I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang's guards brought in four wooden boxes and placed them next to Yang Mingxi.

Yang Mingxi asked mysteriously, "Guess how much money we made today?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Yang Mingjiang spoke first: "At first I still remembered it in my mind, but later I forgot about it when I got busy. But I think it's quite a lot, right?"

Yang Minghu also nodded and said, "I estimate the cold noodles should be more than 50 taels."

Yang Minghe smiled and said, "Fried chicken should make the least money, I estimate it's around 10 taels."

Yang Minghai scratched his head and said, "We should have sold about 12 taels of fried potatoes today. I calculated it by kilogram."

Yang Mingxi clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Not bad, I've got the rough estimate. Now let's start counting the money! Let's start with the fried chicken!"

Lu Jintang's secret guard picked up a wooden box and poured all the silver and money onto the large square table in front of them.

Yang Mingxi said, "100 coins per string, string them together with a rope, and the two of you will check each other. Let's begin now!"

Lu Jintang reached out and picked up the scattered silver coins in there. After taking a look, he found that they were all worth one penny of silver. There were 17 of them, totaling one ounce and seven pennies.

Lu Jintang took out a notebook and wrote a lot in it. Yang Mingxi leaned over and looked at it for a while before realizing that he was recording the money he earned from selling fried chicken today.

Yang Mingxi shook her head, pulled the notebook from Lu Jintang's hand, and tore up what he had just written. Then she said to Lu Jintang, "I told you to write it. What you wrote is too complicated."

Lu Jintang glanced at Yang Mingxi in confusion. Isn't it true that when people keep accounts, the more complex they are, the better, and the clearer they are, the better? Why did Yang Mingxi find it too complicated? My own account was already very simple!

Lu Jintang complained to himself in his heart, nodded, and started to record again according to what Yang Mingxi said.

Yang Mingxi: "Fried chicken, then change careers, one tael and seven cents, and then change careers again." Yang Mingxi stood up and pointed at the notebook and Lu Jintang as he spoke.

"Every time we collect money, we will write down the amount received. Do this every time and then calculate the total at the end." Yang Mingxi continued, pointing to the bottom of the notebook.

After a while, Yang Mingjiang and Yang Mingyong came over to pay, two taels each, a total of four taels.

Yang Minghu and Yang Mingyang were in the same group and also came to pay, two taels each, for a total of four taels.

Yang Minghe and Yang Mingbo were in the same group and had also come to pay, along with Yang Minghai and Yang Mingyu.

Yang Mingxi pointed at the notebook and told Lu Jintang: "You must remember to collect one and record the quantity. Then arrange them in a row so that it will be convenient to calculate the total amount at the end."

One teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, the two of them sit and stand, and they seem very harmonious.

After the others counted the remaining silver and money on the table, they all looked at the two people who were standing close to each other, and suddenly a different feeling arose in their hearts.

The girl taught attentively, while the boy learned patiently. The atmosphere between them was filled with warmth and harmony. This harmonious scene gave everyone present a sense of peace and security.

Yang Mingxi watched Lu Jintang write down the eight taels of silver he had just handed over. Looking at Lu Jintang's sonorous and powerful handwriting, she stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, she did not try to be stubborn and write it herself. Compared with other people's handwriting, her own handwriting was still far behind.

Yang Mingxi raised her head and said, "We've counted all the fried chicken, and put the whole bunches together. The remaining odds will be recorded separately."

Finally, there were two taels and three qian of silver and 85 big coins, which means that the fried chicken was sold for a total of 12 taels and 85 big coins.

Yang Mingxi asked Lu Jintang to write "Total: 85 wen" at the end.

Yang Mingxi pointed at the notebook and said, "Write the rest like this. First write the name of the matter, then write the amount of money one by one, and then just summarize it at the end."

Lu Jintang was amazed. This method was too simple. If it was used to record marches and battles, it would be amazing.

Although Lu Jintang's heart was turbulent, she tried to keep herself calm. She smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said, "Okay, I understand. Next, fried potatoes."

At this time, the secret guard poured all the money earned from the fried potatoes onto the table. Everyone began to carefully count the money, trying to figure out how much the fried potatoes were sold for.

They stared intently at the silver on the table, their fingers flicking gently, carefully counting every copper coin and silver change. The room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.

After a while, the money for the fried potatoes was counted, and it was about the same as the money for the fried chicken, a total of twelve taels, six qian and forty-eight coins.

After counting the money for the fried potatoes, they started counting the money for the cold noodles. Yang Mingxi roughly calculated and found that the silver money for the cold noodles was indeed the amount Yang Minghu said.

100 jin of pea flour and broad bean flour can each make at least 600 jin of jelly and zhuazhuafen. Based on the ratio of four bowls per jin, these two will cost taels and qian of silver.

Noodles are made of 300 kilograms of flour, and rice noodles are made of 10 kilograms of rice. One kilogram of flour makes 15 bowls of noodles, and one kilogram of rice makes 18 bowls of rice noodles. So noodles cost 50 taels of silver, and rice noodles cost taels of silver, which is really about taels.

After a while, everyone figured it out: fifty taels, eight qian, and sixty-four wen. Everyone gasped in amazement, expressing their disbelief.

Yang Mingxi glanced at everyone without saying a word. Seeing that Lu Jintang had finished recording, he started counting the last item of cold food skewers.

When Lu Jintang's secret guard poured out the silver and money from the wooden box, everyone present gasped.

Yang Mingjiang felt there should be a lot of silver, but he hadn't expected it to be so much. Not only was the amount four or five times the amount of the cold noodles, it filled the entire table and was spilling over the edges, forcing everyone to quickly block it with their hands. Furthermore, the number of silver coins was significantly higher this time, almost half the total, and there were also several five-liang silver ingots.

It was still the same. Lu Jintang was the one who counted the silver coins. He was more familiar with the weight of silver.

After a while, Lu Jintang said, "One 10 tael piece, 34 180 tael pieces, a total of taels."

Then they began to count the silver coins. Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang counted together, and finally counted out 3,124 silver coins, each worth one qian of silver, for a total of 312 taels and 4 qian of silver.

Yang Mingjiang and his team also counted it out, the total was 78 taels, 6 qian and 64 wen.

Lu Jintang finished recording, took a breath and said, "Everyone, please sit down. I will announce the amount of silver and money for today."

Yang Mingxi said, "Wait a moment, go call your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and all the others over here! Let's listen together!"

After hearing this, Old Man Yang, who was sitting nearby, said, "There's no need to call them. They're just helping out. The people sitting here shouldn't know about this. This is a business between you, Xi, and the Lu family kid. They just need to be paid. Now that everyone knows about it, you can just talk to the people sitting here. The others can go back and tell their families!"

Lu Jintang stood up and said, "Grandpa, it's okay. Call them to come and listen, so that they don't pass on the message with other meanings. We are only cooperating on this business once, and we will discuss future cooperation later."

Old Man Yang looked at Lu Jintang and said with a smile, "Go quickly! Don't waste time. Tell them to put down what they are doing and come over quickly."

After a while, everyone came over.

陆锦棠开始说道：“炸鸡今天一共卖了十二两并85文，炸洋芋12两并648文，凉拌粉50两并864文，冷吃串571两并64文。”

Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at each other.

Yang Mingxi cleared his throat and said, "This is the gross profit, not including the cost. Fried potatoes probably cost the least. Three pounds for one coin. Not counting other things, the potatoes are less than 1 coin. All costs are 300 coin, which should be a 500-fold profit. So I think this business is worth doing."

Yang Mingxi looked at everyone and continued, "You can also make cold noodles. The cost is three taels of silver, and the other side dishes are at most one qian of silver. The cost is about three taels, and the profit is about 15 times. However, I definitely won't be able to make as much every day as today."

"We can also make fried chicken, but the requirements are relatively high. There must be sufficient supply. We can also make other things. The whole chicken must be utilized, and the profit is almost 12 times, which is also considerable." Yang Mingxi continued.

"As for the cold skewers, the cost is relatively the highest. Our cost this time is at least 50 taels, which is almost 10 times the profit. I plan to cooperate with Lu Jintang on this. For other businesses, you can think about what you are suitable for and what you can do, and you can choose to do it. If you don’t understand anything, you can come to me." Yang Mingxi finished speaking.
