It's not like every era knows how to use tools to measure stuff in the end of the day, that's the society the author wrote, you can't expect everything in fiction to follow the history of reality.a tablespoon of salt is ALSO basic arithmetic, your point?
and for your information, peasants are uneducated and not dumb(well mostly). Something as basic as addition and substraction is a common knowledge in each household. How else they count money? how else they count how many cows and crops they have? How DO they count their harvest? How bakeries back then teaching the recipes.
If you think about it, people back then are amazing. How else do they discovered how to brew a wine? how to make a yeast? Hell, they even make TOFU! Which is time consuming and hard to make if you make yourself at home.
And so so so much more.
Uneducated yes, Dumb? not really.
