Volume 1: I didn’t know when I first traveled through Chapter 58: Settlement
Haoyue lifted up her draft paper, but saw that there was only a row of Chinese characters on it, writing a few numbers. The rest were Arabic numerals that shopkeeper Xu, his wife and Shen Chen couldn't understand.
Shopkeeper Xu picked up the account book, turned to the last page, and looked at the few words written by Haoyue, which turned out to be exactly right.
Shopkeeper Xu looked up at Haoyue in surprise. He had been paying attention to her just now. She didn't turn the last page, so she couldn't have known it in advance.
But in such a short time, she finished the calculation that I could finish in one day. Shopkeeper Xu didn't believe it.
"Here, here. Go get another account and do the calculations for this little girl."
"Hey." Mrs. Xu also didn't believe that Haoyue had finished calculating an account in such a short period of time. This time she quickly fetched another account book and also got paper for Haoyue to use.
A quarter of an hour later, several people gathered in Shopkeeper Xu's shop. They all stood behind Shen Chen and Shen Hu, stretching their necks to look at the little girl inside who was writing a pen to settle accounts.
"Shopkeeper Xu, is this the final income of your account?" Haoyue held up another piece of draft paper, which also had only a row of Chinese characters.
Shopkeeper Xu picked up the account book, flipped to the end, and compared it with the Chinese characters written by Haoyue, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Go get another one."
"Hey." Mrs. Xu responded and went to get the account book.
"Shopkeeper Xu, is she right?" someone from the crowd watching the excitement asked loudly.
"Yes, is she right?"
"Is it correct?"......
Shopkeeper Xu, who was dazed in disbelief, heard the crowd's noise and replied dumbly, "That's right!"
"Ah? Did she calculate correctly? It's only been a quarter of an hour!"
"Yes! It's only a quarter of an hour!" Many disbelieving voices came from the crowd.
Haoyue looked at these people watching the fun, turned around, and curled up the corners of her mouth. They came just in time.
A quarter of an hour later, Haoyue had just finished writing, and before he could raise the draft paper in his hand, shopkeeper Xu grabbed the account book and started correcting it himself.
And more and more people gathered in Shopkeeper Xu’s shop to watch the excitement.
"Right again!" Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but believe it this time. It only took three quarters of an hour to complete the calculations for three consecutive ledgers, and they were all correct.
"Shopkeeper Xu, do you want to get another copy?" Haoyue asked proudly, raising the corners of her mouth.
"Get another one."
"Get another one." echoes came from the crowd.
Many of them heard other people's comments and had just come here. They had never seen Haoyue calculating three accounts in a row before.
"Then take another book." Shopkeeper Xu has completely trusted Haoyue's ability to settle accounts.
Just in response to everyone's request, I asked my wife to take another book and give it to Haoyue. Anyway, it only takes a quarter of an hour.
A quarter of an hour later, Shopkeeper Xu's shop was full of people, and they all looked inside with their feet up and their necks stretched out.
Among the people in front, words like, "Oops, you've squeezed me, please move back, move back." would be heard from time to time.
"Forget it." Haoyue put down the brush in his hand, put his hands together, and moved his hands.
Writing with this brush is very laborious, and I was exhausted in this hour.
It’s been a long time since I’ve written like this. It’s like doing questions non-stop for two days during the college entrance examination. My hands feel so sore.
"How is Shopkeeper Xu?"
"That's right. Shopkeeper Xu, tell me, are you right?" Everyone couldn't wait to ask for the result.
"This, the calculation was wrong this time." Shopkeeper Xu said helplessly.
