Little Farmer Big Star

In this first episode, there is such a scene. www.biquge.info

One day, Ikkyu and his senior brothers went to the town market to beg for alms, and found a large group of people gathered around a place in the town market, as if something was going on.

After Ikkyu and his senior brothers got closer, they gradually understood the situation.

A rich young man in his twenties, dressed entirely in silk and satin, walked struttingly through the town market with a few fierce-looking servants.

The young master saw an old man selling fruit at the roadside. The fruit at his stall was very good, so he took one to eat, but after eating, he didn't give him any money.

The old man selling fruit naturally refused. In the process of asking for money, he and the young master pulled each other a few times. The old man's hands were stained with mud, and the young master's clothes were stained during the pulling.

Now, the young master quits and must make the old man pay for a new dress. The young master claimed that the dress was worth ten taels of silver and asked the old man to pay him ten taels of silver.

If the debt is not compensated, the old man’s daughter will be used to pay off the debt.

Ten taels of silver, how can the old man have so much money? It is naturally even more impossible to use his daughter to pay off the debt.

The old man had no choice but to beg the young master to be kind and willing to use fruit to make amends.

The young master refused, and only wanted money or the old man's daughter.

Although the people watching around sympathized with the old man, they did not dare to provoke the rich young master, so no one came to help.

After Ikkyu understood what happened, he was very angry. The young master had made a mistake by refusing to pay for the fruit, and his subsequent demands were even more excessive.

He stepped forward to stop the young master and told him not to bully the old man, otherwise he would report to the official.

After hearing the report, the young master finally restrained himself a little. Although his family was rich, they were unwilling to deal with the government.

With an idea, the young master said that he could give the old man a chance. He had two Go pieces, black and white, in his hand.

He would hold a Go piece in one hand and let the old man guess which hand the white Go piece was in?

If the old man guessed correctly, not only would he not let him pay for his clothes or daughter, but he would also pay for the fruit he had just eaten.

But if the old man guesses wrong, he must pay for his clothes or his daughter.

After saying that,

Without waiting for the old man's consent, the young master stretched out his two clenched fists in front of the old man and asked him to guess.

There was only a 50% chance, so the old man naturally refused to guess. As soon as I saw him, he said to the old man: "Grandpa, I guess this is very good. Let me help you guess."

After finishing speaking, he said to the young master: "I guess the white chess piece is in your right hand."

After hearing this, the young master burst into laughter and said very proudly: "Little monk, you guessed wrong. Look carefully."

After saying that, he opened his right hand so that Ikkyu and everyone around him could see clearly.

"Wait a minute!" Ikkyu suddenly said.

"What? The young monk changed his mind?" the young master asked.

Ikkyu shook his head and said: "No, I still guess that the white chess piece is in your right hand. However, I don't want you to open your right hand, I want you to open your left hand. If there is a black chess piece in your left hand, it proves that we You guessed it. Excuse me?"

After hearing this, the young master's expression changed. After staring at Ikkyu for a long time, he dropped the chess piece in his left hand heavily to the ground.

After that, he took out another copper coin and gave it to the old man as money for the fruit he had just eaten. Then he greeted his servants and left angrily.

When everyone around them saw that the chess piece thrown out of the young master's left hand was black, they couldn't help but cheered and praised the young monk for his good luck. He really guessed it right.

But Yixiu's senior brother said: "Yixiu, you are too reckless. If you guess wrong, will you harm this old man? This kind of thing should be reported to the official."

Ikkyu laughed and said: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will guess it 100% correctly, because both hands of that person are actually black chess pieces."

"Are they all black chess pieces?" The eldest brother and everyone around him didn't react for a while. They thought about it for a moment before they understood.

It turns out that the young master asked the old man to guess which hand the white chess piece is in? But in both of his hands, there were black chess pieces.

In this way, no matter which hand the old man guesses the white chess piece is in, he will naturally lose.

What a cunning person, but Ikkyu is smarter than him, turning a losing situation into a winning situation.

Everyone who came to understand praised the young Yixiu for being so smart. The old man was also very grateful and took some fruits to thank Yixiu and his senior brothers.

…

The eyes of all the comic fans were also brightened up, and Ikkyu was indeed a smart man.

"Haha, at first I thought Xiao Yixiu was really relying on luck, but it turns out that's what happened. Well, I learned another trick."

"It seems that "Smart Ikkyu" is composed of short stories like this. Don't tell me, these short stories are really interesting."

"Not only is it interesting, we can also learn clever ways to solve problems. Especially for children, it can very well cultivate the habit of using their brains."

"That's right. I think every young parent should buy a copy of "Interesting Children" and read it with their children. While reading, they can guide their children and use their brains with Ikkyu."

"Yes, yes, even parents who are not interested in comics should read them with their children."

"..."

…

There is a parent chat group with more than 1,000 people in total. Most of their children are seven or eight to ten years old.

Parents often share in the group and exchange experiences in raising children, etc.

"Has anyone watched "Smart Ikkyu" today?"

"I know this book is Li Fan's latest comic book. I just bought a copy for my kid at home today, but I didn't read it."

"We don't like comics, so why are we reading them? However, I remember there seem to be some parents in the group who seem to like comics."

""Smart Ikkyu" is quite interesting. I recommend everyone to watch it, especially with your children."

"No? What's the point of that?"

"Hey! You'll know after reading it. Also, if you haven't bought "Fun Children" yet, you should hurry up and buy it. I estimate that this issue of "Fun Children" may be sold out."

"Real or fake? Yes, then I'll buy a copy quickly. It's not expensive anyway."

"..."

This parent chat group is just a microcosm of countless parent chat groups across the country.

Most parent chat groups today also have similar chat content.

also.

"Husband, when you come back, bring a copy of the latest issue of "Interesting Children". I heard that "Smart Ikkyu" in it is very worth reading."

"Old Liu, are you going to buy "Interesting Children"? Bring a copy with me too."

"Xiao Lin, I remember there seems to be a newsstand next to your work. Could you please help me buy a copy of "Funny Children" and bring it back. Yes, yes, the latest issue."

"..."

…

In this way, Li Fan's two new works today, "Young Bao Qingtian", because of the three words "Bao Qingtian", made "Funny Children" gain a large number of new buyers.

As for "Smart Ikkyu", word of mouth spread among young parents, which resulted in a new group of buyers for "Funny Children".

As a result, in one morning, "Fun Children" was sold out at many sales points across the country.
