Chapter 262 Shen Fengshou's Account Book

"Aunt, there's no rush for the money. You've been spending a lot of money lately, so put it aside for now. Besides, it's all grown, so you won't need that much."

Su Wanwan didn't say she wouldn't accept it, she just said she would accept it later.

This pepper is a rare variety, and it is impossible not to harvest it. Only when brothers settle accounts clearly can they maintain long-term harmony.

Zhao Yan looked over and knew her sister-in-law's personality.

"Mother, since my sister-in-law said so, we do have a lot of money to spend right now. We'll give it to you in a few days when we have more money from sales. Wanwan, thank you so much."

Zhao Yan looked grateful.

Zhang Cuihua thought about it and agreed, so she took the silver back.

"Wanwan, how are you going to sell the peppers? Brothers should be clear about the accounts. We should have agreed on it in advance, so that Fengshou can also put it on the account."

When Su Wanwan heard this, she felt that her aunt was also a smart person. She didn't hesitate to ask about the prices of some seasonings in the town and set the price of chili peppers at thirty copper coins per pound.

It’s a bit expensive, but things are valuable because they are rare. Once peppers become more popular, their price will be about the same as ordinary vegetables.

The most important thing is that this kind of chili pepper needs to be dried before being sold, so it cannot be weighed.

Su Wanwan didn't want to raise the price too high. After all, this was being sold to her uncle's family, so she might as well consider it a family price.

When Shen Fengshou, who was standing by, heard what they said, he immediately went to get a notebook that he had sewn himself with thread.

This notebook was cut from the paper used by Shen Zhao. Paper is too expensive nowadays, and my uncle's family is reluctant to buy paper specifically for accounting.

The back of the paper used by Shen Zhao can still be written on. All the expenses of these days were written by Shen Fengshou in this kind of notebook.

After he finished writing, Su Wanwan became interested and took the notebook to read.

When I saw it, I was really shocked.

She only taught them arithmetic and Arabic numerals. She said she would teach him basic accounting methods, but she hasn't started teaching him yet.

Shen Fengshou could actually remember it clearly, listing every expense one by one, including the date and purpose, but now these were all initial investments and no income had yet been generated.

But he prepared two notebooks, one with the word "收" written on the cover, and the other with the word "支" written on the cover.

Although his handwriting was not very good looking, he was only 12 years old and he had only learned arithmetic and learned some characters from Shen Zhao.

And this idea is simply amazing.

"Fengshou, you are amazing. You remember it so clearly."

Su Wanwan couldn't help but praise, and the other children also ran over to see.

"Brother is so awesome."

"Yeah, I know these numbers, but I don't know what the front part means."

"Big brother is worthy of being our big brother."

Several children talked at once, praising Shen Fengshou until his face turned red.

"It's all thanks to my aunt's good teaching. I just still can't write many words."

Shen Fengshou scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You are already very good. Just learn to recognize the characters slowly and practice slowly. How about this, when you come to my house to study next time, you can stay and I will teach you some other things alone. As a reward, I will give you two more account books."

Su Wanwan already had an idea. It would be a shame not to educate such a talented child.

Shen Fengshou's eyes lit up with joy.

Zhang Cuihua, however, immediately said:

"It's a blessing for him that you can teach him. How can I let you spend more money? That book is very valuable."

Su Wanwan did not comment, looked at the other children, and continued:

"Everyone has their own talents, so be sure to tell us what you like."

After hearing this, the children seemed to be thinking about what they liked. In the end, it was Xiao Yueer who spoke first:

"Mom, I like to eat delicious food."

Su Wanwan couldn't help laughing.

Children are so cute.

"You are still young. Think about what you like in the future, and your mother will let you learn it."

Xiao Yue'er lowered her eyes.

Yes, who doesn’t like to eat delicious food? It’s not a talent.

However, with Xiao Yue'er's introduction, several children expressed their ideas one after another.

Shen Fengnian muttered:

"I like to help my family with work. I don't like reading. I can't remember what I read."

Da Tao also said timidly:

"I like to cook with my aunt..."

Erni's temperament is more lively than Datao's. She immediately said

"I like my grandma's needlework, I like sewing clothes......"

Su Wanwan looked at this group of children. After all, they had too little experience. For example, they had never seen the ancient arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how could they like them?

Their likes are also limited to daily life, but some clues can be found.

Those who like cooking can become chefs, and those who like needlework can learn embroidery, which is also good.

"You are all good kids. No matter what you like to do, as long as you work hard, you will be able to live a good life. Our family will definitely get better and better in the future. By then, you may all learn what you like."

Su Wanwan said a few words, and the aroma of the braised meat almost filled the entire yard.

Shen Qing has been helping out at the water mill these days. She smelled the fragrance as soon as she arrived at the door. At the same time, Dahong from next door was also attracted by the fragrance and ran out.

Seeing Shen Qing, he couldn't help but ask:

"Shen Qing, what delicious food did you make at home? Why does it smell so good?"

Shen Qing thought about it. She knew that her mother and sister-in-law were making braised meat at home. Her mother also said that after it was done, they would give some to the neighbors to taste. The aroma of the braised meat could not be hidden, so it had to be made clear to prevent others from thinking that her family ate meat at home every day.

"My sister-in-law is at home stewing pigs and smashing them. Sister Dahong, let's go to my house and try some."

Shen Qing was about to pull Dahong, but Dahong was embarrassed to go to someone else's house to eat, so she wanted to pull it back immediately.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qing was so strong that she pulled him home.

"Shen Qing, don't, it's not appropriate."

She refused. Zhang Cuihua heard the noise and saw that it was them, so she called over:

"Dahong, come quickly, it's just in time, it will be ready soon."

Dahong is a beautiful and kind girl. Zhang Cuihua loves her very much and wishes she could marry her to her daughter-in-law. However, her third son doesn't like her.

But that didn't stop her from continuing to like this little girl. She and Dahong's mother had been friends and sisters for many years, so she naturally treated Dahong like a family member.

Her aunt also came out to call her. It would be bad for Dahong to be shy any longer, so she simply followed Shen Qing into the yard.

"Auntie, I won't be polite. I can try your cooking skills. The fragrance can probably be smelled by the whole village. I am so greedy."

Dahong smiled and said that since she had come in, she should behave in a graceful and confident manner.

Seeing Su Wanwan was there too, he immediately greeted her.

Zhao Yan just put out the fire, picked out some with chopsticks and put them on a plate to cool, then smashed a few garlic cloves and crushed them in a stone mortar.

With a little salt and vinegar and a few drops of sesame oil, this fragrant garlic sauce, paired with a bowl of mixed noodles, is the best food for rural people.

Not to mention, this garlic sauce goes well with meat.

Everyone in the family has tried it but didn't have much reaction. Dahong ate a piece and said it was delicious.
