Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 132 Ledger

Jiang Ci ran back to the room from the kitchen and touched her hair. It was okay, just a little rained.

The wind blew over, and Jiang Ci couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly.

It’s a bit cold now. Every autumn rain brings a chill.

Before closing the door, Jiang Ci saw the leaves outside falling due to the wind and rain.

Jiang Ci lit a candle and placed it on the desk, then took the account book from the corner of the desk.

Jiang Ci felt a bit overwhelmed when looking at the account books of the soap factory.

He didn't even dare to think about how long it would take to look at these account books if he only looked at them once a year.

But it's also his fault because he keeps accounts so casually.

When he first started keeping accounts, he just wrote them down on paper. Later, when he had too many, he was afraid that they would be lost or too messy, so he sewed them together with needle and thread.

Looking at the first page, all that was recorded was the initial expenses they incurred when they built the soap factory.

At that time, when the money had not yet been earned back, Jiang Ci did not even dare to look at the previous accounts. The huge expenditures were so dizzying.

Now that I have more money, I make a lot of money every time I sell a batch of soap. Looking back at these accounts now, I am very happy about them. They are all the profits from my investment.

Jiang Ci read two pages and felt that his accounting was really inappropriate.

He drew a vertical line in the middle of a piece of paper and wrote in two columns. The words were neat, sloppy, and of different sizes.

Monthly expenses, income and total profits are written at the bottom and are not noticeable.

Jiang Ci took out some white paper from the drawer. He wanted to re-calculate the accounts.

Drawing it in the form of a table is not only beautiful but also convenient for accounting, so it is also easy to check every year.

There were two knocks on the door. "Brother Ci, can I come in?"

It was Lin Jingxuan's voice.

The door was not locked, Jiang Ci shouted directly, "Xuanxuan, come in quickly."

Jiang Ci saw through the door that Lin Jingxuan opened that it was raining heavily outside and there was no telling when the rain would stop.

Lin Jingxuan walked in, closed the oil-paper umbrella, placed it beside the door, and closed the door.

Jiang Ci saw that Lin Jingxuan had put on another piece of clothing.

Lin Jingxuan came to Jiang Ci and said, "I was so bored, so I came to see what Brother Ci was doing?"

"I'm sorting out the soap factory's accounts. Xuanxuan, come over and look at it with me."

"What does this write, Brother Ci?"

Lin Jingxuan was pointing at the Arabic numerals written by Jiang Ci. He used Arabic numerals in both account books, which were convenient to write and read.

"It's a simple way of writing numbers from one to ten."

Jiang Ci took another piece of paper and wrote the corresponding Arabic numerals from one to ten together with the Chinese characters.

"that's it."

After Jiang Ci finished writing, Lin Jingxuan looked at the Arabic numerals in the account book he had written and everything became clear to her.

"This method is really good. I don't have to write so many words, and I can write faster."

"But there is a disadvantage as well. The accounts can be easily altered."

Jiang Ci was like the number one on the paper. "This one can be easily changed to seven, and this zero is even easier to change. However, I keep the account book myself, so I don't have this concern."

"So will our soap factory need to look for an accountant in the future?"

"I need to find it. There will be other businesses in the future, and I can't keep accounts for these by myself."

Lin Jingxuan took the pen made of carbon stick on the table and wrote and drew on the paper.

Jiang Ci finished recording a month's accounts, put down his brush and flexed his wrists.

When asked why Jiang Ci didn't use charcoal pencil, Jiang Ci actually wanted to use it because if he wrote with charcoal pencil, the words would easily be rubbed and faded.

This account book needs to be kept for a long time, so it cannot be written with carbon pencil.

"Brother Ci, I have a good idea."

"Well, what's a good idea? Tell me about it."

"Even if you find an accountant in the future, Brother Ci can ask him to use your current method to record."

Lin Jingxuan pointed at the numbers he wrote and said, "Let them write the original accounting words under these numbers. This way, the account book will be quick to check."

Jiang Ci thought this method was really good.

"Xuanxuan's idea is great. Why didn't I think of it before?"

In this way, every expenditure and income will be clearly visible when checking the accounts, and there will be no need to worry about the accounts being changed later by attaching the text below.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but praise, "Xuanxuan is really amazing."

Lin Jingxuan felt embarrassed by Jiang Ci's praise, "I was just writing here for fun and found it by accident."

On the piece of paper, Lin Jingxuan drew several tables imitating Jiang Ci.

The table contains Arabic numerals on top and traditional Chinese characters below.

This is where the inspiration comes from.

"How is Xuanxuan doing with her literacy?"

"I know all the characters in the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic. They were all taught to me by my second and third brothers."

Jiang Ci took out a picture book he had seen before from a drawer and said, "There is a picture book here. Do you want to see it?"

"Okay."

Lin Jingxuan was looking at the sketchbook quietly on the side, while Jiang Ci was sorting out the account book. After sorting out the cost of soap, he took out the toothbrush and sorted it out like this.

After everything was done, Jiang Ci flipped through the neatly formatted forms with a sense of accomplishment.

"Where did Big Brother go? How did he get back in such heavy rain?"

As if to respond to what Lin Jingxuan said, a thunder was heard outside.

"Your eldest brother is in town doing some work. The rain should subside after a while."

The rain stopped after half an hour as Jiang Ci wished.

The sun came out quickly.

There were many leaves in the yard that were washed away by the heavy rain. Standing in the yard, you could smell the scent of soil and green leaves.

The air seemed to be purified, and Jiang Ci took a deep breath.

As soon as the rain stopped, Lin Jingsheng looked at the cloudless sky with the sun shining brightly, and knew that the rain would stop.

He rode the donkey cart towards home.

It was raining so heavily just now, and the dark clouds in the sky were so thick and dark, as if they would not stop until the clouds were all gone.

A Ci at home will definitely be worried about him, so he should hurry home.

The donkey clattered along the road, which was filled with water in the potholes after a heavy rain.

The cheap donkey is covered in mud.

Lin Jingsheng touched the fur on the donkey's back and said, "I'll wipe it for you when we get home."

The donkey made a sound, as if disdainful of his belated kindness.

Jiang Ci was washing vegetables in the yard. When she looked up, she saw Lin Jingsheng at the door.

How come he came and went so quickly? Could it be that he left before the rain stopped?

Jiang Ci put down the food in her hand and hurried over to see if Lin Jingsheng was wet.

Lin Jingsheng enjoyed letting his husband touch him all over his body.

"Don't worry, I'm not wet at all. I'm waiting for the rain to stop before I leave."

"Then why did you come back so soon?"

"I drove the donkey cart a little too fast, but if I didn't drive the donkey cart, I would have come back faster than this time."

"It's like you don't feel tired when you come back from driving a donkey cart."

"Okay, I know Ah Ci cares about me."
