Chapter 403 How could he stump the other party?
Only when Shen Youyou entered did she realize that it was an increase and subtraction algorithm.
The title is: "Hundreds of rabbits run into the camp, Many men and women come to fight for them. It is difficult for one person to catch all, Only four or three people can stop. They come and go, noisy and chaotic, Everyone catches one and goes home. If a wise man can count them, How many families can judge."
The general meaning is: "There are one hundred rabbits running into the camp from all directions. Men and women are scrambling to catch the rabbits. If each person catches one rabbit, there will be some left over. If three people catch four rabbits, then they will just finish all the rabbits. How many people are there to catch the rabbits?"
The question is actually very simple. In the past life, even an elementary school student could answer it.
Shen Youyou only took a quick look and said, "Mr. Lizheng, the key points of this question are, first, there are a total of 100 rabbits, and second, three people share four rabbits, which is just enough. The rest is useless."
Shen Youyou picked up the pen and wrote: "So, if three people form a group, then there are four rabbits in one group. Divide one hundred rabbits by four rabbits.
So there are a total of 25 groups, and one group consists of three people, so 25 groups multiplied by three people equals 75 people."
Tang Wen Zheng was shocked. Wasn't this girl too smart? How could this little girl know the solution to a problem that had stumped him for two days and one night just by looking at it?
What was even more incredible was that she just muttered a few words and I actually understood it, and felt that such a question was actually so simple.
Seeing the head of the village like that, Shen Youyou felt itchy to do something. Should she give him two difficult problems to solve?
But seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she still asked, "Mr. Lizheng, do you like numerology?"
Tang Wenzheng waved his hand: "Isn't this the case when I was meeting with my classmates before? One of them asked this difficult question, and none of us who were left could answer it, so I took it back to study it."
In fact, what he didn't say was that, as luck would have it, the person who asked this question was from Yangjia Village. The two villages had always been at odds, so how could he stump the other side?
Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "Yoyo, you are very good at mathematics. Did you learn it from your father?"
What could Shen Youyou say? She couldn't say that she learned this from her teacher in her previous life, could she? She could only nod.
Tang Wenzheng's eyes lit up: "Has your father ever given you any difficult questions? Give me one and I can solve it for them later."
This was exactly what Shen Youyou wanted. She wanted to say, "Village Chief, for the sake of your dark circles, I want to let you go, but since you took the initiative to ask for it, I'll just do it with reluctance."
She picked up her pen and wrote in one go: "A man uses a cart to load rice from place A to place B. The loaded cart travels 25 miles, while the empty cart travels 35 miles. The cart goes back and forth three times in five days. How many miles are the two places apart?"
Shen Youyou left a question and walked away leisurely, because she saw from the window that Grandma Cen called Third Grandma and her younger brother and sister-in-law over.
As soon as she entered the main hall of the village head's house, she heard his grandmother say, "Sisters-in-law, this is the situation. I will give you two taels of silver a month. As for the older girls and younger wives who come to work, I will give them five cents for making a hairpin.
If you make a complete set of headwear, the price is 300, 500, or 800 coins, depending on the complexity. But the more money you make, the longer it takes. And the headwear for 500 and 800 coins uses silver thread.
I, an old woman, have to put the ugly first. There is a limit to how much silver wire is used in a set of headwear. If you don’t have that level of skills, you basically won’t be allowed to make silver wire headwear. After all, although you can melt and re-draw the wire if you waste one, the labor cost is quite high.”
In fact, according to what Grandma Hua said, silver threads cannot be made for just anyone. What if someone hides one or two pieces? What will happen after a long time?
If she really wanted to make silver-thread headwear for outsiders, she would have to wait until after the Chinese New Year when they could build a house, and then build a new workshop. She would then feel at ease with her old sisters watching over it.
Even though her older sisters are not young anymore, they are very careful about making sure their family is not taken advantage of by others, as if they have hooks in their eyes.
I guess no one would refuse to give money, even Tang Wenzheng, who has a son who is an official.
Twenty-four taels of silver a year was not a small sum. After all, his family had a lot of land, and in a good year they could earn more than a hundred taels of silver.
The eldest son, Tang Yanli, gave the family fifty taels every year. He said that he could not always be around to fulfill his filial duties, so giving money was also a way for him to fulfill his filial duties.
So even Dou was happy to earn twenty-four taels a year without doing anything.
"Sister Hua, is there a limit on the number of people you want to recruit?"
Mrs. Hua must want to recruit more people. After all, they also cooperate with several businesses, and these businesses can also use the jewelry to other places.
The housekeeper of Xingxin Commercial Bank had revealed to them before: "These hairpins and shoe soles are very popular when they are shipped to other places. They are said to be popular in Beijing, and everyone is buying them like crazy."
So the old lady was not worried about not being able to sell the products: "I don't have any limit on the number of people here, but from my point of view, I can only allow about 20 people from each of you. If there are more, it will be too crowded and difficult to manage."
Tang Xin's grandmother patted Old Lady Hua's hand and said, "Yes, yes, now that we know how many people to recruit, we have an idea in mind. We will definitely make this matter a success and select the most skillful young ladies and wives in the village."
"Okay, I'm sure I'll trust you with it. You guys pick the people today, and I'll send my granddaughters to teach them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when you've chosen the right people."
After discussing the serious business, just chat about small things. You can't go to someone for something and then leave right after you finish discussing the serious business, right?
So Shen Youyou really understood that she had a lot of breasts and could fool people this time,
Grandma Cen's brother and sister-in-law praised: "Look at the good relationship among your clan, just like a family, so many people work together to make money, and there is no lazy and greedy person.
Before we fled from the famine, our relationship was very good, right?"
Her grandmother said: "We were very good. We never had a quarrel. If there was any problem, we just shouted and the villagers would help. Only my third son got the news in the city and rushed back as fast as he could.
No matter what, we have to take all the tribe members with us to escape the famine. This is also because the tribe has done a favor to my family.
When my third son was taking the college entrance exam, every household in the clan contributed money."
Shen Youyou thought to herself, "Hasn't anyone ever blushed? You and my Second Grandma, right?"
But the old lady really didn't want to tell others how they had fought in the same village. After all, rouge is put on the face, and who doesn't want to show others their good side.
Besides, don’t underestimate talking to these old ladies in the village. If you say something serious, it will spread all over the place in less than half a day.
In fact, it’s not that they have bad intentions and like to spread gossip. Village women are just like that. They have nothing to do every day, so don’t they like to gossip about other people?
The people of their nine clans are already too few in front of Tangjia Village. If they don’t let them know of their unity now, then when will they know?
It's just like two brothers fighting in a village. Basically, not many people would look up to these two brothers because even brothers are fighting.
Outsiders will think that you are isolated and helpless. Who else can they bully if not you?
