256 Li Fan's Distress
Xiao Shengzi knew about the spring bamboo shoots, and remembered that he had personally asked Gu Xiaowan about it last time, but Gu Xiaowan only vaguely took it over, and did not say that Miao Er was making trouble.
With Gu Xiaowan's bearing, she couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
After the little guy told Xiao Shengzi about it, Xiao Shengzi didn't hide it, and quickly reported the matter to Li Fan. After Li Fan heard it, he was shocked and thought that Miao Er was such a small belly. The child is unhappy.
The carriage drove all the way to Liujiazhen, and Gu Xiaowan followed Xiaoshengzi to Jinfulou.
Qin Yezhi followed behind the carriage with a fast pace, and followed him all the way to the Jinfu Building. He didn't say hello to anyone, and went directly to the third floor.
Gu Xiaowan entered the Jinfu Building. Because it was closing time in the afternoon, there was no one else in the building except the second brother.
Xiao Shengzi led Gu Xiaowan to Li Fan's wing, knocked on the door, and Li Fan's displeased voice came from inside: "Come in."
After Xiao Shengzi heard the answer, he gently opened the door and led Gu Xiaowan in.
When Gu Xiaowan went in, she saw Li Fan looking at the ledger on the table with a sad face, sighing continuously.
"The shopkeeper, I brought Miss Gu here." Xiao Shengzi reported.
Only then did Li Fan look up from the account book, and seeing Gu Xiaowan, smiled: "Miss Gu is here."
This smile is very reluctant. It seems that this shopkeeper Li Fan has encountered something difficult.
"The shopkeeper, Miss Gu said she understands some calculations, let me bring her over to help you." Xiao Shengzi said quickly.
When Li Fan heard it, he was a little moved, but he didn't hold much hope: "Thank you Miss Gu, but the calculation is complicated. I'm afraid that Miss Gu doesn't know much about it."
Gu Xiaowan shook her head and reported to her family: "The shopkeeper, you didn't let me try it, how do you know I can't do it?"
Li Fan had already found several people who could settle accounts, but they were either uneducated or afraid of offending Miao Er, and they refused to tell the truth.
Li Fan hesitated and did not speak. , the eyebrows have not been stretched since the beginning.
"Boss Li, can you tell you what you have found now?" Gu Xiaowan went straight to the topic. Since Li Fan felt that there was something wrong with the account, he must have found something. He asked him what he thought, and let himself have a clue. Prepared mind.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan's confident appearance, Li Fan was a little touched. Every time Gu Xiaowan comes back to Jinfulou, it is the good news of Jinfulou. I don't know if she will come to help her in person this time, will she also have another village in the dark?
Thinking of this, Li Fan just thought to himself. People came to the door to help. Although he didn't quite believe that she would find anything, it was better to have multiple people and multiple assistants than those useless accountants.
"I went to Ruixian County for four months, and every month, Jinfulou only made a profit of more than 1,000 taels." Li Fan expressed his doubts: "Before I went, the average profit of the restaurant each month was average. There are more than 2,000 taels down, and in the past four months, every month is a big difference."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaowan nodded, and she knew in her heart why Li Fan was so strange.
If a restaurant is on the track of normal operation, the monthly profit should be about the same, but if the difference between the profit of the first month and the next month is too large, it has to be suspicious.
"However, I looked through the accounts. According to the usual point of view, there is no problem with this account at all. Moreover, Miao Er also said that the business in the restaurant has been bleak in the past few months, and it has been robbed by other restaurants next to it. Most of the business, so the profit is bleak. However, with my intuition that I have opened a restaurant for so many years..." Li Fan said this, his eyebrows turned into Sichuan characters, and he did not speak.
"You think Miao Er is lying!" Seeing that Li Fan didn't speak, Gu Xiaowan simply told what he didn't say.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan, Li Fan immediately guessed what was in his mind, and nodded: "Although I don't want to think so, after all, he has been by my side for several years, and since the opening of Jinfu Building, he has been working as an accountant in the building. Sir, apart from being unruly, there are no other shortcomings."
But this shortcoming is exposed as soon as you leave the restaurant. Gu Xiaowan muttered in her heart.
If this Miao Er really made a fuss on this account book, it would be an easy task.
500 taels of corruption in one month, 2,000 taels in four months, I have to say, this is an astronomical sum.
Even dead horses are treated as living horse doctors. Li Fan was helpless, but had some expectations, and handed the ledger in his hand to Gu Xiaowan.
Gu Xiaowan took over the account books. There were four books in total. The time was written on the cover of the account books. It seemed to be one book a month. Gu Xiaowan found a good place to settle accounts, and asked Xiao Shengzi to take some blank paper. Just counted up.
In ancient times, the accounts were easy to calculate, except that out was in.
For Gu Xiaowan, after a few glances, he could see the clue.
Li Fan sat on the side and rubbed his brows. During this time, he read this ledger every day, and people almost fell into the ledger and couldn't get out.
When she closed her eyes and rested for a while, she saw Gu Xiaowan stacking the last ledger on the side that had already been calculated.
"Boss Li, I'm done!" Gu Xiaowan put the pen in her hand and smiled at Li Fan who had just woken up.
Xiao Shengzi had just gone to the kitchen to ask the cook to make some soup, and was entering the door with the soup when he heard Gu Xiaowan's words.
"You're done?" Li Fan and Xiao Shengzi said in unison, staring at Gu Xiaowan with wide eyes, with disbelief on their faces.
Gu Xiaowan nodded at them, and then said to Li Fan, "Boss Li, your feeling is right. From these four books, I have calculated a total of 2,345 taels of deficit."
Li Fan was incredulous at first, but when he heard Gu Xiaowan's words later, he went from being incredulous at the beginning, to stunned, and finally, anger welled up in his heart, and snorted coldly, "This Miao Er..."
Li Fan knew that he wasn't in a hurry to find Miao Er, but when he saw Gu Xiaowan just dozing off, he settled the account, and was very curious: "Miss Gu, how did you calculate the account? Will you also settle the account?"
