The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 214 The Rain Man Appears
The new book signing will officially start at [-]:[-] am.

For Xiaoxiao's platform, Li Fan really didn't know what to do. Xiaoxiao took the microphone and talked to the fans about the creation process of the new poem. After sharing her insights, Li Fan stood up and went on stage. Amidst the cheers, Said some innocuous scenes.

The new book signing officially started at 8:[-].

Fans bought books one by one, and then lined up in front of Xiaoxiao, opened the collection of poems, and waited for Xiaoxiao's autograph.

The first reader is Xiaoxiao's die-hard fan. After she put the collection of poems on the table, she made a special request: "Can you write a blessing?"

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "What kind of blessing?"

"May Xiaoxin and I grow old together forever and be united forever."

puff!
Li Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing. He raised his head and took a closer look at the little girl in school uniform. The words "Provincial Experimental Primary School" were written on her clothes. The little girl looked like a fifth grader in elementary school. Looks like sixth grade.

What's the fuss, this puppy love is really too early, the little kid is too precocious now, Li Fan instantly felt that he was abandoned by the times, and had already stepped into the ranks of uncles.

Xiaoxiao was also dumbfounded, this one can't be signed, isn't this a joke?

Seeing this, Li Fan took the poetry collection and said, "I'll sign it for you!"

Li Fan picked up the pen, and scribbled down a line of handsome characters: Jinshuitangtang, and the secret of the emperor.

After the little girl got it in her hand, she couldn't understand it for a while, so she happily took the collection of poems and left. It is estimated that she will soon know that this is the last line of a breakup poem, which is Zhuo Wenjun's "Farewell Book" .

It's easy to translate, that is: see this Taotao Jinshui, I want to break up with you.

Xiaoxiao hit Li Fan on the back of the head with the pen, "You kid, you just like to make mischief. When the little girl comes home and knows what she means, why don't you cry in anger?"

"This age is too early."

Xiaoxiao said: "It's just the beginning of love."

Li Fan wanted to ask you when you first fell in love, but there are so many people who can't ask.

The following signing session was very busy. There were quite a lot of requests for this request to write some blessings and that request to write some famous quotes. The 20 yuan was really worth it.

Li Fan was not idle either, Xiaoxiao had just finished writing, and this collection of poems was handed directly to Li Fan, they were all celebrities, Xiaoxiao's fans thought that you should stop sitting idle.

And those who came to Li Fan were even more impolite.

For example, this boy, after he handed the collection of poems in his hand to Xiaoxiao, kept staring at Li Fan beside Xiaoxiao with a big smile. As soon as Xiaoxiao finished signing, he immediately picked up the collection of poems and walked up to Li Fan and said: "Li Fan, I am your die-hard fan, super fan, brain-dead fan, spicy fan, please write a few more words, thank you."

Another example is this lady, who is more straightforward. After buying a collection of poems, she passed Xiaoxiao directly, and came straight to Li Fan, and said excitedly: "Li Fan, I finally see you."

Li Fan nodded, "Thank you for your love."

The woman opened her arms, "Hug."

Li Fan had no choice but to stand up and give him a hug.

The lady almost fainted from happiness, and after asking for an autograph, she happily walked to the other side.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxiao thought to herself, whose new book signing is this?

Xiaoxiao was somewhat embarrassed, but more pleased. After all, Li Fan was also considered half of his students. Students can have such a great appeal, and teachers are also very happy.

The book signing lasted for a long time, until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it finally came to an end, because all the books were sold out.

However, Li Fan glanced outside the door, the line seemed to be longer than before, and there were countless people greeting him.

After thanking the fans repeatedly, Xiaoxiao ended the signing session, and the two, accompanied by the staff, went directly to the upstairs office to take a break.

Xiaoxiao said while drinking tea: "Li Fan, more than half of today's grades will be counted on your head, so tell me how to reward you."

Li Fan thought for a while, and said, "Just talk about your first love affair."

"You're a gossip!"

"People don't gossip about young people, tell me, which teacher or student did you have a crush on first?"

Xiaoxiao held up her fragrant cheeks and looked out the window, as if she fell into the vortex of memories for a moment. The leaves on the branches outside the window rustled and gradually became blurred.

She murmured, "It should be my physical education teacher."

"Who else?"

"No!"

"Impossible, I've finished talking about elementary school, let's talk about junior high school, high school, university, and now, yes, especially now!"

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Can I chat with you little brat? Among the men I know, oh, let's count you as a small man for now. Among the men I know, you are the most gossiping, Oh, by the way, aren't you researching some new textual research, then you can textual research, when did this 'gossip' escape."

"Well," Li Fan scratched his head, "I can only tell you the approximate origin of 'gossip'. I haven't verified it, and I don't have time to verify everything, right?
The modern term 'gossip' has multiple origins:
One said: During the period of the Republic of China, in order to increase business, some teahouses posted all kinds of gossip in the shape of gossip on the outer wall of the teahouse, so the name of gossip came from this.

The second said: "Gossip" should originally come from Cantonese. In Cantonese, the original meaning of "Gossip" is to gossip and gossip everywhere.

Three said: Gossip is equivalent to 'snacking gowns'.That is, take off the other party's clothes to expose the other party.

……

Ba said: The origin of the title of "Bagua" is that when Xiangjiang yellow books were released in the early years, extremely "cool and eye-catching" photos were published on the cover. Due to the constraints of law and social morality, "Bagua pictures" had to be posted on key parts. A small gossip map has the effect similar to a mosaic.This kind of magazines that report on the private lives of celebrities got their names from this, and "gossip" gradually became the meaning of spying on people's privacy and spreading rumors. "

Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and stared at Li Fan carefully, thinking that Teacher Li is Teacher Li, why does she know everything?This is simply an encyclopedia than an encyclopedia.

Xiaoxiaojian took a slant, seeing no one in the lounge, she lowered her voice and said: "I'm a low-level student in the exam, so why do you call women 'big aunts'?"

puff!
Li Fan burst out laughing, what the hell is going on!

Xiaoxiao's face turned red instantly, she looked at the door again, and was relieved when she saw that there was no outsider, she swore she was just asking casually, thinking to embarrass Li Fan, but she didn't expect to ask a tasteful question.

Li Fan said with a smile: "Famous poet! Lecturer of Beijing University! Are you so heavy?"

Xiaoxiao regrets this, but since she asked the question, she has to slap her face and pretend to be fat, "Li Fan, you don't need to know, or you don't need to answer, but this is a healthy topic, you can't wear colored glasses Let’s look at it, for example, there is a piece of news about a man who bought sanitary napkins for his girlfriend and was scolded by a woman as a pervert. What do you think?”

"This is normal. If you need it, I'll go downstairs and buy it for you right now. In fact, people with a healthy heart will think that this is no different from nosebleeds. It is a physiological phenomenon of half of the world's population!"

Nosebleed?

What a metaphor.

Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, thinking that Li Fan is a kid, sometimes his words can make you laugh and cry.

Li Fan glanced outside the door, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, he was ready to start spreading knowledge:

"Let me tell you together, first of all, 'big aunt' is also called 'period holiday', why is it called menstruation holiday, this is the name after the founding of Huaguo.

It was said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, men and women were equal and had to participate in the work force. However, due to the structural reasons of female friends, the pain was often unbearable when things happened. The organization issued a clause: "Leave is granted as usual and wages are paid as usual." Later, "Leave is granted as usual." 'It's called 'period' for short. "

Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, "What about 'big aunt'?"

"You're easy to learn," Li Fan smiled, and continued, "As a woman, I don't know why menstruation is called my aunt. I blush for you. Let me explain to you."

Xiaoxiao countered: "You know what we women don't know, and I don't know who should blush more!"

"I... eh, this, then I don't know anything."

Xiaoxiao quickly put on a smile: "No, Teacher Li, please continue."

Li Fan cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "One day, a little girl had her period for the first time. She glanced down, then said in wonder, 'Huh?', and then yelled nervously' Mom!!', as time goes by, it spreads more and more widely, and "big aunt" comes from it."

Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "It turned out to be like this."

Li Fan said with a smile: "Of course not, just kidding you. Actually, there are too many sayings, and it's not reliable. Some people say that 'big aunt' refers to menstrual events and originated in the Han Dynasty.

It is said that there was a girl named Jia'er in the Han Dynasty. Both her parents died since she was a child, so she lived with her aunt.She fell in love with a scholar surnamed Li, and the two often dated secretly. Every time they were about to make out at home, they often heard the footsteps of their aunt coming home, so every time the girl would say, "Auntie is here." Come on, hide now! '

Later, the two got married, and on the big night, unfortunately, the girl came on her period, but out of reserve, the girl had to say: "No way, my aunt is here." 'So, the word slowly spread.

There is another way of saying..."

Xiaoxiao sat aside and listened carefully, leaning towards Li Fan unconsciously.

Well, another quiet and elegant girl was successfully led astray by Li Fan.

Creak, the door opens.

The store manager walked into the room with his staff and asked, "Hey, what are the two teachers talking about? They are so devoted."

Xiaoxiao's cheeks were slightly flushed, while Li Fan was very calm, and said with a smile, "That's right, I told Miss Xiaoxiao, the autograph session could have been saved so much time, just learn from other stars, get a seal, and put it directly in the book It's OK to press the chapter."

The store manager wants to arrange two "teachers" to have dinner, but "Ms. Li" has something to do, so she shirks it. Teacher Xiaoxiao has something to ask for advice and has no time.

What Xiaoxiao wants to "ask for advice" is the "guidance" of modern poetry creation. The object of this consultation is naturally "Teacher Li" in front of her, but Xiaoxiao changed the term, which is called mutual discussion.

After the two returned to the hotel, they got together and had a long talk all night, from ancient poetry to foreign poetry, and then back to the current situation of domestic modern and contemporary poetry.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Fan said: "It is relatively difficult to create poetry in China. It is very difficult to learn from ancient poetry and get rid of the shackles. It is also necessary to absorb advanced concepts and methods of foreign poetry creation, as well as our local culture. Combined, there are basically no such poets who are really good. There are many poets in Huaguo, but there are not many who are really worthy of the title of poet. There will not be 100 people who want to be passed down through the ages in the past 10 years..."

Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fan quietly, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, her waterfall-like hair resting lightly on her collarbone, revealing a trace of lazy sexiness.

Li Fan was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing, I was thinking, is there any professor in Peking University who is qualified to teach you."

"No, no, no," Li Fan shook his head again and again, "There is no end to learning. Confucius also said that three people must have my teacher. I'm still far behind."

Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I haven't found any weakness in you, Li Fan."

"Really? Then you will accompany me to Gongsu Radio and Television Center tomorrow, and visit the column group of "The Most Powerful Brain", and then you can see if I still have no weaknesses."

"Aren't you here to participate in the "Little Chinese Scholars"?"

"Yes, but I have contacted the program team before, and I will meet with the program team of "The Most Powerful Brain" during this trip."

……

The two got up at noon the next day, and after having a light meal, they rushed directly to the Gongsu Radio and Television Center.

The two had just arrived at the lobby on the first floor, and the Sun producer of "The Most Powerful Brain" had already been waiting for a long time.

Producer Sun hugged Li Fan very enthusiastically, and shook hands with Xiaoxiao. He was a little curious about why Xiaoxiao appeared here.

Xiaoxiao said: "I came with my student, sorry to bother you."

"That's what I said, I don't even have a chance to make friends with you, a great poet. Hurry up, let's talk in detail in the office."

Along the way, Producer Sun chatted with Xiaoxiao and Li Fan at the same time, no one was indifferent, a typical workplace "old fritters".

In the office, both parties sat down.

Producer Sun said: "Li Fan, the registration for "The Most Powerful Brain" is about to end. There are so many strong players this year, it's not easy."

Li Fan said: "I know this well, Huaguo is so big, if you look for it carefully, there will be many strange talents."

Just as Li Fan finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and said, "Brother Sun, a genius, we have met a math genius."

Producer Sun said with a smile: "Look, whatever you say, come over and let us have a look."

"Please wait."

After a while, the staff brought a mother and child from the interview room.The mother was dressed like a peasant woman in a mountain village. The son was about 20 years old, wearing new clothes that didn't fit very well. With dull eyes and protruding teeth, he walked into the room with the support of his mother.

Mother said in broken Mandarin: "Hello, leaders."

Producer Sun quickly got up and said, "Sit down, kid?"

Mother probably got used to it long ago, and said, "Cerebral palsy."

Li Fan and Xiaoxiao cast sympathetic and surprised glances.

Producer Sun said, "What's your specialty? Young man."

The young man smiled innocently, and said vaguely: "Arithmetic."

"Okay, can you show us how it works?"

Sun Zaozhuo took out a pen and paper from the desk, handed it over, took the calculator from his side, and asked, "Which one can add, subtract, multiply, and divide?"

The young man flicked his eyes upwards, scratched his hair, and said with a smirk, "It's all done."

"Well, how much is 5165+41+376-4519?"

Li Fan's memory ability and graphic sense are extremely strong, and his mental arithmetic ability is also outstanding. At this time, he quickly listed an equation in his mind, and the result came out quickly: 1063.

Just when Li Fan got the result, the young man also gave his answer. He said vaguely: "1063."

Producer Sun raised the calculator in his hand, showed the result to Xiaoxiao and Li Fan, then took it back, and continued to increase the difficulty, "What is 138 times 275 and divided by 28?"

Li Fan was still working out the formula in his head, and the young man gave the answer as soon as he finished speaking: "It is about 1355.357."

Sun made a "buzz" in his head, this...too fast, completely correct, he continued to ask: "Then young man, how many decimal places can you report?"

The young man frowned, froze for a moment, and then began to count: "1355.3571428..."

Li Fan Xiaoxiao stood up, walked behind Sun Zaozao and took a look at the calculator. Everyone was stunned.

Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fan, and there was a line of words in her eyes: Can you do it?

Li Fan shook his head frankly. It’s really not good. If you are inferior to others, you are not as good as others. My own strengths are not in this area. Li Fan’s mental arithmetic ability is actually relying on his super memory ability and image information memory ability to replace the process of written calculations. , it’s just twice as fast as ordinary students’ pen calculations, but it can’t reach this amazing level.

After all, Li Fan's specialty is not in this area.

The staff said: "For this young man, this is just pediatrics, 1+1."

"Is this still 1+1? Quickly perform 2+2!" Li Fan said excitedly.
