Chapter 424 Make a lot of money

The two went to find Mr. Zhuang with the abacus, and after a few times of back and forth, they ran back and calculated according to Mr. Zhuang's previous calculation example.

But the speed still dropped a lot, and there were always errors.

If they made a mistake here, they couldn't help Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang was sweating profusely again, but his accounting speed was much faster, and if he was slower, he would not forget the numbers just reported.

And the further back he got, the faster he was, not only was he handy, but he also took a look at Bai Shanbao and Manbao who were stunned in schadenfreude.

Mr. Bai couldn't help sighing when he saw it. Now everyone has learned to use the abacus to calculate, and the calculation of the amount of the bucket has been very fast and smooth. If you want to come here to calculate the weight, you can quickly adapt to it, but you can't even calculate the abacus. It will work, what are you proud of?

Without looking at his son, Master Bai covered his face with a teacup, turned his head to talk to Mr. Zhuang.

Weighing can be much faster than using buckets. Once the sack is down, two people lift it, and one compares the scales, and the numbers are reported.

So everyone's speed is smooth, but Manbao and the others are a little slower.

But they gradually became proficient in counting, and the two quickly figured out the amount of the last bag of money, letting Bai Erlang record it and heaving a sigh of relief.

Master Bai also came over and first glanced at his son's account, and then went to his account.

The accountant also took advantage of the situation to calculate the price of each item. He did the work of the three of them alone, which was not only neater and more beautiful than theirs, but also faster.

When the abacus was in the middle, the three children looked at the accountant with envy more than once.

Master Bai turned around, nodded and said, "Okay, let's work out the total."

The accountant took the account book with a smile, and flipped the abacus with his fingers, so fast that he could barely see his fingers.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were stunned for a while, and Bai Erlang also opened his mouth wide and looked at the accountant with admiration.

Mr. Zhuang walked behind the two of them and coughed lightly: "What are you still doing, hurry up."

Man Bao came back to his senses, and quickly took the account book that Bai Erlang kept, and started counting with Bai Shanbao.

Mr. Zhuang stood in front of the two of them and said, "The more numbers you have, the more careful you have to be, or if you make a mistake, you will lose everything. You have to start all over again."

Mr. Zhuang urged: "So be careful, smart, bold, and have a good memory."

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood, and then slowly moved the abacus.

The speed of the account room was very fast, but in about a quarter of an hour, all the accounts were calculated, including the total copper coins and the converted silver taels.

Man Bao and the others are much slower. Fortunately, neither of them made any mistakes. The numbers they calculated were the same.

The two added up the two coins, and then looked at the final amount of coins together, "We have a lot of money, a lot of money."

Bai Erlang hurriedly went up to look, and saw that the final total weighed was 150,662 pennies, while the one that was weighed was 141,457 pennies.

Bai Er also wow, amazed.

Master Bai asked with a smile, "How much is the silver tael?"

The two children immediately counted the numbers on the abacus.

Because it was to be removed, and the number to be removed was still so large, the two children moved carefully, but they were still confused in a short while. The two scratched their heads and counted again...

Man Bao looked at the messy abacus at the end and couldn't help looking at Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang knew that this was a bit difficult, so he didn't make it difficult for them. He smiled and took the abacus to help them figure it out.

"A total of 1,910 taels of silver, and one hundred and nineteen pennies."

The accountant stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "It's exactly this number."

The three children were screaming with joy.

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 help you to calculate how much the wheat you bought before, didn't you say that the wheat is on credit, you have to pay it back, right? "

The excited three children stayed for a while, yes, they almost forgot that they exchanged so many wheat seeds with others, and the wheat they exchanged was on credit.

Bai Shanbao coughed lightly, and Bai Zhuangtou immediately brought up the account book that was on credit. It only recorded the amount exchanged and calculated the total amount. As for the value, he did not know the price that the young master and the old lady negotiated.

But Man Bao and Bai Shanbao knew, so they used an abacus to calculate.

Before Bai Shanbao and Liu Shi agreed, the wheat that was brought in was thirty cents a dozen.

This price was the market price in Luojiang County at the time, but it was a very high price in Longzhou, so Liu Shi felt that she did not lose money in this business.

And Man Bao and Bai Shanbao felt that they didn't have to run around to buy it, so they didn't lose money.

Who would have thought that the market price of the grain would drop to twenty-seven cents when the grain arrives on the front foot?

Of course, this market price is the purchase price that grain merchants give to farmers, and the price sold in grain shops is naturally more than this number.

The total amount of grain they exchanged out was 16,878 buckets, which is 563,400 pennies, converted into silver.

As soon as the two looked up, they handed the abacus to Mr. Zhuang very wisely.

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Four hundred and twenty-one taels, more than one thousand one hundred and forty wen."

The three children got the exact number and cheered.

Master Bai stroked his beard and smiled, then turned to the accountant and said, "Let someone bring the money in."

At this time, it is already right, and the sun is the boss, but Master Bai feels that there are not many wheat seeds in the old Zhou family, so it should not take so much time, so he waved his hand and took everyone to the old Zhou family.

The people from the old Zhou family and the Qian family were anxiously waiting at home, and they even sent a big head to the entrance of the village to see them. As soon as they saw someone coming across the river, they would immediately report.

Datou watched from a distance as my sister-in-law came with a group of people, and immediately ran to the house.

Old Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qian.

Qian Shi got up and led a group of daughters-in-law out, as well as Aunt Qian and Sister-in-law Qian. When they went out, they greeted the people who were watching the fun, and everyone went to Zhou Dayuan's house nearby.

At this time, the sun is quite bright, and there are only a few women under the banyan tree enjoying the shade. After all, it is still comfortable to stay at home at this time, right?

As soon as Mrs Qian said hello, everyone hurried to catch up, no matter what she was going to do, it was just gossip.

When Master Bai arrived at Lao Zhou's house, he was stunned to see so many people.

The old Zhoutou explained with a smile: "This is my uncle and brother, isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival? They came to see my wife, knowing that Master Bai is coming to harvest wheat seeds today, so they stayed to watch the fun."

Naturally, Master Bai greeted them happily and saluted each other.

The old Zhou family had already prepared the wheat seeds to be sold, and they could be weighed directly by lifting them out.
