Chapter 27 Answer three questions correctly and get a shop as a reward
[Congratulations to the host for passing the 'Worship the God of Wealth' and obtaining a carriage x1. It has been added to the inventory.]
Jiusu sat up from the bed, instantly awake. A carriage? This was a luxury in ancient times. The most convenient transportation in Chenjia Village was an oxcart. She parked the carriage in the yard and bought some horse feed.
She untied the rope on the horse, touched the white horse's hair, and saw the white horse rubbed her cheek affectionately.
"As expected, it's a gift from the God of Wealth. You're truly psychic. From now on, your name will be Jieran."
Being alone, I am not afraid of the future.
Jie Ran: “Hiss~”
When Mrs. Lu heard the sound, she followed blindly.
"Su'er, why do I hear a horse neighing?"
"Mother has such a good eye." Jiusu took her hand and placed it on the horse. When Lu Shi touched the horse, she shrank back in fear. "Jiran is very obedient."
A smile appeared on Lu's lips. She stroked the horse's body and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a good horse. You must take good care of it."
Suddenly, Jiusu's fingers paused slightly.
What did her mother-in-law just call her, Su... Su'er? Thinking about it this way, she didn't know when she started calling her mother-in-law "mother". Her eyes flickered slightly. Her marriage with Chen Zhao was in name only, but her relationship with her mother-in-law was getting better and better.
It's been a long time since I came here.
Her mother-in-law was the best person to her.
She was sweeping the dust from the stable, looking at her mother-in-law rinsing the horse trough, and suggested, "Why don't you live with me?"
Mrs. Lu lowered her head, hesitating for a long time, then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, if you leave Zhao'er, you will have to get married in the future. From what I heard last night, the Qian family and the Jiang family were fighting over you. If you take me with you, it will be difficult to find a husband. Besides, Zhao'er will come back, so what's the point of me following my daughter-in-law?"
Seeing this, Jiusu couldn't persuade him anymore.
"Mom, if one day Chen Zhao and I were on opposite sides, who would you choose?"
After asking, she smiled to herself, what was there to choose? It seemed like she was being too sentimental.
Mrs. Lu looked up, and her blindfolded eyes seemed to see her daughter-in-law. She choked and said, "I will stand by Zhao'er and always be by your side." She held Jiusu's hand, and the feeling of reluctance kept spreading in her heart.
Jiusu hurriedly advised: "Mom, don't be sad, it's my fault."
As the rain began to fall, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried back to the yard. Jiusu lived in the master bedroom, while Lu was afraid of loneliness and didn't want to live alone in the yard, so she lived in the west room.
Settle the Lu family.
Jiusu went to the house that Manager Fang mentioned. There was a long line at the door. One person went in and one person came out, and the time it took was less than ten seconds. What kind of question is this? It's so difficult?
She put on her veil and patted it politely, "Brother, what's so difficult?"
"Some math problems." The man put his hand on his big belly, not knowing what to say. "I can't say whether they're difficult or not. Anyway, it's been three days, and almost everyone in town has come, but no one can figure it out."
Jiusu was surprised: "If it's so difficult, why are we still queuing?"
This team is extremely long, it has almost caused a sensation in the whole city.
The man laughed heartily: "What if I get the answer right? Then I can get this shop for free, right? And if I sell it, I won't have to worry about anything in my life."
It's free, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
The servant opened the door and called out, "Next."
Jiusu also saw the man coming out shaking his head. She stepped through the door and saw the questions on the table. The servant saw that it was a woman and shook his head helplessly, wasting his breath, "Can you read? Do you want me to help you read it?"
"No need." Jiusu said.
The servant suddenly realized that she was a young lady from a wealthy family and could read. He became more polite and said, "Three questions, one stick of incense. If you can't figure it out, you can leave early. It's not shameful."
Jiusu nodded, and seeing that the hourglass had started to count down, he stole a glance at the person leaning on a recliner not far away, listening to music.
She sat down and looked at the questions above. They were, uh, math problems, quite simple ones. She bent over and did them carefully.
Question 1: There are seventy-five apples. How many can five people share?
Jiusu did the math mentally and wrote fifteen next to it.
Question 2: There are 49 chickens and rabbits in total, with a total of 100 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are there?
Jiusu raised an eyebrow. Isn't this just chickens and rabbits in the same cage? It was difficult when I was learning, but now it seems quite simple. Let the chicken be x and the rabbit be y...
List the formula and calculate the answer.
1 rabbit and 48 chickens.
Question 3: There are 1,700 people, and each of them raises 78 pigs and 134 ducks. How many ducks and pigs are there in total?
1700x(78+134)
=1700x212
=360400 (pieces)
Before the incense had even finished burning, Jiusu had already finished her calculations. She replaced the answers with numbers that the ancients could understand. At that time, Arabic numerals might not have been introduced yet. Jiusu handed the paper to the servant and said, "It's done."
"Please go out this way..." The servant woke up from his sleep when he heard the voice.
He took the paper and asked the person to leave as usual.
Jiusu's mouth twitched, "I've finished three questions. Can I buy your shop?"
The servant came back to his senses. He looked at the paper covered with words and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Oh my God! Master! Someone has solved three problems! You, you look!"
The person behind the screen was also getting nervous.
He walked out directly after opening the curtain, scanned the answer sheet, and exclaimed: "Every answer is accurate. May I ask what your name is, young lady?"
"Long."
"My last name is Qiu."
Qiu Shishu clasped his fists and gestured for the woman to sit down. Then, he instructed, "Go and serve some good tea, and close the shop door. I've found someone who can solve the problem, so let them all go."
Outside the door.
Just as the next person was about to go in, a servant came out with a smile on his face. He looked at the long queue and said loudly, "Three questions have been answered. Bosses, madams, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, please disperse and go home to rest."
Someone asked: "Who figured it out? Which Wenquxing reincarnation is this?"
"That's not something you can say." The servant smiled, and no matter how they tried to trick him, he just left this sentence and turned back to the house.
At this time, Qiu Shishu was studying the steps of arithmetic. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would humbly ask for advice. After an incense stick of time had passed, he felt like his brain was about to explode. What was "multiplication table", what was "vertical form", and what was "mental arithmetic".
He had studied arithmetic for half his life, but his skills were still not as good as her mental arithmetic.
"It's really shocking."
Qiu Shishu had the paper copied several times and sent it out by carrier pigeon. Then he turned around and said embarrassedly, "Miss Jiu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was so excited. Please forgive me."
"Ahem, it's nothing." Jiusu cleared his throat. "Shopkeeper Fang introduced me here. He wants to buy a shop."
Qiu Shishu remembered the important matter and took out the shop deed.
"Miss Jiu, if you answer three questions correctly, this shop will be yours."
"How can there be a free lunch in the world? What is Mr. Qiu...?" Jiusu looked at the deed on the table, confusion in his eyes.
Qiu Shishu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiu, we won't force or make things difficult for you. It's just that my master needs talents like you. When he comes here, please meet him."
