A foreman was driving an ox cart, and Wu Wulang sat on the cart and pulled the money in his basket. He picked one of the vegetable baskets that looked okay, and put the rotten vegetables and leaves in other baskets, and then counted them. Twenty hang money in the basket.
It's quite a big basket, full of twenty hanging coins.
After thinking about it, I felt that this was not good, and it would easily cause misunderstandings in the public, so I searched in the car, found a thin bag containing rice noodles, patted it, and transferred the copper coins into it.
The three foremen watched silently, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Friday, have you made money this trip?"
Wu Wulang said: "I don't know yet."
He sighed: "You haven't calculated the money for food and drink yet."
Oh yes, they still ate for six days.
The three foremen glanced at the piles of money in the baskets, and felt much better.
I don't know how much the three hundred of them ate in the past six days.
Wu Wulang gave the money to the quarry, and after the two parties settled the settlement, he happily went home with the bullock cart.
Old Zhou Tou and Qian Shi were not at home, they all went to watch their jobs.
This year Manbao has three work fields to be plowed in the spring, one of which is a little far away, so Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi, who wanted to return to Qili Village after attending Bai Erlang's wedding, stayed here.
They decided to go back after the spring plowing was over.
His daughter-in-law was in the workshop with the fourth sister-in-law and the others, so there was no one at home.
Wu Wulang asked the concierge to help move a basketful of money into his room, and then he went to the study to find Zhou Lizhong's usual abacus, and then took a pen and paper to calculate the money he earned bit by bit.
In the past few days, how much meat he bought, how much vegetables he bought, how much food he consumed, and oil and salt, he wrote them down in his notebook.
The food is taken from home, but it cannot be counted as the cost, he calculated it according to the market price.
In the past six days, they have eaten a total of 14,868 Wen.
Wu Wulang scratched his face, "So how much is left?"
Zhou Wulang looked at the money in the basket, and simply calculated fourteen slings of money. After thinking about it, he simply took another sling and put it down together.
After putting it down, I feel bad. Lijun said that the most taboo thing about managing accounts is that it is almost enough, because a penny is money, and it is almost the same today, and it will be the same tomorrow.
So Zhou Wulang took out the sling of money again, and then began to count how much money should be taken out of it.
One thousand minus eight hundred and sixty-eight, that is, take one hundred first, and then subtract sixty-eight from one hundred, that is thirty-two...
Zhou Wulang counted out one hundred and thirty-two Wen coins to string them together and put them together in the basket, then he looked at the copper coins in the basket and smiled.
This is the money he earned in the past six days.
As for how much, he still doesn't know. So Saturday Lang decided to count.
Put aside the strings of copper coins that have not been disassembled, one hanging is one thousand, and the strings that have been loosened are dismantled. How can he remember how many copper coins were dismantled
I can only count them one by one, fill in those that are less than one thousand, and re-tie them and put them aside.
Zhou Wulang can still count. In order not to make a mistake, he deliberately counted out ten copper coins, put one next to the side when he counted a hundred, and after putting ten coins, it will be one thousand.
So the ten copper coins went from left to right, and then from right to left...
The sun is heading west...
First, when Fang and the others came back, they found that there was no one at home, so they said, "Too bad, my sister-in-law didn't come back, so I asked someone to go to the restaurant and let Shiro and Goro bring some food back to eat."
Then, as soon as the words were finished, the old head Zhou returned with his family.
Fang and the others were curious, so they couldn't help asking: "Father, why are you all back?"
Don't you live in the Zhuangzi over there in Pu Village
Old Zhou said sullenly: "There is no water, and we are anxious to watch over there."
Zhou Dalang said: "This place is not as good as our Qili Village. Although the land here is flat and our Qili Village has many mountains, we also have a lot of water. If there is no water in the spring, we can use the water in the river to irrigate. Not here, no water. Rain, even the river is dry."
Old Zhou Tou felt that this would not work, "If it doesn't rain again, I'll just go home and forget it."
Zhou Dalang was also afraid that he was in a hurry here, and it would be bad if something happened in a hurry, "Father, how about I ask Master Bai later to see when he will go back, and you and mother will go back with them."
Old Zhou nodded.
Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang went back together with the caravan after Bai Erlang got married. After all, the land at home also needs to be planted, so they rushed back just in time to plant rice seeds.
Old Zhou Tou didn't expect such a severe drought here in the beginning of spring this year, and he didn't know what was going on at home. It would be better not to be drought there.
After speaking, the old Zhou looked around and asked, "Where is the fifth child, why hasn't he come back yet? Didn't Li Zhong and Li Jun say that he can finish the job in half a day today?"
Zhou Lizhong (big head) said: "Didn't the concierge just say that Uncle Wu is back?"
"I don't cook when I come back, and I don't talk about going to a restaurant to get food. This is the habit of being a master, and you don't even know how to cook?"
Lu immediately said, "I'll go and have a look."
She went back to her room to look for it.
Wu Wulang was engrossed in counting the money, and didn't hear anything at all.
Mrs. Lu opened the door and came in and shouted. He was startled, and the counting in his hand was messed up. When he saw the half-allocated copper coins, he couldn't remember how much he had just counted for a long time.
He glanced at the copper coins at his feet, and there were six coins on the side that had already been counted, but this mess meant that the six hundred he had counted before were all in vain, and he had to count again.
Wu Wulang was depressed, "What are you shouting, almost scared me to death, now it's over, I forgot the number in my hand, I have to count again."
Although he likes counting money very much, it's good, but no matter how he likes it, he doesn't like to count repeatedly.
Lu looked at the two piles of money on the ground in surprise, and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Wulang said: "It's earned!"
Zhou Lijun and Zhou Lizhong also came over. After hearing him explain why he sat on the ground and counted money, he was speechless for a while.
Zhou Lijun took the abacus from the ground and asked, "So what's the use of this thing?"
Zhou Wulang said: "Calculate the food."
Zhou Lijun took his messy numbers and sat at the table to calculate, "Let me do the math for you, come on, report the numbers, how much will you give to the three foremen?"
He is not very good at arithmetic, but has a good memory.
I remember everything very clearly. Of course, he will only count the personal ones, and the total number is unknown.
Zhou Lijun flicked his abacus, and said in a short while: "A total of 126,128, fifth uncle, not counting your own wages for the past six days, you have earned a total of 73,000 yuan." Eight hundred and seventy-two."
