Seeing that the two old men were still fighting, Lin Zheng said lightly: "If you quarrel with the concubine again, you will turn around and leave, and no one recommended by Lang Jun will be hired." ”

For fear that Lin Zheng's family would turn around and leave, the second uncle and Chen Xundao snorted coldly at each other and stopped arguing.

"Lady, what do you think you should do about this?" The second uncle hesitated, still worried about Lu Ting's situation, and took the lead in speaking.

Chen Xundao glanced at Lu Ting and said casually: "Both of them want this position, the fairest thing is to let the two of them compete, and whoever wins this errand will be the one who wins." ”

As a Suzhou instructor, Chen Xundao has a good understanding of the situation of Suzhou students, because the second uncle is familiar with it, he knows Lu Ting's situation well, in the final analysis, Lu Ting is a loser who does not learn and has no skills, and his distant nephew Chen Hai is much stronger than Lu Ting, especially in terms of clear calculation, Chen Hai is very talented.

The second uncle originally wanted to defend a few words, but Lin Zheng clapped his hands and said, "This plan is very good, so be it, Xiaozhi, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

While speaking, Lin Zheng's glanced at the pretty maid on the side without a trace.

These two old men pestered themselves all day long, if the guests came to live with them, there would be more reasons to find themselves at that time, these two recommended people, Lin Zheng's didn't take a fancy to any of them, and tried to make them all get out, Xiaozhi understood Lin Zheng's eyes in an instant, blinked a little naughtily, and nodded without a trace.

deliberately increased the difficulty, so that neither of them could come to the house to do things.

"Chen Hai, take out your ability and let some people know what real learning is." Chen Xundao touched his beard and said a little smugly.

"Uncle, rest assured, the younger generation will definitely do his best." Chen Hai replied respectfully.

The second uncle patted Lu Ting's shoulder, and said that if he loses, he will not lose the position: "Lu Ting, the second uncle can only help you get here, and the rest is up to you to teach him a good lesson." ”

"Yo, it's not a small tone, don't you know what your nephew is? Don't be swollen and fat. Chen Xundao couldn't help but laugh.

"The surname is Chen, you only have this mouth left in your life."

"The surname Lu, look at your pride, as if your nephew will win, so confident, it's better to gamble, and if you lose, you have to put a seat in the guest house, which is considered a celebration of winning, do you dare?"

The second uncle paused for a moment, and quickly said strongly: "Someone invites you to a banquet, it's a good thing, the old man is still afraid of you?" Okay, this bet with the old man has answered. ”

These two old men, who are more than a hundred years old together, are really angry, and they finally stopped for a while, and then pinched them again in the blink of an eye, Lu Ting didn't even interject a word, and gambled again.

"Two Xiaolangjun, these two are the main and deputy account books of Kelaiju in March this year, the number is the same, and the two Xiaolangjun are tired of calculating it within half an hour, because the two Xiaolangjun took the account for the first time, and the error was counted within ten cents, and on the premise that they were all right, the one with less time won." Xiao Zhi, the little girl, put the two thick books on the table and said with a smile.

Lu Ting looked at the account book that was nearly four inches thick, and the first thought in his heart was that the business of Kelaiju was good, and there were so many records in and out of the account in just one month, and there was such a prosperous inn, how rich the dowry of the Lin Zheng family was.

Chen Hai on the side looked at the thick account book, and after obtaining the consent of the pretty maid, he flipped through it casually, and quickly frowned and said: "There are so many accounts, only half an hour, I'm afraid that the time is not enough." ”

Accounting is not reading and writing, it is not good to make mistakes, and the accounts are chaotic and redundant, not to mention half an hour, an hour can be calculated is good, now it only takes half an hour, it is too difficult for a strong person.

"Xiao Langjun can use a number of chips, here are lottery chips and bead chips to choose at will." Speaking of this, Zheng Yanzhi said casually: "The slave family only finished the inventory yesterday, and it can be calculated in three quarters of an hour, for the two Xiaolangjun, I believe that half an hour is enough." ”

Chen Hai's face instantly turned a little red, coughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "It's just a joke, half an hour is enough." ”

There are four quarters of an hour in half an hour, and a servant girl can calculate it in three quarters of an hour, and those who apply for the bookkeeping by themselves can't be worse than the servants, Chen Hai can only bite the bullet.

When Chen Hai and Zheng Yanzhi were talking, Lu Ting also looked at the account book, touched the account book, and felt that the paper was hard and astringent, it should be jute paper, written page by page, punched on the left side of the paper and strung together with a rope, when he saw the content, Lu Ting couldn't help frowning, the paper was average, but the words were neatly written, it looked like no problem, but the number was too messy, it was a running account, how much food was on a table, what was dropped, what was purchased, and what was given by acquaintances.

Zheng Yanzhi saw that Chen Hai and Lu Ting were both frowning, a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a proud and contemptuous look appeared in her eyes: Isn't Kelaiju a place where you can come whenever you want, pass yourself first, especially the surnamed Lu, those thieves are always staring at themselves, and they are not good people at first glance, and they really want to pull out their eyes.

A guy put a tray on the table, there are two delicate wooden boxes on the tray, the box on the left contains bamboo sticks of different lengths, and the box on the right contains beads of different colors, and the beads and bamboo sticks are engraved with special symbols, this is what Xiao Zhi said about signing chips and bead chips, important auxiliary tools for the ancients to settle accounts, Lu Ting looked at these exquisite auxiliary tools, and lost his mind for a while.

Lottery and bead chips are very simple, use different signatures or beads to represent different values, and then add and subtract, add and subtract, add and subtract and then count, the problem is, the ancients can't make a computer, and the abacus known as the fifth great invention in China is not?

Later generations have several different opinions on the emergence of the abacus, among which there are two kinds of recognized calculations, one is that the abacus appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and the other is that the abacus appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm used to using bead chips, so you're welcome." When Chen Hai was surprised by Lu Ting, he preemptively asked for the beads.

Zheng Yanzhi glared at Lu Ting with some disgust, and said expressionlessly: "Lu Xiaolangjun, I don't know what kind of chips you are used to, if you want bead chips, there is still a spare one in the tent, and the slave family can let someone send it." ”

Lu Ting was a head taller than Xiao Zhi, and when he looked at the tray, he stood at Zheng Yanzhi's angle as if he was staring at the bulging place in front of him, and his impression of Lu Ting in his heart was even worse, if it weren't for so many people, they would want to give Lu Ting two mouths.

"No, you don't." Lu Ting waved his hand.

When I was in college in my previous life, I had a girlfriend who was studying accounting, and my girlfriend was going to participate in the competition at that time, and I accompanied her as a boyfriend to do half a year of intensive training.

Lu Ting said no, Xiao Zhi thought that Lu Ting didn't need beads, and it was okay to use a lottery chip, but he didn't expect that after he turned the hourglass upside down and announced the start, he found that Lu Ting really didn't need it, he didn't need to sign a bead chip or a lottery ticket, but picked up the account book and looked like this.

This prodigal son is good at mental arithmetic?

Zheng Yanzhi had a thought in her heart, but soon denied this idea, the accounts of Kelaiju are too complicated, and one or two pages of mental arithmetic are okay, if the entire account book is mentally arithmetic, it is too difficult, you must know that the professors of Ming Arithmetic say that they are rare geniuses of Ming Arithmetic, and they also have to borrow the ability to sign the accurate calculation, Chen Xundao just said that he does not learn and has no skills, and nine times out of ten he knows that he can't do it, so he simply gives up.

Chen Hai read quietly in his mouth, adding or taking out different beads from the box while reading, the movements were fast and skillful, and he saw that he had practiced a lot on weekdays, as for Lu Ting, I saw him yawning while flipping through the account book, here Chen Hai has not finished one page, Lu Ting has already turned two pages, Xiao Zhi saw it, and was even more disdainful of Lu Ting.

As far as the speed of Lu Ting's account book is concerned, it is faster than his own calculation, and he is very good at pretending, he is curious about how to calculate the transaction of Kelaiju, whether it is a profit or a loss, Xiao Zhi can guess what Lu Ting will do later: when the time is about the same, fill in the number at will, and if he is wrong, he will say that he is not good at school, if the blind cat touches the dead mouse, it will be regarded as earned.

is not only a prodigal son, but also a prodigal son who has no face, no skin, no learning and no skills, Xiao Zhi is too lazy to look at Lu Ting.

When Lu Ting and Chen Hai were taking inventory, Chen Xundao and the second uncle were not idle, they were staring at the two nervously, but their faces were a little different, Chen Xundao's face was colorful, and the second uncle's old face was a little uncomfortable, and even a little dead.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, when Chen Hai counted it, he calculated it quickly and well, the hand that put the beads and took the beads was like a butterfly flying up and down, fast and spiritual, he didn't need to look at it, the hands seemed to have eyes, and he accurately remembered the position of the beads representing different values, and Lu Ting didn't even touch the chips, he looked at the account book stupidly, if it wasn't for Lin Zheng's being, the second uncle would have slapped him on the back of the head.

Rabbit cub, let you take the account and let you look at the account, or you can't win, at least pretend, his old face has made him lose everything.

"Lady, didn't someone send a bear's paw yesterday? Is it still there? Chen Xundao suddenly asked.

Lin Zhengshi paused for a moment, and quickly responded: "I sent four high-grade bear paws, two of which were used last night, and there are two left." ”

"Great, I'll eat this in a while, and then pair it with a roasted whole sheep and a few silver saury, this taste, it's amazing" Speaking of this, Chen Xundao turned his head and said to the second uncle: "Lu Lizheng, you are also Lizheng, or the patriarch of the Lu clan in Suzhou, keep smiling when paying the bill for a while, don't lose face, you want to cry, go home and cry with the quilt, of course, if you are willing to ask the old man, be sincere, maybe you will change your mind less, hahaha." ”

This old Lu Tou, looking at the honest handover, always said his right and wrong in front of Lin Zheng's family, half a month ago, he finally asked Lin Zheng's to go boating on the lake, but he didn't expect the old Lu Tou to go to Chunfeng Lou in his own name to let Xiao Xiao'er come, so angry that Lin Zheng's turned his head and left, if it weren't for that stubble, maybe now Lin Zheng's has become Chen Zheng's.

An old man with a bad stomach will not die, and he will have to be slaughtered for a while.

Bear paws are rare goods, one at least five taels of silver, two at least ten taels, and roast whole sheep and silver saury, this is not to set up a banquet by yourself, but to put your own blood, the second uncle is so angry that his old face twitched, but he wanted face, and pretended not to care when he heard the words, but teased: "Chen Xundao has a little beautiful concubine in Xinna's family, and there is a good little smile in Chunfeng Building, so I should make up for it, if the old man loses, I will admit it if I have more." ”

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the loss has been a bit big in the past few years, as the patriarch of the Lu family, this second uncle can still afford to eat, and the money can suffer, but in front of the Lin Zheng family, he must not lose his demeanor and strength.

Also mentioned? Chen Xundao was so angry that his nose twisted on the spot, slapped the table and said: "Lu Zhengming, you Tian Shenu, don't be embarrassed, believe it or not, the old man will beat you." ”

"Chen Xun is so powerful that the old man is so scared that he doesn't dare to speak, fortunately, it's just a small training, if he does the county order and assassination history, then he can't detain whoever he wants, and sleep with whoever he wants?" The second uncle replied with a smile.

"You, you..." Chen Xundao pointed at the second uncle, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Lin Zheng looked at the two of them helplessly, when she turned her head to see Xiao Zhi, there was a little more doting and a trace of relief in her eyes, Xiao Zhi's name is Zheng Yanzhi, the real identity is not a maid, but her little niece, this time she came to Suzhou to visit herself, but Zheng Yanzhi is very playful, and she doesn't want to stay at home all day, but she wants to play everywhere, and she wants to play but is afraid that others will recognize her, and the daughter of the dignified Xingyang Zheng family insists on acting as her maid, but Yanzhi has been close to herself since she was a child, holding her hand and coquettish a few words, and she acquiesced, It's a little stubborn, but Xiao Zhi is extremely talented in clear calculation, that account book, it takes at least an hour for a skilled account room to barely calculate, she can finish it in three quarters of an hour, half an hour, Lu Ting and Chen Hai can calculate half of it can snicker.

In this position, Lin Zheng's didn't want to use Chen Hai, who was recommended by Chen Xundao, and he didn't fancy Lu Ting, who was recommended by his second uncle, so he let the two go through the motions because of his face, and now the two old men are fighting each other again, Lin Zheng's just laughed and didn't say anything, as long as he didn't make too much trouble.

Anyway, the people they recommend should not be.
