Chapter 150 Another Money Is in the Account

Shopkeeper Tian got all dressed, came out of his home, got into the car and called the groom to drive to Tairen's pharmacy.

After about three or four streets, they arrived. The groom parked the car at the entrance of the alley next to the shop, "Shopkeeper, we are here."

Shopkeeper Tian replied inside, waited for the driver to put up the curtain, got out of the car and said, "It's done, you can go back, come and pick me up when the time comes."

The groom agreed, and drove away after talking. Shopkeeper Tian turned around and looked at Tairen Pharmacy, thinking about it, and walked inside with a smile.

Master Li hurried out to tell the buddy something, and when he looked at shopkeeper Tian, ​​he walked to the backyard with him, laughing.

"Hey, shopkeeper, you're here, and you're here again in a newly bought carriage?"

"Hehe, Mr. Tian is a scholar, and his feet are too strong, so he has to do this. Master Li, you came early too."

"Hey, shopkeeper, you are really good at joking, you don't know, in our place, only you, the shopkeeper, bought a carriage and hired a groom to go to and from work by yourself. "

"Master Li is exaggerating. How much money does it cost to buy a carriage now?"

"Hey, shopkeeper, you clearly know that's not what I meant..."

Shopkeeper Tian stepped across the yard and interrupted him, not wanting him to continue, "Master Li, do you often go to see the work in the field?"

Master Li said, "Hey, there are some. Don't worry, the shopkeeper. I called my relatives in the country to watch the work in the field. They are all good farmers. They hang on the ground all day long." , watching the guys dig the soil and fertilize and do something."

Shopkeeper Tian nodded, suddenly thinking about something, "Master Li, in these two days, will the little lady from Xiayang Village come again?"

Master Li pondered for a while, and said, "There is no shopkeeper. I haven't seen her since last month, that is, the time you called her to the second floor to talk."

Shopkeeper Tian listened, but didn't respond. He just called Master Li to get busy, and went up to the second floor by himself. That paving workshop is willing to suffer from being dumb.

Or, as she said, she was waiting for him to give her the land deed in the village. Could it be that this little woman is really so calm?
Shopkeeper Tian walked to the second floor thinking alone, and returned to his room. The old Wu was doing accounts in the next room, so he looked up at Shopkeeper Tian, ​​and he had to say hello according to the usual practice.

There was a small stove in Lao Wu's room, which was used to boil water all the time. He watched the water boil, and went there with a copper pot.

"You're here, shopkeeper." He said, pouring hot water into shopkeeper Tian's teapot.

Shopkeeper Tian responded, looked at him and said with a smile, "Old Wu, how about moving upstairs?"

Old Wu smiled, "Okay, I'd like to thank the shopkeeper, it's not bad to be alone upstairs and not have to squeeze with the little bastards below."

Shopkeeper Tian nodded with a smile. Half a month ago, he called his assistant to vacate a room on the second floor, and let accountant Lao Wu come to work here. In fact, it was for the convenience of him being on call. It's easy for the two to reconcile accounts. After all, from now on, the business in the shop will improve.

He took the water that Old Wu poured, took a sip and asked, "Old Wu, I asked you to do the calculation yesterday, and see how many orders we received last month?"

Old Wu put the copper pot on the ground and said, "Shopkeeper, do you want to ask the ones in Waizhuang, or the ones in our town?"

Shopkeeper Tian said, "Tairen Pharmacy."

Old Wu asked again, "Shopkeeper, do you want to ask about the ready-made medicines ordered by those big households here, or the dried herbs ordered by those small pharmacies around here?"

Shopkeeper Tian said, "Dried herbs... Erbao vine."

Old Wu said, "Shopkeeper, there are eight drugstores in Qianjie Street, big and small, and six of them have ordered herbs here. They all paid a deposit of 50 taels. Baoteng has come down, and they will take as much as they want, and then deduct 50 taels from the silver."

Shopkeeper Tian nodded and smiled, "Old Wu, how about the medicine shops in our Waizhuang."

Old Wu said, "It's similar to the situation here. The clerks there went around and collected a lot of deposits. Two days ago, the shopkeeper of Waizhuang deposited the money in the bank, and sent clerks to keep the account books. And the list is brought over."

Shopkeeper Tian rested his hand on the desk and knocked a few times, thinking about it in his heart, the smile in his eyes grew even bigger.

"Old Wu, if this goes on like this, if the first stubble of this Erbao vine is spent, we will have to make a lot of money."

Old Wu also smiled when he heard that, "Hehe, it seems that the shopkeeper is in a good mood today."

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, stepped back, and took out an envelope from the drawer. He opened it, took out the paper inside, looked at it, and then handed it to Old Wu.

"Old Wu, if the little woman from Xiayang Village comes over in two days, you can give her this and send her away."

Old Wu looked at it, "The shopkeeper, what is this?"

Shopkeeper Tian told Lao Wu about Xiu Niang's planting prescription for Erbao vines and the need to change the shop, and he finished talking.

"There is a lease in it. I thought about it yesterday. We are doing big business. Can't others say that we are rich and unkind, and cheat people's hometown peddlers?"

Old Wu pondered for a while, "Shopkeeper, I heard that woman said before that what they want is the land deed."

Shopkeeper Tian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then this little woman is talking blunt nonsense. She will come back to me after a while, and you will go down later and exchange this little woman with Erbao Vine for us." Calculate how much money you paid, and then add it to the rent, almost charge her a year's rent, and when we get back the money, you will transfer this shop to her, and you will be charged as much as you want."

Old Wu paused and frowned, "Shopkeeper, I don't want this old man with money, it's just that you plan on that woman, if she knows..."

Shopkeeper Tian smiled and asked, "What can she do if she finds out?"

Old Wu shook his head, "I don't know about this old man, but I just thought that if she can give us the method of raising Erbao vine, then she can give the method to others."

Shopkeeper Tian said, "Don't worry, old Wu, if this little woman is really capable, she should accept this lease that day, and then worry about the rest, but you also saw that she turned her head away with a stubborn temper. , and then never came again, isn't there nothing she can do like this."

After hearing this, Old Wu still shook his head, looked at shopkeeper Tian but didn't speak.

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, "Okay, old Wu, you are ready to take the silver from that little woman, okay, go down, I will go to the field after a while, this second treasure The stubble of the vine is about to fall..."

----------

Mrs. Liu put the laundry tub by her feet, sat under a tree stump by the side of the dry pond, chattering with several mothers-in-law and aunts with a smile.

"Hey, Ji's sister-in-law, you are right, this man doesn't know our difficulties at all."

"I said it's from the old Yang's family. I'll just say it casually. Why did you pick it up?"

"From the old sixth family, don't talk about Yang's sister-in-law. I have been busy at home for a whole day, and that dead ghost of my family doesn't know how to help when he comes back. He will sleep at the end and eat at the end."

"That's right, old lady, there are three or four children in my family, and the younger one is still breastfeeding. I can't finish my work all day long."

"Hey, old ladies, what are you talking about? Whose family didn't bring up three or two dolls together? I just said that. When the two of you quarrel, don't complain. On my head."

"Hey, I'm talking about the old Liu's family. Those dolls of yours have grown up and can help, so they're just making sarcastic remarks here."

"That's right, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the clothes of the children, oh, those little devils, I just washed a basin, I went home and looked, yes, there is another pile of clothes in the corner of the room." There are a lot of them."

"Hey, sister of the Yang family, your house is closer to the creek, but my family lives in the east of the village. After washing the clothes, the wooden basin can't even be carried."

Liu Shi listened to what the surrounding women said, and she chuckled, "Oh, I've been talking about it for a long time, so you guys are bothering about this."

As soon as she said that, those mothers-in-law and aunts became furious, talking one after another, Han's back was sore from washing, Han's arm was pulled by the laundry stick, and Han didn't want to do anything else after washing the clothes live...

Mrs. Liu looked at them one by one, and she was very happy, "Hey, old ladies, I don't have a headache to wash clothes now. I even threw the washing stick into the stove and burned it."

"Hey, from the old Liu's family, what are you doing to wash your clothes, why don't you call the big girls to wash them desperately?"

Ms. Liu leaned over while talking, and took out a board with grooves from her laundry tub.

"What, I am now, but this... How about it, have you seen it?"

The women looked at each other one by one, "what's the matter, sister-in-law of the Ji family, are you swinging this thing, thinking about smashing clothes?"

Mrs. Liu gave them a look, talking about putting the washing board into the wooden basin, putting one end on the side of the wooden basin, pulling a piece of clothing and putting it on the washing board.

"What, everyone has never seen the market... look, this board is so good, put the clothes on it... oh, just rub it back and forth, and everything dirty on the clothes comes out with water .”

"Really, from the Sixth Family?"

"Oh my good sixth sister-in-law, you wash so many clothes, but I just finished looking at you for a while."

"That's right, is the board I'm talking about good?"

"Oh, really, there is a board that works. The one from the old Liu family, where you got it, but is it in the town?"

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, don't say I didn't inform you, this board was bought by my family's Lao Liu in the town. He will go to town tomorrow, and he will bring it for Chu Ge's family... "

Before she could finish her sentence, all the mothers-in-law around shouted, shouting for Ji Lao Liu to help bring it too.

Mrs. Liu responded one by one, feeling happy in her heart, well, another money has been credited to the account...
