This trick is so wonderful that my dog can fight with the boy for several rounds. No matter whether he succeeds or fails, he can avenge his past humiliation. So, Fan Huanzhi said falsely: "How can a dog compete with people and count? It's easy for people to gossip.
"
"It's just for everyone to have fun, so why not?"
"Don't talk about the competition. During the period, I randomly pick up a few children to compete with it. It doesn't hurt."
"It can be placed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when the lanterns are held, as a folk entertainment for lighting up lantern riddles, and having fun with the people."
As soon as this proposal came out, everyone praised it. Isn't it a piece of cake to win over Qi Meng's schoolboys in calculations? He did this for a living when he was a hawker. As he strengthened his training, Gou Yuecai was secretly proud. However,
, we can’t let them see that only by narrowly winning, will they become more powerful.
When competing with the servants in the mansion, Gou YueCai lost and won, which whetted the appetite of the diners. The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year was over, followed by the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A man appeared on the streets of Qiantang
On the stage, there is a vernacular poem written on the stage: The spirit dog divine arithmetic, looking for an opponent in the world, the winner will be rewarded with silver, and the loser will be given lottery. Anyone under ten years old can go on the stage to compete with the spirit dog. On the side, two servants are knocking
Play the gong and explain the rules.
This was an interesting thing. When people watching the lanterns heard about it, they swarmed there and surrounded the arena tightly. On the first day, six or seven schoolchildren came on stage, but they all lost to this dog. Now all the people in Qiantang
They were all stirred up, and the official school also recommended three students who were good at arithmetic to compete with it. Although this was done secretly and privately, it was harder to get the students to shut up than to get the ducks to shut up. There were only two of them.
The news spread all over Lin'an City. Some nefarious people even opened an underground gambling market for prodigies and spirit dogs, and wrote songs and propaganda to spread the word.
"Prodigy War Dog"
Strange things happen every year,
Dog arithmetic, not often.
Yuanxiao prodigy fighting spirit dog,
Invite you to bet on a few hands.
Win or lose, look up to the sky and laugh,
Playing in the wind and clouds a few times.
Fifteen nights of small gambling and pleasure,
The jade leakage in Qiantang City does not stop.
During the Lantern Festival, there were three days in Qiantang Mansion where King Wu couldn’t help it. On the 16th night of the first lunar month, six or seven boys came on stage, but they were all defeated by Gou Yuecai. For a while, the audience went crazy throwing colorful objects, and the poor threw
Copper coins, the rich throw away silver.
"I'm here to win your prize." A voice sounded from the corner, and one of the three schoolchildren came on the stage. There was a good show, and there were cheers from the crowd. One person and one dog fought back and forth for many rounds, and there was no winner.
Negative. This is, one of the judges said: "Let's let the spectators in the audience come up with the questions." He pointed with his hand.
The person on stage was a hawker. After thinking for a while, he came up with the question: "Cut a piece of tofu three times, how many pieces can you cut at most?"
Childhood thought for a while and said: "Cut it into seven pieces."
When Dog Yuecai heard this, he was overjoyed. This was his specialty, and he barked eight times.
"This dog has won." The hawker gestured with his knife and jumped off the stage, leaving the boy in a mess on the stage. He only thought of cutting it on a flat surface, but did not expect the hawker to cut it into four pieces and then cut it in the middle.
Fan Huanzhi smiled proudly and announced that the riddle shooting was over for today.
"Spiritual dog, spiritual dog." The audience shouted, and when Fan Zhizhi led the dog through the crowd, the dog Yuecai had the illusion that he had won the first prize in the exam and was parading on a horse.
Jin Huabin's B&B was open for business. When he told this story to the guests, the guests laughed and said, "I will stay at your place next time and I will be a repeat customer."
"Eat chicken, eat chicken, and try our special dish, free-range chicken pot." Jin Huabin brought a large pot of chicken soup, which was yellow and completely different from the white soup cooked by chickens on the market.
I wrote a note and wrote a poem.
"Partridge Sky, Stewed Free Range Chicken"
Chickens are flying beside Xiaye Village,
Ecologically raised meat is not fat.
Two hundred and thirty WeChat payment,
Three catties and six taels are weighed here.
Cordyceps flowers, small mushrooms.
Codonopsis, ginger and angelica.
Martial fire boils away the blood foam,
Simmer for another two hours.
This is a unique trick for naming farm dishes suggested by Shanghai guests, adding the name of the dish to the word plate. Jin Huabin used it for the first time to see how the guests reacted.
"I'll change my itinerary and stay at your place today just for the name of the dish." The guest was very happy when he saw such a creative dish name.
After Jin Huabin thanked him, he continued his story: "The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is the last day of the Lantern Festival. Everyone's expectations are high. It's not dark yet. Ordinary schoolchildren don't dare to go on stage to show their shame anymore. They wait for the other two schoolchildren.
Racing with spirit dogs.
"Borrowed it, borrowed it." With the sound of gongs and drums, the dog Yuecai appeared on the stage. Today, the owner specially made a scholar's shirt for it. It looked energetic and funny, and the special effects were full. After the opening remarks, a boy walked around the little boy.
Fang Bu came on stage, and the two sides officially started the competition. Ten questions were asked to determine the winner. Multi-digit addition and subtraction, mixed with a few questions of multiplication and division. Here, barking barked the answer, and there wrote numbers on the board. After half a
After hours of competition, it was a draw.
Only the last Tong Meng was left. Fan Zhizhi came on stage and said to the audience in a whimsical way: "Now, I will ask the ten spectators in the audience to each pose a question and let them compete. How do you like it?"
The spectators did not mind that there was too much to do, and cheers rang out loudly. After nine questions, it was still a draw. At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the street, and the commander of the capital came, followed by a row of soldiers. He stopped his horse and said
: "It's great to have fun with the people. How about I give them the last question?"
It was obvious that he was provoking trouble, but he was his immediate superior and could not stop it. Fan Zhizhi bowed and said, "Your Excellency, you must be very original when setting the topic. Please."
He jumped onto the stage and said: "I am a martial artist, so I won't have any problems. Just come up with a trick to divide four by fifteen."
If the answer is not an integer, how can the dog respond with a barking sound?
"Making Difficulties"
In the ring, human-dog competition,
Commander, come up with a trick.
Carrying Mount Tai and crossing the North Sea,
The power of the overlord cannot be done.
The barking of a dog indicates the last digit,
How can a spiritual dog be more intelligent?
Afraid of power and silent in the audience,
There is an undercurrent of public opinion.
While everyone was waiting for the results, a wealthy middle-aged man walked up to the stage, picked up the little boy who was competing and said: "Son, come home with me. Humans are the spirit of all things. Racing with dogs is nothing. Let's admit defeat in this round."
Yes, this is the lucky draw." After saying that, he placed a two hundred tael banknote on the stage with a snap. This wealthy businessman had a well-established background in Qiantang and had a strong backing. Even the commanders could not afford to offend him, so they could only freeze.
He gave way with a smile, and the audience burst into cheers!
The contestants all gave up and gave up the competition, and were given bonuses. What could the judges do? Although they were afraid of power, they could only stand up and announce that the competition ended with Gou Yue Cai winning.
The odds reached 1 to 9, and the boss of the underground gambling house was so profitable that he ordered the painter to draw a portrait of the dog and paste it on the wall of the gambling house. The dog became the God of Wealth during the Spring Festival. Promote the ways of dogs
The love dog and the prodigy suddenly became a popular hit in all the major romantic places in Qiantang.
