MTL - Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road-Chapter 6 Which one is stronger

  Chapter 6: Which one is stronger?

  The cashier made several wrong calculations in a row. Some customers were still arguing with the cashier. The residents of the town were even more worried. The customers who had already settled the bill had to check it again by themselves.

   In this situation, everyone was a little anxious, and many people gathered in front of the checkout counter. If you don't buy it, just go. It's not easy to come out. From a rural town in the United States, when you come to the supermarket to buy things, you basically drive here to buy daily necessities for a week. If you don't buy it and go home straight away, it's a waste of time. Continue to line up to pay, and don't know when it will be your turn.

   Nurse Mandy from the clinic in the town was also queuing up to pay the bill. She saw Lu Fei and came over to say hello. They are all old aborigines in the town, and everyone is familiar with them, not to mention that the two will work together in the future. Mandy enthusiastically asked about Lu Fei's situation.

  Lu Fei said with a smile: "Tomorrow I'll come to the clinic to report. I just came back today, and I'm stuck here to buy some daily necessities."

   "By the way, you are of Chinese descent. I heard that you Chinese people are good at mathematics, right? You are a college student and went to medical school. You must be very good at mathematics."

   "It's alright, the mental arithmetic ability is really good, mainly because my mother asked me to do a lot of questions when I was a child, and I was trained."

  Mandy said happily: "Then what are you waiting for, please help everyone, I'm in a hurry to go home, the kids at home are waiting for me to go back and cook."

   "That's not very good, take the initiative to help, will the people in the supermarket think I'm a little busy?" Lu Fei asked suspiciously.

   "You Huaxia people are too modest and low-key, and you are all from the villages. Who would taboo this." Mandy said.

  Lu Fei said: "That's fine, if everyone has no opinion, I'll give it a try." I thought to myself, an outstanding Chinese teenager who has received 9 years of compulsory education, still afraid of quick calculation? Is this the basic skill? Besides, my IQ is already 180. Am I proud? .

  Mandy walked to the cashier and shouted loudly: "Dude, don't make any noise, I'm Mandy, the nurse in the clinic, listen to me."

  Most people heard it and gradually became quiet.

"Guys, this handsome young man is Jack, the son of Sally, the owner of the ranch by the lake in the north of the town. He is the newly hired clinic doctor in the town. Chinese people are good at math. Let him help everyone check out." Di pointed to Lu Feidao beside him.

   "I know Jack, I heard that he is a doctor, let's try it."

   "David and I complimented him, Jack is smart, agree."

   "Don't worry about it so much, come and help, no matter how bad it is."

  Everyone said in a row. Western cowboys respect knowledgeable people and have heard that Chinese people are very good at mathematics.

Lu Fei walked to the cashier with a smile, and the cashier and the customer said loudly: "I'm Jack, I hope I can help everyone, please tell the cashier Molly the prices of everyone's goods one by one, I will calculate the price, and then Ask the cashier Jesse to collect the money and find the money. The uncles and aunts who have paid the money will push the shopping cart aside and review it for themselves. If there is any problem, I will calculate it again, and leave if there is no problem. "

"Ok, let's do it like this, young people just have fast brains", "Don't be mad, hurry up", "Come on", everyone said in a mess, and many people still had smiles on their faces, thinking they could see a good show , interesting.

   "The first one, 1.99, 3.59, 4, 5.6, 15, 1.29, 7.99, finished." Molly reported the unit price of the product.

   "Total 39.46" Lu Fei instantly quoted the total price.

   "I charged you 40, how much did you get?" Jessie rubbed her forehead embarrassedly.

   "Look for 0.54 yuan." Lu Fei spoke up.

  Old John was the first to pay, pushed the shopping cart to the side, picked up the calculator on the table and started to calculate slowly.

   "Wow, it's so fast, it's amazing", "I just don't know if it's right", everyone was talking excitedly.

   "Next." Molly shouted happily.

   A follow-up middle-aged woman hurriedly pushed the shopping cart over.

   "Ten items with a unit price of 2.99, 3.99, 6.3, 8.99, 19.99, 1.29, 26.99, 13.99, 33, 5.49, 16.99, 1.39, finished." Molly finished the count.

   "A total of 136.92 yuan, the total price is more than 100 US dollars, 5% off, in total, a total of 130.074 yuan, rounded up to a total of 130.07 yuan."

   "Wow, this is also possible, amazing", everyone's faces couldn't help but get excited. I felt the atmosphere of being a live audience in the World Mathematical Olympiad.

  The old John over there also roared, "It's been calculated, the price is right, Jack is amazing."

   The middle-aged woman smiled and paid the whole number 130 and counted 7 cents to Jesse. Without reviewing, he stepped aside and watched the fun with a smile.

   This time, the atmosphere became more lively, and everyone lined up to keep up.

   "next", "3.99, 2.58, 9.99...."

   "206.5, 5% off, the total after discount is 196.175, and you need to pay 196.18 yuan after rounding up. Jesse, the guest pays 200, and finds 3.82 yuan."

   "Next", 15 seconds later: "78.23, pay 80, Jesse is looking for 1.77 yuan."

   "Next", 20 seconds later: "156.8, 5% off, total 148.96, pay 150, Jesse finds 1.04 yuan."

   "Next", 23 seconds later: "233.5, 5% off, total 221.825, rounded up, pay 221.83, pay 230, Jesse is looking for 8.17 yuan."

  …A lot of calculation processes are omitted above…

The residents who settled the bills did not leave, they were all watching the live math show. They were alone for about 20 seconds, and the 30 people who had accumulated were swept away in 10 minutes. Even Lu Fei’s own shopping cart was calculated, and he paid 330 yuan. dollars.

   Seeing that there were no more customers, and the new shoppers hadn't come to pay, Lu Fei smiled and said to Molly and Jessie, "The backlog of customers has been counted, so I'll go back first."

   turned around and said loudly to the melon eaters onlookers: "Dear uncles and aunties, have you reviewed it? Is there a miscalculation?"

   "I've done the math, and it's not bad at all, well done, lad."

   "I didn't count it. If you add up to 10 things, you have to count the discount. It's too difficult, but I believe you."

   "Yeah, I forget it too, it's totally good, it's amazing."

   I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and everyone's warm applause sounded one after another, gradually converging.

   "It's nothing to do with such a trivial matter. It's good to help everyone. I just returned to the town today and will be on duty at the clinic tomorrow. I hope I can serve the villagers in the town well." Lu Fei smiled and waved to the four sides. "

  Molly and Jesse both came to thank her. If they miscalculated and found more money today, they would have to post it backwards.

  Everyone smiled and gradually dispersed, and they all felt that today’s trip was worthwhile, and there was more talk about the peaceful life. Mandy also smiled at Lu Fei and waved goodbye.

  Lu Fei pushed the shopping cart out of the supermarket, put the large and small bags of his purchases on the pickup, and drove home.

  I went home in 5 minutes. It was almost 5 o'clock at this time. Sally was preparing dinner. Lu Fei put the milk, beef, eggs, orange juice, tomatoes, broccoli and other foods that Sally ordered to buy into the refrigerator.

   "Son, come and come, sit at the table, I have something to tell you. David, come over here too." Sally said.

   "It's time to talk, otherwise it's too late to arrange family affairs." David muttered.

  Lu Fei sat at the table and looked at his mother and David suspiciously.

Sally said hesitantly: "This, this, actually, David and I haven't traveled for a long time. We booked a flight to Europe. We will spend about a month in Europe and leave tomorrow. As soon as you come back, we will leave. You won't be unhappy."

  Lu Fei asked strangely: "Didn't you guys just go to Southeast Asia two months ago to play around?"

Sally said unnaturally on her face: "You don't care where Mommy goes to play, I just want to walk with David and see the distant scenery. Anyway, the ranch is on the right track, and the ranch manager Richard Take care of everything for us, don't worry." After finishing speaking, he looked at David and motioned for David to speak.

"Don't look at me, I can be anywhere. It's all your idea, and your mother is also on a whim. Two days ago, she suddenly said she was going to Europe, and she booked a flight ticket overnight in a hurry. If it wasn't for seeing you, Maybe it will fly that night." David quickly dumped the pot. He also felt that it was a bit too much for the two of them to go out to play as soon as Jack came back.

  Lu Fei said with a smile: "Mom, you can go wherever you want! I just think it's a little strange. I've been studying and working alone for so long, and I'm totally fine with my life."

   "Okay, okay, Mom just suddenly wanted to go to Europe, to see Lisa, my best friend from the rotten country. Come, come, let's have dinner, David, come and help with the dinner." A murderous look flashed in Sally's eyes.

   "Ah, you screwed me again, you want dialogue, not violence." David was dragged by a lady to the kitchen for a repair.

   "Oh, David, you've worked hard." Lu Fei shook his head and sighed.

  After dinner, the couple explained important matters such as house keys, car keys, usage of electrical appliances, safe keys and passwords one by one.

   "We will fly directly from Reno Airport to London tomorrow afternoon. You go to the clinic for work, we will go by ourselves." Sally said.

   "OK, you all go to rest early. If you have something to do abroad, call me." Lu Fei shook his phone.

   "Okay, you go to your room to clean up and rest early."

  Sally and David got up after talking, and the two went up to the third floor to do their own work. Lu Fei shook his head, carried his luggage, went up to the second floor by himself, and went into the room to clean up a little. Put the clothes you brought home and the underwear you bought in the supermarket together in the closet. I put the money my mother gave me on the bedside table.

   After Lu Fei washed up and went to bed, he lay down on the bed. Looking up at the ceiling, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He clearly understood the character of his mother, Sally. She was not so impulsive. What made her so anxious to go to Europe? Forget it, the mother can't help the child. Seeing that the mental state of David and his mother is normal, there should be no big deal. Let her toss it.

   I still continue my training plan. Yesterday, I saw the latest cases and surgical procedures from half of the countries. I will continue today. The flying knife has just hit the target, and I still need to practice.

   closed his eyes and entered the training hall.
