Chapter 20: The Craftsman
Xu Yuanzuo was still estimating the combat strength of the person behind him, and Niu Dali had already jumped up.
"Qiu Lao Jiu! This is the bookkeeper that I have invited from Niu Dali! Niu was vigorously murderous, and all the brothers around him stood up.
Xu Yuanzuo sat down by himself when he saw the whole table, which was quite eye-catching, so he had to stand up.
As soon as he turned around, he was almost startled, that Qiu Lao Jiuzu was one foot tall, he was really a tiger-headed ape-back, bee-waisted frog legs, no matter which game he put in, he was a big boss guarding the level!
Niu Dali was compared to him, and he was immediately reduced to a child.
However, although Niu Dali is a rough man, he will never be reckless. He dared to argue with such a giant spirit god with his hands like a fan, so he naturally relied on it.
Qiu Laojiu was obviously jealous of Niu Dali's reliance, but it was not enough to make him fearful.
"Hey, we people who eat by their craft, can't even laugh twice?" Qiu Laojiu approached Niu Dali, as if he would secretly take a sip on his face at any time.
Niu Dali blushed slightly, obviously not shy, but annoyed.
Xu Yuanzuo only heard Qiu Laojiu say this, and knew that Niu Dali mostly relied on nepotism, so he was young and high, which made the old rascal dissatisfied.
This kind of confrontation is probably not the first time, Niu Dali must be like this every time, and he has to calm down after being molested.
Xu Yuanzuo analyzed so much, and seeing that Qiu Laojiu was swaying to go back to his seat to eat, he suddenly said loudly: "The one who eats by skill is the man." ”
"You're talking to me?" Qiu Laojiu stopped and said viciously.
Xu Yuan Zuoquan didn't hear it, and shouted towards the kitchen: "How many dishes are there?" ”
No matter who asked, there was an anxious roar from the kitchen: "It's almost over, and there's a stewed mutton!" What to urge! ”
Xu Yuanzuo turned his head to Niu Dali and said, "Brother Dali, it's okay to be idle, I'll clear the accounts first." ”
"That's a lot ......" Niu Dali subconsciously finished speaking, and then he reacted: Xu Fool is helping him earn face!
Don't lose face, even lose the lining!
Niu Dali was a little worried, but he still turned around and asked people to come out with the accounts.
Xu Yuanzuo was calm and relaxed in the midst of everyone's eyes, and sat down.
After a while, the person who came out with the account book arrived first, and it turned out to be scattered with various small books and papers.
This is not an account book at all, this is the original document!
Xu Yuanzuo's understanding of "looking at accounts" is to have account books. With his talent for mathematical perception, he can easily find out the problem, complete the task, and reap the amazement by holding the account book and flipping through it. But now they are holding out the original documents...... Just glanced at the handwriting on these papers, and his head almost exploded.
Look at your sister's account! This is obviously asking me to do the accounting!
Niu Dali also looked at Xu Yuanzuo worriedly.
Only Qiu Laojiu and his brother smiled.
"Is it enough? There's also inside. The little brother who brought the pile of original accounts asked.
Niu Dali really can't wait to kick it!
"Hold it out! Hold them all out! Qiu Laojiu and a group of brothers coaxed: "Otherwise, how can you show the craftsmanship of this Mr. Bookkeeper!" ”
Xu Yuanzuo took a piece of paper and saw that it was scribbled on a certain year, month and day, and that so-and-so had a number of gambling debts, and then a handprint was signed. He put the paper on his left hand side, and secretly said in his heart: Those who lose will not lose the battle! If you don't eat lunch, you can't be embarrassed here!
He pushed away the dishes and chopsticks, and commanded, "Are there any literate people?" Sort this out, a pile of receipts, a pile of IOUs, and a pile of expenses. ”
Niu Dali was the only one in the crowd who could read two words, and he grabbed a skinny man - it must be a clerk in this underworld.
The two of them were competent in this regard, and soon sorted the scattered paper heads according to Xu Yuanzuo's instructions.
Taking advantage of this effort, Xu Yuanzuo had already taken a few small books, and when he opened them, he remembered the messy diary. At the moment, only swallowing dates is all in my mind. After he finished reading the revised journal, Niu Dali and the small clerk also sorted out a stack of papers.
Xu Yuanzuo took a stack and arranged them in order by day while watching. By the time he was done, another stack of papers had been sorted.
Niu Dali was anxious while tidying up, and he didn't know that this Xu fool was just looking through and not taking a pen to copy, was this reading or a pastime? His heart jumped suddenly, and he almost jumped up with a lap on his thigh: it's broken! At that time, I told Xu Fool that he was here to "check the account", could it be that Xu Fool really looked at it like this, but in fact, he didn't know how to do anything?
Xu Yuanzuo has entered a strange state, and his sensitivity to numbers seems to have improved. He originally memorized words by hard memorization, but now he thinks of learning the "four-corner number checking" method in middle school.
Originally, it was a way to look up a dictionary, using the numbers zero to nine to represent the ten pen shapes at the four corners of a Chinese character, sometimes adding a complement at the end.
At this moment, Xu Yuanzuo recompiled the numbers corresponding to the pen shape in his mind, and memorizing Chinese characters became memorizing four- or five-digit numbers.
In this way, all documents and journals are just numbers for Xu Yuanzuo.
It's like a fish in water.
The more he looked at it, the faster it was, so fast that it had surpassed the speed of Niu Dali and the thin papers, and he even stacked all the documents according to the date by himself.
"Here comes the mutton!" The cook finished the last course and announced loudly.
"I'm fine too." Xu Yuanzuo put down the last piece of paper and stacked three stacks of documents horizontally and vertically, announcing that the work was completed.
Qiu Laojiu said angrily: "This skill is not bad. ”
Niu Dali also felt a little embarrassed, and did not speak.
"I don't know your assets either." Xu Yuanzuo said leisurely: "So these things alone can only make a running account." He glanced at the steaming food on the table: "In order not to delay everyone's meal, I'll give a total first." After that, Xu Yuanzuo asked someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote down the total expenses and total income that had been accumulated, and wrote down the amount of accounts receivable.
Niu Dali took these three numbers, and he was also puzzled. I hastily flipped through all the documents and said that I had calculated it, and I didn't see the notes, and I didn't see the abacus, is this really reliable?
There are a lot of people who don't believe it more than Niu Dali, Qiu Laojiu laughed and said: "You white fat man just want to fool your Grandpa Qiu by just making a few numbers nonsense!" ”
"Eat first, and after eating, I'll slowly make an account for you, and you'll understand it at a glance." Xu Yuanzuo motioned to Niu Dali to prepare to move the chopsticks, and now nothing is more important than eating.
"There's no hurry!" Qiu Laojiu suddenly flashed a cruel smile on his face: "I'll find an account room to calculate, if there is a mistake, you will wash your ass and wait for Lao Tzu." ”
Xu Yuanzuo suppressed his anger and smiled: "If it's correct, what do you say?" ”
"If it's true, whatever you want!" Qiu Laojiu didn't believe that anyone in the world could do it. Looking at the pile of documents on the table, he even suspected that Xu Yuanzuo had just sorted it out, and he hadn't even looked at it.
Since the two made a gambling contract, Xu Yuanzuo was not in a hurry to eat, so he simply turned his back to the dinner table to avoid temptation...... The result is more painful.
If you don't turn around, you just look at one table of dishes that can't be eaten, but when you turn around, you look at four tables of dishes that can't be eaten.
Qiu Laojiu was also resolute, and it didn't take long for a thin old man to come in. The old man had an unlucky face, and his face was wrinkled like a turtle shell carved with oracle bones. Judging from the abacus he was holding under his armpit, it must be the bookkeeper of a certain business.
Behind the bookkeeper, there was a young man, who was also afraid, looking like the apprentice of the old tent.
"Calculate it for me, if there is a slight miscalculation, you will suffer!" Qiu Lao Jiu threatened.
The old tent swallowed his saliva: "Ninth Master, there are so many, I'm afraid it's going to be night." ”
"Count!" Qiu Laojiu doesn't care so much.
The old tent looked bitter, found a place to sit, cleared the reckoning, and asked the young man to start counting. Xu Yuanzuo didn't say much, just reminded him not to mess up the date, and showed him the total he had written, and he naturally understood what Qiu Laojiu wanted him to calculate.
Among the people, the ones who really paid attention to this matter were Niu Dali and Qiu Laojiu, as well as their brothers. Others don't want to show whose side the carriage and horses are on, so why bother with people if they have nothing to do? This neutral stance made them very depressed about not being able to eat, and they could only watch dryly.
Finally, someone used their brains and secretly invited the head of the line.
