Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 125 Ni Xiaopang's Golden Abacus

"That's how the abacus works." Ni Xiaopang looked at Yuan Bao calmly, "Just tell me what you want, and we can order it."

Yuan Bao hesitated, "Didn't I tell you, this way of settling accounts cannot be told to others, if this abacus is made to order, others will know about it?"

But when Yuan Bao drew the five-bead abacus he wanted (one bead on the upper end and four beads on the lower end), Ni Xiaopang was delighted, "Why is this an abacus? , it doesn't matter, I'll find someone to do it, as long as I don't say what it is, no one will guess it."

To be honest, there are still many differences between modern abacus and this space-time abacus in details, for example, the number of beads is small, and the beads are no longer round but have an edge, which is easier to move , the whole abacus is very narrow, but it is relatively long and has many digits, so it can be calculated with both hands at the same time...

In the past, Yuan Bao didn't pay attention to these things. Now that I think about it, these small changes are all for the purpose of improving the calculation speed. It's really cheap for Ni Xiaopang!

Yuan Bao slapped his forehead, "I remembered, the gold thread in the jade shop is very good." It's an alloy, it's soft and hard, it's not easy to damage, and it's always shiny. All right!"

Thinking that the jade shop was under the name of the second master and could keep accounts, Yuan Bao simply asked Ni Xiaopang to make six calculations, and she kept everything except one for Ni Xiaopang, planning to distribute it to the children of the Su family.

As for Yuan Bao herself, she didn't need to calculate.

In this way, Ni Xiaopang had his own golden abacus. Later, this abacus and the calculation method taught to him by Yuan Bao were regarded as his family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation.

"Basic Accounting" was an elective course Yuan Bao took when she was in college. She really didn't study hard, except for the three bookkeeping methods taught to Ni Xiaopang, there seemed to be nothing left, but in this course one The "Abacus and Mental Arithmetic" taught by the guest professor as a propaganda made Yuanbao use it for a lifetime, no, it should have been used for two lifetimes.

This mental calculation speed is comparable to that of a calculator. For Yuan Bao, who would calculate several times when spending a dollar, and compare all the discount packs, special packs, and family packs of various brands to buy a bag of washing powder, it is no different. Like a treasure.

At the beginning, Yuanbao didn't learn very well. Even if he memorized some formulas, he still couldn't fully understand the meaning, but he couldn't stop Yuanbao from using them endlessly. Later, Yuanbao was able to achieve practice makes perfect, and he had no calculations in his hands. I always have the state of quick calculation of the abacus in my heart.

Abacus mental arithmetic has its special calculation methods, such as counting from a high position, stacking, etc. According to Yuan Bao's personal understanding, it should be a half-back and half-calculation method, coupled with proficiency, so as to achieve the effect of extremely fast calculation speed, and This point is very suitable for Ni Xiaopang who relies on rote memorization for everything.

Yuan Bao divides "Abacus and Mental Arithmetic" into three realms. One is to be familiar with the formulas and be able to calculate proficiently on the abacus; This is what Yuanbao is like now. When one sees or hears a number, the calculation result appears in his mind, just like some people type with a keyboard, and their fingers move naturally as soon as they see the word. As for which letter is on which key I can't tell.

"What's this for?" Ni Xiaopang touched the little red bumps on the rung and asked, "Is it for looking good?"

Yuan Bao was all smiles, rubies, although they are not big, they are worth some silver, but their function on the abacus is to represent decimal points, "What if the account book records how many taels of silver? Don't you remember the copper coins? Use them to separate, can't you see clearly?"

Ni Xiaopang easily understood the concept of decimals, "The back is a hundred copper coins, ten hundred is one thousand, exactly one tael of silver, this abacus is really good!"

For Yuan Bao, many things are just following the trend, but for Ni Xiaopang, they affect his life.

After learning how to keep accounts, in less than a month, Ni Xiaopang took over the small workshop completely. Although he is slow and clumsy, he is very serious. Yuan Bao only needs to count the silver with ease. He generously praised Ni Xiaopang for this ingot, making Ni Xiaopang feel that all the hard work for this is really worth it!
And Ni Xiaopang's performance also shocked many people, first the old man who had been paying attention to them, and then the second old man who returned home at the end of the year.At that time, after nearly half a year of training, Ni Xiaopang had already advanced to the second level of imaginary abacus calculations. When the second master asked him about the account books of his small workshop, Ni Xiaopang, in order to protect the secret of Yuanbao's accounting method, Very bachelor said, "I don't have an account book, I do my calculations every day."

The second master naturally didn't believe it, and just reprimanded loudly, "Nonsense!" But when the second master really gave out a lot of figures for Ni Xiaopang to calculate, he could no longer blame him.

After listening to a series of numbers, Ni Xiaopang stared at the void, his eyes straightened, his fingers hidden in his robe swayed slightly, and then he gave out correct answers one by one, regardless of adding The speed and accuracy of subtraction, multiplication and division are astonishing, and the second master was directly shocked as a heavenly man.

These results led to Ni Xiaopang living in Leisurely Pavilion for a long time, and became the first among several young masters to get his own shop.

It's already September, and the fragrance of flowers floats in the shadow of the whirling trees, creating a pleasant atmosphere accompanied by the refreshing night breeze. Yuan Bao is sitting under the window practicing calligraphy. Suddenly, Ni Xiaopang yells from outside the window, "Yuan Bao !"

Yuan Bao shook his hand, a word was ruined just like that, Yuan Bao was in a hurry, crumpled the piece of paper and threw it out of the window, "Young master, you have never finished, you play such a boring game every time!" Still missed Ni Xiaopang's swiftly receding figure.

"Hahaha..." Ni Xiaopang laughed heartily and proudly.

It has been nearly fifteen months since Ni Xiaopang started to lose weight, and it has been a year since he took the emetic tonic. He has made great progress in losing weight. He has changed from a fat man who everyone laughs at to the slightly fat boy he is now. .

Since the Chinese New Year this year, Yuan Bao has stopped making color-matching robes for him, and he also has a surprise, in order to lose weight, he has been exercising unremittingly, which has made his body particularly healthy, his body strong and flexible, and his physical strength is very abundant , I don't know when, Ni Xiaopang discovered that the second brother and the third brother could not run faster than him.

As time went by, Yuanbao continued to provide Ni Xiaopang with various exercise methods in order to increase the amount of exercise. Otherwise, the weight loss effect would stagnate. Among these exercises, Ni Xiaopang only loves running.
