Mag nodded. He asked for a pen and paper, and drew out a complete table of the 9 × 9 multiplication formula. In order to explain it in detail, he wrote down the multiplication terms in reverse, and explained the decimal system algorithm in detail at the same time.
The sexagesimal system was currently used on the Norland Continent, and there were more than 1,700 terms in the multiplication table. If the multiplication and division of more than two digits were involved, the calculation would become extremely complicated. If one could do the division of more than three digits, they could be regarded as a mathematical expert.
Therefore, if they wanted to implement the multiplication table, the first thing they had to change was this complicated system. History had proven that the decimal system invented by the wise men of China was the simplest and most universal system. Coupled with the multiplication table, it was enough to solve most of the mathematical problems in life. That was an era when the ancient people of China crushed the world in arithmetic.
Luna watched from the side. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her mouth opened wider and wider. As an arithmetic teacher who grew up in a family of mathematicians, her eyesight was naturally not something that Amy could compare with.
Although she still didn't understand the concept of the decimal system very well in some aspects, Meg's explanation was enough for her to see that this system was extraordinary. Coupled with the highly regular multiplication table, she saw endless possibilities.
Luna looked at Meg, who had put down his pen, and said seriously, "Mr. Meg, although I'm not sure if this system and the decimal system of yours can be used in all situations, I can't deny that you are a genius."
"I'm not a genius. I just know a little more." Meg shook his head with a smile. This was the wisdom of the wise men of the past. It was a clash of the top and bottom for this world. He wasn't sure what kind of impact this piece of paper would have on this world.
"I'll get someone to send this information to Rodu as soon as possible. I don't have the ability to evaluate its value, nor can I verify it completely. However, I can be sure that this will definitely cause a huge uproar in the field of arithmetic on the Norland Continent. The name 'Mamy' will not be forgotten." Luna felt more and more that Meg was humble and polite. Not only was he a good cook, but he was also a genius in arithmetic. Even for such a discovery, he had to add Amy's name to it. It could be said that he doted on his daughter to the extreme.
This man is really interesting and curious. Is there anything that he can't do?
Amy looked at Meg with her eyes shining. Even Teacher Luna said that Father was a genius. Father was indeed amazing.
Meg nodded with a smile. Anyway, there shouldn't be any concept of royalties or invention patents in this world. He didn't want to make money from this. He would just treat it as an awesome advertisement for his restaurant.
Of course, the purpose of his visit today was not to teach Amy the multiplication table. His main purpose was to find a magic teacher for her. So, he got down to business. "Miss Luna, I brought Amy here today not only because she wants to see you, but also because I want to ask if the magic teachers in Chaos School will accept paid private lessons. Amy is very interested in magic, but she's not old enough to enter the school yet. So, I want to find a teacher to teach her some basic magic knowledge in advance."
"I'm afraid that's not possible. The teachers in Chaos School can't teach outside for paid lessons. If the school finds out, their teaching license will be revoked." Luna shook her head awkwardly. She looked at Amy, and said, "Also, Amy can't officially enter the school until next year. Even after she enters the school, she will have to wait until she's a little older before she has the opportunity to learn magic knowledge. After the professional magic teachers in the school confirm that she has magic talent, they will specially gather together to teach her."
She didn't expect that just because Amy wanted to learn magic, Meg would personally come here to find a private teacher.
"I see. Alright, thank you, Miss Luna, for clearing my doubts." Meg was a little disappointed to hear that. However, this was a rule, so there was nothing he could do. His original plan had fallen through. It seemed that he had to think of another way.
Luna looked at Amy with a smile, and said, "Actually, Amy is still young. There's no need to rush to learn magic. It's quite boring."
Amy shook her head, and said, "Teacher Luna, I really like magic. I think it's super interesting."
Meg and Amy played in Luna's office for a while before leaving. When they walked out of the school gate, the old guard and the orc both stared at them with wide eyes. They didn't know when the father and daughter had entered the school.
I have to send it to Grandfather as soon as possible. Perhaps this will be an important turning point in promoting arithmetic on a large scale. Grandfather will definitely be interested in it. Luna looked at Meg's back from the office window, and she couldn't hide the excitement on her face. She quickly walked to the table, picked up the two pieces of paper, and put them away carefully before walking out.
"Father, are we going home now?" Amy asked as she held one of Meg's fingers and looked up at Meg. She was in a very good mood today. Her singing had been praised by everyone, and she had even beaten Parmer with the multiplication table that her father had taught her. She felt as if she wasn't inferior to them at all.
"No. Since we're out, let's have a good day. We'll have lunch outside." Meg shook his head. It was indeed a little boring to stay in the restaurant every day. It was lunchtime now, so he took Amy to a popular barbeque restaurant on the side of the road. He was going to try out the dishes of this popular restaurant in this world.
Ugly Duckling was sleeping in the basket, and Meg had covered it with a towel. No one would know what was in the basket if it didn't make a sound.
As soon as they walked in, the aroma of barbeque wafted toward them. However, Meg couldn't help but furrow his brows. The aroma was mixed with the rank odor of mutton. Furthermore, the aroma of spices was too pungent. It was a smell even more intense than pepper.
"Father, are we going to eat barbeque?" Amy's eyes lit up. She had never eaten barbeque before.
"Yes." Meg, who had been a little hesitant about whether to leave or not, nodded when he saw Amy's eagerness. He picked a seat by the window and sat down.
This barbeque restaurant was one of the most popular in the Aden Square. It was only slightly less popular than Fryer's Tavern. People usually had to wait in line to eat their barbeque at night. Even at noon, the restaurant with more than 20 tables was almost full.
Meg glanced at the plate in front of the customer at the table next to him. The mutton had been cut into pieces. It was dark in color, and there was a layer of blackened sauce and seasoning powder on the surface. The two customers were eating the beef on their plates, chatting and laughing happily. It seemed that they were quite satisfied with the food.
"The sauce is not even applied evenly at all. The seasoning powder is not at the right time. The charcoal temperature is too high, and the barbeque time is too long. Is this barbeque skill at the level of an assistant chef?" With just one look, Meg already couldn't help but want to complain.
"Phew … Hold it in. Smile. You're a restaurant owner now. If you get recognized for complaining, you'll be seen as a troublemaker." Meg slowly calmed himself down. Then, he opened the menu and ordered two servings of the restaurant's specialty barbeque mutton and beef. The price of one serving was 88 copper coins. It was the most expensive item on the menu.
