After the white lime on the walls of the shop had completely dried, the paint on the specially made high bar had dried in two days. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info asked Mr. Lin to make a wooden signboard "Lin Ji Pickles". After everything was ready, Lin Guilu chose an auspicious day, bought a whip, and put it up before the people in the morning market dispersed. "Crackling-" rang for a long time, attracting many people to come and see the excitement. Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Guilu took his eldest son Lin Yukou to hang the signboard above the store. This time, the onlookers knew that the Lin family's pickles had moved here.

"Today, the Lin family's small shop opened, opening rewards, buy a pound and get two taels free, just one day, until it is sold out. Don't miss it. Lin Guilu arched his hand to the onlookers and said.

The people around me saw that today they were buying one pound and getting two taels free, and they usually ate his kimchi, and those who had sauerkraut today also bought one pound and two pounds each. If you don't take advantage of it, it's not a loss. In this way, the scene is quite lively. The whole family was busy in the store. After a busy morning, the kimchi and sauerkraut in the store were also sold. The family didn't see that they were too busy, so they went back to the backyard to do other things, leaving only Lin Yujuan and Lin Yusuo to watch in the store. After the morning market dispersed, Lin Yujuan and Brother Lin counted the copper coins in the money box. There are more than 450 texts.

"Wow, if only there were so many of them every day. I calculated that if there were so many every day, I would not have more than a dozen taels of silver a month. That year, there will be——" Brother Lin was happy there, if he pinched his hands to settle the account, he couldn't help but let his head come lightly. looked up and saw that it was his sister Lin Yujuan.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Stop daydreaming, the sun is still high. Today is the opening of the business, and the people who sell it cheaply buy more face. On weekdays, as long as I can have 200 wen a day, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. The best of the first two years in our family is just over thirty and twenty-one years. After calculating it, it will be a hundred or ten dollars a day. Lin Yujuan didn't know how to make more money, and she felt that the money was still not enough to spend. In this house, except for painting it and making a few pieces of furniture necessary for life, I am not willing to spend anything else.

"Sister, I know. Isn't this just for fun? Brother Lin said unconvinced, thinking to himself that he was so stupid.

"Hehe, you're still not convinced. You can't figure it out where it goes. It's useless to count your fingers, and you can't use it to set up stalls in the open air before, but now you have a counter, and you can buy an abacus back. Let's practice our brothers and sisters. Lin Yujuan said. When it came to the abacus, she remembered that she actually didn't plan to make a plan. I remember that when I was in elementary school, I studied for a few days, and I never used it after I finished learning. I've forgotten all the mantras and stuff.

"Sister, it's our family's small business. Selling these pickled vegetables costs only a few pennies a catty. There are more mental arithmetic blocks than abacus blocks. Isn't it too exaggerated for you to buy an abacus and come back? Lin Yusuo felt that it was really redundant.

"Really? Then I'll test you. Five wen per catty, three catties plus two catties plus four and a half catties plus thirteen catties plus three catties.... How much is that? Lin Yujuan's mouth crackled and reported a large number of numbers, but Lin Yusuo was dumbfounded. Sister, don't bring such a play. I've never seen a guest buy food like this, you deliberately tricked me. ”

In fact, Lin Yujuan forgot about it after she finished speaking, and she was talking nonsense. But if you don't give this kid some real looks, he doesn't know that abacus is also useful. "Okay, little brother. My sister was talking nonsense just now, and there really isn't a customer who buys something like this. Then let's calculate how much money we made in a month. Saying that, Lin Yujuan ran to the backyard to get the account book, and there was a door at the back of the store that went straight to the backyard.

"Yujuan, what are you running? We're going to eat. Do you bring the food to the front and eat it yourself? "Sister Lin Xiujuan saw her sister running so fast and didn't know what she was busy with.

"Oh, sister, I'll be serving the rice bowl right away. Now there's something going on. Lin Yujuan grabbed the account book and entered the shop. She walked to the counter and flipped the ledger to the beginning of last month, "Little brother, you heard it clearly this time." I started reading it when I was in junior high school, and it was very slow. One hundred and fifteen, one hundred and three, one hundred and forty-eight, ninety-seven......."

"Stop, sister, I'm afraid of you. I don't remember all these things you read, and it's useless for you to read them later. I don't remember any of them. I think it's pretty good that you taught me to do math on paper, sister. Lin Yujuan was stopped by Lin Yusuo before she could read the tenth day of the first month.

"If we are not busy in the afternoon, let my father take us to the shopkeeper in the restaurant we know and ask, and see that people are calculating much faster than us."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I heard the eldest sister shouting for dinner just now, sister, you see that I went to the restaurant for dinner-" Before the words fell, Lin Yusuo ran away. Lin Yujuan thought it was funny to see him like this, let me see the store? Don't have anything to eat? This little bit of caution is really a child. After a while, her sister Xiujuan brought her food. Lin Yujuan took the rice bowl and sat at the counter to eat.

In the afternoon, Lin Guilu also agreed with Lin Yujuan's statement. There is no other reason, when I am delivering, I occasionally meet people who are settling accounts, and I only hear that the abacus is crackling. Every time he hears it, he is envious, and he admires people who play abacus well. Thinking about what his daughter said is not wrong, it's just that who will learn from this after buying an abacus. I'll have to inquire about it myself. It didn't take two days to inquire about this, and there is an old shopkeeper in this town, who used to be a bookkeeper in a big store in Yangzhou, so he naturally has a good calculation. Lin Guilu invited acquaintances to make introductions, bought a jar of good wine, and brought a few snacks to visit.

The old man was over 60 years old, and his eyes were bright. Lin Guilu has been doing small business in the past few years, and he has a little insight after mixing in the town for all these years. He only thought that the old man must be a shrewd man. Hearing Lin Guilu explain his intentions, the old man thought about it and agreed. However, he only promised to teach for ten days, and he said that the master led him into the door to practice in himself. I have learned everything I should have learned in ten days, and it is useless to learn that stupid one who will not teach it anymore. Lin Guilu agreed again and again, and when he left the old man's house, he bought two abacus on the street. As for his youngest daughter and youngest son, he can teach his family after he learns. Thinking about it, everyone who meets him in the town now also calls him Boss Lin, this Boss Lin's kung fu in settling accounts is far worse than that of his children. What is the boss who doesn't know how to settle accounts called, Lin Guilu already had the look of him sitting at the counter with an abacus in his mind.

The next day, at the appointed time, Lin Guilu led Lin Yujuan and Lin Yusuo to study at the old shopkeeper's house with an abacus and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. After the two sisters and brothers saw the old man, they bent down and gave a deep salute, although the old man did not let the apprentice, but the ancients paid so much attention to respecting the teacher. Even though I only teach for a few days, I'm a teacher. Old Man Qian didn't shirk it, and accepted this gift. Although he saw that one of the two was a girl, he didn't think it was that strange. I think when he was in Yangzhou, he also saw some merchant women from time to time who had a good hand in their calculations. After Lin Guilu left, he began to teach them to plan the plate. First of all, I knew all the abacus, then explained the technique, and finally the most important abacus formula. One of the two siblings helped polish the ink, and the other quickly wrote the mantra on the paper. Seeing that this character is not written very much, it is not fruitful, as long as they can recognize it themselves. Old Man Qian glanced at it, and continued to recite the addition mantra without saying a word. After memorizing everything, the two began to practice addition with an abacus.

After returning from the house of the old shopkeeper, the sister and brother returned home to continue practicing. Lin Guilu and Lin Xiujuan also watched and studied from the sidelines. The three children are young, have good memory, and their fingers are flexible, and after a few days of practice, the abacus is also playing like a good one. Poor Lin Guilu, the old man was stunned and let a few children get rid of the old man. That finger doesn't listen to the call, and often makes mistakes. A few children watched from the sidelines and didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, and they were too uncomfortable. If it is so difficult to calculate with each other, the other two will always have to make a few jokes. But now it's his father, and the three siblings are afraid that their father's face will be ugly, so they have been coaxing him to make rapid progress. It's hard to insist on Lin Guilu for the sake of not giving up. Although he played slowly, he finally learned to plan the game.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. The old shopkeeper taught Lin Yujuan and Lin Yusuo the formulas of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of the abacus. The basic usage of the sister and brother will also be able to do it, and the rest is that the sister and brother go home to practice. You can go to the money shopkeeper for a few days a month to see how the progress is. The furniture at home was dried under the auspices of Mr. Lin, and even the last coat of paint was dried. Lin Guilu sent Lin Yukou back to the county seat a few days ago, and left twenty taels of silver to Gu Shibo, who was to buy wood for the eldest girl as a dowry. In addition, in the old house in the countryside, Lin Guilu and his brother Lin Guifu also built a pigsty. The piglets have also been grasped, six of Lin Guilu's family and two of Lin Guifu's family. Unfortunately, because this year's catch is late, the piglets are bigger than in previous years, so the price of each one is more than in previous years. Now everything in the house is in order, the house is whitewashed, the furniture is ready, everything is going well in the shop, and the pigs are raised. The next thing to do is to move the wine, flipped through the yellow calendar and picked the date, March 18. Lin Guilu sent messages to his brothers, brothers, and sisters and sisters. Everyone promised to arrive on time.
