Chapter 120: Abacus Essence
Facts have proved that Qi Ling, this little girl, is like a little lucky star given to Gu Jinfeng by God.
Not only can she do anything, but she has also slowly changed Gu Jinfeng in many places.
After all, Gu Jinfeng in the past would not have said the kind of warm words just now.
He was able to change from a cold person to a flesh-and-blood person, and as his best and only friend, Meng Huan, he was naturally happy for him.
Seeing that Meng Huan recognized the gift he had given, and with a smile on his face, Qi Ling was also relieved, after all, giving a gift is only for the person receiving the gift to be happy.
"I don't think it's too early, so let's open the door of the shop first."
Gu Jinfeng opened his mouth and said.
Qi Ling nodded, "Yes, no matter whether it opens now or not, we have to release the flower basket first." ”
Meng Huan took a deep breath, walked to the front door of the shop, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
As soon as I saw that the door had been opened, the people who were queuing outside were about to rush in, they had been waiting for a long time, and some of them had no patience.
So at this moment, they were scrambling to squeeze into the store, and they didn't even care about the formation, it was bustling and it looked a little chaotic.
Seeing this, Qi Ling hurriedly walked to the front and shouted.
"Don't worry, listen to me first!"
Because he often shouts like this in the village, these days, Qi Ling can be regarded as practicing a skill.
When he shouted, his voice was loud and the words were round, and he could have a fight with a modern horn.
Sure enough, when she shouted like this, everyone immediately stood still, wanting to hear what she would say.
"I know everyone is a little anxious, but our store is newly opened, and we still need to prepare some things, please cooperate with us, in addition to the event, we will have gifts to give in a while."
When they heard that there were still gifts, these people immediately stopped complaining and honestly lined up again.
Seeing that they were so cooperative, Qi Ling commanded again.
"Look, you're queuing up like this, and you're just taking up the road, and it's hard for anyone to get past here, so we're going to line up sideways ......."
With that, Qi Ling walked into the crowd, sorted out the line for everyone, and just vacated the door of the shop.
Seeing this, Gu Jinfeng, together with Xiaofeng and Meng Huan, carried out several large flower baskets, placed three on the left and right, and turned the side with the red paper facing outward.
Just this placement, the shop feels different, in Qi Ling's words, that is:
Gordon's atmosphere is high-grade, low-key luxury has connotation, three words, there are cards!
Sure enough, the people who were queuing up were also interested in several large flower baskets and discussed them one after another.
Qi Ling glanced at Meng Huan, saw him nodded, and knew that he was ready, so he shouted again at the crowd in line.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation just now, now the shop is ready to open."
"However, because the doctor needs some quiet to see a doctor, so let's go in four people at a time, come out one, and go in again, do you know?"
Qi Ling felt like a tour guide as he spoke, and he almost held a small flag in his hand.
The four people at the front of the line listened to Qi Ling's words and hurriedly walked in.
Only the first person came to see Meng Huan, and the remaining three came to buy pills.
But they saw on the advertising page that many of today's over-the-counter medicines are much cheaper than what they can buy on a regular basis.
"Get me twenty pills to nourish my heart, no, it's better to have thirty pills."
"I also want forty pills of ginseng to raise Rong pills, but you said on this page, one pill only costs eighty copper plates, it's not a lie! Elsewhere, more than a hundred copper plates have been sold,"
Someone asked suspiciously, when he saw the page, he couldn't believe it, and wanted to ask if it was true, but the shop was not open for the past two days.
So although I lined up, I still had some doubts in my heart.
Qi Ling smiled and explained to him gently.
"Don't worry, everything we write on this page is true, but it's only for one day today, so it's a good deal for you to buy today."
"And because you're in the top fifty today, we'll give you half the price at the end."
After hearing this, the old man opened his mouth to ask another question.
"Is that because the effect of your medicine is not good, or the herbs you use are not good? It's too cheap, isn't it? ”
Hearing his words, Qi Ling was not angry, and turned to Xiao Feng and commanded.
"Xiaofeng, you first take one of the two medicines that this guest asked for and show him it."
Xiao Feng was a little angry when he heard him say that there was a problem with the efficacy of the medicine, but these medicines were made by him and other people with hard work, and each pill was real.
But after listening to Qi Ling's words, he directly took out two large porcelain bottles from the cabinet behind him, poured out a pill each, and put them on the table.
Qi Ling's face was full of confidence, and he pointed to the medicine on the table and said to the person just now.
"You can see for yourself, our medicine will only be better than other families, it will not be worse than other families, if you still don't believe it, we can't do anything about it."
The man reached out and put the two pills on the table in front of his nose, sniffed them, and did smell exactly the same as he usually ate.
So he put the medicine down and nodded.
"Okay, I'll just trust you once, hurry up and help me get the medicine!"
Xiao Feng persuaded Qi Ling in a few words, and admired him very much, and took the clean kraft paper that had been cut in his hand.
The two medicines that this man asked for were packed separately, and the quantity was ordered in front of him, and then they were stacked.
He was about to ask the clerk in the store to calculate how much money it was, but he didn't expect Qi Ling to quote the price directly.
"The heart pill you want is fifty copper plates and one pill, you want thirty pills, a total of one or two and five dollars, and the ginseng Yangrong pill is eighty copper plates and one grain, and you want forty pills, a total of three taels and two dollars."
"These two things add up to a total of four taels and eight dollars, and because you are the first fifty, after the half-price discount, it is two or four dollars, so you only need to pay two or two or four dollars."
After listening to Qi Ling's words, not only Xiao Feng, but even the guest was surprised.
She didn't even plan to disc, she just said the price by calculating, which is too powerful! It's just an abacus!
Qi Ling saw that they were just looking at him blankly, and thought that he had miscalculated the price, and after checking it, he didn't find any problems, so he was very puzzled in his heart.
What she didn't know was that because this dynasty did not have a ninety-nine multiplication table, except for some basic addition and subtraction, other calculations needed to be done with the help of an abacus.
