Chapter 38: The Art of the Ring
After Huang Liangliang and Huang Sang had lunch in the welfare home, they sneaked out again and went to the street park that Huang Sang and Erhei had agreed on. Along the way, Huang Liangliang always wanted to ask Huang Sang what the gadgets she was doing, but Huang Sang obviously didn't have any interest in talking, Huang Liangliang didn't want to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, so he gave up.
When the two arrived at the street park, Erhei was already waiting for them there, Erhei was still carrying a hemp bag in his hand, and when he saw them coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Ahsan, you are here." ”
Huang Sang nodded at a few people, and then said, "Let's go to the central square." With that, he led a few people over there.
Now it is the afternoon, it is the time when there are the most people in the park, today is the New Year's Day holiday, the park is dragged out to play, the central square is especially many people, a group of three or five people sit on the flower bed and the grass, many also take out the food brought out from home, chatting while picnic.
Huang Sang walked around the central square, then chose a popular open space, where a circle was enclosed with a line, and then the two black people took out the iron cans from the sack and placed them neatly in the circle.
When the tin cans were all set, Huang Sang took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, one cent, five cents, one piece, and the largest denomination turned out to be ten yuan, he pressed those banknotes one by one under the tin can, and after doing all this, he gestured to the two blacks around him with his eyes.
Erhei received Huang Sang's gaze, and immediately understood, only to see him holding a stick in his right hand, hanging a stack of rings at the fork of the stick, and shouting loudly in his mouth, "Come to the ring! Come to the ring! A penny is a circle, and the set will be multiplied several times immediately! If you have the ability, you can take the ten yuan prize." ”
Huang Liangliang has been watching quietly from the sidelines, and now she probably understands that Huang Sang originally had the idea of playing, and this set of circles is somewhat similar to the pitcher they have there, but it is easier to get started, and ordinary people can also play. According to the public's love of greed and cheapness, the business of this ring is really profitable.
Erhei's shouting really attracted a lot of onlookers. The crowd gradually gathered around, and a group of adults were talking about it over there, obviously looking at their group of children as a novelty, and several of the older uncles and aunts were even talking about it at the top of their voices.
"Those little babies, why are they still doing business, what about your adults?"
"Yes, yes, there are even ten yuan bills, it shouldn't be that I stole the adult's money to play, if this is really taken away, be careful to go home and be beaten!"
Huang Sang stood behind a few people, his face was always smiling, watching a few adults discuss, and then he stepped forward and explained: "Uncles and aunts, this stall is actually my uncle's, but he has something to do temporarily, let's take a look at it for a while, and he will come over soon." ”
As soon as everyone heard that an adult would come, the discussion gradually became quieter, after all, children in this era are still very obedient and will not lie at will, and such a stall, if it is completely made by children, these adults do not believe it.
Erhei continued to shout there, and the crowd began to move, after all, the temptation of ten yuan was not small, and finally an eleven or twelve-year-old boy squeezed out of the crowd and said eagerly: "Let me try!"
Huang Liangliang looked at him: he was not big, he was quite short, his skin was a little dark, and he was only in the third grade at most. Seeing that it was finally open, Erhei immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and asked, "How many times is this little brother coming?" After that, he shook the ring in his hand in front of the little boy's eyes.
The little boy hesitated, took out a penny and said, "Bring me one first." ”
"Okay!" Erhei didn't think he wanted much, and handed him a ring with a smile on his face.
The little boy took the ring, only to see him open his eyes slightly, aiming at the ten-dollar jackpot in the middle, and throwing it out of the circle...... The ferrule touched the tin can, but it was knocked out of the way!
Just a little bit, there was a sigh of regret in the crowd, and the little boy's face was full of unwillingness, and he asked Erhei for two rings, and saw him pass a circle on his left hand to his right hand, twist his body, and throw it towards the jackpot. But alas, it still didn't hit.
At this time, two young men in the crowd also began to jump, they walked out of the crowd and came behind the little boy, "Let's try it too." ”
Erhei saw that there was another business coming to the door, so he was naturally happy, and hurriedly went up to ask them how many circles they wanted, and the two young men asked for five each, and in an instant it was a dime in the account.
At this time, the little boy had already thrown the last circle, but unfortunately, he still did not hit. The little boy shook his head helplessly, his face full of remorse and unwillingness, but he was obviously penniless at this time, so he turned and hurried away from the crowd.
The two boys didn't rush for the big prize set like the little boys, they chose a relatively close tin can, and pressed a penny under it, as if they wanted to practice first.
One of them saw the target, and threw the ring in his hand lightly, and without seeing how hard he used, the circle hit the tin pot impartially.
"Hit!" shouted from the crowd, and the young man also waved his arm, obviously very excited, although it was only a penny, but in front of so many people, the meaning of this penny was not ordinary.
Erhei still smiled on his face, and he didn't worry because the young man was trapped, walked to the tin can in the quilt, took off the ring from the tin can, and took out a penny pressed under the tin can, showed it to everyone, and then walked back to the young man and handed the penny to him, "Then, this is your prize, please take it." ”
The young man didn't take the money, but used the penny to change a circle and continued to set it up.
Soon, the ten circles in the hands of the two were all set, but except for the one in the initial set, their luck was not very good, and they didn't hit it ten times in a row. But the young man who initially set a penny was obviously addicted, and he looked like he would not give up, and he bought a dime circle from Erhei, maybe practice makes perfect, but he let him set a five-cent iron can, and now the young man was finally satisfied, and he didn't continue to set it after taking the money, but still watched in the crowd.
