Chapter 69: I'm afraid of hurting my teacher's face
The future teacher wanted to test him, but Liu Shui had no other choice but to agree.
However, in order to prevent the future teacher from giving too difficult questions, Liu Shui also reminded him in advance:
"So that the elders will know that the kid came into contact with arithmetic late. He only came into contact with arithmetic after the opening of Taobao Restaurant, which was only ten days ago.
I'm afraid it's not enough and it will make the elders laugh."
Cai Yong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of proportion."
The more he spoke so calmly, the more nervous Liu Shui became.
After all, he already knew from the servants who called him back and from Lu Yang's mouth that the man with the bulbous nose in front of him was a famous scholar with extremely high knowledge.
I have only been learning arithmetic from my brother for ten days. Even if the other party randomly asks a question, it would probably be extremely difficult for me.
While Liu Shui was waiting extremely nervously, Cai Yong said: "A dish of braised pork is fifty-three yuan, and a dish of boiled mutton is sixty-five yuan. How much do you need to pay in total for these two dishes?"
Hearing such a question, Liu Shui couldn't help but be stunned. Is it so simple?
It seems that this famous teacher knew that his basic skills were not good, so he specially asked such a simple question.
"You need to pay a total of one hundred and eighteen dollars."
Liu Shui didn't think any more and just answered directly.
When Liu Shui reported the results, Cai Yong, who was sitting there, was surprised for a moment.
Because the two numbers he just mentioned were just what he said casually. As for the result of adding the two numbers, he himself also needs to perform calculations to know.
The young man in front of me, who had only learned arithmetic for ten days, was able to produce results as fast as him!
Cai Yong, who didn't seem to care much just now, suddenly sat up straight and his attitude became more upright.
"Three hundred and eighty-six dollars, plus two hundred and thirty-three dollars, how much is it?"
Cai Yong asked.
Liu Shui's mind was running at high speed. He had been doing arithmetic problems these days, forgetting sleep and food, and he was very proficient in these.
After hearing the question asked by Cai Yong, the vertical form of addition suddenly appeared in my mind, and I added the two numbers.
After a while, the result was obtained: "The total is six hundred and nineteen yuan."
After Liu Shui answered, he looked at Cai Yong, waiting for Cai Yong's answer.
It turned out that this famous teacher actually sat there without moving, without any intention of speaking.
When Liu Shui saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. Could it be that he had made a miscalculation just now?
Immediately, I quickly and carefully calculated it in my mind. It was indeed six hundred and nineteen yuan. Is that correct?
But why didn’t the gentleman in front of me speak?
Would this be the reaction?
Of course Cai Yong didn't say anything, because until now, he has not calculated the result of the math problem he casually asked.
At this moment, he really had no other choice but to remain silent and pretend to be serious in order to maintain his dignity as a teacher.
In fact, Cai Yong's arithmetic skills are still very good. According to his true ability, it is not possible that he has not calculated it at this time.
It’s really Liu Shui who calculated too quickly!
Cai Yong originally thought that this time, if he increased the sum of the two numbers, the calculation speed of the kid in front of him would slow down.
After all, he has only been learning arithmetic for a short time. He may be proficient in adding small numbers in a restaurant every day, but he is not so fast in adding large numbers.
Who would have thought that the results would come out so quickly?!
Being aroused by Liu Shui's completely unexpected move, his heart suddenly became chaotic.
Originally, he was about to calculate the result, but now that his mind was unstable, everything went into chaos.
After pretending to be calm for a while, I finally calculated the result in my mind. The result was the same as what Liu Shui said.
This hit Cai Yong hard.
Originally, he wanted to continue the test on Liu Shui, but now that something like this happened, it was obvious that the test could not be carried out.
While Liu Shui was waiting with anxiety, Cai Yong, who looked calm on the outside but was panicking inside, finally nodded slowly.
This made Liu Shui breathe a sigh of relief, and then waited for Cai Yong's new round of teaching examinations.
Then Cai Yong, who only listened, said: "Very good, you have learned very well, beyond my expectations. Today's teaching test ends here."
When Liu Shui heard what Cai Yong said, he immediately looked confused.
Is this the end?
Isn't this just the beginning?
Why did it end?
Did I just tell the old man that I had only been studying for ten days, so the old man didn’t want to make it too difficult for me, so he just gave it a little test and then ended it?
Are you afraid that you will be embarrassed if you take too many test questions and you can’t answer the questions correctly?
When he thought of this, Liu Shui's heart suddenly became enlightened.
It must be like this!
At that moment, Liu Shui said: "Sir, this is not the only thing this disciple has learned in these ten days. Sir, you can continue to ask questions. You don't have to worry about the disciple not being able to answer the questions and hurting face..."
Hearing Liu Shui's words, Cai Yong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, feeling extremely confused inside.
Am I worried that if you can't answer it, it will hurt your face?
I'm worried that if you continue to take the exam, you'll answer too quickly and hurt your teacher's face!
However, for the sake of his dignity as a teacher, Cai Yong couldn't tell the truth. Looking at Liu Shui's sincere and expectant eyes, he couldn't say no to him.
Fortunately, at this time, Liu Cheng came over with the maid carrying the last few dishes, and then rescued Cai Yong from this silent embarrassment...
