Chapter 81 Walnuts replenish the brain
The name of the Mo family once again spread throughout Chang'an City, but this time Mo Dun did passively become famous.
Zu Mingjun was injured and bedridden, and in the midst of boredom, he was inspired and suddenly integrated the parabola.
"No wonder later generations often say that if you want to succeed, you must endure loneliness," Merton said.
Although in Merton's view, the parabola is still very rudimentary, with only positive coordinates, starting points, and vertices, plus the axis of symmetry added by the ancestor Mingjun's inspiration.
However, in this era, it is already a great achievement, and after the ancestral family got the news, they were ecstatic, and immediately rushed from Fan Yang's hometown to many old men with gray hair.
The grandparents united with a series of arithmetic celebrities in Chang'an City, and solemnly announced in Chang'an City that the grandparents' son-in-law, Zumingjun, had studied the parabola.
In an era when arithmetic research was almost stagnant, it was already a great event in the Chang'an literary circle, and the name of the ancestral family once again caused a sensation in Chang'an City.
"The ancestral family really deserves to be a family of arithmetic! Its ancestor Chongzhi calculated pi, and today's descendants have developed a parabola. ”
"Who said that the ancestral family's embellishment is obscure, and it is better not to learn it? In my opinion, that's not at their level. ”
"I heard that Zu Mingjun is only a fifteen-year-old boy, and in time, Zu Mingjun will definitely be able to compare with his ancestor Zu Chongzhi."
"But how can I say that I heard that the reason why Zu Mingjun was able to study the parabola was because the Mo family smashed it out with walnuts." Someone said mysteriously.
"Impossible!" The listener's mouth opened wide in surprise!
"I have friends in Guozijian, this matter is not a secret in Guozijian at all, they all know about this matter, and they have also seen Mo Jiazi help Zu Mingjun demonstrate the parabola with Keju."
All of a sudden, the rumors of Chang'an City were boiling, and Mo Jiazi woke up the ancestor Mingjun and suddenly called the focus of Chang'an City's gossip.
When someone personally asked about the matter of the grandparents, the gray-haired patriarch vetoed it!
"Zu Mingjun did have an epiphany from the walnuts thrown by Mo Jiazi, but he was not woken up by Mo Jiazi with walnuts."
The words of the patriarch of the ancestral family confirmed that the Mo family's throwing walnuts was indeed true, but more people were not willing to accept this prosaic story at all, how could the legendary story of the Mo family's smashing of the ancestor wake up the ancestor was attractive.
"If I am also smashed by the Mo family, maybe I will be able to open my mind, maybe I can develop oxygen overnight, and the family wealth will be mine!" Someone said whimsically.
"Cut! As far as you, it doesn't matter if you can wake up with a stone! ”
However, there are still people who don't give up, and often dangle in front of the Mo family, which makes Mo Dun nervous, and directly inserts his hand into his arms, and these people leave disappointed.
"According to me, it doesn't have to be the walnut that woke up, it must be the walnut to replenish the brain, which will make the ancestor Mingjun inspirational and have an epiphany parabola."
"Yes, yes, Mo Jiazi must love to eat walnuts, so there are always walnuts at home, think about it, how smart Mo Jiazi is, invented the secret technique of live fish, Quyuan plow, cocoon, artificial incubation technology, where does it come from so much brainpower, it must be made up by eating walnuts." A black-clad scribe from another angle, suddenly felt that he had discovered an astonishing truth.
"Ahh What are you going to do! The black-clothed scribe hurriedly asked when he saw his companion running out.
"Ahh No, I'm going to buy some walnuts too! The voice of his companion came from afar.
"Wait for me! I feel like I'm going to make it up too! The black-clothed scribe hurriedly chased after him.
The rumor of walnuts supplementing the brain soon spread throughout Chang'an City. All of a sudden, even walnuts were selling like crazy.
"Being smashed by the Mo family, maybe the risk is too great, maybe it's stupid, but it's always wrong to eat some walnuts to make up for it." Many people thought of it.
Many children in the family and parents who are not good at school have bought walnuts to supplement their children.
Even now, if you go to someone's house to give a gift, if you give a basket of walnuts, the host will immediately treat you as a guest, and you will be entertained with good wine and food.
"Click, click!"
The three guards smashed the walnuts desperately, and Qin Huaiyu on the side picked up a handful of walnut kernels and stuffed them into their mouths. Soon the walnut shells were all over the place.
The hot air balloon business they had high hopes for fell into a bottleneck, and they encountered a big problem, air leakage, and it happened that the rumors of walnuts to replenish the brain were rising in Chang'an City, and the three decided to make up for more brain power.
It's no wonder that the three of them are so anxious, they and Zu Mingjun got Merton's guidance at the same time, but it didn't take long for Zu Mingjun to become famous alone.
And the three of them made no progress at all, except for expanding the Kong Ming Lantern many times.
And they stubbornly insisted that this was an opportunity for them to make a name for themselves in history, and they just invited their own craftsmen to help, and resolutely refused to let Merton help.
"Do you have an idea?" Qin Huaiyu turned his head and asked Cheng Chumo?
Cheng Chumo grabbed a handful of walnut kernels and stuffed them into his mouth, thought about it, and shook his head.
Qin Huaiyu was so angry that his nose was crooked, there is no way, what do you think.
Seeing that the walnut shell had been lost, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them still had nothing to do about the hot air balloon leakage.
"It must be those walnut merchants who are propagating indiscriminately, Lao Tzu has eaten so many walnuts, it's useless!" Qin Huaiyu kicked the pile of walnut shells in front of him to pieces.
Merton rolled his eyes and said, "Walnut kernels just look like brains, where can they grow brains, don't listen to those unscrupulous businessmen." ”
"Isn't it useful? Didn't you eat more walnuts to become so smart? Yu Chi Baolin Weng said that he was usually the most stupid, and he was the most enthusiastic about ways to become smarter.
He bought these walnuts, and as soon as he bought them, he bought three hemp bags, and the three of them only consumed about ten catties in an afternoon.
"I just loved walnuts at that time, do you want to say that they are useful, there is still a little bit of them?" Merton thought for a moment and said.
The three of them suddenly pulled their ears seriously and listened to it.
"Does it matter if you stop starvation?" Merton said jokingly.
"Get out!"
The three of them shouted angrily in unison.
"Merton, you can smash me too, and see if I can make a hot air balloon with inspiration!" Cheng Chu gritted his teeth and raised his head generously.
"Your skull is too hard, it's just an elm head, it definitely won't work with walnuts, it won't wake you up! It is estimated that there is a glimmer of possibility with a brick! Morton shook the green brick in his hand and looked at the three of them with a wicked smile.
Cheng Chu jumped up and dodged like a silent flyer, he is not smart, but he is not stupid, this brick goes down, it is hard to say whether he can smash the smart, but the head is blooming, that is certain.
"What the hell can I do to keep it from leaking?" Qin Huaiyu sighed and said,
This is related to their opportunity to leave a name in history and their status in Chang'an.
"If you want to fix an air leak, maybe someone can help you." Merton couldn't help but think of the old farmer next to the Ink Hospital, who was able to collect a bottle of unknown gas.
