Chapter 83 83 Buying a pond, old friends reunite

Li Yu went to the town and went to the backyard of the shop, and said to Zhou Jia, who was checking accounts, "Zhou Jia, I found a pond. You and I will go back and have a look. If it suits me, I want to buy it."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu and sat beside him, looking at Li Yu dotingly, "You can do it if you like it. I'll go to Tongzhou City tomorrow and buy it for you as a 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, thought she was angry, and pulled Li Yu: "Okay, I'll go back with you to see."

Li Yu pointed to the account book on the table: "I frowned not because I was angry that you didn't look at the pond, but because I thought it was too troublesome for you to keep accounts in this way, and it was easy to be confused and inconvenient to check accounts."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu curiously: "What kind of account book do you know? Draw it for me."

Li Yu took a piece of white paper and took out a charcoal pen, drew a cash flow account form, pointed to it and said to Zhou Jia: "The upper half of this is the year number, the following is the month and day, and then the number, Summary, debit, credit, amount, and at the bottom are the month total, debit, and credit summary."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia with a smug smile: "Look at this, the accounts will become simpler and clearer, and you can also change the title to become an outbound and inbound account, followed by so-and-so. People, when and what month, who put things in and out of the warehouse, and who is in the hands of things, so that once there is a problem, there will be records that can be traced back to the original."

Zhou Jia looked at the account book in front of him, and then looked at Li Yu, and his heart was fluctuating: such a way of bookkeeping, what kind of receipt and exit list, even the old account room can't make it, who is Yu'er's master? ?

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia staring at him blankly, and said with a strange smile: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and smiled and said to her, "Yu'er, what should I do? I don't think I'm worthy of you. You are better than me no matter what you do. I'm a little ashamed of myself."

Li Yu also praised him with a smile: "I'm not as good as you, I don't know the wood when you look at the house, you still have a reputation, maybe you will be an official in the future, then I will be the official wife. Also, you are also good at buying and selling things, and you are handsome and elegant. The only fly in the ointment is that you are too lethal, and you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter a problem.”

Zhou Jia listened to the smile and lost his smile, and looked at Li Yu with a bitter face: "Yu'er, why don't you teach me some self-defense boxing skills, so that I won't be bullied."

Li Yu listened to it for a while, "There is a set of boxing techniques suitable for you to practice. When the house is repaired, I will bring Ah Qing up as well, and you and your apprentice will practice together."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and let her sit on the chair, "I'm going to Tongzhou City 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 is bought, you can buy some back."

Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu's forehead and said softly, "Yu'er, don't worry, I'll make sure it's done."

Li Yu said maliciously on purpose: "Xiao Xizi, then you can remember it! If you can't do it, don't come back."

"Yes, if you don't do it well, you punish me and kiss you." Zhou Jia smiled and picked up a stack of white paper and handed it to Li Yu, "Help me cut some paper first, and you look at some of the wrong things I drew. , please give me more advice, sir."

Li Yu scratched Zhou Jia's nose, "Nowadays, he has become more and more glib, and he used to look like a gentleman."

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand and kissed it, looking aggrieved, "How can I, I have always been serious."

Li Yu looked at him and curled his lips: "Yeah! You have always been talking nonsense in a serious manner." Li Yu smiled and pulled out his hand, picked up the bamboo knife and started cutting paper.

After finishing the account book, the two went to help Zhaocai to put the goods in place, leaving Zhaocai to watch the store, and when the day was chosen, the Zhouji grocery store in Fengming Town was about to open.

The next morning, Zhou Jia set off for Tongzhou City. After resting at the inn for one night, he went to buy goods in the early morning of the next day. Zhou Jia went to the garrison yamen.

As soon as he walked to the yamen, he encountered Shen Wu coming out of the yamen with an old gentleman with gray hair, thin and kind, Zhou Jia looked at the old gentleman with joy, hurried over to pay his head and bowed: "Grandpa Wen, when did you Did you come to Tongzhou?"

The old man turned his head and saw Zhou Jia hugging him happily. The joy of reuniting after a long absence brought tears to their eyes, "Xiao Xi'er, why are you here?"

Shen Wu was anxious to take Doctor Wen to see a doctor. Seeing that Doctor Wen was matched with Zhou Jia's master and apprentice, he quickly smiled and said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you and Doctor Wen to be friends!"

Dr. Wen patted Zhou Jia and said angrily: "Don't say it, I asked him to follow me to study medicine, and he was unwilling to do so. After he learned it, he became half-baked." Mr. Wen said to Zhou Jia again, "Jiahe, We will meet again when the old man goes to the General's Mansion to see his young master."

Zhou Jia bowed and said, "Grandpa Wen, Xiaoxi brought his fiancée and some folks, and now they have settled down in Tongzhou. I will go to the garrison yamen to buy a few acres of ponds, and I will wait for you to see the son of the general's mansion come out, and I will be there opposite. The teahouse is waiting for you."

Doctor Wen said happily, "Okay! You wait for the old man to come out to find you, and go see your little daughter-in-law."

After Shen Wu heard this, he said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, about buying a pond, you should go to Xu Shuban and report my name, Shen Wu, to ensure that you will not be embarrassed. The son is still waiting for Doctor Wen at the General's Mansion. !"

Zhou Jia thanked Shen Wu with his hands, put Doctor Wen on the carriage, watched the carriage go away, and then turned around and entered the garrison yamen.

Zhou Jia found the clerk Xu who came to Fengming Village that day, and asked the clerk Xu, "Scribe Xu, I want to ask, do you want to sell the remaining wasteland and ponds in Fengming Village?"

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

Zhou Jiadao, "I met Shen Wu at the garrison yamen just now. Brother Shen told me to come and find you."

Xu Shuban immediately became polite, pulled out his chair and said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, wait a moment and I'll get the fish scale book and see how many wastelands and ponds are left."

Zhou Jia nodded in agreement, Xu Shuban took out the fish scale book from the cabinet, and 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. Want it?"

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

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

Zhou Jia stuffed a red seal for Xu Shuban and said with a smile, "It's not a trivial matter, it's not a respect."

Xu Shuban pinched the red envelope, knowing that it contained a silver note, and happily said to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou is too polite."

Xu Shuban took out the title deed and said to Zhou Jia, "That piece of wasteland is 500 taels in total, 100 taels of ponds, 100 taels of sloping land, plus the deed tax, the total is 750 taels, no taxes are paid for the first three years, three After the year, it is charged according to the mountain tax, 10 yuan per 10, and 50 yuan a year for each acre of pond."

"Trouble Mr. Xu to record the title deed and the title deed of the pond in the name of my fiancee." Zhou Jia took out the silver note and handed it to Xu Shuban.

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

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

"Sure, Mr. Zhou walk slowly." Xu Shuban took Zhou Jia to the door, took out the red envelope, opened it and saw a silver note of 10 taels inside, and smiled with satisfaction.
