Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Numbers
Because of Chen Jianchen's repeated interference, now Mo Sanniang no longer weaves and weaves cloth, but takes it out and sells it. In her spare time, however, she still entertains herself by weaving on the machines that have been with her for many years. Then the woven cloth was cut and sewn into clothes for Chen Jianchen to wear.
These clothes, although the style is a bit monotonous, are very delicate and durable, and not a single thread that leaks out can be found.
Chen Jianchen liked it very much.
If you don't sell cloth, you won't have income, so the responsibility of supporting your family has been handed over to Chen Jianchen's shoulders early, which is also within his responsibility.
In the past, Liaozhai opened and sold words to make money, and the amount of money earned was naturally managed by Mo Sanniang and accumulated. Chen Jianchen never asked about this.
Mo Sanniang has never read a book, she can only write her own name, and she can only make sense of the account calculation. This "slightly" means that only some relatively simple small calculations can be made. She used to sell cloth, which was a small business, and she basically had no accounts to calculate, so she was naturally competent.
However, since moving to Jiangzhou to help his son manage the Liaozhai business, the business has become a little complicated, so complicated that Mo San felt a little difficult.
Fortunately, at this time, Ah Bao was there, she followed Chen Jianchen to read and write, very hard, and slowly took over the work of calculating the accounts, and completed it in an orderly manner.
For this goddaughter who knows the roots, Mo Sanniang likes it very much. Because Chen Jianchen has been away for a long time, she and Ah Bao are basically the only ones left at home, and the relationship is extraordinary.
So, over time, Mo Sanniang simply handed over the family's financial power to Ah Bao to take care of.
Of course, this so-called "finance" is actually extremely thin.
Do not sell cloth. He stopped selling words, and the main input was the consistent money that Chen Jianchen took home every month - this money, he said, was earned in the academy.
Chen Jianchen has a large amount of money in the bank, the problem is that he doesn't dare to take it home, seeing such a huge wealth, he is afraid that his mother will faint on the spot.
Besides, there is really no need for this.
Therefore, on the surface, the Chen family in Jiangzhou City can only be regarded as a low-class family, and the most valuable thing is a house. This time, in order to prepare for Chen Jianchen's marriage. Mo Sanniang and Ah Bao worked together again and again, so they came up with a feasible plan. It is mainly Po who is in charge of the expense accounts.
Ah Bao was articulate and told the sources of various expenses in one breath, and it was exactly the same. Only then did Chen Jianchen, who realized it later, realize her talent for managing accounts.
Chen Jianchen didn't care about where these expenses went. Just listen to it. After dinner, he called Ah Bao into the study, first praised the girl a few words, and then said, "Ah Bao, are you willing to learn arithmetic?"
Arithmetic is a subject that has courses in all major academies in the world, but it is more clumsy and cumbersome. The abacus is mainly used as the main calculation tool, and there is not much difference in the form of rules.
Ah Bao's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Liuxian, of course I'm willing." ”
Chen Jianchen groaned slightly. Soon he wrote 1234567890 words on a blank piece of paper, but they were Arabic numerals that had not yet appeared in the world.
As soon as these words like chicken intestines were written, Ah Bao's eyes widened, and Ying Ning next to him also looked at them with interest, not figuring out what they meant.
Chen Jianchen coughed dryly, feeling that his advantages as a traverser could finally be slowly revealed, and he could apply some practical knowledge to this world and improve efficiency. It's a good thing after all. So he began to slowly explain to Po one by one the meaning of numbers, as well as the simplest rules of "addition and subtraction".
In terms of learning. Bao's talent is obviously not as outstanding as the little fox, after listening to it three or four times. Ying Ning has basically mastered it. However, she didn't say anything, but once again cast a surprised look at Chen Jianchen: "Gongzi is really powerful, how did he come up with this simple and feasible method? Well, that's weird. ”...,
Ah Bao's learning talent is not as good as Ying Ning, but she is hard working and tenacious, and after about an hour, she slowly understands.
"Brother Liuxian, your arithmetic is so easy to use, with it, I don't have to take an abacus to settle accounts. ”
Indeed, having mastered the method of addition and subtraction, for general accounts, oral arithmetic alone is enough to deal with it.
Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "You can use it if you think it's easy to use, as the saying goes, 'practice makes perfect', you will often use it in the future, and it won't take long to get fully started." ”
"Well, I'll go back to my room and continue practicing. She wanted to take it back to the room to study it by herself, but she was afraid that it would delay Chen Jianchen's time to study.
"Okay, if there's anything you don't understand, ask me again. ”
Po didn't ask where this calculation method came from, because for her, it was only necessary to make it clear that this method was taught by Brother Liuxian. As for the rest, there is no need to know.
She didn't ask, but it didn't mean that Ying Ning didn't ask: "Childe, the way these numbers are calculated is what you dreamed of again." ”
Chen Jianchen blinked: "I want to say this, but I'm afraid that if you say too much, you won't believe it." ”
The little fox giggled: "As long as you say it, of course Ying Ning will believe it." ”
Chen Jianchen was greatly touched, and felt that he was really very lucky, and although he had suffered a lot, he had gained more.
Lying at home and taking a nap, after waking up and writing for a while, Wang Fu and the three of them came to the door, looking for Chen Jianchen to go to the bird building to eat and drink.
During Chen Jianchen's trip to Zhezhou, Wang Fu and Xi Fangping occasionally came to the Chen family to greet them, so Mo Sanniang knew each other and knew that they were his son's classmates and friends.
It is really normal for classmates to have fun together, so after a few casual words, Chen Jianchen and the others went out.
At the door, Wang Fu glanced at the Golden Needle Zhai opposite, and whispered to Chen Jianchen: "Liuxian, Miss Lu has always been in love with you, have you ever thought about how to place it?"
Chen Jianchen asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Fu said categorically: "This woman has both good character and appearance, so she should be married." ”
Chen Jianchen said indifferently: "On the eighth day of the sixth month, but please come to the cold house to drink a glass of wine." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Fu and the others were stunned, and only after half a sound did they react, and they all said happily loudly.
Wang Fu complained: "Liuxian is so tightly hidden, if the foolish brother doesn't ask at this time, and he won't know until a few days later, I won't even have enough effort to prepare a congratulatory gift, and I should be punished!"
Xiao Hanfeng and Xi Fangping immediately agreed, wanting to punish Chen Jianchen for drinking.
The four of them laughed and walked all the way.
Behind them, a disgusted and shy jiāo face leaned out of the door of Jinzhenzhai, staring at Chen Jianchen's back with a vein—according to custom, it was not suitable for them to meet during this period. Therefore, the girl can only use this method to look at the scholar who is about to become her man, and just want to be able to look like this forever......!.
