When Shen Lie looked as usual, he picked up the wet rag unhurriedly, wiped off the arithmetic formulas on the small blackboard, and wrote down the multiplication of two four-digit numbers.
Liu Yizhi was already a little panicked. As the account manager of Taishi Mansion, he had been a dominant accountant in the accounting profession for more than 20 years.
First time.
Under the spotlight, Liu Yizhi felt tremendous pressure. His three fingers, which were usually as steady as a rock and never made mistakes, twitched slightly.
But Shen Lie still looked calm and leisurely used a charcoal pen to list the vertical patterns, and then patiently calculated them stroke by stroke.
After all, Shen Lie attended many speed calculation classes when he was a child. Shen Lie has special calculation skills for four-digit multiplication.
Time passed minute by minute.
Liu Sanzhi peeked at the small blackboard in front of Shen Lie with the corner of his eye. He saw that the wonderful vertical patterns on the small blackboard were getting longer and longer, and the results were about to be obtained.
He was panicking again, Liu Sanzhi couldn't keep up at all, and while fiddling with the abacus beads, he kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves.
This time, Shen Lie didn't wait for him. He just finished calculating the four-digit multiplication and put aside the small blackboard filled with Arabic numerals.
Shen Lie took the time to pick up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of herbal tea.
The people on the sidelines were stunned. Although they didn’t understand abacus or Tianfang algorithm, they could only judge from their expressions...
Shen Lie must have won this round.
Urgent.
Shen Lie finished a cup of tea leisurely, then picked up the old rag, wiped off the extremely mysterious arithmetic formula, and as expected, wrote down a five-digit multiplication question.
By this time, Shen Lie was already confident and could calculate more calmly and write more steadily...
Liu Sanzhi could no longer count because when two five-digit numbers were multiplied, his three fingers no longer obeyed and his mind went blank.
After a while.
Liu Sanzhi suddenly woke up and found that at this time, his abacus beads were no longer enough. The abacus beads made of pure gold looked so ironic.
For a moment, in the lobby of the small shop, there was only the soft sound of charcoal pens rubbing against the wooden board, and everyone's eyes fell on the simple blackboard.
It became silent again.
After Shen Lie finished his calculations, he casually put the wooden board on the table with a soft sound. Liu's three fingers were covered with sweat and the corners of his mouth were twitching uncontrollably.
The air seemed to be stagnant.
Deathly silence.
The competition was over, but Zhang Jingxiu, Tian Hong, Zhang Kui, Yun'er and others were still staring blankly at the densely packed numbers on the small blackboard.
I was so shocked that I was speechless for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, but noisy footsteps came from outside the door.
A Jin Yiwei under Tian Hong came over in a hurry.
Jin Yiwei walked into the store and looked at this scene in surprise, then walked quickly to Tian Hong and whispered: "Sir..."
As Tian Hong kept nodding.
The two people's whispers seemed to wake everyone up from a strange dream.
At this time, Shen Lie said calmly: "Yun'er, collect the money."
Yun'er was suddenly reminded and quickly responded: "Oh!"
Then she ran over in a hurry, stretched out her delicate hands with a smile, took away the two hundred taels of silver notes in front of Liu Sanzhi, and took away the two hundred taels in front of Shen Lie.
Then Yun'er stumbled into the counter again, hid four large one hundred tael silver notes, and locked them. Her pretty little face had already turned into a flower with a smile.
Make a small profit of two hundred taels and become rich!
After seeing Yun'er put away the banknotes, Shen Lie, who had won a great victory, stood up, straightened his clothes, clasped his fists towards Liu Sanzhi who was sweating profusely and said, "I accept."
How did that sentence come about?
Knowledge is wealth and can even be monetized.
At this time, Shen Lie sincerely thanked his mother for forcing him to attend various cram schools when he was young.
Looking at Liu Sanzhi's face, the accountant of the Grand Master's Mansion seemed to have been struck by lightning. His whole body was stiff and his face was twitching.
The elegant face turned blue and white for a while, and finally turned purple. It was obvious that this defeat had greatly bruised his self-esteem, and he even began to doubt his life.
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Sanzhi slowly stood up, grabbed the golden abacus that never left his body, and then hurried away with his head lowered.
As Liu Sanzhi left in shame and anger, the atmosphere in the shop was a bit strange at the moment.
Zhang Kui opened his mouth wide and looked dull. Tian Hong looked at Shen Lie with gleaming eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.
Zhang Jingxiu was anxious and embarrassed, so he hurriedly chased after him: "Uncle Three Fingers, Uncle Three Fingers!"
Wait until she chases after him eagerly.
Shen Lie remained calm and said to the crowd crowding at the door of the kitchen to watch the excitement: "Go and get busy."
Everyone in the store woke up as if from a dream. They looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost noon. They hurriedly left and ran to the back kitchen to get busy.
Not long after, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen again.
In chaos.
Tian Hong walked over with square steps, looked at Shen Lie up and down, as if he saw a stranger, and then gave a thumbs up.
Tian Hong was already convinced and praised: "Brother Shen is a great talent!"
It was obvious that his compliment was sincere.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said humbly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Very happy.
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu slowly walked over from outside again. It seemed that he had not caught up with Liu Sanzhi, and he looked a little disappointed.
Look up.
Miss Zhang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she looked at the energetic Shen Lie. She wanted to kill Shen Lie's arrogance, but she didn't expect the ending to be so magical.
However, Shen Lie turned defeat into victory with his arithmetic skills. This reversal happened so suddenly that Zhang Jing Xiufang felt inexplicably panicked.
She secretly looked at Shen Lie's calm expression and said awkwardly: "Shen Lie, you... aren't you really annoyed?"
Shen Lie was angry that she was acting willfully, so he turned his cold face away, deliberately not looking at her, and snorted lightly from his nostrils.
"Ah!"
Miss Zhang was stunned again, embarrassed and embarrassed.
The atmosphere became awkward again.
In embarrassment, Tian Hong hurriedly bowed to her and resigned knowingly: "I have some important things to do, so I'll take my leave. I'll take my leave."
As Tian Hong walked out of the store, only Shen Lie and Zhang Jingxiu were left in the hall, as well as Yun'er who was eagerly counting money at the counter.
Zhang Jingxiu looked at Shen Lie first, but Shen Lie ignored her. She was a little helpless, so she had no choice but to walk towards Yun'er with gentle steps.
But Yun'er just bowed politely and called out softly: "Big shopkeeper."
Then Yun'er lowered her head and continued to settle accounts.
The eldest lady of the Zhang family was a little helpless, and walked slowly to Shen Lie, and said in a low voice like a gnat, "I'm sorry."
She doesn't look like a prime minister's daughter, she looks like a little girl who has done something wrong.
The waves in those bright eyes were flowing, and a hazy mist was rising. They were really bright and unparalleled yet pitiful.
Shen Lie looked at her bright eyes, white teeth, and cute look that was a little nervous. He felt angry and funny for a moment, and finally couldn't help but stretch out his hand...
He pinched her delicate pink cheeks.
Shen Lie regretted it as soon as he reached out his hand, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was bad. In this era where men and women are not close to each other, this behavior is really too abrupt.
