Lin Qi was originally not interested in settling accounts, but he was forced by Lin Qian's "high hopes", so he listened to Lin Ruo's words and began to learn to read accounts. Looking at Lin Ruo's expression, it seemed that he wanted to teach his secret method of checking accounts, and he immediately became interested: "Second sister, after learning, you can check accounts as quickly as you do?" ”

Lin Ruo nodded: "Not only that, but you can also know the secrets that those shopkeepers want to hide and not report." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes flashed with a bright and eager light: "Second sister, then you teach me quickly, when I learn and finish the account book, you can continue to tell me the story of the White Snake!" ”

Lin Ruo smiled lightly, pulled him to sit beside him, took a blank piece of paper, wrote ten numbers 0~9 on it, and wrote zero, one, two, and three in Chinese characters correspondingly below...... Pounding, Jiu. Looking at Lin Qi's confused eyes, Lin Ruo smiled and explained to him in detail the meaning and memory methods corresponding to these "strange symbols".

Lin Qi had a good memory and quickly remembered the meaning of these zigzag symbols.

Then, Lin Ruo began to teach him the rules of ten-digit, hundred-digit, and beyond. Lin Qi listened to it, his eyes gradually lit up, and he mastered these rules in a short time, and his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he admired Lin Ruo very much: "Second sister, you have a good way of accounting money!" It's easy to remember, and it's highly confidential, so why don't you let all those shopkeepers keep accounts in this way? Then I won't look so big......"

Lin Ruo shook his head: "Although this method is simple, if the Lin family's account books are recorded in this way, it is very easy to have big problems." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qi looked at Lin Ruo in confusion: "What could be the problem?" ”

Lin Ruo added two "0s" after the "1" on the paper, and then looked at Lin Qi: "Do you understand?" ”

"This and this ......" Lin Qi was shocked, and immediately recalled what Lin Ruo meant, "This is really a big problem, no wonder you have never handed over this method to others, second sister." ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the accounts will be more complicated and the authenticity will be more difficult to investigate."

Lin Qi nodded in agreement: "However, it is indeed much easier for counting. What about accounting? ”

"It's easier."

Then he took the two amounts on the ledger, divided them into two lines and converted them into Arabic counting, wrote a "+" sign in front of the second number, and then drew a horizontal line under the two rows of numbers, and began to explain to him the vertical calculation method:

"In the upper and lower vertical lines, the numbers should be on them, add the two, and the end is nine; In the penultimate digit, the sum of the two numbers is thirteen, write three under the horizontal line, write one on the horizontal line, and add it to the count of the previous digit......"

Lin Ruo patiently explained while calculating on the paper, Lin Qi suddenly realized and praised loudly: "Second sister, you are too powerful!" No wonder you don't even need an abacus to settle accounts! ”

Lin Ruo smiled awkwardly in his heart, and thought to himself: Isn't it because I can't use abacus......

However, there was no different color on his face, and he was immediately taught the vertical calculation of subtraction.

"It's not just the addition and subtraction of two amounts, when you are proficient, you can classify the addition and subtraction on the entire page of the account book, and then calculate it in a unified manner, which is quite time-saving and trouble-saving."

Lin Qi pounded his head like garlic and agreed.

"Look at the inventory again. Although the time and quantity of different objects in the shop are different, the same type of objects do not change much. Lin Ruo pointed to the flour item in the book, "For example, the gluttonous sea, the flour purchased every month is roughly the same, fluctuating around seven hundred catties, and the biggest difference is only a few dozen catties." If you want to sum up the total amount of a year, you might as well take 700 as the base, 12 months, 700 per month, a total of 8,400, and then add up the fractional difference of each month, increase more and decrease less, and then calculate the result together with the previous calculation of 8,400 catties. ”

Lin Ruo said as he calculated, and after a while, he calculated the result.

It is also a simple addition and subtraction, but there are all kinds of changes, and the more Lin Qi listens, the more energetic he becomes.

"These are the easiest, you first calculate the grass flow, the trickle according to this. When you are proficient, I will teach you how to draw the table and add up the complicated contents in the inventory book and the silver inventory book. ”

"Okay!"

With such a convenient method, his interest in calculating the grass flow and the trickle stream on the side was very high, and his interest in accounting increased greatly, and he couldn't help but let out all kinds of admiration while calculating.

Lin Ruo smiled gently, took the drawing of the "Star Picking Tower", and continued to write his plan carefully.

The Lin family's business has been steadily developing for nearly ten years, and now, it is time to start harvesting.

"Xiang Xuehai" is just the beginning, and it is also one of the important bargaining chips for her to negotiate conditions with Murong Chong. And the next Star Picking Tower will be an important boost for the Lin family to take a step forward. There is no room for error in every link that is interlocking.

Unconsciously, the two sisters and brothers spent more than an hour in their respective affairs, if it weren't for the seventh child asking to see him outside the door, I'm afraid this morning would have passed.

"What's wrong, Seven?"

Lao Qi was originally also a secret guard under Meng Jiugongzi, but he followed this Lin Ruo many years ago, and now, he is Lin Ruo's housekeeper and one of the big treasurers of "Xiangxuehai".

Seeing his happy face, there must be some good news to be announced.

Sure enough, as soon as Lao Qi opened his mouth, he brought Lin Ruo an excellent news: "Young Miss, Lao Liang asked me to tell you that you have explained what he has done, and it is done!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruo happily got up from the chair in front of the desk and jumped in front of Lao Qi: "Really? ”

Lao Qi nodded affirmatively: "Yes, but he can't get out of the 'gluttonous sea', this matter is what you instructed him to do privately, young lady, no, Lao Liang is desperately urging me to report this good news to you!" ”

Lao Liang is a chef in charge of the 'gluttonous sea', but before that, he was a beggar, but not an ordinary beggar, a beggar who has studied food very well. When Lin Ruo listened to him brag, he asked people to call him over, entered the room of the gluttonous sea, ate a meal of the new dishes that were about to be launched, and the comments were to the point, and he also studied the dishes a little.

As for what he did in private, the corners of Lin Ruo's mouth raised a slight arc, which was also one of the bargaining chips used to discuss cooperation with King Rong. This is really God's help!

called Lin Qi, who was thinking about it, and asked Lao Qi to find the grass, put on the light yarn fence, and the group went to the "gluttonous sea" in a carriage.

Along the way, Lin Qi kept curiously trying to get some clues from Lin Ruo's mouth, but Lin Ruo kept smiling lightly.

The people who were laughing and laughing in the carriage didn't notice that in the carriage that passed by, there was Gu Ting, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials who had just returned from the early dynasty, with a pale face.
