"Is it over so soon?"
The second young master swallowed a piece of cloud cake, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine next to him and took a sip.
"Well, my little ability to make a living makes the second young master laugh."
Suche actually calculated faster.
This account book contains only a few words per page, so the amount of information is actually quite limited. In order to pretend to be more mysterious, Suche even deliberately prolonged the conversation for a while.
"It's just amazing."
Now the second young master really looked at Su Che with admiration.
He had been looking through these four account books for a long time, but he could never tell them apart. Today, he brought them to Su Che. Firstly, he was trying to be polite, and secondly, he wanted to test this person's skills.
Sometimes when making acquaintance with a person, instead of offering small favors, it is better to come and ask for services.
Small favors may not really win people's hearts, and finding a reason to use them in the future may easily create resentment.
If you come to your door and ask for a job, if you get it done, the other party will think that they are being kind to you, and they will naturally relax their vigilance. And if it doesn't work out, he may have guilt in his heart that he can't detect. No matter how generous you are, things will become more familiar.
These twists and turns are Chang Kai's words and deeds to his son. Today, the second son is trying his best and is going to use it on "Ouyang Ke".
It doesn't matter, he was surprised when he used it.
This is too fast.
Suche took the pen and ink from the side.
"I wonder if I can draw it on it."
"certainly."
Suche took a pen and paper and started writing up and down the account book, making corrections and corrections in a smooth manner.
The four account books were quickly corrected, and Suche pushed these account books in front of the second young master.
"There are probably 23 problems that can be seen. The main reason is that the price deviation of crucian carp and carp is too large. Even if there is a gap in the collection, the difference is too big."
"Here it says that ten crucian carps are worth three hundred taels of platinum. How can we spend so much money? And here, five carps are worth twenty taels of platinum. The price difference between this carp and crucian carp is too big."
"Except for these theoretically unreasonable ones, I have probably sorted out the rest of the calculation errors."
Suche looked at the second young master in front of him.
"Second Young Master, you can take a good look back. There should be some mistakes made in the rush."
"It's out of the way."
The second young master nodded. This account book was originally a copy that he had ordered, and the words for many key items in it had been replaced with other words.
For example, yellow rice refers to gold, white rice refers to silver, green dates refer to copper coins, salted fish refers to salt, crucian carp refers to a young and beautiful girl, and carp refers to a strong young man.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story gets this account, they will only say that the Chang family in Licheng is indeed from a poor family. They must remember how many baskets of salted fish they bought and how much rice they received.
In fact, this is a detailed account list of the Licheng Chang family's transactions with Donghai in the past two years.
The East China Sea and the Middle Earth have never been two worlds separated by a natural barrier.
He carefully put away the four account books and smiled at Suche.
"Brother Ouyang is really talented. When I think of my previous abruptness, I really want to jump into the river and let the cold water wash away my lard-stained heart."
"Second Young Master is polite, but it's just some small craftsmanship to make a living. Besides, those things before are all human nature, and the world is like this. It would be unworthy of the family that Second Young Master does not ask questions. Alas, if I can be as careful as Second Young Master, and Why have we fallen into this situation?"
"Brother Ouyang is good at calculations. He will definitely be able to prosper in the future, so why worry about the gains and losses at this moment."
He said and poured another glass of rice wine for Suche.
Suche raised the rice wine next to him and took a sip. It was made from sweet-scented osmanthus and had a slight sweetness in his mouth.
If you drink it after cooling it, the taste should be very delicious.
The two chatted for a while, Su Che was insinuating, while the second young master was giving guidance.
After going back and forth, Su Che probably had a clear picture of the Chang family's situation in Licheng.
After contacting the information previously obtained, a rough idea was gradually derived.
This Licheng Chang family is indeed from the line of disciples of the old lion.
When the Lion Green Lotus Tathagata was appointed as the national preceptor of the former dynasty, he naturally recruited a large number of disciples, including the ancestors of the Chang family in Licheng.
But when the old lion disappeared halfway into the sea while traveling eastward, his disciples were roughly divided into three categories.
The first type of people traveled eastward to search for teachers, which can be regarded as the origin of the "Kulin Zen Temple" in Shanyin County.
One type of people travels westward to seek the Dharma. Since the support of China has fallen, they will go to the west. There is a large coffin temple in Xitu, so going there is a way out.
There is also a group of people who simply return to secular life, such as the Chang family in Licheng. At that time, his family's ancestors also followed him to Kulin Zen Temple, but later he didn't know whether he saw some clues or was moved by ordinary thoughts, so he simply returned to secular life.
After returning to secular life, I still had some of the dharma I practiced back then, so I started to punch here and there and stretch my legs here and there, gradually building a family business.
Of course, the ancestor did not forget to take one of the nine pages of the golden book before escaping, and left this big secret to future generations.
But recently, for some unknown reason, several big things happened at home.
First of all, the ancestral treasure was taken away by the ancestor of the family, saying that there was some secret event, and then the ancestor just disappeared without a trace.
It caused a lot of uproar in the house.
At the same time, I don't know which enemies I have provoked in the past few generations, and they have targeted the Licheng Chang family. Recently, they have been quite vicious, making the Licheng Chang family feel a little bit of a crisis.
The ancestor disappeared, and enemies came to visit.
The two things were mixed together, and Chang Kai couldn't help but make few plans.
Therefore, further actions were taken under the planning of the contemporary family head.
If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?
Originally, in Middle-earth, they were just a wealthy and poor family, with nothing to miss. Now that the situation is unclear, it is better to find another way out.
They want to move to Donghai.
If we can find an opportunity, we will take root in the East China Sea. If that doesn't work, just wait until the limelight passes and then move back to Middle-earth.
Anyway, there is no way to go back to Licheng.
As for the relationship at home, it's actually easy to talk about.
The Chang family in Licheng has always been small in population, with only the head of the family and one other uncle in his generation.
Therefore, in order to inherit and strengthen the family business, the head of the family at that time first adopted an adopted son. The person who rescued "Ouyang Ke" before was his adopted son.
The second young master in front of him was the father's biological son. In addition, the father also had a fourteen-year-old daughter, who was also on the boat this time, but Su Che had not seen it.
The adopted son Chang Qi took care of a lot of business for the Chang family on weekdays. He was the most generous and popular person. Originally, the head of the family, Chang Kai, was an excessive figure created for the sake of the family business, but now he has a vague sense of being too big to lose.
Facing this elder brother, the second young master was under great mental pressure.
Although he knew in his heart that the Chang family's property in Licheng would belong to him sooner or later, he couldn't bear to have such a hero wandering around in front of him every day.
Coupled with the fact that the head of the family, Chang Kai, has been quite ambiguous recently, the second young master has become increasingly gloomy.
After comparing the two accounts and understanding the secrets inside, the second young master happily said goodbye to Suche.
Suche estimated that this account contained mostly evidence against Chang Qi and Chang Heitan.
Otherwise, this sinister second young master would not act so happy.
Suche didn't care about the bad things going on in Chang's family in Licheng.
But I suddenly thought, could this be regarded as an inadvertent act of "repaying kindness with hatred"?
Nothing happened all night.
The Chang family's boat in Licheng drifted along the winding river, and it was quiet at night.
However, a few nocturnal water ghosts touched the side of the ship in the middle of the night and were repelled by the vigilant Chang family sailors.
There was also a monster that followed for seven or eight miles, seemingly wanting to cause trouble, but finally gave up.
Suche slept peacefully like a normal person.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, a servant from Chang's family in Licheng came to call the door and brought hot water for washing my face and breakfast in a food box.
A plate of salted fish, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of white porridge, and two boiled chickens.
Although it cannot be called exquisite, it is not easy for a ship.
As for why he ate in the room, Suche naturally knew that this was a rule in the world.
As a person with unknown origins like himself boarded the ship halfway, according to the rules, he should stay in the room honestly and not cause any more trouble to the host family.
When strangers meet each other, each of them should keep a certain amount of money. This is human nature.
What else is there to say?
Just be grateful.
Suche finished the meal hastily and got back into bed to catch up on some sleep.
This is also the reason why we boarded the Chang family's ship.
He honestly plays the role of a businessman in trouble, safely evading possible detectives along the way.
Unfortunately, it didn't work as expected. Not long after, a servant came to say hello and asked Suche to work overtime.
"Oh, I don't know what it is?"
Suche straightened his sleeves and asked suddenly.
"There are a few cultivators who are causing trouble. I don't want to conflict with them, so I asked Mr. Ouyang to go up and deal with it."
