Chapter 92 Brainbreaker (and others)

When Zhaoqing talked about the amount of money, it was always difficult for people to understand.For example, when he mentioned the fare price, the conductor was indifferent.When he discovered this, he changed his name to "triangle". Three, which became "nan" in his mouth.There are similar words: plus (1), field (2), wind (4), soup (5), roll (6), grass (7) and so on, I can't remember them all.These words are not completely common in places other than Maqiao. For example, on the side of Shuanglonggong and Luojiang, the word for "four" may be "ge", "xi", or "old". Luo family".

Chinese numerals may be the most abundant and strange.

Numerals became one of the most obstinate resistances to social integration.

In Maqiao, the largest number, or "many, many", is represented by the word "broken brain".Ancestors may feel that the capacity for response is limited, and if there are too many things to think about, the brain will explode. For example, elementary school students say that the teacher assigns too much homework, and often grit their teeth bitterly: "Brain-breaking homework!"
