The onlookers were stunned.

Not to mention riding a horse, they had never seen this hourglass before!

Someone exclaimed, "This is made of crystal!"

"But how did the sand get in there?"

"Could it be that this is a match made in heaven? Wouldn't this make it even more precious?"

Such a precious thing is actually used to time a group of naughty boys riding bamboo horses?

A violent thing!

Seeing how they looked like they had never seen the world, Manager Gao laughed inwardly.

But if I don't make it clear, and let these people really think that it is made of crystal, wouldn't it cause trouble for my shop?

"You all must have misunderstood. How could something as valuable as crystal be placed here?"

"This is a toy used by the children of our host's family. It is made of glass. Think about it, if it was made of crystal, how could the sand be put in it?"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"It's Liuli!"

"Liuli isn't cheap either."

However, a boy held up a copper coin.

"I have money! I'll ride first!"

A teenager next to Manager Gao responded, and with a smile he helped the boy sit on the bamboo horse.

Manager Gao had already turned the hourglass over and started counting.

As soon as the boy sat on the bamboo horse, he grabbed the handles on both sides of the horse's neck with both hands, and with a little force, the bamboo horse began to sway back and forth.

It turns out that this bamboo horse has a long semicircular trough underneath, which makes it very smooth when it swings back and forth.

As the bamboo horse swayed, a faint percussion sound came from somewhere.

The music was very simple and joyful, but it was obvious that no one had ever heard anything like it before.

The little kids who were looking at it eagerly on both sides were almost crying with envy.

“Oh, and can sing!”

"I want to sit too!"

"I have money! I'm behind him!"

The clever kids have already rushed over to pay and queue up!

There were even some people who were so wealthy that they just paid two cents.

"I want to sit twice!"

The adults who were watching on the side finally reacted after seeing this scene.

We can’t let those brats in our family see this!

However, it was too late. The huge noise at the door of the boutique had already attracted half of the children on the street.

At this moment, seeing many people paying money and queuing up, they also started looking for their parents.

"Mother, I want to ride a horse too! The one that can sing!"

"Dad, give me a penny!"

Some of the children even ran back as fast as they could, because they had saved up some pocket money!

The shopkeeper Gao in the boutique collected the money with a smile and directed another young man to maintain order and let the children who had paid line up.

The adults watched helplessly as the line formed in less than half a cup of tea!

Here, there must be fifty or sixty of them, right?

If a person spends one penny, how long will it take to get fifty or sixty pennies?

Can their shop make so much money?

It hurts, it hurts so much!

In Lin Bo's mansion, in the old lady's courtyard, several maids and servants were gathered in the pavilion, their hands were busy, they were embellishing small pearls on the silk flowers.

Now the old lady's spirit and spirit are different. She has bought a house, opened a shop, and is going to build a farm in the countryside.

They also give everyone some small jobs to do from time to time. Anyway, they are free and can earn wages for each job and save some money for themselves. Why not?

Mother Zhou brought the finished silk flowers to Mother Jiao.

Aunt Jiao picked it up and looked at it from both sides before putting it in the basket on the table.

He picked up a pen and wrote down a number in a small notebook.

"Hey, I don't know if it will work at the shop today?"

Someone made a comment of emotion.

Madam Jiao glanced at the old woman who was speaking and said, "Someone should be back with the news soon."

The shop run by the old lady was not a very popular shop to begin with because it was located in a remote place at the end of the street. It had just opened and there was no lion dance or music. Moreover, the items sold in the shop were not necessities for ordinary people and the prices were not cheap, so it was no surprise that the business was slow.

As for the methods the old lady came up with to increase her popularity.

What made the old man in Zhuangzi, who was skilled in bamboo craftsmanship, make a horse half the height of a man?

There is a singing device in the belly of Malaysia.

They had people parade through the streets in red and green costumes, and they also deliberately arranged for a few young men from the accompanying houses to follow behind to create momentum.

She thought it sounded quite novel, but she didn't know if it would work.

But it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out.

It's just a loss of one hundred taels of silver.

Even though the old lady provided her servants with good food, made new clothes for everyone, and built a new farm in the countryside... in fact, all these added up did not exceed two hundred taels of silver.

Compared with the expenses of other rooms in the mansion, it is much more economical.

Now, this new earl, when the old grandfather was still alive, he would spend seventy or eighty taels of silver just to go out and make friends and have a meal in a restaurant, not to mention the girl he saw outside and brought her into the mansion. The value of her figure plus the money for the wedding banquet would cost at least four or five hundred taels of silver.

Money is being spent like water, so isn't it causing the Earl's Mansion to be unable to make ends meet?

"The silk flowers with pearls we made are so pretty that I want to keep a few of them! They will definitely sell well."

"Well, Madam Jiao, I wonder if we can buy it ourselves?"

The person asking the question was a young girl. Girls of this age naturally love these flowers.

Her family was also the old lady's companion. Her parents gave birth to her and her sister. Her elder sister had already married, leaving her as the only little girl. Naturally, she would not be shortchanged in terms of expenses. The monthly salary she earned was used to buy rouge or flowers to wear.

Madam Jiao picked up another silk flower to examine it.

"Yes, we can buy it. This flower sells for 100 coins each in the shop, but if we buy it ourselves, it only costs 80 coins."

When she said this, several people felt itchy in their hearts.

Head flowers are not worth much in the first place and can only be worn for half a year or a year at most. Wouldn’t the color be less bright?

But the bead on it is valuable!

Such a bright and round bead, although a little small, but when you light it, it looks beautiful and noble!

Headbands are worthless when they are old, but the beads can be removed and used again!
