Zhou Wulang and the others also thought Manbao was very impressive and asked, "Manbao, how did you figure that out?"

Zhou Liulang said embarrassingly, "I have been calculating for a long time and couldn't figure it out."

Daya testified for him, "Sixth Uncle started calculating when we had four or five baskets left, and by the time we finished wrapping them up, he still hadn't figured it out."

Manbao explained while counting on her fingers, "It's very simple, there are twenty-four baskets in total, and each costs five coins, so twenty baskets are exactly one hundred coins, two baskets are ten coins, and four are twenty coins, so one hundred plus twenty coins is one hundred and twenty coins, right?"

The four Wulang's eyes sparkled as they counted on their fingers for a long time without understanding, "Why are twenty baskets one hundred coins?"

Manbao said as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Because ten baskets are fifty coins."
