Xu Yue took a homemade abacus and taught Junmei step by step how to use this new tool to calculate.
The family is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people, the expenses are getting bigger and bigger, and the accounts are becoming more and more complicated. Even if Xu Yue helps to bear the bulk of the accounts, Junmei can't handle the remaining small accounts.
Already.
However, thinking that the little girl could achieve this step when she was only in the first grade of elementary school, Xu Yue couldn't help but reflect on whether she was a black-hearted teacher who was trying to undermine the students' success.
But after several months of investigation, it turns out that Junmei really likes mathematics and arithmetic, and is a gifted person. It’s not that she is trying to encourage others.
After confirming this, Xu Yue made the abacus and decided to take Junmei's mathematics teaching further.
The students are smart and eager to learn, and being a teacher gives you a sense of accomplishment. After teaching for a week, Junmei has already mastered the skills.
However, the calculated balance of the family really made Xu Yue's head hurt.
"The food at home is only enough for three days. My dear, why don't we make the food thinner these days?" Jun Mei asked tentatively, holding a charcoal pencil.
Xu Yue waved her hand, "It's impossible. Training consumes energy. Lu Meng and the others don't have enough to eat."
"Then why don't we reduce the supply of meat first? They eat meat too fiercely. If you continue to eat like this, your family will not be supporting your tribe. It is simply supporting your ancestors."
Thinking about people like Lu Meng, each of whom only had two taels of meat per day, Junmei's heart ached for her sisters.
Xu Yue looked up at the direction of the Uburg gate, "Daddy, daddy, when will you send the money and food over..."
God seemed to have heard the girl's expectations. Just when the food could only last for the last day, Wang had already pulled out the team and was preparing to take them out to "practice" their skills and support themselves.
Ox carts drove in from outside the Wubao gate, and the long motorcade extended directly from the gate to the front of Xu's house.
Xu Yue knew immediately that her father's affairs were settled and the family would have enough food!
No, to be precise, he became rich overnight!
After excluding the ready-made grain and cloth, there were still five boxes of gold cakes.
When the five boxes were opened in front of the mother and son, golden light shone, and the four of them took a breath.
Then, Wang laughed and said, "Now we can have our own Wubao!"
"Young lady, you are awesome~" Xu Erniang hugged her sister's waist and spun her around in circles.
Xu Yue couldn't help but laugh too. As expected, rich people still make money easily.
"I want an alchemy room!" Xu Erniang shouted.
Xu Yue agreed, "Both are fine."
"Oh, my dear sister, I love you so much!" Xu Erniang was so excited that she hugged Xu Yue and kissed her.
Xu Yue pushed her crazy sister away in disgust, came to the wooden box filled with gold cakes, and counted on her fingers:
"With this money, we can finally add more people. Our tofu shop, my sister's laboratory, and my grandma's tool room are all ready to be built."
"By the way, the most important thing is Uncle Dayou's arsenal. We can have our own armed forces..."
There are many, many things that are not available in this era, but can improve productivity, and there is hope that they will be available.
Listening to Xu Yue doing calculations with her little fingers, the remaining three people looked at each other and felt that they were full of energy and wished they could build the solid castle that Xu Yue imagined right now.
.......
With the money in hand, Wang started to select a location for his new home.
She has given Gongsun Yan free training for two months, which is quite interesting.
Gongsun Yan also knew that such talents could not stay in his castle forever. Seeing that the Xu family wanted to go it alone, he no longer tried to force him to stay.
And relying on his own network, he found a ready-made Zhuangzi for the Xu family near the county seat, and used some means to let Wang successfully buy the Zhuangzi.
Of course, compared with Gongsun's Wubao, Zhuangzi is still far behind. It only has 500 acres of fertile land, plus three hills and an old house with three entrances.
But it is more than enough to accommodate the current population of the Xu family.
As soon as the autumn harvest was over and the grain in the fields was no longer involved, Wang led Lu Meng and others to move into Zhuangzi first and build infrastructure.
In this regard, Wang is a professional, Xu Yue only needs to be responsible for paying.
Such as basic fortifications, walls, and trenches.
There are also houses, dormitories, stables, arsenals, and breeding farms.
And the experimental field that Xu Yue cherishes.
Speaking of the experimental field, Xu Yue thought of her stingy technology tree.
She finally filled up the energy fruit, her hair was almost bald at such a young age, she just wanted some potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton, watermelon and the like.
It turned out that the technology tree was stingy and only gave her a cup of freshly squeezed watermelon juice, a bag of potato chips, and a stick of cotton.
Xu Yueda was speechless. Does she need this food and drink?
Although it is quite delicious, what she wants is to be fed and clothed in the future! Do you understand the technology tree?
Who knows how she carefully sifted out a single intact watermelon seed in a glass of watermelon juice.
And that cotton was so precious that she had to find a glass cover to protect it, peel it seed by seed, and then carefully breed it when the time came next year.
As for the bag of potato chips, my brother and sister snatched it away and even licked the plastic packaging clean.
Looking at the plastic packaging that clearly reflected her face, Xu Yue began to wonder whether her brothers and sisters were once the zombie king and the pope.
How could such a big man be so hungry and thirsty!
At least leave a piece for her!
"Why, haven't you eaten yet?" Xu Erniang asked in a funny tone with an expression of "No, no, no, no".
Xu Dalang also belatedly asked anxiously: "Isn't this the leftovers from my sister's meal?"
Xu Yue: "..."
Well, she has a lot of villains, so she doesn't care about them anymore.
Who told us to eat it before?
Xu Dalang felt deeply guilty when he learned that his sister had not eaten a piece. Together with Xu Erniang, who was about to reflect, they went up the mountain to catch a colorful sparrow for Xu Yue and made a specimen for her.
Xu Yue held the lifelike sparrow specimen written by her sister, with mixed emotions. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should feel sorry for the innocent sparrow, or for having two brothers and sisters with such wonderful brains.
But amid the commotion, time flies by.
After an autumn rain, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the whole family put on warmer cashmere underwear.
Before moving, Xu Yue and her sister collected wool again.
This time not only did we collect all the wool in Wubao, but we also collected the wool from people with sheep around the county.
Several more spinning machines were made, and after Lu Meng and others completed their daily training, they would be recruited by Xu Erniang to become strong men.
A group of muscular men, all staying in the yard carefully twisting wool, the style of the painting is weird and funny.
Lu Meng and others said that it is impossible to resist. The strange hiccup medicine in the hands of the second lady can make you want to die.
Only by being obedient can you have a way to survive.
