Meg stared blankly for a moment, but he quickly realized that Amy must have felt that she hadn't been of much help because she hadn't been as successful as him at the cashier counter.
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Meg looked at Amy's small eyes and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. It seemed that the little girl was still not confident. Actually, in his eyes, it was already very good for the four-year-old Amy to be able to do so much.
"Who said so? How could our Amy be useless? It's mostly because of Amy that we were able to sell four plates of fried rice today. Secondly, when we were at the cashier counter, the four plates of fried rice cost 2,400 copper coins. Amy calculated correctly, but Grandpa Mobai didn't have that many copper coins, so he could only use the more beautiful and valuable gold coins as a substitute. "Meg looked into Amy's eyes and shook his head seriously.
"Really?" Amy's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened to Meg's words, but she still wasn't confident.
"Of course it's true. Amy has never seen gold coins before. This is Father's fault, because Father didn't even earn a single gold coin before. If I have to say who's wrong, then it's that I didn't tell Amy that silver coins, gold coins, and dragon coins can be used to buy things just like copper coins. I should reflect on myself. I hope our little darling Amy can forgive me. "Meg nodded with a self-blaming expression on his face.
"No, how can you blame Lord Father? Lord Father treats Xiao Mi the best." Amy shook her head vigorously and lowered her eyes. She said with a little grievance, "Teacher Luna taught me before, but … but so many copper coins turned into so few gold coins. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Besides, there were too many things to change, so …"
Meg's eyebrows trembled, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Amy's explanation was really too cute, but looking at the little girl's timid eyes, he felt a little sad.
The external environment had a great influence on a person's character, especially for people like Amy who were slowly shaping their three views and forming habits.
Her previous life had been too poor, and the humans and elves despised half-elves, which made her feel a little inferior and lacking in self-confidence.
Fortunately, Amy was still young, and this kind of mentality was just a budding bud. Meg believed that he could slowly help her adjust and become a confident little girl.
"In the future, I can't let Amy be mocked and looked down upon by others. I have to treat her like the apple of my eye and raise her into a happy little princess," Meg told himself in his mind.
However, when it came to arithmetic, the standard of mathematics in this world was indeed worrying. It was even worse than the standard of foreign people in his previous life. Even adding and subtracting numbers with more than two digits took a long time.
In this world where culture was not widespread, this was not a strange thing. But Meg suddenly had some ideas about how to build Amy's confidence.
China was naturally one of the countries with the highest standard of mathematics on Earth, and it was the nine-nine multiplication table that made a great contribution.
Meg reached out to rub Amy's hair, put the small bowl in front of her, and said with a smile, "Eat this bowl of fried rice first. After eating, Father will teach you a kind of arithmetic formula. After you learn it, you will be better than those students studying in Chaos School, and it will be easier for you to collect money in the future."
"Really? Better than those big brothers and sisters? " Amy's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Meg in disbelief. In her eyes, those big brothers and sisters who sat in the classroom and studied with Teacher Luna every day were super awesome.
"Of course it's true. When has Father ever lied to you?" Meg nodded.
Amy nodded and said seriously, "Mm-hmm, Father has never lied to Amy. Amy will learn seriously." Then she began to eat obediently.
Meg looked at Amy, who was eating cutely, and picked up his spoon to eat as well. The nine-nine multiplication table was a divine weapon. If Amy mastered it, it would be easy for her to bully those children who were still counting with their fingers. The first step to boosting her confidence would start from here.
After dinner, Mag cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen. He looked at the greasy plates in the sink, and didn't want to wash them. After a moment of hesitation, he asked the system in his mind, "System, do you sell dishwashers?"
"This system does not sell electrical appliances," the system replied.
"Just tell me, are you selling or not? I will pay. "Meg pursed his lips.
The system was silent for a moment, and then it gave a price in words: "Basic dishwasher. Can wash five plates and ten spoons at a time. Price: 3 gold coins."
"This system is really greedy for money. It has no principles at all..." Meg rolled his eyes. He had seen through the system's bottom line. However, the price was still acceptable. He said without hesitation, "So cheap? Then I want one. Deduct the money from my credit limit first. "
"Payment successful. Dishwasher in place." Another row of words floated by.
Mag looked at the bright silver dishwasher on the stove, and his eyes lit up. This thing looked very high-tech. He opened the lid, and placed all the plates and spoons in the sink into it. He pressed the "on" button, and the lid opened automatically in less than a minute. The plates inside had already become shiny and new.
Modern technology was really convenient. Meg put the bowls and spoons away with satisfaction. Amy stood at the kitchen door and looked at Meg expectantly. "Father, what are we going to learn?"
"The multiplication table. Amy, wait for me. I will go get a pen and paper. Today, I will try to memorize a few lines." He went upstairs to get a piece of paper and a pen, and then sat down at the table to write down the multiplication table in the form of a ladder. "Thank you, Boss," Mag said, and then went upstairs to get a piece of paper and a pen.
The language of this world was naturally different from the language on Earth. However, the common language was similar to the oracle bone script. The numbers were the same as the Arabic numerals. The development of history always had some surprising similarities.
Meg had inherited the memory of his predecessor, so he had a complete grasp of this world's language.
"Father's handwriting is so beautiful." Amy was watching Meg write the multiplication table. She clapped her hands and praised him. She looked at Meg with admiration. She used to think that Teacher Luna's handwriting was the best, but her father's handwriting was even better than Teacher Luna's. It was as if they were carved.
Meg was praised by Amy and looked at with admiration. When he was young, he was forced to practice writing for an hour every day. Suddenly, he felt that it was worth it. His good handwriting was finally appreciated by someone. He smiled and said, "Then when Father has time, can he teach me how to write?"
