Chapter 123 Password?

Shao Qiu returned home, ready to go to Lu Erniu's house.

Nowadays, every household is busy with farming, Shaoqiu didn't want to find Lu Erniu at first, but thinking of their family's situation, he still went to find Lu Erniu.

He wanted Lu Erniu to collect the flowers for him. In spring, the wild flowers on the mountain are in full bloom, especially the apricot and peach blossoms, but they have a lot of apricot flowers here, and peach blossoms can only be found in other villages. Shaoqiu can only ask others to go. Harvesting, he first needs to know the flower seeds in each village, so that he can slowly harvest. Here in Lujia Village, there are extraordinarily many wild flowers. Even the few winter plums on the mountain in winter are very beautiful. Shao Qiu saw it by chance. , As for the flower seeds in other places, he hasn't looked at them yet.

Shao Qiu wrote down the flowers he needed and the method of picking them, as well as the planting methods he had seen in his previous life and this life. In the last life, the ground was not suitable for growing plants, but this place is very suitable. He used all the planting methods he saw in his previous life here. On the contrary, it grows very well. Of course, let them pay attention not to pick the flowers, save some for seeds, and they can continue next year. Otherwise, if they are picked early, it is not suitable for long-term development, and then they will be handed over to Lu Erniu. .

In fact, he can grow a lot of flowers, but he doesn't have so much time to plant, so he finds someone to help collect flowers and plant flowers.

Lu Erniu is one of them, and he will find an agent to collect other flowers in other places.

And Baili Village is even busier now. In addition to the busy farming, there are also a large number of herbs purchased by Yunxiang Restaurant. Some herbs are planted at home, and those wastelands in the middle of the mountain are now open to Chinese herbal medicine.

They were all so busy, and it was impossible for Shaoqiu to find work for them, so he came to Lu's Village.

In the past, he used to pick herbs and pick flowers to make rouge cream and cleanser by himself. At that time, facing the mountains, he didn’t need much, and he could do it by himself. Now he is going to move to a house in the town. It is impossible to collect herbs by yourself, let alone pick flowers by yourself.

"Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you, and Nunu." Shaoqiu took out 50 taels of silver from the purse, which were all loose, and [-] copper coins.

"Some flowers need to be dried, but the price will be higher by the catty!"

"Some flowers are delicate when they are young, and the blooming ones can't be dried." "I have written the treatment methods above. You can find those people who have nothing to do on weekdays and only embroider and mend clothes at home." Help, women are more careful in doing these things, uncle, you don’t have to go get the flowers yourself, you just send out a message and ask them to come over and ask you for advice.”

"Brother Qiu, you want so many flowers, all because of rouge."

"Yes. It's best to find someone you can trust. No matter who it is, just plant flowers well. For example, in those wastelands, you can pull out the weeds and plant some flowers and plants. I heard that there is a flower farmer in Lujia Village. If he has extra flowers , it’s best to accept his first! You can’t tell other people about the above planting methods, even the flower farmer, you know? You must find honest, trustworthy, hardworking and careful people to do these methods, otherwise If the flowers and plants are damaged, I will not accept them, and so will you, uncle, you can’t just follow other people’s words and feel sorry for them when harvesting flowers, you must follow the rules, otherwise I won’t let you do this.”

Lu Erniu was a little anxious when he heard this. In fact, he knew Shao Qiu's good intentions. Although he said he didn't need money, when he heard Shao Qiu say that he wouldn't let him do it, he became nervous again, "Don't worry, uncle will help you. It’s done, the price will be based on the above, and it will never let everyone suffer, and it will not let you suffer. I will follow the method written above, and if anyone does not follow the method of buying you on the website, I will not accept it. , Also, don’t charge too much, appoint someone to pick the flowers, absolutely don’t take the worn ones, and collect them every three days! I understand, I understand.”

"It's good to really understand, but let's try it first. As long as uncle meets my requirements, you can do whatever you want." Lu Erniu is very honest, and Shaoqiu believes that he will not use those tricks to deceive people. Because he can't lie at all.

"After the matter is completed, I will give uncle a [-]% commission."

"Then, how can it be done?" Lu Erniu disagreed, "It's too much, so I'll just run errands for you, no money, no money!"

"Uncle, I'm here for a long-term business, not a short-term one. How can I let you suffer? You help me run every day, and I'm still sorry? The [-]% commission is what you deserve, so you can take it with peace of mind. , not to mention, I have a cousin or cousin who is about to be born, there are many places to spend money, so you don't have to refuse."

"...I see, well, I don't know anything about your uncle, so you can do what you say, but [-]% is still too high, [-]% is good, [-]% is good."

"It's [-]% for others, and [-]% for you. You are my uncle."

"That won't work, how can it be different?"

"If uncle is not willing, then I will give [-]% to others."

Lu Erniu couldn't say no to Shao Qiu, "Won't you be at a loss then?"

"Why did you lose money? By the way, does uncle know how to keep accounts?"

Lu Erniu is too honest, Shaoqiu wants them to live a better life, he can't just rely on their own farming, and his subsidy, which is far from enough, so he still needs to let Lu Erniu know how to settle accounts and make life easier. It's better to have a good calculation than to be confused, because when something happens, you don't know what to do, and you don't know what to do. Of course, it doesn't matter, Shaoqiu will teach you slowly.

Lu Erniu blushed, "I, I didn't record it!"

"Does it count?"

"know a little?"

"Then I'll test you!"

Lu Erniu suddenly became uneasy.

"Don't be nervous, uncle, just tell me what you know, if not, I'll teach you again."

Lu Erniu was overjoyed, "Hey, Brother Qiu, you are really good, really good, it's uncle who is so useless!"

"Uncle doesn't need to say such things. If other elders hear me say such things, they still feel that I am arrogant and beat me up. Uncle wants to learn, but he will not feel ashamed that I have taught him."

"How could it be?" Lu Erniu looked puzzled, "Brother Qiu is capable, but your uncle and I are incompetent. Brother Qiu is willing to teach me skills, and I'm too happy to do so!"

"Well, that's how it should be, Nunu, you should learn along with me!"

"Okay." Lu Yuer responded happily.

"Okay, listen to the question and see if you can figure it out! In the breakfast room, there are [-] steamed buns. There are [-] monks gathered in the temple. The big monks will get three steamed buns for each person, and the young monks will get one steamed bun for every three people. Just finished the division, may I ask, how many big monks and how many young monks are there in the temple."

Lu Erniu was a little tangled, "Why is it so troublesome, one for each person, wouldn't it be fine?"

Shao Qiu: "..." Really, Shao Qiu regretted looking for him, but since the decision was made, and to improve their lives and make them more income, Shao Qiu still endured and said: "Uncle, this is a topic , look at the question I gave you, don't worry about why they don't share one for each person, you just need to figure out how many monks there are?

It doesn't matter how many little monks there are. "

"This, this, I, I can't figure it out."

He has no idea at all. Although he knows a little about arithmetic, he simply counts money. Just because he can read and write doesn't mean he is good at arithmetic.

Shao Qiu then asked him a few more questions, and found that he could only do simple addition and subtraction, not even an abacus. Of course, he himself did not know how to do an abacus either.

Lu Yu'er looked confused, and shook her head when she thought of something.

Then, her eyes lit up, and she hurried into the kitchen, and took out a palm of soybeans, a palm of brown rice, and a small bowl of mung beans. The rice was much smaller than the soybeans.

Then start counting slowly, counting out one hundred grains of rice, one hundred soybeans and one hundred mung beans.

Lu Yuer began to pose on the ground.

First put a soybean, then three grains of rice, put three mung beans next to the soybeans, put one mung bean on top of the three grains of rice, exactly four mung beans, she seemed to think of something, then put the mung beans away, and put them in the next row One soybean and three grains of rice.

Put it aside and count until the sum of soybeans and rice is equal to the number of one hundred mung beans, then stop, and then count slowly, "Big cousin, I know, I know! The little monk has 75, the big monk 25."

Lu Yu'er's voice attracted the attention of Shao Qiu and the others.

All I saw were soybeans and rice on the floor in front of Lu Yuer.

When Lu Erniu saw Lu Yuer throwing the rice and soybeans on the ground, he became anxious immediately, but before he could speak, Shao Qiu praised: "Nu Nu is awesome, how did you figure it out?"

At this time, Lu Erniu suddenly felt puzzled, and he was not in a hurry to scold Lu Yuer, but curious about how she calculated it. He only felt that his mind was confused, but his daughter came out.

The two walked to Lu Yuer's side together. Lu Yuer pointed to the rice and soybeans on the ground and said, "I've divided them into groups. Three young monks and one big monk are in a group. Big cousin, look, it happens to be a group of four, one There are three steamed buns for the big monk and one steamed bun for the three young monks. There are exactly four steamed buns in one group, and one hundred monks can be divided into 25 groups, so there are 25 big monks, and the small monks are three times as many as the big monks. Well, I I can’t figure it out, but I clicked it out, exactly 75.”

Shaoqiu looked at Lu Yu'er in surprise, he didn't expect her to have such a talent, "Nunu is really great, she has the ability to settle accounts as a housekeeper, it makes sense when you think about it, that's right, there are 25 senior monks and 75 junior monks. "

When Lu Erniu heard Shao Qiu praise his daughter, he suddenly puffed up his chest and became proud, that was his daughter, awesome!Put aside the waste of rice and soybeans.

"Can Nunu count?"

Lu Yuer shook her head, "I, I won't, my family has no plans."

"The big cousin will teach you how to count without an abacus. In the future, you will learn as much as you can with your uncle."

"Okay, but, big cousin, is there any way to calculate without an abacus?"

"That's Big Cousin's password. From now on, you will use Big Cousin's password to keep accounts, understand?"

"Hmm, um!" Lu Yu'er was eager to try, and she was excited when she thought of the secret code of her big cousin.

"Uncle, Nunu is very talented, let her follow suit!"

"Success, success, I'll listen to you, Brother Qiu, I'll listen to you!"

Shao Qiu nodded with a smile, and tested some questions on Lu Yuer, and found that Lu Yuer's arithmetic talent is really good, she has never learned it, but those simple additions, additions, subtractions and subtractions are better than Lu Erniu, she is really good at numbers. Very sensitive, why didn't they realize that Lu Yu'er had such a talent before?But it's not too late to find out now.

Mrs. Zhao came out of the house, planning to go to the kitchen to cook.

"Brother Qiu, I really want to thank you for helping us so much and teaching Er Niu and Nu Nu how to do it."

"Why did you come out? Don't just lie down and rest, I'll just cook the meals." Lu Erniu quickly forgot what troubled him before, and he was thinking about the child in Zhao's belly.

"Aren't I bored in the house? Want to come out for a walk!"

"Then you can't just come out and tell me."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Lu Erniu complainingly, but Lu Erniu immediately fell silent.

Shao Qiu had dinner at Lu Erniu's house.

That night, Shao Qiu began to teach them to know Arabic numerals, and then let them know something called a table.

The Arabic numerals are used as the code between Shao Qiu and them, and each of them can be found correspondingly. It is not difficult to understand, but the table is somewhat general.

It was troublesome for Shao Qiu to explain, but he was not in a hurry, he could teach slowly, so that night, he only let them know Arabic numerals, as long as they knew that there was such a thing on the form.
