At this time, there was a group of people around me running in one direction, which was the direction of the county government office. There was a large open space in front of the county government office, which was equivalent to the modern municipal square. Usually, all events were announced in the square, and prisoners were also sentenced to exile or beheading there.

A little girl said, "Come on, I heard there's a new fun game called ring tossing this year. Someone spent twenty coins and got a hairpin worth two taels. Let's go try our luck too."

"Really? Is there such a good thing?"

Ferrules?

Liu Caixia, Lin Weizhong and others looked at each other tacitly.

They are familiar with this word!

Could it be that another fellow villager came up with this?

"Mom, let's go and take a look too!" Liu Xiaolu suggested at the right time that she also wanted to go and take a look.

Lin Keyu nodded: "Dad, I want to go and see it too."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

By the time they arrived at the square, it was already surrounded by people.

There was a group of people gathered here, and a group of people gathered there. The people here looked for a while and then went to look over there.

Liu Xiaolu wanted to squeeze in, but Liu Caixia pulled her over: "You are a girl, tall and strong, you don't look like an eleven-year-old child at all, don't squeeze with those men, it's not appropriate."

"I'll go!"

Lin Weizhong and Lin Keyu squeezed forward.

"Brother, I heard there's a new hoop-tossing game, where is it? We want to go check it out too."

"That's the one in front, but there's a queue now because there are too many people who want to play! Let's go watch the acrobatics first. It's said that this is an acrobatic troupe from the capital, and today it's our county's turn. When you're happy, just pay a couple of cents. The minimum price for the ring-tossing over there is twenty cents for ten rings. And you may not get the ring right because there are too many people right now. Let's go and try later when there are fewer people."

"Okay, thank you bro."

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Weizhong did not go to watch the circus like him, but walked towards the ring tossing show.

Walk in and take a look.

Good guy.

Isn’t this really the modern version of a hoop?

Not necessarily. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Perhaps it existed in ancient times and was passed down.

Because he really didn't know when hooping became popular.

I saw that it was surrounded by bamboo poles, forming a square circle.

There were a lot of people standing around. When I squeezed in, I saw a man in front of me holding a circle made of bamboo. The circle came in two sizes. Someone stood in front of the railing with a small circle, leaning forward as much as possible. As long as he didn't fall into the railing, the people standing inside the railing would not stop him.

The man just exerted force and threw the ring in.

"Mei Zhong..." A man came in and took out the circle and handed it to the man who was handing out the circle. He continued to look at the man who threw the circle.

His target was a hairpin, the material of which was unknown, placed on a shelf. He was going to give it to the girl he loved, and they were already talking about marriage, but he had never given her anything good.

He liked this hairpin as soon as he saw it and was very obsessed with it.

Finally, there was only one circle left. He had lost hope and thought it would be better to work hard to save money to buy a hairpin. Then he heard a man shouting, "Gong Xi won a silver hairpin worth one tael and eight thousand."

Before he could react, the man came over with a ring and a hairpin.

"Gong Xi, little brother, here are the hairpins in your case. Keep them."

"Wow, that's amazing, I won the silver hairpin with 20 coins..."

"Amazing……"

"I'm so lucky..."

Lin Weizhong squeezed into the crowd and looked at the things on the ground. The first row was small items, not worth much, ranging from a few coins to more than ten coins; the second row was estimated to be worth about a hundred coins, the third row was even more expensive, and the fourth and fifth rows were worth more than one or two taels. The things in the sixth row were even more expensive and also very large. They were all packed in wooden boxes, and the lids of the boxes were propped open with wooden sticks to see what was inside.

Starting from the fifth row, the items are bigger and cannot be accommodated in the small circle.

You can only choose the big circle, and the small circles in the first four rows can fit in it.

The man’s hairpin was the most valuable item in the fourth row. No wonder he was so happy when he won.

I don’t know if this is a babysitter hired by this company.

In this kind of game, only a few people win.

Otherwise how to make money.

Lin Weizhong watched over there for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual about those people, and there was no flaw in their behavior.

He took Lin Keyu to find Liu Caixia and others.

Liu Caixia took Liu Xiaolu for a walk around the square, but there were too many people, so they stood at the exit and waited.

Liu Xiaolu was holding two strings of candied haws. There were also some modern snacks in her space, and many of the things had already been eaten by them.

Among all the snacks of this era, the most delicious one is the candied haws.

She likes it very much and buys a few strings every time she goes out and has the chance.

Seeing Lin Keyu coming over, he handed over a string and said, "Eat it quickly. This time the candied haws are very sweet. Not sour."

Lin Keyu is a boy, and he doesn't like sour things very much. After listening to Liu Xiaolu, he took it and said, "Thank you..."

"You're welcome……"

The two of them walked in front of several adults, looking around. Most of the time, Liu Xiaolu introduced Lin Keyu to others, after all, she had lived in the county town for several days.

Knows much more than Lin Keyu.

"Those people haven't found anything unusual yet. Either that person didn't hire anyone, or we are wrong. After all, this business also existed in ancient times."

"Well, it's okay, we'll just take a look. After all, we've been here for so long, and we've long been accustomed to life at this time. It's normal that we can't see any flaws. Besides, we're not so eager to add more people now. The more people there are, the harder it is to manage. It's better to buy some people back to work now."

"You're right. I always think about what if they're not doing well. After all, we're from the same hometown, so we should help each other. It's always better to stick together than to fight alone."

"Well, I know. If I get the chance, I must not miss it."

Liu Caixia knew that Lin Weizhong's professional attributes destined him to be more kind-hearted than others. This was good, as it was more reassuring to get along with such a person.

When passing by a ready-made clothing store, Liu Caixia said, "Let's go in and take a look. Our new clothes have already been made. You guys have been on the road so you probably haven't thought about it that much. Let's buy some cloth and make new clothes. Or if there's suitable ready-made clothes, let's buy one for each of you."

"It's okay. We've made a lot of clothes here. It's enough to wear. When conditions get better next year, we can make new clothes ourselves."

"You don't want it. The children also need new clothes."

No child can resist the temptation to wear New Year clothes.

Lin Keyu looked at Liu Caixia expectantly. He had always lived with his father. During this time together, he felt like a mother to Liu Caixia again.
