Ning Ye took out his Rubik's Cube. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it wasn't easy either. You had to be familiar with the formulas inside to solve it easily; otherwise, it would be a very difficult task.
"Now I'll scramble this Rubik's Cube. If you can solve it, I'll agree to your request again."
Zhang Zifeng was confident that after a quick look at the Rubik's Cube, her two little hands started working. Although it took longer than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she did manage to solve the Rubik's Cube completely.
Ning Ye scratched his head. "Could it be that I've stumbled upon a treasure? Although Zhang Ziping is unremarkable, Ning Ye has already felt that Zhang Zifeng's talent in this area is quite high after teaching him for so long, but it seems that my vision is still not broad enough."
If this matter is indeed debatable, what if it's just a fleeting inspiration?
Zhang Zifeng, holding up the Rubik's Cube, said, "Brother Ning, I've already solved this. Shouldn't I mention what I promised before?"
Ning Ye coughed twice and said in a very serious tone, "There's no rush. After all, I can definitely do what you've done. But now I have another question I want to ask you. If you can do it, maybe I can teach you something that others can't learn."
Zhang Zifeng immediately became interested. "Since Brother Ning wants to take the test, then let's take it. But if it's the characters you taught, then I'd better not take it. I definitely won't be able to do it."
Ning Ye shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not about those things, but it might be harder than you think. If you don't answer correctly, what I promised won't count."
Zhang Zifeng clenched his little fist and said, "As long as it's not a written test, Brother Zhang can take it if he wants."
"Listen carefully, if there are chickens and rabbits in a cage, with a total of twenty heads and forty-six legs, how many chickens and rabbits are there?"
Although the chicken-and-rabbit problem is almost a chaotic one, we have to admit that the idea is actually quite ingenious.
After hearing the question, Zhang Zifeng's delicate eyebrows furrowed immediately. This seemed completely different from the arithmetic questions he usually heard.
Ning Ye wasn't in a hurry. After all, such problems are often the most difficult the first time they appear. Once you succeed at it once, you can easily solve them in the future.
As for whether Zhang Zifeng has the talent in this area, it depends on how long it takes to solve the problem this time. If it takes longer than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Ning Ye can basically give up his fantasies about it.
Just as Ning Ye was thinking this, Zhang Zifeng suddenly spoke up, "Brother Ning, something seems off. Why do I feel like there are two answers to this question?"
Ning Ye turned around, his eyes wide open. Hadn't he already figured it out so quickly?
Didn't you just look very troubled a moment ago?
Has it already been resolved?
"Give me both answers and let me hear them so I can see if they're right or wrong."
"Seventeen chickens, three rabbits, eighteen chickens, two rabbits, that's how I calculated it, but I don't know if it's correct or not."
Ning Ye clenched his fist instantly. Although there were four ways to solve this problem, Zhang Zifeng was able to solve two of them in such a short time, and he had never heard of such a problem before. His talent was beyond question.
"Zifeng, I have to ask you something very seriously now: would you be willing to be my student?"
Zhang Zifeng tilted his head and said, "Brother Ning, what are you saying? Aren't I already your student?"
Ning Ye shook his head. "I will be your teacher alone, and what I teach you will be completely different from what is taught in the school. In the future, there may be other people to study with you, but right now it's just you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Just then, Zhang Zihe returned and, upon hearing this, immediately pushed open the door and entered. "Zifeng, why don't you hurry up and acknowledge your brother Ning as your teacher? This is completely different from any other kind of teacher. As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.'"
Zhang Zifeng's eyes finally lit up, and he finally understood what Ning Ye meant.
A proper apprenticeship is completely different from that in a school, after all, the difference between the two is too great.
Zhang Zifeng poured himself a cup of tea, knelt down on both knees, and held up the cup, saying, "Teacher, please accept my bow."
Ning Ye accepted the tea and drank it all in one gulp. “Now that you’ve knelt down today, we’ll be master and disciple, sharing both honor and disgrace. I must be careful when I want your things and never give them to others easily.”
Zhang Zihe asked with some curiosity, "Young Master Ning, what you're teaching at the academy is already quite unusual. What is it that you're teaching now that you're so serious about it?"
Ning Ye uttered two words softly, "Science!"
Zhang Zihe pondered these two words repeatedly, but after racking his brains, he still had no idea where they came from.
Although Zhang Zifeng didn't know what it was, he was still very much looking forward to it. After all, he was very interested in the novel things Ning Ye talked about, at least they were different from those rigid things and could interest him.
"Never mind, anything Brother Ning brings out is bound to be good, and I'll like it very much."
Ning Ye affectionately patted Zhang Zifeng's head. "Well, I hope you can still say those things after reading those books. And I need to go back and get you some textbooks."
Little Zhang Zifeng had no idea what she was about to face, and Ning Ye could only go back to the mansion to bring all the books back, since suddenly bringing out so many books would probably be a bit excessive.
After careful consideration, Ning Ye took out the math and physics books first. As for chemistry, he would take it out later. After all, if those things in chemistry were really researched, who knows what kind of chaos it would cause?
Even so, Zhang Zifeng's eyes went black when she saw those two thick books that looked like bricks. Could she really read such thick books at such a young age?
Ning Ye said earnestly, "Start reading these two books from the beginning, take your time, don't rush. If there's anything you don't understand, figure it out yourself first, and then come to me if you still can't figure it out."
Zhang Zihe also said with some concern, "Young Master Ning, isn't this a bit too generous? This might be too difficult for Zifeng."
