Chapter 194: Buying and Selling Game
Before the Chinese New Year, Manbao had saved some money by cooperating with his fifth brother to sell candy in the county town. Although it was not much, it was all copper coins.
Adding the lucky money he got during the Chinese New Year, although he cannot crush his two friends in terms of wealth, he can crush them in terms of weight and quantity.
When she opened it, she found that except for five beautifully decorated gold ingots, the rest were copper coins.
Not to mention, it's quite shocking to see seven or eight hundred copper coins piled up together.
In comparison, Bai Erlang's money box seemed a little small, but in addition to a limited number of copper coins, his box contained more silver bars, silver ingots and gold ingots.
But Bai Erlang was not stupid. He looked at his money box, then at Manbao's money box, and without counting, he said directly: "I have more money than you."
Then they both looked at Bai Shanbao.
Bai Shanbao looked at them proudly before opening his money box.
Although his New Year's money was not as much as Bai Erlang's, he saved a lot. In the past, he had to get his monthly allowance by himself, and when he was in his hometown, he could still spend money. Since he settled in Qili Village, he had to wait until he went to the county town if he wanted to spend money.
In addition, since the year before last, he insisted on keeping his own New Year's money. Together with the money he earned from doing small business with Manbao, especially the money from selling ginger, there was a pile of silver bars in his money box.
They were all very small, but they piled up to a considerable size, and the one on top contained the lucky money he had recently received.
Manbao exclaimed, and even Bai Erlang couldn't help but exclaim, feeling extremely envious.
Bai Shanbao became more and more proud, "I still have many toys."
He turned and ran to his room, quickly dragged out a large box and opened it to show them.
Manbao and Bai Erlang came over and were amazed. There were many toys in there that they had never seen before.
Bai Shanbao was proud. "These were sent to me by my uncles. Do you have any?"
Manbao shook his head: "I have candy."
Bai Erlang was so envious that he stretched out his hand to take it, but Bai Shanbao slapped it away and said, "I haven't played with it yet, so I won't give it to you."
Bai Erlang stretched out his hand to grab it, "I want to play with it."
Manbao thought he was being unreasonable. Since she was closer to Bai Shanbao than Bai Erlang, she helped him protect the toy while shouting, "You're not a good kid. You can't snatch things."
Bai Erlang was angry and aggrieved, his eyes turned red, and he used more force with his hands. He grabbed a toy and pulled it towards himself.
After all, the other party was older and stronger than Bai Shanbao and Manbao, so he quickly pushed Bai Shanbao and Manbao to the ground and snatched the toys from them.
If he ran away now, Bai Shanbao would definitely not be able to catch up with him. However, after he snatched the toys, he became greedy. He took a look at the toys in the big box and simply reached out to grab other toys that he thought were fun.
Bai Shanbao was furious and got up from the ground and pushed him.
Manbao was also very angry, and followed him forward. The two of them pushed Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang fell backwards to the ground, but he was holding a toy tightly in his arms and refused to let go.
Bai Shanbao accidentally saw the money box he had thrown aside, so he crawled over and grabbed the money box, shouting, "If you take my toy, I won't give you your money box."
Manbao also stopped, quickly pulled Bai Shanbao and his money box behind him, protected them tightly, and then stared at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang was holding the toy, with only his eyes barely visible.
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then I don't want money. I want your toys."
Of course Bai Shanbao refused. Although he liked money, he liked toys more. Seeing that Bai Erlang refused to return his toys to him, Bai Shanbao opened his mouth and started to cry.
Manbao thought this was a good idea and quickly pulled him aside, saying, "Let's take out our treasures and exchange them, and then buy it with money."
Bai Shanbao cried and said, "I don't want to sell my toys."
Manbao leaned over and whispered in Bai Erlang's ear, "Don't be afraid. The transaction must be voluntary. If he likes it, just say you won't sell it to him. Trick him into putting the toy down first."
Bai Shanbao thought she was right, so he turned to Bai Erlang and said, "Let's play a buying and selling game. I'll put out all my toys and treasures, and you go back and get your treasures. Manbao will also put out his own treasures, and you can pay for whatever you want."
Bai Erlang's eyes lit up and he thought this game was very fun.
He tentatively put down two toys and asked, "Are you serious?"
"I'm serious."
Bai Jiro: "Lying is like being a puppy."
Bai Shanbao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, whoever lies is a puppy."
Bai Erlang put down all the toys in his arms. Seeing that Bai Shanbao and Manbao were sitting on the ground looking up at him instead of grabbing the toys, he became happy and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and get the toys now."
When Manbao saw him running away, he and Bai Shanbao immediately put away the toys.
Bai Shanbao hesitated before closing the box. "I don't want to turn into a puppy."
Manbao scratched his head and asked, "What should I do then?"
Bai Shanbao looked at his toy box and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he rolled his eyes and said, "I'll put away my favorite toys and sell the rest."
Manbao felt that he was indeed a little smarter than her among the kids within a hundred miles, and that this was a good idea.
So the two friends worked together to put away Bai Shanbao's favorite toys. After doing so, they found that there were only a few toys left in the toy box.
After all, these toys were sent over before the Chinese New Year, and Bai Shanbao hasn't played with them for long, but he likes almost every one of them.
Manbao looked around and asked, "Do you have any old toys?"
Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, you wait."
Of course Manbao couldn't just wait, so she followed him everywhere and found all kinds of things in the corners of the study, his room, and the yard.
These things were put into the toy box.
There were even some pretty rocks he'd found by the river, which, in his opinion, were toys.
Manbao certainly thinks so too.
As they ran, they both started laughing and thought it was a very fun game.
So Manbao said, "I want to go home and get my toys, too."
Bai Shanbao of course thought it was okay, so he locked the study door, and the two children ran back to Zhou's house to collect Manbao's toys.
Manbao also has a lot of toys. Of course, they are not as exquisite as Bai Shanbao's, but there are a lot of different things.
These included the various bamboo toys and small boxes that Zhou Erlang made for her, the grass dragonflies that Zhou Silang made for her, and things she collected from outside.
Manbao found a larger bamboo box, put all the toys she thought were in it, and then she and Bai Shanbao carried it to the Bai family.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Bai family, I met Bai Erlang, who was leading two servants and carrying two large boxes.
When the two sides met, their eyes lit up.
