"Let's compare then!" A colleague nearby was also provoked by her, "If you lose, you have to kowtow to Half-Immortal Xu a hundred tis!"
He refused to believe it. They were all adults, could they really lose to this little brat?
Hah, what a joke!
"Then it's settled. Whoever reneges will be a dog!" Zhouzhou said fiercely, brimming with confidence.
"No problem!" Half-Immortal Xu remained arrogant and disdainful, unaware of what fate awaited his knees.
Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie looked at him with eyes that could freeze the soul, sneering inwardly.
Courting death.
"What are we comparing?" Half-Immortal Xu asked.
"You na it, anything related to taphysics, I can handle it!" Zhouzhou declared boldly, thumping her chest with pride.
Small in stature, but quite the braggart.
Half-Immortal Xu rolled his eyes, utterly unconvinced. He glanced around and pointed to Auntie Wang's stall across from them, "How about this, best of three. We'll tally up whether people visiting her booth will buy clothes."
"Fine."
Zhouzhou casually nodded and began to shake her copper coins.
Seeing this, Half-Immortal Xu sneered disdainfully, putting on airs.
Humph, he wanted to see how long she could keep up the act.
In just a few seconds, Zhouzhou looked at the hexagrams and spoke, "The next ones to co are two sisters, twenty years old."
Quite plausible. Half-Immortal Xu said sarcastically, "I want you to predict if they'll buy clothes."
Ignoring him, Zhouzhou continued, "Of course they will. The clothes are so beautiful, they'll definitely buy so, not just one set. They will spend 565 yuan here."
With both cents and whole numbers.
Half-Immortal Xu shook his head, doing so ntal calculations, muttering, "I guess they won't."
He had observed Auntie Wang's business; it was nothing remarkable, with only a modest inco for the night.
Selling for over three hundred? Dream on.
Auntie Wang didn't quite believe it either. Moreover, she claid they bought over five hundred worth at once, which was unlikely.
With so many stalls selling clothes around here, anyone with over five hundred would surely go to a store instead of coming here.
Zhouzhou didn't say much more, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking confident as if she had everything under control, appearing quite the fortune teller.
The surrounding people heard about their competition and couldn't help but be curious, looking over.
They joked, "Old Xu, you're too harsh. The little girl is so cute; making her kowtow a hundred tis might bash her head in."
Seemingly defending Zhouzhou, but full of mockery.
Clearly, no one believed that such a young child could figure it out.
Zhouzhou sighed, shaking her head with an air of old wisdom.
They were all grown-ups, why were they so impatient? If they waited a little longer before speaking, they wouldn't embarrass themselves like this.
What's the point?
Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng were also waiting on the sidelines to see them eat their words.
Serves them right for not believing in their daughter!
The crowd continued waiting, and after about twenty minutes, two girls walked hand in hand to Auntie Wang's booth and stopped.
"Wow, this dress is beautiful," one of the girls picked up an item, pleasantly surprised.
The other girl nodded, "Indeed, it's very vintage and chic."
"And this one, it's also nice."
The two of them chatted excitedly, comparing the clothes on their bodies.
Since they were outside, it wasn't convenient to try on clothes, so they mostly just compared them visually.
Seeing the two girls, Auntie Wang subconsciously glanced in Zhouzhou's direction.
Indeed, she had hit the mark.
But thinking that two girls coming out to shop wasn't unusual, she didn't think much of it and warmly greeted them.
The two girls obviously liked the clothes here. So styles that looked sowhat old-fashioned in their eyes exuded a retro charm.
Before long, they picked out a bunch of clothes and asked, "Auntie, how much for these?"
Seeing them take so many, Auntie Wang smiled, her face wrinkled, and quoted a price.
Naturally, it was high.
The two girls frowned and began to haggle.
After so back and forth, they finally reached an agreent.
"Just wait a mont, let get a calculator." Auntie Wang smiled and said.
They bought so much that she couldn't calculate it all in her head at once.
She counted item by item, but when she reached the last one, looking at the number that popped up, she was dumbfounded.
The sound of the old-fashioned calculator was particularly loud, and only the familiar chanical female voice was heard saying, "Equals 565 yuan."
It matched exactly what Zhouzhou had calculated!
She couldn't believe it and recalculated it, but the result was the sa.
She stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at Zhouzhou.
The others were also stunned, all dumbfounded.
Even if it was a setup, these prices were negotiated, and Auntie Wang set them. They had been watching her the whole ti, so she didn't have a chance to tamper with them.
So, was this all real???
She actually got it right!
To the slightest detail!
Compared to their shock, Zhouzhou's expression was much calr.
She turned her head to Half-Immortal Xu, swaying her Zhaozhao, "I won."
At these words, Half-Immortal Xu's expression changed slightly, distorted.
He never expected her to actually get it right.
But he thought, it must be a fluke.
Imdiately he said, "Best of three, there are still two rounds. This ti, let's compare how much her total earnings for today are."
How could that be guessed?
If neither of them is correct later, it would be considered a draw, and he wouldn't lose face either.
But Zhouzhou readily agreed, "Okay."
As she spoke, she shook her copper coins and quickly reported a string of numbers: "1125."
Half-Immortal Xu casually blurted out, "I guess 990."
After the scene just now, the people around all looked over.
Waiting to see if Zhouzhou could really get it right this ti.
It wasn't ti to close yet, and Zhouzhou didn't waste ti, continuing to shout.
If there weren't others nearby, several colleagues would have co over to have her calculate and see if she was really accurate.
Who could resist the temptation of a genius calculator?
After a while, Zhouzhou felt hungry and ran to a nearby stall to buy so food.
She was watched the whole ti, not given the slightest chance to communicate with outsiders.
But co to think of it, this little chubby girl could really eat!
After devouring eight bowls, she still went to buy more!
Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie also smiled, a bit helpless.
Alright, all the money earned tonight was spent again.
Setting up the stall without losing money was considered making money.
Zhouzhou didn't care, sitting on the ground and eating with relish. It slled so good that people around couldn't help but salivate and followed her to that restaurant.
When the boss looked over, he couldn't close his mouth from smiling. When Zhouzhou ca to buy again, he deliberately gave her a little more as a thank-you for her "promotion."
After eating and drinking their fill, the crowd on the bridge gradually diminished.
Zhouzhou lay in Ye Lingfeng's arms, dozing off. As it approached midnight, she woke up groggily.
Seeing Auntie Wang starting to close up, she slapped her face hard to wake herself up.
Hearing the movent, Auntie Wang glanced over and knew they had just finished their competition with her. She ca over cooperatively and started to settle the accounts.
This ti, all the colleagues around gathered to watch.
The money was in bits and pieces, so paid with Alipay, so with WeChat, and so with cash.
Auntie Wang counted, and the people around watched closely, striving to avoid any mistakes.
"Equals 1125." The chanical female voice sounded once again.
Everyone was shocked.
Zhouzhou smiled and patted her chubby claws, turning her head to look at Half-Immortal Xu.
"Hurry up and kowtow!"
