Chapter 15 The Second Money
There were not many people in the grocery store. Because of the cold weather, the clerk shrank his neck and hid behind the counter.

Hearing the movement and taking a look, seeing that it was a tattered little girl, she immediately lost her enthusiasm, she just said a few polite words and ignored her, there was no contempt at all.

This was exactly what Ye Qiu wanted, no one was watching, so she could choose slowly.

She took a fancy to a sewn quilt, the color was dull and looked old at first glance, Ye Qiu felt that this kind of quilt was the most suitable for her family, so she directly ordered two.

Paper is indispensable, and Ye Qiu still counted on it to make money, so he picked the worst material and bought a thick bundle.

The guy thought he was a curious kid from a poor family who came in to have a look, but in the blink of an eye he picked a bunch and came out quickly, afraid that he might be making fun of him, so he had to tactfully say, "Girl, so many things cost a lot of money." , isn't your adult here?"

"Little brother, some patients came to my uncle's house. They were too busy to come, so they let me take a look. The uncle in the village pulled an ox cart and waited under the big willow tree not far away. There are many things. rich."

Not knowing what the buddy was thinking, Ye Qiu said the line he had planned in a serious manner, and finally went around the grocery store again to make sure there was nothing to buy before asking the other party to pay.

The little guy clicked the abacus in his hand, and not long after, he reported to Ye Qiu, "The total is [-] Chinese."

Ye Qiu raised her eyebrows. When she bought something, she always asked about the price, and she calculated each item in her mind. The total she bought was a little over one tael, so why did it become more than two taels.

Looking at the job now, "Little brother, you just clearly said that the worst hemp paper is 850 Wen for a stack, 550 Wen for the quilt, and 460 San Wen for the rest of the mess. The total should be one tael of silver plus [-] three Wen, you counted [-] five Wen for me, so my uncle will scold me when I go back."

The little girl had a serious expression on her face. When counting the money, the ten little fingers took turns to count the money, but the exact amount was accurate.

The buddy realized that he did the calculation again according to what Ye Qiu said, and it turned out that he had made a mistake.

He looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, never thought that he was not as good at using the abacus as the little girl's fingers. He was very surprised, and he didn't forget to apologize, "I'm sorry, little girl, I didn't pay attention at this moment. Even if you make a mistake, don't mind it, how about it... I'll give you a zero, and you don't want the three pennies as an apology, do you think it's okay?"

Ye Qiu didn't care and said, "Just wipe it out, little brother, it's not easy for you to support your family, just don't make a mistake next time."

It was obvious that he was at fault first, but the little girl was thinking of him instead. The guy was extremely grateful, and he instantly had a good impression of this delicate-looking little girl.

Seeing her tattered clothes and malnourished appearance, the boy rolled his eyes and said suddenly, "Little girl, think about me, and I'll help you too. Aren't you good at reckoning? This job, as long as you can clear the old accounts in the store, I will give you a tael of silver as a reward, what do you think?"

so generous?

It's the first time Ye Qiu went shopping. In ancient times, daily expenses were counted in letters. A thousand coins is one or two taels. If you live frugally, it can cover half a year's expenses for a poor family.

The man was probably afraid that she would think too much, so he signaled Ye Qiu to follow him to the inner room.

When he saw the ledgers for half of the tables, Ye Qiu finally understood why he was willing to give one or two taels. It would take at least an afternoon to look at it.

"Now there is a shortage of manpower, and there are always problems with some old accounts. The shopkeeper has found a lot of accountants. They are either expensive or not available. They will buy goods again soon. There are too many accounts. Right now, there is only half a month. Yes, the shopkeeper is in a hurry."

As he said that, he stared at Ye Qiu optimistically, "If you can do the math within ten days, I'll tell the shopkeeper, besides giving you a tael of silver, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu didn't realize it for a while, this ledger...will take ten days?

Before he had time to think about it, he still took care of his work and said, "I also know that ten days will embarrass you, but if it takes longer, the shopkeeper will think it's not worth it. I must find another master and forget it. You should think about it."

"Don't think about it, I'll do the math for you now." Ye Qiu said.

In her heart, she has doubts about the ancient arithmetic ability. Apart from her own talent for arithmetic, she calculated that even ordinary people in the contemporary era would not be able to use it for ten days. It can only be said that ancient times are relatively backward, and this arithmetic ability needs to be improved.

The buddy was also very happy when he heard it, and immediately prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for revision.

He said, "You can find time to come here every day, as long as ten days can be counted."

Ye Qiu didn't bother with the work, she glanced at the writing brush and felt a little reluctant to use it, but after thinking about it, she had no other choice, so she signaled the clerk to go to work, she squeezed her fingers and began to check the ledger.

It just so happened that there were customers in the shop, so the clerk had to go out to entertain.

So no one in the separate room saw this scene. The little girl quickly flipped through the ledger, looking at the amount in the list at a glance. If there was any question, she would immediately correct it to the correct answer, and then change the general ledger. The action was as fast as It was the fast forward button.

In a blink of an eye, one ledger after another was checked and placed on the other side, and there were not many ledgers left like a hill.

Ye Qiu found that although there were many ledgers, there were not many words written in one book due to the brush writing.

The clerk in the middle came in to watch for a while, Ye Qiu was only immersed in his own calculations, and didn't pay attention to the pal's perturbed look when he saw the speed at which she opened the ledger.

The guy himself wanted to thank Ye Qiu, and secondly, if he could solve the shopkeeper's troubles, he could live a better life.

But at this meeting, I suddenly regretted whether I was impulsive, after all, she was a little girl, if she made a mistake, it would not end well at that time.

As a result, what is afraid of.

Seeing a familiar voice from a distance, the guy's heart suddenly turned cold, why did the shopkeeper come here?

He hurriedly greeted him. Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to enter the back room, he hurried over to stop him, and said hesitantly, "Shopkeeper, I found a accountant gentleman privately, and said that the account can be settled within ten days, and now he is inside."

When the shopkeeper heard it, it was a good thing. He was worried that he couldn't find anyone.

Those accountants are all educated, and he doesn't want to answer the question once he mentions this small grocery store, or he would pay four or five taels of silver for a mouthful, which he would not be willing to do.

"However... this accountant is a bit young, but I have confirmed that he is really good at calculating accounts. Can you not react too much when you see it later, shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper laughed as soon as he heard it. Does he look like the kind of person who has never seen the world?

But when he stood at the door and looked at the figure sitting in the middle that was almost parallel to the desk, the smile instantly froze on his face.
