As the Chinese New Year gets closer and closer.

The city has also become very lively.

In ancient times, the Chinese New Year was much more flavorful than the current one.

There are also more on the streets of Jianning Mansion, jugglers who were rare before, and martial arts masters who perform various martial arts, after all, this is not like a martial arts book, any hero can shout, I bet 100,000 taels of silver, and the money will not be used up.

Cao Yan is now standing in front of a little big ring, holding some watermelon seeds in his hand, and the current sunflowers are still waiting to be found in South America, which makes Cao Yan a little regretful, after all, eating melon seeds to watch the show refers to sunflower seeds, not watermelon seeds, and this watermelon seeds are also a little difficult.

This is a competition to recruit relatives.

Cao Yan has always wanted to see such a thing, and specially instructed the people in the family, and when he saw it, he asked himself to see the excitement, but it has been almost a year, and he finally saw it during the New Year.

The most conspicuous place in the ring, one on the left and one on the right, each hung a billboard.

The general content is to explain the family situation of the organizer, as well as some requirements for those who are ready to go to the ring to compete, such as age, knowledge, martial arts, etc.

These are not like what is shown on TV, just shout at a random person, regardless of men, women and children, whether the limbs are healthy or not.

Only passed the interview, well! It should be said that the interview, and it is still the woman's home, the table in front of the ring to register, after interrogating the family situation, through the screening of the woman's parents can go up, and also pay a registration fee.

"Sir, are you here?"

Behind Cao Yan, the voices of Xia Haibo and others came.

He turned his head to look at the group of people who had come over, and finally his gaze fell on Luo Ming.

This kid, yesterday I heard Zhong Xinyi praise him for his hard work, but today he is inflated?

"Master, a combination of work and rest, a combination of work and rest." Obviously, he was questioned by others a lot, and as soon as he saw Cao Yan's expression, he knew what he wanted to say, and Luo Ming hurriedly opened his mouth to explain first.

This kid, Cao Yan is a little depressed, they haven't learned their own good words, these lazy words, they will say them all once they hear it.

"Sir likes to see this? Let's go to the teahouse over there! Xia Haibo pointed to the second floor of a teahouse diagonally opposite the ring, with a very good line of sight.

Cao Yan looked in the direction he was pointing.

It's already full of people, and there is no place for it, so it should be people who come to see the excitement.

He withdrew his gaze and shrugged, "It's full!" ”

"It's okay, this is the property of Li Laosi's family, let him go and talk to the shopkeeper, just say that the store is renovated today, and let them all leave." Xia Haibo looked at the signboard in front of the store and snorted at the younger brother behind him with his mouth.

"Isn't that okay?" Cao Yan asked suspiciously.

"What's so good about that," they have always been domineering, in this Jiangning Mansion, except for Xiang Yixin, none of them are cowardly, Xia Haibo looked at Li Laosi, who was still standing in a daze, and roared: "Li Laosi, don't go quickly, what's the daze!" ”

"Oh! Brother Xia: Okay! ”

……

With Li Laosi, he walked into the store.

It didn't take long for Xiao Er in the store to hang out a sign that was closing.

Then, all the customers in the store scolded and left.

Li Laosi, who was standing at the door of the store, beckoned to the direction where Cao Yan and the others were standing.

Everyone hurriedly walked over.

It's much more comfortable to watch the drama now.

Sitting on a chair, drinking hot tea, and roasting the fire, it was instantly much cooler than standing on the side of the street and blowing the wind before.

……

The competition is not that the person who signed up directly competes with the owner of the ring, this is the competition for relatives, and the rules are a little more elaborate than the simple competition ring.

They are, after each registration has reached a certain number of people, and then select one of the best among these people, or several people to enter the next round.

And so on and so forth.

It was held until the last day of their arrangement, and the most desirable people were selected, and finally the family member or the young lady who recruited them competed with them.

Now it's time to test whether you can get into the eyes of others.

If you enter, then in the competition, the organizer will definitely release water, so that you can win and hold the beauty, if not, then you must be greeted by the most powerful one in the family, so that you are convinced.

When he heard this rule, Cao Yan also secretly praised the organizer, this is match-fixing!

Of course, every time this contest will be opened.

The people of Da Chu, both adults and children, like to gamble.

Especially the festive day of the New Year.

"Sir, who do you think is the best this time?" Xia Haibo looked at the two people in the ring, holding a big portrait of Cao Yan (1,000 yuan) in his hand, and handed the money to Xia Xiaojiu, probably preparing for him to bet for himself.

"I can't see it," Cao Yan really couldn't see this thing, but he looked at what he had printed that shouldn't be said.

"What? Asked the wrong question? Cao Yan smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, master, you probably don't know if you're on Zhuangzi's side every day now, but now this thing is better than copper coins."

"Oh! Tell me about it! Cao Yan came to the spirit as soon as he heard it, and he was still thinking about how to push this thing out for everyone to accept, although he arranged people in his own store to explain the purpose of these coupons, as well as various anti-counterfeiting knowledge, and let everyone redeem it, but after that, he didn't pay attention to it, let this thing develop slowly, but he didn't expect such a big surprise to come out of the street for a while.

"Now the copper coins on the market, Mr. should know, some private minted copper is less, white, these are called white money, generally two to three can be exchanged for an official minted copper coin, but some people will distinguish, some people will not distinguish, and once the copper money used in the checkout is too much, there is no way to divide it."

"Therefore, many of us like to use Jiaozi, but these Jiaozi are also made by some big businesses, and now whose business name in Jiangning Mansion is bigger and more confident than the business opened by Mr. Shang? How much gold and silver? ”

"That's it, plus those Jiaozi don't have the face value of these coupons as convenient!"

"Yes, sir, I have never heard of it."

"Moreover, on the market now, whose Jiaozi is used, it must not be as reassuring as Mr. Yong!"

"Therefore, all of our industries now allow guests to settle the bill with the coupons of Mr. 's house, and in addition to Mr.'s own industry, the shops on the market in Jiangning Mansion can use this kind of to finish these, and everyone takes out a handful of coupons from their own shirts and pockets and takes them out to show Cao Yan.

There are all denominations.

"By the way, master, now they have a name for this thing."

"Oh???" Does this thing still have a name? Cao Yan felt strange, but he was relieved when he remembered the names that people in later generations had chosen for Qian: "Let's talk about what names they have taken." ”

"This is called Mr. Big," Luo Ming took out a piece of 1,000 yuan, "This is called Mr. Little," Luo Ming pointed to one piece at a time.

"This is called Miss Big, this is called Miss Little," Luo Ming pointed to a hundred and two pieces.

"It's called a small slap." Luo Ming pointed to the five-mao one, and finally pointed to the five-piece one, "This is called a big slap." After speaking, Luo Ming and everyone naturally looked at Lin Ruyi's gloved hand on the side.

But after discovering that she was embarrassed to hide her hands behind her back, everyone took their eyes back again.

Luo Ming paused, pointed to the last two, and showed a strange smile: "These two are big and small bosses." ”

Not to mention that the name sounds apt, but what does the strange smile that Luo Ming showed at the end mean?
