Chapter 83 83 Buying a pond, meeting old friends again

When Li Yu arrived in the town, he went to the backyard of the shop and said to Zhou Jia who was doing the accounting: "Zhou Jia, I found a pond. You and I can go back and have a look. If it is suitable, I want to buy it."

Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu to sit beside him and looked at Li Yu lovingly, "As long as you like it, I will go to Tongzhou City tomorrow to buy it for you and make it your dowry."

Li Yu looked at the densely written account book and frowned: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Zhou Jia saw Li Yu frowning and thought she was angry, so he pulled Li Yu and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back with you and take a look."

Li Yu pointed to the account book on the table: "I'm frowning not because I'm angry that you don't go to the pond, but because I think it's too troublesome for you to keep accounts like this. It's easy to confuse and it's not convenient to check the accounts."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu curiously: "What kind of account book do you know? Show me the drawing."

Li Yu took out a piece of white paper and took out charcoal, drew a cash flow account form, pointed to it and said to Zhou Jia: "The upper half is the year number, and the bottom is the month and day, and then the number. Summary, debits, credits, amounts, and at the bottom is the total for the month, summary of debits, and credits.”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and smiled proudly: "Look at whether the accounts will become simple and clear in this way, and you can also change the header to become the outgoing and incoming accounts, followed by so-and-so People, when and what month, who put things in and out of the warehouse, and whose hands the things were handed over, so that if there is a problem, there will be a traceable record."

Zhou Jia looked at the account books in front of him, then looked at Li Yu, with ups and downs in his heart: With this accounting method, what kind of entry and exit slips are there? Even an old accountant with many years of experience can't make it. Who is Yu'er's master? ?

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia looking at him blankly, and smiled angrily: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and said to her with a smile: "Yu'er, what should I do? I feel like I'm not good enough for you. You can do better than me no matter what you do, and I feel a little ashamed of myself."

Li Yu also smiled and praised him: "I'm not as good as you in many places. I didn't know the wood when you were building the house. You still have fame. Maybe you can take the official position in the future. Then I will be the official wife." Yes. Also, you are good at buying and selling things, and you are handsome and elegant. The only flaw is that you are too indestructible, and you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself if something happens to you."

Zhou Jia's smile disappeared as he listened, and he looked at Li Yu with a grimace: "Yu'er, how about you teach me some boxing and kicking skills to protect myself so that I won't be bullied."

Li Yuting thought for a while and said, "There is a set of boxing techniques suitable for you to practice. When the house is repaired, I will bring Ah Qing with me, and you and the apprentice will practice together."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and asked her to sit on the chair, "I'm going to Tongzhou City early tomorrow morning. Do you want to buy anything else?"

"Look at the seed shop to see if there are lotus root seeds. If the pond has bought them, go and buy some."

Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu's forehead and said softly: "Yu'er, don't worry, I promise to take care of it."

Li Yu deliberately said in an evil voice: "Xiao Xizi, remember this carefully! If you can't handle it, don't come back."

"Yes, if you can't do it, you can punish me by kissing you." Zhou Jiaxi smiled and picked up a stack of white paper and handed it to Li Yu, "Cut some paper for me first, and you can watch me draw some wrong places. , please give me your guidance, sir."

Li Yu scratched Zhou Jia's nose and said, "Now he is becoming more and more glib. He used to look like a gentleman."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and kissed it, looking aggrieved, "How could I? I've always been serious."

Li Yu looked at him and curled his lips: "Yeah! You always talk nonsense seriously." Li Yu smiled and took out his hand, picked up the bamboo knife and started to cut the paper.

After the two of them finished the account book, they went to help Zhaocai put the goods away, leaving Zhaocai to look at the store. The Zhouji grocery store in Fengming Town was about to open on the right day.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jia set off for Tongzhou City. After resting for a night at the inn, he went to purchase goods early the next morning. Zhou Jia went to the garrison Yamen.

As soon as he walked to the yamen, he met Shen Wu accompanying a grey-haired, thin and kind old man coming out of the yamen. Zhou Jia looked at the old man with joy, walked over quickly and bowed his head: "Grandpa Wen, when will you be here?" Come to Tongzhou?"

The old man turned around and saw Zhou Jia happily hugging him. The joy of meeting him after a long separation made both of them burst into tears. "Xiao Xi'er, why are you here?"

Shen Wu was anxious to take Dr. Wen to see the young master. Seeing that Dr. Wen was a master and disciple of Zhou Jia, he quickly smiled and said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect that you and Dr. Wen are old friends!"

Doctor Wen patted Zhou Jia and said angrily: "Stop talking. I asked him to study medicine with me and he refused even if he lived and died. After studying, he became half-assed." Mr. Wen said to Zhou Jia again: "Jiahe, We'll get back together when the old man goes to the General's Mansion to see his young master."

Zhou Jia bowed and said, "Grandpa Wen, Xiao Xi, his fiancée and some fellow villagers have now settled in Tongzhou. I will go to the garrison Yamen to buy a few acres of water ponds first. When you see the young master from the General's Mansion, I will be in the opposite house." The teahouse is waiting for you.”

After hearing this, Doctor Wen said happily, "Okay! Just wait until I come out to find you and see your little wife."

After hearing this, Shen Wu said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, regarding the purchase of the pond, please go to Secretary Xu's office and tell me my name, Shen Wu. I promise not to embarrass you. The young master is still waiting for Dr. Wen at the General's Mansion. !”

Zhou Jia thanked Shen Wu and put Doctor Wen on the carriage. After watching the carriage go away, he turned around and entered the garrison Yamen.

Zhou Jia found Secretary Xu who came to Fengming Village that day and asked Secretary Xu, "Scroll Xu, I would like to ask, are the remaining wastelands and ponds in Fengming Village going to be sold?"

Xu Shuban pondered for a moment and said, "You have to ask the general's personal guard Shen Wu to know."

Zhou Jiadao, "I just met Shen Wu at the garrison Yamen. Brother Shen told me to come to you as soon as possible."

Secretary Xu immediately became polite, pulled out his chair and said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment while I go get the fish scale book to see how much wasteland and ponds are left."

Zhou Jia nodded in agreement. Xu Shuban took out the fish scale book from the cabinet. After reading it, he said to Zhou Jia, "There are still more than 800 acres of wasteland, 300 acres of ponds, and more than 200 acres of sloping land. You can all Do you want it?"

Zhou Jiadao, "Mr. Xu, I want them all."

Xu Shuban smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are so lucky. The general just decided to sell all that land yesterday, and you are here today. There are many people who want that piece of wasteland. If the big families in the city know about it, News, hehe!"

Zhou Jia stuffed a red envelope into Xu Shuban's hands and said with a smile, "It's a trivial matter, not a sign of respect."

Xu Shuban pinched the red envelope and knew that it contained a banknote. He happily said to Zhou Jiada, "Mr. Zhou is just too polite."

Xu Shuban took out the land deed and said to Zhou Jia, "The total cost of that piece of wasteland is 500 taels of silver, the pond is 100 taels, and the slope land is 100 taels. Including the deed tax, the total is 750 taels. No taxes will be paid for the first three years. After the year, the tax will be collected according to the tax on the mountain land, one in ten, and the tax on the pond will be fifty cents per acre per year."

"Please, Mr. Xu, please record the land deed and the pond's land deed in my fiancée's name." Zhou Jia took out the banknote and handed it to Secretary Xu.

After Xu Shuban wrote the land deed and handed it to Zhou Jia, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is really a person who values ​​love and justice, not bad."

Zhou Jia took the land deed and put it in his bag, and said to Shuban Xu, "Mr. Xu, if you don't mind, please come to Fengming Village to play when you have time."

"Absolutely, Mr. Zhou, go slowly." Xu Shuban sent Zhou Jia to the door, took out the red envelope, opened it and saw a ten-tael silver note inside, and smiled with satisfaction.
