Chapter 36: Arithmetic Competition
Lord Lan and his party found a large table and sat down, and the shopkeeper came to serve, but they didn't ask for anything. She said to Ning Shizi www.biquge.info "Is this a competition, you always have to have some color, I don't know what good things you can come up with, third brother?"
Ning Shizi smiled and said, "Third sister, haven't you always coveted my set of footwork of wandering the dragon? Today I will let you have a good time and taste the taste of good things slipping away from your hand." ”
"Isn't it just a set of light skills, who is rare. But that's it, I'll press my whispering sword. ”
In fact, the value of the whispering sword of the lord of Lan County is higher, in addition to some real unique books, most of the martial arts cheats have been handed down from generation to generation, and basically every set of martial arts has many people practiced, but there are not many people who have practiced it. The footwork that Ning Shizi said must be just a manuscript, and a good weapon requires a good iron embryo and a good craftsman, and it can only be done under various conditions of time and place, which is extremely rare.
It's just that this matching condition was proposed by Lord Lan on his own initiative, and no one has any objections.
They were fighting each other on their side, but they had nothing to do with Liu Ping'an, he secretly beckoned to Xu Da, and happened to be seen by the young master of the Xie family, and they also smiled at each other.
Xu Da said hello to Young Master Xie and walked over and sat down. One of his attendants must not have a seat over there, but he is standing on the side, and he can still sit here.
Liu Ping'an hurriedly got up and introduced the mustache to Xu Da, and chatted casually. However, everyone's attention was on Ning Shizi and Lan County Lord. Xu Da happened to act as a commentator and popularized the identity of the people present to Liu Ping'an.
Ning Shizi's side was Wen Jiaming, and the Lan County Lord was naturally Young Master Xie himself. At this time, Liu Ping'an knew that Wen Jiaming's arithmetic must be outstanding, no wonder he could sit on the seat of the prince of Han if he couldn't do poetry just now.
Although Wen Jiaming rented the courtyard of the Xie family, he didn't know Xie Pi. The young master of the Xie family will definitely not take care of such a trivial matter at home, the last time Liu Ping'an rented a house, it was Xu Da who mentioned it and helped by the way, mainly to buy Xu Da Da's heart.
Wen Jiaming and Xie Pi each took a piece of paper and wrote down their own topics. Someone asked the shopkeeper to bring a stick of incense, and while lighting the incense, the two sides exchanged the inscription paper in their hands, and then each found an empty table and sat down to start solving the problem.
At the same time, some good deeds read the questions of both sides, and also found a piece of paper to copy it and paste it on the wall for everyone to watch. Liu Ping'an is not interested in literature, but he is very interested in mathematics, and he thinks that he was also a person who won the championship of the high school mathematics Olympiad back then. So I went up and went to see it.
The question of the young master of the Xie family is a question about monks eating steamed buns, which is about a total of 100 monks in a temple, the big monk eats four steamed buns each, and the four young monks eat one steamed bun. They have to eat a hundred steamed buns at a meal, so how many big monks and little monks are there in this temple.
Wen Jiaming came up with the problem of shop delivery, talking about a shop to deliver goods from the main store to the branch, the car full of goods can walk 50 miles a day, the car without goods can walk 70 miles a day, a total of three round-trips in five days, ask how far the head office of this shop is from the branch.
are all simple function problems, for Liu Ping'an, it is actually a one-dimensional one-dimensional equation and a two-dimensional one-dimensional equation, which can be solved by any junior high school student or even a primary school student in the future. But for people in this era, it's a bit troublesome. Emperor Jianwen only attached importance to arithmetic and physics education, but some specific theories were not developed with golden fingers, and only twenty-six pinyin letters were used in order to standardize local accents.
Liu Ping'an also went to the counter to find the shopkeeper to ask for two pieces of paper and a pen, and wrote his solution with a brush. Wen Jiaming and Xie Pi were both immersed in hard work, but it seemed that Wen Jiaming seemed to have found a way to keep writing, but Xie Pi still touched his head from time to time.
When Liu Ping'an saw this scene, he looked at the half-burned incense, and decided to help the young master of the Xie family, mainly because Xie Pi gave him a good impression. Although Wen Jiaming is renting together, it seems that he doesn't need help.
Liu Ping'an took the piece of paper and whispered to Xu Da Man: "Senior brother, you go and take a look behind your young master, and if he can't solve it, give this to him." ”
Xu Da glanced at Liu Ping'an and said in surprise: "Second brother, I didn't expect you to have this level!" But it was about his young master, so he immediately turned around and left. Liu Ping'an's answer has been given, and how to hand it over in front of everyone should not be difficult for Xu Dajia.
The mustache asked puzzled: "You call him senior brother, he calls you second brother, is he a younger brother and still has an early start?"
Liu Ping'an laughed, and then explained to the mustache why others called him his second brother. The swordsman's grandson scolded him for a long time, and now he treats this nickname as a joke, and he often shouts like this.
"Then I'll call you second brother in the future. Who made you call me a mustache all day long. The mustache touched the whiskers under his chin, a little depressed.
The time for a stick of incense is not long, and when Ning Shizi sent someone to ask for incense, he deliberately asked for a relatively short incense, and it burned out in less than half an hour. Ning Shizi shouted confidently: "Gongzi Xie, when the time comes, don't write anymore." He believes very much that Wen Jiaming's level will definitely be able to solve this problem, if he can't solve it, it doesn't matter, at most, he won't need this person in the future, and a set of manuscripts is not a matter at all.
Wen Jiaming finished it first, but out of habit, he didn't hand in the paper until the end, and the son of the Xie family also finished the answer at the last moment. Although Xie Pi is talented and smart, after all, he is not as good as these masters who have been soaking in the sea of books all day long, and finally used Liu Ping'an's ideas to solve it.
When the two of them posted the answer on the wall, everyone watched, but they didn't say who won or lost, obviously they did everything right. Liu Ping'an didn't come over to look at it, there was only one answer to the two questions, he believed in himself very much, if others said it was right, it would definitely be the same as his own result.
The people present are all people who are about to participate in the Spring Festival, and their basic arithmetic and problem-solving skills are not bad, but it is the person who knows these two questions best in the present person.
Xie Pi and Wen Jiaming both carefully looked at each other's answers, and their faces showed surprise.
Xie Pi of the Wen family hugged his fists and said seriously: "Gongzi Xie is talented, I can't do it." I am researching this problem and have not yet solved it, but Xie Gongzi can solve it with a stick of incense, and he uses such a novel idea, I am willing to bow down. ”
Xie Pi's face was slightly red, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said, "I also happened to it, it was a coincidence." Wen Gongzi has a solid foundation, and he must be in high school this time. "When it comes to the bet between Lord Lan and Ning Shizi, he can't surrender to his opponent like Wen Jiaming.
