Chapter 424 The first question
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "Look carefully and see if you can understand it in the end."
Mr. Bai smiled and narrowed his eyes.
With a bucket, you can not only check the status of each seed, but also you can not shake the bucket. Once the bucket is down, the sharp ones will come out. It can be twelve kilograms or twelve and a half kilograms. Experienced people,
For example, the county clerk responsible for collecting taxes can get 13 kilograms in one bucket.
Mr. Bai decided to use the bucket when he went to Lao Zhou's house later.
However, the old Zhou family can completely negotiate business, but there is no need to be so strict with the three children, so half and half, just to teach them a lesson.
Mr. Bai realized that he had regained the game and felt refreshed.
The wheat that was brought out was placed on the ground, and the long-term worker stepped forward to untie the bag. Master Bai's housekeeper was already prepared and stepped forward with a bucket, followed by a servant holding a bag.
The two of them cooperated, and the butler poured it into the empty bag without any pause. He and Zhuangtou Bai reported "one" together, and then continued.
After each bucket was filled, a number was read out. When the bag was filled, any leftovers that were not enough for a bucket were counted with the next bag. Then, Master Bai's accountant and Bai Erlang wrote down a number in their respective account books.
Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao, who were sitting aside, were dialing in the chips together.
Bai Erlang has also been learning arithmetic recently, but Mr. Zhuang is not strict with him. He can learn if he likes it, and forget it if he doesn't like it.
Because in Mr. Zhuang's opinion, his arithmetic is not yet good enough to learn to calculate chips, but because he bought the chips, Mr. Zhuang has been paying more attention to his arithmetic recently.
Bai Erlang didn't know that he had been deceived by his senior sisters and brothers. He also felt that his husband had been particularly tolerant to him recently. He smiled at him every time he learned calculations and never made things difficult for him.
So recently he has been somewhat enthusiastic about things like accounting.
They went to measure the second bag. Manbao was a little bored. After looking around, he simply calculated the price of the fourteen buckets.
In order to save space, the sacks they used to hold wheat were the largest sacks. Each sack weighed almost one stone, and weighed about 1,670 kilograms.
In comparison, the sacks commonly used by farmers are much smaller. Manbao often helps his family count them when paying taxes, knowing that a bag of wheat weighs about a hundred kilograms.
One dou is one hundred and fifty coins, fourteen dou is...
Man Bao stumbled over the chips and looked at the calculated numbers.
She blinked, a little doubtful, "Is that much?"
Bai Shanbao came up to take a look and simply did the math. The two of them were surprised to find that the numbers they calculated were actually the same.
So that means they got it right?
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but exclaim.
Bai Erlang immediately became distracted and came up to ask, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Man Bao immediately asked him to write down the amount of money at the back, "Just remember 2,100 Wen, and we can just use the arithmetic to add it later, so we don't have to multiply it again."
"That's right, it's faster this way." Bai Shanbao took up a pen and made an example on Bai Erlang's notebook, writing "Money 2,100 Wen" after the first bag totaling fourteen dou.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhuang looked at each other. Mr. Bai immediately looked at the servant behind him and ordered: "Go get another bucket. It's too slow for one person to measure it, so two people must work together."
There was an extra group of people, and the three children were a little confused. They had just measured a bag, and Bai Zhuangtou reported the numbers. Before Bai Erlang finished writing, the group next to him had also finished measuring.
The long-term worker responsible for supervision also reported the number, and then moved on to the next bag.
Bai Erlang couldn't help but trembled with his hands and muttered something in his mouth. As soon as he finished writing the numbers on Bai Zhuang's header, he immediately went to write the numbers on the Changgong's report, for fear of forgetting after writing.
Then Bai Shanbao and Manbao on the side calculated the amount of money. Sometimes if they agreed, Bai Erlang would write it down. If they didn't agree, they would calculate it again.
So you have to count two sets of numbers at least once every time.
It just happened that they had just learned to count chips a few days ago, and although they were familiar with Jiujiu Ge, they were struggling to do the math and their speed was slow.
Every time Bai Erlang hadn't finished recording their numbers, the person measuring on the side reported the numbers again.
Bai Erlang was so busy that he couldn't wipe the sweat off his forehead. Bai Shanbao and Man Bao couldn't help but take out pen and paper to help. Each person was responsible for a group of numbers. They wrote them down first, and then copied them after Bai Erlang finished the previous ones.
The two of them were distracted, memorizing and calculating, while they were still complaining about Bai Erlang, "You write too slowly, you have to speed up."
Man Bao said: "I told you not to practice at ordinary times. You don't take notes when the teacher is in class. Otherwise, why would your speed be so slow?"
Mr. Bai on the side glared at his son, snorted and said nothing.
However, Bai Erlang had no time to pay attention to his father at the moment, and he didn't hear the snort at all.
Seeing the three children running around in a hurry, Mr. Bai curled his lips in pleasure. After they got used to the speed, he signaled the butler and others to speed up.
The three children are very busy again, but fortunately it is not as chaotic as it was at the beginning, at least they are busy and orderly.
Master Bai looked at it and felt very complicated in his heart.
He was a bystander, so he naturally knew that such a busy situation was due to Shanbao and Manbao being in control. Each of them was responsible for one side, recording the data and then calculating the accounts together. Only when they agreed, they would write down the numbers, so in the end he
The son only needs to copy the numbers given on both sides.
Master Bai asked his servants to bring two chairs, and he and Mr. Zhuang hid under the eaves and sat there, holding a cup of hot tea in their hands, watching with gusto and sighing.
Mr. Zhuang drank tea with a smile. He felt that Bai Er had made great progress compared to last year. This was naturally due to the development of small classes, which gave him more energy to focus on him.
Also because Man Bao and Shan Bao always play with him now.
There used to be many students in the school. Bai Er had his best friends, and Man Bao and Bai Shanbao also had classmates who played well together.
There are separate circles after class and after school.
But the school is gone, and the circle of three people, no, it should be that the circles of the two parties have to overlap passively.
Man Bao and Shan Bao would follow Bai Er to the fields to catch loaches after it rained. Bai Er would also follow them in the study room to read and write when it rained.
Bai Er's studies have improved, and Shanbao and Manbao have become more integrated into the children of the same age in Qili Village. This effect is mutual.
Bag after bag of wheat was opened and measured into another bag, and the book in front of Bai Er turned page after page.
After roughly measuring half of the wheat, Mr. Bai asked his servants to tie the grain bags to a large scale and weigh the rest.
