Chapter 13
When I looked at these steamers, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd.
"This year's 'Scale-Looking' test was different."
"Isn't that true?"
"But I heard that the ancestors of the Zhu family were in the pasta business at the beginning."
...
After the people put the steamer in, put a large iron basin on the table, and prepared a large scale, weight and other items. Zhu Huazhang smiled and said, "The first question in this competition is also a question that has been preserved for many years. This year, this question is to see if everyone has forgotten their roots."
Although I understand it, I don’t understand it very much.
After studying at Zhujiajia, you may learn stories about how the ancestors of the Zhu family made their first pot of gold on the first day.
But Zhu Youning never went to school.
Zhu Huazhang deliberately did not speak out, just to see the jokes between Zhu Youning and Zhu Huating.
Zhu Youning didn't need Zhu Huazhang to explain in detail, so he knew that the first question should be to ask them to estimate the weight of the things in the steamer.
Sure enough, with Zhu Huazhang waved his hand, a young man climbed onto the table and lifted the top cover curtain. For a moment, white fog rose, and the fragrance of his face was scented. There were ten big snow-white steamed buns in the fog.
The guy lifted the cage slightly, showed it around, covered it, and jumped off the table.
"The new big white steamed buns were made according to the rules passed down from ancestors, and there were ten in each trough. What I asked was how heavy these steamed buns were."
As soon as the words were finished, some people in the crowd started to whisper.
"This year's question is too simple. As long as you calculate it well, don't you know the number?"
"It's not entirely true. This guy just now didn't say how much steamed buns weigh."
"Didn't it meant to do it according to the rules of the ancestors? The Zhu family should know it."
"That may not be true. There are still people who haven't attended homeschool."
...
As soon as he finished speaking, many people looked at Zhu Youning.
Zhu Youning blinked her big eyes and was observing the tall ten-layer steamer and the guys she was about to use when she was about to weigh, looking curious and ignorant of the world.
Zhu Yanping beside him snorted coldly, "Do you know how heavy the Zhu family steamed buns are? Tell me, don't expect me to tell you! I don't know what to lift."
After saying that, Zhu Yanping walked forward first.
The table had already prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Zhu Yanping sat down casually and was about to pick up the pen, but the prefect Lu said, "This question should be written orally."
Zhu Yanping was stunned and then said dissatisfiedly: "Master, it would be unfair if it was oral. What if someone learned it from others!"
The prefect of Lu smiled but said nothing.
Mr. Zhu and the other three old men looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
Mr. Zhu said, "The magistrate is really wise. OK, this question will be directly dictated. If anyone knows it, please answer it quickly."
Zhu Youning sighed in his heart: As a result, those who have achieved a certain degree of officialdom are all human beings. If this question is answered by a pen, it is purely for the purpose of testing knowledge. If it is written, there will always be a sequence of answers, and then it will test the hearts of the people.
The old man said, how could Zhu Yanping not obey?
He stood back to his original place in disappointment and said reluctantly: "Total eighteen kilograms."
Zhu Yanqiu pondered a little, exchanged a look with his cousin Zhu Yanfeng, and then said loudly, "Eighteen Jin."
After hearing Zhu Yanqiu's words, Zhu Yanping's confidence increased.
Zhu Yanpeng also said: "Eighteen pounds."
The fifth cousin Zhu Yanlan smiled and said, "The Zhu family's steamed buns are one tael or eight cents a day. This is the old rule. Everyone knows that ten drawers are 100, which is naturally 18 kilograms. The question is too kind, and it is a cheaper one. Some people who can't do anything. Sister Ninth, if you say the same thing as us, then you are copying us."
Zhu Youning smiled at his fifth cousin and said in a tender voice: "A total of 18 pounds, 100,000 taels and 60 cents!"
Zhu Yanqiu and Zhu Yanfeng looked at Zhu Youning in surprise at the same time.
The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter.
In order to be different from others, the little girl deliberately said such a number and raised her chin with a confident look. It's so funny!
Zhu Yanping patted his thighs and laughed, and pushed Zhu Youning's head with his index finger and scolded: "Are you stupid? You told you that you had 18 pounds and 18 pounds, but you even said one ounce and six ounces. Where did that 1 ounce and six ounces come from? You are so stupid! You are so embarrassed to fight for industry and go home to eat milk!"
Zhu Youning was pushed back two steps, rubbing her forehead and holding her mouth aggrievedly.
Zhu Yanfeng pulled Zhu Yanping away and scolded: "Cousin Ping, you shouldn't have done this."
Zhu Yanfeng is the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the house. He has outstanding talent and noble character. He also follows his biological mother Wen. He is better than Pan An and is a leader in homeschooling. There have been long-term news that Zhu Yanfeng may be the next patriarch whom Mr. Zhu likes.
His words are quite important among his peers.
Zhu Yanping shut up embarrassedly.
Zhu Yanfeng smiled at Zhu Youning and turned to say, "Eighteen pounds and two ounces."
What?
Everyone who was laughing constantly fell silent after hearing Zhu Yanfeng's words.
Zhu Yanpeng, Zhu Yanlan and Zhu Yanping all looked thoughtful.
Zhu Youning carefully observed several cousins and found that his fifth cousin Zhu Yanlan stomped his feet in annoyance and glared at Zhu Yanqiu fiercely.
Zhu Youning looked at Zhu Yanqiu again, but saw Zhu Yanqiu exchanging eyes with his cousin Zhu Yanfeng.
Zhu Youning understood a little.
Zhu Yanqiu just now, 80% of the time, he wanted to turn everyone into the ditch so as to pave the way for Zhu Yanfeng.
One of these two people is the first in family education and the other is the second in family education. At a young age, they learned to unite with each other, and the descendants of the Zhu family are also really powerful.
At this time, the guys had already started the process of giving steamed buns.
As soon as the steamer was lifted, the fog rose again. Two craftsmen quickly poured all the ten trays of steamed buns into the large iron basin, and then they made a fuss under the supervision of the manager.
After saying this, the manager whispered: "Go back to the old man, a total of 18 pounds, one liang and seven qian are slightly higher."
It really took one or seven cents more?
The onlookers were immediately in an uproar:
"It turned out to be the closest answer to that little girl?"
"She's talking nonsense, right?"
"Where did the extra come from?"
...
The second master Zhu Huazhang walked to the legitimate son and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Brother Feng, come and explain it to everyone."
As soon as Zhu Huazhang finished speaking, Mr. Li's familiar duck voice came from the crowd:
"I said Mr. Zhu Er, you are too biased to give your son a chance to show off like this, right? The one with the closest answer is obviously the female lady in the house. You should ask her why she answered like this." He turned around and asked the onlookers: "Everyone said, is that right?"
"Yes, let me hear how Miss Jiu explained."
I am not afraid of high school when watching the fun. Everyone wants to hear what the little girl said.
