Chapter 89 A Problem

In order not to scare passers-by with his own face, Bailiyan prepared a silver mask to wear on his face.

Looking at the overcrowded scene of Fangji Restaurant, he seemed to have expected it long ago, and did not show any surprise.

Hou Yongqing wanted to go over to inquire, but he didn't stop him. He just let the store people work step by step with a normal expression.

After a while, Hou Yongqing ran in excitedly.

"Bai Liyan, do you know why the restaurant across the street is so popular? They actually asked customers a difficult problem. As long as they can solve their difficult problem, they can get 10 taels of silver. You can participate only by spending [-] cash in the restaurant.

Bailiyan, I want to go to the noodle restaurant opposite, do you want to go? "

The corner of Bailiyan's mouth twitched, and then he thought of something, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You want to go over and solve that problem? Can anyone who participated in solving the problem at the noodle restaurant across the street solve it? What is that problem you have seen? Does it look good? Are you sure you can answer it?"

Hou Yongqing nodded and shook his head again, "I asked those who solved the problem, but they didn't say anything, and I haven't seen what the problem looks like? But I think with my clever mind, I should be able to solve it! Sure it can!"

Hou Yongqing is incomparably confident, thinking that she is also a modern person who has received more than ten years of education, what problems can be difficult for her here!
Two hundred coins are not much, so it is not bad to let her try her luck, maybe 10 taels of silver can be easily obtained!

Bailiyan couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he nodded in agreement, "Then you go!"

"Aren't you going with me?"

"My face was out of fashion in the past, you should go!"

Hou Yongqing glanced at Bailiyan's mask, feeling inexplicably sour again.

"Then I'll go!" Hou Yongqing looked back at him worriedly.

"Well, let's go!" Bailiyan's lips curled up, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I really went?" Hou Yongqing emphasized again, as if expecting Bailiyan to say something more.

"Go ahead, it's just across the street. I'm really not afraid that you will get lost, and I'm not afraid that you will be ashamed if you go out. I can only send you to the door!"

Bailiyan leaned against the shop door with his hands folded and looked at her with a half-smile.

Hou Yongqing finally couldn't help it, and complained, "Well, do you have to advance my wages, how can I go there if I don't have money?"

"puff!"

Bailiyan smiled and gave her a tael of silver from the counter.

This week, Papi was playing tricks on him. If he took the initiative to give her money, she would treat it as a gift, and she wouldn't have to pay it back. Hey, he just didn't say anything. Let's see how long this girl can hold back.

Hehe, I can't hold back!

Hou Yongqing gritted his teeth and took the money, and walked into the restaurant opposite in a huff.

When the shopkeeper of Fangji Restaurant saw Hou Yongqing, he immediately smiled obsequiously, "Oh, the girl is really a rare customer. It's the first time I come back to my restaurant for dinner. What do you need?"

Hou Yongqing was not in a hurry to speak, but instead asked, "I heard that you can participate in a chance to solve difficult problems if you spend two hundred coins here. Is it true or not? It can't be a lie, right?"

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Fang was very confident, "Girl, how can I be a lie? Don't worry, I will never deceive the guests this time. Look, I will prepare all the money." alright!"

Shopkeeper Fang patted the box under his counter, and opened a gap for Hou Yongqing to see.

Sure enough, it was full of white silver.

Seeing this, Hou Yongqing was relieved a lot. She coughed lightly and continued to ask, "What question did you ask? Can you let me take a look first?"

"Girl, you can only have a chance to watch this after consumption, and there is only one chance, girl, why don't you have something to eat first?"

Shopkeeper Fang narrowed his eyes as he smiled. He didn't know that this method could make money. Seeing that even the little girl who had been fighting with him on the opposite side came to cheer him on, if he knew he wouldn't have to lose so much!

Fortunately, those two masters patronized his small shop, which brought his restaurant back to life.

He earned enough 500 taels of silver today, he must thank these two people well.

Hou Yongqing curled his lips, handed over [-] Wen and opened his mouth and said, "That's all right, pack up the edible food in your store for me, and make up enough [-] Wen for me, I'm only interested in the problems you raise!"

"Okay! Girl, wait a moment!"

Shopkeeper Fang turned his head and told Xiaoer to prepare for Hou Yongqing first, and then came down to a private room at Hou Yongqing's urging.

There was a tray on the table, and the whole object was covered with red silk. Shopkeeper Fang opened the red silk, revealing a square-shaped object.

"Girl, this is a square cake made of millet. This is a knife. If you can divide this piece of millet cake into more than ten pieces within four knives, and you can't stack and move, you will pass the test! "

"Can you win 10 taels?"

At this time, her voice was surprised and excited, and it was obvious that she had already won the 10 taels.

Shopkeeper Fang was excited when he saw her, and couldn't help reminding, "Girl, don't be too happy, there are many people who have tried it before you, and they all think it's easy, but no one can do it in four weeks. More than ten pieces can be cut out within the knife!"

Hou Yongqing lightly, if others can't cut it, can't she too?
What a pity, she happened to have done such a question in school before, and the teacher explained the answer, and today she was able to take home 10 taels!

"Stop moaning, give me the knife!"

Hou Yongqing smiled confidently and generously, and was about to cut it, when he suddenly remembered something, turned to the shopkeeper and said,
"I think I can get the 10 taels, or I'll try outside! I'm afraid you won't keep your promise if I do it!"

Shopkeeper Fang choked, and couldn't help but said, "Girl, you're not making fun of me, you are the king's man, how could I not keep my promise..."

Just as he was talking, shopkeeper Fang was suddenly pulled by a woman, and then whispered something in his ear.

Shopkeeper Fang immediately understood, raised his head and said to Hou Yongqing, "Girl, you can do this if you want to, but if you do it outside, it will leak the question type. If you can't cut it out, we won't give you a penny of 10 taels." , you still have to post 10 taels, but if you cut it out, you can take all the 10 taels, and what’s more, if you cut out an extra piece, we’ll give you another 1000 taels, how about it?”

"That would be great, let's do it!"

After receiving Hou Yongqing's words, shopkeeper Fang immediately asked people to start preparing.

He asked someone to set up a table at the door of the store, and asked the waiter to make a good announcement at the door, causing more and more people to stop and watch.

In the lobby, two strangely dressed men and women sitting in the corner stared at Hou Yongqing curiously.

"Brother, do you think she can figure it out? We will save this difficult problem and go to the Qi Palace to deal with them, just in case..."

"Don't worry, even if it leaks out, I still have other problems. Besides, I heard from the shopkeeper Fang that this girl is from the king's residence. Why don't we take a look first!"

Nalan Xiuyu was immediately relieved when he heard the words. If this woman is cut out, the credit will be on King Lin. According to the spies, King Lin has a beautiful face and has contributed a lot to the Qi State. He is the most likely to become the next Qi State. God's people!
