"Miss! You see! There are a lot of glass beads here, so round and beautiful! Hey? Why are they skewered with sticks and placed in broken wood frames? ”

Xiao Ai was bored and looked behind the young lady, Xiao Han's living room is actually very simple, it can even be described as simple, empty, only the simplest tables and chairs, there is no famous painting, there are not a few ornaments, so simple that even some middle-class families can't compare, I was trying to persuade Miss to go back to sitting, but my eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of something shining in the window, and when I walked over to take a look, I saw that a very round glass bead was embedded in a rectangular wooden frame, and the sunlight through the window was crystal clear.

"Where are the glass beads?" Xue Pan on the side heard this, and gently put down the broken porcelain bottle in his hand, this porcelain bottle is worth the most money, and it is simply a shame to put it here!

also glanced at the position of Xiao Ai's finger curiously, and sure enough, he saw a touch of seven colors, and with a light sigh, he also went over to take a closer look.

Xiao Han always feels that women are like dragons, they naturally like crystal clear things, this has not changed much for thousands of years, and in the next generation, you still want to propose without a diamond ring?!

I don't know how a broken stone can be used as a testimony of love?!

It's still good now, the diamond is called the stone of other mountains, mainly used by porcelain and jade craftsmen, the word diamond is eternal has not yet been invented, so it can only be compared with a pile of sand, and the glass made by Xiao Han is the mainstream of this world.

Xiao Han hurriedly walked over, and when he hadn't entered the house yet, he saw Xue Pan and Xiao Ai fiddling around his glass abacus, and without knowing what to think, he suddenly stopped and quietly looked inside outside the door.

The set of glass abacus that Xue Pan is holding in his hand now was specially made by Xiao Da and given to Xiao Han.

I don't know how Xiao Da wears the holes, the round and jade glass beads are worn on the small wooden sticks, like handicrafts more than tools, when I arrived at Xiao Han, I thought it was quite good-looking, so I put it in the guest room.

And Xue Pan had never seen anyone make the glass like this, so he curiously flicked it with his fingers a few times, and asked Lao Cao next to him: "Master Bookkeeper, what is this, what's the use?" ”

Lao Cao, who was following on the side, heard this, and hurriedly said to Xue Pan: "I can't afford to be an adult, I can't afford to be an adult, Miss, you can call me Lao Cao, this, called the abacus, is invented by our Hou Ye, and the tools used to calculate accounts should have been made of wood, but those fools under his hands, they used Liuli to do it on their own, but the glass was too slippery, and after calculating, Liuli ran out of position, which was not practical, and it was put here by my Hou Ye......"

"Abacus?" Xue Pan didn't notice that Xiao Han was at the door, frowned, and asked Lao Cao: "Is it the same as arithmetic?" ”

"It's different, it's completely different!" Lao Cao smiled and took the abacus from Xue Pan's hand, held it in his arms, stroked it a few times, and put the abacus back in place, and then said to Xue Pan: "Please also ask Miss to come up with a question at will." ”

It may be that Lao Cao is very proud of his abacus, and he can't help but look a little complacent when he speaks, Xiao Ai saw it, couldn't help pouting, his eyes rolled, and quickly attached himself to Xue Pan's ear and said, "Miss, it's difficult!" Let him not calculate, see if he is still arrogant or not! ”

"Where are people arrogant?" Xue Pan glanced at Xiao Ai dissatisfied, but he also happened to have this meaning in his heart, lowered his head and thought about it in his heart, and then said softly:

"A mansion has a total of seven hundred and eighteen servants, a low-level servant has fifty copper plates per month, a total of 322 people, an intermediate servant, 108 copper plates per month, a total of 246 people, a senior servant, 268 copper plates per month, a total of 132 people, and the rest are stewards, and they have a consistent amount of money for a month, so may I ask, how much does this mansion have to spend on a month's regular money?

Xue Pan said, just listen to the thunderbolt of the master book of Cao in the glass beads, and when Xue Pan finished speaking, the master book of Cao also just finished dialing the last number, looked at the abacus in his hand, the master book of Cao raised his head and said to Xue Pan with a smile: "Miss Hui, a total of 96,044 copper plates!" ”

"Ho ......" Seeing that Lao Cao came up with an answer so quickly, Xiao Ai suddenly looked at him like a ghost, and after looking at it for a while, he quickly turned his head to look at Xue Pan, and said with difficulty: "Miss, is he talking nonsense?!" ”

Xue Pan's face was also a little pale at this time, staring at the abacus in Lao Cao's hand: "This is what it counts?" How can it be so fast! ”

"Back to Miss, I have been using this abacus for a short time, if I let my Hou Ye or Xiao Er calculate it, it will be much faster!"

"And ...... fast"

Xue Pan was really shocked at this moment, the scene in front of her simply subverted her cognition, as far as she knew, the most powerful shopkeeper in the family would take a long time to calculate this number, and it would take more than three times to be sure, now, just such a small wooden frame can beat an experienced old shopkeeper?

Just when Xue Pan and Xiao Ai were shocked, Xiao Han couldn't listen anymore, he touched his nose and walked in from the door, seeing Xue Pan and the others all turning their heads to look at themselves, they smiled awkwardly, and said, "Hehe, Xue Pan, you're early, don't look at me like that, Master Cao's book is also exaggerating, in terms of abacus, I really don't have to be better than him." ”

"But you invented it!"

"Pick up people's teeth, pick up people's teeth......"

Xue Pan obviously didn't believe in Xiao Han's words, since Xiao Han appeared, a lot of new things have appeared one after another, if one or two pieces can be said to be lonely and unheard of by outsiders, causing such treasures to wander in the wild, but so many appear together, this statement is untenable!

But fortunately, Xue Pan is also a smart person, seeing that Xiao Han is reluctant to say, he naturally won't break the casserole and ask to the end.

Flashing with big eyes, he looked at the abacus in Master Cao's hand, thought for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Xiao Han hesitantly: "Xiao Han, this abacus, I... I want to learn too, can you teach me? I promise! Never pass it on! ”

Originally, like Xue Pan, it has always been taboo to ask about other people's knowledge, but Xue Pan really wants to learn this magical knowledge, such a magical calculation method, whether it is in business or family business, will be an extremely practical knowledge!

"This ......"

Seeing Xiao Han pause suddenly, Xue Pan's heart suddenly sank, endured the feeling of gloom, and said to Xiao Han: "If this makes Brother Xiao embarrassed, it will be rude to Xue Pan......"

Xiao Han looked at Xue Pan's disappointed appearance very colaly, he just dragged a long note, Xue Pan was like a child who didn't grab the candy, he was very cute.

"Well, naturally, it's no problem! This abacus, I will go to the school in two days to talk about it, when the time comes, you can also listen to it, it is very simple, you are so smart, you must learn quickly! ”

"Really?!" Xue Panzheng was lost, and when he heard Xiao Han say this, he almost jumped up with joy, hugged Xiao Ai and turned around, and suddenly saw Xiao Han looking at him with a smile, and quickly let go of Xiao Ai, revealing a big smile, and bowed to Xiao Han and made a disciple salute: "The student has seen the teacher." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, you have to study hard, don't be playful~ Hahaha......"

Xiao Han had a straight face, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first, and Xue Pan couldn't stand up with a smile......

Master Cao looked at the two people who looked at each other and smiled, and he was also extremely happy in his heart, and laughed twice, so he quietly retreated and gave the space to these two people.

Although he lacks the experience of being alone with girls, Xiao Han is not a wooden person, after laughing, he diligently led Xue Pan around the house and outside, but unfortunately he built it in a hurry, and the layout is also a little old, so there are really not many attractive places, however, to say that there is no one, it is not right, at least, Xiao Han's kitchen is still very attractive!

When I was planning, the kitchen was not big, but the person who drew the sketch was scolded by the fat chef at the door, and had no choice but to revise it......

The kitchen is located at the back of the Hou Mansion, built here, mainly because there is a river behind it, although the Hou Ye must use well water to cook rice or something, but the water is good to brush the dishes and pots to drain the water, or the river water is good, dig a canal, bring the river water in, and it flows through a room next to the kitchen, and occasionally, there are fish into the house.

It's still early, the kitchen after making breakfast is no longer busy, the fat chef is lying in the small courtyard with a reclining chair, basking in the sun leisurely, while listening to the apprentices' reports on today's dish procurement.

Too much population! Even if Xiao Han is just starting out here, it is not easy to grow so many vegetables, so now every morning, there are always special people who go out to buy the dishes for the day, and in the middle of the morning, there are farmers who send the freshest vegetables one after another.

As for the chicken, duck and fish, it is necessary to prepare new ones every day, and the ice cellar built under the kitchen has not yet been opened, so it is necessary to go to the river in winter to pick large pieces of ice and store them in it, so that it can be used the next year, and when it is hot, it is used to make an ice and save some precious ingredients a little.

The fat chef was halfway through it, and suddenly there was no sound, and when he opened his eyes strangely, he found that Xiao Han and Xue Panzheng were standing in front of him with a smile and looking at him.

"Ahh Master Hou, why are you here, the little one will give you a greeting~"

Suddenly seeing Xiao Han, the fat chef bounced up from the chair, first glared at the apprentice who lowered his head and was silent, and then began to bow his hand to Xiao Han and Xue Pan with a smile on his face.

Xue Pan covered his mouth and snickered, Xiao Han kicked the fat chef helplessly: "Why can't I come, how can I find out that you are lazy here if you don't come!" ”
