Jiang Wei glanced at him and said calmly: "Just simplify it."

After that, she took up a pen and simplified both sides of the equation on the rice paper.

From complex to simple, Jiang did not simplify until the end. Even shopkeeper Zhou next to him could see the answer at a glance.

"The unknown number equals twenty-three, and the number of chickens is twenty-three!"

The others were still counting on their fingers, but shopkeeper Zhou had already taken out the abacus hanging on his waist, flicked it a few times, and said: "After calculating this, the number of rabbits should be twelve!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

It seems that people in this era are not very good at addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of more than ten.

Also, in ancient times, arithmetic was not tested in the imperial examinations. Apart from being able to read some of the Four Books and Five Classics, these scholars were not as good as Shopkeeper Zhou in arithmetic.

Jiang Yu asked someone to remove the oilcloth covering the cage, revealing the chickens and rabbits inside. Everyone gathered around to count them. The number of chickens and rabbits was indeed twenty-three and twelve!

The way everyone looked at Jiang Wei changed instantly.

"This little lady really guessed it right, that's amazing!"

"What do you mean by guessing it correctly? It was obviously someone else who figured it out!" someone immediately corrected him.

"This is the first time I have seen this method used to solve the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. This is simply unprecedented!"

……

Jiang Wei returned the paper and pen to Shopkeeper Zhou, then looked at Jiang Yu and said slowly: "Master Jiang, you also know how to solve the problem. Is it time to keep your promise?"

"That's right! That's right!" Jiang Yu was busy snatching the piece of rice paper from Shopkeeper Zhou and preparing to look at the problem-solving ideas again. Jiang Wei suddenly spoke, waved his hand and said, "The rabbits and chickens in this cage are It’s all yours, even the cage will be given to you!”

This young master is quite studious.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held back her laughter, and then glanced at the scholars who had just spoken so brazenly.

Not only did those few people lose face in front of the young master of the Jiang family, but they were also compared to each other by a country woman, and their expressions were very ugly.

Jiang Yu didn't even look at the group of people, and said to Jiang Wei very enthusiastically: "May I ask where the young lady lives? I will send the chickens and rabbits in this cage directly to your home."

After all, there are thirty-five chickens and rabbits, and no one can take them away.

"No need." Jiang Wei shook his head and refused, "I'll leave this chicken and rabbit cage with Shopkeeper Zhou temporarily. After I finish selling the ice cream, I can find an ox cart to take it back."

"Ice cream?" Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "So you are the one who made ice cream and ice cream!"

As soon as these words came out, people around him exclaimed.

"What! She's the one who makes ice cream and ice cream!?"

"When you said that, I remembered, weren't these the mother and daughter who were selling ice cream at the intersection of Nanjie Street two days ago!"

"Oh my god, I never expected that such delicious ice cream and ice cream would be made by this little lady!"

……

Seeing the surprised look on his young master's face, shopkeeper Zhou twitched his lips and said, "You just arrived in Yong'an County yesterday. I was just about to tell you when Mrs. Jiang came to deliver the goods this morning..." But she didn't. Thinking that this young master was so preoccupied with the problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage that he couldn't even listen to other words.

Jiang Yu stuffed the rice paper back into shopkeeper Zhou's hand, took two steps forward, and said seriously: "Ms. Jiang, let me introduce you again. I am the youngest son of the owner of Fu'an Trading Company, and this Yuelai Building is owned by me, Fu'an Trading Company." one of the industries.”

Fu'an Trading Company?

Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

She remembered that it was mentioned in the original book that Fu'an Trading Company was a large trading company all over the country. It had its own businesses in the capital and other rich places in the south of the Yangtze River. As the owner of Fu'an Trading Company, the Jiang family had a huge family business and had huge wealth. !
  In the original book, there is indeed this young master named Jiang.

But he is a cannon fodder who appears rarely.

The Jiang family has a fortune accumulated over several generations, which has attracted the covetousness of some noble families in the capital. In the original book, the youngest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu, is good at doing business. He was admitted to the top of the imperial examination at a young age. He is powerful and powerful. With financial resources, he has become a thorn in the side of the nobles in the capital.

When he was in his twenties, he was framed and imprisoned. He died tragically in prison, and the Jiang family's property was also destroyed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao unconsciously raised her head and looked at the young master of the Jiang family in front of her again. She was only seventeen years old, with a young face with a temperament between youth and maturity. However, It was only a few short years before his tragic death...

She sighed softly.

This sigh was very light and shallow, but Jiang Yu noticed: "Little girl, you are so young, why do you look so old-fashioned?"

Listening to the other party's teasing, Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "Master Jiang is so amazing. Although the mother who solved this problem is very powerful, the person who came up with this question is also very powerful!"

Her voice was soft and waxy, with the unique childishness and innocence of a child.

These words made Jiang Yu feel embarrassed.

Although he was clever, especially on this math problem, he had been trying to figure it out for three months but still couldn't figure out the answer. When he arrived in Yong'an Town yesterday, he simply put the problem on the street and let everyone solve it. Maybe You can meet one or two strange people.

Unexpectedly, I actually met him.

He waved the folding fan in his hand and said politely: "Your mother is more powerful. There are really mountains outside the mountains in this world, and there are people outside the world..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and asked shopkeeper Zhou next to him to give the writing brush worth two taels of silver to Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, I will give you this thing. I just bought this writing brush yesterday. I haven't given it to you yet." It's used, it's considered half new, and I think you seem to be literate, so you should study hard to read and write when you get home!"

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Master Jiang!"

I have to say that this young master Jiang is quite nice. Not only does he not mind her identity as a woman, but he also encourages her to study hard and become literate.

This kind of thinking is very valuable in this era!

The problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage came to an end, and the mother and daughter left here and walked towards the street corner where the ice cream was sold.

Speaking of which, they haven't come here to sell ice cream for two days, and when they came, there wasn't as dense a line of people as before.

Jiang Wei held up an umbrella, set up a stall, and waited for a while before anyone came forward to buy.

"Oh, Miss Jiang, you are finally here to sell ice cream! What happened to you two days ago? Why didn't you come?"

Several women came forward happily and said while taking out money: "My grandson has been waiting for your ice cream every day. He hasn't had any in the past two days. He is making a fuss at home. Give me two!"
