Dong's Tea House, in the tool room of the tea house.

"Make five frames, three long and two short, and then join them together with mortise and tenon joints according to the pattern I drew..."

When it came to the production stage of the abacus, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally did not need to take action. In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan knew nothing about carpentry. Since there was an old carpenter who had been involved in carpentry for more than ten years, he naturally had to take advantage of it.

In the tool room, there were not only Zhu Xiuyuan and two carpenters, but also three spectators——

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, and Qiu Wen.

Whenever Zhu Xiuyuan spoke to remind the carpenter how to operate and what he needed to pay attention to, the three masters and servants represented by Dong Shuzhen all raised their eyes to look at Zhu Xiuyuan, the curiosity in their eyes gradually getting stronger.

"Okay, uncle..."

The carpenters immediately agreed and began to plan with their planes. The carpenters had various types of planes, including flat planes, double planes, single line planes, clearing planes, concave planes, large line planes, etc., and there are countless others.

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, and Qiu Wen had never seen such a thing before, so they curiously stared at the various planes used by the carpenters, and were stunned.

After the carpenters skillfully made the five frames, they followed Zhu Xiuyuan's instructions and used various chisels to carve out corresponding mortise and tenon structures on the head and tail of the five frames.

Chisels come in different sizes, with different blade lengths and thicknesses, and there are dozens of them...

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu and Qiu Wen, the three masters and servants, saw that the carpenters were skilled in using various chisels and quickly carved out the mortise and tenon structure on the wooden frame. It was square and very beautiful in shape. Their little mouths gradually opened wide.

Staring unblinkingly.

"Madam?" Zhu Xiuyuan touched Dong Shuzhen's head and smiled. When Dong Shuzhen turned to look at him blankly, Zhu Xiuyuan said again: "You are stupid, is this?"

Dong Shuzhen smiled stupidly and ignored Zhu Xiuyuan's hand touching her head. After laughing, she continued to watch the two carpenters at work.

The two carpenters... always felt uncomfortable. Being stared at by the second lady like this always made them feel like when they first became carpenter apprentices, with their master monitoring every move...

The girl Xia Wu not only looked at it, she was even curious about the carpenter's various tools, such as planes, chisels, ink fountains, etc. She picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully. Dong Shuzhen also leaned over from time to time, as if looking at a rare treasure, turning over the

Come and tune in to see...

The eyes of the two carpenters jumped, but... they were just carpenters, how could they dare to stop the second young lady and the second young lady's maid. So, the two carpenters glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely from time to time, probably wanting to ask his uncle to speak out and discipline him.

Your wife and maid.

However, apart from making fun of Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan spent all his time trying to find the memories of his previous life——

Other time travelers could instantly recall all their past life memories and knowledge, but when it came to him, it was a bit slower. Zhu Xiuyuan had to rack his brains before he could remember it.

Is this the so-called...good things come in a long way?!

Zhu Xiuyuan's memory of the structure of the abacus is relatively deep, so he quickly remembered all the details. This was mainly due to the fact that when he was a child, the school had an abacus class, and for this reason, the school ordered abacus. Later, it was shown in various film and television dramas

In the store, you can often see the shopkeeper looking at the account book and fiddling with the abacus.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan is quite familiar with the structure of the abacus.

However, the abacus formula... I have really forgotten all about this thing. I did learn it when I was in elementary school, but after learning it, I didn't use it. It would be strange not to forget it.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought hard, searched his intestines and stomach, spent countless brain cells, searching for past life memories...naturally he "ignored" the hidden eye prompts of the two carpenters.

"Uncle, the frame is ready. Please take a look. Is it like this?" the two carpenters asked tiredly.

"Yes, that's about it. Next, you will make these two things, thin wooden strips, and these small beads." Zhu Xiuyuan came to his senses and showed two more drawings to the two carpenters.

The two carpenters nodded immediately and began to work.

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, and Qiu Wen also stretched their necks and came over to look at the two pictures displayed by Zhu Xiuyuan. Especially Qiu Wen, she was right next to Zhu Xiuyuan, so her little head came over and almost got in.

Zhu Xiuyuan is in his arms...

The stupid little maid didn't notice it at all. She moved her little mouth slowly, eating something unknown, just like a rabbit's mouth.

Xia Wu grinned, grabbed Qiu Wen's shoulders with both hands, and pulled her back hard.

"Xia Wu, why are you pulling me?" Qiu Wen couldn't help but question Xia Wu after being pulled behind.

"You..." Xia Wu looked at the unaware young lady and uncle, as well as the two carpenters, and whispered something in Qiu Wen's ear.

"Ah!" After hearing this, Qiu Wen seemed to have noticed what was wrong just now, and Xiao Yuan's face turned red at a visible speed.

It is said that the carpentry skills of these two carpenters are very exquisite. Even with the presence of the "big lightbulb" of the second lady and the troublemaker of the second lady's maid, their skills have not been greatly affected.

Soon, dozens of small wooden sticks that were thinner than chopsticks were made.

Dong Shuzhen looked at this small wooden stick and didn't feel anything at all. However, when the carpenter started to make the flat, tire-like wooden beads, Dong Shuzhen's eyes immediately lit up and she stared at the carpenter's hands...

…

When the first wooden bead was made, the two carpenters placed it on the table and then made the next one.

However, not long after, the two carpenters' brows twitched, their movements paused, and then they smiled helplessly and continued to work hard.

Why? Because Dong Shuzhen couldn't hold back her curiosity. When the two carpenters and her husband weren't paying attention, she secretly reached out and took the wooden bead in her hand. She turned sideways and turned it over to look at it...

Zhu Xiuyuan really didn't notice, but the two carpenters really noticed it, but they were the second young ladies. They didn't dare to scold or speak, and they even pretended not to see anything... Oh my God, they didn't dare to speak.

So sad!

The two carpenters had long heard that the second young lady was naughty and playful, and was very troublesome. The uncle had also been pitied by them, the servants of the Dong family. Hey, he had such a naughty lady in the stall.

Some endured it.

However, the two carpenters disagreed with this statement, because according to what they saw, my uncle did not suffer at all, but they were the ones who really suffered!

Not long after, the two carpenters made another wooden bead. However, when they started to make the third one, their brows jumped again because the newly made wooden bead was secretly stolen by the second lady’s maid.

Taken away...
