Bastards are difficult

When Zhang Xiu came here, he brought a lot of gifts, but most of them were various dried fruits from Anding, including a few bottles of wine. Zhang Qian and Mr. Zhong both said that this Mr. Chu has no other hobbies. I'm just a bit greedy for my appetite, and I want to try something new, especially good wine.

With the abilities of the four masters of this gentleman, it is impossible for him not to drink wine, but what Zhang Xiu brought this time was made from the wild grapes he picked himself.

The wild grapes are all ripe and black and purple with the big belly of a little finger. The materials are strictly selected, washed, dried and packed in barrels. For this reason, they have spent seventy or eighty silver to buy white sugar that is almost as expensive as gold. This white sugar is not pure. The white one is slightly yellowish, and Zhang Xiu racked his brains to filter out the impurities, and in the end, he only got three jars of puree liquor of about 150 liters.

This puree wine is black and purple in color, but it has a clear and transparent texture. When it is poured into the cup, the fruity wine is fragrant and sticky to the nose. It is slightly astringent in the mouth and contains the sweet and bitter taste of wild fruits. The taste of the wine is very strong. The most important thing is She can blend with any liquor, the concentration is free, and each time has a different taste and enjoyment.

Zhang Xiu's taste in wine has always been in the stage of good or bad. This self-made wine is good. If you add water, it will be like fruit vinegar. It has a great stamina, but Zhang Qian is interested in this kind of wine It's very big, and I asked Zhang Xiu for the recipe. It looks like he's going to make a big deal in the coming year-in fact, this wine is just a whim he occasionally saw wild grapes.

Because the color is black and purple, Zhang Xiu named the wine Black Pearl, and it was the Black Pearl that was given to the two uncles.

The other is a complete white bear skin. Zhang Xiu only knew that polar bears are white, but he didn't expect that there would be great white bears in Qilian Mountains - it must be a genetic mutation to get albinism.

When Chu Wei saw the wine, he was so happy that he lost his eyes. He moved the wine into the house and hid it. The angry little girl stomped her feet fiercely.

Zhang Xiu was speechless watching Chu Wei running around like a hamster to hide things, and the little girl groaned and beat him behind.

When Chu Wei finally hid all his food (every place he frequented had dried fruits of various colors, the little girl was only given a small box), only the white bear skin was left, and finally Chu Wei simply spread it on his own On the bed, the concocted bear's head was next to the pillow, which looked weird no matter how you looked.

Zhang Xiu was even more unimaginable.

Even if the world uses fur to make a bed, it is still smooth leather. The most popular ones like tiger skin are just to make chairs. This is what he saw on TV. The tiger leather stool of the mountain carving is so awesome. I didn't expect this one to actually make a bed. Going to sleep with a bear.

Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, the little girl started mumbling again.

After Chu Wei was done, he brought out a plate. On the plate was a plate of dried fruits of various colors, such as raisins, cantaloupe, fragrant pears, white melons, and dates. The plate was full, and Zhang Xiu’s mouth twitched when he saw it , the little girl even hid and died.

Chu Wei has been eating, and Zhang Xiu is not good at talking. When Chu Wei finally wiped his mouth, he was satisfied and stopped eating. Before Zhang Xiu could speak, Chu Wei took out a book from his arms and threw it at Zhang Xiu: "I already know why you came here. This book is for you. It is almost the twelfth lunar month. You will be admitted in February next year. I don't make any demands. If you do two things, then follow me. One , Passed the children's test, the ranking is too low, you are not good enough to come to me, right? Second, finish all the questions in this book, and you won't use any wrong one, okay, let's go. "

Zhang Xiu was still dazed after being kicked out.

Mr. Chu, what does this mean?

When he opened the book and read it, he couldn't help laughing, it was full of arithmetic problems, some of which were very famous in later generations, such as chicken and rabbit in the same cage, such as children dividing fruit, such as bamboo height geometry, etc., which involved binary elements. Equations, Pythagorean theorem, four operations, word problems and so on.

If a real ancient child couldn't say it, he would cry, thanks to him, a modern person, and even more fortunate that he is sensitive to numbers and has always been full marks in mathematics since he was a child. The problem of livelihood almost listened to the teacher's bewitching and enrolled in a mathematics major.

But the calculation is simple, but the difficulty is how to modernize the calculation method. Now there is no XYZ, no Pythagorean theorem, and no square cube.

Anyway, in the past few years, I have dabbled in the six arts of a gentleman. Although the music part is really horrible, there is no way, I really don’t have the musical talent, but the number of this part is unmatched, and the calculation of the chess part is considered top-notch.

It was only after going to school in Prince Jing’s Mansion that Zhang Xiu realized that the ancient students were much harder than the modern ones, because what they learned not only had to be dabbled but also proficient. It can be said that apart from Le, Zhang Xiu is now completely an ancient student, and Le Zhi So poor, on the one hand, it is because there is no music, on the other hand, the so-called music is basically a babbling ditty, and the people listening to it are drowsy, and they are not as refreshing as the drums. By the way, the piano flute After Zhang Xiu found out that he couldn’t learn musical instruments such as Xiao, he specially bought an ancient version of the drum set. Once it was his turn, he would move it on the stage and beat it randomly. Anyway, he was already ashamed and lost at home, so it didn’t matter if he stepped on the ground again. Yes, at least the drum kit is easy for him to distinguish the timbre.

But he can't take care of these for the time being. There are [-] questions in this book, and it will take half a day to finish all of them at his speed, not to mention the old-fashioned problem-solving methods.

Anyway, the two conditions mentioned by this gentleman are indispensable, so he doesn't need to worry about getting this first, let's talk about it after he has passed the child's test first.

Gao Jin didn't understand these things at all, but just kept recalling the old man's style, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.

Mingyan was full of energy, and Zhang Xiu didn't hide some things from him. For example, this gentleman's ability, Mingyan felt that being famous was better than meeting him. This person looked like a poor scholar, and he didn't seem to be related to the royal family. up?

Zhang Xiu shook his head and sighed: "When you look at people, you can't just look at the surface."

Mingyan wanted to ask again, but Zhang Xiu refused to say any more.

Maybe Chu Wei is very boring to outsiders, he is almost an old man, and his family is not without money, so he runs to the village all day long, laughing and scolding for fun, but those who don’t know think that this person is pretending to be noble and looks down on his family What about family status?

But Zhang Xiu could see clearly that Chu Wei was a real man of action.

Before Zhang Qian said with a strange face that this gentleman was a bit weird and told him not to think about it, he was a little strange. Mr. Zhong's admiration is really not aimed at a writer, let alone his uncle. It is both admiration and weird entanglement.

It was only when Zhang Xiu arrived in Taoyuan Village that he realized that the talented person in the eyes of outsiders was still a scientist.

His house in Taoyuan Village is not small. Although it looks dilapidated on the outside, it is also a large courtyard with three entrances. He himself occupies a main room for his daily life. The little girl is his favorite little granddaughter. The east chamber and the west chamber are full of various crops, and even the back room is stacked with various seed crops and the like. The little girl's daily task is to burn firewood to ensure the heating of the house.

As for the crops in those houses, apart from some common vegetables and cucumbers in spring and summer, there are actually two plants of corn, three plants of sweet potatoes, one plant of tomato that has bloomed, and two pots of potatoes that are one shovel high.

This surprised Zhang Xiu.

He remembered that these four things were introduced to China in the middle and late sixteenth century. Ming Hui Emperor Zhu Yunwen reigned for 23 years, Zhu Yuanzhang died almost 1400 years ago, and it has been 110 years since Dasheng was established. Could it be that these things are actually early? It just didn't spread?Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how Chu Wei got these seeds.

The reason why Chu Wei was caught in the trap was that he wanted to catch some bees. Although he didn’t know how pollination was going on, he knew that a flowering fruit tree would not bear fruit without bees and butterflies, but now that it’s winter, the butterflies have long since disappeared. There were no traces, and the bees were also hidden. He could only take the risk to dig out the beehives, but he only looked up, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, so he was caught up.

He made all these, but it was entirely for the purpose of finding out how to plant these things so as to solve the problem of people's stomachs in famine years. Chu Wei is not greedy, at least one more thing, and more people will live in the coming year. Anyway, he has a lot of time. After having a grandson, he put all his energy into discovering new species, and sometimes he would even take risks alone, such as that persimmon, he was ready to die at that time, and he lay down on the bed neatly dressed in mourning , the little granddaughter was crying heart-piercingly, but he ate tomatoes and waited to die. As a result, two days later, he was not poisoned to death, but almost died of starvation and thirst, until half a month later, he was completely fine. Only then did he make sure that this sweet and sour thing was really edible, and his granddaughter was smeared when he let her eat it.

Zhang Xiu was not clear about these details, and Chu Wei would not tell outsiders about his embarrassing things, but he couldn't hold back his admiration and respect for this gentleman.

Even if you can't become a master and apprentice at that time, it is a very honorable thing to become a Wangnian friend.

Zhang Xiu himself is not good at farming. Although he was an orphan in his last life, he was also a city resident. When he was a child, he planted some tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, strawberries, etc. in the orphanage, mainly to subsidize the life of the orphanage, but as a modern person , have at least learned some biological knowledge, and there are Internet bombings, and some things are known.

Although he can't cultivate hybrid rice like Yuan Longping, and he may not have the patience to endure loneliness like Mr. Chu for a few possible grains, but it is possible to take the opportunity to point out the key points, at least it can keep him from leaving Too many detours.

He Zhang Xiu is selfish, but he also has a little patriotism and love for the people.

The descendants of Yan and Huang are protecting their weaknesses in their bones.

When Zhang Xiu returned home, he saw Li Linyi crying and mourning. The 40-year-old man was very happy when he made this expression.

After Zhang Xiu washed his face slowly, he asked slowly:

"Butler Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Linyi's mouth twitched twice, and he almost cried: "Young master, Mr. Jiang has been here several times and you are not here. Today, Mr. Jiang came again. He said that if you are not here next time, he will tear down our house." door."

If someone else said this, Li Linyi might scoff, but it was Jiang Minghao who said this. He also knows this young master. Prince Jing's five sons are the most consistent. He said that he would demolish it. Then it will really break down.

"Eldest young master, what should we do? Mr. Jiang said that he will come tomorrow."

The tea that Zhang Xiu just drank suddenly spewed out, coughing again and again.

The author has something to say:

Stuck, I'm sorry everyone.

It was hard to climb out.

There are several ancient arithmetic problems, friends who are interested can play.

1. In the "Siyuan Yujian" compiled by Zhu Shijie, a mathematician of the Yuan Dynasty, there is such a mathematical poem: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine coins, and one thousand pears and fruits in season. Nine pears for eleven coins, four coins for seven fruits Money, how much is the pear fruit?"

2. In the "Nine Chapters Algorithm Comparison Encyclopedia" written by Wu Jing in the Ming Dynasty, there is the following mathematical poem: "Looking at the seventh floor of the towering tower, the red light is doubling. There are 380 lights in total. How many lights are on the tip?" This poem is like an algebra problem 3. The famous ancient arithmetic problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage does not know how many chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, and 36 heads are exposed in the cage.Count fifty pairs of feet, how many chickens and rabbits are there?

4. The bamboo is one foot high, and the end is folded to the ground, and it is three feet away from the original. How tall is the bamboo?

5. Ancient arithmetic problem: children divide the fruit: a group of dolls sit around the table and divide the fruit. Each person has 6 and 6 is left, and each person has 7 and 7 is less. Smart friends calculate how many dolls are fruit?

6. Once the sheep were released, he had three sons.One day, the old man passed away, and the 11 sheep and a will left by the old man had to be divided.

It is written in the will: The eldest son has meritorious service in running the family, so he can share half of the sheep left; One-sixth of the sheep, the will also stated that the sheep must not be killed, otherwise the old man will not rest in peace under the nine springs.How to divide the 4 sheep according to the requirements of the old man without killing the sheep?
