With Meng Guangmei's kind words in front of Mrs. and Miss, Shanji has become the most sought-after restaurant in Xinning City.

For a while, the other restaurants on Xiangshui Street were popular, and the first floor of Shanji was full, and the second floor only received three tables a day, even if they spent a lot of money, they had to wait for an appointment.

Every night, when Zhou Shuli was settling accounts in front of the counter with the account book, he had to marvel at the daily income of Shanji.

On this day, Shanji had just closed, and Zhou Shuli had already opened the account book, fiddling with the abacus beads to calculate the accounts carefully.

The sky became darker and darker, Huang Guizhi put an oil lamp on the counter, added ink to the inkstone, and stood with Zhou Shuli to help him count the day's income.

Zhou Shuli wrote a good hand, but he was a little ashamed, and when he saw Gui Zhi adding fragrance to his red sleeves by his side, he was even more embarrassed, and he only looked down to settle the account, and was happy while calculating.

The corners of his mouth rose higher and higher, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

Gui Zhi is literate, but he doesn't know how to count, and when he saw Zhou Shuli calculating, he laughed, thinking that it was a considerable income, and he was also happy, and grabbed Zhou Shuli's sleeve and said busily: "How is it?" ”

Zhou Shuli was thinking about Huang Guizhi in his mind, and when he heard her ask how it was, he naturally thought that he was asking himself how he felt she was by his side, so he blurted out: "Very good, very good." ”

Gui Zhi's little face flushed with excitement: "How good is it that very good?" ”

A few days ago, Gui Zhi and Xiao Lou went to Xinning again, and agreed with Sun Carpenter and his wife to build a farm, although they knew that Shanji had a considerable income, but they didn't know how much.

Zhou Shuli listened to Gui Zhi's question, his face was even redder, but the atmosphere was baked here, and when he heard his ears, it seemed that Gui Zhi was coquettish with himself.

Twisting his back, he stretched out another hand, pinched the brush, and drew a vertical on the white paper on the countertop, and then drew a series of circles next to it, until he was almost outside the white paper, and then stopped.

Huang Guizhi was stunned, what does this series of ghost painting symbols mean? Looking at words doesn't look like words, and looking at paintings doesn't look like paintings......

"You don't understand, this is what Xiaolou taught me, it's called lowercase numbers." Zhou Shuli handed the paper to Gui Zhi and pointed to the one in front of him, "Oh, this is one." ”

Jin Xiaolou also looked at the complicated amount capitalized in Chinese characters on the account book on the first day of Zhou Shuli's accounting, and suddenly realized that people in this era had never seen Arabic numerals.

So she taught Zhou Shuli lowercase numbers and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and silently wrote a ninety-nine multiplication table to teach him.

Nowadays, although Zhou Shuli is not very proficient in using it, he has shortened the time required for accounting by more than half with the abacus and simple number operation.

Several times Zhou Shuli felt that if Jin Xiaolou was a man, he would definitely be able to become a champion in high school and become an important minister of the country.

That would be a blessing for the whole Great Week.

Zhou Shuli quietly glanced up at Gui Zhi's expression, and saw that her face was as bright as clouds, and she was even more in a mood, and then pointed to the circle behind her: "That's zero, Xiaolou said that the more zeros follow behind, the bigger the number, oh, ten hundred million, ten million, one hundred million, one hundred million, one trillion is a trillion, and the back is a trillion, then there are as many stars in the sky......"

As soon as these words came out, Gui Zhi's heart was about to stop, what a huge amount this is, Gui Zhi didn't dare to think about it, but she was full of doubts, she wouldn't be a fool to talk about dreams, even if Shan Ji made money every day, it was impossible to earn so much silver in one day, and just as he wanted to ask, he listened to Zhou Shuli speak again.

"Guizhi, you're so good. It is as bright and charming as the stars in the sky. ”

Zhou Shuli didn't dare to look at Huang Guizhi, lowered his head, and buttoned the buckle on his shirt with his hand, and didn't hear Guizhi make a sound for a long time, so he raised his head.

I didn't know that there was no one around.

Gui Zhi was full of expectations, waiting for Zhou Shuli to tell him how much money the restaurant had earned, but he didn't know that after waiting for a long time, he heard him say something inexplicable, and couldn't wait to hold the account book and ran to the backyard to find Jin Xiaolou.

Only then did it become clear that Shanji alone earned fifty taels of silver today, and calculated that he had earned a total of two hundred taels in the past few days, which was the income of other stores for half a year.

Gui Zhi was so excited that his little face was red, and he was so happy that he picked up Jin and turned around several times in a row, until Gao Lang rushed in, snatched Jin Xiaolou from Gui Zhi like a child snatching a watermelon, and hugged him into his arms.

Jin Xiaolou was speechless, this Gao Lang is now becoming more and more cautious, and even Guizhi's vinegar has to be eaten.

……

Jin Xiaolou had already sent the silver to the Sun family.

With the support of Li Zheng, most of the villagers in Jingkou Village rented out their fields, and the transformation and construction of the village was in full swing for a while.

The fields and poultry and livestock were collected and managed, and the men were busy repairing the trellises for the livestock and poultry.

The women no longer have to feed the pigs at home, and the new work has not yet been arranged, but they have free time to sit by the well at the entrance of the village and talk about the shortcomings of the family.

Zhou was passing by with a hoe on his shoulder, when he heard the voice of a woman with a broken mouth: "The Jin family also deserves retribution, and sold their own granddaughter for ten taels of silver." How do you know that Jin Xiaolou is really profitable, not to mention that he has earned a lot of silver, and he also pulls his fellow villagers and neighbors to make a fortune together, but he doesn't give them a penny to the Jin family. ”

"But no, now there is only one man in the Jin family, Jin Xiaolou said again that he doesn't need his field, a large field can't be cultivated, and even women have to carry a hoe to work in the field, but it can be evil."

In the last sentence, the woman opened her throat, and it was clear that she was talking to Zhou.

The Jin family was originally difficult and difficult to provoke in Jingkou Village, the main reason is that their family has three sons and one grandson.

But now, Jin Lei was dragged to the army, Jin Shou ran away with his daughter-in-law, Jin Dacheng became a vain ghost with a whimper, and the Jin family was left with only one man, Jin Shun, Jin Shun is still a soft bun, anyone can pinch it twice and not say anything, and he doesn't dare to put a fart inside and out.

Even Zhou, who had the most temper, didn't dare to raise his head when he heard the ridiculous words in front of this person.

Zhou lost his son, and his husband was gone, and he had no support, and he suddenly aged more than ten years old, and ran over with his neck bent, leaving those ugly words far behind.

It wasn't until he returned to Jin's house that he threw the hoe and cried loudly.

In the room, Xu was pinching Wu's shoulder.

As soon as Wu Shunbi heard the crying outside, she frowned in annoyance, and shouted angrily: "Are you crying for me?" I'm not dead yet! ”

Zhou was startled, quickly closed his mouth, wiped away his tears and went into the house.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Wu saw Zhou's swollen and bubble eyes, and he was even more angry, grabbed the cotton pillow he was leaning on behind and threw it at her.

Zhou didn't dare to hide, let the pillow be thrown on him, and then said bitterly: "Mother, do you know that those people outside are laughing at us!" Jin Xiaolou's dog thing, spending a little bit of silver to envelop those people's hearts. ”

The more Zhou spoke, the more angry he became: "I really hate it!" When she was still in our house, I had so many ways to kill her! ”

"That's it!" Wu was a little impatient, "You're just too stupid......"

Speaking of this, Wu let out a rare long sigh, her three daughters-in-law, obedient are useless, and their hearts are too ruthless, that wolf-hearted Liu Yuyan should have hung up and killed her early!

"Isn't Jin Xiaolou going to make two dollars?" Wu's eyes rolled, "The skin is still connected with tendons, no matter how much she Jin Xiaolou turns it, she can't turn it out of my palm." Anyway, she's my granddaughter too, and all the money she earns ends up going into my pocket! ”

"Mother, what do you mean?" Zhou's eyes widened.

Wu smiled predictively: "For so many days, she has earned almost enough, and we will ask for money tomorrow!" ”

"Mother, she has never been kind to see us, how can she give us money." Xu couldn't help but interject.

In the past, at this time, Xu would never speak, and even if he did, he would only get the eyes of others.

But now, she is very different from the past, this family can only rely on her man, not to mention, her daughter is still the young lady of the county government, and the official has to give three points of face.

Sure enough, Wu Shi not only did not get angry, but was relieved: "When the time comes, you two will follow me behind, and this silver will be approved, unless she Jin Xiaolou doesn't want to open the door to do business!" ”
