The Second Red Dust Inn (Part 2)

"Listen carefully, I will only say this question once. If you missed it, I will not say it a second time." Wang Er shook his head, thought about the entire content of the question, and said with a smile, "This question

It's like this. One day, a diner A came to the inn and ordered a table of wine and food. The cost of the table of wine and food was one hundred cents, but the selling price was three hundred cents. After diner A finished his meal

After that, he paid the shopkeeper one tael of silver and asked the shopkeeper to give him the change. The shopkeeper rummaged through his money bag and found that he couldn't get enough change, so he had to take the one tael of silver from diner A and exchange it from diner B.

A whole thousand penny in change. The shopkeeper allocated 700 penny from the one thousand penny change and gave it to diner A. After diner A got the money, he left."

"Not long after Diner A left, Diner B, who had changed the change for the shopkeeper, yelled that something was wrong. He took the one tael of silver and went to the shopkeeper and said it was fake. The shopkeeper checked and found that the money was indeed fake.

The shopkeeper has a close relationship with diner B and knows that diner B will not lie to him. This tael of silver is 100% from diner A. The shopkeeper took the fake silver and went out to chase diner A, but diner A had already disappeared.

The trace was hard to find. After the shopkeeper returned to the inn, he had no choice but to dig out his own pocket and find a real one tael of silver, and gave it to diner B who gave him change."

"After that, the shopkeeper took out his abacus and calculated the loss of this meal. The question of this question is here. Do you think you can calculate how much money the shopkeeper lost in total?" Wang Er glanced with a smile.

Eight teenagers, their eyes fluttering back and forth under their eyelids.

As soon as this question came out, the expressions of two teenagers changed dramatically. Not to mention calculating the answer, they could not even remember the specific content of the entire question, let alone understand it. Except for them,

The other more alert candidates began to frown and think deeply.

Although Zhao Zheng already knew the answer, he was afraid that today's question would be different from the question in the game, so he did not answer hastily. Instead, he verified it carefully in his mind and made a new calculation.

This question may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is just a primary school-level math question. The answer can be obtained by using addition and subtraction.

In this question, according to the order of entry and exit, the order is:

The cost of a meal of food and wine is 100 cents, minus 100.

After diner A finishes his meal, he pays the bill with one tael of silver, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan, plus 1,000.

Because I didn't have any change, I exchanged the one tael of silver with diner B for change. The one tael of silver was exchanged for 1,000 Wen, no increase or decrease.

Diner A took the 700 coins he had found and left, which was a reduction of 700.

Diner B discovered that the one tael of silver was fake and came to the door later, so he had to give him another real one tael of silver, minus 1,000.

Calculating the addition, subtraction and subtraction of these amounts of money, the answer is that we lost a full 800 Wen.

As for the joint of changing change, it is actually just a cover-up and has no substantive significance. If you struggle with it, you will fall into the trap of this question.

"A total of 800 Wen was lost." Zhao Zheng raised his head and was the first to answer with confidence.

Wang Eryi glanced at Zhao Zheng with a smile, without comment.

The other children also gave their answers one after another. The two children who didn't even remember the questions also fished in troubled waters with red faces and repeated other people's answers.

"A total of 1,800 yuan was lost!"

"That's right, it's eighteen hundred cents!"

"No, I should have lost 800 cash!"

"No, no, it's all wrong. There is no need to compensate that diner Yi a tael of silver. Just don't admit the debt. In that case, you don't have to lose money, but you can still make money."

Hearing this smart answer, Wang Er laughed even harder. The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, making him look horrifying. He flicked his sleeves and said, "The correct answer is eight hundred coins. The person who answered incorrectly

Leave voluntarily. You have nothing to do here."

After the correct answer was announced, several children who answered incorrectly let out depressed sighs and left sadly to find other jobs. The smart boy was unconvinced at first and refused to leave. Wang Eryi glared and scolded

After saying this to him, he suppressed his blush and left.

After the elimination of the second test, the number of applicants was reduced again, and now only three people, including Zhao Zheng, were left.

"Very good, very good. You three can pass the first two tests, which proves to be quite good. But it's a pity that our Hongchen Inn does not need so many waiters. Otherwise, I will keep all three of you." Wang

Er stroked his goatee and continued, "Now there is only one last test left. This time it tests your ability to adapt quickly. Just like last time, I will set the questions and you will answer them. But this time

The question is a rush question, whoever can answer the answer first will win."

It was the turn of the last test, and among the remaining three people, except Zhao Zheng, who was confident, all the other two showed eagerness.

Wang Er glanced at the faces of the three people with satisfaction, paused, and suddenly asked: "If a customer caught a fly in the meal, what would you, the waiters, do?"

Zhao Zheng raised the corner of his mouth, and before the other two people could react, he answered first: "Tell the guest that the fly is chopped green onion, and then eat it in one bite!"

The Laughing Ghost King Er was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect someone to be able to answer it so quickly, and the answer was exactly what he wanted. You know, this question was designed by him after thinking hard for a long time, although it was not

It was a complicated question, but if you wanted to answer it, you had to think about it for a while, but the disheveled street kid in front of you actually answered it out of the blue without even thinking about it.

"Does it mean that he knew the answer to this question in advance? No, I came up with this question myself and never mentioned it to anyone else. How could he know it?" Wang Erbai was puzzled and laughed strangely.

, took a deep look at Zhao Zheng, making Zhao Zheng feel uncomfortable all over.

The other two applicants felt a little sick when they heard that Zhao Zheng was even willing to eat flies. However, this answer was indeed powerful. Only by doing this could such trouble be solved. Both of them gave up, thinking that they were not as quick-thinking as Zhao Zheng.

Wang Er waved his hand and sent away the last two losers, leaving only Zhao Zheng alone.

"Thank you sir for your support." Zhao Zheng said gratefully, cupping his fists.

"You earned this job yourself, so you don't need to thank me. From now on, you will be the waiter of Hongchen Inn. My name is Wang Er, and I am nicknamed the Smiling Ghost. I am the accountant in the inn. In addition to managing the accounts,

In addition, he is also responsible for taking care of various chores in the inn. What is your little baby's name? Who is there in the family?" Wang Er asked with a smile.

Zhao Zheng reported his name as he was told. Since this body was that of a wandering child, he had no family or relatives, and his background was simply a blank sheet of paper, without any burden.

Wang Er was deeply satisfied with Zhao Zheng's life experience. Such a carefree young man was just suitable to be a waiter in the Hongchen Inn.

"Let me ask you another question and see how you answer it. What would you do if the guest found not a fly but a piece of finger in the meal?" Wang Er leaned forward slightly and put his face next to her.

He looked at Zhao Zheng, and the smile on his face suddenly turned sinister.

This fourth question has not been written on the forum. After all, this is a real world. Although major events overlap with those in the game, there are still many unknown variables.

Zhao Zheng's expression changed slightly, and fingers were found in the dishes, which meant that the inn's kitchen used dead people as ingredients to make a dish and serve it to the guests! An inn that does this is the legendary black shop!

The Hongchen Inn is an out-and-out black shop, so Wang Er, the accountant, unexpectedly asked Zhao Zheng such a strange question.

"If a customer finds a piece of finger in the food and wine, then I will pick up the plate of food, slap it on the customer's face, and then yell, 'Brothers in the store, do it.'" Zhao Zheng was calm.

He replied: Now that the matter of opening a black shop has been exposed, we can no longer find excuses to cover it up, we can only fight hard.

"Hahaha..." Wang Er laughed loudly after hearing this, causing passers-by who didn't know the truth to look sideways. He laughed for a while before stopping, wiping the tears of laughter that overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and patted Zhao Zheng's messy head twice.

He smiled and said, "Good answer, good answer. If this happens in the future, you will do as you said today!"

"Yes." Zhao Zheng apologized and smiled twice. He was calm on the surface, but he was still very nervous in his heart. You must know that he was about to enter a black shop now. Although the people in the shop were not evil demons, but a

Both of them are murderous masters! If he does something wrong in the store, his life may be at stake.

If it weren't for the mental method of "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing", he would not be willing to take such a big risk and join a black shop as a waiter. Although the martial arts of those small sects are mediocre, they are better than safety. After joining, he will not

There will be danger for life.

This is really in line with the saying that wealth comes with risks. If you want to get great benefits, you have to take great risks.

"The Hongchen Inn is halfway along Zhongguan Road, quite far from Qibao County, and it takes half a day's ride on horseback. If you don't have anything to bring, then we have to set off now and try to get back before dark." Wang

Er smiled.

"I am a lonely person. All I have is this rag. I can follow you now." Zhao Zhengdao.

The Laughing Ghost King Er nodded, turned around and took off a rein tied to the notice board. The bay-red horse that had been tied to the rope for a long time raised its neck and neighed, snorting twice. Since it was summer, the weather was hot, even this time

There were beads of sweat all over the horse.

Wang Erfei got on the horse with swift and agile movements, then stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Zheng onto the horse and let him sit behind.

"My clothes are dirty. If I stick to you like this, I'm afraid I will get your clothes dirty too." Zhao Zheng said with a bitter smile. He had been living on the streets for many days, sleeping in the open air, with no place to bathe, and no clothes to change.

The stench on his body can make even flies confused.

"I'm a grown man, so it doesn't matter. The key is that our shopkeeper loves cleanliness and always likes cleanliness. After you get to the inn, don't go see the shopkeeper first. Go take a shower and change into clean clothes. With your current situation,

You must not go to see the innkeeper like this, otherwise you will be kicked out of the inn." Wang Er pulled the reins, clamped his legs slightly, and the maroon horse was ordered to run out, running faster and faster, in the county town

Speeding past on the stone road.

"Okay, I will definitely wash myself off when I get to the inn." Zhao Zheng felt much relieved at the thought of finally being able to take a shower.

As the horses advance, the things in front become blurred, and the sound of horse hooves mixes with the cries of vendors and footmen to form a unique ancient sound. Listening to this sound, it is as if you can hear the heartfelt voices of Jianghu.

Zhao Zheng closed his eyes and said secretly in his heart, "Jianghu, I'm here!";
