Quark got a lot more than that. He also got respect, second base/hand on thigh, and a little bdsm. All in all, a good day.

You forgot:
- Got Klingon married
- ~~won~~ survived a duel with a (very angry) Klingon
- Trounced said Klingon with scathing financial evidence, disgracing him publicly
- Saved his wife's house (whole estate with social standing intact)
- Secured wife's place on the council
- Got Klingon divorced
No idea if he got to keep those furs.
An edit to the last point, as well as one more
- got amicably Klingon divorced (which is no mean feat)
- still on very good terms with the Klingon ex as far as we know
A glorious Ferengi day!
Yeah but tell us more about the ledgers
Ah yes, the ledgers.
Actuarial acrobatics so foul, that they are still talking of it on Feringinar to this day. The Klingons involved thought they had invented a new martial art by way of mathematics, and their deep fiscal wounds would be the stuff of song and wine in Stovokor. Unfortunately, it was a hilariously naked attempt at simple fraud. No double-books, no accumulation of rounding errors, no plausible line-items for non-existent goods, no money laundering, no elaborate fences, no nameless middlemen that aren't middlemen, no real subterfuge. Just plain, conventional, bad math and bogus prices. No, the legend persists not because of how brilliant a scam this was, but rather how something so simple almost toppled one of the greatest houses on Kronos; a practical bankruptcy for a Klingon! That is, until Quark came along and explained the deed in plain, simple, Federation Common tongue (ugh) so that even a baby could understand.
When you teach Gowron how to use Microsoft Excel
Look a ledgers?
DS9 episode called "The House of Quark", where he accidentally kills a drunk Klingon, is forced to marry the widow. The window's finances are a disaster, so he excitedly goes over all her finances, setting things in order (he enjoyed this part).
See @dejected_warp_core's comment for a more thorough set of events.
Thanks, I was confused by the grammar.
Is it just missing the t in at? I’m still confused.
Yeah, seems like it.
Oo-mox p'takhs.
