Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Started harvesting ground beans today.

The villagers are a little worried. If Xia Chuntian peaches don't collect as much or the price drops, then the two months of hard work will be in vain.

After all, not many people outside buy this stuff.

Is Xia Chuntao a dishonest person? It was agreed at that time that the market price would be two cents per catty, and the price would be charged at two cents.

The purchase address is right in front of the vermicelli workshop. Two tables, two benches, two large scales and two small scales.

Speaking of scales, we have to praise our inventor Shuanzi Dad.

There are no scales in Dai Viet. Xia Chuntao drew a sketch for Dad Shuanzi based on the impression of the scale in his mind. Yes, it was another sketch. Then, I briefly talked about how this thing is weighed.

Shuanzi's father made this thing in less than two months.

On the day of success, Shuanzi's father was very excited, "Chuntao, let me tell you the principle of this scale."

Bah bah bah bah...

Xia Chuntao:? ? ?

Please, stop torturing me, a scumbag!

Today is the first appearance of the scale, and the villagers are very curious about it.

Can this thing weigh?

I heard that you can weigh 500 kilograms at a time!

"Are you lying? I don't believe it. Don't fool us. Don't be calculating."

"Isn't it true that this thing can weigh five hundred kilograms at a time?"

"It's still the old way of saying peace of mind."

Everyone nodded, worried that Xia Chuntao would steal their money.

It is normal for the villagers to have such thoughts, so Xia Chuntao is going to demonstrate the operation of the scale.

Zhao Dongsheng and another young student helped lift a basket of ground beans onto the scale. Xia Chuntao added a weighing weight of 100 kilograms, and then adjusted the weight. When the scale reaches a balanced state, add 100 kilograms to the scale displayed. This is the basket of ground beans. final weight.

"One hundred and three pounds." Xia Chuntao announced the number loudly, "If you don't believe it, let's weigh it with a small scale."

Wu Qiang took a small scale and weighed the basket of beans. The total weight was one hundred and two kilograms and eighty taels.

When Xia Chuntao looked at the scale of the scale, the positions did not coincide with three ounces. She deliberately ignored the small amount, which was just a few ounces, and Xia Chuntao could afford it.

The villagers witnessed the power of the scale with their own eyes, which was really surprising!

This thing is really powerful, it can weigh quickly and accurately. Their ground beans have probably been weighed at home and they know it well.

The key is, this scale can weigh a little more than ordinary small scales, which is great! The villagers who originally planned to use the old method of weighing came over and lined up, waiting for the big scale to weigh.

When Wei Tingzhou arrived, he happened to see Xia Chuntao weighing ground beans on a scale.

Don't tell me, this thing is really interesting!

Where did Xia Chuntao get this thing? I have never seen it before.

Sure enough, life is fun when you follow the little rabbit.

Xia Chuntao also saw Wei Tingzhou, and without saying a word, she pushed him onto the chair, pointed at the pen and ink on the table, and asked him to be the note taker.

Sitting at another table were two brothers, Anzi and Alai, looking curiously at Wei Tingzhou.

Wei Tingzhou saw a form drawn on the paper, with the headers marked: serial number, name, weight, amount, and signature. Xia Chuntao told Wei Tingzhou how to fill it.

Does registering something need to be so detailed? This is Wei Tingzhou's blind spot, but it's not difficult.

"Sister Chuntao, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong." Wei Tingzhou promised with a smile.

When the villagers saw a well-dressed and handsome young man sitting in front of the table, the noise became louder.

Finally someone couldn't help but asked, "Chuntao, who is this?"

"This is a distant relative of my family. He is considered... my brother. I borrowed him from the elders in the family for a few days to help me be a record keeper. Just call him Xiao Wei." Xia Chuntao thought about it. If Wei Tingzhou comes from time to time To find her, you have to have a normal identity and simply make up a suitable one.

Wei Tingzhou smiled when he looked at Xia Chuntao, who was telling lies with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

Little Rabbit was so serious when he made up lies, why is it so interesting!

If Xia Chuntao knew what Wei Tingzhou was thinking at this time, she would definitely scold him like she scolded her son: "Rabbit, you uncle! Just work, don't think about any nonsense!"

Anzi and Alai are responsible for calculating the amount of money due. There is no doubt that this is a very important thing.

Why leave such an important matter to two dolls?

Xia Chuntao has always believed that practice is the best criterion for testing the quality of learning.

In the past two months, she has been teaching her two children to count the abacus.

Both children have become very proficient in normal multi-digit addition and subtraction. Of course, Xia Chuntao can't even multiply and divide using an abacus. This time harvesting ground beans is just a good time for the children to try their hand.

In case the children made calculation errors, Xia Chuntao also prepared pen and paper and calculated at the same time to ensure the accuracy of the calculation. Of course, no one can understand her ghost drawings.

Dongsheng and the others were responsible for carrying the beans to the scale, Shuanzi dad and Wu Qiang were responsible for weighing them on the scale, Anzi and Alai were responsible for calculations, Wei Tingzhou was responsible for recording, and Xia Chuntao was responsible for paying.

There were a few strong villagers who were willing to be responsible for carrying it.

The division of labor is clear and work begins.

After weighing, registering, calculating, giving money, and drawing a pledge, the weighed and paid beans were transported in baskets to the large open space northwest of the workshop. The whole process was orderly.

The villagers were shocked when the brothers Anzi and Alai calculated the amount of money with almost no mistakes. Alai won't say it anymore, how long has Anzi been following Xia Chuntao, and the score will be settled, this is amazing!

Look at other people's children, and then look at your own baby with a runny nose and rubbing himself everywhere.

Alas, I can’t raise it!

Xia Chuntao had no time to take into account the villagers' discussions. She kept her head down counting money and head up to pay. Wei Tingzhou next to him became the most relaxed one, as long as he didn't remember it wrong.

Leisurely Wei Tingzhou would look at Xia Chuntao's ghostly drawings on paper from time to time. What is this? Can you know the final amount of money just by looking at these curved levers?

Wei Tingzhou suddenly had a strange feeling. Xia Chuntao did not look like people from Dai Viet. No, it should be said that Xia Chuntao did not look like people who would exist here.

He didn't know why, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What are you so confused about? Remember it quickly!"

Xia Chuntao's urging brought Wei Tingzhou back to reality from the strange thoughts he had just had. Looking at such a vivid Xia Chuntao, Wei Tingzhou felt that his previous thoughts were quite childish. He was right next to him, how could he suddenly disappear? ?

Then he shook his head and smiled, taking notes with peace of mind.

On the same day, at the Ling family's old house, Xuan Er was reporting to Ling Qingxuan about Xia Chuntao's harvest of ground beans.

"That thing, Madam Xia calls it a scale. I have never seen it before. When Madam Xia demonstrated how to use it, I saw it up close. It is convenient and accurate to weigh heavy objects."

"Let Li An make a trip tomorrow to ask about the specific situation." Ling Qingxuan ordered calmly.

"Yes."

"My subordinates also saw Crown Prince Wei. Madam Xia called him her distant brother and asked him to come over to help take notes. It seems that Madam Xia and Crown Prince Wei are quite familiar with each other."

Ling Qingxuan paused while turning the book and looked up at Xuan Er.

Xuan Er lowered his head, not knowing what he said wrong.

"Tomorrow, ask Li An to bring a few more people to help Xia Chuntao," Ling Qingxuan glanced at Xuan Er again, "You go too, and come back after collecting the beans."

"Yes!" Now I was sure that I had said the wrong thing.

Huh? Not necessarily. Master wants me to keep an eye on Prince Wei the whole time, right? right?
