Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

In the early morning of the next day, after everyone packed up, they talked to Lin Shuanghe, and then went to wait under the big tree beside the Qingliang River.

Around the middle of the day, only three of them were picked up by the host. Zhang Shu sat at the back, so naturally it was not his turn.

After another hour, Laiwang and the other two were also picked away. Before leaving, Laiwang told him that if no one came to recruit workers all day today, he would be asked to stay at the Lin's Inn for another night. The tree nodded.He is an adult and no one else is in charge of his life.

Sitting under the shade of a big tree, watching other people come and go for their lives, it’s a bit appropriate.With a smile, he looked at Shiqiao leisurely, but he didn't know that others were also looking at him.

"You mean him?"

"Yeah, the last time he and Butler Mo came to pull bricks, the calculation was really fast."

"Fast calculations don't mean he knows how to keep accounts!" The person came with a frowning face, with a lingering depression between his brows.

"A dead horse should be a living horse doctor, otherwise what should I do? Your accountant has something at home, so he won't be able to come back for seven or eight days, right? Seeing that the owner is about to collect the bill, who do you let the account be for these few days? remember?"

"It's really not possible, find a scholar..."

He hesitated, mainly because he didn't believe that such a country guy could do the job.

The owner of the brick factory next to him sneered, "Can a scholar do this job for you? Don't insult him. In a business like ours, when you send money to your door, others think it smells like copper."

The shopkeeper of the grocery store shook his head, this Hu Da has become so angry with a book.Even if there is, it can't be like this for everyone, right?Forget it, let's see how this young man is doing, if he can't, then spend a lot of money to find a scholar.

Zhang Shu was looking at the distance with fascination, and suddenly it was dark in front of him. When he looked up, he found two people standing in front of him, one was tall and bearded, and looked familiar, and the other only left a little bit on his chin. Beard, wearing a blue gown, looks decent.

"You two...are you looking to hire short-term workers?" Seeing that the two men just looked at each other but didn't speak, Zhang Shu hesitated and opened his mouth first.

"Brother, don't you know me? You and Butler Mo went to my place to buy bricks last month!" Mr. Hu was tall and his voice was so loud that the birds on the trembling tree flapped their wings and flew away.

As soon as he made the sound, Zhang Shu recognized it, "It turned out to be Boss Hu! I'm so rude." He stood up, a little embarrassed, only to blame Boss Hu, who was so disgraced in the brick kiln that day, that he couldn't recognize this man for a while. people.

"Hey, don't do this to me." Hu Da hated others to use that scholar's gift to him the most, "Young student, there is a good job right now, do you want to do it?"

Zhang Shu raised his eyes to look at him, and thought to himself, what kind of good work can there be in the brick kiln, other than moving bricks and throwing embryos.But he looked at Hu Da with a bit of curiosity on his face at the right time.

"Can you do the accountant's work?"

Shopkeeper Yan spoke up.

Zhang Shu thought for a while, then nodded, "I can do it." After selling rice with the village head last time, he still has some confidence.

Shopkeeper Yan was still a little skeptical, "Yomo?"

"Well, shopkeeper, if you don't mind, I can give it a try. Anyway, no one is recruiting now. If it doesn't work, I will continue to come back and squat here. If it is feasible, we can discuss it again?"

Take the initiative in everything, the big mouth is not just for you to eat!Zhang Shu's mind always echoed this sentence that others scolded him, but he felt that what he said was still reasonable.

Shopkeeper Yan's brows stretched, yes, anyway, it's not in vain, and he won't give money if he tries it. "Then you come with me."

"Hey!" Zhang Shu packed up his things under the tree, and then followed Hu Da and Yan shopkeeper.

Nantong Grocery Store is a big store on this street. There are countless people coming and going every day, and keeping accounts is also a troublesome thing.

In fact, shopkeeper Yan recruited two accountants at the beginning, and the two came in shifts, so that if one of them had something to do, he could find a substitute.It's a pity that they are friends, and the two of them can't talk about life and death together. Every day, someone asks him to argue over trivial matters.

He was so annoyed that in the end there was only one accountant left, who was the brother of the man who was concubine with the second son of the boss.

The boss originally checked the accounts on March [-]st, who would have thought that this time it would be ahead of schedule?But there was something wrong with the accountant, saying that the second young master approved the fake, and he, the old Yan, a shopkeeper, couldn't do anything about it.

But if the boss can't collect the account, then it will be his old Yan who will eat the melon in the end.At this moment, he didn't know where to find an accountant to come back. You know, this job is also very popular.

Standing in front of the Nantong Grocery Store, Zhang Shu felt a little uneasy. If he had known it was such a big store, he would never have dared to boast about it.But now that the words have been spoken, it's too late to regret. Fortunately, he didn't finish his words...

Seeing shopkeeper Yan come back for work in the shop, it was like seeing a savior, "Shopkeeper, I really can't do this job, thanks to the lack of people in the morning, otherwise I would never remember it."

"Look at how promising you are!" the shopkeeper said, "I've found a cashier, and you tell him the account this morning, and I won't need you in the afternoon." He remembered yesterday's account, Although it was a bit messy, at least there were no mistakes or omissions. The account in this little tiger's hand is so blinding!

"Hey!" Xiaohu responded happily, then pulled Zhang Shu over, and handed him a writing brush and a new account book, "Come here, let me tell you something!"

Zhang Shu's things were still placed at the gate, but Xiaohu pulled them over. Fortunately, the shopkeeper asked someone to take them in and hide them for him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find them.

Zhang Shu looked at the account book in Xiaohu's hand, on which he wrote a few words similar to peanuts, melon seeds, and a date, which he wrote as early in the morning.If you can't write it out, draw a circle.

The line of price and quantity below is also upside down, and there are even several circles.If Xiaohu wasn't there, it would be impossible for him to do it himself.

"Hey, I just read a few words roughly, and counted." Xiaohu was a little embarrassed, scratched his hair with one hand, and laughed a few times.

"Me too." Zhang Shu laughed too, but he was better than Xiaohu, he couldn't write articles or anything, at least he knew all the basic characters.

"Then let's start! Melon seeds, two taels a catty, twelve coins..."

Zhang Shu carefully wrote it down in the book. This account book runs from right to left, and each page has twelve vertical columns. Each vertical column is divided into four or five columns, which are items, purchase price, quantity, price, profit, etc.

Now he only needs to write down the three items, the quantity, and the price, and the other two items have to be told to him by the shopkeeper Yan.

In Zhang Shu's eyes, the goods in this grocery store are very expensive. You must know that the price of meat is only fifteen yuan a catty. The melon seeds are not full and have so many shells. All caught up with the price of meat!Sure enough, rich people can afford it!

Xiaohu saw that he wrote down the account neatly, and immediately reported another one, "Jujube, one and a half catties, 37 cash..."

Zhang Shu took notes one by one according to what he said, and couldn't help sighing again, things are so expensive!

When I was about to finish writing down, a woman came over with a paper bag.Xiaohu picked it up and said, "Auntie, the tremella is ninety-two-three dollars in total, how about I make up for you by a catty?" He asked tentatively, and when he got a negative answer, he dragged the abacus with a bitter face, "42 One catty of text, the total is... yes..."

Xiaohu fiddled with the abacus beads on the counter, scratching his head for a while. He hated this kind of buyers who didn't buy the whole thing the most. It took a long time to calculate every time!

"It's 39 coins in total." Zhang Shu reminded in a low voice. Although it's not the whole price, if you do the calculation in your mind, you can get the result, but it's slower than on paper.But this speed is already much faster than Xiaohu dialing the abacus beads.

Xiaohu's eyes lit up, "It's 39 Wen in total. Auntie!"

The aunt hesitated, "I'm going home to find someone else to pay for it. If something goes wrong, I have to come to you!"

"Don't worry, auntie, if there is anything wrong, I will treat the white fungus as my invitation to you today!" Zhang Shu said sincerely, looking at auntie with bright black eyes, full of determination.

"Then I'll trust you once." The aunt untied her purse and paid the bill. The old man who settled the accounts was not there. This young man seemed unreliable, but the young man next to him was fine.

Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's up to you if someone comes later, I just said I can't eat this bowl of rice."

Zhang Shu nodded, wrote down the account first, and then reconciled it with Xiaohu.

Shopkeeper Yan and Hu Da were drinking tea in the small resting room at the back, which was covered by a curtain, and they watched their movements through the crack of the door.

"How is it? I said this person is okay?" Hu Da was a little proud, and he said that he would not be mistaken.

"You still have to look at the account book he wrote down today." Shopkeeper Yan felt a little relieved, but it was related to him after all, and he couldn't feel at ease until he saw the account book.

At lunch time, Zhang Shu and Xiaohu's accounts were also reconciled.Shopkeeper Yan sent his staff to the noodle stall opposite to order a few bowls of shredded pork noodles.After seeing them stop, call them to eat noodles.

Zhang Shu didn't feel very good. They haven't said to recruit him yet, so will they just eat their food?

Shopkeeper Yan felt that even if he didn't know whether it would be successful or not, he had been standing here all morning and helped them settle several accounts.
