Chapter Twenty-Six: Arithmetic Answers
"Shhhh Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's too fast, isn't it?"
"This young man can't do it. ”
"The second question is obviously much more difficult than the first question, and he actually answered it so quickly, is the answer really two thousand and thirty-three silver coins?"
The crowd looked at each other in amazement, and at the same time was very suspicious. It's really that Ye Xing's speed of answering questions is too fast, even the best bookkeeper is probably difficult to calculate in such a short time.
"This speed...... If it's true, it's too ......" The shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang looked very solemn, and hurriedly said to the bookkeeper at each counter: "You all stop your work for the time being, start calculating this question immediately, and tell me as soon as you calculate the answer." ”
Suddenly, the entire money village was filled with the sound of 'crackling' and 'crackling' dialing the abacus. Each bookkeeper devoted himself to arithmetic.
The shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang looked at Ye Xing tightly, and reasoned to tell him that this young man's answer was nonsense, because it was really unreasonable to come up with an answer in such a short time. Then, his intuition told him that the answer given by the young man was probably true. Because of the first question before, this young man came up with the answer in such a short time, and it is difficult to guarantee that the second question is the same. At this moment, the eyes of the shopkeeper of Jincai Qian Zhuang no longer have half a look of contempt, and they are very solemn.
"Fake, it should be fake. If it is true, then the number of spells is too terrible, and he will definitely be pulled into my gold and wealth bank, and it is worth the big price. The shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang secretly made up his mind. It is important to know that a good bookkeeper is very important for the bank, and the bank has a huge amount of money data to be counted every day of the month. If the bookkeeper's ability is not up to par, and the amount of money is counted incorrectly from time to time, then it will bring immeasurable losses to the bank. Therefore, the competition for talents of Mr. Accounts is also very fierce.
"Crackling!"
"Crackle!"
As time passed, many people held their breath, staring at the calculations of the various bookkeepers, waiting for them to announce the results.
"Crackling!"
After a while, the bookkeeper at counter four suddenly stopped his calculations, his expression excited, and his face was a little flushed with excitement.
"Worked it out, it worked out, haha, I figured it out. The bookkeeper was overjoyed.
"What's the answer?" asked the treasurer of Jincai Qianzhuang hurriedly.
The eyes of the crowd immediately turned to the bookkeeper at the fourth counter.
"Hehe, the answer is not two thousand and thirty-three silver coins at all, the correct answer should be three hundred and fifty gold coins. The bookkeeper at the fourth counter said triumphantly, with two swords-of-eight beards and two curls, enjoying the feeling of being in the limelight. His eyes also glanced at Ye Xing over there slightly defiantly.
"The correct answer is actually three hundred and fifty silver coins!"
"There is such a big gap between these two answers, which one is true?"
"I think the bookkeeper at counter four is right, this young man here is still too young. ”
"That's not necessarily, I think this young man ......."
The crowd exchanged heads and discussions. The money village is noisy and lively.
"The fourth account office of my Jincai Qian Zhuang has calculated that the answer is three hundred and fifty silver coins. Hehe, little brother, what do you think?" the shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang looked at Ye Xing with a smile and asked.
"Careless!" Ye Xing said lightly.
The smile on the face of the shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang couldn't help but stiffen, seeing Ye Xing so calm and calm, he also had a little drum in his heart.
"What an arrogant boy, when the old man started to do the bookkeeping, you were still a toddler. The young man dared to assert that the old man was careless. The bookkeeper at counter four said angrily.
"Okay, stop arguing, wait for the results of the others to come out. The shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, everyone began to wait impatiently for the results.
"Crackling!"
More than a dozen accounts in the money bank were doing their best to calculate, and the abacus crackled.
After a long time.
My answer is two thousand and seventy-eight silver coins. The bookkeeper at counter three exhaled a long breath, his expression a hint of exhaustion and a bit of joy and accomplishment.
"Lao Wu, you miscalculated, how could it be more than two thousand silver coins, how can there be so many, it's too exaggerated. The eight-character bookkeeper at the fourth counter screamed.
"What an exaggeration, it was originally two thousand and seventy-eight silver coins. The bookkeeper at the third counter said slightly angrily: "You said I miscalculated, so what is your answer?"
"My answer is three hundred and fifty silver coins. The bookkeeper at the fourth counter said proudly, and his tone was very confident.
"What? three hundred and fifty silver coins?" the bookkeeper at counter No. 3 couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly thought of something, and laughed.
"Old Wu, what are you laughing at! The bookkeeper at the fourth counter was very annoyed.
"Three hundred and fifty silver coins, hahaha, you can calculate the loss, Lao Qiu, you must be too careless. Nine hundred and sixteen silver coins plus seventeen gold coins, minus five hundred and eighty-three silver coins, how could it be three hundred and fifty silver coins. Seventeen gold coins alone is equal to 1,700 silver coins, haha, Lao Qiu, you must have counted seventeen gold coins as seventeen silver coins, hahaha!"
"Uh......" Mr. Qiu, the account room at the No. 4 counter, was stunned for a moment, his face was 'swish', and he was flushed red, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
The face of the shopkeeper of Jincai Qianzhuang is very ugly, carelessness is a common thing in the accounting room, even if the arithmetic is good, the accounting clerk will occasionally make careless mistakes, but now there are so many onlookers, in front of so many people, the image of Jincai Qianzhuang has never been very good. In fact, the bookkeeper at counter No. 4 was too nervous and too eager to perform. The more anxious and hurried people are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
At this moment, the Jincai Village was surprisingly quiet, only the crackling sound of the abacus ticking, and everyone was waiting for the arithmetic results of the other bookkeepers. After deducting the wrong answer of three hundred and fifty, there are currently two answers, one is Ye Xing's two thousand and thirty-three, and the other is the two thousand and seventy-eight of Mr. Counter No. 3. The closer the announcement of the results became, the more anticipatory the crowd became.
After a few more moments, the bookkeepers at the counter stopped their arithmetic one after another, and announced the results of their hard work.
"Two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" said the bookkeeper at counter nine.
"Two thousand and fifty-six silver coins!" counter seven.
"Two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" counter ten.
"Two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" Counter No. 1.
"My answer is two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" counter six.
"Phew, it's finally been calculated, two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" said the bookkeeper at counter eight.
"Same, two thousand and thirty-three silver coins!" Counter Five.
"I'm two thousand and thirty-three silver coins, too!" said the bookkeeper at the eleventh counter.
As the answers were announced, the crowd was in an uproar.
