Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

It took three and a half days to get rid of the weeds, because the housekeeper Mo found that the yard was really too big, and the seven people didn't know when they had to work, so they pulled three people back from the street the next day.

Now that there are ten people, the speed is faster, and the work that was originally expected to be completed in five days was completed ahead of schedule.

After the yard was finished, a large piece of dark land that had been turned over was exuding a faint earthy fragrance.There was not a single weed on it, and they picked it out with their hands.

"Mother, what do you think is wrong with such a good piece of land? What kind of flowers do you want to use to grow it? You can't eat it and you can't play it. It's weird how rich people think." Yu Xiaoliu squatted on the common bunk, He didn't stop when he opened his mouth.

"Calm down, kid, learn from Zhang Shu, do more and talk less! You can talk about rich people?" Laiwang patted his head, although he didn't understand.

Zhang Shu smiled at them and didn't interrupt.In the past few days, everyone has treated him very well, and no one has ever made fun of him.

In fact, these people were also puzzled. They heard that Zhang Shu was not good at this or that. They didn't expect to get along with him, but they found that he was not so unbearable.

Started building the wall this afternoon.The wall next to it was a bit old, the bricks above were covered with slippery moss, and the sunny place was covered with weeds.

Manager Mo said that these are to be torn down and redone, and those bricks are also not needed.

These villagers are very greedy, be good!If you don't want this good green brick, don't you want it?You must know that if you go to a brick kiln to buy it, you will have to pay two cents a piece!Among them, except for Zhang Shu's family who lived in a green brick house, the others were either built of yellow mud or stone houses, which looked like no one.

If these blue bricks were transported back, not to mention too many, a room could still be built.But they also know that these rich people's things would rather be lost than given to them. What's more, even if they were given to them, what would they take back?

Pushing the wall is very fast. Ten people each carried a tool and slammed it. It took only one afternoon to tear down the long wall. The bricks were scattered and piled up together. Faithfully guard the yard.

Manager Mo came to see it. Seeing that the sun was still high, he asked them to carry these bricks in baskets to a street outside and dump them. Some people lived there and would pick them up.

Zhang Shu muttered and wanted to speak, but he swallowed it after a long while without opening his mouth, but his expression was still a little tangled.

Manager Mo saw it, and he always felt that this young man was different from others, so he waved and called him over.

Zhang Shu was a little startled, he didn't know what the manager told him to do.But he has learned to fake it now, at least not to show this stupid expression on his face.

"Young man, did you want to say something just now?" Moren was very polite to him.

"Uh," Zhang Shu wanted to say no, but a voice in his heart shouted, telling him not to hide everything, and only when you say it will others know what you are thinking?

"I think... I don't think these bricks need to be thrown away." He blushed and said it.

Moren was a little disappointed. It seemed that this young man was no different from those thrifty country folks.Can these bricks still be used to build walls?It's all rotten.

"Although these bricks cannot be used to build walls, they can be used to build flower beds."

"Flower bed?" Mo Ren asked.

"Yeah, we usually plant flowers here and there. They look beautiful, but when people walk in them, they are easily disturbed by the snakes, insects, rats and ants hidden in them. And the ones that are usually watered and fertilized are also easy to sprinkle. On the way, when the elders and wives come to play, they will not be happy."

"A flower bed is actually to use broken bricks to encircle and divide these fields into several pieces, and keep them inside. It will not delay watering and fertilization, and it will also prevent the bugs inside from crawling onto the road."

Zhang Shu introduced the benefits of the flower bed one by one. Mo Ren's face was calm, but he nodded in his heart. In this way, not only the garden looks neater and more beautiful, but also the broken bricks can be used to the maximum extent so as not to be wasted. , it's a clever idea.

"In that case, you don't need to carry the bricks out. Everyone picks them together, and put the ones that are intact and the ones that are broken."

After giving the order, Moren left. He had to talk to the master about it.After he left, others surrounded him.

"You guys can do it! I'm a little scared talking to Manager Mo, but what you said makes a lot of sense! And it saves us a lot of energy, it's really good!"

Everyone didn't have any idea about the flower bed he proposed, but they were very clear about their own interests. It was much easier to pick bricks than to carry them!

In the rest of the time, everyone worked together and quickly cleaned out the bricks. There were more than 100 bricks intact, which saved more than 200 pennies!

The next day, Mo Ren picked two people to buy bricks with him, and he deliberately picked Lai Wang and Zhang Shu.

"Can you count?" he asked.

"Yes!" the two said in unison.

"Can you settle accounts?" Mo Ren asked again.

"Yes!" Only Zhang Shu answered this time.It's not that Laiwang can't do it, but he often makes mistakes, and his speed is very slow. If he is asked to settle accounts, he might as well move bricks!

Mo Ren nodded, thinking: I knew you would!

The brick kiln was on a slope outside the city, and the two of them enjoyed a blessing with Mo Ren, and they went there by carriage.There are still young men driving two ox carts behind.

The owner of the brick kiln has been waiting at the door for a long time. It is their wish to do business with someone like the Mo family.

"Mr. Mo, you are here. The bricks you asked for are all piled up there. Look..."

"Oh, no rush. I brought two people to help, and they will be responsible for counting and loading later."

Drive the ox cart into the gate of the brick kiln, where the blue bricks are stacked neatly, Mo Ren pointed to the pile, and asked Laiwang to count the quantity.

When Laiwang passed by, he began counting carefully one by one. After counting for a long time, he suddenly forgot where he was counting, because the number had already reached more than 400.No way, he had to start counting again.

"Zhang Shu, you should also count and see if there is any difference in the numbers." Moren asked Zhang Shu to count again.

The owner of the brick kiln next to him wanted to speak, but held back. How dare they cut corners?This big family is serious in doing things.Thinking of this, he became solemn again.

Zhang Shu observed and found that these bricks were neatly stacked together by the staff. There were 12 bricks in each row, and 20 yuan was placed in each brick. Yuan.

He was calculating in his mind, and unconsciously dragged his feet on the ground. Looking at the crooked earthworm-like symbol on the ground, Mo Ren felt very puzzled.

After a while, Zhang Shu figured it out. He looked down at the vertical structure on the ground and found that the answer was 980 yuan.This method is really easy to use, his daughter-in-law is worthy of being enlightened by the gods.

He told Moren that the total was 980 yuan.

Mo Ren was taken aback, he didn't even pass, could he tell with his eyes alone?It is indeed 980 yuan, that's all he ordered.

"How much is the price?" If he had an abacus, he could figure it out quickly.

Zhang Shu pondered for a while, and made a vertical formation on the ground. "The price is 960 Wen."

scare!This chapter tree really has two tricks!Knowing the method of mental arithmetic, this is a trick not secretly taught by those accountants!The way he looked at him changed again.

"What about the silver price?" He looked happy, apparently taking pleasure in it.

"Uh, how much is the price of silver now? My family doesn't exchange silver." He scratched his head. The price of silver changes every so often, and his family doesn't need silver yet.

"Hahaha," Mo Ren laughed, this young man is quite interesting, "Right now one tael of silver is exchanged for 760 Wen, and the price of silver has dropped a bit recently."

Zhang Shu quickly calculated, "About twenty-five cents and seven cents silver."
