[QTC] MBDT Chapter 1769

As soon as he finished asking the question, Xiao Zimo answered clearly, “In the beginning of Heaven, all things were covered in dust…”

After he finished answering, he wasn’t given time to rest; the second question came immediately.

Xiao Zimo answered each question earnestly.

Feng Lihen asked one question after another, and Xiao Zimo answered one question after another. After a quarter of an hour, Feng Lihen stopped, satisfied.

“Not bad, you’ve learned very well. Only the Four Books of Ten Thousand Relationships is still lacking.”

Xiao Zimo was a little embarrassed. He said in a soft, sweet voice, “I’ve just started learning the Four Books of Ten Thousand Relationships.”

Feng Lihen raised an eyebrow: “How many days have you been studying it?”

“I only started reading it three days ago.”

Now, Feng Lihen was surprised. He had only read the book for three days, yet he had already grasped half of it; this truly surprised him.

Feng Lihen thought of something: “How long did it take you to study those books?”

“I started reading and learning to read five months ago.” Xiao Zimo replied obediently.

Feng Lihen was stunned, looking at him in surprise.

He thought that the little guy had been studying for at least two years, but he hadn’t expected it to be only five months. From knowing nothing to this level, such learning talent was absolutely one in a million.

“Can you do arithmetic?” Feng Lihen asked again.

“Yes.”

Feng Lihen thought for a moment and posed a simple arithmetic problem: “A cloth shop purchased 300 bolts of cloth, divided into three types, each with a different price. The first type costs ten coins per bolt, the second eighteen coins per bolt, and the third twenty-three coins per bolt.”

“The quantity of each type also varies: 150 bolts of the first type, 100 bolts of the second type, and 50 bolts of the third type. How much silver did the shop spend in total?”

Xiao Zimo answered without hesitation, “Two taels and four hundred and fifty coins.”

Feng Lihen’s eyes lit up. He immediately asked again, “If this shop purchases goods three times a month, how much does it spend per month?”

“Six and a half taels and three hundred and fifty coins.” Xiao Zimo replied quickly.

“The first type of cloth sells for thirty-five coins a bolt, the second for fifty coins, and the third for eighty coins. How much can you earn in a month after buying all this cloth?”

Feng Lihen thought that the little guy would think for a while, but the answer came as soon as he finished speaking.

“Fourteen taels and four hundred coins.”

“Your mental arithmetic is quite good.” Feng Lihen praised.

Xiao Zimo said, “It’s not that Mo’er is good at mental arithmetic, but that Mother taught me well. The multiplication tables Mother taught me are very easy to calculate.”

“Multiplication tables?” Feng Lihen had never heard of them before.

“Yes.”

“Can you tell me?”

“Okay.” Xiao Zimo recited the multiplication tables his mother had taught him.

Feng Lihen listened to the tables and felt that they were somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall them. This contradictory feeling caused him to frown slightly.

The multiplication table felt familiar, as if he should know it, yet he couldn’t recall any information about it.

Strange, very strange…

“Besides that, Mother also taught me a kind of calculation equation that can calculate many things very well and can be applied to life.” Xiao Xiao Zimo said excitedly.

However, the equation was quite profound. He had explained it to his teacher before, but the teacher was completely confused, while praising the simple multiplication table highly.
