The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 674

[Chapter 674 The earth is round!]

As soon as these words came out, the whole restaurant instantly became much quieter.

Just because of three words – Marquis of Xin’an.

They are all from the capital, so they naturally understand the weight of these three words.

Putting aside the character of Marquis Xin’an, his vision is real.

The Marquis of Xin’an has recruited boatmen, which means that this matter is most likely true.

For a time, most of my thoughts became active.

They all looked at that person.

Asked: “Is this true? Is Xin’an Marquis really recruiting boatmen?”

The man raised his eyebrows and said: “Of course, my relatives are working in Xin’an Marquis. Fang Mansion appears to be calm, but in fact it is We have hired a lot of boatmen. You can find out about this with a little inquiry.”

After hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they were obviously more convinced.

There is no doubt that if Marquis Xin’an does something in a big way, he might still be holding back his bad intentions.

However, if you do something so quietly, it must be beneficial, and you won’t run away!

For a time, everyone’s mood changed.

From the initial firm disbelief, to the slightest belief, and then to the doubt.

The four words “Golden Land” have left a mark on their hearts.

From now on, whenever I hear these four words, I will have some thoughts.

When the man surnamed Fang saw this scene, he stopped teasing. Instead, he stood up and said loudly: “Brothers will be sailing to the West in a few days. Today’s drink is mine. Let me eat and drink.” OK!”

When people at the same table heard this, they all smiled and exchanged greetings.

But what was on his mind was something else.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.

Even if the children of wealthy families go out to drink, they always go to restaurants of the same level as Zuihua Pavilion and Chunfeng Tower.

Generally speaking, those who drink here are unlikely to achieve anything great.

Therefore, after hearing what the person named Fang said just now, they began to think about it.

Why don’t you take advantage of your youth and work hard?

After all, I am now considered to be a person who is neither high nor low.

They had to live hand to mouth, there was no hope of studying, they had little money to work, and they were losing face.

Why not unite a few brothers, get a boat together, and go to the Western Ocean to make a living?

Several people looked at each other and could see the same thoughts in each other’s eyes, and soon started discussing the interesting ‘rumors’ that had been circulating in the market recently.

On the other side, the man surnamed Fang came to the counter, looked at the accountant, and said, “How much money?”

The accountant calculated and said, “A total of sixty-seven cents.”

“Sixty-seven cents?

” The man surnamed Fang was startled for a moment, and then he understood something and said, “I will count all the food and drinks on that table.”

“Okay, let me do the math later.”

The accountant looked at the records in the account book The food and wine and the price of the wine and food were all calculated.

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side.

“Three hundred and seventy-two yuan.”

The diners, the cashier, and the shopkeeper all looked at the child who spoke.

“Brother Zhao, don’t talk nonsense.”

The shopkeeper reprimanded.

However, Chen Zhaodi curled his lips and said in a low voice: “I’m not talking nonsense, it’s just three hundred and seventy-two cents.”

The accountant and shopkeeper all shook their heads and ignored her.

It takes a long time to calculate this with an abacus, but a child can say it with his mouth?

Who believes it!

In fact, when the shopkeeper, Chen Zhaodi’s father, heard this, he frowned and regretted sending his daughter to study at that bullshit Fangxiu Arts and Sciences College.

He didn’t learn anything, but he learned to lie and make trouble.

Just know.

Then what good things can Marquis Xin’an teach you?

But it’s not just that – head covering and abduction!

Hey, I shouldn’t have been deceived by that one tael of silver in the first place.

As the shopkeeper thought this, he heard the sound of abacus coming down.

Looking up, he found that the accountant was looking at Brother Zhao with disbelief.

“A total of three hundred and seventy-two articles.”

These words came out.

In an instant, three eyes fell on Chen Zhaodi.

Chen Zhaodi had a proud look on his face. He looked at his father and raised his head and said, “Dad, how’s it going? I said that right?

It’s three hundred and seventy-two yuan!”

The shopkeeper didn’t know what to say for a moment. .

The diners were also amazed.

Only the accountant came up and asked curiously: “Can you tell uncle how you calculated it?”

“That’s not easy!”

Chen Zhaodi raised his hand and said, “Just multiply those numbers first and then add them again.” “

Yes!”

“First and then?”

The accountant looked puzzled.

I have no idea what Chen Zhaodi is talking about.

Chen Zhaodi picked up the pen, ink and paper and explained in detail what the multiplication table was.

When the accountant saw it, his eyes widened.

Why had he never discovered such a simple calculation method before?

“Brother Zhao, who taught you these?”

The shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something, looked at Chen Zhaodi, and asked.

Chen Zhaodi replied: “It’s sir! He also said that he will teach us more things in a few days. These are the most basic.

Only by learning these can we learn more.”

The gentleman here must be Fang Xiu Academy of Arts and Sciences Mr.

The shopkeeper got a positive answer, and his expression became a little complicated.

After thinking for a long time, he asked: “When you are in the academy, does your husband only teach you arithmetic?”

“Of course not!”

Chen Zhaodi thought for a while and replied: “In addition to arithmetic, there are many more, such as saints words, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, but the teacher asked us to memorize these things. As long as we can memorize them,

the most important thing is arithmetic. By the way, there is also a course called science, which is the most interesting.

Dad, do you know that the ground under our feet is actually round? “

The ground under our feet is round!” ?

When the three of them heard this, their expressions became a little strange.

This was the first time they heard this statement.

After all, the sky is round and the earth is round, this is the word of the sage, and it is also something confirmed by countless ancestors.

How come the earth is round?

“Is this what sir told you?”

the shopkeeper asked.

“Yes!” Chen Zhaodi replied with a smile: “Sir, the ground under our feet is round, just like the sun and moon in the sky.

Because the ground under our feet is constantly rotating, all during the day, we can You can see the sun and the moon at night, and “

Wait a minute!”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper.

“Are you sure your husband told you that the earth is round?”

“Yeah!”

The shopkeeper frowned and asked, “Brother Zhao, see for yourself whether the earth under our feet is round or square.

If it were round, wouldn’t it slide away if it couldn’t stand firmly?”
