Thirty-four, mystery

The man reluctantly took out two pennies and handed them to Cheng Sifang, who smiled and said, "Thank you." The man was not convinced, and said, "Come again!" Eight to three wins, this person added eighty once, only to think that it was the luck of the Quartet, and he lost two cents, how could he be willing?

So the man touched ten more stones, and the number was added, and the result was seventy, and the man touched his head and shouted: "How can this be?" Cheng Sifang smiled and said: "Two cents, thank you." The man took out two pennies, grabbed the placket of the square, and said, "Did you do anything on the stones?

Cheng Sifang said with a smile: "If Mr. has any doubts, you can find your favorite stones, write by yourself, and bring containers by yourself, let's rely on luck, how can there be a fake?" This person is unrelenting: "It's you who cheat!" There are more and more onlookers around, this person really found a container by himself, holding twenty log beads in his hand, and said: "This is my own log beads, I will write them, do you dare?"

Cheng Quartet said: "You write it." The man really wrote ten tens, ten fives, and put them in a container, and said, "Come again!" So the man touched the ten beads, one plus sixty-five, and the man laughed and said, "I won! Look, you are the one who cheated!" Cheng Quartet only smiled, and handed over two pennies to this man, and the man said, "I will come again, and see that I win back your two pennies." ”

But in the next three times, this person added seventy, seventy-five, and eighty-three numbers respectively, and lost six cents, and the monk of the second chapter of this person was confused, clapped his palm, and blamed his own hand. When the crowd saw it, they came forward to try their luck, the first few lost, the fourth one won, and everyone saw that they could really win money, so they joined in.

The leader of the three said with a smile: "Second brother, quickly invite Mr. Mi here." The bearded man answered, and walked out of the city quickly.

Half an hour passed, Cheng Quartet relied on two cents, has earned more than 200 cents, the masses keep participating, keep losing, just when they are discouraged, someone wins, so the discouraged people become unwilling, and participate again. Cheng Quartet is very busy, and there is constantly money in the account.

An hour passed, Cheng Sifang smiled and said: "Everyone, everyone, today is the end of the day, come back tomorrow, let's bet bigger, how about ten cents?" Cheng Sifang stood up, and everyone dispersed, unwilling, and reluctant.

Cheng Quartet returned the two pennies to the man and said, "Thank you for your help." The man accepted two cents, and the bearded man and another merchant-like pegasus came from outside the city, turned over and dismounted, and said with a long beard: "Big brother, Mr. Mi has been invited." The merchant saluted the man and asked, "I don't know what happened to Xuande Gong calling me?"

This person is the hero of Rende in the world, the current emperor's uncle, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. The one with the long beard is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and the one with the beard is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide! And this Mr. Mi is under Liu Biao, and the family is Mi Zhu, a wealthy man who does business.

Liu Bei said: "Mr. Mi, this little brother used a strange trick, within an hour, with two pennies to increase the profit a hundred times, the three of us brothers do not know the mystery, so please Mr. Mi to take a look." ”

Cheng Sifang saw Mi Zhu saluting Liu Bei, knowing that the identities of these few must be extraordinary, and asked cautiously: "The villain is a Quartet, dare to ask all the gentlemen with their high surnames?" Liu Bei smiled, so he introduced himself, and introduced Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu by the way.

Where had Cheng Sifang heard of Liu Bei's name? After hearing this, he only saluted and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Liu." Zhang Fei shouted: "Boy, what sir? My brother is the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty!" "How do you know what the emperor uncle is?" But when he heard Zhang Fei say this, he always felt that the emperor uncle was very powerful, and he made the etiquette deeper: "It turned out to be Uncle Liu Huang, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei laughed: "Interesting! Interesting! Your name is Cheng Sifang, right?" Cheng Sifang nodded, Liu Bei said: "If you don't dislike it, please have a glass of wine with me, how about it?" Cheng Sifang happened to be hungry and panicked, so he responded.

Mi Zhu ordered a meal at the restaurant, and Cheng Sifang also used the money he earned just now to change his clothes, wiped the dust off his face, and sat down with everyone.

Liu Bei asked: "Little Brother Cheng, why is it only seventy, seventy-five, eighty-three numbers no matter what?" Mi Zhu was stunned: "What seventy, seventy-five, eighty?" Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Mi, you don't know, twenty stones, ten written ten, ten written five, from which ten are randomly added up, somehow, it is always these three numbers, what is the reason for this? Mr. Mi, you can tell me." ”

Mi Zhu listened, only felt inexplicable, so Zhang Fei took out the put away stones, let Mi Zhu take them, add them up, the result was seventy-five, Mi Zhu was stunned, and said: "This...... I don't know what's going on. Zhang Fei said: "How's that? How's that? It's amazing, isn't it?"

Liu Bei asked Cheng Sifang and said, "Brother Cheng, why is this happening? How do you know that the odds of seventy, seventy-five, and eighty are so great?" Cheng Sifang smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't know before, but today in front of the city gate, I saw a general transporting twenty carts of grain, ten of which were covered with black cloth, and the other ten were covered with yellow cloth, so I came up with this method." Guan Yu asked, "Where is the mystery in this?"

Cheng Quartet said: "Twenty carts of grain, ten carts of black cloth, ten carts of yellow cloth, if you change it to ten stones, I will paint ten black, ten yellow, cover it, let you take it out one by one, what is the probability of taking out ten red in a row?"

Cheng Quartet said: "I change the rules, write ten tens, ten five, if you take half of each, it is seventy-five, if ten takes out six, five takes out four, it is eighty, and conversely, ten has four, and five has six, it is seventy." If one of the numbers takes out seven, I lose, but how many people can be so precise that they can take seven identical numbers in a row, even eight, nine, ten?"

Saying this, everyone suddenly realized, Mi Zhu smiled: "I have been doing business all my life, and I can't hide anything from me on the road of the shopping mall, but this little brother is not a business, but a probability, I can't count it, I am ashamed, I am ashamed." Liu Bei also laughed: "It's really interesting, the world is so big, there are no surprises!" A thing that looks wonderful, to put it bluntly, is as simple as that, but it's boring, Guan Yu smiled: "I see, I see." The crowd laughed again.
