When Doctor Jia saw Zhu Ping'an staring at Ghost Hand Zhang's abacus with his arms folded, "stunned", as if he was so shocked by Ghost Hand Zhang's abacus skills that he felt inferior and wanted to give up on treatment, Doctor Jia couldn't help but curl his lips and rolled his eyes in mockery.
Haha, you give up so easily? Then where did you get the courage to speak so brazenly just now
You, who can't even do an abacus, actually threatened to calculate the data by yourself, haha...
Of course, this result was also what Doctor Jia wanted to see. In this way, the data collected by the Taicang Accounting Office would be the result of this inventory.
The data collected by Taicang Accounting Office, haha, you know the answer without even calculating. Whatever is shown in the account book is the data collected.
So Jia Lang laughed in his heart, but was also secretly delighted. He smiled, showing that he was concerned about Zhu Ping'an. He also put himself in Zhu Ping's shoes and found a way out for him. "Zihou has been counting the warehouse for a long time. He must be exhausted. It would be good to take a break before counting the data. Later, when our Taicang account office has finished counting, Zihou will verify it again. Come on, pour tea for Master Zhu, so that he can moisten his throat and take a rest for a while."
After hearing what Doctor Jia said, everyone in Taicang curled their lips tacitly.
The other officials watching could not help but shake their heads and smile. What do you mean by tired? It was obvious that they did not know how to calculate and could not continue the statistics, so they simply gave up the treatment.
At the same time, Ghost Hand Zhang glanced at me, Zhu Ping'an, and smiled. He deliberately sped up the movements of his hands by three points, doubling the difficulty to make it more entertaining. He crossed his left and right hands, using the butterfly technique with his left hand, and the finger snap technique with his right hand. Not only that, his speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. The naked eye could hardly see the trajectory of his hands, and the beads on the abacus were all strings of afterimages...
"Well, this is a true abacus master, it is really pleasing to the eyes, just like playing a divine song."
"Amazing skills..."
"Some people will never be able to achieve this kind of skill in their entire lives. Some things depend on talent, and it's not as simple as it sounds."
When Ghost Hand Zhang showed this trick, the onlookers couldn't help but cheer, while some people also secretly mocked Zhu Ping'an for being arrogant and overestimating his own abilities.
real.
Look at Zhang Guishou, he is very skilled at playing with the abacus, and his every move and gesture is that of a master. Look at Zhu Ping'an, he just played with the abacus twice, but still found many holes, so he just pretended to draw a few scribbled symbols and then gave up.
They had no doubt that even if Ghost Hand Zhang used one foot, he could still use the abacus ten times more skillfully than Zhu Ping'an with both hands.
After hearing people's praises, Guishou Zhangshou couldn't help but smile widely. His hands moved faster and harder, and the beads flew through his fingers like lightning, almost grinding sparks on the beads.
However
The next second something unexpected happened.
Doctor Jia had just finished speaking when the onlookers were still secretly mocking and praising him. Ghost Hand Zhang was still smiling and the abacus in his hand was still running at lightning speed...
Zhu Pingan slowly turned his head in front of everyone, his expression seemed a little confused, as if he had chewed on Doctor Jia's words again, then slowly shook his head, spread his hands calmly and said: "Well, actually, I've already finished it."
Um
What
He said he was done
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, Jia Langzhong and the others in Taicang were stunned, their eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The officials watching were also shocked, as if the sun had risen from the west.
“Pah.”
“Bang.”
Just as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the smiling ghost hand Zhang opposite him suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, as if he was struck by thunder and was so stunned that his hands' movements that were following him like a shadow became disordered. He pressed the beads in the wrong place, and with a snap, the beads fell on the outer edge, and the abacus fell to the ground with a clang.
How, how is this possible
This is impossible, how could you have already figured it out
Ghost Hand Zhang couldn't believe his ears. His face turned pale in an instant. His masterly demeanor disappeared in an instant. He stared at Zhu Ping'an in amazement.
The other accountants were also horrified. They gasped, stopped what they were doing involuntarily, and stared at Zhu Ping'an.
At this moment, the only sounds in the room except for the sound of people gasping for air and the lingering sound of the abacus shaking on the ground.
"Ahem, Zihou, you are joking..." Doctor Jia coughed and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a dry laugh.
Yes, with Doctor Jia’s reminder, everyone woke up from their shock.
Yes, Doctor Jia is right. Zhu Pingan was just joking. He can't even use an abacus, so how could he finish the calculation? Moreover, it has only been a short time. It's not even enough time to have a cup of hot tea. How can you finish the calculation? You are bragging.
Ghost Hand Zhang is such a good abacus player, and he has four experienced accountants working with him, and he has only just started. You are all alone, and you think you have finished all this work? !
Are you talking in your sleep? You are still asleep!
Haha, do you think we are blind? You just drew some weird talismans and claimed that you are done. Who are you trying to fool
What's going on? Did you just draw some talismans to ask for help from the gods? Did the gods possess you and collect the data for you
Haha, this is the only plausible reason.
After a brief silence, the room erupted in a buzz of laughter.
"No kidding, I'm really finished." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and said seriously.
However, no one believed it. Instead, after Zhu Ping'an finished speaking seriously, the laughter in the room became louder.
"You... hehe... may I ask, sir, what is the result you calculated?"
Ghost Hand Zhang also reacted. He shook his head and sneered, while he clasped his hands as if in a fake posture and looked at Zhu Pingan for further questioning.
Just now, because of Zhu Ping'an's words, he panicked and dropped his abacus, making a fool of himself. Now he is trying hard to get back at Zhu Ping'an.
The accountant at the side also smiled and shook his head, bent down to pick up the abacus that fell on the ground, handed it to Ghost Hand Zhang, and whispered to Zhu Pingan that there was no way he could calculate any result.
Ghost Hand Zhang nodded, took the abacus, and kept his eyes on Zhu Pingan.
"It won't be too late for us to check the results after you've finished your calculations. Otherwise, it might affect you." Zhu Ping'an shook his head seriously. After that, he folded up the rice paper on which he had written the answers and placed it on a corner of the table.
“Hehe…” Ghost Hand Zhang chuckled and sneered at Zhu Ping’an’s words. He did not believe what Zhu Ping’an said at all and thought that it was just an excuse made by Zhu Ping’an.
Others also thought that Zhu Ping'an was just a facade and was just trying to show off.
