Bai Xiaoqi is indeed a bit academically inclined. Her Chinese has reached the sixth grade level. She is about to enter junior high school and bid farewell to her status as a primary school student. However, her math skills are still in the third grade.

She can memorize the multiplication tables quite well, but unfortunately when it comes to slightly more complex logical operations, even the kind of questions that can only be solved by addition and subtraction, she will look confused.

"Lao Wang opened a shoe store. A pair of shoes was purchased for 30 and sold for 20. Xiao Ming went to buy shoes, and it was Xiao Ming again..."

Seeing the two words "Xiao Ming", Bai Xiaoqi gritted her teeth like a conditioned reflex and bit the end of her pencil so hard that it clicked.

This Xiao Ming is definitely the person she hates the most. He does nothing else every day and only tortures himself by engaging in confusing behaviors.

Either turn off the water and turn on the water, wait for others to go out and then go out to chase them, and walk at a constant speed, or go to the construction site to watch others building roads. The people building the roads also have problems. If they don't repair them together, they must be divided into two construction teams.

Taking a deep breath, she continued to read the topic, "Xiao Ming gave Lao Wang a hundred, but Lao Wang couldn't find it, so he went to the supermarket next door to change it and gave it back to Xiao Ming.

Afterwards, the supermarket owner discovered that the one hundred dollars just now was fake, so Lao Wang could only pay another hundred to the supermarket owner. How much money did Lao Wang lose in total?"

What the hell is this?

Bai Xiaoqi was confused, and read the question again without giving up, and continued to repeat the question over and over again.

Chen Shuo, who was typing words, was unable to concentrate because of what she was saying. He stopped and listened attentively for a while, and then reminded her loudly: "There are many interference items in this question."

"Distractions?"

"Yes, you are also a businessman after all. I think this kind of question is quite suitable for you. As long as you put yourself into the role of Lao Wang, you can get the answer quickly."

Chen Shuo's words made Bai Xiaoqi think deeply. After a moment of pause, she started reading the question again and continued to mutter in a low voice,

"I am Lao Wang, I am Lao Wang, I am Lao Wang..."

After talking about it for a long time, she found that she was almost in a daze and couldn't put it into words.

I am also a businessman, but I can't understand this question. The purchase price of thirty and the sale of twenty makes people worried about Lao Wang's physical condition. Is there really nothing wrong with his head?

"Old Wang, when you were doing this question, bah, can you stop doing this? I always feel like you want to get under someone else's bed."

Chen Shuo sighed, the title Lao Wang is really too imaginative. Thanks to the Internet, Lao Wang has the status of a wife harvester, comparable to Boss Cao.

Facing Bai Xiaoqi's incomprehensible look, he continued: "When doing this question, you don't have to look at anything else. Just look at what Xiao Ming took. What he took away was what Lao Wang lost, so you

How much do you think Lao Wang lost?"

"...."

Bai Xiaoqi bit her pen and thought about it for a while, then turned around and asked, "Eighty yuan plus a pair of shoes?"

"Yes, a pair of shoes costs thirty yuan, plus eighty yuan in change, which means it is one hundred and eleven, do you understand?"

Her eyes gradually brightened, and she suddenly said: "Old Wang also gave the owner of the supermarket next door a hundred, so the answer is that Old Wang lost two hundred and one."

"There's no need to count that one hundred."

"Why doesn't it count?"

"Because this is also a distraction."

"I don't think so." Bai Xiaoqi shook her head. If she were Lao Wang, she would even feel that she had lost more.

After thinking about it, she came up with another hypothesis, "It's possible that the owner of the supermarket next door has a bad heart and deliberately used a counterfeit one hundred yuan to steal Lao Wang's real one hundred yuan. That's possible."

"Mathematics is a very rigorous subject. This kind of thing may happen in real life, but when it comes to math problems, as long as it is not mentioned in the title, this kind of thing will not happen."

"But I still feel that Lao Wang lost two hundred and one."

Seeing that she still disagreed and still insisted on his own opinion, Chen Shuo looked at the computer screen and said: "Just wait a moment, I will be finished here soon. When I finish coding today's chapter, I will give it to you."

Explain this question.

You should take advantage of this time to prepare some cash, um... you need a hundred yuan in whole currency, and a hundred yuan in change."

"But I don't have any cash."

"Didn't my parents give you a big red envelope on New Year's Eve?"

"That was given to me by my uncle and aunt. I don't want to tear it apart."

"Okay, okay, then you can find some paper and draw some money on it."

"oh..."

Bai Xiaoqi groaned, leaned over and found a notebook under the coffee table. Just as he pulled off a few pieces of paper, he remembered something and asked: "Does this count as making counterfeit money? I heard that making counterfeit money is illegal and you will be caught.

stand up."

Chen Shuo was silent for a moment after hearing this, "...You are really a good citizen who understands and abides by the law."

Finally, he added: "But you are worrying too much. Unless the counterfeit money you draw can be mistaken for the real thing, the police will not arrest you."

"That's right."

Bai Xiaoqi had to admit that what he said made sense. She felt that she was really worrying too much. If she simply drew two pieces of money and didn't use them, the police would definitely not know about it.

Seeing her lying on the coffee table and starting to write and draw, Chen Shuo couldn't help but glance sideways and felt disappointed, thinking that she could draw something, but...

If you write numbers on a few pieces of paper, is it counterfeit money?

According to your understanding, in this society, counterfeit currency is flying all over the sky, the financial system is collapsing, and social turmoil is happening.

How stupid, this is simply stupid.

After finishing the chapter and setting up a scheduled release, Chen Shuo closed the computer, then moved to the side, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the stupid little Ah Meow, "Have you finished drawing?"

"Well, look."

Bai Xiaoqi picked up some pieces of paper she had drawn and showed them to him as if to show off.

"The painting is great."

Chen Shuo praised him against his will and continued: "Now you will play Lao Wang and I will play Xiao Ming. Let's replay the scene in the question."

As he said that, he picked up the pencil again and wrote the words "False One Hundred" on a blank piece of paper, "This piece of paper will serve as the fake One Hundred."

"Who plays the owner of the supermarket next door?"

"This is a secondary role. When the time comes, I will play two roles."

"What about the shoes?"

"This is not easy." Chen Shuo leaned over and picked up her slippers, "I'll use your slippers as shoes for sale."

"Now suppose you only have this one hundred dollars in your pocket, and then..."

The little melodrama about Lao Wang selling shoes has begun.

........

Ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoqi looked at the money drawn on paper in his hand, checked it again carefully, and found that he had lost a hundred and eleven.

"Why do I think this question is so easy now?" she asked.

"Mathematics is like this. As long as you master the ideas and methods of solving problems and eliminate those confusing options, you can get the answer quickly."

"I feel...very interesting."

"What's interesting?" Chen Shuo asked.

"That's the question, well, let's do it together..."

Bai Xiaoqi recalled the process of acting out sitcoms and answering questions with him, and felt an indescribable feeling.

I felt that doing this question was not painful at all, but rather interesting and happy.

"If you can't say it, forget it."

Seeing that she was stuck, Chen Shuo put aside the papers in her hand and said, "I can feel how happy you are now."

Maybe the two people solved the problem together and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, or maybe it was the way of solving the problem that was both educational and entertaining.

But no matter what it is, she seems to have experienced the fun of doing math problems, and it seems that it is possible to cure her partiality.

Bai Xiaoqi wrote down the answer to this question, and then closed the exercise book, "Today I studied mathematics, and tomorrow I can study Chinese, right?"
