Chapter 48 Ancient Computers

Qian Xiaoxing took the abacus and looked at it. The shape was similar to what he expected. He used his fingers to tweak the abacus beads, which were still smooth and not too difficult.

"The carpenter will get the money from the account room." Ling Yi said to the carpenter and asked Qian Xiaoxing again: "This is what you mentioned, how do you use it?"

"Haha, then I'll use it to see." Qian Xiaoxing looked at it and saw that there was a bamboo slip book on the counter, so he said, "In this way, you can settle the account with me and see who can calculate it quickly."

Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing said the abacus so magical, Ling Yi wanted to see where the magic was, so he took the account book and put it in the middle of the table, sat side by side with Qian Xiaoxing, and got the sign-up and was ready.

Qian Xiaoxing had never seen an ancient account book before. He took it in his hand and looked carefully. It turned out to be a shipping account book. Each bamboo slip says how many kilograms of white rice are sold and how much is the price.

However, the Chinese capital numbers are written, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Qian Xiaoxing looked at a volume of about twenty items, so he said, "How many kilograms should we sell this and how much money should we sell it? Is it okay to add a summary?"

"Well, that's all." Ling Yi replied.

"Okay." Qian Xiaoxing shook his abacus and transferred the beads in place. Although he was not proficient in abacus, he also learned it in elementary school. If you add it, you are quite skilled. However, if you haven't beat it for a long time, you should have a hand.

Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was ready, Ling Yi said, "Start."

The two of them started to calculate the account book in front of them. Ling Yi took the chips and counted them one by one by one, and then put them in their respective ten hundred digits. Seeing that there were more bamboo sticks in each, they counted out ten chips to represent ten.

Qian Xiaoxing made a plan and soon added the total sales quantity, then went to the previous few levels and added the total sales amount.

Not long after, Qian Xiaoxing stopped and said, "Do it!"

"Okay?" Ling Yi also stopped and said in surprise: "I only added half of the number for sale."

"Then you finish your calculations and see if I'm right."

"Okay, you can add the account, too." Ling Yi and the accountant calculated together, and after a while, the total number was added.

"The total amount of pounds sold is 655 pounds, and the total amount of 5,280 ounces." Qian Xiaoxing looked at the beads on the abacus and reported.

"Yes, yes!" Ling Yi said in surprise.

"How about it? It's much faster. Moreover, I'm not skilled enough. If I'm proficient, my speed can be doubled." Qian Xiaoxing said proudly.

"Wow, you can double the speed. Teach me quickly." Ling Yi took the abacus and said excitedly.

Seeing Ling Yi's anxious look, Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Don't hurry, take your time."

Then Qian Xiaoxing introduced the abacus, for example, each file represents tens of millions, and a bead above represents five basic functions.

Then I made an addition and recited the mantra: "One to one, two to two, three to five to two..."

Ling Yi is also a smart person. He understands the function of abacus at once, but he only turns the chips into beads, but he can enter one immediately after every ten. They don’t need to use chips to count ten.

Qian Xiaoxing told Ling Yi the addition formula, and Ling Yi copied it carefully.

"Brother Qian, this abacus is great." Ling Yi picked up the abacus and couldn't help but caress him.

Qian Xiaoxing thought that Hyundai had eliminated the abacus. If he told Ling Yi that there was an electronic calculator, he could calculate it by pressing it. I don’t know what he would be surprised, but this can’t be said anymore.

"Just as long as Brother Ling likes it, it can be considered that Brother Ling can help you a little bit." Qian Xiaoxing said.

"It's a small busy place, it's a big busy place. Every time I have to settle accounts, I have a headache. With this abacus, there's no need to worry anymore." After Ling Yi and Qian Xiaoxing came into contact with each other, new things often appeared, such as air conditioners, mahjong, abacus, and many others, and I admire Qian Xiaoxing even more.

"It's also considered that I'm making some contribution to society." Qian Xiaoxing sighed. He came through time and always had to contribute to society. Modern culture has accumulated for 5,000 years.

"Brother Qian, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. There is a restaurant where you can invite a table. Then you can invite your ladies and family to come together." Ling Yi didn't know how to thank Qian Xiaoxing, so he could only invite a meal first.

"Okay, there are eight signature dishes in the hotel. I haven't had enough food yet. Brother Ling is going to spend money."

"Haha, as long as Brother Qian likes to eat, I will treat you every day." Ling Yi's current mood is the same as Boss Wang at the time, and he is afraid that Qian Xiaoxing will not eat. As long as Qian Xiaoxing flashes his spirit, he will create good things. Such people must be treated well.

"I dare not eat it every day. If I get used to it, how can I eat other dishes in the future?" Qian Xiaoxing replied with a smile: "Then I will go back first, and I will see you in a restaurant."

"Okay, wait on time."

Qian Xiaoxing carried a heavy bag and the silver in the bag was packed with bulging silver. He sold eight air conditioners, and he could get 80 taels by 28. It was 40,000 yuan, which was a small fortune.

I felt particularly happy when I thought of making so much money, but when I thought that Fang Ying would still have to earn 80% of the profit at home, I felt a little heartbroken. However, thinking about what Mr. Lu said, Fang Ying was not easy, and the money she earned was not spent on herself, so I felt much more balanced.

As Qian Xiaoxing walked, why did the streets become more and more unfamiliar? Damn, I got lost and didn't know where I got there. I looked at the streets everywhere and didn't know at all. I hurried back, thinking of going to Lingyi's shop to ask him to take him away.

"Xiao Cui!" Qian Xiaoxing found a familiar figure in the crowd and said as if he had found a savior: "It's so nice to see you."

"Brother Xing!" Xiao Cui heard someone calling her, but when she turned around, she found out that it was Qian Xiaoxing. After kissing Qian Xiaoxing last time, Lan Xiao Cui was very intimate when she saw Qian Xiaoxing, and even changed her name: "Why are you here?"

"I had a dream last night and said that I would meet a confidante here today. I was surprised. I don't know who it was, so I kept waiting here and saw you coming." Qian Xiaoxing was embarrassed to say that he was lost and said nonsense.

"Really?" Although Lan Xiaocui felt sweet after hearing this, she knew that it was Qian Xiaoxing who was making a fool of herself and said with a smile: "I think I'm lost."

"Of course it's true. If it weren't for the confidante, how could I know that I was lost?" Qian Xiaoxing took Lan Xiaocui's hand, pinched it gently and said, "Take me back quickly."

"There are so many people here, you still hold hands." Lan Xiaocui said shyly, but she didn't dare to break free.

Qian Xiaoxing refused to let go and said lingeringly: "I just want others to see that you Xiao Cui is mine."

Seeing that she could not speak out about Qian Xiaoxing, Lan Xiaocui had no choice but to let Qian Xiaoxing hold back: "I still have to go shopping for vegetables."

"Don't buy it, someone treats you to a restaurant to have a meal."
