Xiao Liu raised his hand to answer, "Gai Bang!"

"Hahaha—" Everyone burst into laughter, "You're all dressed so well, you don't look like beggars at all!"

At that moment, Yu held up the candied hawthorn to Xiao Liu's mouth.

Erwa was unhappy and explained, "It's not the 'gai' in 'beggar,' but the 'gai' in 'hero of the world!'"

"Pfft... What an adorable child..." Several ladies from the buildings on the street were also looking down, and when they heard Erwa's crisp voice, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hahaha, Gai Bang, it's Gai as in 'Peerless Hero'! Hahaha!"

"Hey, their clothes say 'Yun Family Cloth Shop' on the back... Is that the Yun Family Cloth Shop that changed hands from the Liu family?"

"Wow wow wow... I want to go to the Yun family's cloth shop to have clothes made! I'll make all my brats wear them!"

"If everyone wore the same clothes, wow, that would be incredibly cute!"

"So cute! So stylish!"

More and more people gathered to watch, all discussing it enthusiastically and watching with great interest.

Xiao Youran didn't care about any of that. After everyone had received their share, she raised her hand and counted "three, two, one" to start.

A group of toddlers were seen puffing out their cheeks, slowly chewing the candied hawthorns, and then swallowing them.

Yun Tiankuang and Jiang Youchen didn't want to play this game at first, but looking into Xiao Youran's clear eyes, they exchanged glances, opened their mouths, and began to eat the candied hawthorns with gusto!

Watching them enjoy their candied hawthorns, the mouths of the onlookers couldn't help but water. Several children, led by adults, couldn't resist any longer and ran to the candied hawthorn stall to patronize the owner's business.

When the shop owner saw that this guy, Gaibang, was performing eating candied hawthorns next to his stall and actually bringing him business, he was overjoyed.

The first thing to finish eating was actually a stone.

Xiao Youran pulled out a small red flower sticker from her sleeve, and stuck it on Shi Tou's chest. Then she clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! You got a point!"

The little red flower was actually a symbol of winning! The stone, which had been a little unhappy about getting the red flower, immediately straightened its head and puffed out its chest, like a victorious rooster, and was overjoyed.

The onlookers laughed so hard they were doubled over, exclaiming, "Where did these little babies come from? They're so cute!"

Just then, the candied hawthorn vendor sold out of all his candied hawthorns and happily stuffed two copper coins into Xiao Youran's hand, saying, "You've brought me so much business, this is to thank you!"

Xiao Youran stared blankly at the two copper coins in her hand.

Uh, why does this feel like I'm getting tips during a live stream?

It turns out that tipping has a long history in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

As a result, the candied hawthorn vendor's action immediately opened a new door to the worldview of the onlookers.

Someone took the lead, pulled out copper coins and silver fragments from their sleeves, and threw them into the open space in the middle of the circle formed by the eight little girls.

The other onlookers immediately realized what was going on and took out their copper coins and silver coins.

Yu and Dashan were sweating profusely as they explained to the people, "No, no, no, they are not from any gang, nor are they beggars. They are just friends who came out to play together."

The onlookers didn't care about any of that. They were just there to watch the excitement on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they'd tip whoever provided the most fun!

Aren't all the monkey trainers and street performers on the other side of the bridge like that?

A lady chuckled and tossed a piece of silver into the middle before saying, "We're just having some fun, so isn't it only fair that we give you some silver as a reward?"

A servant came over and tossed over a piece of silver, saying with a grin, "It's a reward from our master. We're happy to see it, so please accept it."

When the chaos gradually subsided, the little ones were already squatting on the ground, looking at the copper coins and broken silver scattered all over the ground in front of them, lost in thought.

Xiao Youran was thinking: Is her gang going to become famous? Can she start a live stream and ask for tips to make money?

Xiao Liu was thinking: How many candied hawthorns can I exchange these copper coins for?

Erwa wondered: Are those silver grains silver?

Xiaoshan thought to himself: Wow, so much money! I've never seen so much money before!

Stone was thinking: Could it be that the gang leader has come to help us make money today?

Xiao Wu was thinking: They only ate a candied hawthorn, so how could they get so many tips?

Only Jiang Youchen and Yun Tiankuang had dark faces, clearly not liking the feeling of being rewarded.

Mrs. Yu was extremely anxious. She had brought a group of children out for a stroll, but how could she have been treated like a monkey and given a tip after only eating a candied hawthorn?

Da Shan was shocked. "Aunt Tian Kuang, you only spent twelve coins to buy two strings of candied hawthorns, right? And you've earned this much money?"

After thinking for a moment, Yu replied with difficulty, "Actually, it was only ten coins, and the shopkeeper even gave Xiaoyou Ran two coins back."

Da Shan asked, "Shall we collect the money on the ground and continue on our way?"

Ms. Yu was somewhat conflicted, "Can I really refuse this money?"

Being watched and tipped by others felt somewhat insulting, and she didn't want the money.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Erwa, Xiaoshan, and Shitou rushed over in surprise, "Aunt Tiankuang, if you don't want it, give it to us!"

Is there really someone in this world who doesn't want money?

They were truly amazed.

Only then did Ms. Yu realize that the money wasn't hers; it was all the children who had done the work.

She quickly turned to Xiao Youran for help, "You're the leader, you make the decision!"

Xiao Youran chuckled, "Keep all this money safe for now, we'll split it evenly later!"

What? What?

Divide equally?

The group of people were stunned. Had they heard correctly?

They'll get a share of the money too?

Who are they? Why are they here? What did they just do?

It's just a candied hawthorn.

Xiao Shan was the first to react, jumping happily to Da Shan's side and hugging his father tightly. "Hahaha, Daddy! I can earn money too!"

Da Shan was also somewhat taken aback and hadn't quite come to his senses.

Why is it so strange that this money came from?

Nan Zhuo and Wen Yuanbai, who were behind them, were also stunned.

Is this even possible?

Wen Yuanbai then picked up a blanket that was covering his knees and handed it to Nan Zhuo.

Today, Nan Zhuo was worried that the young master would be cold, so he specially covered his knees with two blankets, which unexpectedly came in handy.

Nan Zhuo silently handed the blanket to Da Shan.

After recovering from his shock, Dashan silently took the blanket and spread it on the ground. Then, several small hands scooped up all the copper coins and silver scraps on the ground.

Yun Tiankuang and Jiang Youchen were speechless.

After tidying up, the group of little kids continued their noisy adventure down the street.

A dozen or so people followed them reluctantly.
