"Hongsheng, it's not that my sister-in-law won't agree to you, but even if our family wants to open a restaurant, it won't work! Although we have made some money selling scallion pancakes these days, it is only less than two times, do you know how much it costs to open a restaurant? We don't have that capital at all! The woman is still sparing no effort to find all kinds of excuses to persuade Xia Hongsheng, so that he can dispel this idea, she believes that now is just a whimsical idea after Xia Hongsheng saw that the scallion pancakes were sold for some money, and it was not a mature decision at all. But no matter what she says, she can always be refuted by Xia Hongsheng without words, but she can't help but think that what Xia Hongsheng said is very reasonable. This made the woman feel very overwhelmed, and reason told her that Xia Hongsheng could not engage in businessmen and open restaurants, which would be affected, but from Xia Hongsheng's words, her thoughts kept thinking about the future described by Xia Hongsheng. In the end, the last struggle can only be done at no cost.

Unexpectedly, this question still failed to make Xia Hongsheng show a look of embarrassment, and it seemed that he didn't even have a moment to think of a way, Xia Hongsheng grinned, as if he had expected that the woman would say this, waved his hand, and said: "Sister-in-law, how much investment is needed to open a restaurant, Hongsheng naturally knows, and also knows that our family does not have this capital now." ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, the woman's heart finally dropped slightly, but immediately, with Xia Hongsheng's "but", it was raised high in her throat again.

"However, sister-in-law, Hongsheng has a countermeasure, we don't need a house, we don't need a big place, and we don't even need extra manpower. Sister-in-law, you will know in a few days, today, you should continue to sell scallion pancakes, and when you come back, remember to go to a few more pharmacies and spice shops, and find the things I wrote to you. Sister-in-law, you are a smart person, those things I asked you to buy are my secret recipes, and I can't let people know for the time being, sister-in-law, I know you have a way? I wrote only one on each piece of paper. ”

"Paper is so expensive...... Don't use to write, you! Alas! I can't control you, sister-in-law can't control you! The woman's eyes were red, and Xia Hongsheng was becoming strange in her eyes. There is a stack of paper on the table in the room, and the paper is not cheap now, and the fees charged in the academy are also more on these papers. This is because Luanzhou Academy is larger, and there are many other private schools that rarely use paper, and most of them use sand tables to practice calligraphy. Xia Hongsheng practiced calligraphy and dictation frantically in the academy, in fact, not for anything else, just to get back some more paper, after all, he really can't accept that kind of toilet chip, even if he pulls a handful of leaves, it is better than that! Xia Hongsheng deliberately wasted so much paper just to solve the problem of wiping dirt.

Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law not only felt sorry for those papers, but also had a feeling of insecurity, Xia Hongsheng was becoming a person she no longer knew. Xia Hongsheng didn't understand his sister-in-law's thoughts, so he sighed and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, no matter what Hongsheng has become, Hongsheng is still the same Hongsheng." The kindness you raised Hongsheng has always remembered Hongsheng. You have paid so much for our dilapidated home, and now, it is time for Hongsheng to take on this responsibility. Sister-in-law, believe it or not, one day I will make up for all the good days you lost! Sister-in-law, believe me once, Hongsheng is not a brainless person. ”

The woman's eyes were even more red, but she felt a strong self-confidence from Xia Hongsheng's body, at this moment, the woman felt that Xia Hongsheng was so reliable, and he was already like a man who stood up to the sky!

Finally persuaded his sister-in-law, Xia Hongsheng took out a few sheets from the stack of papers, ran out of the door, and ran all the way to the carpenter Zhang Laohan's house, the snack cart has been formed, Zhang Laohan's craftsmanship is very good, Xia Hongsheng's idea is very complete, and it is realized in a very suitable way, however, Xia Hongsheng only looked at it for a few times, and was covered by Zhang Laohan with a tarpaulin, saying that it was not completely completed, and he didn't want him to see such an unrefined semi-finished product. Xia Hongsheng respected the pride of the craftsman, so he obediently didn't look at it anymore, but handed over the pieces of paper to Zhang Laohan, and explained the clear method and the effect to be achieved. Before leaving, Zhang Laohan was already surprised that Xia Hongsheng was a celestial, not that he was good-looking, but that the ideas in his head were too novel, too good at inventing and creating zào! Alas, if this son is not a scholar, but has come to learn the craft of the old man, he will definitely be a god craftsman like the public class in the future!

Zhang Laohan stood at the door and was melancholy for a long time, then he reacted, and hurriedly went back to call his eldest son to study what Xia Hongsheng handed over to them.

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly walked on the way to the academy, and for the first time felt that he needed to do so much. The bucket of salt water has been soaked for a few days, and it has been scooped away by my sister-in-law for almost a third, and I haven't had time to extract the effect of refined salt; The mobile snack cart for my sister-in-law, as well as some supporting things, still need a few days to wait; Teaching my sister-in-law to learn some foods suitable for selling at food stalls has not yet begun; Stir-fried tea, the tea promised by Master Yan has not yet reached his hands; As for the idea of making a folding fan, it will have to wait for Zhang Laohan to finish making a mobile snack cart and then make a fan bone. By the way, you have to find a blacksmith, after all, the kind of wok and other tools used in later generations have not yet appeared.

Come to think of it, I'm so busy! Xia Hongsheng's sorrow comes from it, and it can't be cut off - when can I live a life of brocade clothes and jade food, hug my sister and watch singing and dancing, and then eat and wait for death!

Xia Hongsheng, who was thinking like this, couldn't help but become depressed, and his feet were full of a few steps, so that when he arrived at the academy, he found that he was already late. This made Xia Hongsheng's mood even worse. casually made up an excuse for dizziness, and escaped the punishment of the gentleman, thinking that the gentleman believed in himself too much, or that no one in this academy had made up excuses for being late, these students thought that they were already scholars, they were all very arrogant, and they did not have much knowledge, but the stinky temper of the literati had learned thoroughly, and they would rather be beaten than lie. Xia Hongsheng didn't have any pressure, who hasn't done this kind of thing in the future? Maybe Xia Hongsheng's listless appearance really looked like he was sick, and Mr. even came over to ask Xia Hongsheng if he needed to go back to rest, and by the way, he looked for Lang Zhong, which made Xia Hongsheng a little ashamed, and hurriedly shook his head again and again to say that he was fine, grabbed the book and recited it aloud.

At the end of the morning reading, the other students went out, and Xia Hongsheng lay on the table. After a while, Xu Qixian came in, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng lying on the table, he asked, "I waited for you outside for a long time, and I didn't see you, but I was crawling here in a daze?" How, what are you thinking about? ”

"I'm thinking about how to be a bastard and wait for death." Xia Hongsheng turned his head lazily and said honestly: "The road to the gentleman has a long way to go!" ”

Xu Qixian laughed after a while, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Then you have to spend more brains, if you come up with one or two, you can also sue sù as a brother." This is a gentleman who doesn't have to worry about anything, but he also wants to do it for his brother. ”

"What are you worried about?" Xia Hongsheng asked casually.

"Uncle is coming, and he has already released the words that he wants to take the school exam, and my brother is worried about this." Xu Qixian's face was dish, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

Xia Hongsheng disagreed: "Just the examination school, you can even pass the teacher's examination school, what are you afraid of." ”

Xu Qixian smiled bitterly again: "You don't understand, my uncle is not only proficient in Confucianism, but also proficient in arithmetic, and he has always asked us juniors not to relax arithmetic, saying that it will be of great use in the future." He is a minister of the former dynasty, although he has started from a small county again, but the majesty is still there, and he is afraid that his brother will see him, his mind is blank, and he can still memorize a few words of the scriptures, but if he is converted to arithmetic, he doesn't know anything, and he can't count a single number. Alas, it will be embarrassing again. ”

Xia Hongsheng was happy: "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be because of this?" Say it early, my little brother will teach you a few sets of formulas, as long as you master it, you will be sure to calculate it quickly! ”

Xu Qixian was taken aback, looking at Xia Hongsheng's casual appearance, he felt that he seemed to be joking, but he had seen Xia Hongsheng's ability, and felt that Xia Hongsheng would really have a way, so he was half-convinced and asked, "What formula?" ”

"Commutative Laws of Addition, Associative Laws, Multiplication Tables, Multiplicative Distributive Laws, Associative Laws, Commutative Laws...... Cut, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the level of mathematics in primary school, not too simple. Xia Hongsheng said angrily: "It's not that I said, what you can learn in minutes, as long as you master it, you can calculate the calculation problems from your uncle." If I can't teach you how to solve equations, I don't believe how difficult your uncle's math problems can be. ”

Xu Qixian was dumbfounded when he heard it, he had already been blindsided when those laws and laws came out of Xia Hongsheng's mouth, but for no reason, he suddenly had confidence in his heart, it sounded like such a mysterious thing, if he learned it, wouldn't it be that his uncle would have no way to take it? The two younger ones of his family used to defeat their cousin in arithmetic every time, so that they lost face in front of them, and the majesty of their brother was swept away. This time, I took out the new theory of what Senior Brother Xia did and what Junzi did and Junzi Yuan's cooking, and even the gentlemen of the academy were eye-opening, presumably they would be able to understand guò, in arithmetic, if they learned this and what the law, and won them, wouldn't it be a shame!

"Senior Brother Xia, teach me quickly!" Xu Qixian's eyes sparkled, and he dragged Xia Hongsheng over.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Take a pen and paper!" ”

Xu Qixian ran out, and soon ran in again, with a thick stack of paper in his hand and a quill in his hand, he knew that Xia Hongsheng preferred to use a quill pen.

Xia Hongsheng took the stack of paper, wahaha, go back and put it in the thatched house, it can support it for several days!
