Chapter Seventy-Six: 50 Taels of Silver
Guan Shopkeeper is in business, of course, he knows that the cost of boneless is definitely greater than that of ordinary chicken feet.
Liu Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, if the taste is wrong, I will change it later." ”
Boneless chicken feet are more flavorful, probably because of the removal of the bones, it tastes more and more, listening to Liu Wan say this, Guan shopkeeper denied:
"Boneless chicken feet are really delicious, with more garlic and sweet and sour taste, and more flavor."
Liu Wan felt like a student waiting for the results of the exam, but she didn't expect to be so praised by the shopkeeper, and she was in a good mood.
The most pity is that the chicken feet are not easy to find, the quantity is not enough, and now it can only be supplied in limited quantities to Wangjiang Tower.
Liu Wan took out the abacus from the back basket, put it on the table, and said to the shopkeeper:
"This is the abacus I told you, after learning to plan the abacus, the efficiency of accounting is more than doubled."
The shopkeeper looked at the abacus and asked:
"How do you use this thing? How do you settle accounts? ”
Liu Wan asked him to bring an account book, the thick account book was 5 centimeters thick, Liu Wan turned the account book with her left hand, and dialed the abacus beads with her right hand.
A pillar of incense kung fu, Liu Wan came to a conclusion and said:
"This is the receipt of 428 taels of silver."
When the shopkeeper Guan saw Liu Wanyun's fingers flying, he didn't think about it, but he didn't expect Liu Wan to calculate the result, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said with a shocked face:
"How did you figure it out, it's exactly the same! It took me two days to figure it out. ”
"The abacus method is simple." Liu Wan said with a smile.
"Then you teach me this method."
Guan is full of curiosity.
"50 taels of silver." Liu Wan and Guan shopkeepers are also unambiguous when they talk about business.
Guan took out 5 silver ingots of 10 taels, put them on the table, and said cheerfully:
"Then you'll have to promise to teach me."
"No problem."
Liu Wan was overjoyed when she saw the money, and asked Wang Xiao to quickly put away the silver.
When Wang Xiao collected the money, his hands were swaying.
He thought that 30 taels of silver was already a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect his mother to earn another 50 taels of silver from the shopkeeper Guan with his abacus.
Now that the family has 80 taels of silver in savings, can he solve many major problems in the family, can Wang Xiao be unhappy?
Liu Wan accepted the silver, she was not ambiguous, asked the shopkeeper for a pen and paper, and first wrote the formula of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of the abacus, and asked the shopkeeper Guan to memorize it first, and then teach him how to turn the formula into a method of dialing the abacus.
A certain trust relationship has been established between Shopkeeper Guan and Liu Wan, and he is not afraid that Liu Wan will deceive him.
Liu Wan also has to supply chicken feet to their restaurant for a long time, and she is not afraid that she will not fulfill her promise.
Liu Wan said that the abacus is free, and it is left to the shopkeeper to familiarize himself with it first.
The shopkeeper Guan confessed, and asked the guy to wrap a pig's trotter for Liu Wan.
Coming out of Wangjiang Tower, of course Liu Wan would not go back immediately, and took Wang Xiao to the bookstore to buy the four treasures of the study, and then buy some teaching books for basic characters, which can teach the children.
"Wenchangge Bookstore, it seems that this is the largest bookstore in town, let's buy it here!"
Liu Wan walked to the center of the town and looked at the elegantly decorated bookstore in front of her.
"Mother, this one is very expensive, let's find a small shop, right?"
As soon as Wang Xiao thought that his family had eighty taels of silver savings, the corners of his mouth rose, but when he thought that Liu Wan was going to spend money, he felt reluctant.
He really wanted to be a Pixiu, swallow the silver in his stomach, and don't take it out again.
"Xiao'er, the quality of the small shop can't be guaranteed, let's see, if it's too expensive, change the place." Liu Wan said.
"Okay." Wang Xiao said reluctantly.
As a result, as soon as the two entered the bookstore, they saw rows of beautifully bound books in the store, and the four treasures of the study room were also neatly arranged, indicating the origin and material.
"Mother, the cheapest inkstone costs five taels of silver, an ink ingot costs five hundred yuan, and a knife of paper costs one hundred yuan, which is too expensive, right? We can't afford it. ”
Wang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the guy's introduction.
The guy was more educated, and didn't show a look of contempt, just stood on the side with a smile on his face.
I never thought that there was a young man who was flipping through a book on the side, so he couldn't hold back, turned around and walked to Wang Xiao's side and said:
"Brother Xiao, have you also come to buy the four treasures of the study? Do you want me to introduce you to some cheap pen, ink, paper and inkstone? ”
"Yo, Yi'an, it's you! I just heard Wang Li mention you today, and it was such a coincidence that I met you in the town. ”
Wang Xiao said happily.
Liu Wan looked carefully, and saw that this young man was very delicate, and his appearance was a little similar to Li Zhengyi, it turned out that he was Li Zheng's favorite grandson Wang Yi'an.
"Aunt Liu, Brother Xiao."
Wang Yi'an saw Liu Wan and hurriedly came up to salute.
Liu Wan saw that Sven was polite, and she also had a good impression of him, and also returned the salute:
"Yi'an, what a coincidence."
"Yes, Aunt Liu, I have always bought books here, and I am quite familiar with this place, what do you want to buy? I can recommend it for you. ”
When Liu Wan saw Wang Yi'an, she knew why Wang Li was so stimulated.
Wang Yi'an didn't look down on people as Wang Li said, maybe after he came to school in the town, he learned the style of a scholar, and he couldn't play with the children in the village, so Wang Li also misunderstood him.
This is the work of cultivating two generations.
Liu Wan felt that she really wanted to train Wang Li to be like Wang Yi'an, knowledgeable, educated, and not too poor and rich.
"Yi'an, you can recommend the four treasures of the study room with similar cost performance to us, as well as books for enlightenment."
Liu Wan was also not polite.
She is Wang Yi'an's elder, and she instructed him not to be polite.
Although Wang Yi'an was surprised that Liu Wan was willing to spend money to buy books, she still dutifully helped them pick out a set of books for the study room and enlightenment.
""Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", well, yes, these can be."
Liu Wan saw that he took two thin books, found a familiar textbook, and said happily.
Wang Yi'an was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out:
"Aunt Liu, are you literate?"
"Of course my mother is literate, and she will be our husband and teach us in the future."
Wang Xiao said proudly.
Liu Wan realized that Wang Yi'an hadn't spoken yet, she recognized these two textbooks at a glance, which naturally surprised Wang Yi'an, but fortunately, she had done her homework solidly before, and Wang Xiao took the initiative to explain, so that Wang Yi'an had nothing to say for a while.
In the face of the elders, Wang Yi'an has been asking Liu Wan why she is literate.
In Wang Yi'an's impression, Liu Wan is a short-tempered lady who is often beaten by her husband, which is sympathetic, but none of them is that Liu Wan is literate.
In fact, it is no wonder that Wang Yi'an was shocked, there are very few literate people in these years, let alone peasant women in the countryside.
"Disrespectful, Aunt Liu is abrupt to me."
Wang Yi'an hurriedly apologized.
"Heh, Yi'an, we also didn't know about it for a long time. My mother-in-law was literate in her mother's house. ”
