Facing the cold reality, Yun'er watched people coming and going in front of the stall, all kinds of people walking in a hurry, with no intention of stopping.
The little maid looked at Shen Lie longingly and soon became listless.
too difficult……
After all, it’s not easy for people to make a living these days.
Ordinary people are running around every day, and it is very difficult to maintain three meals a day. Who has the spare time and money to play tricks?
Gradually, Yun'er felt a little guilty when she looked at the pedestrians who didn't want to stay.
So Yun'er stretched out her small white hand, tugged on Shen Lie's sleeve, and said softly: "Master, how about... let's go."
Just standing there and yelling, being watched by passers-by and even neighbors, they looked like two fools.
But Shen Lie turned around, bowed his head to her bright ears, and laughed softly: "Don't worry, just watch."
Shen Lie's trap-making stall is not a random one, and the prizes he prepared are very knowledgeable...
Sure enough, the opportunity came not long after.
Seeing a rich middle-aged man wearing fine silk clothes and a naughty boy of seven or eight years old walking out of Zuixianju not far away.
Shen Lie's eyes lit up, and he roared again: "Take a look, take a look... a fun little trap trick."
Just this voice attracted the attention of the father and son.
Two feet away, the seven or eight-year-old boy looked at Shen Lie curiously, and then at the cute big-headed doll, Maitreya Buddha, kittens, and puppies on the stall...
The boy couldn't walk anymore, biting his fingers and clamoring to come over and join in the fun.
"Daddy, daddy!"
The rich middle-aged man was a little displeased and scolded him a few times, but he couldn't stop the boy from crying, acting out, and rolling around on the floor.
So the rich man felt helpless, so he just picked up the boy and walked over. As he walked, he said loudly and helplessly: "What are the rules here?"
Shen Lie's face turned into a smile and he said hurriedly: "Hey, sir, please, I'll try to trap a big money twice. If you win, you can take it away."
At this time, the naughty boy was already smiling and clamoring to play.
"Daddy, daddy!"
Seeing his excited and expectant son, the wealthy man had no choice but to take out his money bag from his arms, count ten large coins and hand them over.
Then he took the wicker circle from Shen Lie and gave it to his precious son.
Shen Lie hurriedly greeted again: "Please!"
Turning around and handing ten big coins to Yun'er, Shen Lie stood aside and watched with a smile, feeling relieved. This was his first business venture in Ming Dynasty.
Opened!
Not long after, I saw the seven or eight-year-old boy standing two meters away, holding a wicker ring with thick cuffs in his hand and throwing it around.
No matter how strong a child can be, most of them will miss the mark.
In the end, the blind cat encountered a dead mouse, and the little naughty boy caught a Maitreya Buddha. The naughty boy hugged his old father's arm excitedly and jumped up and down.
The laughter of naughty children rang out.
In laughter.
Shen Lie also clapped his hands, clapped with a smile, and said a few compliments: "Sir, this child of yours... is so happy!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
After Shen Lie's compliments, the middle-aged businessman had no choice but to clasp his fists, say a few words of humility, and then looked at his naughty son with a look of helplessness on his face.
then.
The originally deserted stall suddenly became lively.
The children's laughter attracted many pedestrians, most of whom brought their children to join in the fun, and were pointed at by the onlookers.
Yun'er held ten cents in her delicate white hands, and everyone watching was dumbfounded, her elegant eyes rolled...
She looked at the goods arranged and seemed to understand something. Aren't these exquisite gadgets just for coaxing children?
It's really easy for children to make money.
See through, don’t tell.
Yun'er quickly put the coins into her purse carefully, looked at Shen Lie with innocent and innocent eyes, and whispered in her heart.
"Master...when did you become so smart?"
but.
As each copper coin was handed over, the corners of Yun'er's fair and tender mouth slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.
She likes this young master very much.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the first one, the second one soon followed. When the middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper took away the crying boy.
The child's crying was the best advertisement. At this time, many children had already surrounded the stall, looking at the adults eagerly...
The adult had no choice but to take out coins one by one from his wallet and hand them over.
So not long after, Shen Lie's ring trap stall quickly became popular, and onlookers were quickly attracted by this novel game.
Naughty boys and young men came forward one after another to try, and eventually even a few playful women couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and try their skills.
"Oops, it's a little off again!"
"Only a little, just a little!"
Sighing and laughing.
While Shen Lie was collecting the money, he would run over and pick up the hoop from time to time, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a proud smile.
The excitement at the stalls continued into the evening, and lanterns were lit on both sides of the street, making Yun'er's pretty little face blush.
It wasn't until there were no more pedestrians on the street that Shen Lie put away his things and showed a proud smile to Yun'er: "Let's go to the hotel!"
His attempt was successful, and he could stay at the inn with confidence this time.
Yun'er hugged the money bag tightly, smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah!"
That charming and innocent expression seemed to say no more.
The young master is mighty!
At night, inn.
Shen Lie spent thirty cash to rent a room, finally no longer having to sleep on the street. He quickly ordered two bowls of soup and rice and a side dish, and Yun'er and he had a delicious meal.
Eat enough, drink enough.
The master and servant then closed the door, bolted the door, took out the money bag, and poured out the copper coins stuffed inside.
The oil lamp in the guest room was swaying, and the yellow copper coins rolled down on the bed, which made Yun'er smile. Then the two of them met and counted today's profits.
"one two three……"
Yun'er used her dexterous hands to string the copper coins on the hemp rope, with a blush on her face, while Shen Lie counted the coins excitedly.
The two quickly counted the numbers.
Shen Lie smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and said excitedly: "The total is two hundred and eighty yuan!"
This number shocked Yun'er. The little maid covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Shen Lie in disbelief. Counting from noon...
In just half a day, the two made so much money.
Moreover, the cost of this stall is almost negligible, and there are still a lot of crudely made porcelain dolls, big-bellied Maitreya Buddhas, etc.
The silver bean weighing one penny was still in good condition and had not been taken away by anyone.
The two looked at each other.
They looked at each other for a long time.
There was a thrilling look in his eyes.
Yun'er smiled brightly, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and said excitedly: "If this is the case, it will only take two or three months..."
Wouldn't it mean that even the young master's ancestral home can be redeemed?
Is it okay to keep going like this?
She seemed to see the hope of getting rich and becoming well-off.
Shen Lie gently scratched her straight little nose, smiled slightly, and said softly: "That's not how the accounts are settled."
