Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yanxin said that Xu's family is a bottomless pit. Xu Lao Wu has been subsidizing them heartily for several years and has not fed them well. I can't help but wish others would forget the fact that there is still a fifth child in their family.

Xu Laowu's money is still taken, but as for Xu Laowu's people, they naturally hide as far away as possible.

The family has their own thoughts, Xu's father and Xu's mother prefer the fourth son who can read and talk sweetly, and desperately squeeze the other brothers to support the fourth son's education.

If it wasn't for the fact that the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a decent set of clothes, no matter how thoughtful they were, they wouldn't be able to compete for the family property, and I don't know what the brothers would do in private.

Shi Yan knew in his heart that if Mrs. Miao's ten taels of silver were taken back to Xu's family, that family would definitely be disturbed.

But the most disturbing thing right now is Mrs. Miao. They went home and unloaded the things on the car, and then a half-grown child in the alley came to pass the message for Xu's parents.

It's a good time for half-aged children to learn how adults speak. As long as they can write down almost verbatim what they said, their mouths will be crunchy like chewing peas: "Grandma Xu's Said, if I, Uncle Xu, can't wait until next year to hug the fat boy.

The child born last night can also be Uncle Xu's son, and there will be time for Uncle Xu to be born again in the future. If Uncle Xu thinks it through, he will go home and discuss it with the whole family. "

After finishing speaking without moving his feet, Shi Yan stuffed a handful of candies before happily running away.

As soon as he turned his head, he found that Mrs. Miao's face was blue with anger, and she observed his reaction with cautious, self-confident eyes.

After dawdling for a long time, he asked Shi Yan tentatively: "Old Wu, why don't you go home and see what your family's plans are?"

If he really intends to adopt a son, it means that he has no intention of continuing to marry, which is a good thing for the Miao family.

Shi Yan snorted lightly, and said with unclear meaning: "I can't make any plans. If I want a son, it's not like I can't bear it myself."

One sentence confuses the old lady. There is no specific regulation on whether to give birth or not.

Turning around, she said to Aunt Liu: "Go outside to inquire. Who wouldn't say that the fifth child is filial, and that I am blessed? The family seems to be in trouble, and the hard life has not passed a day. In a blink of an eye, the fifth child will support the family business. Woke up.

She treats my mother-in-law as well as my own mother-in-law, and trusts my old woman to manage all the money.

Actually?I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but I can't see the way forward!The heart never puts it in the ground and lives steadily.This son-in-law looks good everywhere now, but he just can't make people get close.

If one day I close my eyes and can't wake up, I won't be ashamed to see my old man, and I don't know how to explain to him when I get there! "

Second Aunt Liu said in her heart: I understand it. With your temperament, you have to hang you with this carrot, so that you can honestly run along the line drawn for you. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. !

What the boss did couldn't be more right!

"Isn't that right, wouldn't it be clear if you checked it from the beginning?" Shi Yan didn't intend to pay attention to Xu's father and Xu's mother's whimsy at all, no matter how many schemes they had, as long as he was unwilling, it would be impossible for him to succeed.Holding the ledger left by Master Miao, Shi Yan planned to reorganize the previous ledger.

The reason is very simple, those cronies I made before sent a letter to Shi Yan today, saying that they met Yao Shi at the gate of the city.

This Yao Shi was one of the shopkeepers who ran away with money before. He was mainly responsible for managing the business of the rice noodle shop and won the trust of Miao Fenghua.

Shi Yan didn't expect that he would dare to come back, but no matter what his purpose of coming back, Shi Yan didn't intend to let this person go.

After flipping through it, I found that there were too many problems on the books, and the fraud was very careless, and the crux of the matter could be seen at a glance, and the bookmakers often filled their own pockets.

Although the amount involved is not large, no one can take advantage of Shi Yan when he doesn't want to, no one else!

Coincidentally, Shi Yan hadn't looked for him yet, but he took the initiative to come to the door, swaggered, held a folding fan, and walked slowly into Shi Yan's rice noodle shop with exaggerated splayed steps.

After entering the store, he looked around, sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned, sometimes curled his lips, and sometimes sighed, looking contemptuous and obliged to look at it, the uninformed person saw it, and thought that his eldest daughter and the old man of the rice noodle shop were on good terms So much so that he has misery to speak of!

After pretending for a long time, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he put away the folding fan with a slap, coughed dryly, and asked with his hands behind his back, "Is the shopkeeper here?"

What should everyone in the store do, no one cares.

Then he repeated uncomfortably: "Is the shopkeeper here?"

When the rice noodles are on the table, the guest has no other thoughts. He is engrossed in eating hard and has no other thoughts. Who has time to talk to him?

The man had no choice but to raise his voice: "Where is the shopkeeper? I'm Yao Shi, this time I'm here..."

Before he finished speaking, something flew in front of him, slammed on his shiny forehead, and then landed with a thud. Before the man could react, he heard the impatient tone of the guest on the table in front of him. road:

"It's okay, don't you know how to walk two steps by yourself? Standing there to block the young master from the sun!"

The one who can speak like this is Mr. Liu from the county magistrate's family. Recently, he has become obsessed with basking in the sun while making fans. After a long time, everyone will naturally leave him the best place to bask in the sun.

Yao Shi was displeased, but he still had the eyesight he should have. Although the person who did it was greasy, even the front of his clothes was stained, which was very unsightly.

But the shoes on his feet had dark patterns outlined by golden silk thread under the sunlight, and the clothes were rippling like water, smooth and dazzling, and the jade pendant on the hem of the clothes at his waist was the size of a thumb, but it was a rare suet white jade.

This outfit costs hundreds of taels of silver at least, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

So he adjusted his facial expression, put on a smile, moved two steps, bowed his hands and saluted, after apologizing to the person, he tried to chat a few words. It is more valuable to have a relationship with this person today than to trouble Shiyan.

As a result, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the person who talked about rice noodles was basking in the warm sun, immersed in the taste of happiness, and had no time to talk to him at all.

Yao Shi was embarrassed with a hint of embarrassment, and later realized that he was the only one standing and talking in the whole store, and the rest were buried in their jobs, and they really had no interest in talking to others.

Yao Shixin said: "It's like being bewitched by making rice noodles, even the soul is flying away, it's really evil!"It seems that the fact that this rice noodle shop can make money is true!

No one knows better than me how the recipes left by the Miao family are. The taste is indeed good, but definitely not to this level!It's strange that there is no tricky food in it, and there is no dirty thing that makes people addicted and can't get rid of it!

This is a taboo in the catering industry!Shame on people!

Thinking in this way, Yao Shi consciously took Shi Yan's handle, smiled confidently, and didn't dislike seeing that there was no room for him to sit, stood still against the door frame, and said to Uncle Liu who was quietly serving rice noodles: "I call you If the shopkeeper comes out, all you need to do is tell him that I am Yao Shi, and I came here to settle the account today."

As soon as the name is mentioned, everyone present will know who it is. Even the hooligans on the street know that the three shopkeepers of the Miao family ran away with money. Put the Miao family in your eyes.

But yes, the Miao family at that time was all supported by Miao Fenghua who was lying on the hospital bed, and Miao Fenghua was not very shrewd in business, so it was not strange to be deceived by the people under his hands.

Besides, everyone knew about Yao Shi's running away with money, but the Miao family couldn't produce any evidence, so they could only smash their teeth and swallow their blood, feeling unspeakably aggrieved.

Both sides understand this, so when facing Shi Yan, Yao Shi said very hard: "I know what you added to the soup, if you don't want to be a street mouse, obediently pay the money you owed to the supplier. Pay it back, this matter is over, and from now on, we will not violate the water of the river."

After all, as if he was worried that Shi Yan would not understand, he added with a sense of satisfaction: "You probably don't understand, since your wife Miao Fenghua took charge of the Miao family, the supplier of [-]% of the goods has become Yao Miao.

And Yao Miao is my cousin, and today I am going to work hard for my cousin, I hope Boss Xu can make it easier! "

Shi Yan didn't even bother to say that Miao Fenghua did this matter, not only that the supplier was Yao Shi's cousin, the manager of the grocery store and Yao Shi were cousins, and the manager of the incense and candle shop was from the same village as the manager of the grocery store.

Since these two storekeepers were replaced one by one under Yao Shi's recommendation, the craftsmen of the incense candle shop were driven away, and the incense candles supplied by Yao Shi's cousin were replaced. Became a grocery store supplier.

One ring after another, it is wonderful.

Miao Fenghua, the owner, is like a toolman. The profit of the shop is declining. She only thinks that it is because she has no time to take care of the business during her illness. She has great trust in the shopkeepers.

And according to Shi Yan's guess, Miao Fenghua didn't know the relationship between these four people at all.

Shi Yan nodded very receptively: "You can bring in your cousin Yao Miao, your cousin Wen Guang, and your cousin's fellow villager Yuan Boxuan to share the Miao family's pie. It is your ability, Feng Hua Planted in your hands, because she is not good at learning, she can't blame others.

But Mr. Xu didn't quite understand what you said about repaying the supplier's debt.

If Xu remembers correctly, Yao Miao brought someone to collect the debt that day, and his mother-in-law handed over all the jewelry at the bottom of the box to Yao Miao at a discounted price. "

Shi Yan stood beside Yao Shi, cast a sideways glance, and said with a half-smile: "Enough is enough!"

Yao Shi nonchalantly took out a receipt from his sleeve and put it in front of Shi Yan's eyes, with a smug voice: "I admit, of course I admit to things written in black and white, look at this receipt, is it written by your wife Feng Hua? ?

The money owed to the supplier at the beginning was 850 taels, and the change was wiped out for you, so it was 850 taels.And your old lady's jewelry at the bottom of the box was sold to my cousin Yao Miao at a discount of 200 taels.

I still owe 650 taels of silver. Because of the accident in your family, I have extended it for half a year because of my past friendship. "

As he said that, he looked back at the customers in the store, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Boss Xu is making a lot of money every day, so you don't think you care about our little money, do you?"

It was only a few days ago that the accounts were settled, and the Miao family's business has shrunk significantly in the hands of Miao Fenghua. In the first quarter, they can owe the supplier 300 taels of silver. Most of the old lady's jewelry is for dowry, and a small part is for Mr. Miao. The later additions, calculated seriously, are also a small 1000 taels.

That's it, I'm still not satisfied, trying to get one last slap from Shi Yan.

Insatiable!

Shi Yan didn't look annoyed, and told Uncle Liu with a smile: "First move out the table I prepared this morning, and put it by the door!

Then I will bring out the tea leaves that I roasted myself and serve them to everyone present.

Finally, take out the box that I asked you to bring out, and let's face to face, and settle the accounts one by one!I would like to invite all of you present to bear witness to me! "

Uncle Liu didn't know what the host's purpose was, but seeing that Shi Yan could still talk to Yao Shi with a smile, he did so with confidence.

When the others heard it, Yanrang became interested in being a witness, especially Mr. Liu, who was in the state of a sage, motionless, and there was finally something that could attract his attention, so he was naturally happy to participate.

Then he took it all in: "But after inquiring in the whole Bai'an County, there is no one who is more fair than this young master. What is there to say on the table with confidence, this young master will definitely convince both parties!"

At this time, Yao Shi also knew the identity of Mr. Liu from other people, so he made friends with him naturally, thinking that there was no problem with the accounts and receipts, and he was very clean.So he complimented Mr. Liu very calmly, and let Shi Yan do whatever he wanted.

In this case, Shi Yan is not polite.

When everything was ready, I took out an abacus donated by the owner of the pawnshop across the street. When the beads of the abacus collided with each other, I took out a five-finger-thick account book from the box on the table.

"Ignoring the other two shops, these are the accounts of my Miao family's rice noodle shop for the past three years. Every stroke is written by Boss Yao himself. Boss Yao, look, but that's the case?"

Naturally, Yao Shi roughly flipped it in his hand, and he felt at ease. He knew exactly where the account book was faked, and where there was a discrepancy. .

How much profit he got from it, presumably only he himself knows!

So he pushed it to Shi Yan very reassuringly: "Since Boss Xu wants to count over there, let's do it. I, Yao, can do well and sit upright, so I'm not afraid to check! Let everyone know how Yao is!"

Shi Yan lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, and smiled meaningfully at Yao Shi. The abacus beads began to crackle in everyone's ears. There was no problem at first, and Yao Shi was still at the side to cooperate with Shi Yan to pay the bill and nodded to express his approval.

Others only felt that Shi Yan had changed so much in the past few months that it was too dizzying. Not only did he study, but he was also so proficient in things such as arranging and accounting, which he had to admire!

In the end, it sounded wrong, and I only heard what Shi Yan said: "Three years ago, in late July, the daily expenditure on firewood, rice, oil and salt alone was [-] Wen, which shows that the business is booming.

But I went to the shop next door and opposite to verify it. At that time, the old lady in Beijing passed away, and all banquets were prohibited. There was almost no business in our entire street, so this account is wrong. "

"In mid-September of the same year, due to the hot weather and the sluggish business, the damage to the daily backlog of rice noodles was about half a tael, for ten consecutive days. But I looked through the local chronicles, and in September of that year, the Wang family set up a chastity memorial archway in the city.

At that time, the weather was cool, and in order to celebrate the completion of the Chastity Archway, the Wang family invited the gentry from several nearby counties to have a drink, which in turn boosted the business of the whole street.

"Well, before the New Year's Eve, the business will definitely be much better. The price of all items will increase, and the cost of rice noodles will increase by [-]%.

Why did you come to the front, as if you forgot what happened before, and bought another batch at a high price? "

"Oh, here it is said that I paid 18 taels of silver for the seasoning of Boss Zhou's house. I happened to know Boss Zhou well and asked him to check the account. At that time, you only gave him six taels of money, and their things It's worth six taels of money, as for other money, please boss Yao to give me an explanation..."

"By the way, in view of your bad credit, I asked Boss Zhou to carefully check your consumption with him in the past three years. The total is 320 yuan, but you have withdrawn it on the account. Thousands of 120, three, two, five, I'm really curious where the rest of the money went!"

"Let's not talk about the fact that each bundle of firewood is two copper coins more expensive than other people's on your shopkeeper Yao's account, let's talk about the big picture, there are eight or nine months every year.

You always order a lot of rice noodle materials three days in advance, and you can’t sell them for various reasons, which leads to waste. As the shopkeeper, you are like a fool who doesn’t know how to adapt to the current situation!

The problem here is more troublesome, so you have to calculate it carefully..."

"Oh, and..."

"And here..."

When Shi Yan picked out the first problem, everyone didn't show it on the surface, but they understood in their hearts. They were surrounded by businessmen, and their own family members knew their own affairs. The eye will pass, and the water will be clear and there will be no fish.

But as more faults were picked out, everyone's eyes on Yao Shi became more complicated. This is not as simple as taking advantage of it, it is completely moving the master's house to the emptiness!

It has risen to the height of character and professional ethics!

They all made up their minds to stay away from this person in the future, so as not to be missed, that is really a meat bun beating a dog and never returning!

In addition, it is the admiration for Shi Yan: "The thought is meticulous, it takes a lot of effort just to read the local chronicles, and it takes a lot of effort to compare with the books of the surrounding shops.

Careful, patient, cautious, intelligent, all are indispensable. "

"What a character, better than Lao Miao, this son-in-law really made money!"

"If Lao Miao can think about it, he directly handed over the business to Brother Xu. Now the Miao family can't tell what the situation is!"

Yao Shi listened to the voices of these people's arguments, his head was dazed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his legs were weak, and he was lying on the ground unable to get up.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu motioned to the young servant waiting outside to help him up, pour a ladle of cold water down, and wake up if he doesn't wake up!

In a daze, he saw Shi Yan put a piece of paper full of words in front of his eyes, and Shi Yan's annoying voice filled his ears: "In this way, the debt owed by our family to your cousin will be offset." 650 taels, your boss Yao still needs to return 860 taels to my Miao family.

For the sake of our friendship in the past, I will give you a small change, and I will pay you back 860 taels!

Do you think it is a bank note directly?Or go to the bank to get money?I can wait.

Besides, Mr. Liu is here, so I'm not worried about you running away again. Seeing from the friendship between Mr. Liu and me, the county government prison has always reserved a place for you!

Shopkeeper Yao is a smart man, so he knows how to choose! "

Originally, he was well prepared and inquired about everything to ask for money, but Shi Yan took advantage of him and wanted to go back for 2000 taels. Yao Shi couldn't bear the stimulation and fainted again.

Shi Yan tsk-tsk: "With this quality, you dare to come out to extort money, is there no threshold for liars to enter the industry?

This is your account, your cousin's, your cousin's, and your cousin's from the same village have not been counted yet, so let's give you a few days to wait until you get over it! "

The corner of Mr. Liu's mouth twitched, thinking that this liar is already one of the top talents in the industry!Be careful when making fake accounts!It's not that one's own side is too incompetent, it's that the enemy's side is too tricky!

For twenty pennies, check out the weather conditions during that time three years ago.

From local chronicles, poems written by local scholars, words left by literati on the temple walls at that time, mourning poems written by parents and officials to local squires, and details from the dictation of elderly people, I tried everything I could. All opponents must collapse.

Talent, really talent!
