Chapter 20 I Want to Hire You
Li Chunfeng explained: "No, no, before leaving the house, the master told me that my uncle needs to bring some more when visiting Chang'an for the first time, so my nephew brought a little too much, I'm afraid it's too much, and it's not suitable for gambling!"

how many?Bai Fan asked.

"Uh, 100 taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, and not many copper coins!"

Hahaha, what a good nephew!Really support yourself!
"Young masters, you have seen the money of 100 taels! To be honest, if you can't get it, I don't want to waste your time. We still have to eat!" It was Bai Fan's turn to mock!

As the saying goes, you can't lose when you lose. As a typical second-generation official in the Qin Palace, although Changsun Chong and the others didn't bring so much money when they went out, they had a lot of money on them. All the money on his body was counted, and Bai Fan, who was the incarnation of Zhou, counted up to 100 taels before he could start gambling!
The method of the competition is very simple and straightforward, that is, the two sides pose questions to each other, until one party fails to answer, it will be regarded as a loser, if they cannot answer, it will be counted as a tie, and continue to change the questions to answer!
Taking advantage of it, Bai Fan graciously let the elder Sun Chong write the question first.

Chang Sun Chong looked at the table of belongings, and didn't dare to be careless, he directly took out the most difficult question he knew and asked it!

After listening to the topic, Bai Fan laughed, thinking how difficult it would be, the whole day was just a problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage!

It is recorded in "Sun Tzu Suan Jing": Today there are pheasant and rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. Ask how many pheasant rabbits are?

This is the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage!
Seeing Bai Fan laughing, Chang Sun Chong said a little uneasy: "Stop bluffing, whether you can solve it or not, just admit defeat!"

Cheng Huaimo's side retorted: "Such a difficult topic, sir naturally needs to think about it, please don't bother me!"

Bai Fan paused for a moment, and after thinking for less than five seconds, he had an answer, and said, "The answer is that there are 23 pheasants and twelve rabbits!"

Karma!The voices of the laughing crowd stopped abruptly, Chang Sun Chong seemed to be stuck in the neck, with an unbelievable look in his eyes, he stammered: "How is it possible, even my arithmetic master can't solve this problem Yes, how can you solve it? You must know the answer in advance, right?"

Cheng Huaimo was dissatisfied, and shouted: "Chang Sunchong, you are really despicable. It is really abominable to make things difficult for your teacher! Now that your husband can solve it, you use excuses to shirk it. Hehe, are you afraid of losing? , Do you want to renege on your debt? With our brothers here today, don’t even think about it!”

Bai Fan's heart warmed slightly, he didn't expect Cheng Huaimo to really show his loyalty when they met for the first time!
"Isn't it just a problem of pheasants and rabbits in the same cage? I've played it badly since I was a child!

Now that I have answered the question, it is my turn to ask the question, and the son will answer it. I will not take advantage of you. If you ask the question based on "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", I will ask the same question!

It is still the problem of pheasant rabbits in the same cage. Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage. There are 24 heads on the top and 72 feet on the bottom. How about the pheasant rabbits? "

Li Chunfeng, who was standing behind, couldn't help covering his eyes, his little uncle is really too bad!What he said was righteous enough, but his heart was extremely black-bellied. The other party had already said before that even his arithmetic master could not solve it, that is to say, the eldest son Chong must not be able to solve this problem.

Now the little uncle just changed the number, but he behaved incomparably righteous and awe-inspiring, saying that he didn't take advantage of you...

Ladies and gentlemen, Li is here to mourn for you!
The little uncle is worthy of being my idol, he can pretend to be invisible casually!By the way, you can even make a lot of money, amazing!
Chang Sun Chong didn't know that in a short period of time, Li Chunfeng had seen through everything, and saw that his forehead was already sweating, and he really couldn't solve this problem by himself!

This time it was Cheng Huaimo's turn to taunt, "Is it okay, Changsun Xiaobailian, if you can't, just admit defeat, go home and eat milk for a few more years! It's time to make up your mind!"

The eldest grandson blushed anxiously, and finally glared at Bai Fan and a group of gangsters, all the anger and resentment turned into a flick of his sleeve, snorted coldly, and went downstairs with a few guards!

The brothers behind looked at the belongings on the table with pain in their faces, and finally chased after them unwillingly!

Bai Fan laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha! Martial nephew, today is really lucky, it's a good start! Hurry up and collect the money, don't be afraid that you won't be able to carry it, we came here on horseback!"

No wonder Bai Fan was happy, a table of belongings, which could be converted into 3000 taels of silver, was actually said to be one thousand taels by Bai Fankeng. I don't know if the second generation of officials will be beaten to death when they go home!
Cheng Huaimo pulled Bai Fan to sit down with admiration on his face. He was very grateful to Bai Fan who helped out in the crisis, and also admired his ability. You must know that among the students in the same class, the eldest grandson Xiaobailian is often praised by the teacher!
"Sir, sir is a great talent, I admire Huaimo, dare to ask your name, sir is so proficient in counting, Huaimo would like to invite you to my house, I wonder if it is possible?" Cheng Huaimo bowed to Bai Fan, although Bai Fan read He is younger than himself, but martial arts practitioners always respect capable people!
Bai Fan rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "My name is Bai Fan. Although I am proficient in counting, and dare to say that the whole Tang Dynasty has never surpassed me in counting, but if you want to invite me to teach counting at your home, I guess you will ask me to teach counting." I'm sorry, you know my appearance fee is very high!"

Li Chunfeng is speechless, his little uncle is good at everything, but he is too greedy for money, like a reincarnated boy of good fortune, he never leaves money in a few words!
this!Cheng Huaimo didn't expect that the other party would answer like this, "No, Mr. Bai, I didn't mean that!"

"Oh? That's not what you mean? That means you want to learn to count with me alone? Also, your family may be rich, and you may be able to afford it!
That doesn't work either. If I teach you alone, that's a small lesson for you, and the fee will be more expensive!
But I have always been honest in my work, you get what you pay for, as long as you can afford it, I can guarantee that you will surpass that Chang Sun Chong with ease! "Bai Fan said narcissistically, but he was even happier in his heart. Is this the rhythm of being a student for me? Should I agree? If I can earn a lot of money and receive students, then my super book The authority of the museum can be improved!

But obviously his calculation was wrong, and Cheng Huaimo explained: "Sir, you misunderstood, I see that you are so proficient in calculations, and I want to hire you to be my accountant. Don't worry, I strongly recommend you." , let you be the chief accountant at home!"

Click!Like a bolt from the blue, Bai Fan was awakened from his dream!
"You, what are you talking about? No, it's not the teacher? It's the accountant? Are you kidding me?"

"Although I really admire my master's level of arithmetic, I already have Mr. Xi as my teacher, so I dare not take another teacher!" Cheng Huaimo explained, but he thought to himself, you are so young, if I ask you to be my teacher , I am afraid that I will be beaten to death by my father when I go back!

Bai Fan was dissatisfied. It turned out that he was not an apprentice, so what are you talking about with me here?Mr. accountant?Hmph, whoever loves to do it!If the expected goal is not achieved, naturally the interest will be lacking!

After saying hello and farewell to Cheng Huaimo, we stopped talking and started eating and drinking with Li Chunfeng!
When Brother Cheng Huaimo returned home, he happened to be caught by Cheng Yaojin. Apart from anything else, Cheng Yaojin beat him with a stick first, forcing his son to make a vow never to play truant again, and then stopped to ask. The experience of the two today!
"Daddy, the boy took his younger brother to Wangjinglou for dinner today!"

The old demon Cheng scolded: "You son of a bitch, don't you eat and drink less at home? If you want you to play truant and be greedy, you are going to make trouble, right?"

Cheng Huailiang was younger, so he was very afraid of his father, so he immediately replied: "It wasn't us, it was Chang Sun Chong who bullied people first!"

what happened?

Taking pictures of his father's majesty, Cheng Huaimo explained the restaurant incident in detail!

Cheng Yaojin nodded as he listened, although he secretly scolded his son for being stupid and losing even the calculations, but at the end he laughed: Mmm!Very good, as long as you don't suffer!And the thing about paying the bill with gold in one hand, very good!Have the demeanor of your father and me!
Cheng Huai was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to be praised by his father!
So he went on to say: "Dad, you don't know, the Mr. Bai Fan who rescued me today is actually younger than me, and he is also very interesting. He also said that he wants to take children as students and teach me how to count!
But Hai'er thought to himself, if he recognized him as a teacher, wouldn't he be laughed to death by others?So I found an excuse to push it down! "

Originally, Cheng Huaimo, who was secretly proud of his wit, thought that he would be praised by his father again, but what happened next was a tragedy!
Old Demon Cheng stood up and asked, "Who are you talking about? Bai Fan? A Bai Fan who is younger than you?"

Mmm!it's him!

With a dark face, he turned around and picked up the stick beside him again, Cheng Yaojin shouted: "Ni Zi, don't run away, see if I don't beat you to death today, you idiot!"
