Chapter Twenty-Seven: People Are Fat and Bullied
Although Wa'er hasn't finished counting yet, he trusts Liang Sheng very much, since Liang Sheng is right, Wa'er has already been impressed by her, and he is anxious to know how she can figure it out so quickly, so he immediately obediently went to fetch a bowl of water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She dipped her fingers in some water, then drew on the table and said, "There are four people at one table, and forty people at ten tables." A bowl of wontons per person costs two yuan, and two times forty is eighty yuan, and six of them added half a bowl of three yuan, and each bowl is one more than two yuan, which is a total of six yuan more. A scholar eats a meal for nothing, and then subtracts two cents, which should be eighty plus six and then subtract two, and the public is eighty-four cents. But our table should not be counted in the first place, so we will calculate it from the beginning, multiply it by nine and multiply it by two plus six and subtract two to get seventy-six dollars, and finally add one or two silver to our table, which is one tael of silver and seventy-six dollars. ”
Because she wanted to demonstrate to them, she wrote down every step of addition, subtraction and multiplication on the table, simple and clear, but smart as Liang Sheng and Wa'er looked at those symbols that were "cross", "one" and "fork", and their faces were also confused, not to mention pears and plums.
didn't wait for Liang Sheng or Wa'er to ask, but she had already stretched out her hand to wipe away those traces, and said with a smile: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it." I'm not in a hurry to teach you so much today. You still have to start with the basics. ”
Next, Wa'er diligently learned from her how to use the "cross" and "one word" to calculate addition and subtraction within three digits, and Wa'er will learn it as soon as she learns. She handed in more Wa'er 99 multiplication table. This is a little difficult, and the baby can't remember it once. It's a pity that there is no paper and pen on this stall, so she said that she will go back tonight and write it to the baby, and let the pears be sent to the stall tomorrow morning.
The last assignment she gave to the baby was that he should memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table before she came to see him the next time.
When they left the wonton stall, the Lu couple thanked her again, and even the baby was reluctant to give up on her, and told her to come back soon.
Liang Sheng looked at her with a smile, and she was also very proud. Wa'er is really not a bear child, so she was subdued, and even replaced Liang Sheng's highest "teacher" status in Wa'er's heart, of course she has a sense of accomplishment. It's just that the price seems a bit high.
Carrying the only thirty taels of silver tickets left in her pocket, plus the nine taels left on the pears and plums, she suddenly regretted that she had just gone out and half of the silver was gone. She didn't regret that the fifty taels and twenty taels were spent proudly, and she did two good deeds, but she ......
Looking at the novel gadgets on the street, just a few pennies a piece, she liked it, but she just stepped forward to take a closer look, and didn't dare to spend any more money. It's not good if you really see something you like later, but you have already spent all the money. What she regrets the most is that she didn't get back another hundred taels from Erniang yesterday.
Before they knew it, Central Street was walked from the end of the General's Mansion to this end. As soon as you look up, you will see the majestic gate of the city wall, guarded by dozens of officers and soldiers. From time to time, people enter and leave the city gates, but they are also free to see no obstacles.
"Do you want to go out of the city and have a look?" Liang Sheng asked when he saw her staring straight at the city gate.
She shook her head and said, "Next time, just walk around the city today." This capital is so big, and there are still a lot of places I haven't visited, right?"
Speaking of this, she noticed that Meizi was also staring at the city gate, and there was a stronger friendship in her eyes. And Meizi also peeked at her from time to time, and stopped talking several times, but she didn't say anything.
"You want to go out of town and see?" she asked, already thinking about it.
Meizi was overjoyed, but she shook her head hesitantly when she met her smiling gaze, and after a while, she asked with some expectation, "Miss, you really don't want to go out of the city to see?"
"I said, I won't go out of the city this time, just walk around the city. The smile in her eyes deepened, and after the disappointed look in Meizi's eyes grew thicker, she said, "But if you want to go, you can go and see your family yourself." ”
Meizi was stunned for a moment, and didn't wait to thank her.
She suddenly raised her hand and said, "Take out my money and return it to me." And give me your own fanny pack, too. ”
"Huh?" Meizi was dumbfounded, still obedient, and took out the cloth bag in her arms for the first time and handed it to her, but hesitated when she reached for her wallet at her waist. These are all the monthly salaries she has accumulated by herself. This time I brought it out thinking that maybe there was a chance...... The eldest lady wants it too?
She didn't care about Meizi's dodge, she handed her cloth bag to Pear with one hand, and snatched Meizi's small money bag with the other. When I grabbed it, I opened it on the spot, and I saw that it was really full of a lot of money.
"Tsk, Meizi, you have a lot of little coffers. As she spoke, she turned her head and took Pear's hand to unpack her cloth bag, "Don't be afraid, I'm not trying to rob you." Just wanted to exchange something with you. ”
"Huh?" Umeko couldn't say anything against it.
She took out a large handful of copper coins from Meizi's purse, and Meizi looked distressed. But as soon as she turned around, she put the copper coins she had taken out of the plum bag and put them in her own bag, but she took out all the broken silver from her bag and threw them into the small silver bag that was much shriveled by the plums.
"Whew!" she explained, tying Meizi's purse back into Meizi's hand, "I've just taken a fancy to a lot of novelty gadgets along the street, ranging from a few pennies to a dozen pennies. I'll exchange some copper coins with you for silver, and I'll spend it more conveniently later. ”
"But...... "No matter how stupid Meizi is, she knows how much silver she has in her bag." Looking at a lot, in fact, the total total is only one or two silver and less than a hundred copper coins, all of which are the monthly stipends she has accumulated in March and April after this year, and the broken silver is still a reward for every maid in the house when Erniang was happy to give it to every maid in the house during the New Year. A tael of silver is worth a hundred copper coins. The young lady snatched a large handful of copper coins from her bag, but did not take all her copper coins, but gave her four taels of silver.
The young lady originally had five taels of silver in her bag, but she had just given one or two to the wonton stall, and the pear had only grabbed half of the copper coins when she shared some of them. At this time, the young lady gave her all her broken silver. Where is the exchange, it is simply given to her with kindness.
"Don't be stupid, go and go back quickly. Well, I want to think about it, and now it's not until noon, so I'll give you an hour. I just passed by that teahouse, what's it called?" she tilted her head.
"Moxiang Building. Liang replied in seconds.
She smiled at Liang Sheng, pushed the plum, and continued: "Yes, Moxiang Building, although it is a tea house, but passing by smelling the strong aroma of tea, there is a faint enticing aroma of wine and meat. Let's go shopping again, an hour, at most two hours later, Meizi, you have to come back before the time, and go to the Moxiang Building to find us. We had lunch there. If you come back late, we won't leave you with any food, and it will be difficult for you to find us on the street, and when the time comes, we will go back to the house, and we don't want you. ”
