Xu Yinyin felt his gaze, and she still felt a little guilty. Only she could read this account book, and the rest of the family was illiterate, so she used modern Chinese characters and Arabic numerals to record it. It was simple. Only if she used the characters here, she could read it.
As for a thousand-character essay, I can’t write it well yet.
She was writing quickly now, and the brush only affected the beauty of the words, but it did not affect her writing.
Seeing that Old Man Xu was fascinated, she almost thought he was going to question him.
Fortunately, old man Xu couldn't read or write, so he couldn't tell anything.
Xu Yinyin and Xu Dajun looked at each other and continued to write.
After listing the sales volume and then adding the unit price, Xu Yinyin calculated the sales volume of each item by just verbal calculations and wrote them down at the end. Once everything was clear, she added each sales volume directly.
This gives you total sales.
"Grandpa, I sold a total of twenty-five taels and ten cents today!"
Old man Xu was still lost in thought. When Leng Buding heard this sentence, he was stunned and said, "What?"
Xu Yinyin repeated it again.
Day six...
Naturally, the customer flow is not as good as yesterday's opening.
Old man Xu's mouth trembled as he listened. He calmed down for a long time, held the money box and began to divide the pile of silver.
A good night's dream, another bright day.
After saying that, he gave the money decided at that time to several people, one piece for Ma family, one piece for Xu Sanlang, one piece for Xu Wanya, one piece for Xu Yinyin, and two pieces of silver for Xu Dajun, each one was worth three cents.
He closed the money box and locked it, and carefully put the key in the key bag around his neck.
These prices were set by Xu Yinyin after careful consideration based on the cost of the required raw materials and a visit to the market.
After collecting his own few taels of silver, there were only sixteen taels left on the counter.
At first, Rokuro's 12 taels of silver were counted and put aside. He also invested a few taels of silver to buy raw materials, and he also counted them and put them aside. The remaining eight taels and three coins were left in the box to facilitate the operation of the shop.
Xu Chunshan and Xu Sanlang also went back first and grinded some things tomorrow and brought them to the shop to make. Zhang Xiulan stayed in the shop and was responsible for cooking.
The fifth day...
After finishing the accounts and having dinner, everyone washed up and took a rest.
Old Man Xu also knew the approximate number of circles he had circled. This sounded similar, so he nodded.
After lunch, Old Man Xu sent Xu Chunhe and Xu Dalang to purchase raw materials, and then left the city with Old Mrs. Xu and the others to go home.
In the school, Xu Dajun ushered in another monthly exam.
When it got dark, I stayed there for a while before closing.
On the fourth day, four taels and three cents.
Many people came in to browse and ask questions, and the turnover throughout the morning was clearly visible.
Xu Yinyin quickly said: "So the toothpaste will cost sixteen taels and eight cents of silver, the soap will cost one, two and three cents and fifty cents of silver, the shampoo will cost four taels and five cents of silver, the soap will cost three cents and sixty cents of silver, and the shampoo soap will cost three cents and sixty cents of silver."
Three cents of silver, one tael of silver for lipstick, one tael of balm for balm, all added together, a total of twenty-five taels and ten cents were sold today, that’s right! If you don’t believe me, ask Rokuro!
"
The shampoo is also 300 yuan per can, which is quite large. One can can last a family of five for two months.
"With today's profit, we can first cover all the costs of the shop. The rent is 22-8 yuan, and the 3-2-3 yuan for purchasing the items in the shop. After excluding these, the remaining 8-2-3 yuan is ours.
It’s a pure profit. In the next month when I buy raw materials and sell them, I only count the cost of the raw materials!”
Old man Xu was so shocked that he was speechless. He was not only surprised that his granddaughter could settle accounts so quickly without relying on abacus, but also shocked that Jinla sold so much money on the first day of opening. He subconsciously looked at Xu Dajun.
Xu Yinyin took out the previous cost account and calculated it, and said: "Just counting the cost of these raw materials, I spent a total of seventeen taels before, but there are still some goods left, so I will probably get rid of the seventy taels of goods first.
Well, then here is the cost of twelve taels, plus these eight days of wages, that is a net profit of fourteen taels and fourteen!"
Today is the second day of opening. We don’t have to wait for an auspicious time or an unlucky time, we are on the right track. They can open whenever others open.
Old Man Xu waved his hand and called everyone who was looking over, "Before we opened this shop, we made a fortune by making toothpaste, and then we had the capital to open this shop. If Liu Lang hadn't said
To open a shop, I will not only keep the money in the company, but also plan to share it with a few people who have worked hard first. Now that I have earned it back, the money mentioned at the time still needs to be divided."
It took Xu Yinyin less than a quarter of an hour to write down today's account, which amounted to seventy-two cents.
The grandson confirmed that Old Man Xu believed it now. Their business is so good today, they really sold so much!
Now I was counting my fingers to calculate how much net profit I would make today after excluding costs, but I couldn't figure it out with trembling lips. I just looked at my granddaughter eagerly, "Si Ya..."
"It's really settled." Xu Yinyin said: "Grandpa, listen to it. Fifty-six cans of toothpaste were sold, twenty-seven yuan of soap was sold, fifteen cans of shampoo were sold, and eighteen yuan of soap were sold.
We sold five yuan of hair soap, eight lipsticks, and twelve boxes of balm, grandpa, right?"
Xu Yinyin and Xu Wuya were making soap with enough raw materials at the back of the shop. In the front shop, only Old Man Xu and Xu Erlang were guarding.
On the third day, six taels and five cents.
"No, what if it's done so soon? I haven't seen you yet?" Old Man Xu was surprised.
With the help of two people, Xu Yinyin saved a lot of time and researched and figured out more fragrances.
A can of toothpaste costs 300 cents. Xu Dajun had set this price earlier. If the price was different now, I'm afraid those classmates would have something to say, so the price is still the same now, but the portion is too much.
Shampoo soap is sixty cents a piece, toilet soap is fifty cents a piece, bar soap is twenty cents, lipstick is a hundred and fifty cents a piece, and a box of balm is a hundred cents.
Xu Yinyin also gradually learned things. Xu Wuya learned to make toothpaste, shampoo, lip balm, and Xu Sanlang also learned to make soap and laundry soap.
After giving out a few, Old Man Xu put the rest into Gongzhong's account and spent them together.
After being open for half a month, the business of the shop has continued to be stable, and there is income every day. Old Xu grinned, and everyone in the old Xu family is also very motivated.
Xu Dajun nodded in agreement, "That's right, grandpa, the fourth sister's calculation was correct!" Nonsense, if Xu Yinyin's calculation was wrong, then he was also wrong.
We also made hand cream, frostbite ointment, facial ointment, etc.
Last monthly exam, he copied the four books by hand eight times, worked overtime for three days, and rushed to the last minute to finish the copy and hand it in. With a pair of panda eyes, he was really desperate for copying. He worked hard afterwards, and that was serious.
Those who have learned the Eight Classics must have listened carefully to every lesson while sitting in the school.
Therefore, he is very confident in this monthly exam!
Xu Dajun only had to wear a headscarf on his forehead with the word "Come on" written on it.
Come on, work hard, work hard in the exam, it doesn't matter if you can't answer the answer, at least you tried hard.
At this moment, sitting in the school, facing the examination paper, Xu Dajun felt like he had divine help when writing.
