Chapter 309 Buying and selling
"Why does the whole city know about the princess's lost things?" Yan Yu didn't understand.
Yan's second son also couldn't figure it out: "If it were changed, I would definitely investigate secretly. This place still has the face of the palace, so it's not good for people to discuss it every day."
He shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out, I'd better go back and talk to your uncle, let him make up his mind."
Yan Yu also sighed: "We originally thought of sending a letter secretly to say something, but the trouble is so big, it will be difficult to handle, and we will be arrested as thieves if we can't handle it."
Yan's second son: "That's right, let's think about it in the long run, and let your uncle worry about it."
Yan Yu nodded fiercely, and said with a grin: "It's nice to have an uncle."
Yan's second son also thought so, and the two of them smiled knowingly and left the market.
Yan Xiangheng got his uncle's advice, and his aunt was watching. Selling mooncakes is very tricky. He can't learn the kind words and warm words of Yan's second son, but he can be polite, patient and kind.
It is also very popular with aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law, and the mooncakes they bring are sold one after another.
Da Ya cut the mooncakes to try and helped Yan Xiangheng. Li Xuemei seemed to be doing nothing, but she kept staring at the oiled paper bags on the bullock cart. , and also in case someone fishes in troubled waters and secretly takes it.
Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu turned back, there were only a few packs of mooncakes left in the cart, and he drove the ox cart slowly while yelling loudly.
Before reaching the city gate, the mooncakes were sold out.
Yan Xiangheng admired his uncle to death.
"Cover it up first, and then walk out of the city gate, so that the wealth will not be revealed, and it will make people look bad." Yan Laoer said.
Da Ya hurriedly used the straw mat on the bullock cart to cover the burden of copper plates.
After a carload of people left Yongning City, Yan Yu happily counted and stringed money together.
This time, she doesn't need to settle accounts. She has taught the eldest brother and eldest sister, so she should let them get started and practice more.
Look at her younger brother Fengnian, who manages the accounts of Boy Scouts and Cui Langzhong's family by himself, and manages them clearly.
It's all because of a lot of practice.
Seeing that the eldest nephew and eldest niece were struggling with the cost of materials, Li Xuemei couldn't bear to look down, and pointed out: "The cost will be discussed when we get home. You first calculate how much money we sold for a piece of mooncake."
When the eldest nephew wiped away the few packets of mooncakes he had taken away, Yan Laoer couldn't help interjecting: "I also count what I took away, and I can't just remove them. The copper coins earned are deducted."
Afraid that they might not understand, Yan Laoer said again: "Yes, I will add the money to you first when I get home, so as to save you from difficult calculations."
Yan Xiangheng thinks that he has done well in the arithmetic homework assigned to him by his second grader. The so-called addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can quickly calculate the results, but today's mooncake business has taught him a good lesson.
Easier said than done.
Business is not a simple math problem. It must be combined with reality, and no details should be missed. They made a mistake when they didn’t record how many mooncakes they tried, and they could only infer from the money they received.
Going forward, they don't even know how many mooncakes they brought out...
Yan Xiangheng looked at Xiao Er who had strung up all the copper plates and lifted them up for his aunt with a smile, and asked her, "Xiao Er, how many mooncakes should we bring out?"
"Two hundred and sixty." Yan Yu replied without thinking.
Yan Xiangheng was convinced, he deserved to be the little teacher who taught them arithmetic, amazing!
Ms. Rong recorded the amount of each material clearly, and because she went to Daji, she knew the prices of various materials very well, so she wrote down the unit price for them very casually.
Yan Xiangheng's face turned red, and the young man secretly made up his mind to settle the account of the moon cakes.
Go to his father's room and ask about the price of oiled paper.
Hard to calculate.
When it was handed over to Yan Yu in the end, he was very confident.
Brother's looking forward to the little eyes is too hot.
Yan Yu evaded and lowered her head, struggled for a while, couldn't bear to hit him, and returned the paper of settlement to her father.
Yan Laoer didn't think so much, took it over and took a look, and found something wrong.
"Nephew, we also have to count the copper coins we got into the city. Today we went to Yongning City specially to sell mooncakes. You have to add these copper coins."
Yan Xiangheng did not expect that with such care, there would be omissions.
Almost had to find a crack in the ground to get in.
It was still Li Xuemei who couldn't see that the duo was bullying honest people together, and said: "Heng'er, don't listen to your uncle, even if you don't go to the city to sell moon cakes, your uncle has to go to various houses to give gifts. The money to go to the city can't be saved. It doesn’t matter if you add or not.”
"Auntie, I understand. Uncle said yes, I will definitely pay attention next time." Yan Xiangheng said embarrassedly.
After Yan Xiangheng left, Yan Yu frowned while holding the paper.
"What's wrong? Is there still a mistake? It's gone!" Yan Er said.
Yan Yu: "No, it's just as you said, you really don't make much money."
Yan Lao Er laughed and said: "Not only let Heng'er have a long memory, but you also remember it in the future. Sometimes you can't just calculate the cost of materials, but you have to include the cost of time. I also heard from your mother that this The money earned from the mooncakes has to be shared with Nanny Rong, and if you go to the other half, do you calculate how much money you earned from all of us going into battle?"
"Nurse Rong's is mine!" Yan Yu pretended.
"Haha! Then you say the same in front of your uncle." Yan Laoer smiled and said: "From our point of view, there are gold everywhere outside, making money seems to be very simple, like picking, but it's not right, just say this Moon cakes, you know how to make them, they are delicious, you have molds, and you have wrapped them in oiled paper, why don’t we earn a little money?”
Yan Yu: "I know, we sell the same price for six yuan and four yuan for others, and for one, they also have gift boxes, that is the high profit."
Yan Laoer: "Low-end sales, high-end profits, look at how well this business is done, and there is another point that you have overlooked, that is, they have run the business for several generations, and the whole family points to this It is not a thorough study of a skill to eat.
If you want to do the same, you have to put in more energy. Therefore, we can’t earn all the money. We can’t get distracted. Just give our family a whole pile of money and understand it. The rest are just piggybacking. , don't take it too seriously. "
Yan Er Er went out triumphantly after teaching her daughter.
Yan Yu couldn't help complaining: "Mother, do you think it's my father who is the most money-seeking person in our family? He still has the nerve to say me."
Li Xuemei pursed her lips and smiled, you two are half a catty and six taels, which are about the same.
She pointed outside, "Your father went to see your uncle?"
Yan Yu jumped up in an instant, and quickly got off the kang.
Tiptoed out.
Dad must be talking about the caisson when he was looking for uncle.
Li Xuemei watched her daughter squatting under the window naturally, and after a while, she came to her senses, knocked on the door lightly, and was called in smoothly again, she bent her eyebrows with a smile.
