Chapter 195 Making Money
Manbao and Bai Shanbao placed the box in front of them, and then went to pull their own money boxes over.
Bai Erlang also asked his servant to put down his box, and then ran over to grab his money box.
The three of them each took a corner and sat down.
Bai Erlang opened his box and then looked at Bai Shanbao and Manbao. He quickly realized something was wrong and pointed at Bai Shanbao's box and asked, "Where are those toys you had before?"
Bai Shanbao said, "I won't sell those!"
Bai Erlang was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "You are lying!"
"No!" Bai Shanbao said, "Do you know what a transaction is? It's only when both parties are willing."
Manbao supported him, "Forced purchases are bad guys."
Bai Erlang pouted, feeling that what he said was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. However, it was certain that his eloquence was not as good as Bai Shanbao's, not to mention that they were outnumbered and bullying the weak.
So I was unhappy for a while.
Manbao asked him, "Are you still going to play?"
"Play!"
Bai Erlang opened his two large boxes viciously and boasted, "I have more toys than you do."
Manbao came over to take a look out of curiosity, and then found that he had several identical toys. Her favorite was a toy made of several golden circles put together, which she had just seen in Bai Shanbao's toy box.
Manbao pointed at the circles and asked, "Is this made of gold?"
"No," Bai Erlang scratched his head and said, "I don't know what it's made of, but it's not gold."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a close call. If it were made of gold and were really expensive, I'd like to buy it from you. Would you sell it to me?"
"This is a seven-ring linkage, it's not fun at all," Bai Erlang has a lot of toys like this, in addition to the seven-ring linkage there is also a nine-ring linkage. His father bought it for him, his mother bought it for him, his eldest brother bought it for him, and his uncles also bought it for him, all kinds of them.
So when he saw Manbao wanted to buy it, he handed it to her without thinking and waved his hand, saying, "Here you go."
Manbao asked, "How much?"
How does Bai Jilang know how much money it is?
He never asks the price when he buys something, let alone when he sells something.
He looked at Manbao innocently and said, "Just give it to me as you see fit?"
Manbao was also dumbfounded and said, "I don't know how much the Seven Links cost."
Then the two of them looked at Bai Shanbao.
Bai Shanbao hesitated for a moment and said, "Give him nine coins."
Manbao humbly asked, "Why is it nine characters?"
"Because nine is the largest number, and he's played with it before, it's a hand-me-down. Giving him nine coins is already very expensive."
Bai Erlang nodded in agreement and held out his hand to Manbao, "Give me nine coins."
Compared to Bai Erlang, Manbao considered herself a child who had seen the world. After all, she had more than a year of business experience. So she thought about it and felt that nine cents was not a lot, so she counted nine cents from the money box and gave them to him, and then put the beautiful seven-linked ring into her own box.
Bai Erlang was more interested in Bai Shanbao's toys, but after taking a look, he found that he had most of them, and the few that were missing were ones he didn't like very much.
So he asked Bai Shanbao to take out his new toy.
Bai Shanbao naturally refused and insisted that the purchase could not be forced.
Manbao just spent the money, and when she took a look, she found that the two of them had a lot of toys that she had never seen or played with before, and she wanted to buy them all.
She took a look at her money box and decisively recommended her toys to the two of them.
Bai Shanbao was not in a good mood because he often played with Manbao and he had seen most of her toys.
Adhering to the principle of saving a lot of money to do things better, Bai Shanbao insists on not spending money.
Bai Erlang took a look and was about to look away when he saw the dragonfly in her box. He took it out and asked, "How do you weave this?"
"I don't know, my fourth brother made it." Manbao remembered something and searched in the box. He quickly found a better-looking and sturdier bamboo dragonfly and said happily, "Look, this one was made by my second brother."
Even Bai Shanbao couldn't help but take a few more glances, not to mention Bai Erlang. His eyes lit up and he asked, "How much is this?"
Manbao thought about it and felt that the bamboo dragonfly was definitely not as good as the seven-linked ring, so he asked, "Five cents?"
Bai Erlang thought it was a bargain and counted out five cents from his money box and gave it to her.
Manbao was happy, Bai Erlang was happy too, but Bai Shanbao was a little unhappy. He pursed his lips, pushed the toy towards Manbao, and asked, "Do you have anything you like?"
Manbao lowered his head to choose, and quickly picked out a toy, and then the two of them happily made a deal.
Because the toys that Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang brought out were highly similar, neither of them was very interested in each other's toys, so the number of transactions between them could be counted on one hand.
Manbao's toys were quite different from theirs. Although Bai Shanbao showed no interest at first, he soon couldn't help but pick out several toys that he had hardly played with.
Of course, the most popular one is Manbao.
She has never been frugal. Even though she feels bad about it, she can't help but buy things when she sees something she likes.
So she bought a lot of toys from Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao. Although she made some money, she also spent a lot.
The copper coins in the money box were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Manbao felt that this was not a good idea, so after thinking for a moment, she put the bag in front of her, reached in, and took out a handful of candies wrapped in very common light gray oil paper. When she opened it, she found candies of various colors inside.
Bai Erlang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
He knew that Manbao had a kind of delicious candy with beautiful colors, but she was very stingy and always gave it to Bai Shanbao and never to him.
When he saw her take it out, he couldn't help swallowing.
Manbao asked them, "Are you going to buy it?"
Even Bai Shanbao couldn't help but want to buy it, "How much?"
"I sell them to others for one cent each, but I'll give you two for one cent." Because it saves going into the city and also saves the trouble of going with the fifth brother.
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang misunderstood and thought it was because they were friends.
The two nodded without hesitation and said, "Buy, I want to buy a lot."
Manbao kept taking out candies from his bag until he had eaten all the repackaged candies in Koko's backpack.
There was a pile of candies in front of her.
Bai Erlang had already pulled the candy in front of him with all his strength, and Bai Shanbao also rushed to grab it, but he only had time to take a look at Manbao's shoulder bag: This bag can actually hold so many things?
And it didn't seem to be very swollen just now.
Bai Shanbao soon had no chance to think, because Bai Erlang was too domineering. Not only did he grab most of the candies, he also reached out to grab them from in front of Bai Shanbao.
The two men almost got into a fight.
Finally, everyone counted the candies they had grabbed. Two pieces formed a pair, and Manbao was given the same amount of candies as the number they counted.
So, the money the two earned from Manbao soon returned to Manbao's box, and Bai Erlang, who had snatched a lot of candy, even had to pay thirty more coins.
Bai Erlang peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. It tasted sweet and satisfied, so he put all the candies in the box and decided not to play with them anymore.
He was going back to hide the candy.
One day, Mr. Bai was surprised to find that his youngest son's tooth was missing a piece, oh no, it was black, and then he found a lot of candy wrappers under his bed.
Mr. Bai: ...
