Chapter Eighty-Three: Fishing for Gold Medals in a Pot II
readx;
When Xu Qian beckoned, a maid brought out a plate behind her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The plate was covered with a red cloth, and something seemed to be round under the cloth. Sure enough, Xu Qian took the plate and lifted the hijab to reveal a bulbous stone full of tiny holes.
Two maids next to her brought a table and placed it in front of her. At this time, she placed the round stone, which was full of dense holes, on the table, and said, "Whoever can thread this thread through one end of this arbitrary hole and out of another hole will be considered to have answered the first question correctly." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and the discussion exploded.
"Let's see if these holes make sense." There is humanity.
The scholar surnamed Liu picked up the stone first, looked at it carefully, and said, "I can't see the light from the hole." ”
Xu Qian said with a smile: "The hole inside is tortuous and curved, it is a labyrinth, Liu Langjun doesn't need to look at it." ”
"However, since the hole inside is curved, how can such a soft silk thread pass through? I'm afraid that no matter how clever a woman is, she can't do it. Xu Hongrong stroked his beard and asked.
"You can't answer?" Xu Qian asked with a smile, in fact, she didn't know the answer herself.
"Since everyone can't answer it, Xu Niangzi will change the next question." The Tuyuhun youth said.
The other literati in the burrow couldn't find a way to crack it after thinking about it, so they had to sigh helplessly and let Xu Qian come up with the next question.
Guo Shan did sneer: "Why is this question difficult? Just because people can't do it doesn't mean that insects and ants can't do it. ”
After that, I told the bereaved love of the side room. Fang Yiai smiled, turned around and asked the maid how to get to the backyard.
In the confusion of everyone, Fang Yiai soon came back, holding a fat and big horse ant in his hand that he didn't know where to find. Everyone was stunned, but they were suspicious, can this really solve the problem?
Sure enough, Guo Shan tied the silk thread to the horse ant's leg and put it into the hole to urge it to go straight.
Everyone held their breath and wanted to see if Guo Shan's method could really succeed.
Facing the inquiring gazes of Li Tai and others, Guo Shan shook his head, in fact, he himself was not very sure. But come to think of it, the allusion of Princess Wencheng's trilemma marriage envoy has been circulated for so long, and there is such a topic in it, and Lu Dongzan is so broken. So, think this method is feasible, right?
I only saw that the horse ant stopped appearing after entering the hole, but I saw the silk thread tied to its leg slowly 'walking' into the hole.
"It's out." Someone had sharp eyes and shouted.
Everyone looked at it together, and sure enough, they saw that the horse ant that had been put in by Guo Shan from the hole in the east of the face was now coming out of the hole in the west of the face, and it was tied with the silk thread on its legs.
Guo Shan smiled and said, "Am I answering this question correctly?" ”
Xu Qian glanced at Guo Shan, and then said with a smile: "Guo Gongzi is talented, this problem is broken." ”
"Do you have anything to say about the barbarians?" Someone couldn't help but ask the Tuyuhun youth angrily.
Although the Tuyuhun young man's face was pale, he couldn't help but ridicule the elated crowd: "It's a child who answers this question, not you." ”
Everyone didn't know how to answer when they heard the words, but the Tuyuhun youth smiled disdainfully: "Besides, how can a question judge a person's talent?" ”
Guo Shan laughed when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then I'll see how many of the next four questions you can answer correctly." He turned around and said to Xu Qian: "Please ask Mrs. Xu to ask the question." ”
Xu Qian smiled and said, "The second question is a question and answer question. The questions are also simple, but they are not easy to answer. ”
She said, "If you are not sure, please write down the answer on paper." ”
Then I heard her ask, "Why does a cow have two ears, two eyes, and a mouth?" ”
Everyone was stunned, and someone muttered softly: "All things are divided into yin and yang, and heaven has given living beings ears, eyes, mouths and noses since the beginning, this is the basic, why ask why?" ”
Fang Yiai was more direct, and couldn't help but say: "A cow is a cow, if there are no two eyes, will there be three?" This question is also too strange to ask. ”
Li Tai asked his sister Li Liqing, "Can my sister guess this answer?" ”
Li Lizhi smiled bitterly and shook her head, obviously feeling very strange.
Everyone looked at a few people in the examination room and found that like them, several people in the examination room were looking at each other. However, after several people looked at each other, they all took up a pen and wrote the answer on paper.
After receiving the answers of several people, Xu Qian read them with a smile. Then he said: "The answer is not correct. ”
She knew the answer to this question, and the answer was also what Guo Shan told her when she asked Guo Shan. At this moment, when she asked everyone about this question, she felt that many people were going to fall into Guo Shan's puzzle trap.
"Since it's not right, then this question is considered a job?" The young man of Tuyuhun breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was not the only one who did not answer.
Xu Qian smiled, looked at Guo Shandao, and said, "Lord Xiao Guo refuses to write to answer, do you want to say the answer at the end?" ”
Guo Shan laughed and said, "This answer is also simpler." He replied, "An ox with two ears, two eyes, and a mouth." What to feed? Feed the grass. ”
Thinking about the beginning, Guo Shan was rectified by this brain teaser in later generations. Yes, now come to Datang and use it to test these people. It is not a shrewd person who is categorically difficult to answer.
Some people suddenly realized, but others thought that the answer was not right at all. But after Xu Qian nodded and agreed with Guo Shan's statement, everyone had to admit it. Guo Shan's answer is correct, but this question is unusual.
"I have answered two of the two questions correctly, please ask the lady to come up with a third question."
At this moment, seeing that Guo Shan won two battles and two victories, everyone had an unprecedented high confidence in him.
Sure enough, the third question is equally unbelievable and difficult.
The topic is, boiling the eggs.
It stands to reason that this is not a problem, but the difficulty is that the Burrow gives you a basin of cold water and does not give you firearms. The obvious meaning is that you boil the eggs in cold water. But, is this possible?
However, nothing is impossible.
Guo Shan did it.
While everyone was stunned, everyone saw that the cold water was suddenly boiling, and the eggs were quickly ripe.
In fact, this is just a simple chemical reaction, and this trick is often used in later magic tricks to deceive people.
It's too late for everyone to be impressed by Guo Shan, in fact, they don't think it's so amazing that Guo Shan has done something unbelievable.
It wasn't until the last question came that everyone gasped.
"Penglai Pavilion's gold membership card will be put in the pot again, if it can be taken out, the fifth question will be broken. But if you can't take it out, I'm sorry Xiao Guo."
Xu Qian's unspoken meaning, how could the people present not understand? But everyone was dumbfounded.
Can the boiling, so-called cooking oil, fry people's hands into cakes in an instant?
Xu Qian said: "Everyone has also seen the boiling cooking oil before, which can fry eggs instantly. And now this pot is boiling not only with cooking oil, but also with vinegar. My husband said that these two things are mixed together, and I don't know if there is a danger of burning people's hands after boiling. He put the gold card of Penglai Pavilion into this pot, if Lord Xiao Guo dares to take it out, then today you are the first place you deserve, and in addition to the silver card that the first place should get, there is also the gold membership card of Penglai Pavilion. But if you don't dare to take it, then because you answered all the previous four questions correctly, you are still in first place. You'll get a Silver membership card, and the next drink you'll want to bring out from the Burrow will be named after you. However, you can't take away the Gold membership card. ”
This is strange, since the first four questions have been asked, Da Lang has answered them correctly one by one. Now you throw the gold membership card into a frying pan and don't allow Dalang to take it. Fang Yiai couldn't help but say.
Everyone was also discussing, and Li Tai persuaded: "Da Lang, you have won the first place now." We don't want that gold membership card, what's the big deal? ”
A large number of people nodded their heads in support of Li Tai's statement.
Xu Qian smiled and said, "It's not that my husband is embarrassed by Lord Guo, it's just that this is the fifth question of the Burrow." If Lord Xiao Guo can solve the problem, the gold membership card will naturally be yours of Lord Xiao Guo. But if you can't solve the problem, you can't take the gold membership card. ”
Seeing Guo Shan's hesitation, Li Li said to Guo Shan: "Since this problem has come out of the Burrow, there must be a way to solve the problem." Xiao Guo might as well think carefully about whether there is a way to solve the problem before making a decision. ”
Although her words were not spoken, they were stronger than other people's bad ideas.
Guo Shan thought to himself, how could there be no way to solve the problem?
But at this point, he couldn't do it as easily as he had done before. However, in fact, all these problems that others thought were just trivial troubles for Guo Shan.
All the problems and troubles themselves are created by him, and will it be difficult for him to solve them again?
Guo Shan looked hesitant, frowning and going around the smoking oil pot. When he faced the burning wood under the oil pot, he suddenly smiled. looked at the people around him: "Can a mere oil pot stop me?" If it is not mine, I will not take it even if I don't have it. But if it's my stuff, even if it's a sea of swords and fire, what's there to fear? ”
Glancing coldly at the Tuyuhun youth, Guo Shan had already strode forward and stretched out his hand to insert it into the boiling oil pot.
At this moment, Li Tai, Fang Yiai and others were all shocked and wanted to come up to stop them. Even Li Lizhen and Eldest Sun Wei frowned, looking a little unbearable.
Everyone knows that the boiling oil is enough to fry Guo Shan's fine-skinned and tender hands into slag in an instant. However, a victor who is not afraid of death is of course more fearful of the enemy than a victor who is afraid of death. How much they wanted Guo Shan to put his hand into the oil pot, and then took out the gold membership card without frowning and put it in front of the Tuyuhun youth, telling the Tuyuhun youth that 'Datang will win'.
However, is this too cruel to this child? Because he's done enough, he shouldn't lose anything.
What Guo Shan thinks, others don't know. But when he walked towards the oil pot step by step at this moment, Tuyuhun's face changed and he was afraid, even Du He, he squinted his eyes and had to admire it sincerely.
And Guo Shan sighed and put his hand into the oil pot without hesitation, and when he submerged his entire wrist into the boiling oil pot, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
