Some people say that whether they are men, women or children, they are all the same.

You don't want to dampen his enthusiasm. For example, he has to do housework and cook.

Even if he doesn't do well, you have to encourage him so that he will become more positive.

When you hit him, he will lose interest in doing it. In the end, it will be you who is exhausted.

It's like a man buying you a gift. Even if you don't like the gift, you have to accept it to show that you like it very much, so that he will be motivated to buy you a gift.

If you say you don't like something, once or twice, he won't buy it again.

In fact, you can accept it, express your liking, and then tactfully express what you like better.

Then next time, he will buy in this direction.

This was what Li Yuan was thinking about, and she decided to go back and thank Yanzhi. Even if she burned the food to charcoal, she would have to eat it with her eyes closed and encourage him again.

Xie Yanzhi didn't know what she was thinking when he saw her putting soy sauce into the stir-fried pork belly.

When it became fragrant and fragrant, he scooped it up and started frying the dried shrimps and dried mushrooms. He knew that the dried noodles were ready to eat immediately.

Xiao Qingsha did the same, leaning next to Xie Yanzhi, standing on tiptoes to look into the pot.

Although she couldn't see it, the little girl still stared at it stubbornly, eager to eat it right away.

When Su Mingshan brought Su Lan and others over, the Xie family door was ajar.

When she arrived at the kitchen door and smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up just like Xiao Qingsha.

"Sister Li, did you make the noodles dry? Did you also use dried shrimps, meat and eggs?"

"Yes, but Xiao Qingsha can't eat spicy food, so I just put a chili pepper in. If you want spicy food, just grind a dry chili pepper into a bowl and mix it up to make it better!"

Su Mingshan nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! By the way, Sister Li, I have brought all the account books. Where do you want to put them?"

"There is no fire bed here, it's the same everywhere. You can put it wherever you like, even in the study. By the way, I did a lot at night. Did your girl eat it? Or we can eat it together?"

Su Lan and Suxue held a large pile of account books and looked at their young ladies hesitantly after hearing this.

Su Mingshan was not the kind of master who would treat her servants poorly. When she saw this, she said: "Like me, they haven't had time to eat yet. Sister Li, if you have extra, just ask them to fill their bellies."

The cauliflower in Li Yuan's pot was already cooked, so she poured the five florets and eggs together, and at the same time picked up the dried noodles and put them into the pot.

The powder itself has already been cooked. Once it is put into the pot, wait until the water boils, and then add some salt, chicken essence, etc. to start the pot.

Su Mingshan didn't know exactly what Li Yuan put in her cooking. She felt that everything was prepared. As smart as she was, she never took the initiative to ask.

When she ate the dried noodles again, she sighed: "The mixed dried noodles just don't taste as good as the cooked noodles. But again, it's meat, egg, and vegetable. It's not delicious, so that's it." It's strange. Speaking of which, Sister Li, it's a pity that you don't open a noodle stall anymore. I've never eaten at your stall, and I don't know what the details are."

Li Yuan chuckled and glared at her: "If I cook this for you, is it worse than eating at a stall? Okay, eat quickly, I see there are quite a lot of accounts."

After dinner, Li Yuan asked Xie Yanzhi to help first, while she took Xiao Qingsha to eat, and then put her to sleep before going to the study.

But before she entered the brightly lit study, she heard the sound of an abacus being dialed rapidly from inside.

When she entered, she saw that except for Suxue who was serving tea and water and occasionally adding charcoal to the lamp, the other three people each had an account book in front of them.

Xie Yanzhi and Su Mingshan dialed the abacus very fast, while Su Lan was much slower.

Seeing this, she just found a place to sit down when she saw Suxue bringing pen, ink, paper, inkstone and accounting book to her.

She opened the account book and saw numbers all in capital letters, and couldn't help but have a headache.

She silently spread out the account books, looked at Xie Yanzhi and said, "Brother Xie, if the account books are calculated like this, when will the calculation be completed? Otherwise, let's use the numbers and algorithms you accidentally learned to calculate?"

Hearing this, Xie Yanzhi looked up at her and couldn't help but blink. Based on a tacit understanding, he cooperated very well and said, "As long as Miss Su doesn't mind, that's fine."

Su Mingshan didn't understand what was going on at all, so she asked: "Sister Li, will the numbers and algorithms you mentioned be faster?"

"Of course, how about you let Suxue look at the time, I'll count ten pages, you see how long it takes, and then how long do you take?"

"Okay, then you calculate it first and record it separately with a pen and paper. I will calculate it later. Then we will check to see how long it took and whether there is any discrepancy in the calculation."

Xie Yanzhi now knew that Li Yuan had a new algorithm, perhaps using the immortal algorithm. He had no intention of continuing, so he sat next to Li Yuan and stared at the words she wrote.

He had seen that text in the "Immortal Mansion".

I just thought they were written by immortals, and I was afraid that asking too many questions would make Yuan Niang sad, so I was embarrassed to speak.

Now that I think about it, these words are specially used for calculations!

At this time, he saw that his wife didn't even use an abacus. She just picked up a pen and started writing. Then she crossed it back and forth. She quickly came up with a number that he couldn't understand, and then turned to the next page.

She didn't put much effort into the ten-page account book without the need for an abacus, so she just thought it was done.

Li Yuan is very good at mental arithmetic, and no one here knows this.

Su Mingshan had only finished three pages. She was just about to prepare the fourth page when she heard Li Yuan say yes. She was shocked.

She has been exposed to these since she was a child, and she can calculate accounts very quickly, and her abacus is also very good.

She thinks that in the entire Xinyang Mansion, there are few female relatives who can compare with her.

But she hadn't even reached the fourth page, and Li Yuan was actually fine?

Either she is fooling people, or she really has that simple algorithm, and she is capable of this and that.

No matter which one it was, Su Mingshan felt a little hot inside.

If it's the former, she must ask the other party to help her if she wants to get married in the future.

If it's the latter, she must learn this method, and then discuss it with her sister Li to see if she should sell this method.

If you teach someone how much money you charge, they will split it half and half.

In short, let Xie Yanzhi pass the Jinshi examination first and then submit this method to the court. This will be beneficial to his career.

And she immediately used this method to teach others, and then charged a "repair" fee.

Li Yuan didn't know what Su Mingshan was thinking. She gave the account book to Su Mingshan, took a new one, and softly taught Xie Yanzhi the Arabic numerals from one to one hundred, as well as the multiplication and division formulas.

She didn't care whether the other party could understand it or not. Anyway, she even taught her how to calculate multi-digit numbers.

Just after Su Mingshan calculated ten pages of detailed data, she asked to start comparing the specific figures with Li Yuan.

Soon, she discovered that every number Li Yuan said matched the number she had calculated three times.

She glanced at the thick stack of account books and asked Li Yuan decisively: "Sister Li, how do you calculate? Can you teach me?"

Li Yuan deliberately looked at Xie Yanzhi and asked again: "Brother Xie, is it okay?"
