Chapter 22: The Way of Arithmetic
"The poet of the third brother is really ...... It's really like a poet possessed by a saint, but whenever you shoot, every time you are colorful...... The colorful realm that is difficult for millions of people to find in their lifetimes is as if it were taken for granted in his pen......"
"You read it to your mother, read it slowly, and your mother will write it!"
"Xiling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light ......"
Looking at the manuscript of the poem in front of her and reading the refreshing swan song of the ages, Mother Lin was radiant......
"Mother, the third brother has made an appointment with someone to participate in the township test this year."
"Good ......" Mother Lin's eyes were still not away from the poem, and she was relaxed, and suddenly, she shook suddenly: "This year? ”
"Yes!" Lin Jialiang said: "The third brother told me that he has already read the Four Books and Five Classics and the History of Zhuzi, so let's not force him to study before the township exam this year, if he fails the township exam, he will study it according to his mother's arrangement." ”
"Nonsense, he ...... How had he ever read the Four Books and the Five Classics? Lin Mu reprimanded: "He is just playful, I also said that his immortal sect enlightenment has changed in a few months, and when he mentions doing the right thing, he sprouts ......again."
"But mother, he hasn't written poems before, have you ever thought that he could write three colorful poems in a row?"
Mother Lin was silent, and her eyes slowly lit up......
"This year's township test, whether it's a mother or a child, I didn't have any hope, it's better to let it go, even if it doesn't work, it's only two months, and there are still three years to go in the next township test, with the talent of the third brother, how can there be no achievements?"
Mother Lin's heart was shaken.
People, it's always like this, before yesterday, she would never force San Lang to read, because in her mind, San Lang is not that material at all, but San Lang shot two colorful poems, giving her great hope, and the expectation is great, yesterday she was in front of her ancestors and deceased husband, but she prayed, she promised to use all the strength of the Lin family to help her son set foot on the literary road......
Suddenly, there was a loud cry from the back room, it was Xiao Tao.
With an uproar, something spilled all over the ground, and Xiao Tao rushed out of it, her face flushed: "Madam, the second son, the third son is right, he ...... He's right! ”
"What?" Lin Mu and Lin Jialiang were all stunned.
Xiao Tao grabbed Mrs. Zhang's sleeve and shouted: "That Mr. Zhang from the capital came up with an extremely difficult arithmetic problem, and the third prince answered it casually, which is right!" ”
"Huh?" Lin Jialiang remembered, chickens and rabbits in the same cage? The third brother is useless, and the answer he answered casually is correct?
Be! Xiao Tao firmly said that she had checked the calculations, and the third prince was right......
As soon as the matter was said, the lady was dumbfounded.
How can it be? How profound is arithmetic? The arithmetic that students from the capital regard as difficult problems is child's play here in Saburo?
Where did you learn all this skill?
Why is everything magical?
"Xiao Tao, let's go, go to the third brother and have a look."
When the two arrived at the West Courtyard, Lin Su was sitting on the bed, looking at the moon lonely, Xiao Yao went out of the house with a footbath, and almost splashed a basin of water on Xiao Tao......
"Childe, Childe, your answer is right...... The problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, you answered it correctly......" Xiao Tao was excited again, and jumped to her feet.
Lin Su was unfazed: "Of course it's right, what's wrong?" ”
"Childe, you can't even do the math, what's the ...... How can it be calculated? ”
"......" Lin Su was speechless.
Forget it, feudal society......
"Teach you a simple way to solve this kind of chickens and rabbits in the same cage ......"
How to solve it? Play a game......
Isn't it 30 heads and 88 legs? Regardless of whether these 30 heads are rabbits or chickens, anyway, we will collectively call them animals, and 30 animals have 88 legs, right......
Let's shout "one, two, three", and all the animals listen to my command, and each of them raises 2 legs!
30 animals, each carrying 2 legs, how many in total?
There was a terrible silence in the field.
The calculation chip in Xiao Tao's hand snapped, and finally three minutes later, the answer was given, 60!
"Good, good! 60 of the 88 legs have been removed, how many are left? ”
There was another snap, and the result was 28.
Are the remaining 28 chicken legs or rabbit legs?
The corners of Xiao Yao's mouth began to drool: "Chicken legs!" ”
Lin Su knocked on the door of Xiao Yao's head: "Didn't I say it before?" All animals lift two legs, chickens only have two legs, what happens with this lift? ”
"A P share sits on the ground ......" Xiao Yao finally came back from the food.
"That's right!" Lin Su said: "The chicken only has two legs, lift the two legs and sit on the ground, there are no chicken legs on the ground, the remaining 28 are all rabbit legs, each rabbit has raised 2 legs before, and the remaining only 2 legs, 28 legs, how many rabbits will it be?" ”
Xiao Yao pondered the question of why the chicken leg was gone like this, and was very sad.
Xiao Tao began to snap with the calculation chip, and ten minutes later came to the conclusion, 14!
That's right, 30 animals, minus 14 rabbits, how much is a chicken?
Another snap, 16!
Perfect!
Lin Jialiang pondered for a long time, cheering, Xiao Tao's eyes flashed, excited, the corners of Xiao Yao's mouth drooled, and he wanted to eat chicken legs when he was hungry......
Xiao Tao Yingying stood up and saluted elegantly: "The son is superb in arithmetic, and the true god is also, can you teach the slave and maid the way of arithmetic......"
Lin Su grabbed her shoulder directly: "You can teach you, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"Childe, please command, slave maid ......"
"Don't talk to me in this crepe tone."
Yes? Xiao Tao's eyes are red, what is she pretending to be cultural artificial? Isn't it just to be qualified to be your bed warmer? Don't you know how bitter I pretend?
"You are still the same as before, you call when you have something, say what you have to say, say what you think, and speak in a normal tone, I prefer it."
Xiao Tao's sad face disappeared, and the haze in her heart turned into colorful neon, and she was still flashing lace......
The second son said that he couldn't warm the bed with the third son if he didn't have knowledge, but the third son didn't care about learning, and the third son had the final say in this matter......
There is no obstacle to the ultimate plan, but ...... Madame can't leave anyone, how can she warm her son's bed?
The next morning, Xiao Tao opened the courtyard door, her eyes lit up suddenly, and there was a woman kneeling outside the courtyard gate, lying quietly on the ground......
"Xiaoxue!"
Xiaoxue came back, entered Madame's room, and came out for a long time, her eyes were red, but her expression was full of joy.
Xiao Tao is the happiest, the people in the house are withering, she is more lost than anyone else, and now Xiaoxue is back, this is her best friend who used to talk about everything.
And it also happens to correspond to her thoughts at the moment.
She wanted to be closer to her son, it turned out that Madame couldn't do without it, but now that there is Xiaoxue, she has more time.
Lin Su had just gotten up and welcomed a guest.
Ding Hai, the owner of Haining Building.
Ding Hai sent a bag, and when the bag was opened, there was a large piece of white flowers, a bag of silver, and a full three hundred taels.
"Third Prince, you are a master and a gentleman, you should not have blasphemed you with this yellow and white thing, but at present, the Lin Mansion may need these mundane things, and I hope that the prince will not quit."
Lin Su's eyes flickered: "Yellow and white things, why do I only see white and yellow?" ”
Ding Hai's face turned into a pig's liver......
Lin Su laughed: "Just kidding! Boss Ding can make up a sum after the matter is over, which can be regarded as a pattern, and with the conscience of this business world, how about I give you a chance? ”
The pork liver on Ding Hai's face suddenly became shiny: "What does the third prince mean?" ”
"A great wine!"
Ding Hai's eyes lit up: "But it's an old thing holding mountains...... What did Mr. Baoshan tell you about the origin of the wine? ”
Mr. Baoshan, what is his status in the literary world, that is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, but the status in the wine world is definitely the level of the big guy, think about it, this old man has drunk all over the three mountains and five mountains, nine countries and thirteen states, he dares to break into the holy land of the drinking demon clan, and he dares to go to the Yaochi Immortal Palace......
This old man likes to drink but never likes to talk about wine, Ding Hai has been friends with him for 20 years, and how many times he has tried his best to extract business information about wine from his mouth, but this old man didn't say a word, and directly scolded Ding Hai for being vulgar and blaspheming the beauty of wine, which made Ding Hai hate half to death.
Now the opportunity seems to have come, the kid in front of him has a special relationship with Baoshan, and he is a fellow practitioner who "wants yellow when he sees white", and he is also a monkey spirit......
Lin Su rolled his eyes: "What information can he provide?" He is counting on my wine to help him break through the state of Wen's heart. ”
Ding Hai's breathing suddenly stopped......
Mr. Baoshan expects his wine to break through the extreme realm of Wenxin?
Let's not talk about whether such an illusory thing can really be done.
The key is that the kid in front of him really knows the crux of Baoshan Wen's extreme state of mind, which in itself is not trivial.
The small door of the west courtyard was pushed open, and Xiao Tao came in with a plate: "Childe, are you hungry?" The steamed buns that have just come out of the cage, the side dishes made according to the instructions of the child, is there anything wrong with the taste of the child...... Ah, there are guests? ”
She saw another person in the West Courtyard, of course it was Ding Hai, she didn't know Ding Hai.
Lin Su said: "It's okay! Put it down, I'll try! ”
On the plate, there are four white and chubby buns, a bowl of white rice porridge, and five small plates, which are fragrant home-cooked dishes.
Lin Su picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the same dish: "Well, it's good!" Is this the smell for my mother? ”
"No, I want to see if it tastes first, and since Childe is right, I'll send it to Madame!"
She stepped back.
Lin Su sat down and started to eat breakfast, not noticing Ding Hai's gaze at all, he stared at the buns, his eyes did not blink.
"Third son, is this made of flour?"
"yes!"
"Can I eat one?"
"Didn't Boss Ding have breakfast? If you don't think the Lin family's breakfast is simple, I'll ask them to bring you one? ”
"Then thank you, Third Prince......"
Lin Su called, Xiao Yao jumped in from outside, a bun in both hands, and her mouth was bulging like a hamster, I really don't know how the bun in her mouth got into her mouth, and there is no third hand.
"Xiaoyao, bring me another breakfast."
"Hmm!" Xiao Yao pronounced his nose and turned to run.
Soon, Xiao Yao sent a new one, which was exactly the same as Lin Su.
Ding Hai grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth for the first time, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the chopsticks in his hand stretched out to several plates, his eyes were also bright, at first it was a product, then it was swallowing, and soon, several dishes were all emptied.
Ding Hai stared at Lin Su with a bright eye.
Lin Su's heart moved slightly, as if he had seen something.
"Third son, I open a restaurant!"
"Yes!"
"This bun...... Recipe ...... And the secret recipe for making these side dishes, can you share them with me? What you and I get is divided into ......"
Lin Su smiled: "The stir-fried side dishes are not a secret recipe at all, I can tell you now, you can go back and try it, as for the technique of the steamed buns...... It's a bit technical, you can't figure it out for a while, otherwise, I'll make the 'fat mother' in the house, and you can take it and add flour to make it into such buns. ”
About half an hour, Ding Hai returned to Haining Building in a hurry.
This time he came to Lin's house, the harvest was really great, he knew for the first time that the iron pot stir-fry would be more fragrant, and he knew for the first time that some kind of magical "fat mother" was added to the flour, and it would be fat, big and refreshing after steaming......
The iron pot stir-fry is just a piece of window paper, once pierced, anyone can copy it.
But the "hair mother" is the secret recipe.
How do you get this recipe into your own hands?
Haining Building is not a few steps away from the Lin Mansion, and it is not impossible to take the hair mother from the Lin Mansion every day, but the problem is that the Beijing headquarters, Haizhou, and the branches of several other countries cannot use the hair mother after all, and the business will grow bigger in the future, and the core technology will be controlled in the hands of this kid for a long time, which always makes people unable to rest assured, what if he gets stuck in his neck?
Ding Hai began to scratch his head.
Suddenly, his hand stopped, and he thought of something else.
This kid said that there is a kind of wine that is so magical that Mr. Baoshan is extremely looking forward to it, and even hooked up with his literary and mental realm......
He naturally didn't believe such nonsense at first.
But now, his thoughts are starting to go astray, could it be true?
If there really is such a wine, what will become of his Haining Building?
Ding Hai's blood began to burn......
In the following time, several major events happened in Haining.
One of them is that Haining Building hung out a colorful wine poem, and Dacang students gathered in batches.
The second is that Haining Lou has launched a delicacy called steamed buns, which instantly raises flour from low-level food to high-end diet.
The third is that the flavor of Haining Building suddenly changed and became incomparably fragrant and delicious.
Qiankun Academy, Mr. Baoshan sat on the top of the mountain for seven days and seven nights, observing a colorful poem day and night, the extreme state of Wenxin he wanted did not come after all, but he looked at the direction of Haining, his eyes were still full of expectation, this kid promised him to make a peerless wine, ten days have passed, has the wine been completed?
The wine jug he carried with him was finally empty, and it was difficult for a drunkard without wine for a minute, and he had the heart to set foot on the road to the holy land of the demon clan, but it was this kid who made him hesitate again and again.
He wanted to rise to the sky and go straight to Haining Lin's house, but he was worried that as soon as he stepped in, he would see this kid's embarrassed face and a meaningless apology......
It's better to wait a few days, this kid will dare not send him a message and strangle him!
The ancient country of Nanyang, Baijiyuan!
Deng Xianchu and Wuyue Mountain people descended like gods, landed in front of a thatched hut, it was empty, the two old men looked at each other, and stepped into the thatched hut at the same time, there was a big earthquake on the ground, the air flow floated, and a black-haired and white-bearded old man appeared in front of the thatched house, which was a hermit's world photo.
The mysterious hermit faced the void and slowly chanted:
"The flowers fade and the red green apricots are small, when the swallows fly, the green water is around, the willows on the branches blow less, and there is no grass at the end of the world......"
Deng Xianchu and the people of Wuyue Mountain looked at each other, and sighed for a while: "Sure enough, it's him!" The ancient country of Nanyang, after all, has a deep cultural foundation, admire and admire! ”
The two of them bowed to the ground at the same time and rose through the air.
They left, and the Phantom continued to sigh, "Why wasn't I the one who did such a great work?" I've touched this layer, I've touched it, it's missing a little mystery, who is the one step ahead of me to create it? Let me do ten years of penance and it will be in vain? Poof......"
A mouthful of blood spurted into the sky, and the old man's phantom slowly disappeared.
The Lin family, Lin Su closed the door to thank guests, of course, in fact, there were few guests.
Although he is well-known in Haining, he has also offended the military department and countless literary heroes, there are taboos in the literary world, in case you make friends with any characters that should not be made, you don't know why in the future.
Therefore, the local literary circle in Haining is respectful of someone Lin.
Lin Su also happened to deal with some things quietly.
What are the things?
Haining Lou here, he had the first stable income, Xiao Tao, Xiao Xue, Xiao Yao made a pot of old noodles every night, the next morning, a carriage quietly came in, transported the old noodles away, this pot of old noodles, worth thirty taels of silver.
How much does it cost? Half two!
Earn 30 taels a day, which is higher than the normal lords of the Dingnan Marquis Mansion at the beginning.
The Lin family was so excited that they got carried away, and Lin's mother once again carried forward the nature of "reaching the world and helping the world", and sent money, rice and materials to the neighbors and those who left the Lin family at that time, so that people kowtowed in front of the Lin family every day.
A couple of people came back.
Lao He, Mei Niang, Lao Zhou, Xiao Wu......
Fortunately, the old lady also has a bottom line, not all the garbage is picked up at home, she re-stored it, there was no evil when she left that day, and there was also a last resort, as for those pure villains, even if you kowtow outside, she resolutely did not stay.
That's good.
When there are many people in the air, things will be easy to do.
Lin Su made a division of labor.
Lao He took Xiao Wu to be responsible for security and chores.
Mei Niang is in charge of cooking.
Xiao Tao is in charge of the accounts.
Xiaoxue is in charge of taking care of Madame.
Yulou is responsible for taking care of Lin Jialiang.
Xiao Yao is in charge...... Sell moe.
