Chapter 19: Betting

Huangfu Song, who had nothing to do with himself, raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he returned to calm. His small demeanor fluctuated, as if to say: You are too ruthless!

Niu Qiqing and Yang Yuan are really ruthless, the two of them have a stack of account books, each stack is not less than one foot thick, and two stacks are two feet thick.

"Humph! Want to make things difficult for me? Am I the kind of person who makes things difficult for people? Wu Ji sneered in his heart, but his face was calm and constant, and there were no mood swings at all.

Picked up a ledger and flipped it over, the ledger was written with a brush, and the handwriting the size of a walnut was neat. It's just very messy, this kind of ledger, if it is put now, is just a running account, and it will definitely not be qualified.

After flipping through the book, Wu Ji found that there was not much content on it, mainly due to the font being too large. After flipping through several books in a row, Wu Ji came to the conclusion that the content recorded in each ledger is only one-tenth if it is replaced by a modern ledger, that is to say, two stacks of ledgers are only equivalent to a modern two-inch thick ledger, which is not much.

"Just such a small account, just come to make things difficult for me? Look down on me too much! Wu Ji's thoughts turned, ready to scare the majesty of Niu and Yang, and let them know that it was powerful.

"What's wrong? Can't count it? Niu Qiqing saw that Wu Ji was flipping through the account book, and thought that Wu Ji couldn't finish it, so he squeezed it out with words.

"I'll tell you, it's not much. We've only been there for a while, but we can do it with three stacks and four stacks. You're only two stacks, don't say you can't do it! Yang Yuan also joined the ranks of sarcasm, and couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, looking old-fashioned.

Don't you just rely on seniority? What's the big deal?

Wu Ji muttered to himself in his heart, looking at the smug look of the two, and the idea of teaching them a lesson became more firm, his eyes rolled, his voice was lengthened, and he said slowly: "Seven days, it's a little ......."

"Too short? Don't be satisfied! If it were me, it would have been done in six days, but not seven. Niu Qiqing raised his head proudly, beaming with pride.

"Seven days, that's enough to give you face! Say, can it be done? Yang Yuan's voice was raised, quite high-spirited.

"You're too anxious! Let me get to the point, I mean, seven days is too long! Wu Ji endured the amusement, and then said his intentions.

Niu Yang and the others stared at Wu Ji, and couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, they looked up to the sky and laughed.

Niu Qiqing said disdainfully: "Haha! What a crazy boy! Who do you think you are? How dare you say such arrogant words, not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue? ”

"Boy, we are very embarrassed for you, since you said it won't take so long, how much time do you need? Six days? Five days? You don't want to say you only need three or two days? Yang Yuan looked sneering, as if Wu Ji was the biggest laughing stock in the world.

"You've finally opened your mind, and you've said a human thing! I can do it in just three days! Wu Ji said coldly to Niu and Yang, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible!" Niu Yang and the others screamed in unison: "Who do you think you think?" ”

After calculating such a thick account book within three days, I have never heard of it, and I don't believe that Niu Yang and the others were killed.

"Do you know how to do mental arithmetic?" A touch of surprise flashed in the eyes of Huangfu Song, who was not in his mind, stared at Wu Ji, and asked a shocking word.

The way of mental arithmetic refers to the genius of numbers, the kind of genius who can catch up with the calculator in terms of calculation speed. This kind of genius is too simple to finish these two stacks of accounts, and he will finish it after he finishes it.

If Wu Ji is such a genius, it won't take an hour to finish these two stacks of ledgers.

Huangfu Song's words reminded Niu Yang and the others, and the two of them were taken aback, with a look of disbelief, looking at Wu Ji, looking like a ghost.

This kind of genius is too few and too few, and it is terrible to see one in a lifetime, Niu Yang and the others thought that they were lucky with shit, and they met this kind of genius as soon as they came.

"No!" Wu Ji's answer was straightforward.

"Oh!" Huangfu Song let out a faint sigh, and returned to the appearance of not caring about everything.

"I'll just say, how can a little person like you have such heavenly skills." Niu Qiqing took a long breath and said proudly.

Yang Yuan was even more desperate, put a small wooden stick in front of Wu Ji, and said in a counting: "Boy, don't say that I didn't remind you." Time waits for no one, hurry up! Hurry up, it's still too late! Don't be lazy tonight, light an oil lamp, be busy all night, and there is hope. ”

Wu Ji saw that these small wooden sticks were very smooth and shimmering, which were the calculations used by the Song Dynasty. The ancients relied on this thing to carry out a large number of calculations, which lasted for thousands of years.

Wu Ji has seen this thing in film and television dramas, but he can't use it, in his hand, it is very smooth, not rough at all, I don't know how many people have used it.

"Don't you believe me? Let's make a bet! Wu Ji only then said the real intention.

As soon as he comes, Niu Yang and the others will make things difficult for him, if they don't teach them a good lesson, they may make some trouble in the future, and they must stop their unhealthy tendencies.

"Bet?" As if they had heard the biggest joke in the world, Niu Yang and the others asked, "How can I gamble?" ”

"If I win, I'll be your big brother. I want you to do things, and you must not resist. Wu Ji said the gambling contract.

This kind of difficult thing, whether in ancient times or modern times, is often encountered, especially newcomers are easier to encounter, Wu Ji has not encountered it in another time and space, and a small lesson for the two of them is enough.

"We're going to lose?" Niu Yang and the others raised their eyebrows, full of confidence: "What if you lose?" ”

"If I lose, I won't be the master bookkeeper." Wu Ji is very crisp.

If you can't even handle this little thing, you really don't have the face to do this master book anymore.

"Good! That's it! Boy, you wait to leave! Don't think that if you read a few broken books and buy a show, it's amazing! Niu Qiqing's mouth still didn't forget to hurt Wu Ji.

Wu Ji showed a playful smile, stared at Niu Qiqing, did not speak, put the two stacks of ledgers aside, clapped his hands, walked out of the house, and walked away quickly.

"Hey, hey! This kid is a bluff! He's dragging his feet! Niu Qiqing looked at Wu Ji's back and cracked the corners of his mouth.

"No matter how long it drags on, it's only three days. Hum! Yang Yuan's face was contemptuous.

At this moment, Wu Ji turned his head and smiled at the two, which was very playful.

"He can't really do anything, does he?" Niu Yang and the two glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts.

Wu Ji got out of the county office, slightly discerned the direction, and walked up the street. Wu Ji doesn't know the way of mental arithmetic, it's not that Wu Ji has no way, he only needs to make a tool to complete it. To make this tool, you need to find a craftsman, and Wu Ji is going to find a craftsman.

The whole Guixin County is not big, just a few streets, a few alleys, Wu Ji was walking, only to hear a burst of talking.

"Good man, just have mercy on me! Lay the shop down! I can't thank you enough. ”

Wu Ji looked for prestige, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who was arching at an extremely tall man, with an anxious face.

"Shopkeeper Joe, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the blacksmith shop is of little use to us." The sturdy man was busy supporting the middle-aged man, and said with a look of regret: "Shopkeeper Qiao, you know, our heroes of Qiyun Club have a hand in bending bows and archery, but they don't know anything about the way of striking iron, you are looking for the wrong place." ”

"Good man, my father is seriously ill and urgently needs silver for treatment, and in the county, except for you Qiyun Society, there is really no one who can get so much silver." The shopkeeper looked anxious, sweating on his forehead, and tears rolled in his eyes.

It can be seen that he is not lying, if it weren't for his father's serious illness, he would never be so anxious.

The good man sighed: "Shopkeeper Qiao, don't say it, we can't ask for the shop, and it's useless to ask for it." Otherwise, for the sake of your filial piety, I will lend you two taels of silver to cure your father's illness first. ”

"Thank you! Two taels of silver is a lot, but I don't know how much silver my father's illness costs. Shopkeeper Qiao looked grateful, but hesitated and said: "My father's illness is a chronic illness, and this attack will cost a lot of money!" ”

"Shopkeeper Joe, I can't help it! I want to help you, but I have to do that, don't I? The good man sighed again, looking helpless.

This is the big truth, helping others depends on ability, and no one can do anything beyond their own ability. Although these words were a little harsh, they were very real, and Wu Ji couldn't help but have a good impression of this good man, and looked at it a few more times.

Where this hero is located, it is a small courtyard, and a large plaque is hung with the words "Qiyun Society" written on it. Beside this hero, there were more than a dozen sturdy men, all of them sturdy, with bows and arrows on their backs.

Wu Ji's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I can make the bomb now, and the customers are ready-made." The blacksmith's shop, I'm using it, it's all ready-made, I just need to plate it down. Well, that's it! ”
