Chapter 624 Amazing Deliciousness

The woman was smiling as she spoke, and she looked like she loved life.

The scholars were a little confused, "Is it convenient for us to see that?"

The woman waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's convenient to look at. There's nothing wrong with looking at it."

"Anyway, this is what the county magistrate taught my daughter. My daughter taught me, and I have to say, this method of accounting is very fast."

"I just couldn't do accounting, but now I can do it after learning it."

"Besides, paper is cheap here now, and we have specially bound notebooks. These small notebooks cost three cents each."

Everyone was stunned. Is it so magical?

But everyone thought the notebook was very good.

This small notebook is convenient to carry around and write on daily basis.

Everyone couldn't put the book down just by looking at it.

But they were more curious about the Arabic numerals used in accounting.

I don’t know what it is.

Just listening to what this aunt said, I felt it was quite magical.

They also couldn't imagine any way to calculate and keep accounts that would be convenient and quick.

They studied books and learned arithmetic, but many of them were extremely poor at it.

When the scholars curiously opened the notebook and looked at the strings of characters, countless question marks popped up in their minds.

What did they see?

I saw a string of characters.

They couldn't understand it no matter how they looked at it.

I don’t know what is recorded on it.

Especially the older scholar, who considered himself quite knowledgeable and had studied ancient characters, but there were no such characters.

"This is?"

The woman smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits. "Just say you don't understand."

"Only people in Hezhou know that these are Arabic numerals. Our princess encourages everyone to learn this method of arithmetic and accounting. Not to mention, it's easy to learn and quick to keep accounts."

The woman looked at the burrito with a spatula in one hand and pointed at the numbers in the notebook with the other hand and said, "This is zero, this is one, this is two..."

"It's easy to keep accounts now that there are ten numbers in total."

The woman gave a simple explanation, and the scholars, who were all smart people, understood it immediately.

Everyone will understand what it means by looking at the numbers below.

“It’s really amazing.”

"This way, we can understand everything at a glance. It's much easier to use than our previous accounting method."

"Just remember these ten characters and you can combine all the numbers."

Everyone looked at these numbers and was amazed.

At this moment, they couldn't help but think of pinyin.

Since the introduction of pinyin, many students who have just entered school can read on their own after learning pinyin.

Nowadays, many basic books are marked with pinyin, so students can learn it by themselves without the need for teachers to teach them.

This learning method is very fast now. Many books can be used, and you can also learn to recognize words by yourself.

Because everyone knows what the characters are by looking at the marked pinyin.

They didn't even bother to eat the buns and quickly wrote down the Arabic numerals on the spot.

"Aunt, do women's academies teach these things?"

The woman said, "Learn everything. Reading and counting are the basics. They say you learn the basics first, then you can be divided into specialized classes. Anyway, we don't really understand it. It means that after you learn the basics, you can see what other skills you can learn. You can learn embroidery, carpentry, accounting, nursing, medicine, farming, martial arts, become a female escort, there are many options."

"The princess has many industries and workshops, and she will directly arrange work for everyone when the time comes."

"Although half of the tuition will be deducted from the wages until the tuition is paid in the first few years, and then the wages will be paid normally, it is still good. Many people rack their brains but still can't get a job in the princess's workshop."

Whenever the woman thought about her daughter learning a skill and working for the princess in the future, she felt proud and her back was straightened.

The scholars traveled to many places for study.

But they couldn't help but sigh that great changes had taken place in Hezhou.

Even women can read and learn knowledge.

And the girls' parents all support it.

Perhaps this is also the change brought about by Lord Su and the princess.

They were all deeply touched.

After giving the notebook to the woman, they found a bench and sat down to eat buns.

The buns are still hot.

After they took a few bites, they were amazed by the taste of the buns.

"It's delicious, really delicious. I've never eaten buns that taste like this before."

"Yes, yes, it's really delicious. So this is willow leaf bun."

"It tastes really good. No wonder that person strongly recommended our buns."

"This is the first time I know that willow leaves can be eaten. I thought they were tasteless like wild vegetables, but I didn't expect them to be so delicious."

Everyone looked intoxicated while eating the willow leaf buns.

Everyone was really amazed by the taste of the willow leaf buns.

Everyone ate with smiles on their faces.

At this time, everyone was eating quietly, enjoying the delicious willow leaf filling, and had no time to talk.

After eating two, someone said, "I don't feel full yet, let me buy two more."

Everyone has the same idea. They usually have a big appetite and can eat three or four buns.

But sometimes, in order to save money, I can’t bear to eat as much as I want.

But this bun is really delicious.

Moreover, the buns are cheap and big. Although they are filled with willow leaves, they also contain meat, including several pieces of pork belly.

When they went back to buy buns again, there were already several people queuing in front of them, so they had to queue at the back.

They also had to sigh that the buns were delicious and the bun shop's business was indeed good.

The boss was busy making dumplings. When he heard the sound, he looked up and realized it was the scholars.

"Little brother, what are you doing?"

"We think the buns are really delicious. Let's each have two more."

"Okay!"

The boss was very excited and quickly collected the copper coins for Baozi.

"Boss, your vegetarian buns actually have meat in them."

The boss smiled and explained, "Yes, meat filling means pure meat filling, and vegetarian filling means there is both vegetables and meat inside. Vegetables alone don't taste good, so they taste better with the flavor of meat."

The scholars admired in their hearts that this was really cost-effective.

The boss is also happy that everyone recognizes the food in their restaurant, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Although he is busy every day, he is very happy because business is good.

The boss and his family of three run a bun shop business.

The couple and their son.

Although their son is only fourteen years old, he has now learned the skills of making buns.

When their son grew up and got married, they handed the store over to their son and daughter-in-law, and they also helped out on a daily basis.

Maybe they can open a bun shop somewhere else.

The main reason is that roads in various places have been repaired, and I heard that horse-drawn carriages will be available. Other places will also develop, so they plan to open another bun shop.

They are full of energy now.

Moreover, with Lord Su and the princess in Hezhou, they can just focus on their business.

Lord Su and the princess will also protect the interests of their people.

They won't let anyone bully them.

"By the way, Boss, do you have any food recommendations?"

"The roujiamo shop across the street is also delicious and doing good business. I recommend you go and try it."

"We have pork and beef, but they're a bit more expensive."

"And the girl next to you who showed you the notebook, her fried skewers and wraps are also delicious. My son loves them."

"Speaking of delicious food, we have so much delicious food at the pier. You can stay here for a few days and still not be able to see or eat all of it."

"And that noodle shop? Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, there's a new noodle shop that opened at the dock. They have a wide variety of noodles, they taste delicious, and they're cheap. They also have vermicelli soup, which is delicious. The shop is also big. I heard it was opened by a relative of the princess. At first, everyone thought they had to support the princess's relative's shop, but they didn't expect the noodles to be so delicious."

"Their shop is very crowded every day now, you can go and try the noodles."
