Chapter 1580 Meng Yunzheng Comes to Help
Mrs. Tan made up her mind. She would cook the instant noodles when she got home tonight and let her husband and son try them so they could feel the excitement in her heart.
Thinking of this, she urged Shuyu to get her the prize and chatted with the wealthy ladies she knew about it.
Shu Yu found it amusing. Seeing that Ying Xi hadn't returned yet, she asked Wei Fangfang to guard the lottery table while she personally went to get her some instant noodles.
To her surprise, when she turned around, she saw Meng Yunzheng standing behind her.
She looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Today is your grand opening day, of course I had to come. So, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shu Yu had many questions she wanted to ask him, but the circumstances didn't allow it.
She went to get the instant noodles first, and when she saw Ying Xi return, she led Meng Yunzheng towards the counter. "You've come at the right time. Help Brother Da Niu with the accounting and collecting money. That's your forte."
"good."
Da Niu was already struggling; even though he was very skilled at mental arithmetic, he couldn't keep up with the increasing number of customers.
In particular, many customers later on didn't just buy sunflower seeds and sunflower oil for the lottery; they genuinely needed them and weren't short of money. Therefore, these customers wouldn't be satisfied with a round number like 200 coins.
They chose for themselves: three flavors of sunflower seeds, two pounds of sunflower oil, and a dozen packs of instant noodles. With all these items added together, it was much more difficult to calculate than before.
Da Niu wasn't worried about anything else, except that he might miscalculate because he was too fast. It would be terrible if he made such a mistake on the first day, since he wasn't a professional accountant.
Just as his fingers were aching from using the abacus, Meng Yunzheng arrived.
Da Niu let out a long breath. "Ah Yun, come here quickly, stand over here."
Meng Yunzheng exchanged a few words with Shu Yu, and then quickly donned his armor and went into battle.
Compared to Da Niu's somewhat nervous demeanor, Meng Yunzheng seemed much more at ease once he took over.
He didn't need an abacus at all. As soon as someone gave him a number, he could calculate the value immediately. His speed was so fast that the customers couldn't believe it. They took an abacus to calculate it themselves and, after finding no problem, exclaimed in amazement, "I bought so many different things, and you can calculate it in an instant. You're amazing!"
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "I've been training since I was a child."
The man wanted to say more, but the customers behind him were already urging him on.
Meng Yunzheng is not only quick at accounting, but he also has the energy to chat with people and introduce products along the way.
Da Niu stood to the side handing over the wooden plaque, staring in disbelief. No wonder he was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations three times in a row.
Shu Yu only watched for a while before returning to the lottery table. There were too many people there, and if she didn't keep an eye on things occasionally, something bad might happen.
Most of the day has passed, and the first and third prizes still haven't been drawn.
But this did not dampen the guests' enthusiasm at all; in fact, they became even more eager to find out what the two prizes were, and even went to the door to call out to them.
Mrs. Tan had her fill and was satisfied. Given how busy Lu Ji was, she couldn't stay any longer and be entertained.
Therefore, upon seeing Shu Yu return, he immediately took his leave.
But before leaving, he still couldn't give up and pulled her aside to ask in a low voice, "So what exactly are the first and third prizes?"
Shu Yu didn't hide it from her; there should be results soon anyway.
Mrs. Tan clicked her tongue twice after hearing this, "You're really generous; there are three first prizes."
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."
Mrs. Tan looked at the bustling scene in the shop and had to nod in agreement.
