a child, and the bustling girls in Yangzhou City are famously beautiful. There are more women who love to dress up than in this ordinary place. She was also a little bit influenced by her mother since she was a child. Knowing some things about doing business, it was refreshing to hear Rong Shui say this strange way of doing business.

She temporarily forgot her bad impression of Rong Shui, and sighed: "This is really unheard of and unseen!"

I heard Rong Shui's words too much, and I didn't take it seriously in my heart. I just laughed and said, if you a group of ancient people know the modern people's business methods, then it's okay?Unless you are also people who have traveled from modern times.

Fu Chen'er was curious like a person of the same age, she observed Rong Ming carefully for a while, pondered for a while and then asked: "Isn't that the case that Brother Rong Ming has to calculate the remaining balance of this customer every time he keeps an account? ?”

Rong Shui followed her gaze and looked at Rong Ming, and replied: "It's best to calculate the balance of members at that time, but some customers have a large base of savings, and some customers buy a lot of things, so it is really difficult to calculate on the spot." It’s too exhausting, so I don’t usually calculate it on the spot when I’m exhausted, I just record the amount of money used by the customer this time, see if the balance is enough, and then calculate it at night.”
