Datang Live Room

"..." Yan Kai felt as if Sun Bin had directly punched him in the head.

WTF? Do you want to return the gift yourself?

Looking at Butler Zheng's sincere smile, it seemed that it was not fake.

I haven't gotten anything yet, so why are I preparing a return gift?

Isn’t that too unreasonable?

But it is impossible for the Zheng family to order something for themselves. It seems that there is such a etiquette.

Yan Kai asked: "I don't have any disciples either. In a situation like this, what kind of gift should I give in return?"

"Uh..." Butler Zheng touched his mustache: "Usually, I just send some stationery and the like to encourage the disciples to study hard in the future."

At this point, Butler Zheng suddenly understood and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yan, is it... that you have some trouble with your money? I will ask the accountant to pay some first..."

"No need!" Yan Kai shook his head and said.

Yan Kai felt that he still wanted to save face by borrowing his apprentice's money to buy gifts for him.

"I saw there was a carpenter in this house yesterday, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Yan, there are six craftsmen and four embroiderers in the house, but do you want me to call them here?" Although I don't know why Yan Kai asked, he probably wants to use these craftsmen.

Anyway, they are all raised at home, so naturally it is not a big deal.

"Okay, I'll go give Mr. Zheng a lesson first. It will only take about...an hour. After an hour, you can call the craftsman over."

"Mr. Yan, my young master's name is Zhixun. From now on, please don't call him young master. Just call him by his first name!"

"Okay!" Yan Kai went to the room yesterday, which was originally a study room.

"I've met you, sir!" Zheng Zhixun said with a respectful salute when he saw Yan Kai coming in.

Hey, don't tell me, this feeling is really good.

Yan Kai nodded with satisfaction: "Sit down!"

As for teaching, I used to work as a tutor in a work-study program. The naughty kids I taught at that time were not as conceited as Zheng Zhixun.

Yan Kai didn't intend to hide it, so he awkwardly picked up the brush and taught while writing:

"Look, the numbers you wrote like one, two and three are too troublesome. If we want to calculate quickly, we must first simplify these numbers. Let me teach you the numbers first!"

As Yan Kai wrote out ten numbers including 12345, Zheng Zhixun's eyes lit up. This is what he wanted to learn.

Unexpectedly, Yan Kai started teaching himself before the official apprenticeship ceremony was held!

Although he is also a young man at heart, he still cares about learning. Moreover, the things Yan Kai teaches are fresh and the teaching methods are completely different from those of the masters in the past.

Therefore, Zheng Zhixun was very interested in learning.

Two hours passed before I knew it.

Zheng Zhixun actually already has some mathematical foundation, at least at the level of the third or fourth grade of elementary school.

Today Yan Kai taught him how to use Arabic numerals to perform vertical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

But don't underestimate this. Just switching to vertical Arabic numerals can speed up Zheng Zhixun's calculations several times.

"Thank you sir!" Zheng Zhixun saluted sincerely.

He could feel whether Yan Kai was teaching him seriously just now. Apart from anything else, his results after studying are the best proof.

"No need to thank me!" Yan Kai waved his hand: "I have something to trouble you with. You decide whether it's appropriate or not. If it's not appropriate, forget it."

"Sir, please speak."

"It's my family. You see, I didn't go back yesterday. Teaching you here won't happen overnight. Can you please pick them up and come to Yangping Town? I plan to rent a house in the town."

The conditions at home were too difficult, and even just farming could not produce a good harvest, so he planned to take this opportunity to take his parents and two little ones out.

As for the future, you can do some small business or something in the town.

Zheng Zhixun thought it was something troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be such a small thing.

He immediately agreed: "What's the trouble? The disciple was negligent. I will send someone to invite the husband's family. There is an empty yard in the town, and I will ask someone to clean it out immediately." .”

Although he had been studying with Yan Kai for two hours, Zheng Zhixun had already secretly discovered that this fourteen-year-old gentleman had many mysteries and many things that he had never understood before.

So he also secretly wanted to make friends with or please Yan Kai. Now Yan Kai's request was something he couldn't ask for.

When Yan Kai's family comes, it will be even harder for him to leave.

After saying that, he called the housekeeper in directly. After giving some instructions, the housekeeper went down to make arrangements.

After everything was done, Zheng Zhixun looked at Yan Kai eagerly: "Sir, can we continue talking about Journey to the West today..."

"Let's talk in the afternoon. I want to ask the craftsmen in the house to make something in the morning." As he said that, he placed the nine chapters of arithmetic in front of Zheng Zhixun: "Use the numbers and vertical expressions I just taught you to calculate the questions here again. .”

"Yes!" Zheng Zhixun was still very obedient. If Yan Kai said it was afternoon, then it would be afternoon.

Yan Kai left him alone in the study and walked out.

"Mr. Yan, the craftsmen in the house are already waiting for you." As soon as he went out, a servant was waiting for Yan Kai and then took him to a courtyard.

There are a lot of tools and materials stored here. It is probably where the craftsmen in the house usually make things.

In this era, only truly wealthy families can maintain their own craftsmen at home.

The reason why Yan Kai came here in a hurry was not only to ask them to make a gift for Zheng Zhixun to become a disciple, but also because he had not broadcast live today.

Just live broadcast these craftsmen making things.

"I've seen Mr. Yan!" The craftsmen in the house all heard that a new gentleman was invited to make something for them today, but they didn't expect that it was such a young... child?

The main reason is that Yan Kai doesn't keep up with his nutrition, so even though he is 14 years old, he actually looks like he is only [-] or [-] years old.

"You're welcome!" Yan Kai didn't pay attention to these etiquettes and asked directly: "Who is the carpenter and who is the blacksmith?"

Several people glanced at each other, and then the leader stood up and said, "Mr. Yan is laughing. We craftsmen can do woodworking and iron work as long as it is not too rare."

Yan Kai understood that if he wanted to be a craftsman to support himself at this time, only having carpenter or blacksmith skills might not be enough.

But this is easy. He took out a drawing he just drew and said, "Then please see if you can make this thing. This is the gift I plan to give to your young master."

Although the drawings were crooked, Yan Kai marked the dimensions clearly, so the craftsmen knew how to do it at a glance.
