Although Shen Lie was defeated, he admired in his heart.
This time it was really an eye-opener. As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. He finally saw the level of accountants in this era.
The profession of Mr. Accountant can leave a mark in history, so he is certainly not someone who takes it easy.
The scholars who choose to be accountants are all smart scholars. These people have given up on the imperial examination early and have given up on the single-plank bridge of taking the imperial examination.
Choosing to deal with the abacus and ledgers every day, receiving a high salary, and living a leisurely life is a way out.
And in terms of addition and subtraction, abacus is indeed unique. Even he, who has been proficient in speed arithmetic and mental arithmetic since childhood, cannot compare with him.
Although Shen Lie tried his best, he was still completely defeated.
Shen Lie was naturally not someone who couldn't afford to lose, so he slowly stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Sanzhi: "I admire you."
Liu Sanzhi still had that cold and arrogant look. He nodded and rubbed the three fingers that he was proud of. His expression was extremely arrogant.
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu, who was sitting between the two as the referee, was happy.
Seeing Shen Lie deflated.
Miss Zhang was like a happy little girl. She suddenly stood up and ran to Shen Lie, showing a flower-like smile.
She looked at Shen Lie, who had a somewhat dark face, and smiled brightly. She even clapped her hands and shouted sweetly: "Haha...haha!"
How can I still have the dignity of a prime minister's daughter at this moment?
Miss Zhang was seen happily circling Shen Lie several times, her brows were filled with excitement, her eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile, and her bright and pretty face turned into a flower.
Even a pair of hidden pear dimples laughed out loud.
Shen Lie's face darkened, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, so he could only whisper: "Master, please be more solemn."
It's okay if he doesn't say it.
Say it this way.
Zhang Jingxiu became even more energetic. She pointed at Shen Lie's nose with her slender fingers, her smile was trembling, and her happy expression seemed to say...
Your boy has this day too!
"You know there are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains!"
Faced with Zhang Jingxiu’s teasing.
Shen Lie's old face turned slightly red and he simply started to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Tian Hong and Zhang Kui on the side also started laughing naively, but Yun'er pouted her little mouth, looking unhappy and angry, which was very cute.
As Shen Lie lowered his posture, the atmosphere was originally quite harmonious.
But at this moment.
Liu Sanzhi, who won the competition, suddenly gave a lesson in a carefree manner: "The so-called arithmetic is just a trivial skill. Don't let this little brother go astray."
With a proud look on his face, Liu Sanzhi faced the one hundred taels of silver notes handed over by Zhang Jingxiu. He shied away for a few words before accepting it generously.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but heat up.
One hundred taels!
There is an air of envy and jealousy in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Sanzhi, who had won a great victory, crossed his legs with the help of the old god, and started to teach him a lesson with a pointing look.
"How old is Mr. Liu? It's not an exaggeration to call you junior... I think you are quite smart as a junior. If you are interested in arithmetic, you might as well join Mr. Liu's disciple and start on the right path as soon as possible."
That's it.
Shen Lie was a little reluctant. This person looked elegant and humble, but his words were a bit arrogant, arrogant, and he wanted to be a teacher.
Is modern arithmetic just a piece of cake? It's so awkward to say that you have to change your ways and become his disciple.
With a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, Shen Lie suppressed the smile on his face and said calmly: "What you said is an exaggeration."
Liu Sanzhi was a little unhappy when he heard this, and the smile on his face became cold.
So in an instant.
There was just a bit of tension between the two of them.
At this time, Tian Hong and Zhang Kui who were standing aside hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and then Liu Sanzhi stood up unhurriedly and glanced at Shen Lie from the corner of his eye.
He put the golden abacus in his arms and walked out of the store with square steps.
This expression made Shen Lie even more unhappy. His face darkened and he said coldly: "Since Your Excellency is so conceited, why not... how about you and I have another fight?"
The air became quiet again.
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Sanzhi turned around and looked at Shen Lie intently, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."
When Tian Hong and Zhang Kui saw this situation, they knew that they were both a little drunk, so they looked at each other helplessly and hurriedly stood aside.
Not long after.
Shen Lie and Liu Sanzhi sat at both ends of the table again. Under the gaze of everyone, they both looked a little bit excited.
In silence.
Liu Sanzhi took out the golden abacus again and placed it on the table. He raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly: "Since it is a gambling battle, there should be a reward."
As he spoke, he took out a one hundred tael silver note from his sleeve, spread it out, then took out another one hundred tael silver note, and placed the two silver notes together in front of him.
Erlang raised his legs again and waited quietly for Shen Lie's reply.
Everyone looked at the two 100-tael silver notes and became a little nervous. Even Zhang Jingxiu was startled and secretly stuck out his tongue, knowing that she had gotten into trouble.
She didn't dare to say anything, but she couldn't help looking at Shen Lie with her bright eyes wide open, as if there was some expectation in her bright eyes.
Under the spotlight.
Shen Lie said coldly: "A gentleman's word is that a horse is hard to catch. Yun'er is here to get the silver."
Although Yun'er was a little reluctant, she still walked into the counter obediently.
She gritted her teeth, took out the two hundred taels of silver notes from the bottom of the box from the secret compartment, and handed them over with her white and tender hands.
The stakes are high now!
Tian Hong persuaded in a low voice from the side: "Why bother? Why bother?"
Two hundred taels is not a small amount. Considering the meager profit of Shen Lie's shop, if he loses, it will be equivalent to several months of wasted work.
Seeing the two of them fighting like cocks, Zhang Jingxiu lost all his fun, looked at Liu Sanzhi and then at Shen Lie, and then softly persuaded.
"Shen Lie, you..."
But Shen Lie ignored her and still said calmly: "How about we do multiplication and division?"
If you can't compare with addition and subtraction, then you have to use multiplication and division.
Liu Sanzhi was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and still said proudly: "It's up to you!"
Zhang Jingxiu was stunned, and looked at Shen Lie's suddenly domineering face. He was stunned, and then wrinkled his cute little nose, not daring to say anything more.
Shen Lie remained calm at this time, picked up a wet rag, wiped off the writing on the board, and slowly wrote a two-digit multiplication.
"Twenty-two times thirty-three, please!"
The words just fell.
Liu Sanzhi started doing calculations on the abacus, and Shen Lie also put down his pen, unhurriedly unfolding the formulas on the small blackboard.
Not long after.
The two of them calculated the results separately, but the speed was only slightly different. It was almost impossible to tell the difference between speed and speed.
There was no winner in this round, so Shen Lie didn't say much and slowly wrote down a three-digit multiplication with charcoal. This time it was two hundred and twenty-two, multiplied by three hundred and thirty-three.
As Liu Bai leisurely laid out the vertical strokes, he counted them stroke by stroke.
Liu's three fingers also made the abacus fly up, and kept chanting the formula in his mouth. The multiplication formula of the abacus is nothing more than the multiplication table.
But this time Shen Lie won. When the charcoal pen wrote the calculation results on the small blackboard, Liu Sanzhi was already sweating.
Shen Lie was not in a hurry.
After Liu finished the calculation with his three fingers, he picked up a wet rag and wiped off the calculation, and then wrote down two four-digit multiplications.
Two thousand two hundred and twenty-two, times three thousand three hundred and thirty-three.
