006 Tomorrow is a genius

006 I'm actually a genius

The bet was decided, and the second uncle did not express his objection. Carrie Lam thought about it and asked someone to go back to the house to let the second housekeeper go.

For fairness, neither Lu Ting nor Xiao Zhi is suitable for verification. The Second Housekeeper has been in the account room for more than 20 years and is a famous expert in Ming Sect. It is definitely correct to ask him to check it.

Just as the servant was about to leave, Lu Ting suddenly said, "Old lady, there is no need to be such a trouble."

"Oh, does a little husband have a better way?" Carrie Lam asked with a smile.

Zheng Yanzhi rolled her eyes to Lu Ting and said with a sneer: "I want to admit defeat in advance, but it's too late. I have to fulfill the bet to admit defeat."

"Who said I want to admit defeat?" Lu Ting said calmly: "It is said that strong generals are not weak soldiers. Miss Xiaozhi has gained the trust of the old lady. It must be a good player. I believe that Miss Xiaozhi's ability is not very likely to make mistakes. There are errors. It is mostly because of mistakes or misses when recording the account. Miss Xiaozhi said just now that the error is only eleven s. If I remember correctly, the eleven s are not often seen, and the most likely mistakes are to miss the account on the seventh day of the lunar month. A guest broke a large orchid bowl and paid eleven s. Erwang, the kitchen also broke one. The account holder marked the four words "Erwang and One" at the back."

Is this still the case?

Zheng Yanzhi picked up the account book in disbelief and turned to the page on the seventh day of the third month. When she looked, her face changed suddenly. There were indeed four words "Erwang and One". At that time, she thought she was not concerned about the mark and did not count the big orchid bowl that the friend Erwang broke. If the loss of eleven cents was included, the profit in March should be subtracted from eleven cents, which means that the thirty-eight silos of 557 cents written by Lu Ting was correct.

In an instant, Zheng Yanzhi's face changed. She looked at Lu Ting as if she was looking at a weirdo: Who is this? Kelaiju has so much income and expenditure in a month, he doesn't even need to sign and make it. He can complete it with his heart. The speed is faster than himself and is accurate than himself. Even if he misses it, he pointed out that there is really a genius in the world who can never forget everything?

"You...how did you do it?" Zheng Yanzhi asked in surprise after coming back to her senses.

I wanted to ask Lu Ting if he was peeking at the account book, but I thought that my aunt would definitely not help outsiders cheat her. Besides, the account book was counted once a year, but her own skilled company took the initiative to take stock of it in advance. It was still wrong, even if Lu Ting wanted to peek at it, it couldn't see it. No matter what, it was too surprising.

Really right?

Everyone present was surprised and stunned. Just now, everyone thought that Lu Ting was writing randomly and making bets was also a fat man, and they all looked at it as a joke. Now that Zheng Yanzhi said such words, it means that she knew she was wrong. There was really someone who didn’t need to sign or beta, and could make a record with heart. When did such a genius in Suzhou appear in such a clear schema?

The second uncle stared at the boss with his old eyes, as if he had known his nephew for the first time.

Lu Ting did not reply to Zheng Yanzhi's question and asked, "Miss Xiaozhi means that my number is fine, which means I won the bet? Do you want to review it?"

"No need, it's because I missed it." Zheng Yanzhi said simply: "You haven't said how to do it yet?"

"It's not difficult to do this, but..." Lu Ting said halfway, deliberately coughing and said slowly: "Oh, your throat is a bit dry. It would be great if there was a cup of fragrant tea to moisten your throat."

It’s just that the addition and subtraction are not large, and mental arithmetic is not difficult. As for the place where the “eleven articles” is going, Lu Ting was cautious from the beginning and did not let go of every word. He worked as a hawker for so many years in his previous life and was the best at looking at people’s face. Carrie Lam obviously didn’t have much interest in herself and Chen Hai. He just took the show for face and guessed that she would make things difficult during the test. He was always very careful. He was an old book dealer in his previous life, and he could remember so many different books, so he could find out what the customers wanted quickly. This account book is really a pediatrician.

Zheng Yanzhi's expression was stagnant, and she could not hear the implicit sound of Lu Ting. Looking at Lu Ting's calm look, she didn't know what to do for a moment. She was a famous lady from Zheng's family in Xingyang. She poured tea and handed water to a strange man. Where did she put her face?

Apart from the elders at home, I have never poured tea for outsiders.

Even when I was in the guest's residence, my aunt was pouring tea for the director Chen Xun and Lu Li. They didn't say anything, and they thought that my aunt looked at them differently, but they didn't expect that the little maid in their eyes was the lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"Quangui, make tea, and use treasures to collect purple bamboo tea for the Lu family to taste it." Seeing that his niece was embarrassed, Carrie Lam immediately spoke up to help her.

The lady from Zheng's family in Xingyang served a strange man and passed it to the Hui tribe, but she didn't even complain about her.

"Mrs. Xie, but I am not thirsty now, so I don't have to waste such good tea." Lu Ting didn't look at Zheng Yanzhi and hurriedly saluted Carrie Lam.

It was obviously a strife and he was quite angry. Carrie Lam looked at Lu Ting, then looked at her little niece with a tangled face. She was so big that she had to turn her head and say to her second uncle: "Lu Lang, look..."

Before his second uncle could speak, Zheng Yanzhi bit her red lips lightly and stomped her feet and said, "I'm willing to accept the loss of the bet. The little woman will make tea myself now, okay."

Isn't it just to drink tea? I just pour it to you. Although I am a little girl, I am also a little girl who believes in words. Zheng Yanzhi secretly comforted herself: Just think of sympathy for him. When I see a beggar who is about to starve to death on the street, I will give some money and food, and just think that he is about to die of thirst to save him. Yes, I am doing good deeds and accumulating virtues.

When Carrie Lam saw her little niece making tea angrily, she didn't know what to say for a moment. She wanted to speak but was afraid of revealing her true identity, so she finally gave up.

Forget it, the little girl is too proud. Someone slapped her spirit and let her know that there is a heaven outside of heaven and there is a person outside of her.

"Director Chen Xun, this... how can you be so embarrassed? I'll make you spend money." The second uncle took Director Chen Xun's hand and said embarrassedly.

They were all ready to get this knife, but they didn't expect that Lu Ting gave him a huge surprise. He actually won the bet that seemed to be without any chance of winning. The second uncle came to his senses and immediately remembered his bet with Director Chen Xun. He said he was embarrassed and his old face had already been happy.

Director Chen Xun's old face thrust, and shook off his second uncle's hand with disgust: "I will do my best to say anything, isn't it just a drink? Please, please don't hold hands, it's awkward."

An old man held his hand, and Director Chen Xun was so awkward that he couldn't say, and he got goosebumps.

"Yes, yes, Chen Xun used to touching the concubine's little white hand. Xiao Lao's old hand can't touch it, understand, understand." The second uncle was annoyed when he was criticized and said with a smile.

He mentioned his concubine again. Director Chen, who was already depressed, almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. If it weren't for Carrie Lam here, Director Chen would have wanted to push his second uncle down and use his feet to stomp his stinky mouth a hundred times.

Before he could finish complaining, the second uncle on the side cursed loudly: "Quangui, why are you still worried about here? I didn't hear that Director Chen wanted to set up a mat. The two bear paws were stewed, and the whole roasted lamb, and the six largest silver swordfish were there. What else was better to watch. If you make less, you look down on Director Chen. Let the chef sell his strength. Your boss will eat here later."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Lu, you must have done it properly. By the way, is this wine the old rule?"

"What old rules? Don't go to Green Ant Wine. You are hitting Director Chen Xun's face. Director Chen Xun is a well-known person. Can you drink this wine when you hold a banquet? If you want to go, you can get the best Western Regions wine. Prepare two jars. The old man takes it home and drink it slowly. Go."

Quan Gui responded, but did not leave immediately. He turned his head and looked at Director Chen Xun, after all, he was the one who paid.

Director Chen covered his face with one hand and said a little reluctantly: "What should I look at? Go and do what Lu Li said."

The Tiansheshu surnamed Lu is shameless. He has to take this old face. He just wanted to have a bear's paw and roast the whole lamb. He can't go back on his word and make the joke of the surname Lu, and he can't be embarrassed in front of Carrie Lam. But as soon as he finished speaking, Director Chen's heart twitched. After this meal, he tightened his belt for at least two months.

It's a weirdo. The Lu family's ignorant prodigal son was a good player. This time he was really out of sight.

"Drinking tea" Zheng Yanzhi made the tea, and after pouring a cup of tea for Lu Ting with expressionless face, she said coldly.

Isn’t it just to drink tea? I’ll give it to you. Zheng Yanzhi deliberately didn’t add salt and vinegar to the tea. The color of the tea seems good, but in fact it’s bitter and astringent. She wants to see how Lu Ting can swallow it.

Lu Ting blew the teacup gently and took a sip. The tea had a hint of astringent flavor, but it was astringent and sweet, nodded and said, "Good tea, I didn't expect that Miss Xiaozhi is a master of tea ceremony. This is the best tea I have ever drunk."

Tea farmers in the early Tang Dynasty had not yet learned the technique of stir-frying tea fermentation. The tea had a bitter taste. In order to cover up the taste, when making tea, they added salt, vinegar, honey, tangerine peel, etc. according to their personal preferences. Lu Ting was really unacceptable to drinking it. Zheng Yanzhi deliberately added nothing, but it was more suitable for her appetite.

He deliberately made fun of himself, this prodigal son, what is the best tea to drink, is to laugh at his inferior skills. Zheng Yanzhi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, now is not a time to bicker, so she has to ask him how he quickly calculated the skills.

Other girls like needlework, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zheng Yanzhi is exceptional. She is very interested in Mingshu since she was a child, especially after solving a problem of Mingshu, the satisfaction made her unable to stop. Zheng Yanzhi is also very talented in Mingshu. Not to mention her peers, even many older Mingshu masters are not her opponents. Suddenly, a master of Lu Ting appeared, which immediately aroused interest.

This Dengtu prodigal son named Lu Ting has a bad character and looks annoying, but his mental arithmetic ability is really good. He seems to have a set of his own skills. Learning to rub rub with such a person can improve himself, otherwise Zheng Yanzhi would have turned around and left long ago.

"The tea is poured, now tell me, how did you do it?" Zheng Yanzhi said with a deep face.

Lu Ting put down the teacup and said sincerely: "A ordinary person can calculate such a simple account book. It is not difficult for me to calculate a genius here."

"Ming is a genius? What a big tone." Zheng Yanzhi laughed in anger by Lu Ting. She was considered a proud person, but she didn't expect that Lu Ting was even more proud than herself.

"Miss Xiaozhi doesn't seem to believe it?"

"Don't believe it"

Lu Ting shrugged and said, "There is nothing to do. It's no good for you to believe me, and it doesn't affect me if you don't believe me."

The purpose is enough. When the second uncle talked about the bet, Zheng Lin did not object. He should have acquiesced. In other words, the position of the guest house accounting was that he had no choice but to leave. With a job, he would have income. There was no need to be afraid of being hungry. Besides, it would be good to be able to hold Zheng Lin's thighs. Behind her was the Zheng family of Xingyang, which is of seven clans and five surnames.

So many famous scholars and scholars reduced their identities to famous families or wealthy families as teachers, not just for the sake of that little practice, but for the hope that one day they would get help from these people when they entered the officialdom. Not to mention anything else, they would save a lot of effort in a letter of recommendation.
