But he said that the shopkeeper Cao didn't know what to say, Yu Shu scolded him for being nosy in his heart, and reached out and patted her shoulder in a friendly way, and said good-naturedly:

"Are you looking for a job?"

"Hmm." Yu Shu reluctantly agreed, still thinking about the missing medical expenses.

"What will you do?"

"Settle accounts." Yu Shu has a long memory, and this time he resolutely did not mention doing chores, and if he didn't work, he would pull it down.

"Are you going to do it?" Shopkeeper Cao's face was a little rare.

Shopkeeper Wu sneered on the side, and interjected: "Shopkeeper Cao, don't be deceived by this kid, he is like that, where does he seem to be planning to plate, there are a few beads on the abacus, I'm afraid he doesn't know what to do, I don't believe you ask him." ”

Really let him guess, Yu Shu really didn't know what format Lu Dao's abacus was at this time, and there were a few beads.

So he said very shamefully: "I don't know what to do, you can find an abacus for me first." ”

"Ha Luha," Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly interjected: "Look, what did I say, he hasn't even seen an abacus." ”

"Shopkeeper Wu, borrow your abacus and use it," Shopkeeper Cao glanced at Yu Shu and pointed to the abacus on the counter opposite.

In order to see Yu Shu's jokes, Shopkeeper Wu was happy to take it and gave it to Yu Shu directly, and deliberately said coldly:

"Do you know how to count?"

Yu Shu ignored him, shook the abacus, and the familiar crisp sound made her feel better, and the format was pointed horizontally and vertically, it was an old antique with two beads and thirteen horizontals.

"What's going to be counted?" Yu Shu pulled the abacus beads in one hand, turned his head and asked the shopkeeper Cao.

Seeing her layman's gesture with an abacus, Shopkeeper Cao frowned secretly, a little disappointed in his heart, but still gave words:

"You can show me a big ninety-nine first."

This big ninety-nine is the basic mantra of reckoning, and if he can beat it down, it is not impossible for him to reluctantly give him a job.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw that the abacus in the young man's hand sounded crisply, and the jujube-sized abacus beads, like jumping beans, jumped up and down, and at first a few times the dial was a little jerky, but in the blink of an eye, it became dexterous, and the sound was crisp and pleasant, which made people feel happy.

Shopkeeper Cao's eyes had light, but Shopkeeper Wu, who was waiting to see the joke, was dumbfounded, the beads were fast, he couldn't see clearly, this dexterous technique, how many years should he have practiced?

As soon as the two of them showed surprise on their faces, Yu Shu had already dialed the big ninety-nine here, and he didn't even bother to show them the results, so he directly shook the abacus and liquidated, and said to the shopkeeper Cao:

"If you really want to settle accounts, let's make a good question, and don't just take some things that fool children."

Yu Shu still didn't know that in a few years, arithmetic is also a type of easy to learn, ordinary children want to learn arithmetic, and they can't even find a master, and this algorithm formula is not something that everyone can learn.

"Fooling the kids?" Shopkeeper Cao smiled, but when Yu Shu was deliberately saying funny things and intentionally testing her, he raised his hand and asked:

"What you're not a child about, let me see."

Yu Shu thought about it, put the abacus on the table sideways, and said while dialing the gap:

"Then have a fun one, multiply four and nine—"

Forty-nine, not thirty-six, is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, multiplied by nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

"Okay." As soon as the shopkeeper Cao responded, Yu Shu picked up the beads, and the fingers flying up and down were flexible and dazzling.

"This is ninety-nine-nine-hundred-hundred-one, with a nice name," Yu Shu dialed the last bead, this time he didn't mess up, and let the body reveal the neat picture on the abacus, "It's to make the lonely goose leave the group." ”

The two of them curiously got closer to see, the "one" at the back and the "ninety-nine-nine-eight" in front were separated by three gears, isn't it like a lonely goose that has left the group!

Shopkeeper Wu was already speechless, he called a boy who did chores for an afternoon, and he was able to play such a delicate abacus, why didn't he see it as soon as he entered the door, if he was recruited to settle accounts, how much work could he save himself.

Seeing that the two of them looked strange, Yu Shu secretly said that it was good that he picked a decent one, and he didn't show them really powerful, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

Speaking of abacus, this is one of Yu Shu's most complacent things, when others are used to relying on computers and calculators, she always insists on using this skill, her first abacus is Yu Lei stole her father's money to buy it and give it to her, and afterwards she was beaten for this, and she used the abacus until the beads were smoothed and carefully kept.

"Little brother, why didn't you say it earlier," Shopkeeper Wu said that he would change his face, stretched out his hand, and wanted to learn from the shopkeeper Cao to pat Yu Shu on the shoulder, but she smiled and blocked back.

"Don't call me little brother, call me little **."

With a low laugh on the side, Yu Shu ignored the embarrassed shopkeeper Wu, looked at the flower clothes and said:

"How's it going, do you have a collection of accounts in your store?"

Of course, Shopkeeper Cao nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then let's talk about the wages first," Yu Shu is a wise man, don't talk about money, don't mention anything.

"How about I give you five dimes a month?"

Five-pointed silver, that is, five hundred copper plates, Yu Shu didn't know the market price of the road, but looking at the face of the shopkeeper Wu, he also knew that the road was probably not bad, but he still shook his head at the shopkeeper Cao.

The shopkeeper Cao is not very old, but he is very happy to do things, he glanced at the lonely goose in the abacus on the table, and said, "Then the hexagonal is good." ”

"You misunderstood, I'm not too little," Yu Shu said seriously, "I don't want to settle the money on a monthly basis, you give me a settlement every day, because I can only go over in the afternoon every day to settle accounts, and I live for half a day, and you can give me ten copper coins a day." ”

"Okay," Shopkeeper Cao responded without thinking about it, "You go to the store with me now, let's sign a deed, when you don't do it, I'll return the deed to you, it just so happens that I have an account, you can calculate it for me first." ”

"Cheng, let's go." This has work to do, and it saves her from opening her mouth to advance in advance.

Shopkeeper Wu watched the two of them leave one after the other, raised his hand, and finally didn't have such a thick skin to keep people, so he could only turn his head and stomp his feet.

Here, Yu Shu followed Shopkeeper Cao to a paper and ink shop on the opposite street, turned his head and glanced at the silk shop directly opposite the door, and was happy again.

The view here is so good, so good that you can see everything in the store opposite.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper's name?" Yu Shu smiled and turned his head to look at his first gold master.

"My surname is Cao, Cao Zixin." The young man spoke, polite, humbly smiled, and his eyebrows were sparse, and he had a good gentleman's appearance.

"Thank you for picking things up for me in the afternoon."

He didn't mention it, Yu Shu really thought he had forgotten.

"You're welcome, I'm not a good person with a good reward," Yu Shu walked around to the back of the counter, took the deed he simply wrote, confirmed the red seal on the top, pressed the handprint, and then suddenly turned his face and said:

"Did I tell you that I can't read?".
