Rouge wrong

Chapter 4

Shen Cuo finished his lunch in a leisurely manner, took a nap for half an hour and read a book, then walked slowly to the shop.

Er Ya seemed to have finished memorizing the price, and was wiping the counter on tiptoe when she saw Shen Cuo hurriedly bent over and said, "Hi, shopkeeper Shen..."

"Well..." Shen Cuo nodded, looked around the store, and found that the dusty place before had been wiped clean, "I remember the price? Is there any problem?"

Erya nodded quickly: "I have some doubts."

After getting along for about half a day, she was not as nervous as before, and although her voice was still very soft, it was much smoother.

If there is a problem, it shows that the attitude is serious, and Shen Cuo is very satisfied.

"Well, tell me."

She looked like a shopkeeper, and walked slowly around the shop, while Erya followed her with a low voice.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I see that the price of mung beans is three liters..."

Shen made a wrong "hmm" sound: "And then?"

"I, I was wondering if it was confused with raw beans? I heard from my sister that the price of mung beans is higher than that of polished rice."

Under the gaze of Shen Cuo, Erya finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

Although she couldn't recognize all the names that Shen mistakenly marked, she knew most of the grains. After reading it in the morning, she found that many prices were very different from what her sister told her.

She grew up under the care and education of her elder sister, and she has great trust in her elder sister.

But shopkeeper Shen is the shopkeeper, and she didn't dare to think that the shopkeeper made a mistake, and she didn't have half the confidence in her words.

Shen Cuoyuan wanted to give advice to Xiaodouding by himself, but she was stunned on the spot by what the other party said.

She knows about polished rice and mung beans, but what are the beans?Are mung beans more expensive than polished rice?Is three liters cheap?How much is polished rice?

Shen Cuo's mind was spinning quickly, but he just didn't have the slightest impression of these.

After Erya finished speaking, she anxiously waited for Shen Cuo's reply.But after a while, Shen Cuo still just looked at her steadfastly, without saying a word.

Er Ya felt timid: "Shopkeeper Shen..."

Too shameful!

Shen Cuo really couldn't ask, he cleared his throat and said, "Wait..."

As she spoke, she turned to the counter, rummaged through the drawers for a long time to find the ledger, and flipped through a few pages quickly.

"Mung beans, 630 four stones."

She read it according to the script, but after thinking about it, something was wrong.

How much is a stone?There is a measuring container in the store, and the merchant who supplied it told her that the box is in liters, and the selling prices in the store are all in liters.

She couldn't, so she had to turn a few more pages and found the price of polished rice.

Stone, 570 vi.

What about the beans?

Stone is only 250.

She was already dizzy after reading a few pages, so she beckoned Er Ya to pass.

"Shopkeeper Shen..."

Erya hurriedly stood beside her respectfully, and Shen Cuo threw the ledger in front of her: "I'll test you, how many liters is equal to a stone?"

She is a pampered young master, she had neither access to these things in the past, nor was she interested in them at all.

Even if you do this business now, you have the right to take it as a pastime, how can you remember it in your heart?

Er Ya was suspicious, but she still said honestly: "A stone is ten buckets, a bucket is ten liters, so a stone is a hundred liters."

She said she knew numbers was obviously true.

"Well, not bad..." Shen Cuo did a quick calculation in his mind, this mung bean really shouldn't be three liters, "There are a lot of grains and goods in this store, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, you can use the ledger to check the prices and see what else is there wrong."

Erya was full of embarrassment and embarrassment: "Master Shen, shopkeeper, I can't read all these words..."

This wasn't supposed to be something the shopkeeper should do, but Shen made the mistake of being lazy as the shopkeeper, so the matter naturally fell to the second girl.

"Hmph, trouble."

Of course, Shen Cuo's salary is much higher than that of ordinary guys. If it is placed in a town, it is not difficult to recruit a literate person.

It's really rare to have someone who can read numbers in this poor country, and she couldn't have higher requirements.

"Let me teach you how to read first."

If he wanted to sit back and relax in the future, he had to suffer first and get tired first, so Shen Cuo had to go to the battle in person to teach Erya how to read.

The grocery store may not have a customer all day long, so Shen mistakenly said it was the afternoon.She had neither experience nor patience. She talked about what she thought of, and she wished she could stuff all the names of the products into Erya's stomach.

Although Erya has a good memory, she really couldn't stand Shen Cuo's cramming teaching, she remembered seven out of ten at the beginning, and then gradually lost her memory.

"Do you remember it all?"

Shen Cuo put the pen down, blew on the paper, and was very satisfied with his small script.Although she is most proud of cursive script, she has practiced other fonts as well.

"Well, Shen, Shopkeeper Shen..."

Erya's eyes were filled with stares, she lowered her head and dared not answer.

The shopkeeper was willing to teach her how to read, and Erya was happy and grateful, so she was very ashamed that she couldn't remember her teaching.

"You don't remember anything, do you?" The boss of Shen Cuo was unhappy, and his eyebrows frowned, "Ben... the shopkeeper taught you personally?"

I want her to teach the young master dignifiedly, chat with many contemporary book saints and poets, and learn from each other.

Now that she puts down her figure and teaches a little child how to write, she can't remember it?

Young Master Shen was not angry and pretentious, Erya was glared at by her, and tears welled up in her eyes again: "I, I remembered something..."

"Seven out of ten?"

Shen Cuo embraced a glimmer of hope.

Er Ya shook her head.

"Five or six?"

Shen Cuo retreated to the next best thing.

Erya hesitated for a while, but still shook her head slowly.

"Then how much do you remember?"

Erya stammered and said: ", kind of goods..."

There are fifty or sixty kinds of products in the store, and Shen Cuo wrote all the names of the products to her in the afternoon.

"Isn't this only two out of ten?"

Shen Cuo was very desperate: too stupid, too stupid, even stupider than that big stupid donkey who was doing decent work—no, maybe the big stupid donkey is still stupid, but it is still very stupid.

Erya was even more ashamed: "I'm sorry..."

The gifted young master Shen didn't want to think about it, Erya's foundation is weak, and it's really rare to be able to clearly remember the name of a product after only teaching it.

"Forget it, you go home first."

It was getting late, and Shen Cuo came to eat on time, and would never delay eating due to other things.

"Shopkeeper Shen, can you lend me these?"

What Shen Cuo used was high-quality rice paper and sandalwood ink. Even if Erya didn't understand these, she knew that pens, inks, papers and inkstones were expensive, so she didn't dare to ask her for them, she just asked her to borrow them.

"Why, do you want to see it?"

"I'll try to remember tonight!"

Shen Cuo doesn't like idiots, but she likes people who work hard and make progress. Seeing that Erya is very shameless at such a young age, she is finally a little relieved.

"Forget it at night, I'll give it to you tomorrow, go back."

Erya didn't dare to object, and was about to take off the clothes on her body.

"Don't take it off, I don't want it anymore, you can wear it and go home."

"But……"

This jacket looks very valuable, if she wants to wear it home, nine times out of ten her father will take it and sell it.

"You told your father that these are clothes specially made for work in the store. If he dares to sell them, I will demolish your house."

She is a young lady from a rich family, with a dignified appearance, and she is very refined in her speech and manner, but she is domineering, majestic and natural, not half of the frailty of a boudoir lady, which makes people dare not resist.

"Yes……"

Erya didn't dare to take it off again, bid her farewell and left.

It was still early, and the peasants working in the fields had not yet returned.Erya walked for a while, found a place where no one was around, took off the short jacket on her body, and wrapped it up carefully.

When she came to work, her younger brother, Huzi, was left unattended, so he had to entrust him to Aunt Li's house to work with her grandson.

She came to Li's house with a short jacket on her back, because Second Aunt Li went to cook for Shen Cuo, and only the second aunt's daughter-in-law was taking care of the two children in the yard at the moment.

"Sister Yang, I'm here to pick up my brother."

Li's family has a lot of strong men, all of whom are carpenters, and their second aunt helps out at the grocery store, and their conditions are among the best in the village.

Now only the eldest son of Li's family has married a wife, and they gave birth to a young son in the first year.It's just that this child is weak and sick, and he loves to eat meat and not vegetables since he was a child, so he can't get fat no matter what.

The fortune-teller said that he was the son of a wealthy family and cast the wrong fetus. If he can raise him up, he will surely be glorious and glorious, but if he is not raised well, he will die short-lived.

The Li family was worried every day, but they didn't expect Second Aunt Li to solve the problem after going to the Shen family to help. This grandson Shi Shi grew up very fast, and now he is much stronger than Hu Zi.

Yang's people are shrewd, although they are not bad-minded, they are more scheming, seeing that the sky is getting late, and Erya still hasn't come to pick up Huzi, he is afraid that he will stay for dinner at night.

A few sweet potatoes and miscellaneous porridge are given, but the family members are reluctant to eat the good things brought back by the mother-in-law. I am afraid that I will have to share them - I ate a lot here at noon.

"Erya, you are here." Yang put down the half-made chicken coop and opened the fence to welcome Erya in. "The tiger is playing with the stone."

Two five or six-year-old children were playing in the vegetable field, but the stones were indeed playing with mud, while the tiger was picking weeds.There are piles of weeds neatly placed at his feet, his little hands are black and his head is sweating profusely.

Embarrassed, Yang cleared her throat and said, "Huzi, your sister is here."

Huzi turned his head, his big eyes glowed brightly: "Sister!"

Erya didn't say anything, thanked Mrs. Yang, and then took Huzi home.

"Sister, I ate meat at Shitou's house today. It's delicious. I really want my sister to try it too."

Erya knew that Second Aunt Li should have brought it back, and was very grateful to her.

"It's okay, my sister has eaten it too."

"Really? Great!"

Huzi is young, it is really commendable that he can still think about his sister when he eats good food.

"Well, shopkeeper Shen is very nice. When my sister sends you the monthly money, I will buy you candy."

"sugar!"

Huzi didn't forget the big box of pastries that his sister brought back. Although most of them were snatched by his stepmother, his sister secretly hid some for him before, and he still can't forget the taste.

"But will mother..."

But he is not a carefree child, the siblings don't even have a place to sleep, how could the stepmother let Erya keep the monthly money?

"It's okay, my sister will find a way."
