"Sister, I don't have a dollar, I only have 5 cents. Can I buy 5 rings?"

Liang Yili was taken aback.

The little girl mistakenly thought Liang Yili disagreed, and her cheeks turned red with anxiety: "Sister, I only have 5 cents, but I... I want that doll..."

Liang Yili followed the little girl's gaze, looked around, and seeing that the girl's parents were not nearby, explained:

"But it's not guaranteed that you'll be able to catch it!"

To prevent anyone from making a scene and then coming to her crying after failing to get the answer, Liang Yili felt it was necessary to remind everyone beforehand.

"Some rings can be won in a ring toss game, while others cannot."

But whether you succeed or fail, we should always strive for harmony and prosperity.

If you win, I can give you the prize for free, but if you don't win, you can't go back on your word and demand a refund for the rings!

The crowd immediately replied, "Of course!"

The little girl blinked, going over Liang Yili's words in her mind.

Mei Ning looked at the five cents in her hand with a conflicted expression, then glanced at the doll not far away.

The scales in my heart sway back and forth.

She had seen this doll at the convenience store near the school gate; it cost one yuan and fifty cents.

But... this 5 cents was her allowance saved up for several days. What if she didn't win...

Liang Yili didn't urge her, but just stood quietly to the side, waiting for her to make her own decision.

The young man standing nearby stared longingly at the pack of cigarettes on the ground, rubbed his yellowed middle finger, and got up to walk over:

"Little girl, give me 10 ring toss games!"

"okay!"

A young girl looked at the small mirror on the ground and felt a little tempted.

"I want 10 laps too!"

Because the venue was large enough, Liang Yili placed 50 prizes on the ground, which could easily accommodate 5 people playing ring toss at the same time.

As the rings were thrown, gasps of surprise would occasionally erupt from the crowd.

"Wow, so close!"

"Wow!"

Soon, the first prize winner of the day was announced.

"Oh no, I managed to loop the ring onto a cup!"

The young girl, who had intended to throw a small mirror but accidentally hit a cup next to it, complained with a mixture of regret, dissatisfaction, and delight.

Liang Yili glanced at the growing crowd of onlookers around her and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"One cup, whose is it?"

Then walk up to the cup and hold it high.

"This little girl only threw two rings, right? And she already won a glass? Her luck is amazing!"

"She doesn't seem to want that cup. Give it to me, I want it!"

The envious whispers from the crowd instantly lessened the young girl's disappointment at not getting the small mirror, and she quickly replied:

"My! My cup!"

Liang Yili's act of genuinely gifting a glass made the atmosphere even more lively.

"This little girl is so lucky! She still has eight rings left. She could win any one of them and break even!"

Entertainment was scarce in those days, and seeing that a large crowd had gathered here, passersby in the distance were also drawn to the scene and flocked over.

"What are you doing?"

"Ring toss game, and if you win, it's free! Look, that young girl's glass is the one she just won!"

The young girl's success not only fueled her own ambition but also ignited the competitive spirit of the young man next to her.

Both are ring toss games, but the other person has already won something, so how can he be worse than the other person?

As the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly lively, the familiar closing bell rang at the factory.

Liang Ruotao, who had only sold 3 jin of shrimp, was so anxious that her face turned red.

Recalling the scene of Liang Yili selling shrimp yesterday, she knew clearly that she had to do something.

But no matter how many times he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.

Liang Ruotao subconsciously looked in Liang Yili's direction, only to be met with an encouraging gaze from the other woman.

She was stunned, and her face, which was already flushed red, turned even redder.

But when it spoke again, its voice, which was not much louder than a cat's meow, suddenly seemed to have its meridians opened up, and it traveled far through the crowd.

"Selling spicy crayfish! These crayfish are both spicy and numbing, perfect for enjoying with drinks or entertaining guests! Come and take a look, everyone!"

With this successful first cry of hawking, it seems no surprise that subsequent cries followed.

The crayfish stall was right next to the ring toss game, and many newly gathered customers looked over after hearing Liang Ruotao's calls.

As a gust of wind blew by, the aroma of crayfish reached the noses of everyone nearby.

Customer A swallowed hard and quietly walked over: "One yuan per pound?"

"Yes! Free samples are available!"

After saying that, Liang Ruotao used clean chopsticks to pick up a crayfish and handed it to him.

Customer A seemed surprised by the girl's honesty. He had only asked out of curiosity, and she had handed him a crayfish for free.

"Free to try, it's free."

Customer A's lips twitched slightly, but upon meeting the little girl's expectant gaze, she couldn't bear to say no.

I took the crayfish and started eating it.

If it was just out of curiosity and reluctance at first...

So, after tasting the unique flavor of crayfish, he immediately decided to buy some.

"One yuan per pound, right? Give me two pounds!"

He was used to having a little wine every night, but the braised pork head at the shop was expensive and scarce...

How about we try some crayfish with our drinks tonight?

The fact that crayfish can thrive at barbecue stalls and remain popular for so long must be due to its unique charm.

Before long, one customer after another came in, craving crayfish so much that they couldn't stop thinking about it all night.

This costs one pound.

That needs to be two jin (1 kg).

Within two hours, the 20 jin (10 catties) of crayfish brought by the three generations of the family were sold out.

"Sorry, we're sold out for today."

"So fast? Couldn't you have made more?"

"Sorry, sorry! I'll definitely make more tomorrow!"

Faced with yet another customer who came to buy crayfish but could only leave disappointed, Liang Ruotao smiled apologetically, but her heart was bleeding.

Was that a person who left?

It's money!

No, I need to make more tomorrow!

Meanwhile, the ring toss game reaches its peak as the workers finish their shifts.

The open space, which was fenced off with hemp rope, was surrounded by layers of people.

"It's off! Hey! It should have been thrown to the left!"

"This kid's no good! If it were me, I'd definitely hit it on the first try!"

When Liang Yili was choosing rings, she didn't choose the very small ones, but rather the medium-sized ones.

The larger the rings, the more toys and prizes are available, increasing the chances of winning.

Customers aren't stupid; if they see that they can actually get away with it, their guard will be lowered considerably.

With such a small area, hundreds of people gathered around, watching others play ring toss, how could they not be tempted?

As long as even one out of ten people is tempted to try it, Liang Yili will not lose money.

If two people buy the ring toss game, she can make a profit!

The little girl who had been standing to the side saw that the prizes on the ground were dwindling and she finally couldn't resist anymore.

"Sister, I want to buy five ring toss games!"
