Chapter 514 People coming from the capital (two chapters in one chapter)
Author: Diary of a Home Girl
The reason why I have to check accounts with my uncle every day is because I can't believe it.
But she didn't want to offend her aunt, and wanted to take care of her uncle.
Mrs. Cui can't come here every day. It's Mr. Cui who decides what to buy and sell here.
It can be seen from Cui Langzhong's past behavior that he is a doctor who looks careless on the surface, but is actually very kind-hearted.
"Uncle, if you pay too much when you receive the goods, you can't keep the goods low." Yan Yu quickly settled yesterday's accounts, and then pointed them out to him one by one: "You have to set aside profits.
This place was not given to my aunt for free. Our family also paid for it, as well as the laborers who built the shed. They burned charcoal every day. Even if you want to drink water, you have to go to the river to get ice to boil it... You all have to
Count it inside!
Therefore, no matter you sell it to me or to anyone else, you have to add money, and you can’t add even two cents. How can this be done? No one is taking care of this shed now. If someone comes to collect taxes one day, it will be on your account.
We all charge money for all transactions. It doesn’t matter if you pay less or earn less. If you really have to pay insufficient business tax, how can you compensate for the loss?"
Mr. Cui heard the waiter talk about business tax several times.
He was not completely ignorant, so he whispered: "Xiaoer, I have been thinking about it since I got home. You said that my uncle opened a medical clinic, collecting mountain goods and so on. Someone really noticed me, I
Just hand over the bills for medical treatment and medicine, and don’t let anyone see these..."
Yan Yu looked up at him with a surprised look on his face.
I didn't expect her uncle to have such a mind. You can figure out tax evasion, so why can't he do business according to the rules?
"My uncle said that the account books are kept hidden, so they cannot withstand anyone's investigation. Besides, there is no need for anyone to check them. Just ask someone and they will find out." Yan Yu felt that her uncle was a little confused about the situation now.
Patiently explained: "Uncle, look at your shed, how many patients have you seen, how many medicines have you sold? Aren't the bulk of our money still in this sales business?"
Mr. Cui was a little embarrassed and said: "Most of it comes from your family..."
This is not wrong.
Yan Yu's people were not in vain. She paid more for the things she received, piled charcoal outside, and took them to Fucheng from here, and she returned the money.
She thought for a while and said: "Uncle, there are only these people in our family. We can't arrange for anyone to guard this official road. Our charcoal farm business has also expanded. There are big families who buy a lot, and they don't want to pay for it.
We also have people and trucks at home, so it is convenient for us to come directly to both ends. We also have people from the village directly pulling the charcoal away from here. You have recorded it for us, saving us a lot of effort..."
The numbers that the villagers took away from the charcoal field always didn't match up with what Uncle Qi and his fourth uncle had recorded. They often missed the records. Yan Yu always made the numbers according to the numbers reported by the villagers. She couldn't do anything about it before, but now she found that her uncle was
If you make a transfer here, the account will be good. She needs to pay an extra amount for this, and she is happy to do so.
Yan Yu likes to have clear accounts and a good feeling.
"I can't let my uncle worry and suffer in vain. This money must be given." Yan Yu changed the topic and said: "Let's talk about the profit, we should increase it. Uncle, you can't take any chances. We have to share our responsibilities."
We can do business as much as we need, and if someone comes to collect taxes, we will pay them without breaking a penny, and earn the share of money we should earn, without being shabby."
…
The small sledge moved quickly across the snow, and managed to easily go around a rock without slowing down.
After leaving Langzhong Cui, Yan Yu walked back along the river.
Not long after, a clanking sound was heard.
Every day at noon, the village organizes people to harvest ice.
As soon as the place arrived, Yan Yu jumped off the sledge, took the tools and trotted over.
Gouzhu pulled the sledge to her side, jumped on it, and sat on it to enjoy the heat.
The ice on the river has become very thick.
Now when you cross the river, you no longer need to take a detour to the big stone bridge. You can walk across it directly on the ice.
Xiao'an Village takes ice from a little further in the river, and takes more than 20 large ice cubes at a time.
The hole where the ice was collected was quickly refilled with river water.
Yan Yu is a good hand at cutting ice. She is strong and can use her skills skillfully. The ice cubes she picks are square and neater than others.
Three yuan a day, no more, no less.
Once the work was done, she started changing guys.
Standing on the edge of the puddle, staring at the bubbling water.
The harpoon in his hand swung through.
"Haha! Two in a row!" Yan Yu raised the harpoon happily.
The two fish flapped unwillingly...
I pricked several times in succession, sometimes I could get the prick, and sometimes I just missed it.
"Boy, that's it. You've learned enough today. Please lend me your fork and I'll prick it a few times." The boy who had been waiting for a long time said impatiently.
"Yes, waiter, leave a few for us."
Yan Yu looked at his feet and counted his harvest.
It's okay.
Then stop today.
"When you're done, take it home with me..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone started talking to her.
"I know, I will make sure to rinse you clean, and I will pull the ice back for you. Come on, come on!"
The harpoon was snatched away, and several boys were shouting, calling this way, this way, and the other end to pierce it...
Yan Yu returned home with his harvest.
Clean up the fish first.
She was the only one at home, and no one could count on her, so she could only learn to do it little by little.
Fortunately, the fish was not difficult to clean. She didn't want to eat the fish head, so she just chopped off the fish head and took out the fish's stomach.
There is no need to remove the fish scales. Once all the fish have been picked up, wrap them in clean snow and leave them in a shady place.
She would save two of these snow cubes and send them away, this time to Fucheng and next time to Huju.
When someone brought the ice cubes to her home, Yan Yu tied them up with ropes and hung them down into the cellar.
Then he went down and piled together what he took today and what he took a few days ago.
She can do it herself, and she doesn't like to trouble others.
Just one person pulls slowly with a rope and slowly adjusts the position.
"Xiao Er, Xiao Er!"
"Uncle Qi, I'm in the cellar!"
"Food is ready! Come quickly!"
"Eh!"
Yan Yu responded and climbed up smoothly, like a happy little monkey.
Gouzhu waggled his tail and ran after her.
The Qi family likes steamed buns.
But in the past few days when Yan Yu came home for dinner, Mrs. Qi had tried her best to cook all the meals she knew how to cook.
Today I’m making pancakes.
The honey added in it was brought by Yan Yu from home.
Take a bite and the hot honey will flow out.
Suck and lick in a circle.
Sweet, sweet and sweet!
Two dishes were prepared on the table, one was mushroom broth and the other was stir-fried pork with Chinese cabbage. The meat was the pork left by the butcher Guan in the morning. It was half fat and half lean. It was very fragrant when stir-fried.
Ask Yan Yu about the game he brought back in the morning?
I must have finished eating!
The Qi family didn't have a meal every other day.
The three Qi brothers ate very slowly.
They were afraid that these women would not have enough to eat.
Yan Yu also knows the eating habits of the Qi family. They are not polite at all. They drink soup, pick up vegetables, bite sugar cakes, and eat quickly.
Put down your chopsticks when you are full.
After all the women in the family had finished eating, the three Qi brothers let go.
In the pile of sugar cakes, the top ones are covered with honey, and the ones at the bottom are ordinary pancakes.
Those three people also ate deliciously.
Mrs. Qi brought them another large basin of soup.
Chinese cabbage and fried pork were also added twice.
"Xiao Er, your mother asked you today when you will go back. Have you finished your work?" Mrs. Qi asked.
Yan Yu couldn't say that he came back to the village to hide from the limelight, so he just said that he came back to take stock.
"Almost!" Yan Yu mumbled.
Huh? My mother asked her when she would come back?
"Aunt Qi, are you going to the city to pay the deposit today?"
"It's not that good. Looking around, I'm still looking at the house next to your shop."
It was the first time for the Qi family to buy a house, so they were very cautious.
But they were really inexperienced, so they thought whichever one He Zhongren recommended would be good, but they really couldn't make up their minds.
In the end, the whole family bought one close to the Yan family.
The house the Qi family bought is not big, with a neat little courtyard.
In the words of He Zhongren, it is best to sell such a small courtyard or rent it out.
"The capital city is very lively today. The high-ranking officials from the capital city are here. There are many carriages and they are bringing a lot of things. I have gained a lot of experience. The people in the capital city look and dress differently from us..."
Mrs. Qi talked about what she saw today.
The Qi family's wife and her two daughters listened carefully.
Yan Yu knew why her mother told her to go back. The imperial court's award had arrived, and no one noticed her little one at the plum blossom appreciation banquet.
After eating, Yan Yu began to pack her things.
What makes her confused is whether to go directly back to Fucheng tomorrow or go to Huju?
When someone comes to the capital, they must go to Huju.
She really wanted to...go and see.
…
Action is worse than a heartbeat.
Yan Yu tied his things to the sledge and tied them tightly.
"Target: Huju!"
I saw her pointing her little hand, and she was very energetic.
"Hold on, enough is enough!"
He kept barking twice, then let go of his legs and started running like crazy!
Yan Yu held the guardrail with one hand and held the other hand in the air against the wind.
The posture is amazing.
Within two seconds I couldn't stand it anymore and quickly took my hand back.
Hiss! It’s so cold!
There was nothing urgent. She didn't come out early today. She was holding on to the time and wanted to get to Huju before noon.
Just in time for lunch, hehe!
I don’t want to be running only to realize that the road ahead is wrong.
Horse hoof prints and wheel prints.
Don't be too obvious.
This...can't be such a coincidence, right?
People from the capital? They just arrived in Guanzhou yesterday and are coming to Huju today?
Are you working so actively?!
…
When Yan Yu arrived at the gate of Huju City, he found Uncle Luo from the village poking around.
"Uncle Luo, what are you looking at?"
"Why are you here?" Luo San was quite surprised.
"Hand in your homework." Yan Yu's reason was extremely powerful.
Luo San's face was immediately filled with sympathy for her.
Having helped Yan Yu with homework twice, he especially understands the importance of the homework.
Luo San prefers to come to Huju.
Although Fucheng made more money, he still insisted on coming every few days.
As for why, he couldn't say.
Maybe I just feel that the people here are similar to them, but the people in Fucheng live a different life than they do.
"Many people came here, saying they were from the capital and wanted to give out rewards. They also said they wanted to pay homage to the second and third masters..." Luo San sighed a little.
Yan Yu immediately said: "Uncle Luo, I'm leaving!"
She has to go to the government office quickly!
…
Mr. Tian knelt down to thank him. When he stood up, he staggered.
I was helped by Santie.
Yes, Santie was sent by Yan Huaiwen to fill the scene in front of Mr. Tian today.
Is it true that the lord of a city only has a servant by his side?
Not only around Mr. Tian, since news came yesterday that the messenger from the capital had entered Yongning City, Yan Huaiwen called back everyone in the government office, as well as those scholars who were temporarily copying in the government office, and he ordered them to report to Yongning City today.
Get it all organized yourself and be there early in the morning.
"Mr. Tian, I heard that two adults died in the barn. I wonder if it would be convenient for our family to go and pay homage at this time?"
"Please, Eunuch Li, I will lead the way for you."
What made Mr. Tian look forward to it was not the reward brought by Eunuch Li, but the fact that he came out of the capital with the emperor's order. The first thing he did after issuing the decree was to pay homage to the two unfortunate adults.
Yan Huaiwen followed closely behind.
Everyone in the government office followed suit tacitly.
When Yan Yu arrived, he was catching up with someone.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stay here, find a place to stay by yourself, and take care of our things." Yan Yu ordered.
Gouzhu nodded and pulled the sledge into the government office.
Yan Yu quickly followed up with the people in front.
She is not eye-catching because more and more people are following this team.
There was some noise at first, as people who didn't know what was going on were asking each other.
Wait until you find out who these people are and what they are going to do.
All the people were silent.
…
It's a small door, but it's empty after entering.
This is Huju's barn.
I bought food several times but couldn't fill the space.
No, it should be said that this is the case here at all times.
If Beirong didn't come, they would live a miserable life. But if Beirong came, life would be even harder for the people here.
The reason why it can still be maintained is that no one has starved to death.
It's not that there's not enough food, it's that the tigers killed many people.
After a person dies, there is no need to eat anymore.
Eunuch Li stood still in the barn, his eyes moving inch by inch.
At this time, someone should go over and talk about the situation on the day when the Beirong troops came, and how loyal the two adults in the tiger army were.
But everyone in the government office was like a piece of wood, so stupid that no one came forward.
The people who followed crowded the whole street.
More and more, more and more.
They looked inside eagerly, not daring to go any further.
This is a place they often come to.
Yes, they have been collecting food here during this period, coming with tickets issued by the government and returning with old and new food.
"Eunuch Li!" Mr. Tian lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Beirong came to seize the grain, and the two adults guarded the barn..."
"The second master and the third master are loyal and loyal!"
"Well done to the second master and the third master!"
…
I don’t know who shouted the first sound.
Someone kept responding, and someone kept yelling.
They cried and shouted, as if they were back to that day again.
Helpless and terrified, he knelt down.
Thousands of people fell to their knees.
They didn't know what to say, and they didn't know how to tell the adults from the capital about the achievements of the second master and the third master.
They also couldn't remember what the second and third masters usually did.
Everyone only remembers that day, when the two gentlemen defended each other with their lives. The city guards were surrounded by dead soldiers all over the street, and the Yamen officers led them to flee for their lives...
After that day, the whole city was white with tigers!
If there are duplicates, refresh them~
Zhai went to the hospital today and checked himself by the way. He is very good. Dear friends, except for his low blood pressure, everything else is fine. Taking medicine every day is useful. He must take medicine on time in the future. Someone has recommended it to Zhai recently.
I got a new medicine, hehe, I just took it today, I hope it will be effective and help me get through the difficult summer (*▽*)
