Chapter 675 Arithmetic is too difficult
Shu Yu laughed and quickly took a few steps forward.
Their stall wasn't very big; they mainly sold popcorn and Jiangyuan County's specialty flatbreads, both of which were best eaten hot.
So there were two large wooden barrels in the stall, and the barrels were wrapped in thick cloth to keep the things inside warm.
There wasn't much food in the wooden bucket. Once it was sold out, Ruan and Daya would roast another batch in the stove at the back, which was quite convenient.
All the food from their stall could be taken away, but Ruan still set up four small tables in front of the stall.
This table is a folding table; it must have been made by Lu Erbai.
At this point, there were two tables occupied by customers, while the others were queuing up to buy takeout.
Daya pulled Shuyu over and stood behind Ruan Shi, her excited little face slightly flushed. "Mother, look who's here?"
Ruan was too busy to turn her head, collecting money and packing orders while casually asking, "Who is it?"
Daya snatched the work from Ruan's hands and did it herself, saying, "Why don't you take a look later and you'll see?"
Ruan Shi Teng made a move, then glanced helplessly at Daya, before turning her head and widening her eyes in surprise, "Ah, Ayu? What are you doing here? Aren't you..."
There were many guests here, so she immediately fell silent. Then she pulled Shu Yu back a few steps and asked her in a low voice, "Can you leave through Zhengdao Village?"
She looked at Shu Yu with a mixture of delight and a desire to see her thoroughly, as if she wanted to examine her inside and out.
Since Shu Yu left Jiangyuan County, Lu Erbai has seen her, Daya has seen her, and the old lady, Da Hu, and San Ya even live with her. Only Ruan Shi has not yet had the opportunity to visit her daughter in Zhengdao Village.
They had originally thought that the local bully would demand protection money, so they would stop after finishing this morning's work and then go to Zhengdao Village to find her. Who knew that Ayu would arrive first?
Shu Yu smiled and let her look her over. Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, she quickly explained what had happened. Then she pressed her down on a small stool. "Mom, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll take care of things here. I heard from my sister that there aren't many things left. We'll go home once we sell them all this morning. I'll help my sister collect the money."
"You don't need to do this, I can handle it."
"I'm good at math, I'll do it."
Ruan was speechless. Indeed, Ayu was the fastest accountant in their family. While others needed an abacus, she only needed to look at a number to know the result. She was incredibly capable.
Their stall did fairly well, but good business also had its troubles. Neither she nor Daya were particularly fast at calculating accounts, and sometimes when they were a little slow, customers would complain.
But there was nothing they could do; they had tried their best, and this math was just too difficult.
Shu Yu quickly walked to the stall. Just then, a customer wanted to buy seven sesame cakes and three bags of popcorn. It was quite a lot of stuff, so Da Ya carried them for him while mentally calculating the cost.
Just then, someone shouted from behind, "Can you finish all these sesame cakes? What will we do if there aren't any left? Girl, leave some for me, I need five sesame cakes."
Immediately afterward, another customer's voice came from the small table, "Boss lady, I'd like to settle the bill here, and also give me a bag of popcorn to take away."
This interruption left Daya somewhat flustered.
Fortunately, Shu Yu came over and, while taking the money, replied to the people behind her, "Don't worry, there are still five sesame cakes."
After saying that, he packed up the popcorn and went to the small table to collect the money.
