Chapter Ninety-Two: Calculation
"What if?" "Little Tail" suddenly paused for the second half of the little lady's words, was very anxious, and asked.
"If the time comes, if you are destined for the two of you, and you still like each other, I am naturally willing to be the mother of the two of you!" After finishing the second half of the sentence to the little lady, it can be regarded as a "parent" promise to the "little tail".
"Good! Cong'er, you have to remember this sentence. "Little Tail" turned his head, fanned his eyes at Cong'er, and explained seriously, "I will wait for you." ”
Cong'er thought it was funny, so she nodded perfunctorily, thinking: "More than ten years later, who can think so far?" Or is it that I'm already back to my 2020 years before then? …… Unless, our fate can really be so deep. ”
Xiang promised the little lady to officially accept "Little Tail" as her own student, and let her study with her brother Ji Yu with her, but asked that every other month, Cong'er would come back to see her.
"Remember, we should take the merchant's son and take us to see Dr. Shangrong's apprentice Li Er, this is a rare opportunity, and we must not miss the appointment." Xiang Xiaomao remembered another important thing, that is, when the merchant brothers and sisters left last time, they said that they would arrange a "summit forum" between Cong'er and Dan in the near future, which could not be ignored, and it had to be emphasized again and again.
"Yes! I will remember that I will come back then! When Cong'er replied this time, he was absolutely sincere, after all, being able to meet the cattle of this era would be the biggest gain in his life.
Although Cong'er knows very well that this guy named "Li Er" will grow into a generation of celebrities, but his six gentlemen don't think how cute it is for a student who "confuses" and "asks dumb" teachers all day long.
Just like Jiao Cong'er, several gentlemen were frightened by this precocious student, and every time they were ready to start a class for him, they needed to hold a routine "pre-class teaching and research exchange preparatory meeting" to discuss how to come up with a way to arrange more difficult courses, so that this student would not "understand in seconds" today, and make them very faceless.
Even, they feel that every time they give Cong'er a lesson, they are coming to "class", and they are being taught new knowledge by Xiangzhong, rather than teaching Xiangzhong.
Xiang Zhong relies on these gentlemen's lessons, relying on "ear disease", if you want to listen to it, listen to it well, and if you love it, listen to it more; If you don't like to listen, you "can't hear clearly", and he doesn't pretend to be asleep——— but in fact, those classes really have a hypnotic effect.
For example, Mr. Guan, the "Etiquette" who will always be unable to control his teeth, starts from the basic chapter of "Li", and he meticulously and slowly tells about it one by one: how to deal with the small things in life: such as "how to speak, eat, clean, interpersonal relations to correctly deal with the conversation of the "Civilized Language Norms Case", how to advance and retreat, etc., a lot of long and cumbersome rules...... The first thing that can make Cong'er sleepy when he hears it is this lesson.
He won't make a fuss, just be quieter——— so quiet that he will fall asleep.
Guan Ya always found that in addition to his dedication and emotional demonstration, he suddenly found that one of the students was listening carefully, it was his brother Xiang Zheng; The second student, that smart little thing, was successfully "hypnotized" again!
Whenever he saw this scene, Guanya didn't dare to wake him up, feeling annoyed but helpless.
After all, I explained to the doctor: "The heavy child is still young, and he has ear disease and weak hearing, and drowsiness is a must for growing taller. You don't have to push the seedlings to help them grow. ”
Mr. Zan Yi, the big head and the little man who blocked the lip and tongue sword for Chong'er, was speechless at the proficiency of those "little bamboo sticks" when Xiang Chong was learning to calculate chips, obviously he had only taught it once, and from the cloth bag, he put the sharpened and sharpened thin bamboo sticks of equal length into two rows:
One line is a vertical pendulum, that is, like putting chopsticks up, and one represents 1; A pair represents 2; Three roots represent 3; Four roots represent 4; Five roots represent 5; The upper and lower two are arranged in a "T" shape to represent 6; One horizontal on the top and two on the hem to form a "π" representing 7; One horizontal and three vertical, π has one more leg to represent 8; One horizontal and four vertical represents 9.
The other line is a horizontal pendulum, like the Chinese characters "one, two, three" respectively horizontal one represents 1, parallel horizontal two represents 2, horizontal three represents 3; The horizontal four roots are 4, and the horizontal five roots are 5; A vertical and horizontal anti-"T" is 6; Add a horizontal under the reverse "T" to 7; Add two horizontal for 8; Three horizontal is 9.
At first, it was also strange to be heavy, obviously the decimal number, a way to put it would be good, why invent two, a bit like our number capitalization, but the real magic is that because when you want to calculate, you have to put these calculation chips together, put them on a plane, these small sticks are easy to move, too close, it is easy to confuse the line, and the recognition is inaccurate, so when the operation is carried out, as long as the "vertical and horizontal alternation" is used, how large the number will not be messed up.
Xiang Zhong especially likes to play with these thin bamboo sticks, and he really wants to thoroughly experience an idiom: "strategizing", what kind of "operation" is this "planning".
The simple "addition and subtraction" is of course easy to be won by Xiang Zhong, and the "multiplication" is slightly difficult, which arouses Xiang Zhong's great interest, although he will already know how to use Arabic numerals to calculate the result, but with these small sticks fiddling, it can also be calculated, more challenging. So, he kept pestering Mr. Zan Yi to teach him how to do "multiplication".
There was no way, so Mr. Zan Yi had to go to the side of the rectangular case, that is, the short side, and sit down, and began to put it up, because this top-down equation takes up a lot of space and cannot be placed horizontally.
I saw Zan Yi swing up and down two lines of numbers, the upward "three π" represents the "multiplier" 36; On behalf of "multiplier" 172, when swinging, put the unit of the second line "||" Vertically aligned with the first "three" of the multiplier.
The problem is out, and the following begins to solve: I see, first count the "three" in the first place of the upward "multiplier" and the downward "multiplier" 172 all over again, and the result is 5160, because it is 30 times 172, so in the left position of the original upward "three π", the three groups of sticks of "|||||, one, and inverted T" are posed, and the zero position is empty, so under the "three" of the first row, the empty position is not pendulum; Then this "5160" was moved aside separately as the first result to be calculated.
Now that you've counted the tens of digits, let's start counting the single digits, and now use the "π" of the uplink "multiplier" digit, which is 6, to the left, and then align with the downside low. In this case, it is multiplied by the downward "multiplier" of 172......
