"Ten...ten portions of stinky tofu?"

The scholar was stunned. He squatted in front of Li Yi's shop for a while, but he knew what stinky tofu was, but... the thing smelled... unpolite.

Seeing that the scholar's face was resistant, Li Yi said politely: "Oh, come and try it. If it is not delicious, I won't charge you!"

Li Yi's eyes signaled to Guan Chang beside him, and Guan Chang quickly wrapped the stinky tofu and handed it on.

Everyone was sent to the face. The scholar was so embarrassed to push it back, so he tasted a piece with a bitter face...

"Hmm?" Before he swallowed it, the scholar was a little surprised, "This taste...is very special."

It smells fragrant, spicy, salty and sweet, and is a taste I never tasted before!

The various levels of stinky tofu instantly broke the scholar's prejudice against it, and soon swallowed a whole portion of stinky tofu.

"One more!" After licking his lips, the scholar said to Guan Chang again.

"Okay!"

"Cough cough! Cough cough!" At this moment, the group of people who were sneaking outside the store kept coughing and kept winking at the scholar.

The scholar was shocked, and then he remembered that he was here to challenge Li Yi, and he couldn't forget the serious business because of his mere desire!

"Li Yi, accept my challenge!" The scholar said with his head held high and his chest full of fighting spirit.

Li Yi scratched his ears, and he didn't care about this challenge. But if he defeated this person, perhaps someone else would challenge him. Wouldn't the sales of stinky tofu be increased?

Thinking of this, Li Yi reluctantly raised some interest: "What are you going to challenge? We can say that I am not as good as poetry, songs, etc."

I don't want to copy poems...

The scholar was excited: "I came to win the title of your smartest person. What is it about comparing poetry and songs? If you want to compare, you should compare cleverness and wisdom!"

After saying that, the scholar took out five bamboo strips and ten silver needles from the cloth bag he carried.

Seeing Li Yi’s face with doubt, the scholar explained: “Here are five-section hard bamboo strips and ten silver needles. I want you to nail these ten silver needles to these five-section bamboo strips and ensure that there are only four silver needles on each bamboo strip.

If you can do it, you will win!”

"Hmm?" Li Yi took the bamboo strips and silver needles, rubbed his chin and thought.

Guan Chang only thought for a moment and said angrily: "Hey! Are you looking for trouble? Five-section bamboo strips, each section must be nailed with four silver needles. You must at least one, two, three... so many silver needles are there!"

The scholar said proudly: "So, only smart people can solve this problem!"

A big bearded man outside the store was stunned when he heard the puzzle: "If each bamboo strip needs four silver needles to be nailed, wouldn't it take twenty silver needles? That stupid guy is right."

Everyone looked at him with contempt. One of the people with a high nose sneered, "Where did this person come from? Just this mindset is to challenge the smartest man?"

The bearded man dissatisfied and said, "Is it a swearing? Is it a swearing? Are you smart, but what did I say wrong?"

The high nose bridge continued to sneer: "The scholar only said that each bamboo strip should be nailed with four silver needles, but he did not say that one silver needle could only nail one bamboo strip."

The bearded man was stunned, as if...it was indeed...

The high nose bridge said to the others: "This question sounds very simple. Four silver needles can nail five-section bamboo strips. But if that's the case, how can you use up the remaining six silver needles?"

"It seems that a clever method is needed to use up the silver needle just right."

Everyone tried their best to think about it, but they couldn't guess the answer. They all scratched their hearts and felt it was too difficult.

The scholar admired their confused expressions with satisfaction and laughed: "This question is, but no one can guess this problem that I have designed for three years!"

He looked at Li Yi with his eyes dull and his eyes were dull: "If you can't figure it out, don't waste your time and give in to the plaque of this smartest man!"

Guan Chang didn't know if Li Yi could solve the puzzle, but he couldn't watch others smash the signboard in the store, and he shouted:

"What nonsense! Just by solving the problem of a sour scholar, you are just playing with a rough person like me. What kind of person is my boss? He will definitely be able to solve it!"

The reason why Guan Chang called Li Yi "Boss" was because Li Yi couldn't stand the guy's call "benefather, benefather" in his ears. It sounded very awkward, so he asked Guan Chang to call him "Boss".

"Then he will untie it. If he can't untie it, don't talk big, and you won't be afraid of losing your teeth when you say it!"

Seeing that Li Yi was not moving for a long time, the scholar felt even more confident: "Li Yi, just admit defeat openly. After all, it was a difficult problem that I had been thinking about for three years, and it would be embarrassing to think of it."

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, scratched his ears, and then blew his fingers: "Oh, I have figured it out long ago when you talk about this question. The reason I was just dazed is to think about the most profound philosophical problem in the world."

After saying that, he pinched the bamboo strips and arranged them.

The scholar was extremely annoyed when he heard his bragging: "What are you talking about? I have thought of the problem after three years. How could you figure it out in such a short time..."

Before the word "white" was said, Li Yi had already arranged the five-section bamboo strips into five-pointed stars, and then nailed them at the intersection of the bamboo strips with ten silver needles.

"Is it over?" Li Yi yawned.

"It's over..." The scholar swallowed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Li Yi waved to Guan Chang and said, "Come on, wrap nine portions of stinky tofu for the scholar, plus the previous portion, a total of 100 texts. The young master walked slowly and welcomed him next time."

When everyone outside the store saw the scholar's expression, they looked forward in surprise. When they saw the five-pointed stars nailed on the table, they suddenly realized: "So that's it! So that's it! It's so simple!"

"I am worthy of being the smartest person. I actually figured out such a difficult question so quickly!" The bearded man was amazed.

Although the rest of the people felt that they could figure it out if they gave them some time, they had to admit that Li Yi, the first to figure out this problem, was indeed far beyond ordinary people.

The scholar paid the money in a daze, but did not take the stinky tofu, and left like a walking corpse.

When he walked to the door, he felt unwilling and asked, "You said you had figured it out long ago. The reason why I was dazed is to think about the most profound philosophical issues in the world.

Can I ask what the question you are thinking about?”

Li Yi sighed and said bitterly: "Of course...what to eat at night, what to eat tomorrow morning, what to eat tomorrow night.
