Chapter 191 A Concubine is Better than a Mistress (9)_1
Wang Ting had not seen Pei Qin for a long time, and when he heard she was coming, he hurried out to meet her. Noticing her attire of a moon-white cotton-linen jacket embroidered with square victory patterns, he paused in surprise and slowed his steps.
Pei Qin, carrying a bag of Sanzi, gestured with it, "Try it, see if it’s edible!"
Before the servants could inspect it, Wang Ting broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "This is made from noodles, but it tastes different from noodles! I knew it as soon as I tasted it!"
"Indeed! How clever!" Pei Qin praised with a laugh.
Wang Ting pouted, noticing the cart laden with many items, and asked with bright eyes, "What goods are you bringing to sell? I’ll help you sell them! Did you receive the silver and grain that the steward sent last time?"
"Of course, I received them. I came precisely to express my thanks!" Pei Qin also respectfully presented thirty abacuses to Old Master Wang.
She was known for being quick with accounts. Old Master Wang knew this, but he hadn’t expected her to come up with the Clearing Device for Abacus. He called her to demonstrate and, being satisfied, he took the initiative to buy all the extra ones.
The first time Wang Ting eagerly helped pull the cart for Pei Qin, the servant touted that in Runing Prefecture most of the grain shops belonged to the Wang family and mentioned other businesses too. With every Shopkeeper using an abacus, the Clearing Device would certainly be needed.
