However, Chen Baiqi, a pseudo-ancient man, recognized at a glance that the object was a chili pepper - a ripe red chili pepper.

System: The second-grade condiment - red pepper is detected nearby and can be collected.

Unexpectedly, the Batar people found this thing out of nowhere. Nowadays, the only spicy products are wild pepper, garlic and other seasonings. As far as she knows, this "pepper" was imported from America in the late Ming Dynasty.

It was introduced to the Central Plains, but since it appears now, it seems that the Warring States Period in the plane she is in is different from the Warring States Period she knows.

As soon as the red pepper appeared, all ethnic groups on the autumn platform stepped forward and gathered around this small plant to observe it carefully.

Some people lowered their heads to smell the smell and smelled a faint fragrance, so they guessed that it was sweet. Some people thought that the appearance of this thing was very bright, more like the color of melons and fruits, but they were afraid that it was a trap dug for them by the Badar people.

If it must be reversed, I guess it will be bitter.

Some people also guessed it was sour or salty. Anyway, all four flavors were mentioned. The old god of the Bata tribe was there. No matter what they said, there was no reaction. He only asked them to decide the answer and hang up the sign.

yes.

"This thing looks like a fruit and can be eaten. It should not be bitter or salty, but should be sour or sweet." Suan Shu murmured, holding her elbows.

"Xin." Chen Baiqi said.

"What?" Suanshu was stunned, not knowing what she said.

Seeing that he had never heard of "spicy", Chen Bai knew that they must have never eaten spicy food. She could only think about the wording a little so that he could understand it. She said: "This thing is neither sour, sweet, bitter, nor salty, but

It’s the fifth flavor after the four flavors, spicy.”

"What does spicy taste like?" How can you possibly understand what spicy and sweaty spicy food has never tasted?

Chen Baiqi smiled: "When you taste this, your mouth will feel like it's on fire."

If there was no word "spicy" in this era, the only thing they could understand was fire. If she had to find only one word to describe it, it would be like burning the mouth, it would be hot.

"How did you know?" Suan Shu asked suspiciously.

"I happened to eat it by mistake once, so I wrote it down." Chen Baiqi said.

"What's this thing called?"

"Hmm... I don't know either. There is no record in the books and there is no explanation among the people. It seems that it does not grow in the Central Plains. Maybe it is a thing from afar." She really didn't know what peppers were called during the Warring States Period.

Suan Shu saw that what she said was conclusive and not just making up things, so he finally asked her to write the cards.

After a quarter of an hour was up and everyone's answers were hung up on the pole, Bata announced the case.

Sure enough, the answer is - the tongue is on fire.

Naturally, Lone Bamboo was the only one who answered correctly in this round.

Everyone stared at Suan Shu and Chen Baiqi in surprise.

The elder of the Loufan clan asked Suanshu, "How do you know the taste of this thing?"

Suan Shu said: "I happened to eat it once by mistake."

He directly copied Chen Baiqi's answer to deal with it.

The elder of the Loufan clan couldn't tell whether Suan Shu's words were true or false, but it seemed that there was no use in pursuing this at present, so he finally returned in dismay.

Ji Ying, a native of Qin, spoke on behalf of Lin Hu: "Since Lone Bamboo knows the taste of this thing, he should also know its origin, right?"

Although he asked Lone Zhu, his eyes were looking in the direction of Chen Baiqi.

Suan Shu was not polite to the Qin people and said coldly: "Since it is said to be eaten by mistake, how can we know its origin? If you just bite a root grass, do you still want to check its eight generations of ancestors?"

Ji Ying was choked back by Suan Shu Doutou Doumian. The happy smile on his face did not change, but his eyes were filled with gloom for a moment.

"It's true that Yingwen's words are too reckless. But Lone Zhu doesn't know. I wonder if the young man next to you recognizes him?"

Suan Shu said with a gloomy face: "You have no right to speak here, and no one is willing to listen to your nonsense, so get out of here!"

Ji Ying looked at Suan Shu quietly.

At this time, the leader of the Linhu clan spoke angrily: "Junior Suanshu, why are you talking? Do you not take us, Linhu, in your eyes?"

Suan Shu turned away coldly and ignored him.

When the Loufan tribe saw a fight between the two sides, he also came to add fuel to the fire: "How great are you Lin Hu? Everyone has to take you seriously? You're not so old that you can't move your mouth. What the hell?"

Why don't you tell a foreigner about everything? Don't you know that this boy Suan Shu hates these foreigners the most?"

"You - you old guy, it's just..."

"It's Ying's fault..." Ji Ying was about to speak, but Chen Baiqi interrupted him and said, "Young patriarch, talents come from harmony. There is no need to get angry. You have forgotten what I said before."

Suan Shu thought about the word "ignore" and nodded, but then she remembered the "courtesy" mentioned by Chen Baiqi. It was strange that he didn't care about other people's words and ignored them, but her words, even in his heart,

I don’t agree with it, but I will keep it in my mind.

He bowed his hands to the clan elder upstairs and said, "Thank you."

The clan elder on the floor was stunned. He didn't expect this arrogant boy to suddenly thank him. He touched his beard and smiled: "You are much more interesting than before, hahahaha..."

Suan Shu turned her face away and ignored him.

The relationship between these four tribes is actually quite subtle. They are both enemies and allies. Lou Fan and the Bata tribe have never dealt with each other, and there is not much of a grudge against Gu Zhu. If they can form a good relationship, it is not a bad thing.

After thinking about this, Suan Shu suddenly felt that this "ritual" might be quite useful sometimes.

Next, everyone began to pay attention to the riddles again.

But Chen Baiqi knew that Ji Ying was definitely a fool on the label, and he was silently forbearing for now, but if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely retaliate for what happened today.

If you offend such an opponent, Suan Shu will probably not have an easy life in the future.

Ba Ta only scored two points in this game, and neither Lin Hu nor Lou Fan scored.

The next thing the Bata tribe did was to guess the characters. This task of guessing was not difficult for Ji Ying. Basically, this Qin man guessed the characters with 100% accuracy, and Chen Baiqi was not far behind.

Therefore, after the puzzle was solved, the final score of the Bata clan was that Guzhu had a total score of six points, Lin Hu had a total score of five points, Bata had a total score of five points, and Lou Fan had a total score of three points.

Arranged in order, it is Guzhu’s turn to pose the question

First of all, Suan Shu found out the first puzzle, which was guessing words. Naturally, Suan Shu did not think of these puzzles. Most of them were created by people from Chu who knew how to read and write. People in the south were more literate in word splitting. As far as Chen Baiqi knew,

, since Qu Yuan, poets, writers, and painters have mostly appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. The talents from the south of the Yangtze River are famous all over the world. However, due to the relationship between the northern region and the surrounding Hu people, it is difficult to find a literate person here, let alone

She said she wanted to find someone who knew how to guess riddles, so she thought that even if Suan Shu could find one, his level would not be too high.

Sure enough, his first puzzle was basically answered correctly.

He lost everything in the first game. Suan Shu, who was arrogant and arrogant, had a dark face. The people under him were raising their arms and cheering. But just when he was about to read the second puzzle, his hand stopped.

one time.

He pursed his lips and stared at the air with his eyes, seemingly thinking for a long time before turning his head to look at Chen Baiqi. At this moment, his eyes flashed with oppression and tension.

"It's up to you to solve the next two puzzles," he said.

Chen Bai raised his eyelashes and flickered to meet his gaze.

Suan Shu let go of the puzzle, and as she passed by, she whispered in her ear: "You must win this game!"

If he loses all the scoring questions in these three games, or loses more than half, then it will be Lin Hu's turn, who has been the most powerful "puzzle" player in the past years, and they, Guzhu, may lose the whole game.

Chen Baiqi glanced at Sisi who was staring at her in the audience, and couldn't refuse. She stepped forward and opened the riddle he had set. It was just a very simple riddle. She sighed softly.

When it comes to guessing riddles, she has as many as they want here, complex ones, simple ones, reasoning ones, guessing words, guessing objects, all kinds of things, it is not difficult to stump them, but... she

Do you want to help him win?

System: (Side mission) - You are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han, help Guzhu Suanshu (Lin Hu, Lou Fan, Ba Ta) win the guessing game. Accept/reject? (This mission can choose any four tribes as targets.

Accept the mission.)

This mission is very selective. She can choose a mission to help any clan to obtain a separate hunting and nomadic territory in the coming year.

She lowered her gaze for a moment, then raised it again, and read aloud: "Looking at the seventh floor of the towering tower, the red lights are multiplying. There are a total of three hundred and eighty-one lights. How many lights are there on each floor?" What riddle is this? Everyone

I am completely confused by this new guessing carrier.

"Is this guessing words?"

Chen Baiqi nodded: "It's not about guessing words, it's about guessing the number of lights on each floor."

Ji Ying, a native of Qin, was a little wary when Chen Baiqi read out the riddle. Now after hearing the riddle she asked, he calmed down and slowly began to understand the question.

What?!

Guessing riddles, do you have to guess the number?

The Loufan and Bata people have never been exposed to this knowledge. They don't even know the words, let alone arithmetic.

Ji Ying, on the other hand, was trained in arithmetic. He didn't have enough mental arithmetic, so he took a pen and did the calculations, but it took time.

First, he had to understand the meaning of Chen Baiqi's puzzle.

Chen Baiqi waited for them quietly.

After Suan Shu heard Chen Baiqi's "self-created" puzzle, he also calculated it, but he didn't understand arithmetic at all and didn't even understand the question.

Chen Baiqi's puzzle was actually just prepared for Ji Ying. She wanted to test his skills.

This Jiying is calculating quickly.

While they were all calculating with constipation on their faces, Chen Baiqi took another bamboo slip and wrote down the puzzle, then turned it over and slowly wrote down the answer.

Using the linear equation of one variable, we can get the answers, which are 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192.

Of course, with modern equation calculations, this question is not difficult, but Ji Ying is neither a mathematical genius nor does he understand any formulas, so he can only do calculations.

He used it for a relatively long time. Basically, more than half of the time passed, and he only calculated one level.

But he did not give up and continued to count. After the time was up, he came up with the answer to the top and fourth floors.

Just because the number of lamps in the Seven Towers was not correct, he still lost.

Chen Baiqi's new puzzle caught everyone off guard. In this era of algorithms that don't even have 11=2 or multiplication tables, Chen Baiqi simply used his high IQ to crush everyone.
