Chapter 467: Upholding the Heart (Four Watches)
(The fourth ~ update is not easy, ask for a reward!) Thank you for tomorrow's double watch. )
Regarding the fact that Zhao Defa was able to accurately report the weight of such a tiny thing as half a roast chicken, those who did not know speculated that perhaps Zhao Defa was the person in the back kitchen, and happened to be in charge of the procurement, so he knew the weight of two raw pork in the kitchen, the weight of a jar of old wine, and the weight of a roast chicken.
As for how Zhao Defa knew that what Qian Mao'er wrote and what others took out on his behalf was this roast chicken, their conjecture was not much different from reality: Zhao Defa smelled the fragrance of the roast chicken, and naturally knew that the thing that was taken out was this half of the roast chicken.
Yes or no, in fact, it is not that important, the important thing is that Zhao Defa did answer the weight of the roast chicken correctly, and will the next few things still be so smooth?
At this time, there were already sixty-four items that had been answered, and She Qing clearly remembered that the list he had just seen clearly stated that there were sixty-eight items in total.
Although there are only four things left, can these four things really be remembered and weighed like the previous ones?
Whoever has faith in this will be able to plant on these last four things.
The applause and cheers of the people around them continued, and at this time, whether it was Qian Mao'er or Zhao Defa, they could see the sad expressions between their eyebrows - the two of them seemed to have encountered some problems that they couldn't solve.
"Wouldn't it be too tricky for you to put those things?" According to her understanding, Qian Mao'er and Zhao Defa at this time already had enough qualifications to be the acting shopkeeper of this cyclamen building, and in the end, the four things arranged by She Qing, unless they were gods, how could they know what the rest of the things were and how much they weighed.
"You don't need to worry." She Qing chuckled, "I naturally understand your thoughts, in fact, this is also the thoughts of most of the people on the scene, and the two of them have already proved with their strength that they are indeed qualified to be the shopkeeper...... As I said at the beginning, there are three things they can't remember, they can have a deviation of one pound in total weight, and now, there are only four things that I haven't guessed, and what is the difference in total weight at the moment? ”
"It's only a tael apart." Diyin looked at the accounts in his hand and replied after checking again.
"One or two?" This was indeed beyond She Qing's imagination, and he admitted that even if they chose to give up or answer incorrectly at this point, it would not shake the victory they had already forged.
"The last four, maybe you can see something else!" She Qing chuckled, but Di Yin's face was slightly red, although She Qing had promised her that there would be no problems in the end, but when she thought of herself...... She always felt a lot awkward.
For now, I can only pray that the two of them will retreat.
Diyin quietly glanced at the list with her eyes, but saw that the last four lines of the list read something like this:
women's profane clothing, one piece;
green jade hairpin, one;
Portable jade pendant, one;
Silk square, one side.
Because it was the last thing that was added in a hurry, these four things were not weighed, but Di Yin took the opportunity to check the objects and quietly put them in, although Qian Mao'er saw something in the carriage outside the carriage, but he couldn't see what was missing from a woman......
If he could guess, wouldn't he be God?
Besides, even if Qian Mao'er knows what it is, how much will it weigh when Fang Pa gets off the car? How much will a jade pendant weigh when taken down? Zhao Defa definitely can't answer it!
"I can't answer."
"I don't remember."
Zhao Defa and Qian Mao'er spoke almost at the same time, although the content of their words was different, but the meaning was the same, that is, they all chose to "give up" when they came to this point.
Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but sigh, but there were more people sighing, and it sounded like it had some sympathetic effect, as if it was She Qing who forced them to give up for a while...... Who made him so perverted?
Seeing the two of them walking towards him, She Qing chuckled and said, "The three items are not listed, and the difference between the total weight and the actual total weight is only one or two, and the two of you are indeed qualified to become the acting treasurer of the Cyclamen Building." ”
Hearing She Qing's words, the resentment of the people around him was slightly dispelled, and many people began to cheer happily, celebrating and cheering for these two young and powerful new shopkeepers.
Only a few people can notice that when they heard She Qing announce the result, Qian Mao'er and Zhao Defa could not see the slightest excitement on their faces, on the contrary, they felt a little unbelievable for such a result.
Inside...... There must be four things that you haven't guessed, right? Why did the proprietor only say that there were three? Could it be that I am mistaken? Qian Mao'er frowned slightly, but Zhao Defa was silent.
The reaction of the two people after hearing the result was not at all surprising to She Qing.
"Let's go back and talk." Beckoning to the flute and calling for someone to carry him upstairs, She Qing closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up lightly as if he was quite satisfied.
The flute that followed her was a little embarrassed for some reason, especially after being stared at by Zhao Defa and Qian Mao'er with such strange eyes, her face was even more crimson, and she lowered her head to look at her toes, regardless of the fact that She Qing had been left far behind.
"You got it?" Let the person who carried him step back, She Qing smiled and asked Qian Mao'er and Zhao Defa.
"The owner...... I just wrote it down again, and there are sixty-eight of them, but why do you say I didn't find three? Qian Mao'er couldn't hold back, so she asked first.
"Oh, that's your question." She Qing nodded, and then went to see Zhao Defa, but still saw that he was silent, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you have any doubts?" ”
"Naturally, there is a ......" Seeing She Qing ask himself, Zhao Defa had to report his findings truthfully: "The remaining things in this carriage weigh about one or two, plus the value I deliberately reported when I reported the number before, and the final total value of the report should be between two and three taels different from the previous statistics......
"Oh? Are you deliberately overreporting or underreporting? Hearing Zhao Defa say this, She Qing couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"If the value is too accurate, it will make onlookers think that they have memorized it in advance, which will be really harmful to the reputation of the entire cyclamen building...... This is always a bit worse, and the sense of realism will be strong, as long as you always pay attention to maintaining the balance and not deviate too much from the actual value. ”
Listening to Zhao Defa's analysis, She Qing couldn't help nodding yes, it seems that he was not wrong to choose Zhao Defa and Qian Mao'er, at least in terms of considering the reputation of the cyclamen, they can still uphold the principle of maintaining the reputation of the cyclamen building when it comes to the position of the shopkeeper, and they are much stronger than many people.
"What's inside...... Indeed, as you think, I put the flute in it...... I might as well say here that if the first sixty-four items test your ability, then the last four tests your heart...... If Zhao Defa is like Zhao Defa, you have already guessed that the total weight of the items inside is only about one or two, why not report the weight according to the starting method? ”
Seeing that Zhao Defa was silent, She Qing asked Qian Mao'er again: "You should be more clear about how many of these things are there, as long as you report one of them, don't I have to help you say one more?" ”
"It's not appropriate." As soon as She Qing's words fell, Qian Mao'er had already responded with a little anxiety.
Seeing She Qing's incomprehensible expression, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and lowered his head and said: "If I report one of them, then it is actually difficult for Brother Zhao to feel the weight of that thing from it...... I can't do this kind of thing, because everyone is one, and if one of the cyclamen is affected, the rest of the people are likely to be affected......"
"That's why you chose to give up with him?" She Qing chuckled, looked at the two of them for a long time and finally nodded: "You really can't find fault in terms of strength, although the two sides have different perspectives on the point of mind, but they always associate the reputation of the cyclamen building with the honor and disgrace of everyone in the cyclamen building, which is really rare...... Then, from tomorrow onwards, there will be two people in the store here! ”
"But......" Qian Mao'er didn't finish speaking, but saw that She Qing had closed his eyes, knowing that he didn't want to continue listening, so he could only thank Zhao Defa and return depressed.
"Zhao Defa ......" When he was about to go out, Zhao Defa was stopped by She Qing, and he immediately just stepped forward, as if the money cat behind him stabbed him with a needle.
"On the seventh day of the first month of this month, everything will go well, and don't forget to invite us and others to go when the time comes."
Qian Mao'er didn't understand She Qing's words, but Zhao Defa's face was first stunned, then red, and then his face was full of joy: "Thank you to the owner, the little one has decided to do it in our cyclamen building, and the time is the seventh day of the new year in five days!" ”
"Well, okay, I'll wait for your news." Nodding slightly, he shouted to Qian Mao'er again, Qian Mao'er did not react as quickly as Zhao Defa, stepped forward step by step, nodded and bowed, and his movements were unhurried, but Zhao Defa on his side was much more excited than him, as if the person who was named by She Qing later was still him Zhao Defa.
"You don't have to be troubled by the fact that your husband once asked you to be a student, thinking that all the things that happened afterwards, including being selected as the acting treasurer, including the fact that I deliberately made a mistake and did not report the number of objects, were all because you were a student who was favored by Mr. Chou...... There has never been a shortage of talented people, and there has never been a shortage of kind-hearted people, what you get is because of what you do, and the reason why you were chosen by Mr. is also because of your heart...... Maybe you don't care about the invitation of Si Chou Zhai, but since you have become a substitute shopkeeper, I hope you will continue to uphold this intention and do everything here! ”
"This ...... Naturally, please rest assured! With a slight shock in his heart, Qian Mao'er lowered his head and responded.
