This addition and subtraction is actually in later generations, it is just the most basic practice of abacus calculation.

Adding a hundred sons means adding one plus two plus three plus four... all the way to one hundred.And the reduction of a hundred children is from one hundred minus 99 minus 98... all the way to one.

Gabaiko came up with five thousand and fifty.And the result of subtracting a hundred sons is zero, and finally the board is empty.

As long as one of them is miscalculated or missed, the correct result cannot be obtained.

Although Xiao Wan'er had watched her mother beat her several times, she still watched with concentration.

As soon as her mother finished the calculation, she clapped her hands happily beside her: "Mother is so amazing! Mother wants to teach Wan'er! Wan'er also wants to learn."

"Okay, mother will teach Wan'er."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at her daughter with a smile, and then moved to Wang's tent.Asked: "Does the Wang accountant see the benefits of this abacus?"

The Wang tent took up the abacus and looked at it again and again, pressed the liquidator several times with his left hand, and calculated the addition and subtraction of hundreds of sons in front of Qiao Mingjin.

It's just significantly slower.

It's just that the king's tent seems to be very happy.

"Hahaha, much faster than the old man usually!"

A smile on his face after speaking.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the accountant who was eager to try, and felt somewhat relieved.

There is nothing more gratifying than being recognized by others for your own things.

Seeing that the tent Wang was happy, Qiao Mingjin asked straightforwardly, "Does the tent Wang want to give it a shot?"

The Wang accountant glanced at Qiao Mingjin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "How much do you plan to sell, little lady?"

Qiao Mingjin thought for a while, then said, "A tael of silver."

Qiao Mingjin originally planned to catch the fat sheep and slaughter them.But seeing that Wang's tent was not like that kind of shrewd and treacherous person, after thinking about it, he had no choice but to forget it.

This price is a price negotiated with several younger siblings, and it cannot be lower than this amount under normal circumstances.

The smile on Wang's account deepened.

He smiled and said: "Although your abacus is not very particular. But for you, a liquidator, this abacus is more than one or two."

Looking at Qiao Mingjin's remorseful expression, she felt that this little lady was even more amusing in her heart.Bold but not brutal enough.

Then he said: "I don't know what to call the little lady? How many calculations do you have?"

Qiao Mingjin replied: "The little woman's surname is Qiao. There are still some such calculations, and some of them have been made at home. As you can see, although these ideas are excellent, they are also very easy for others to imitate. Therefore, there are many ideas in the little woman's family. I made some, and it’s the first time I’ve sold them today, and this is the first of yours.”

The king's tent looked at the woman in front of him very strangely.

Ordinary women would introduce their husband's family name, but this little lady only said her mother's family name.

Wang's tent took another look at the little girl who was quietly sitting aside, and seemed to understand something.

I'm afraid that something is wrong with this woman's family.Or the death of her husband and son-in-law.Otherwise, how could you bring such a young child out to sell things?

Can not help but have some sympathy.

After thinking for a while, he said, "There are 12 people in our mansion inside and outside the tents. I am the chief manager. You can give one to each of us. In addition, there are various shops and Zhuangzi's tents in our mansion, but this I have to wait for my master to make a decision. You can listen to it tomorrow at this time. Or you can tell me where you are resting. I sent a boy to find you."

Qiao Mingjin was overjoyed when he heard that.

He hurriedly said: "The little woman lives far away, in the village below Songshanji. If she can't go back tonight, she may spend the night in the city, and there is no fixed point. The little woman will definitely come to the mansion tomorrow to listen to the letter. Thank you Wang Accountant, thank you so much!"

Xiao Wan'er also slid off the stool.Like her mother, she bowed to the king's tent.

The king's tent saw it was bitter and cola.

The mother and daughter don't even know how to salute.

He smiled and didn't care.

Qiao Mingjin thanked him, thought for a while, then took out a palm-sized abacus from his pocket, and said to Wang's tent, "Look at the manager Wang, do you need this little abacus?"

Manager Wang never thought that Mrs. Qiao would think of making such a small and portable abacus.

Tried it out in my hand, and thought it was pretty good.

Although small.But unlike the current abacus, it is necessary to carefully dial the beads to avoid the beads.Because the bead was changed into a diamond shape, the probability of making mistakes was avoided.And the portion is very light, also made a liquidator.

Manager Wang smiled and nodded: "Yes. This is very good. I want one. How much money does this cost?"

Qiao Mingjin also saw that Guanshi Wang was a real person, so he said, "I made this little abacus delicately. I originally planned to sell it for five taels of silver. If you want it, I will give you three taels."

Steward Wang smiled, and his impression of Qiao Mingjin was better.

He patted Xiao Wan'er's head.He took out a banknote of 50 taels and handed it to Qiao Mingjin.

Said: "I want three of this little abacus. Take this away from me, and you will bring two more tomorrow. If I want more, I will tell you when you come to listen to the letter tomorrow."

Qiao Mingjin took the bank note and looked at it carefully.

The king's accountant was not surprised to see it.

It's not surprising that Mrs. Qiao can make good calculations, and she can speak a few words.

It's just that I don't know which woman it is?It looks like it came from a farmer's family, but it doesn't look like it.This literate person is neat and clean, and he knows the book and respects the etiquette. Although the salute is weird, his eyes are clear and he is neither humble nor overbearing.

Could it be that he came out of the downcast family?

The king's accountant just thought about it, but he didn't worry about it.

Looking at the joy on the faces of the two girls, I feel very happy in my heart.

After looking carefully, Qiao Mingjin pushed back the bank note and said, "The little lady can't find it."

The steward Wang smiled and said, "This is the money for three small abacus and twelve big abacus. If you order again tomorrow, you will pay another fee. Your abacus is worth the price."

After speaking, he greeted the mother and daughter, and walked straight into the mansion.

Qiao Mingjin bowed behind him.It was rare to meet such a talkative person for the first time.

When the mother and daughter said goodbye and left, Qiao Mingjin grabbed a handful of copper coins from the bag and stuffed them into the hands of the two boys, thanking them.So he took Xiao Wan'er away.

Then she followed the same pattern and went to another ten houses in succession.They are all notified at the door, and they are looking for a tent.

In fact, you may not be able to find someone else.But if you look for a tent, you will usually find someone.

Few tents are clean.

If you want to calm down, you have to come out and meet.

Of course, some people think it is too expensive.It is said that the wood is not good, but it is just ordinary wood, not worth a tael of silver.

There are also some people who hold it in their hands and look at it carefully.It's just that Qiao Mingjin didn't give them too many opportunities to observe.

She hasn't earned her first pot of gold yet, so how can others rush to learn it so quickly?

There is also a counting room in the mansion. After seeing Qiao Mingjin's abacus, he asked the young man to call a young tent to come out, saying that she was asked to compare the counting with that small counting house. Whoever can calculate accurately and quickly , just buy her abacus.

He also said that if Qiao Mingjin won, he would help the accountants in the mansion to buy one.And there are also all the major shops in the mansion and the tents of Zhuangzi everywhere.A total of sixty large ones.Another thirty small ones are needed, just to see if Qiao Mingjin has the ability.

Qiao Mingjin's temperament is not the kind of person who gets excited when he is excited.But it's clearly about silver.Today, the big silver is the biggest in the world.How can you have trouble with silver?

Not to be outdone, Qiao Mingjin agreed without even thinking about it.How can you bow your head in front of these ancients?

She also made a condition.If she wins.This abacus was raised from two taels of silver to five taels!The small abacus has been raised from five taels to ten taels!And it needs to be written down in black and white.

The accountant of the Xie Mansion was immediately stirred up.

Even the old man who was idle at home squeezed out to watch the fun.

Mrs. Xie of that family started from scratch.I was illiterate when I was a child, and as an apprentice, I learned abacus from him, and learned very hard.

Later, when they got rich, they would try their best to recruit people who were very good at making accounts and planning to come to the mansion.

So the tents of their family are extremely powerful.Don't look at the paper.Someone held a piece of paper to read, and the accountant turned the beads on the abacus. After the others finished reading, the accountant who turned the abacus also calculated the result.

The old man of Xie Mansion proposed such a method of competition.

He also added a sentence, saying that if Qiao Mingjin wins, he will not only buy her sixty big abacus as written on the paper.Thirty small abacus.We have to double this number!

All the young masters and young ladies in their family are handed over, and those who are more are given to the children of relatives.

And add another 100 taels of lottery.Whoever wins takes it.

As a result, more than a dozen tents in the Xie Mansion scrambled to compete with Qiao Mingjin.

A joke, a little lady from the country.Can it compare to those who are immersed in this way every day?

100 taels of silver!Who doesn't want to take it!

In the end, Mrs. Xie pushed a young man who was recognized as fast and accurate to compete with Qiao Mingjin.

Another middle-aged accountant was chosen to stand aside and read the numbers.

At that time, Qiao Mingjin only had a big abacus and a small abacus in her bag.She took them all out and put them on the table.

After Mrs. Xie said the beginning, Qiao Mingjin moved both hands at the same time.After clearing the plate, the left hand and the right hand come together, and both hands are flying.It was so fast that people couldn't see her movements clearly.

All the people present were dumbfounded.

The old accountant who was reading numbers on the side stayed where he was, and almost couldn't continue reading.

joke.In the previous life, in order to practice the abacus, I practiced with the tape recorder for an unknown number of years.

As soon as the tape started, Qiao Mingjin followed up with the liquidation and started playing.After the soft girl in the recorder finished reading, Qiao Mingjin's result came out.

Wait for the female voice to say "equal to..."

Qiao Mingjin didn't even need to look at the disk, the answers she typed were all printed in her mind.

When the answer was read from the tape recorder, and her result was correct, she followed up with the liquidation.Before the next question was read into the tape recorder, she was already winding up and getting ready, and could still squint her eyes and rest for a while.

Besides, what's so strange about two abacus playing at the same time?

This is the basics, right?It's just that when practicing the basics, you practice with two hands on one abacus at the same time, dividing the left and right halves.

But Qiao Mingjin didn't practice less when the two abacus came together, which could save a lot of time.

Qiao Mingjin laughed happily when he saw the group of people dumbfounded.
