Chapter 132: Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage
Is he really a bookkeeper?
In this era, knowledge was monopolized by the clans and wealthy gentry.
There are not many people who can read, let alone Mr. Bookkeeper.
Not to mention anything else, the entire Liu Ji plus the two thousand peasants behind him, adding Li Lu and Zhao Qianxi, there are no more than 20 literate people.
Even Ruan Da only knows a small number of commonly used words, but if it is more complicated, he has to shake his head, Ruan Er and Ruan San are even more illiterate, and two are illiterate.
This customer is still a baby!
Liu Ming thought for a while, and suddenly said, "There is a cage with chickens and rabbits in it, a total of twenty-one heads, sixty-two legs, how many chickens and rabbits are there?"
"Eleven chickens, ten rabbits." Customer No. 1 blurted out again, and then he was stunned for a moment, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Shopkeeper, what about you entertain me?"
Answer in seconds!
Liu Ming was even more excited, and said, "How did you figure it out? Tell me about it?"
"How simple is this, twenty-one heads, suppose they all cut off two legs, you have to cut forty-two legs, then the chicken has no legs, the rabbit still has two legs, sixty-two legs cut forty-two, there are twenty left, the rabbit is ten, the chicken is eleven."
Customer No. 1 spoke very naturally.
Liu Ming was stunned.
As for the algorithm, it is X+Y=21, 2X+4Y=62, and then multiply the two sides of the first equation by two to get 2X+2Y=42, and then subtract 2X+2Y=42 from 2X+4Y=62 to get 2Y=20, Y=10, X+10=21, X=11.
He used the equation, but the method of customer number one was even rougher, directly cutting his legs, which he did not expect.
What a talent this guy is!
"Big brother, to tell you the truth, how many years have you been in the bookkeeper? Is there something wrong?" Liu Ming said tentatively.
"Twenty-eight years old Hua came out to work in the bookkeeping room, now it's almost thirty, thirteen or fourteen," customer number one muttered, "I only made one mistake, that is, I forgot to lock the cabinet and let the customer take the money away when he checked out."
"Okay!" Liu Mingle said, "Oh, by the way, it's been so long, I still don't know what your name is?"
"Wei Xuancheng."
"Haha," Liu Ming was immediately happy: "You are older than me, I call you Brother Wei, listen to my brother's advice, you are poor and white, and you still take two babies, and you will be blinded when you go to your relatives, it is better to go back to Mingyang and find a living."
"Can ......"
As soon as Wei Xuancheng said a word, Liu Ming interrupted him and said, "Don't say you can't find it, I'll make a living for you, let's go down together in a while, I'll ask Peng Yuanguan to accompany you back to Mingyang, rent you a shop, and you can help me open Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant again in Mingyang, how about it?"
"Open...... Open ......"
Wei Xuancheng was so shocked that his tongue couldn't straighten up, and after trying a few times, Fang said, "Open a Liuji Noodle Restaurant? I don't know how to make noodles......
"It's okay, I'll teach you, I'll adjust all the proportions for you, give you a thousand bowls first, you strictly follow the proportions, or the old price, ten wen per bowl, how about it?"
"But ......"
"It's nothing," Liu Ming waved his hand: "You are the first guest of my noodle restaurant, and you are willing to come to support me when I open a restaurant, Brother Wei, you are my friend, and now you are in trouble, your friend will help you, it is a matter of course."
As the saying goes, the hypocrites around the illustrious only see the true brothers when they are in trouble, and now that he is in trouble, he is just thinking about the child's birthday, bringing him to eat free noodles, and letting the child eat something good, but he didn't expect Liu Ming to arrange a store for him directly!
It's still a restaurant of Willow Kee Noodle Restaurant!
Quan Mingyang knows that the recipe of Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, wherever you get it, is a treasure to make a fortune.
Liu Ming actually gave himself the opportunity to make a fortune without hesitation......
Wei Xuancheng's nose was sour, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ming supported him extremely skillfully, and quipped: "There are many people who want to kowtow to me in Liu Ji, but none of them have succeeded.
Remember, in Liu Ji's territory, you can't kneel, you can't kowtow, and don't feel inferior, you and I both eat with our hands, and no one is inferior to the other, understand?"
No one is inferior to the other......
Hearing these words in his ears, Wei Xuancheng suddenly recalled the scene when he was at the Mingji Inn, when the shopkeeper treated him six.
It turns out that he doesn't have to be a subordinate......
"Hmm!"
He clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
"But one yard to one yard, you have to wait for me, I'll call a few people up."
With that, he shouted downstairs at the top of his voice, "Old friend! Old friends! You come up with three chefs!"
Not long after, the four mermaids rushed upstairs, Li Chun was still twisting the kitchen knife in his hand, and said with a bitter look: "What's wrong, I'm still cutting fish, I'm busy to death."
"Serious business, let's vote, it's about the restaurant, let's decide."
Liu Ming patted Wei Xuancheng on the shoulder and said, "Let me introduce first, this is the first customer of my Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, I plan to ask him to go back to Mingyang and help me run a Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, what are your intentions?"
Liu Ming said as he stared at Chef Yang.
He is the one who wants to pay dividends directly, and his opinion is the most important.
Chef Yang thought for a moment and said, "Is it still the price of a bowl for him?"
"No, this time the first batch of goods, let's pad, every bowl he sells, we collect six wen, as for the remaining four, whether he keeps it for himself or gives it to others, let's just ask, how?"
After hearing this, Chef Yang folded his fingers for a long time, and then said tentatively, "Shopkeeper, this is a matter of making money, right?"
Liu Ming nodded.
"Hey......" Chef Yang sighed and said helplessly, "I'm scared to death, I thought I was going to lose money."
Liu Ming's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "When did I ever do a loss-making business?"
"Yes, since it's a money-making business, the shopkeeper has decided that I'm still cooking, so I'll go down first."
With that, Chef Yang immediately ran away.
"Me too, I'm still on fire, you decide."
Liu Kanshan also ran away.
Li Chun saw that the two of them had run away, and went downstairs with a kitchen knife, without even leaving a word.
Only Peng Yuanguan was left.
Liu Ming tilted his head and looked at him with a dry smile on his face.
He immediately sighed, looking depressed: "Understood, I'll go find him a shop, right?"
In the past few months, Peng Yuanguan and Liu Ming have had a high degree of tacit understanding.
Of course, the main thing is that Liu Ming got too much, and he has a long memory.
Liu Ming nodded.
Peng Yuanguan immediately hooked Wei Xuancheng's neck and said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs, go now, I can still come back before sunset."
Wei Xuancheng, who was dragged by Peng Yuanguan, was about to go downstairs when he suddenly shouted: "Shopkeeper, I, Wei Xuancheng, will always remember your great kindness!"
"Don't remember, remember, your goal is to bring down your first store!"
Liu Ming shouted.
