Chapter 218： Good son-in-law candidate

After sending away the guests, the three brothers and sisters closed the door and took stock.

There are no goods in the shop, and there is no point in keeping it open. So we simply hang a sign on the door that reads "Goods sold out, shopkeeper goes home for the New Year, and will open for business on the 28th of the first lunar month."

In the store's accounting room, Jiang Cheng banged his abacus and finally calculated the profit for the past two months.

“Excluding the principal amount of gold ear and snow fungus, the principal amount of cakes, and all expenses in the shop, the total profit was one thousand six hundred and thirty-six taels.”

As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Jiang Quan screamed in disbelief: "Oh my god! So many?"

“What a fuss!”

Jiang Chengbai's younger brother took a look and said proudly: "These profits do not include the remaining 120 red lacquer boxes and more than 200 bamboo boxes at home."

In other words, the profits are not just those, but also include the many boxes that have been saved.

“Why can you earn so much?” Jiang Quan couldn’t understand.

Jiang Cheng: "Most of it is made from golden ears and snow ears. Apart from those two, there is not much left."

As he spoke, he took out another account book and handed it to Ying Bao: "This is the purchase account. Take a look and see if it's correct."

Ying Bao opened it and looked at it.

It records the quantity and money purchased from each shop. Some indicate that the payment for the goods has been made, while others have not.

Those who have not paid include the golden ear and snow fungus from my own family, the golden ear and snow fungus from the eldest uncle's family, the second uncle's family, and Jiang Cheng's own.

The purchase price of high-quality gold ear fungus is calculated based on fifteen taels per catty, while snow fungus is calculated at fifteen taels per catty.

Jiang Cheng: "I have put the payment aside and will give it to you later. I want to send the rest to the bank for deposit, and then take the banknotes back and distribute them to everyone."

The price for these golden and snow fungus is not small, and I’m afraid it’s not safe to take it all the way home.

Ying Bao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you can figure it out."

The cousin is really good at doing business. His accounts are clear and not sloppy at all.

I heard Jiang Cheng say again: "Next, let's divide the profit, Yingbao 50%, which is 818 taels, and the rest will be divided equally between my second brother and me, 409 taels each."

Jiang Quan exclaimed again, and then laughed: "Haha! I can finally buy a house!"

A few days ago, he went to various shops to pick up goods. He visited almost all of the county. He saw several very beautiful houses, and he dreamed that one day he could live in such a nice house.

Now that he has money, he can finally realize his wish.

Jiang Cheng said angrily: "Now you can only buy a house with your father's name on it."

Like a basin of cold water being poured down on him, Jiang Quan snorted, "So what, you've all been divided. Even if it's my father's name, I will inherit the family business in the end."

Jiang Cheng ignored him and took the account book to his room to get the money.

When Ying Bao and Jiang Quan helped their eldest brother drag out several large boxes of silver and copper coins from under his bed, they were all shocked.

One box contains neatly arranged fifty taels of silver ingots, the other box contains one, two, two or half taels of silver, and two large boxes of copper coins.

Jiang Cheng counted out more than 1,300 two large silver ingots and handed them to Ying Bao, saying: "This is your profit and the principal of Jin Er and Snow Er."

He also counted out four hundred and ninety taels and handed them to Jiang Quan: "If you don't plant golden ears, you will only make profits."

Jiang Quan doesn't care at all. He prefers running around instead of staying in the bacteria shed for several days at a time.

With a smile, he hugged the silver and counted it over and over again. He also picked up a piece of silver and kissed it, "Haha! I am now the richest person in the village!"

Which one in the village has more money than him?

Yingbao: "I am richer than you, and my eldest brother is also richer than you." Apart from anything else, the eldest cousin's golden ear principal plus the profit of the shop is already one thousand taels.

Jiang Quan froze and snorted: "Brother is no longer from our village, you..." He glanced at his little cousin.

Is she a human being?

She is just a little weirdo...well, little fairy boy, I have no comparison with her.

After dividing the money, Jiang Cheng added: "The remaining money is money from various shops in the county. I guess they will come to ask for the account tomorrow.

Each of us put another one hundred taels into the shop as working capital. From now on, daily expenses will come from the working capital, including monthly city tax, carriage and horse tax, money gifts for running the class room, and socializing and dining with the shopkeepers. All money is spent from here. When settling profits every month, the money here must be filled up before calculation. "

ˆ Yingbao expressed understanding.

Jiang Quan also nodded in agreement. He has also gained a lot of knowledge during this time, and he knows that doing business requires dealing with different people and managing various yamen, which is not easy.

"Let's go to the bank to deposit money now, and when the payment is settled tomorrow, we will take the ingot home." Jiang Cheng said: "By the way, we also need to buy some New Year's gifts to take back."

Since I have earned so much money this year, I will definitely return home in fine clothes and wash away the shame of getting married.

“Well, I also want to buy some annual profits.” In addition to buying New Year gifts, Yingbao also wants to buy more pastries, candies and trinkets from the county to take back.

The next day, several pastry shop keepers came to settle the bill, each bringing two boxes of their best pastries.

“First of all, I would like to congratulate Shopkeeper Jiang on getting rich in the coming year. After the New Year, let’s go to Tianxiang Tower to get together.” A pastry shop owner said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng smiled and returned the gift: "I would also like to congratulate all the shopkeepers in advance on a prosperous business and a big fortune in the coming year. When I come back, I will definitely bring some local specialties for you to try."

“It’s easy to talk about.” Several people paid the money and left one after another.

One of the wealthy shopkeepers came to the end and came to Jiang Cheng and asked in a low voice: "Is Brother Jiang getting married?"

Jiang Cheng said truthfully: "Not yet."

The shopkeeper Futai clapped his fat hands and smiled: "Very good, very good. Brother Jiang is so young and promising but he hasn't gotten married yet. Why don't you let Qiu lead a red line for you?"

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly: "My parents have the final say in my marriage, so I don't dare to agree to other people's wishes outside."

Shopkeeper Qiu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. As long as the two families are from the same family and the two children have both good character and moral integrity, it will be a good marriage. Your parents should not object."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the young man in front of him.

I saw that he was dressed in a plain cloth robe. He was handsome, handsome, and had a good temperament. He was also literate and could make money. He was really a rare good boy.

Looking at the younger brother next to Shopkeeper Jiang, he also has handsome features and clear eyes. Even though he is wandering around the market, he has no evil look at all.

Even the little sister at these few years old is so clever that people will fall in love with her just by looking at her.

Judging from the looks and demeanor of these children, the Jiang family’s tutors must be right.

If your daughter marries a young man like Jiang Cheng, it will definitely be a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes.

Ouch, the more I think about it, the more anxious I become.

What if such a good son-in-law candidate comes back to his hometown to arrange a marriage? Wouldn't my daughter miss out on a good relationship?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qiu patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Why don't we brother...our uncle and nephew go to Tianxiang...my house for a drink?"

Seeing that Jiang Cheng wanted to refuse, he immediately said: "Take your brother and sister with you. You haven't been to our house yet. Just go and touch the door. We can walk around more often in the future. Alas, my shop recently had another Why don’t you let your sister learn the new style of pastry?”

Xiao Nizi had been peeking in his shop all morning, probably stealing from his master.

My wife particularly likes clever children, so she made the chestnut cake from beginning to end several times to let her watch it more carefully.
