However, those people obviously overcomplicated things, and Shen An'an and Mo Yu were not ordinary people.

"Next, you all get ready, and the competition will officially begin." After Xu Lao finished speaking, he ordered someone to prepare an hourglass behind Mo Yu and Shen An'an. In ancient times, people did not have clocks, so to keep time, most of them would use hourglasses or incense. Whoever has more hourglass leaks means that he uses it longer, and vice versa, who uses the hourglass time. The least hourglass, then whoever is the victorious side. Of course, this is due to the fact that in the case of the correct rate, the time is the same, and then the length of time is compared.

If it takes a short time and the answer is wrong, then the winning side is still the one with the highest correct rate.

This time, Shen Anan will not hold on to it anymore, after all, this is a big project, which is nothing more than a test of people's patience and carefulness, which requires the cooperation of many people to successfully complete it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do it even if she had three heads and six arms, because she only had one smart mind.

The helper she chose this time must be proficient in business, and there is a key point, that is, to be fast and careful, all three are indispensable.

But fortunately, when Shen Anan was in the first round of the competition, he began to pay attention to the people around him who came to calculate. Therefore, when Xu Lao said that he asked them to prepare, Shen Anan had already aimed at the goal.

The person was invited by Li Sheng in person, and it is estimated that when Li Sheng walked in front of those people, they still looked confused. This time, Shen Anan ordered a total of three people, and it turned out to be the three people from Taoyuan Academy invited by Ning Zhifu, and there was a woman among them. That woman is the one who was sweating profusely when she was tired of carrying those papers, inks, pens, and inkstones. Standing next to her were her two senior brothers, one tall and one thin, like her flower messengers.

When they first saw Li Sheng walking towards them, the three of them were shocked, thinking that they had made some mistake and that this person had come to settle the score. After all, Li Sheng's coldness and unkindness are famous.

But when facing Shen An'an, he is very gentle, which can be described as a contradiction.

Later, I learned that they were "flipped over" by Shen Anan, which was called an excitement. If it was at the beginning, these three people would definitely be unwilling to stand on Shen An'an's side, after all, Mo Yu is a talent. Now they saw Shen An'an reveal that hand, and they instantly turned to powder, and their attitude can be described as a 180-degree change.

After being named to help, the three of them didn't run too fast, and after nodding, they immediately took their own things and walked to Shen An'an's side.

The man at the head actually met with Shen Anan before, so they didn't know each other. After seeing Shen An'an, he hurriedly greeted her. "Hello Mrs. Shen, we are all from Lingyun Academy, if you have anything to tell you, just say yes, we will definitely do our best to help you."

It turned out that they were from Lingyun Academy, Shen An'an smiled faintly at them, and said to them, "Thank you for your willingness to help today, maybe you command, everyone is just helping each other." ”

The other two also expressed their attitude, they didn't expect Shen Anan to have no frame at all. After the young and very light woman next to them saw Shen An'an's appearance, she felt very amazing, and couldn't help but say something in her mouth. "Oh my God, Mrs. Shen, you are so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen someone as beautiful as you."

"The necklace you wear around your neck is also very chic." After speaking, he stared at Shen Anan twice. provoked the senior brother next to him, and hurriedly gestured to her, asking her not to shout like this, girls should have the dignity and generosity of girls.

The woman didn't care too much, but was still immersed in the amazement of Shen An'an's beauty. That's because she has never seen such a temperamental woman as Shen An'an. Even if it's just a simple ornament on her sideburns, it can make her face shine. The long skirt that fits her very well wraps her delicate curves even more concave and convex, plus the necklace around her neck.

It makes her look very feminine. It is different from the classical and subtle beauty of the women here. She is shining, she is dazzling, she is beautiful and generous, noble like a queen, and she can only be looked up to.

Shen Anan felt that this woman was quite innocent and cute, and after a little contact with these three people, she felt that they were all in line with her expectations.

These three people are originally together, and they should cooperate more on weekdays. This is better than inviting some people individually. And she had observed it before just now, although everyone was settling accounts together, the speed of these three people was quite good among those.

She doesn't need these to be god operators or anything, as long as she does things seriously and doesn't be sloppy, it's fine. Those who have the ability are more conceited and difficult to mobilize.

"Okay, thank you for helping me do things today, and it's up to you whether our side can win or not."

After speaking, Shen Anan stopped talking nonsense, and directly called them to one place and told them what to do. Originally, they thought that Shen Anan would use some top-secret method to reconcile the accounts this time.

Later, I found out that it was also a stupid solution.

Shen Anan asked each of them to make a ledger, and then recorded the daily incoming and outgoing accounts on a piece of paper. When bookkeeping, each item is separated.

For example, how many catties of rice are traveling today, and how many catties of japonica rice are sold. How much glutinous rice is in, how much is sold. The daily details should be written clearly.

Of course Shen An'an won't let Sanniang and them be idle, the three people here are bookkeepers, Sanniang Qingying and Chu Lin will help reconcile the accounts, and if they don't finish checking the book, they will hand it over to Shen An'an to finally check and calculate the results.

This method is the fastest and most concise and effective method that Shen Anan has come up with so far.

And Shen Anan will also make a table and a graph of sales receipts, so that he can analyze the sales market and the like.

Mo Yu's side is also in a big battle, with the lesson of the previous time, this time he must show twelve points of caution, and strive to do the best and the fastest.

For a while, I only heard the sound of "crackling" abacus from the scene, and suddenly I heard it, and thought it was raining outside, and the sound was very crisp and beautiful.

Everyone is very conscious, even when they are talking, they are very quiet.

Here, Master Mu looked at Xu Lao, Ning Zhifu and Master Jiang, and asked, "I don't know who you like?" ”

Master Jiang looked at this side, looked at that side, and gently stroked his hand on his chin: "Seeing that the strength of both sides is about the same, with so many account books, it is difficult to make a decision on who will win and who will lose." I don't know Xu Lao and Ning Zhifu, but they have the answer in their hearts. ”

"I'm optimistic about Moyu this time, he has been helping his father settle accounts since he was a child. Some of their Mo family's horse business dealings are also in his hands, and these are not simple accounts, they are extremely complicated. ”

"I'm still optimistic about Ann Yatou, so I'll choose her because of her cleverness."

"This shouldn't be a matter of cleverness, it's a real calculation, and opportunistic shortcuts are not tolerated." Elder Xu said to Governor Ning.

Governor Ning's mansion likes Shen An'an more than his own daughter, this girl is too face-saving for him, and she is a good and clever person. Based on his own intuition, he felt that Shen Anan would definitely win.

Because this girl is not an unobtrusive person, since she agreed to the competition, it is estimated that she has a great chance of winning.

"Of course I know this, but how do you know that Ann Yatou won't settle accounts. I think she is very good at business, and the idea she came up with was really fast and good. ”

Seeing that the two adults were arguing, Lord Jiang was very noisy and said, "You two, let's rest." Now is not the time for a battle of words, let's sit quietly here, drink tea, eat snacks, and wait for their final results. ”

"It's going to take a few hours, and if you don't let us speak, you're going to suffocate us to death." Old Xu couldn't help but rush at Master Jiang.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say it."

An hour passed,

When it was less than two hours, Shen Anan said that she had calculated the result here.

Unexpectedly, Shen An'an's side just said that it was calculated, and Moyu's side also came out with the result.

Seeing this result, Governor Ning and Elder Xu couldn't help but glance at each other, and the two said together: "Let's go and see the final answer." ”

However, it took two and a half hours for the checking team to calculate the final result.

From this point, it can be seen that this second question is also fair and just, because none of the people present knew the correct answer in advance.

In fact, even if someone knows the answer, it is not clear in one sentence, so whether it is cheating or not, and whether it can cheat, is not in the scope of their consideration.

The next step is the accuracy of the most important thing.

"Shen girl, you will come up with the answer first, or you can come." Elder Xu turned his gaze to Shen An'an.

Shen Anan looked at Xu Lao, turned his gaze to Mo Yu and said, "Let him come first." ”

"Okay, then Moyu, you come first, you come first."

Both sides have already handed in their final answers, and they still have the draft in their hands.

"Okay, then you're welcome. The answer I calculated here is that Mi Xing earned a thousand taels last year. The cloth shop lost two thousand taels. The restaurant's business lost 500 taels. After Mo Yu finished speaking, he looked at Shen An'an's side.

"Please take a seat, and we will look at the answer from Mrs. Shen's side next."

"The rice shop made a thousand taels, and the cloth shop also lost two thousand." Hearing this, Mo Yu felt a little comforted in his heart, but Shen An'an's last sentence suddenly changed.

"The restaurant earned five hundred taels last year."

At this time, Mo Yu almost laughed, and couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden, and said: "How is it possible, I calculated very clearly, obviously it is a loss of five hundred taels." ”

At this time, Mo Yu almost laughed, and couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden, and said: "How is it possible, I calculated very clearly, obviously it is a loss of five hundred taels." ”

"Really? But didn't you see that it was written in the account book that Pearl Restaurant donated a thousand taels? Counting this additional expense, their restaurant didn't make 500 taels last year. ”

As soon as Shen An'an said this, Mo Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he actually forgot about this item, and he was immediately annoyed.
