In the grocery store, Li Zaoer put down the account book in her hand and asked Yang Fu, who was sitting opposite her, and said, "I remember that I had entered a batch of color lines yesterday? Why isn't I remember this one?"

Yang Fu hurriedly said, "I think it seems troublesome to remember everything for just a few essays."

Li Zaoer shook her head and said, "Brother Yang, you don't remember it. Although it's just a few cents, if I can't match the account, I have to check it repeatedly several times, which is even more troublesome."

"So that's how it is." Yang Fu touched his ears and said embarrassedly: "I thought it would be better to keep these little things in my heart and save trouble."

Li Zaoer shook her head again, pointed to the account book, and said, "Brother Yang, although this is a small grocery store, there are not many goods in and out of the market, but the types are very complicated. Can you guarantee that you can remember each of them clearly? Even if you remember them clearly now, what will happen in the future?"

Yang Fu nodded quickly and said, "I will remember everything in the future. But girl, is it worth it for us to have such a small shop?"

Li Zaoer laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with the size of the shop. To put it bluntly, it is actually about low-income and high-income. In this case, how much money you earn, how much you sell, the difference between the shop, and then removing the rest of the expenses of the shop, is the surplus... it is the money you make. A shop that does not keep accounts cannot even calculate the most basic surplus, and that is not long-term."

Seeing that Yang Fu was still half-understood, Li Zaoer said again: "The account book is the simplest now. If I think, I have to have at least two account books, one is to remember cash... No, it is the silver we can spend at any time. One must remember how much money our shop has in the bank, or pawnshop mortgage, or money borrowed from others, etc. Of course, there is no need now."

Although Yang Fu didn't understand very well, he kept listening intently, saying: "This book is enough for me to have a headache, two books..." He shook his head repeatedly and said: "I can't do it."

"You have to do it even if you can't do it." Li Zaoer said, while taking a pen to replenish the account book, saying, "If the shop is bigger in the future, there will be more. Like..." She explained carefully: "For example, if this shop leaks rain or the doors and windows are broken, the money spent on cultivation will be recorded. Also, if someone is invited to help in the future, the long-term, short-term, food, clothing, housing and transportation will also be recorded... In short, the more detailed the account book, the better. Of course, it would be best to be concise and clear on the basis of details."

Yang Fu's face turned pale and said, "Miss, what you said is true? To be honest, I have done the matter of accounting. I won't say it right or wrong. I won't even write some words just. If I have to go more in the future... it will be really hard for me."

Li Zaoer smiled at him comfortably and said, "Brother Yang, don't be in a hurry. What I'm talking about is the future. Fortunately, this shop is small, so it's okay to take your time. In the future, Brother Yang will do more, and practice will make perfect, and it will be easy to make it. Besides, our shop will only have a hundred kinds of things to say more. It's just a way to write a name of an object in three days, which is enough for a year."

Yang Fu was a little relieved, and looked at Li Zaoer with conscience and envy and said, "Miss is so amazing. Not only is she knowledgeable about books and principles, but she even understands business. No wonder the eldest master asked you to help me. Let me tell you one day, I will let the girl take care of this shop. I will just give it to the girl."

"He, I refuse to give this shop to me. Besides, even if I give it up, I don't want it." Li Zaoer said, suddenly remembering something and said, "Don't he come to this shop often? Why did I never see him after coming here several times."

Yang Fu said in surprise: "No, the young master has been here all the time these days." He thought for a while and said: "But it seems that when the young master came, it was probably at night, and you are not here, girl. Let's say, he came the day before yesterday."

Li Zaoer said "Oh". The day before yesterday, because Li Fu brought Xu Hongjiao back to the Li family, she was not here, which was reasonable. However, according to Yang Fu's words, Yun Chaoyang has been here at night these days, which sounds a bit strange.

"Miss, do you have something to look for the young master?" Yang Fu said.

Li Zaoer hesitated for a moment and asked: "When he came these days, did he look good?"

Yang Fu felt that Li Zaoer asked a little strangely, "It's pretty good, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Since Yang Fu said that Yun Chaoyang looked good, that means that after the wedding day, Feng Yuelan and Yun Chaoyang did not cause trouble for him, Li Zaoer was relieved and thought about business matters again, "By the way, the rouge I bought last time seems to have been sold out, right?"

"Yes! I was about to talk about this, how did the girl know?" Yang Fu looked at Li Zaoer in surprise and asked in confusion.

"A account book! Once the quantity and total price are checked, you will understand. This is the benefit of accounting." Li Zaoer said: "Even if you understand the simplest account book, if you look at it, you can know the operating conditions of this shop at a glance."

Yang Fu said in admiration: "With the girl's wish, will I add some more rouge? Or?"

Li Zaoer smiled and said, "Brother Yang is now the shopkeeper of this shop, so she just made her own decision. But..." She touched her face, looked at the light red color on her fingers, and frowned and said, "It's just that I have used this rouge for a few days, and I always feel that it's not as good as the rumor. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell in a while."

Yang Fu subconsciously looked at Li Zaoer's face, and saw that her cheeks were light red and delicate and moist. Although he had seen other girls dyed rouge, he just felt that applying them on Li Zaoer's face was different from others, and it was more cute and charming. After just one look, he became flustered, hurriedly closed his eyes, lowered his head, and murmured: "I think that this is a small shop, and those who come to buy this rouge are all girls from ordinary families. You can get through this. They don't have the vision of girls."

Li Zaoer felt that it was not very good when she heard this. She looked at Yang Fu in confusion. Just as she was about to ask in detail, suddenly the door sounded, Xiaoling rushed in straight and grabbed her hand, put her face closer, and showed her one left and one right, "Sister Zaoer, look, are you good looking?"

Xiaoling looks well-behaved, has big eyes, is innocent and naive, and is as Yun Chaoyang said. She is a good girl, and Li Zaoer likes her very much. Therefore, although she has known each other for a short time, the two of them are already very close.

"Xiaoling! What's good and good-looking!" Yang Fu rushed in when he saw Xiaoling not knocking on the door, and said with a slight face: "Miss and I are talking to you, why are you coming in? Also, if you are not asking you to look at the shop, you run in, what should you do if the guests come!"

"It's already noon, and the guests have gone to have dinner. Where are there people?" Xiaoling was afraid of her brother, so she just took Li Zaoer's hand and asked in a stack of voices: "Is it good? Is it good?"

Although Yang Fu didn't understand what Xiaoling was asking, Li Zaoer saw it at a glance, looked at Xiaoling's face carefully, and said in surprise: "Xiaoling, your rouge... is not the kind in the shop."

"Of course not!" Xiaoling grimaced at Yang Fu proudly and said to Li Zaoer: "Brother said that it was something from the shop and I didn't let me use it, so I had to make it myself!"

Xiaoling was vague, but Li Zaoer understood it. She thought that Xiaoling saw the shop selling rouge and wanted to use it, but Yang Fu refused. She looked at Yang Fu and thought that Yun Chaoyang was indeed not wrong, but just a box of small rouge. Whether it was lost or broken, it could be overwhelmed. Even if she said it was given to Xiaoling, no one would say anything. But Yang Fu did things in a stern manner, which meant that he should be trustworthy.

"You girl, the things on the shop belong to the young master, how can we move casually!" Yang Fu was helpless and had no choice but to do this sister. At this time, he heard someone outside calling the shopkeeper to buy things, so he hurried out.

After Yang Fu went out, Li Zaoer pulled Xiaoling and sat down, and asked, "You made this rouge yourself?"

"Yes! I made it from pomegranate flowers." Xiaoling took a small box and handed it to Li Zaoer and said, "This year the pomegranate flowers bloomed early, so I tried to make some by myself. Sister Zaoer, do you see, are they better than sold in the shop?"

Li Zaoer opened the box and saw that there was only a few layers inside. She carefully dipped it a little and applied it evenly on the back of her hand. After looking carefully, she smelled it again and said, "It's not very delicate, but the color is good. It's not as bright as other people, but it looks like..." She looked closer and said, "Xiaoling, have you ginseng something else? Although the pomegranate flowers are a little orange-red, you are a little yellow. At first glance, they look like an apricot."

"Sister Zaoer has a really sharp eye. I just think the pomegranate flowers are too red. When they are painted like a bride, they add some yellow wild flowers. I don't know what kind of flowers it is. Anyway, the last one is this color." Xiaoling smiled and asked, "Sister Zaoer, you also say something. Is it better than the ones in the shop?"

Li Zaoer nodded and smiled, "To be honest, it's really better. I like this color too. But it's just a little too few. How did you do it should be quite troublesome, right?"

"I use the native method, which is to crush the flowers, filter out the residue with fine sand, dry the juice, and drip a little oil... In fact, if you use osmanthus oil, it will be fragrant when you apply it." Xiaoling said while measuring, "There are only a little bits of pomegranate flowers."

Li Zaoer was a little interested and asked again: "You said this is a native method, so is there any other way to make rouge?"

Xiaoling nodded and said, "Yes, but it's too troublesome. I didn't remember it after hearing it."

"Who did you hear?" Li Zaoer asked hurriedly.

"My grandmother, it's a pity that she has passed away." Xiaoling lowered her head sadly and said, "Grandmother is very powerful. She can make all kinds of rouge and powder by herself."

"Is that right..." Li Zaoer thought about it. Indeed, there was no need to be modern in ancient times. There was no factory or assembly line. Everything, including rouge and water powder, was made by hand. In other words, as long as she knew the method and had the raw materials, she could also make it.

Li Zaoer calculated the small box of rouge in her hand. As far as she knew, compared to food and clothing, rouge was not many people bought in the countryside, so no one in the town made rouge specifically. They usually bought goods from outside and sold them. Apart from travel expenses and freight, they actually couldn't make much money.

But on the other hand, there is not much no need for rouge, which means there is no need for a lot of manpower. If she can master the methods and have cheap raw materials, she can make enough amounts needed by herself as the women nearby. And there is no need for travel or freight, or she can earn more...

Just as he was excited, Yang Fu suddenly took someone into the house and said, "Girl, someone from the Qian family is looking for you."

"Qian Family? Second Brother?" Li Zaoer looked suspiciously at the young man dressed in a servant behind Yang Fu and asked, "Are you?"

"Little Han Shuang, the young master asked me to invite the girl to go home quickly." Han Shuang bowed and said.

"Go home?" Li Zaoer felt a sudden blow and stood up and said, "What happened to the family?"

Han Shuang quickly glanced at Li Zaoer, lowered her head and said, "The young master seems to say, the girl's third brother... has left the book."
