74 Arabic Numerals

When they arrived at the side of the official road, Lin Xiaoyue waited for a while before finally getting on Old Man Shi’s cart.

Old Man Shi was very surprised when he learned that Lin Xiaoyue was really going to buy an ox cart.

“Girl, what kind of fortune did you make?” It was only the third day that he had taken this girl to town.

Even if the goods were valuable, she wouldn’t be able to get so much money in a short time, right?

“Hehe, not only are we going to buy ox carts, but we are also going to build a house. When the time comes, we’ll probably have to hire some people to transport the bricks. Grandpa Shi, will you accept this job?” Lin Xiaoyue asked with a smile.

There were two other ox carts in Daishi Village, but they were not meant to transport goods. Moreover, they had built-in sheds, so they were not as suitable as Old Man Shi’s cart.

“Of course! When?” Old Man Shi hurriedly asked.

He could only ride the cart for half a day. Only when he returned from the town could he fill up the cart. Most of the time when he went, there were only two or three people. Sometimes, there was not even a single person. After calculating, he could not earn much money this way.

Transporting goods was calculated according to the number of trips he made. A few more trips a day would be equivalent to the profit he made from traveling to town for a few days.

“It’s not decided yet. But I’ve already made an appointment with the construction team this afternoon. We want to finish building the house as soon as possible and will arrange for it to start as soon as possible!”

“Alright! Tell me when the time comes!” Old Man Shi was also very happy.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Definitely.”

Then, she asked Old Man Shi about buying an ox cart.

This time, Old Man Shi explained in more detail.

Not only did he tell her the address in town, but he also told her how to determine the quality of the ox and how to haggle the price.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was busy with transporting passengers, he would have wanted to help Lin Xiaoyue choose an ox.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t want to delay Old Man Shi further, so she added another three coins for him to send her to Ruyi Restaurant and said goodbye to him

Once she entered the yard, Chef Liu arranged for her goods to be weighed again.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue took the invoice and went to the cashier.

Liang Chengcai saw Lin Xiaoyue coming and immediately stood up to bow to her, his eyes full of longing.

Lin Xiaoyue gave the invoice to Liang Chengcai. After he settled the bill, she told him that she had something to do at home and couldn’t teach him this afternoon.

“Although I can’t teach you today, I’ve prepared some basic teaching materials for you,” Lin Xiaoyue said as she handed a piece of paper to him.

“Here are the numbers 0-10. You can first practice writing them in the afternoon. Before I teach you tomorrow, you have to completely master the 11 numbers.”

“Yes!” Liang Chengcai said excitedly.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue taught him how to write.

Liang Chengcai only tried twice before he got it.

Liang Chengcai sighed in his heart. It was indeed much simpler to write numbers this way.

“Miss Lin, are there only 11 numbers? How do you write bigger numbers?” Liang Chengcai quickly asked.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Liang Chengcai.

She thought that this was the first day of teaching and only prepared for the basics.

She did not expect that it would be too easy for him. He could not wait to learn more.

Seeing that no one else was here, Lin Xiaoyue simply explained the unit of counting to Liang Chengcai.

“The unit of counting is the same as the unit on your abacus. There are ones, tens, hundreds, and so on. For example, one hundred is 1 hundred, 0 tens and 0 ones.” Lin Xiaoyue wrote on the paper.
