The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran looked at the box of account books with some headaches.It was only the first day of the new year, and he already had a premonition of the busy daily life ahead.

He turned his head, ready to be out of sight and out of mind.It's only the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's impossible for him to work.He will have a good rest today.

Tao Anran was just about to have a sip of tea when she heard Hanlu outside the door saying: "Princess, Doctor Qu is here."

Tao Anran quickly put down the teacup, and said, "Quickly invite Doctor Qu to come in."

Qu Zhishui also wore new clothes today, but the color of his clothes was a little darker, and his face looked whiter.And he didn't come alone, there was a little tail behind him.

Angelica with a small tail, dressed in red, coupled with a chubby red face, looks festive, just like a Fuwa.People want to pinch his face just looking at it.

As soon as Qu Zhishui entered the room, he cupped his hands and saluted and said, "Princess, the new year is auspicious. I wish you good luck and peace in the new year and all the best!"

Dang Gui also followed behind and said, "I wish the princess a happy and prosperous New Year!"

Tao Anran also smiled and replied: "I also wish you peace and good luck, and your medical skills will reach a higher level. And Angelica, stay healthy and make progress in your studies."

Tao Anran asked them to sit down, and then pushed the cakes and fried fruits in front of Danggui, "Danggui, are you hungry, have some snacks."

Danggui replied in a nonchalant voice: "Thank you, Princess."

After speaking, Danggui looked at Qu Zhishui first, and waited for him to nod before picking up a piece of dessert and eating it.

Tao Anran watched the children eat snacks, and then asked Doctor Qu with a smile: "Who made the clothes for Angelica? This is too festive!"

Holding a cup of hot tea, Qu Zhishui also smiled and replied: "It's all the idea of ​​the embroiderer in the mansion. He is nine years old after the new year, and he is a little adult. There is not much time to dress up like this in the future." ."

Tao Anran laughed out loud, "Children want to dress up like this. Angelica looks like a Fuwa, how cute!"

Qu Zhishui also smiled and said: "Yes, children are only cute when they are young, and they are not cute when they grow up. It seems that the princess also likes children."

Tao Anran replied solemnly: "Children also have to be separated. I like well-behaved and cute children, such as Angelica. I don't like the kind of brat who people hate dogs."

Hearing the whole process from the side, Angelica blushed even more.Seeing this, Tao Anran smiled again.

Afterwards, Tao Anran and Qu Zhishui chatted and chatted, ate snacks and drank tea, and the time passed like this.

And then the first day of the new year passed so uneventfully.

In the second year of junior high school, Tao Anran finally calmed down, picked up an account book and started looking through it.But after getting used to his simple account books, he frowned when he looked at these again.

Therefore, Tao Anran decided to do a big project, which was to transcribe and simplify all these account books.All follow his debit and credit bookkeeping method, which will make the follow-up much easier.

For such a big project, it would obviously take a lot of time for him alone.So his eyes turned to Bai Lu and Han Lu beside him.

Facts have proved that Bailu and Hanlu are almost omnipotent.They were also there when he taught Qian Mancang the debit and credit bookkeeping method.Although they know a little bit, they are not as skilled as they have been in business for many years.

This time, Tao Anran focused on teaching them again based on their foundation.Both of them are smart people. After a few times, simply transcribing the books is not a problem.In this way, Tao Anran's workload was greatly reduced.

But no matter how lightened it was, box after box of account books still had to be looked at.He started from the second day of the Lunar New Year and was busy until the Lantern Festival before finally finishing all the arrangements.On the day of the Lantern Festival, I heard that there was a lantern festival in the city, but Tao Anran was too tired to go out, and even went to bed early at night.

After the Lantern Festival, it is the New Year.It's spring again, and everything is going to be busy.Especially in spring plowing, there is no room for loss.Steward Li even reminded him earlier that the fields outside the city had to be cultivated by tenants.

Tao Anran was still looking through the field's account books from previous years to see what had been planted before.Then I heard Bai Lu come in from the door and say, "Princess, Qian Mancang is here to ask for an audience."

Money is full!His purse is back.Tao Anran quickly said, "Let him in quickly."

Qian Mancang was still as plump and mellow as ever. When he saw the princess, he saluted and greeted: "See the princess. The princess has auspicious new year."

Tao Anran thought of something when he heard this, and he said: "Qian Mancang, it's been fifteen years before you came to pay New Year's greetings. I heard the prince said that you will come back on New Year's Day, why are you so late?"

Qian Mancang smiled and apologized: "Princess forgive me, the villain also wants to come back soon. The business this year is really good. People are flocking to those fine salt and sugar. I want to do more business. Come back late."

Glancing at Wang Hao's face, Qian Mancang continued: "Wang Hao told me about the things she was looking for, and the caravan was looking for them while selling items, but they found two things, very similar to what Wang Hao said."

Tao Anran's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you find? What did it look like? Did you bring it back?"

Seeing the anxious look of the princess, Qian Mancang didn't dare to let it go, and quickly took out a package he was carrying and put it on the table.Before he could open it, Wang Hao hurriedly opened it first.

Tao Anran opened the package and saw two things inside.The same is a bundle of beautifully wrapped cotton, and the same is a bumpy egg that is about the size of an egg and still stained with dirt.He scratched it open with his fingernail to confirm that it was a potato.

After getting these two things, Tao Anran was overjoyed.With cotton, there is quite a padded jacket, and he will no longer be afraid of the cold in winter.When there are potatoes, there is food.In addition to being a staple food, it can also add more dishes to the table.Tao Anran began to miss hot and sour potato shreds, griddle potato chips, French fries, potato flour...

But looking at the cotton and potatoes in the package, Tao Anran was obviously not satisfied.He hurriedly asked: "Where did you get these? Is there only a little? Is there no extra? Didn't I say that if you encounter it, as much as possible?"

Qian Mancang looked at the package and asked, "Looks like this baizizi and soil eggs are what the princess is looking for. I saw this baizizi in the garden of a merchant's house in the south. The merchant likes to grow some flowers and plants." , There are many kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the garden.

The caravan happened to have some goods with his family, and the villain was invited to the banquet.The banquet was placed in the garden, and the villain saw the flower at a glance.According to the merchant's introduction, this is a rare flower named Baidiezi bought from a Fanbang merchant.It's just that the merchants are just looking at the colors of white dippers for curiosity, so they don't plant many.These are all that the villain has the audacity to come. "

After hearing this, Tao Anran corrected: "This is not white dipper, this is cotton. It is not an ornamental flower, this is cotton thread that can be spun to make clothes."

Regardless of Qian Mancang's surprised expression, Tao Anran continued to ask: "Where are these potatoes, there are only a few of them!"

Qian Mancang realized that the princess was talking about soil eggs, and he quickly replied: "There are more than these potatoes. It's just that the remaining potatoes are not much bigger than stones, and some have sprouted. So I just picked these Bring the bigger potatoes."

Tao Anran hurriedly asked: "You brought those back, too. They will all be sent to my courtyard later."

Qian Mancang hesitated and said, "Princess, what are these potatoes for?"

Tao Anran replied casually: "Of course it's for food!"

Qian Mancang was shocked, and quickly said: "Princess, absolutely not, these potatoes are poisonous, and you will die if you eat them."

Tao Anran was full of suspicion, when will eating potatoes be poisoned to death?

Seeing the princess's disbelief, Qian Mancang quickly explained: "Princess, we found these potatoes in a small village by the sea. At that time, there was no harvest in the village there, so someone boiled potatoes and ate them, and then fell into a coma and foamed at the mouth. , and finally died of poison. We saw it with our own eyes. And even if we exchanged a basket of potatoes, we only used ten catties of grain to exchange it."

Tao Anran said with some doubts: "You saw someone else eating potatoes poisoned to death. Did you notice that the potatoes that person ate were sprouts?"

Qian Mancang was at a loss, "Huh? Is there any difference between sprouted potatoes and non-germinated potatoes?"

Tao Anran picked up a potato and said: "Simply put, germinated potatoes are poisonous. People usually have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting after eating them. In severe cases, they will faint or even die. Potatoes that do not germinate are poisonous. Then there is a delicious taste. Depending on how it is cooked, you can taste various textures."

Qian Mancang still couldn't believe it, "Is it true?"

Tao Anran said directly: "You will know these after you have eaten them once. Now I will save these as seeds. You remember to send over the others as soon as possible. It's just spring plowing, so you can get a piece of land to plant."

Qian Mancang was skeptical, but judging by the seriousness of the princess, it was probably true.He nodded quickly, thinking that when he got back, he would send the rest of the potatoes over.He was also glad that the sprouted potatoes he saw before were not thrown away.

After coming for so long, Qian Mancang suddenly realized that he hadn't talked about anything serious yet.He quickly took out an account book from his pocket and handed it to the table. "Princess, this is the account book for the distribution of salt and sugar. Please take a look. This time there is a lot of money, so it is not convenient to carry it with you. I will send it over later."

When it comes to money, Tao Anran is happy.He looked through the account books and was very satisfied with this transaction.Even his share is so much, it seems that the business is really good these days!

Talking about business, Tao Anran remembered his thoughts interrupted by cotton and potatoes.He looked at Qian Mancang and asked seriously: "Qian Mancang, if you sell wine, you should be able to make a lot of money!"

Qian Mancang: Yes! ?
