Chapter 5 Gambling

"What's the kidding, little brat? The rules of our pawnshop are only for dead things, not for living people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf you are really short of money to spend, you might as well stick a straw in your neck, and then stand at the gate of the city, and someone will buy you. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Song Xing didn't take the shopkeeper's sarcasm to heart, and said with a smile: "I, Song Xing, am just here to be myself, not to sell myself." In this way, shopkeeper, I see that you know the goods with both eyes, but you don't know people, so I will open the price. ”

"It's useless what price you offer, this pawnshop is not a living thing, this is the rule!" The shopkeeper was obviously impatient, and his tone was cold and cold, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Song Xing pinched the bridge of his nose, shrugged his shoulders, and said disappreciatively: "The rules are all set by people, and since they are set by people, they have to be different from person to person." Since the opening of Pangu, the rules are unknown, and now what is left? When Liu Bang congratulated him on his birthday, he was still able to use empty words as ten thousand gold, and now I am a big living person in Song Xing standing here, is it better than an empty word? ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and continued, "My conditions are very simple, you will always pay me, and after ten days, I will redeem myself with two dollars, and if I can't do it, I will work in your store for free for three months." ”

"Three months of free work? You might as well say that it is more practical to eat and drink for nothing for three months, depending on what you can do at a young age? Dare to compare with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, it is really not to know the sky and the earth! The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said with great disdain.

Song Xing's expression was closed, and he sneered: "What can I do?" You are also open to business, so naturally you need to calculate. When it comes to arithmetic and accounting, in this Dengzhou Mansion, I say second, no one dares to claim to be first, what do you say I can do? ”

"Anyone can blow cowhide, but if you don't succeed, you have to rely on real skills, so let me ask you, what is thirty-seven times seventy-three?" The shopkeeper's abacus was slippery, and when he heard Song Xing say this, he naturally wanted to come up with a question to test him.

Song Xing's standard science and engineering man, mathematics is naturally not bad, not to mention that his work also involves a large number of mathematical model calculations, and his mind turned slightly, so he said lightly: "Isn't it two thousand seven hundred and one?" What's so hard about that? ”

As soon as Song Xing said the answer, the shopkeeper hurriedly used the abacus to crackle there, and when he calculated the final answer as quickly as possible, he was stunned, you must know that the question just now was what he said casually, and Song Xing also answered casually.

Uncle Tian was originally standing listlessly behind Song Xing, listening to the shopkeeper's sarcasm, his old face was swollen and purple, and he really wished that there was a crack in the ground to get into it, and he would be quiet.

Now looking at the shopkeeper's expression, knowing that Song Xing's answer was right, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, stretched out his big hand like iron tongs, grabbed Song Xing's delicate arm violently, and kept shaking, "Baby, have you read?" Do you count? ”

"Big ...... Uncle...... Pine...... Let go...... Hurt...... It hurts......" Song Xing only felt that his two arms seemed to have a piercing pain, and he even stammered when he spoke.

Seeing that the beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead, Uncle Tian quickly let go of his hands and said embarrassedly: "Baby, don't blame Uncle, Uncle was too excited just now, too excited!" ”

Song Xing pinched his arms together, and when the pain subsided slightly, he said to the shopkeeper: "Come and don't be rude, so let's do it, I'll also come to the debut question and see if you can figure it out." ”

The shopkeeper saw that he was just a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid, so how deep could the question be? Naturally, I didn't take it to heart, my eyes were clear, and I said very impatiently: "If you want to get out, you can get out quickly, and you can leave quickly after you get out!" ”

Song Xing grinned and said unhurriedly: "My question is actually very simple, that is, there is a fishing boat outside Dengzhou City, and when the boat is driving in the sea, it finds a leak, and in addition to the stagnant water in the cabin, there is also a steady stream of water pouring in. At this time, if it is ten people to scoop water, it will take an hour and a half, and if it is five people to scoop water, it will take four hours, so how many people will be needed to scoop up the water in one hour? ”

When he put the abacus in the swing, he found that he didn't know where to start, and the beads of sweat suddenly rolled down from his forehead, and his hands kept wiping sweat, and he stood there very embarrassed.

Song Xing hadn't achieved his goal yet, so he was naturally unwilling to let him go, and continued with a smile: "It seems that this question is still a bit deep for you, so let's say a simple one, two, three, four, five times five, three, two, two, two, one, if you don't need to calculate the chips and abacus, then even if you win, you don't have to give me a penny today, ten days later, I will pay you back as usual." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Song Xing say this, his face suddenly turned pale with fright, he knew that he knew that he was two catties, and if he multiplied two or five, he would play for a long time even if he planned to make a plate, and he would never be able to calculate it without the abacus.

Song Xing looked at the shopkeeper's embarrassed appearance, and laughed to himself in his heart.

Although this "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Method" has appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, Arabic numerals were introduced in the early Ming Dynasty, and the vertical operation of multiplication should be followed. I let him not have to calculate and calculate, then he can only do mental arithmetic, which is really a bit of a bully.

If you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat, the ancients' thinking is still relatively simple, although the two did not have a clear bet, but since the shopkeeper has a problem, Song Xing also took the move, and in the hearts of everyone, it is a gambling contract.

"Smack!"

The shopkeeper threw a string of copper coins on the counter, and with a dark face, he was about to shout a few words, he had thrown that person to the guy's house just now, and now he could only find some face verbally.

Song Xing knew that they didn't have any good words in this industry, and anything would be added to the front of their mouths with a broken word or a bad word, just now he took himself seriously, and it would not be good if he added a "bad person" in front, so he immediately smiled and said: "Convenience with others is convenience with yourself, and some words are better to keep in your heart!" ”

Looking at the little boy in front of him, the shopkeeper's heart can be described as mixed, as the shopkeeper of the largest pawnshop in Dengzhou Mansion, he is famous for his careful budgeting, but he didn't expect to lose in his hands today, and he was inexplicably defeated.

Different from the shopkeeper's frustration, every cell in Uncle Tian's body is smiling, he is very happy today, very happy, that feeling is like picking up a treasure by himself.

Song Xing didn't stay in the pawnshop for a long time, after all, the people who came here were more or less embarrassed, and Song Xing hadn't gossiped enough to share the embarrassment with these people.

What's more, whether others are torn clothes or torn trousers, they always have something to do, but they can only be this stinky skin, and when it comes to embarrassment, they think they are even more serious.

It has always been only two or three hundred yuan to convert money into RMB, and it is necessary to be careful in calculation.

Thousands of years ago, the Great Song Dynasty treasure Tianhua, fire trees and silver flowers, that is a horizontal contrast. In Song Xing's eyes, it is extremely general, not to mention tall things like toilet paper, even there is no soap for washing clothes.

Although I want to buy some daily necessities, there are not many things I can buy, I can't buy toilet paper, straw paper is a must, and wiping my butt with bamboo chips is still difficult for Song Xing. If you can't buy soap, pancreas is also a must.

As for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, I bought some of everything, and I originally planned to buy an iron pot again, but when I asked the price, I still thought that the broken iron pot at home was cute.

He came to the blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to make a mold out of yellow clay, cast an iron pipe about five inches long and thin with his thumb, and under his guidance, create a spring and firing pin that was not very good.

When he was a child, Song Xing used to use a bicycle chain to get a matchstick to scare many friends, although the current industrial base is not good, and he can't make a big killer, but it is not difficult to make a scary thing.

If necessary, this thing might save lives!
