C99 (1/2)

With Meng Guangmei's beautiful words in front of the young mistress, Mountain Note became the most sought after restaurant in Xin Ning City.

At that moment, the other restaurants on Water Street were in a dead end, and the first floor of Mountain Note was packed with seats. The second floor only received three tables a day, so they had to obediently wait for the appointment even if they were to spend a lot of money.

Every night, when Zhou Shuli was holding onto a account book and doing calculations at the front of the counter, he would have to be amazed by the Mountain Note's daily profit.

On this day, just as the Mountain Note had closed, Zhou Shuli had already opened the account book and was fiddling with the abacus pearl in his hands as he tried to calculate the total amount.

The sky became even darker. Huang Guizhi placed the oil lamp on the counter, added some ink on the desk, and stood together with Zhou Shuli. She helped him count the bills for the day.

Zhou Shuli wrote very well, but he was a little embarrassed. Seeing Gui Zhi was by his side, he felt even more embarrassed, and kept his head down to calculate, while secretly rejoicing.

The corners of his mouth rose higher and higher until he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gui Zhi could read, but he did not know how to calculate. Seeing that Zhou Shuli was actually smiling, he thought that he had made quite a bit of money, and followed suit happily, grabbing onto Zhou Shuli's sleeve as he asked: ”How is it?”

Zhou Shuli's mind was full of Huang Guizhi, when he heard her question, he naturally thought he was asking himself how he felt about her accompanying him, so he blurted out a few words: ”Very good, very good.”

Gui Qi was so excited that his face turned red. ”Very good, very good, very good?”

A few days ago, Gui Qi and the house made another trip to Xin Ning and agreed with Carpenter Sun and his wife that they would build a farm.

Hearing Gui Qi's question, Zhou Shuli's face became even more red, but the atmosphere was stifling. In her ears, she heard that Gui Zhi was flirting with her.

Twisting his body, Twisting his body, Twisting his hand over his shoulder, holding a brush, he drew a vertical line on the white paper and a series of circles beside it. He didn't stop until he was almost out of the white paper.

Huang Guizhi was startled, what did this string of Glyph Devils mean? It didn't look like a word, but it didn't look like a painting either …

”You don't understand, right? This is something that Lou Cheng taught me. It's called a lowercase number.” Zhou Shuli handed the paper over to Gui Qi, and then pointed to the vertex at the front. ”Here, this is the one.”

It was only on the first day that Jin Xiaolou was settling her debts and looking at the complicated capital amounts, she suddenly realized that no one in this era had ever seen Arab numerals.

Thus, she immediately taught Zhou Shuli how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide things in small numbers. Then, she wrote down a nine-fold table of method and taught it to him.

Although Zhou Shuli had not used his abacus very well, with the abacus coupled with the simple calculation of numbers, he had already shortened the time taken to calculate the sum by more than half.

There were several times when Zhou Shuli felt that if Jin Xiaolou was a man, he would definitely become the top scholar in high school and become one of the country's most important subjects.

that would be the entire Great Zhou's fortune.

Zhou Shuli secretly raised his head to look at Gui Zhi's expression, seeing that her face was as bright as the clouds, his heart was in turmoil, he then pointed to the circle behind him: ”That's zero, Little Lou said that the number of zeros following me is more and more, the number is bigger and bigger, here, ten million, ten million, hundred million, a billion is a big deal, and behind it is a trillion, it's just like the number of stars in the sky …”

Gui Qi did not even dare think about what was happening, but she was filled with suspicions. She would not wishful thinking, even if Mountain Note were to earn so much money in one day, it would be impossible for it to be so easy for them to earn that much silver. Just as she was about to ask, Zhou Shuli suddenly spoke again.

”Gui Qi, this is how good you are. It's as bright and fascinating as the stars in the sky. ”

Zhou Shuli did not dare to look at Huang Guizhi. He lowered his head and used his hands to buckle his robes.

Unexpectedly, there was no one beside him.

Gui Zhi was filled with anticipation, waiting for Zhou Shuli to tell him how much money the restaurant had made, but after waiting for a long time, he suddenly heard some unfathomable things. He couldn't wait any longer as he hugged his account book and ran to the backyard to find Jin Xiaolou.

It was only then did he understand that just today, his Mountain Note had earned him fifty silver. Counting the profits, he had earned a total of two hundred silver in the past few days, which was equivalent to half a year's worth of income from other stores.

Gui Zhi's face flushed red in excitement. He actually hugged Jin Xiaolou in joy and spun around several times, until Gao Lang rushed in like a child snatching a watermelon and snatched him away from Gui Zhi and hugged him.
