Chapter 35 Strange Arithmetic Problems

Lan Xiaocui looked at the strange eyes of the people on the street and asked, "You said there is a way to sell air conditioners, what is the way?"

"Actually, there is no way, but staying at home can't come up with a solution. No one knows those high-ranking officials and nobles, and they can't get in even if they want to sell. I think those who do business on the street must have money, so I want to ask."

"Haha, that's not the same as shopping, that's fun."

"Yes, it's just shopping." Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect that ancient women and modern women had one similarity, that is, they like shopping.

Qian Xiaoxing saw a jewelry store on the side of the road, filled with all kinds of jewelry. Qian Xiaoxing went in and asked, "Boss, do you need air conditioners here? It's something that can keep summer warm, do you want it?"

"Things aren't hot in summer?" asked the thin boss at the counter, "What's the price, how much?"

"One hundred taels."

"What a joke, brother? Don't say 100 taels, don't even want 10 taels. I'll consider it if one taels." The boss smiled.

"One or two? You can sell me one." Qian Xiaoxing saw that there was too much difference and couldn't agree, so he walked out of the store helplessly. However, when he saw Lan Xiaocui looking at the jewelry in the store, he asked: "Xiaocui likes that, I'll buy it for you."

Lan Xiaocui was afraid that Qian Xiaoxing would spend money randomly, so she replied: "No, I don't like it, there are many at home."

"Well, these jewelry are so average, so they deserve our beautiful Xiao Cui. I will buy it for you when I see it well in the future." Qian Xiaoxing thought, when he made money, he would buy expensive ones for Xiao Cui. The money earned is to be spent, and what is spent is to make people happy.

The two of them then went to other stores to ask. The boss was very interested in air conditioning. When he heard a hundred taels, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

It seems that these shop owners are not very rich, and Qian Xiaoxing thought about whether there is any problem with his sales strategy.

The two of them continued to ask a few more with the boss's ridicule, but the answer was the same. Qian Xiaoxing saw a food store in front and asked the last one. If he couldn't sell it, go home.

There were rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the food store. Qian Xiaoxing saw that there was a table in the store and was too tired, so he sat on a stool with Lan Xiaocui to rest.

The owner of the store is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and has two beards. When Qian Xiaoxing mentioned his intention, the boss said he would not buy it.

Although Qian Xiaoxing had already expected this result, he sighed disappointedly. He was too tired and said he was thirsty. The store was still cool, and Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but sit for a while.

When the boss saw the two of them sitting and not leaving, he asked, "Are you two buying things?"

“Not buying.”

"Why don't you buy it and sit here? Don't hinder my business, leave quickly!" the store owner urged.

"There is no one in the store now, what's the point of letting us sit down? You boss, can't sit down if you don't buy anything?" Qian Xiaoxing replied unhappy when he heard that he was upset.

Lan Xiaocui sat aside and pulled Qian Xiaoxing's sleeves and said softly: "Let's go."

"This store only entertains customers who buy things. If you don't buy it, please get out!" The owner of the store couldn't help but sigh and sounded worse and worse when he saw that the two of them wanted to stay away.

"I said, "You boss, can you do business and have any brains? One plus one is equal to a few, you can't count it!" Qian Xiaoxing really wanted to stay away after hearing what he said.

"You poor boy can't count it. I'm the best accountant on the street. I don't need to make a numeral. I don't need to say much to you. Get out of here, otherwise I'm not polite." The boss said as he walked out of the counter and was about to coax people.

"Oh, it's the best account. Then I'll ask a question to see if you can calculate it! If you calculate it, we will leave immediately and buy one or two silver items in your store." Qian Xiaoxing only had one or two silver items in his pocket. In order to make a sigh, he took it aside, he would have to eat everything he bought, and he would not lose money.

"What kind of question, please tell me!" The boss was very confident in his accounting.

"The question is very simple, please listen: three people went to a hotel, and there were ten cents a night. The three of them paid the boss ten cents each, and the boss received a total of thirty cents." Qian Xiaoxing glanced at the boss.

"That's right, there are thirty cents in total." The boss also remembered it silently in his heart.

"After the boss took the money back, he suddenly realized that there was a discount today, so he took out five cents and asked the guy to return it to three people. After the guy got five cents, it was difficult to repay it to three people, so he secretly hid two cents and paid one cent for each person."

"Well, what's the question?" the boss asked clearly by remembering the numbers.

"Okay, the question is out. Each of the three of them originally gave ten cents. Now the guy gave them a piece of paper, which means they each gave nine papers, 3927 papers. In addition, the guy embezzled two papers, which was a total of twenty-nine papers. But at the beginning, the three of them each took out ten papers, and the total was thirty papers. Asked: Where is this paper?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

Qian Xiaoxing saw this question before he traveled through time. He thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out. Today I will use it to test him and see how the IQ of this ancient accountant is.

"Thirty-nine twenty-seven, twenty-seven plus two s, why isn't it thirty silence?" The boss said quietly, touching his beard, walking around for a long time, then went to the counter to take out the chips and calculate it. The so-called chips are small bamboo sticks, some represent a hundred, some represent ten, and some are one.

Seeing that they had not even invented the abacus, it is still hard to say whether they can memorize the 99 multiplication table.

"How is it? Have you calculated it? Such a simple question is not correct, and you are still doing the accounting!" Qian Xiaoxing smiled and thought. Although he said it was simple, he still didn't do it. Later, he went to Baidu to find out the answer, but this tone was released.

"No, I'm waiting for a while." The boss said while putting the chips around.

"It's dark when I'm waiting, we've sat for enough. Even the account owner like you didn't drive you. You're really lucky. Xiao Cui, let's go." Qian Xiaoxing also took a break and stood up and was about to leave.

"Stay on, please stay!" At this time, a man walked out of the back of the store. He saw that the man had a bun with a neat and shiny hair. He had bright big eyes under his sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, but he was very handsome.

The man was wearing a pre-white robe, holding a fan in his hand, bent down and bowed gently.

Oh, there is actually a man as handsome as me, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Who are you?" Qian Xiaoxing asked curiously.

"I am the owner of our store. I offended the account just now, please forgive me." The man replied.

"Oh, we don't buy things in your store, what do you keep us for? If you don't buy things in your store, you can't enter. I'd better leave." Qian Xiaoxing pulled Lan Xiaocui and was about to leave.

"Don't blame me, little brother, please apologize with me." The man's eyes signaled.
