The two ran to find Mr. Zhuang with the counting chip, and after confirming it several times, they ran back and followed Mr. Zhuang's previous calculation example.
But the speed still dropped a lot, and it always made mistakes.
If they made a mistake here, they couldn't help Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang was sweating profusely again, but his speed of keeping accounts was much faster, and if he was slower, he wouldn't forget the numbers just reported.
And the faster he got to the back, he was not only handy, but also had the time to gloat at Bai Shanbao and Man Bao, who were in a state of desperation.
Master Bai looked at it and sighed. Now people have learned to use counting chips to calculate, and the speed of calculating the weight is very fast and smooth. If you want to come here to calculate the weight, you can quickly get used to it, but you can’t even calculate the weight. You still don’t know how to use it, what are you proud of
Master Bai didn't look at his son, he directly covered his face with a teacup, and turned to talk to Mr. Zhuang.
Weighing is much faster than using buckets. Once the sack is down, two people lift it, and one compares the weight, and the number is reported and it's over.
So everyone's speed is fast, but Man Bao and the others are a little slower.
But they gradually became proficient at counting, and the two quickly counted the last bag of money, and let Bai Erlang write it down, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Bai also came over, first took a look at the accounts kept by his son, and then went to his account room.
The accountant also took advantage of the situation to calculate the price of each item. He did the work of the three of them by himself, not only neater and more beautiful than theirs, but also faster.
When the calculation was made halfway, the three children looked at the accountant more than once enviously.
Master Bai flipped through the pages, nodded and said, "Okay, let's figure out the total."
The accountant took the account book with a smile, and flicked the counting chip with his fingers, so fast that he could almost see his fingers.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao stared blankly, Bai Erlang also opened his mouth wide, looking at the accountant with admiration.
Mr. Zhuang walked up behind the two of them, coughed lightly and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, forget it quickly."
Man Bao came to his senses, quickly took the account book kept by Bai Erlang, and started to count with Bai Shanbao.
Mr. Zhuang stood in front of the two of them and said, "The more numbers you have, the more careful you are. Otherwise, if you make a wrong calculation, you will lose the whole game. You have to start all over again."
Mr. Zhuang exhorted: "So be careful, brainy, bold, and have a good memory."
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao nodded repeatedly, expressing their understanding, and then slowly moved the abacus.
The speed of the accounting room is very fast, and within a quarter of an hour, all the accounts are calculated, including the total copper coins and the converted silver taels.
Man Bao and the others were much slower. Fortunately, neither of them made any mistakes, and the numbers they calculated were the same.
The two added up the two copper coins, and then looked at the last copper coins together, speechless, "We have a lot, a lot of money."
Bai Erlang hurried up to look, only to see that the final total after weighing was 1,150,662 Wen, while the bucket weighed was 1,414,57 Wen.
Bai Er also let out a wow, amazed.
Master Bai asked with a smile, "How much is it in taels of silver?"
The two children immediately counted the numbers on the chips.
Because it was removed, and the number removed was still so large, the two children moved it carefully, but they still got confused after a while. They scratched their heads and counted again...
Man Bao looked at the last messy calculation, and couldn't help but look at Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang knew it was a bit difficult, so he didn't make it difficult for them, and took the counting chip with a smile to help them.
"A total of nineteen hundred and ten taels of silver, with one hundred and nineteen Wen coins remaining."
Mr. Accountant stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Exactly this number."
The three children screamed and were very happy.
Master Bai asked with a smile, "Are you happy?"
The three nodded vigorously.
Master Bai smiled and said: "Then, while Mr. Zhuang is here, please calculate how much the wheat you bought earlier cost you. Didn't you say that the wheat was bought on credit, and you have to pay it back, right? "
The excited three children just froze for a moment, yes, they almost forgot that they got so many wheat seeds from others, and the wheat they exchanged was on credit.
Bai Shanbao coughed lightly, and Bai Zhuangtou immediately brought up the account book that was credited. It only recorded the exchanged quantity and calculated the total amount. As for the value, he didn't know the price agreed between the young master and the old lady.
But Man Bao and Bai Shanbao knew about it, so they made calculations.
Before Bai Shanbao and Liu Shi agreed, the wheat will be shipped for thirty cents a bucket.
This price was the market price in Luojiang County at that time, but it was a very high price in Longzhou, so Liu felt that she was doing a good job in this business.
And Man Bao and Bai Shanbao felt that they would not lose money if they did not need to run around to buy the goods here.
Who would have thought that the market price would drop to twenty-seven cash when the grain arrived in advance
Of course, this market price is the purchase price given by the grain merchants to the farmers, and the price sold at the grain shop is naturally more than this.
The total amount of grain they exchanged was 16,878 dou, which is 56,340 Wen, converted into silver.
As soon as the two looked up, they handed over the counting chip to Mr. Zhuang very tactfully.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Four hundred and twenty-one taels, the remaining one thousand one hundred and forty wen."
Now that the three children got the exact number, they cheered completely.
Master Bai stroked his beard and smiled, then turned his head and said to the accountant: "Let someone bring the money in."
At this time, the sun was already rising, but Master Bai felt that there were not many wheat seeds in Lao Zhou's house, so it shouldn't take so much time, so he waved his hand and led everyone to Lao Zhou's house.
People from the old Zhou family and the Qian family were waiting anxiously at home, and they even specially sent the big head to the entrance of the village to watch, and if they saw anyone coming across the river, they would report immediately.
The big head watched the sister-in-law coming with a group of people from a distance, and immediately ran home.
Lao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qian.
Mrs. Qian got up and led a group of daughter-in-laws out, and also took Aunt Qian and Sister-in-law Qian. After going out, they greeted the people who were watching the excitement nearby, and they all went to Zhou Dayuan's house nearby.
The sun is quite bright at this time, and there are only a few women enjoying the shade under the banyan tree. After all, it is still comfortable to stay at home at this time, right
As soon as Mrs. Qian greeted her, everyone hurriedly followed her. It didn't matter what she was going to do, it was just gossip.
When Master Bai arrived at Lao Zhou's house, he was taken aback when he saw so many people.
Old Zhou Tou explained with a smile: "This is my brother-in-law. Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? They came to see my wife. They knew that Mr. Bai was coming to harvest wheat seeds today, so they stayed to watch the excitement."
Master Bai naturally greeted them happily and saluted each other.
The old Zhou's family has already prepared the wheat seeds to be sold, and they can be weighed directly by carrying them out.
