Chapter 116 The Nine-Decimal Abacus

In fact, since Banniang knew that Lu Qiqi handed over the oil extraction to Li Yong, she already knew what this guy was planning, and when she saw that the fourth brother listened to Lu Qiqi's words, he showed a clear expression, but the fifth brother just pouted, and felt that the fifth brother was really worse than the fourth brother who was two years older than him in terms of insight into world affairs.

I thought of Lu Qiqi's evaluation of several brothers in her family, which was very accurate. The eldest brother is talented, capable and skillful, but unfortunately he is in the prime of life, but he has never been admitted to the Jinshi, and the second brother, he is a true scholar, he can benefit one party for the official, for the government, for himself, it may not be a good thing, the fourth brother is practical and calculating, although the personality is different from the eldest brother, but the strength is comparable, and the fifth brother is simply an outlier of the Zeng family, free and easy, uninhibited, talented, the road ahead, but it depends on how he goes, it is Xiao Jiu, Lu Qiqi just smiled and shook his head when he said Xiao Jiu.

Banniang is curious, maybe Lu Seventeen knows that he knows more about history than himself? Having the heart to ask, Lu Qiqi only said: "Let's look at it, your Xiaojiu is not a mortal after all." ”

Banniang already felt that Xiao Jiu's child was a little different from ordinary children, only in her heart, because she was her younger brother, how to look at it, how could she be a first-class eloquent, imaginative thinking, and Xiao Zhengtai, who could judge things from time to time.

Hearing Lu Qiqi say that Xiao Jiu was not an ordinary person in the future, Banniang didn't feel anything, and thought about it again, no matter what he would do in the future, wouldn't he be coquettish and cute behind her every day to eat and drink? After all, he just went to heaven, or is he his little ninth brother?

It's Lu Seventeen, every time he sees Xiao Jiu, he will give him a bunch of benefits, so that as soon as Xiao Jiu sees Lu Seventeen, he is really closer than seeing his own brother, looking at the intimacy of the two, Banniang feels all kinds of unhappy.

secretly scolded Lu Seventeen for not being kind, he should know something, but he didn't say it, he didn't say it, and he also held his own cheat, and gave himself the benefit of working with foresight.

The question is crooked, Banniang retracted her thoughts, Shiro and Goro heard about the soybean oil extraction, and they were also very curious, so they asked Lu Qiqi to call that Li Yong and ask carefully.

Banniang didn't want to face the frog's fat face, and remembered something again, so she said: "Brothers sit first, I'll lead the sixth sister around first." ”

Shiro said: "The male customers of the shop, don't lead your sixth sister to run around." ”

Banniang smiled: "Fourth brother is really, am I a child?" Naturally, there is a place to go. ”

Lu Qiqi didn't want Li Yong to see his little lady, and it was a nonsense to turn around, there was no door to the mouth of the goods, and Liuniang was the eldest girl's family, and when she saw the son and brother outside, she was so virtuous, it was not good in the end, so she said: "Then the eighth sister, you can ask the sixth lady to go around the shop, so that you can give us some advice." ”

Liuniang quipped: "Yo, let's do it now, the eighth sister is amiable, but call me Miss Six, can't I be your sixth sister?" ”

Lu Qiqi didn't expect that the seventh mother of the Zeng family was a gentle one, and the mouth of this sixth mother was very good, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, the eighth mother glanced at Liu Niang and dragged her out.

"Where are you dragging me going?" Out of the private room, the wind outside blew through the pane to Liuniang standing in the corridor, slightly cool, Liuniang shrunk her shoulders and asked.

In fact, Banniang was hesitating, because of the arrival of Liu Rushui, several private rooms that were originally still in the space were also full of guests, that is, the hall on the first floor was full of guests, and the popularity suddenly increased a lot, and seeing that Liu Rushui ordered all the most expensive dishes, I knew that people were here to help, so I thought, should I go to thank you.

But she couldn't keep Liuniang there alone, and the fourth brother wanted to meet Li Yong and ask about soybean oil, so he simply dragged Liuniang out.

At this time, as soon as the cold wind blew, Liu Niang sighed secretly, even if people came to help, it was just to help him Lu Seventeen, what did he have to do with himself? Besides, even if she sincerely thanked her, Liu Rushui might not want to see her face, so she might as well go to the kitchen and tell the cook to cook a few good dishes and send them over for free. No matter how big it is, just send a few more vouchers.

Thinking of this, Banniang laughed again, didn't she want to send it? If this Liu Rushui can come to Sheraton a few more times, wouldn't it be a free advertisement for Sheraton that doesn't cost money?

It's better to act than to move.

Banniang pulled Liuniang: "Take Liuniangniang to see our kitchen." There is also a tea room that I keep for myself, and after eating things all night, I personally made tea for Liuniang to eat. ”

I just went downstairs, I met Cang'er, Banniang asked a few words about how the guests reacted, Cang'er was very excited: "Don't mention how good, as soon as the customers who have finished eating have vacated the table, there are already guest seats guarded outside, Banniang, do you know how much we have charged?" It's more than eighty, if you pay for the meal all night......"

Cang's eyes have a dream.

Banniang looked funny, and when she thought that she had only received more than 80 times at this time, she was in a good mood. He asked Cang'er: "Nothing else, right?" If someone is looking for trouble, Lu Qiqi will be on the third floor, and when the time comes, you can send someone to find him. ”

Cang'er clenched his fists under the light and laughed twice.

Banniang glanced at her, and asked her if she wanted to go to have a cup of tea together, Cang'er rarely felt so busy, plus the eighty guan who had touched his hand, it was when he was in a good mood, how could he be in the mood to accompany them to drink any tea, and Liu Niang and Banniang said hello, Banniang asked him to go to the kitchen and order, send a few free dishes and two desserts to Liu Rushui, and asked Cang'er to turn around and collect money, send a few more gold rolls, Cang'er responded, and went to do his own errands.

Banniang had to go to a small tearoom for Banniang behind the men's lounge.

The two ignored the noise outside, talking between sisters, and before they knew it, a lot of time had passed, and they came straight to urge: "Banniang, most of the guests have eaten and paid for dinner at this time, and they are very busy in front, I can't be busy collecting money, you come to help." ”

Banniang called the guys to come and wanted to send Liuniang to the brothers on the third floor, but was stopped by Liuniang: "You are busy with your going, it is quiet here, I will sit here." When the fourth brother and the fifth brother are going back in a while, you will call me again. ”

In the end, the front is a business place, and it is very chaotic, and Banniang can't help but force Liuniang, and go to the front hall with Cang'er.

Sure enough, this is the time when the guests have eaten and drunk enough, and they have called their friends to leave the table.

The big counter is enough to accommodate Banniang's small body, Banniang took the orders of each table, and took out a nine-entry abacus specially asked Liu Erlang to help her from under the counter, and placed it on the counter inside.

Almost a minute of a list of liquidation speed, calculated the total amount of each list, took a brush, wrote on it, and handed it to Cang'er: "When the guests at each table come, they will receive it according to the amount of money on it, how much is the original price, and after a 20% discount, they will say more, and they must explain it to the guests." ”

Cang'er took it, but stared at the small beads in the upper and lower rows of the rectangular forest frame in her hand that still exuded woody fragrance: "Banniang, this, this is the calculation?" ”

"Hmm." Banniang's subordinates continued, accumulating a large stack of orders, she only counted half, the more she calculated, the more happy she became, a small half of the calculations, a rough estimate, no less than 200 times, deducting the cost of ingredients, staff salaries, and two years evenly apportioned to the daily decoration costs, it is enough to fight for more than 50 times, not to mention that half of it has not been counted.

Cang'er was interested in this calculation, and asked again: "I said Banniang, how is this different from the calculation I know?" ”

Of course it's different, this is the nine-decimal system of later generations, and the decimal system that has only been adopted by the Great Song Dynasty is naturally different, and the nine-decimal system is easier and faster, but this Baniang will not talk to Cang'er, only a word.

Seeing that Cang'er was about to ask again, Banniang raised her head and said, "Do you want to learn this?" ”

Of course, I want to learn, or I don't see her busy settling accounts, and I won't say these gossips. Cang'er nodded.

Banniang smiled: "It's also easy, it just so happens that you have to use it for your daily rent, and I'll teach you when I go back." Very studious. ”

Originally, I did this just to make it convenient when settling accounts, but there is no calculator at this time. Besides, she can't stay in the restaurant all the time, Cang'er is now responsible for the daily money, and she wanted to teach her before, but she didn't have time to spare, now Cang'er took the initiative to learn, how could she refuse?
