The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Chapter 17 This is not about money

The guys who came to Yuelou all felt that Zhao Yunchuan was a little strange today.

"Wow! Brother Chuan, this wild boar is quite big?"

"You mean the handkerchief? My husband embroidered it."

ha?

Zhao Yunchuan has a good personality and has gotten along well with everyone in the restaurant, from the manager to the waiters. Even Chef Li no longer looks down on Zhao Yunchuan. It is also possible that he is hiding his emotions.

As an adult, everyone knows how to pretend.

The guy was speechless.

Guy: "Brother Chuan, I'm talking about wild boar..."

"My husband hunted it!"

"Sister-in-law is so awesome!"

"That's right. Besides hunting wild boars, my husband's handkerchiefs are also embroidered vividly."

Guy: Haha!

In just half an hour, everyone in the restaurant knew that Zhao Yunchuan had a new handkerchief, a gift from her husband. He looked like a showy peacock, and no one was ashamed to look at him.

Manager Wang had just finished his work and was about to sit down to have a cup of tea when Zhao Yunchuan brought over a small ceramic jar containing Coke.

"Drinking tea is so boring. I have something good here. Want to try it?"

Manager Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "Wine? Don't be foolish, you can't drink alcohol during work, or your wages will be deducted."

“I’m the unruly type.”

Steward Wang: "You are not?"

"of course not!"

Zhao Yunchuan didn't keep the secret and scooped a cup for Steward Wang to taste.

Manager Wang first looked at it, then smelled it, and finally took a small sip.

My eyes light up instantly!

Then he drank it all in one gulp: "It tastes good, what is this, I have never seen it before."

Zhao Yunchuan just smiled and poured another glass: "Drink more if you like."

Manager Wang didn't hesitate and started drinking again. It turned out that this thing was really thirst-quenching.

After finishing the cup, Manager Wang got straight to the point: "You want to sell this in the restaurant?"

"what do you think?"

“It’s marketable!”

Zhao Yunchuan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Lao Wang to talk to the shopkeeper."

"little meaning"

Manager Wang smiled with satisfaction. In fact, Zhao Yunchuan could have directly told Manager Xu that he came to him first. He was trying to do a favor without making a fuss. This guy really knows how to behave.

Manager Wang carried the jar upstairs. Manager Xu had a study upstairs where he would drink tea and check accounts when he was not busy.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard roars from inside.

"Tell me, why is this account not settled? Do you have a pig brain? No, calling you a pig is an insult to pigs, idiot, stupid as hell!"

The accountant was trembling with fear. The restaurant's business had been so good recently that he was always busy at noon every day. The income and expenditure were huge, but the more he earned, the more confused he was. He couldn't figure it out, and it finally became a mess.

Manager Wang shook his head and went downstairs calmly.

"The shopkeeper is having a tantrum upstairs, you..."

Manager Wang glanced at the can, and Zhao Yunchuan said, "Coke!"

Cola……

Steward Wang repeated in his mind: "This is a good name. Drinking it will make you very happy."

This explanation seems pretty good.

"You'll have to wait a little longer."

Manager Wang didn't want to get into trouble. His manager was usually very kind, but he was still a little scary when he got angry. Managing such a big restaurant, he had to have a lot of authority.

Zhao Yunchuan could understand, so he asked casually, "Why are you angry?"

He knew that Manager Xu was no pushover, but he had never seen him get angry.

"Because of the account book." Manager Wang said: "The account is not balanced!"

Zhao Yunchuan chuckled twice. It was unacceptable that the accountant of such a big restaurant like Lai Yue Lou couldn't balance the bills.

Perhaps he could see his confusion, Manager Wang whispered, "The old accountant went to the capital, and this one now is... a distant relative of the shopkeeper."

Zhao Yunchuan suddenly realized that it was someone with connections!

"Just understand it in your heart, but don't tell anyone. Keep it to yourself."

Zhao Yunchuan nodded and put his arm around Manager Wang's shoulders, looking like a good brother.

"Then my matter..."

"I'll help you with that later!"

"How righteous! I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

Zhao Yunchuan went to work, and after work he went to see Manager Wang again. Manager Wang sighed and said, "It's not that I don't care about your matter, but the bad account made the shopkeeper very angry. I am powerless!"

He was also scolded by Manager Xu today because of a trivial matter. People who are in a bad mood just like to go crazy indiscriminately.

Zhao Yunchuan frowned: "You still don't understand?"

Manager Wang shook his head: "The accountant is using his abacus to calculate everything, but he just can't figure it out."

Zhao Yunchuan was also speechless: "How difficult can it be to do an account?"

Shopkeeper Xu just came downstairs when he heard these words. His face turned pale. The boss would come to check the accounts the day after tomorrow. If he handed over such a messy account, he would no longer be the shopkeeper.

Steward Wang patted Zhao Yunchuan on the shoulder and said, "Young man, stop talking nonsense."

Zhao Yunchuan really felt that managing accounts was not difficult. As a child of a large family, he had been exposed to these things almost since he was twelve or thirteen years old. It was indeed not difficult to manage the account book of a small restaurant.

"Keep the Coke for yourself, I'm going back!"

Manager Xu suddenly thought of Zhao Yunchuan's signature. The strokes were powerful, winding like dragons and snakes, and full of spirit. They were even more similar to his own handwriting, suggesting that he had been educated.

Maybe there will really be a settlement.

"Zhao boy!"

Shopkeeper Xu took two steps at a time and walked to Zhao Yunchuan, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, with a gleam in his eyes: "Are you really good at settling accounts?"

Zhao Yunchuan looked at him suspiciously and didn't say anything.

"Can you do it or not?"

"meeting!"

How difficult can it be to do the math? Even an elementary school student can do it!

"Eighty-seven plus sixty-three!"

Zhao Yunchuan blurted out: "One hundred and fifty!"

The accountant took out his abacus and calculated for a while, his eyes full of disbelief: "That's right!"

Zhao Yunchuan black question mark?

Is this really that difficult?

It seems to be true that people in ancient times did not pay much attention to mathematics.

Shopkeeper Xu continued: "One hundred and thirty-nine plus two hundred and seventy-six."

Zhao Yunchuan thought for a moment and quickly answered, "Four hundred and fifteen."

Accountant: “…Right again!”

In addition to shock, there was now a hint of admiration on his face. He had never met anyone whose brain worked faster than an abacus.

Shopkeeper Xu was also very happy, as if he had found a savior.

"Who taught you arithmetic?"

"Master... Master."

"Read a book?"

Zhao Yunchuan nodded. He graduated from a top university.

"Good good..."

Shopkeeper Xu's smile was so eerie that Zhao Yunchuan had a bad feeling and tried to run away. Sure enough, he heard Shopkeeper Xu say, "Let's go upstairs and have some snacks."

"No, I'm not hungry."

"You can be hungry!"

Shopkeeper Xu half-dragged and half-pulled him upstairs and ordered, "Old Wang, bring some tea and snacks to the study."

Zhao Yunchuan also turned around and gave Manager Wang a look, and Manager Wang touched his nose.

These two people are really more clever than each other!

文房

Shopkeeper Xu placed an account book in front of Zhao Yunchuan: "Would you like to take a look?"

Zhao Yunchuan glanced through it and said without being too polite, "It's a mess, a mess."

Shopkeeper Xu was not angry either. He got straight to the point: "Help me sort out the accounts for the past month. I owe you a favor."

Zhao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows but didn't respond.

"Five cents of silver!"

Zhao Yunchuan: "This is not about money!"

Shopkeeper Xu gritted his teeth and said, "One or two taels, no more!"

Zhao Yunchuan: "This is really not about money!"

Shopkeeper Xu: “…”
