Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 229
After Li Hong learned that William Gardner had created the Eye of the True Spirit, he became more and more optimistic about this person. In the next few days, Li Hong often gave William Gardner a small lesson to help him make the steam engine as soon as possible.

Other blacksmiths and alchemists also had their own ideas and put them into action. They set off the first industrial revolution in Liberty City.

It's just that these people's knowledge is too shallow, and the progress of the industrial revolution is very slow. Li Hong wanted to speed up the progress, so after discussing with Guo Lin, he designed a special class in the Liberty Academy to teach blacksmiths and alchemists Physics, chemistry, and some simple math operations.

Alchemists are very interested in chemistry, because their alchemy incorporates some chemical knowledge intentionally or unintentionally. When Li Hong teaches them, these alchemists always combine the knowledge of chemistry with alchemy. When they woke up, some problems they didn't understand before were quickly solved, which invisibly improved their alchemy, which made alchemists more and more interested in chemistry.

On the other hand, the blacksmiths are more interested in physics, but most of them are uneducated, and it is a bit difficult to understand physics. Li Hong is not in a hurry, and starts from the simplest things to help them understand. physics.

As for mathematics, blacksmiths and alchemists were not interested. Li Hong had no choice but to force them to memorize the nine-nine multiplication table.

But what Li Hong didn't expect was that the things he took out for the blacksmiths and alchemists to recite actually set off a huge storm in Liberty City.

The thing is, one of Li Hong's alchemist students is named Xu Liang, and his wife happens to be a mathematics teacher at Liberty Academy.

Usually Xu Liang looks down on his wife's work. After all, in this world where force is paramount, teachers who teach mathematics always feel inferior to those who teach magic, meditation, and actual combat.

But his wife loves this job very much, and always firmly believes that mathematics is the greatest subject in the world.

Xu Liang scoffed at his wife's thoughts, but he didn't dare to talk about his wife publicly at home. You must know that his wife is a level 7 swordsman, and he is only a level 6 magician.

Two days ago, Li Hong took out the nine-nine multiplication table and forced the blacksmiths and alchemists to memorize it within 24 hours, otherwise they would be kicked out of the classroom.

During this time, the blacksmiths and alchemists learned a lot from Li Hong, and no one wanted to leave, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and memorize it.

But apart from Xu Liang's special talent in alchemy, everything else happened slowly. He couldn't memorize it for a whole day, so Xu Liang had no choice but to take the nine-nine multiplication table back to his home and work overtime at night. .

As a result, when he was reciting, Xu Liang's wife noticed the multiplication table. After some inquiries, Xu Liang's wife excitedly said to Xu Liang: "Xu Liang, do you know? The thing you recited has an epoch-making significance." If it can be popularized, the next generation of mathematics in Liberty College will have a qualitative improvement."

Xu Liang didn't believe his wife's words at all, and casually said: "Yes, Chrissy, you are right, how much is three nine three nine three nine?"

"Three Nine 27, I heard you memorize it all by heart, why are you so stupid?"

Xu Liang said with a bitter face: "Chris, you know, I'm not very smart, I really can't remember!"

"Why did I marry such an idiot as you, okay, okay, I'll carry it with you."

Xu Liang’s family had a sleepless night, and the couple with dark circles under their eyes came to Liberty College together the next day, but what made Xu Liang feel strange was that his wife would usually separate from him as soon as he arrived at the gate of the college, but today she followed him all the time came to their classroom.

"Yo! Xu Liang, why did you bring your daughter-in-law here today?" Old Chen, a blacksmith who usually has a good relationship with Xu Jiang, came over and said jokingly as soon as he entered the classroom.

"I don't know what happened to her today, she doesn't usually come here." Xu Liang glanced at Chris at the door and said strangely.

"Maybe there is something wrong? Do you want to ask?"

"Farewell, old Chen, my wife is a level 7 swordsman, you better stop looking for a level 5 scum."

"What are you talking about? Your daughter-in-law has level 7? Isn't your position in the family embarrassing?"

"Who said so! I have the final say on everything at home. If I tell her to go east, she will never dare to go west. Be as good as a little sheep?"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true."

"Ahem, brother and sister, you heard it. He said it himself, but I didn't say anything." Old Chen slightly turned sideways behind Xu Liang and said.

Xu Liang's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he quickly turned his head and explained in a panic: "Old... Wife, don't listen to his nonsense, I... this and that, I just said it casually. Huh? Damn, old Chen, you frame me!"

"Haha, didn't you just say that you have the final say on the family affairs? This person hasn't come here yet! Are you cowardly?"

Chris, standing at the door, is a level 7 swordsman, and her mental power and hearing are stronger than the two. Chris has heard their conversations for a long time. A smile said: "Xu Liang is not talking nonsense, he is indeed in charge of major family affairs, and I usually listen to him."

Old Chen shrank his neck when he heard this, feeling that everyone heard what he said just now.

And Xu Liang was so moved that he was about to cry. He didn't expect that his wife, who was always steadfast at home, would defend herself in public.

However, before Xu Liang was moved for a few seconds, he heard a female voice behind his wife: "Madam, I don't know what is a big deal at home, and what is a little thing?"

Chris was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Well, like buying a house, buying magic props and weapons is considered a big deal, and ordinary food, rice, oil and salt are naturally trivial things."

"Then madam, do things like buying a house, buying magic props and weapons happen often?"

"How...how is it possible, among other things, the housing prices in Liberty City are so expensive, and the two of us still owe a large amount of money for our current residence! How can we afford to buy a new one."

"Oh~~ Then I understand, Madam said just now that your husband has the final say on all major matters in the family. It should be true. But generally there are no major matters in the family, they are all trivial matters. Then I mean, you are the one who has the final say in the family!"

Chris didn't refute the words, so she acquiesced, and the woman behind her who asked the question laughed when she saw this: "Haha! Ma'am, you are really honest."

　I felt uncomfortable for a whole day, and I didn’t feel better until evening. The hospital said I would stay in the hospital for observation for 2 days. I learned a lesson from the blood, and I will never dare to eat indiscriminately again.
