"Why don't you dare?"
Qian Duobao sneered.
If he couldn't even compare to a little girl of several years old in the way of calculation, then he wouldn't have the shame to go back to Qian's house.
Just find a piece of tofu and kill him head on.
And if you want to play, play big.
Qian Duobao said: "This bet is too small. Do you dare to play bigger?"
Li Mubai did not answer immediately, but looked back at Zhao Ping. When Zhao Ping nodded, he asked: "How much do you want to bet?"
"If I lose, I will work for Mr. Zhao sincerely."
Qian Duobao said: "If I am lucky enough to win, please give me the recipe of acacia wine, Mr. Zhao."
"I can also take him to the Qian family in the capital to revive him."
"this……"
Li Mubai hesitated again.
He looked back at Zhao Ping again.
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "As long as you can outsmart Xiaoxiao, let alone the acacia wine formula, even soap and frosting sugar, I can agree to cooperate with the Qian family."
Qian Duobao's eyes lit up, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely true."
Zhao Ping said.
"Words don't work, we need to put down the evidence in writing."
"Can."
Zhao Ping didn't talk nonsense.
All they prepared were paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and documents were drawn up on the spot.
The script is very simple.
Qian Duobao won, and Zhao Ping agreed to cooperate with the Qian family to sell acacia wine, soap, and frosting sugar.
Zhao Xiaoxiao won, and Qian Duobao served Xiping Village honestly.
Of course, this bet is not good for Zhao Ping.
After all, obedience is just words, you have to be sincere.
For example, if you ask him to do this, he says he can’t do it; if you ask him to do that, he doesn’t understand.
I stayed in Xiping Village, but my heart was not there.
The cooperation that Zhao Ping writes about is also vague.
I did promise you, but the problem is whether the quantity is large or small.
It's like exploiting a loophole in the contract.
And Zhao Ping didn’t think he would lose.
After all, Zhao Xiaoxiao's talent in mathematics is amazing.
Ever since she came into contact with numbers in Xiping Village and learned about the four arithmetic operations, she had almost mastered basic arithmetic in just a few days.
Next comes solving the equation.
Linear equations of one variable, linear equations of two variables, linear equations of three variables, quadratic equations of one variable, quadratic equations of two variables.
Although Zhao Xiaoxiao also made mistakes, if he took his time, he could at least figure them out.
Then there are word problems, equations, etc.
For example, a chicken and a rabbit live in the same cage.
In front of Zhao Xiaoxiao, it was like paper. With a little thought, he could get it all done.
In terms of mathematical knowledge alone, Zhao Xiaoxiao has already completed nine years of compulsory education in his previous life.
Almost everyone understands and learns it as soon as they hear it. Sometimes when Li Mubai encounters a mathematical problem and can't figure it out, and cannot find Zhao Ping, he always asks Zhao Xiaoxiao to discuss it.
Neither of them could solve the problem, so they asked Zhao Ping again.
It almost wiped out the little mathematical knowledge in Zhao Ping's memory.
If he loses to Qian Duobao, it can only show that Qian Duobao is a rare talent.
Then it would be even more impossible for him to leave Xiping Village.
I have to tie him here.
Rules, best of three.
Zhao Ping set the questions on the spot, and all the examiners were present.
The first question is super difficult, multiply 999999 by 999999.
The first one to come up with the answer was Zhao Xiaoxiao.
She had already told the numbers, while Qian Duobao was still fiddling with the abacus.
"How did you calculate it?"
Qian Duobao was unconvinced, "It must be a lie. You knew the answer in advance."
"I want to see what you wrote on the paper."
"If it is true, then I will admit that this game is lost."
Without giving Zhao Xiaoxiao a chance to answer, Qian Duobao had already poked his head over.
Then……
I saw a bunch of symbols that I didn't recognize, it was a mess like ghostly symbols.
Qian Duobao immediately sneered, "You are cheating."
"She's not counting at all."
"I'm not convinced."
"How about you come up with a question?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and said.
Qian Duobao was not polite and asked a question on the spot. He came up with a normal difficulty question, which was 5555 times 6666.
He didn't know the answer either.
After that, I started to make an abacus.
Zhao Xiaoxiao had already laid out the vertical formulas and started calculating.
He kept mumbling: "Five, six, thirty... three plus three equals six... the result is..."
"Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred and thirty."
The two said their answers almost at the same time.
"Did you really figure it out?"
Qian Duobao said in shock.
Although he told the answer at the same time, it was obvious that he had lost.
Zhao Xiaoxiao is not just scribbling on paper, but has real talent and learning.
It’s just that I don’t know what she is painting.
Xiping Village also did not cheat.
Zhao Ping didn't say anything, but Yun Su had already started to sarcastically say something.
After a few words, Qian Duobao's face turned red and his neck became thick with shame.
However, in order to get the acacia wine formula, Qian Duobao endured it and let Zhao Ping continue to pose questions.
The second question is an application question, a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage.
This is the home field advantage.
However, it was Qian Duobao who gave the answer first.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxiao had just made up the equation and hadn't solved it yet.
"Wait a minute, I'm almost done."
Zhao Xiaoxiao quickly solved the equation without raising his head.
In a moment, she also got the answer, which was the same as what Qian Duobao got.
"You can't tell me my answer directly, can you?"
Qian Duobao said a little suspiciously.
After all, even some officials in the Dawei Dynasty could not solve the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. I wonder how many outstanding people were killed.
Now he was being rescued by a little girl of several years old.
Qian Duobao couldn't believe it.
"How about you come up with another one?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao: "If I can figure it out, do I win this game?"
"this……"
Of course Qian Duobao doesn't want to.
Even if she wins, she has already won two games, and she will definitely lose.
"Forget it, sir, please ask the third question."
Qian Duobao said bitterly.
The third question is highly difficult and is also a classic ancient mathematics question.
There is a silver branch next door.
"I only heard that the customers next door were sharing the silver. I don't know the number of people, but I don't know the silver. A portion of four taels is more than four taels, and a portion of half a catty is less than half a catty. I would like to ask the two contestants, how many guests and how much silver?"
(In order to pay tribute to ancient classic mathematical problems, one pound here is sixteen taels, and half a pound is eight taels.)
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Duobao said in surprise: "I have seen this question before."
"I'll figure it out now. I'll definitely be able to do it first..."
However, before he finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoxiao had already given the answer.
"Three guests, sixteen taels of silver."
"impossible."
Qian Duobao said in disbelief: "How did you figure out the answer so quickly?"
"This is a difficult problem passed down from ancient times. Even in our Qian family, many people got together and brainstormed for three days before we finally got the answer."
"Specific solution to the problem..."
"How stupid."
Zhao Xiaoxiao said disgustedly: "Don't you know how to use a linear equation of one variable?"
"What is a linear equation of one variable?"
Qian Duobao was puzzled.
"That's it."
Zhao Xiaoxiao handed Qian Duobao his calculation process.
There was a bunch of things inside that I didn't recognize.
No, there are also people I know.
For example, plus sign, minus sign, equal sign, ×.
But can we get the answer by combining these things together?
Amazing, right?
"Qian Duobao, the winner should be decided, right?"
Li Mubai asked.
"I……"
Qian Duobao hesitated and was speechless.
Best of three.
Zhao Xiaoxiao won two games.
Even in the middle game, Zhao Xiaoxiao's speed was a little slower. If she was given a moment more, she could have solved it.
This calculation ability is far beyond his own.
Qian Duobao admired him from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to kidnap Zhao Xiaoxiao and use it for the Qian family.
"Qian Duobao, do you want to learn the method Xiaoxiao just solved?"
Just as he was daydreaming, Zhao Ping asked lightly.
