But after a cup of tea, she fiddled with her cherished ivory and had just finished calculating one page of accounts, and was about to turn to the second page when the crackling sound next to her had stopped.

"Why did you stop?" When everyone saw him pause, they couldn't help but wonder.

Ling Yun smiled, glanced at the abacus, and then said loudly: "The total income is three thousand seven hundred and eighty-one dollars, Uncle Zhang, you can see it." ”

Uncle Zhang was surprised, and then nodded, "It's not bad, it's really three thousand seven hundred and eighty-one dollars." ”

There was a burst of exclamations all around, and everyone thought it was incredible. They were all watching on the spot, such a thick account book, my uncle actually took only one cup of tea to figure it out, and it was not bad, how could this be. They saw the second lady who was the best at arithmetic, and she had only just finished the first page.

"This can't be, he must have known the result a long time ago, he cheated!" Gao Mingyue couldn't accept such a fact, and couldn't help but accuse.

Zhang Bo stood up and said: "This is one of the last month's income books of several stores that were just delivered from Yangzhou yesterday, and all the account books were just delivered yesterday, and I am the only one in the entire village who has touched them." And this one, which I just calculated this morning, has not been touched by any other second person, and no one knows the result. The old man didn't tell his uncle, and the second lady misunderstood. ”

"How is this possible!"

This exclamation was even louder, Zhang Bo had served as the general ledger of the Gao family for twenty years, and of course, some people knew that before that, he had also held an official position in the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Qi State. What this old man said was absolutely reliable. It is impossible for him to lie for his aunt to deceive the second miss.

Ling Yun had already known that Gao Mingyue would have such a reaction, and he also knew that at this time, Gao Qianxue and the others in Gaojiazhuang were full of doubts and wanted to know how he did it. He raised his abacus, lit up in front of everyone, then put it on the table again, and said to Gao Mingyue, "Now you can report a few numbers casually, whether it is addition or subtraction or whatever, I can calculate it immediately in front of you, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”

Gao Mingyue gritted her teeth, paused, and then reported a series of numbers, this is a complicated account, and it is definitely an account that no second person knows. Because this was made up by Gao Mingyue herself, but under her nose, Ling Yun was still that light and breezy look, and she could even look at her with a smile, and then pull out the plate with both hands, she had just finished reporting, and within a moment, Ling Yun had already reported a number.

"Is that the number?"

Facing Ling Yun's smug appearance, Gao Mingyue wanted to say no, but she also knew that it was just self-deception. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that this guy was indeed very powerful, and his plate was really a good thing in arithmetic.

"That's right."

"Wow!" As soon as Gao Mingyue admitted it, it immediately attracted countless exclamations. Now, everyone really understands that my uncle not only knows how to tell stories and tell stories, but also has the ability to calculate gods, and even the second lady is completely compared.

"Don't be complacent, it's only 10,000 dollars, I still lose!" Gao Mingyue gritted her teeth and said angrily, this kung fu, her silver teeth are about to be crushed, this guy is too annoying. But in her heart, she couldn't help but be full of curiosity about that magical plate, how could this thing be so easy to use, it seemed that compared to the calculation, it was simply thrown out of eighteen streets.

Ling Yun is not polite, anyway, they are all their own family, but the left pocket is out of the right pocket. However, he didn't forget his original purpose, and he didn't make this calculation to offend Gao Mingyue's rude sister-in-law, but to curry favor with her and improve the relationship between the two. Therefore, he smiled and said, "With such a large sum of money, I can't take it for nothing." Otherwise, this 10,000 yuan will be your tuition, and I will teach you how to use this abacus formula, with your arithmetic talent, you will definitely play better than me in the future. ”

"If you don't learn, who is rare!" Although Gao Mingyue was curious, she wanted to save face and refused to bow her head.

But everyone had already seen her true thoughts, Gao Qianxue and Gao Bo Zhang Bo all laughed out loud. Or Uncle Zhang gave a step, "Old man, I'm very interested in this kind of abacus, is there a special formula?" ”

"Well, this tool is an abacus made specifically for calculations, and the reason why abacus is faster is because there is a perfect set of abacus formulas. Using the abacus mantra, arithmetic is no longer troublesome and complicated. Moreover, the abacus formula is simple, even if it is a five or six-year-old child, as long as it takes a few months, he can get started and calculate some simple accounts. ”

"Oh, even children can learn?" I couldn't help but be surprised by the high and shallow snow.

Ling Yun saw that Gao Mingyue really wanted to learn, but he couldn't say it because of his face. He took the initiative to give the steps and said: "Otherwise, hurry up to make a batch of abacus, and then I will compile a booklet of the abacus formula, and every night in my free time, people who want to learn can come and listen to me teach this abacus class." ”

"Okay, well, I think it's better to take turns to send the accounts of various shops and manors to study, these accounts are not of great use, and they still need to be tempered, just take this opportunity to improve their level, and let the eldest lady and the second lady give a good training." By the way, during class, the second lady came to supervise, otherwise, I'm afraid that these lazy guys won't study hard. Uncle Zhang said on the side.

"Okay, then I'll reluctantly supervise it. As explained in advance, I am only supervising the accounts, not to learn any abacus. Gao Mingyue said with a proud face.

This appearance made everyone smile, this guy is really a cooked duck, and his mouth is hard. However, Ling Yun smiled, and it could be seen that Gao Mingyue's attitude towards herself was a little looser. Little girl, it's very easy to deal with her. With his ability, I believe that it doesn't take much effort to make this girl change her attitude towards herself in the future.

The game ended, everyone dispersed, Gao Qianxue said to Ling Yun: "Yi Lang, you will wear more decently tomorrow, the slave made you a set of Shu brocade round-necked robes, you go back and try to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, you can change it immediately." ”

"Well, is it to visit or to entertain?" After Ling Yun came here, he was not too accustomed to wearing those slippery silks, nor did he like robes and coats, he still preferred to wear sackcloth and short clothes, so that he was more accustomed to nature. However, it was inevitably a little inconsistent, Gao Qianxue suddenly reminded him to wear it tomorrow, and it is estimated that he will either go to the visitor or entertain the guests.

"Chen Gongzi and Xiao Gongzi will come to visit tomorrow, and by the way, they will send back Zhuang Ding, who was rescued by Xiao Gongzi last time. Anyway, they were all distinguished guests, and they helped us so much, and we all had to be entertained this time. You are the male host of the Gao family, you have to be decent, don't be as casual as you do on weekdays, that will be considered as intentionally snubbing the guests. Gao Qianxue usually doesn't care about Ling Yun's outfit, but since there are guests coming, it's different.

"Well, I will." Ling Yun nodded. He knew very well what the arrival of Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo meant, and during this time, he deliberately didn't care about the follow-up matters between the Gao family and Chen Xiao, which was to subtly avoid these. Now Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo are coming, which shows that the three have reached a preliminary agreement. Maybe it's just a smuggling business, maybe it's to fight against Sui together. In any case, these things are not subject to his will. Whether he likes it or not, things are still developing.

Back in the east courtyard, the workers in the tea workshop had already opened the sealed boxes of celadon tea cans that had been sent. The first batch of 500 Yuejiao celadon vases were placed in front of him, completely according to the appearance designed by Ling Yun. Green as jade, bright as a mirror, sound like a chime, the real flower of porcelain, worthy of the most famous Yue cellar in the Tang Dynasty produced precious porcelain.

Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh, the Nine Autumn Wind and Dew opened more and more, and won the emerald color of the thousand peaks, just this bottle is a precious work of art. It is worthy of Lingyun that spent 5,000 yuan on a specially customized, such a small bottle, only containing one pound of tea. The order price of the packaging bottle alone is worth five times, and if this tea is not sold higher, it really won't even be able to get the bottle back.

The green and ice-like bottle body, with the tea picker painted by Ling Yun himself and the advertising slogan, this tea bottle instantly improved to a higher level. Matching the tea bottle is also a purple sand teapot and eight purple sand teacups sent by Yuejiao, and Lingyun is completely in accordance with the sales model of selling moon cakes in later generations. Later generations sold boxes of moon cakes, and they also gave a precious watch, foreign wine, etc. It's not just mooncakes that are being sold, and Ling Yun plans to do the same. However, his main focus is still the art-like packaging bottles and teapots and cups, and he even plans to print a beautiful brochure, a beautiful picture album, with excellent calligraphy, to package this dragon tongue into a top luxury, a symbol of culture and art, and I am afraid that no one will like it. Anyway, this kind of luxury goods are only the most expensive, not the best.

Now only the last packaging sequence is left, and with these precious porcelain pottery packaging, these unknown camellia of Liuhe Mountain will be transformed into a top-grade green tea dragon tongue.

Ling Yun couldn't wait to beckon Mulan and Qinglian to pack with him, and every time he filled a bottle, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment. The two girls were the same, holding the porcelain bottle carefully, as if holding a rare treasure.

The fragrance of tea in the house is overflowing, and the best packaging of tea leaves is quite complex and luxurious. Fill the tea leaves in a white cloth bag and then put them in a celadon bottle and cover them. It is then put on a silk bag, and then put it into a box made of sandalwood together with the matching purple sand tea set, and finally, it is put into an ordinary wooden box filled with sandalwood chips, and packaged layer by layer, which not only prevents the tea from being damp and aroma volatilization, but also prevents the porcelain vase pottery and sandalwood box from being damaged by touch.

After being busy for a long time, the 100 catties of fresh tea they personally fried last time finally became the twenty boxes of high-grade dry tea they had packaged. A pound of fresh leaves is fried in two taels, a good ratio. After packing the twenty boxes of tea in person, the rest of the tea that was then roasted was handed over to the workers who were studying on the side just now.

Looking at these twenty boxes of the fruits of his own labor, Ling Yun was very happy, he directly took out two boxes from them, and gave one box to Mulan and Qinglian.

"These are all made by our own labor, one box per person."

Qinglian and Mulan looked at Ling Yun in surprise, they knew very well the preciousness of this tea, just the tea was nothing, not to mention such a luxurious celadon bottle and purple sand pottery.

"I told you to take it and take it, what are you still doing in a daze."

The two girls glanced at each other, but they couldn't refuse the temptation, and one of them quickly picked up a small box in their arms, for fear of flying away.

There were eighteen bottles left, and Ling Yun kept a box for himself, and then called a few people to pick them up and go directly to the front hall.

Gao Qianxue was in the hall at this time discussing with Gao Bo and them the preparations for receiving Chen Xiao and his party tomorrow, while Gao Mingyue was sitting on the side and was holding the abacus left by Ling Yun to study left and right, and when she saw Ling Yun coming in, she hurriedly pushed the abacus aside.

"Lady, come and repay the freshly baked tequila!"

"I paid it off a few days ago." Gao Qianxue said with a smile.

"A few days ago, those teas were not packaged, there was no packaging, just like people did not wear clothes and makeup, and the charm was reduced a lot. Come and see, this perfectly packaged dragon tongue. ”

Ling Yun waved his hand and called the two girls up, "Mulan, you go boil water, yes, just use the spring water you got yesterday, Qinglian, you come to make tea." ”

The two little girls are already familiar with the brewing method of this new tea, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. After a while, a few cups of fragrant agave tea had been handed to Gao Qianxue and the others. Gao Qianxue picked up the purple sand teacup in front of her, lowered her head and smelled it, and couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy the fragrant smell.

Gao Bo and Zhang Bo smelled the fragrant smell of tea, looked at the celadon teabottle in front of them, the purple sand teapot, the purple sand teacup, and even the teabottle, the teapot, the drawings and calligraphy on the teacup, they were all full of surprise, "This, is this the real dragon tongue?" ”
