Gu Xin knew how to count. She could count up to 10,000, which was what her grandfather had taught her.
However, she only knew how to count. She didn't know how much one tael of silver was. The transmigrator trio thought that she knew, so they didn't tell her specifically.
"Xin Xin, one tael of silver is one thousand taels. Do you know how much your father owes?" Grandma Gu asked.
"Three hundred taels," Gu Xin answered without thinking. After answering, she calculated in her heart, and then her smiling face fell.
Her family only sold a little more than four taels a day.
Five days had passed since her father mentioned ten days. There were still five days left.
To earn three hundred taels in five days, one had to earn sixty taels a day. Ten cakes cost four taels of silver, and one hundred and fifty cakes cost sixty taels of silver.
Cracking egg whites was very laborious. One could not make one hundred and fifty cakes a day.
