Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Bai Jie was doing the accounting in the store. She was flipping through the ledger with one hand and doing calculations with the other.

The abacus beads under her hands seemed to come alive, jumping up and down, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, making a rhythmic and crisp sound, which was not only pleasing to the eye, but also very pleasant to the ears.

It's a pity that she is the only one who appreciates it.

With the addition of Tong Fu, Zong Ren and a group of down-and-out Eight Banners nobles,

Nowadays, the work in the junk recycling store is very easy. Teacher Bai only needs to be responsible for accounting and recording the goods. Niu Longtai and the others are responsible for the rest.

Nowadays, at least about 200 old items are recovered every day.

Sometimes I get lucky, or there is a big fair or temple fair, and the number is even greater. It happens once in a thousand.

So far, the junk recycling shop has recovered more than 10,000 old items one after another, and the corresponding expenses have also reached a shocking amount!

"Pah, pah, pah... pah..."

Teacher Bai fiddled with his right hand again, a few beads jumped, and finally settled there.

Looking at the numbers displayed on the abacus...

Teacher Bai's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide, her red lips pursed slightly, her eyes a little worried.

'Oh My God! ! Sixty-eight thousand, five hundred and nineteen yuan... so much has been spent...'

"Sigh~~"

Teacher Bai sat there, looking at the account book in a daze.

"Hey! Who are you thinking of? So devoted!"

Ok?

Teacher Bai suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, smiled sweetly, stood up and walked over, "Why are you here?"

"I missed you, so I came." Wu Youde said.

Even though she knew she was trying to coax her, Teacher Bai was still very happy. She smiled gently and hurried to pour tea.

"Sit down first and drink jasmine? I don't have Dahongpao here."

Teacher Bai usually likes to drink jasmine tea, so this is the only one in this store.

Wu Youde didn't care. He said casually: "It's okay. Is it cold? Let me drink something. I'm dying of thirst. It's really hot today."

He came here directly from Xinhua Bookstore.

He was not disappointed that he could not find any books on making brushes.

This is actually normal. Today is not the future. There are many tool books in major bookstores, covering all walks of life.

In this day and age, this is impossible.

No matter what the skill is, at this time, it is all about the inheritance from master to apprentice, from father to son, from apprentice to apprentice, and from son to son.

In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation.

If you write a book and sell it in bookstores, wouldn't it be equivalent to advertising your skills in housekeeping and spreading it throughout the world?

If you have learned everything, how can you expect to eat?

Therefore, at present, there are probably no books on tools such as how to make brushes. There are many masters who can make brushes, but no one is willing to publish them.

Then Wu Youde had to find another way, so he thought of Niu Longtai, and then rode straight to the junk recycling store. It was not a close journey. It was May again and it was really hot today.

Dry mouth.

Teacher Bai made a cup of tea, turned around and saw that Wu Youde was sweating on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is, but it's just what I drank."

"Then bring it quickly."

Teacher Bai took his cup over, and Wu Youde took it and drank all the tea in one breath. It was refreshing and sweet, making him feel comfortable all over.

"happy!"

Wu Youde only felt that the heat in his body was greatly relieved.

Seeing that he didn't dislike her, Teacher Bai felt even better and was very happy. She went to get a basin of water again, soaked her handkerchief, and then twisted it slightly.

Come over and wipe Wu Youde's face.

The movements are gentle and careful.

Wu Youde sat there, motionless like an old man, only responsible for enjoying himself and not caring about anything else.

Teacher Bai wiped his face, neck, and hands twice, and changed the water twice before finishing the work.

After wiping, Wu Youde finally didn't feel hot anymore and felt much more comfortable.

He turned around and looked around the room. The shop faced north and south, facing the sun, and there were two large windows with plenty of light.

The space in the room is not small, more than thirty square meters.

It's okay to sit in this room now, it's not particularly hot, but in a month it will be June, how hot will it be in this south-facing, sunny room...

That’s conceivable!

Wu Youde said: "Go back to the power station to pull out the wires, connect everything here with electricity, and buy two fans so that you can stay here more comfortably.

Otherwise, it’s too hot! "

Teacher Bai smiled and nodded and said yes, feeling sweet in his heart.

She took a fan and fanned the tea for Wu Youde to help the tea cool down quickly. She asked curiously: "What's the matter with you?"

"Oh, let's wait until Lao Niu comes back. I'll find him." Wu Youde said.

Teacher Bai said again: "Then let me tell you something."

"talk."

"Do you know how much we have spent collecting these old items so far?"

Wu Youde shook his head: "I don't know, how much?"

Teacher Bai gave him a sideways look and said angrily: "I knew you definitely didn't know."

"Haha, as long as you are here, why should I care so much?" Wu Youde said it as a matter of course.

Teacher Bai said with a smile: "You are quite reasonable...then listen carefully...sixty-eight thousand, five hundred and nineteen and a half yuan!"

After saying that, she looked at Wu Youde and remained silent.

I saw Wu Youde and said, "Oh," but there was nothing more to say.

"Don't you want to say something?" Teacher Bai asked.

"say what?"

Wu Youde was a little confused. After thinking about it, he asked, "Oh, how many things have we collected?"

"Eleven thousand three hundred and seventy-eight pieces, including porcelain, gold and silverware, lacquerware, jade, rare books of calligraphy and painting, bronzeware, woodware, etc." Teacher Bai said.

"Oh, more than eleven thousand."

Wu Youde smacked his lips a few times and said lightly: "Isn't this good? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Teacher Bai: "..."

She was speechless, put down the fan in her hand, and turned to look at Wu Youde seriously.

"This is more than 68,000 yuan, not 6,800 yuan!"

"I know, I'm not deaf."

"...No, I mean...I mean...should we continue to collect it?"

"Collect it! Why don't you collect it! As long as it's good stuff, we won't refuse anyone who comes. We'll collect as much as you can!"

Teacher Bai frowned and said worriedly: "But this expenditure is too high. Can we afford it in the long run?

It would be fine if these old objects could bring us returns, but... there is no return. How can there be any reason to keep investing in business without generating profits? "

It really doesn't make sense.

But Wu Youde cannot say that it will take at least another fifty years for these old objects to generate returns, which will only make Teacher Bai even more worried.
