The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 193 Children’s Playhouse

Another day I went to the city and bought an ox cart and a mule cart, plus the original ox cart and two mule carts at home, as well as Li Jizhong's ox cart, a total of six cars. For two days, we temporarily unloaded the car hood, loaded the goods, and headed into the city.

After entering the city, Shiliu and a few people spent a day decorating the shop.

I took the wooden plaque and went to the scholar who was selling calligraphy at a stall on the street, inscribed the signboard and hung it up.

That night, everyone had an early rest. On the next morning, Li Rongwu and the three of them got up early and wiped the shop thoroughly. Li Jizong took the pen and ink and the account book and put them on the small table behind the counter. Li Rong's brown back I walked around the shop, thinking about opening today.

In fact, this shop is at the entrance of an alley. Residents in this alley pass by it every day, as well as people walking by on North Street outside. How can they not miss the lively decoration here? They have long been curious about what will be opened here. Shop.

The residents of Wutong Lane speculated that it was also a tailor shop, or a grain store and a grocery store. For them, it was convenient.

People walking by while shopping didn't care much. It didn't matter what kind of shop they opened. Anyway, there were all kinds of shops on North Street.

This morning, everyone saw movement in this shop. The signboard was put up and it was busy inside. It was open! I didn't light any firecrackers or anything.

Those who know the Chinese characters can look at the sign and read out, "Tong-Wan-Zhai-"

"Tongwanzhai? What kind of shop is this? What does it sell?"

"Looking at the name, it sounds like a child and something to play with. Could it be related to children? Oh, I know! It must be selling things for children to play with!"

When others heard this man's conclusion, they couldn't help but laugh, "Do you need to open such a big shop to sell children's toys? Isn't this just for food? Then the business of setting up street stalls and selling windmills, rattles and the like is pretty cool. Well, opening a special shop, or such a big shop, would be too big and not very useful."

Anyway, if it were him, he wouldn't spend so much money to buy such a big shop to sell those gadgets for children. It only cost a few coins, and he wouldn't be able to earn back the money from the shop after ten years of selling.

"It's not selling children's toys, so why is it called Tongwanzhai? Then tell me, what does the name mean?" The man was unconvinced.

"I don't know what it means, but I guess it must be some elegant and quiet things! Only those bookstores and antique shops open quietly, and they don't set off any firecrackers with great fanfare."

"What's for sale? Let's go in and take a look and we'll find out!"

Someone said with a smile, lifted his legs and went to the shop.

Listen to others, it makes sense. This shop is open, just for people to go in and browse. What's the point of them just standing at the door, blushing and thick-necked? You can just go in and take a look!
Seeing a guest coming inside, the trio of clerks who had been trained for several days immediately came forward to greet them, "Guests, please come in and be careful on the steps!"

After entering the shop, everyone looked around and saw that the two rooms were connected. When entering, there were two small round tables with four stools, and tea sets on the tables.

Under the east wall and next to the door is a large counter. There are several wood carvings placed on the counter, which look exquisite and lifelike.

There is a floor-to-ceiling cabinet with a height of one person standing under the wall in the center of the shop. The top four large grids are also filled with wood carvings, but the bottom six grids have partition windows made of colored glass. There are things placed in each grid, and they look like It doesn’t look like an ornament either.

Because the lower six grids were slightly shorter, everyone had to bend down to look. Inside one grid was a large wooden frame with many small objects placed inside. Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that these small objects looked like Beds, chairs, cabinets and other household items were about the size of a thumb, but they were made extremely delicately. When I looked at them again, I was shocked to realize that this big wooden frame didn't look like a house, but these inside were arranged to form a room!

There are two rectangular wooden boxes in the middle. On the wooden boxes are some thumb-sized wooden figures. Looking carefully, it seems that there are adults and children.

The grid on the left is the same as the one on the right. They are also made of exquisite thumb-sized objects. Upon closer inspection, everyone can see that this is a kitchen? The pots, pans, and stoves are all lifelike.

Everyone looked at it with great curiosity. What are these?

The man who just made a bet that it was a child's plaything couldn't help but ask the guy next to him, "What kind of business do you do here?"

Li Rongwu responded with a smile: "Let the guests know that our Tongwanzhai is a shop specializing in selling children's toys! The two kinds of toys that the guests just saw are a major feature of our store, play-and-play toys!"

When the man heard that he was indeed selling children's toys, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the people around him.

The man curled his lips and didn't care to quarrel with him. He was also shocked by this shop. Someone really opened a shop specifically to sell children's toys!

But this toy is very different from the ones sold on the street outside!
Looking at the bottom layer, there is a round wooden box in the left box, and next to it is what looks like a house made of colorful small wooden blocks stacked up. (Puzzle building blocks)

The middle grid is also a round wooden box, with a long wooden board standing next to it. The wooden board is empty, and inside are some strange-shaped small wooden blocks, which are also colorful and look like they have been pieced together. (Tetris puzzle blocks)
The right grid is still a round wooden box, with colorful long strips stacked next to it. The strips look like gold bars, and when stacked they look like a tower, but they are square and square. (Puzzle Jenga)
This strange scene made the group of people who came in very surprised.

As a qualified clerk, Li Rongwu saw that they had finished visiting the cabinet, so he led them to continue inside.

Next, there are two elegant potted plants placed under the west wall, and on the west wall is a painting directly painted on the wall. The paintings are full of strange things that they have never seen before, and many children are playing. Wearing these things, his face is full of childlike smile——

Then after passing through a round arch, the world inside made everyone scream in surprise.

I saw that the entire large carpeted room was filled with the same objects on the wall.

Under Li Rongwu's introduction, everyone could see it more clearly. There is a Ferris wheel on the left hand side of the entrance, and then there are two sets of seesaws and rocking horses, which are placed in scattered positions. Further inside, small slides, medium slides, and large slides form a large circle.

In the circle, there are six areas, which are the play areas for the six toys that were just placed on the shelves outside.

On the right side of the uncarpeted corridor, there are benches placed next to each other against the wall, with a coffee table between the benches.

The four walls are covered with childlike paintings, and the whole room looks childlike.

He came in soberly and went out in a daze. At the door of the shop, everyone looked at each other.

"Didn't you say you can bring your children to have fun for free? Let's go, let's go home and bring my son!"

"My house is in the alley, I'll go right away!"

"... "

Those who had children at home went back to hug their children, while those who did not have children thought of their nephews and nieces and ran away.

The shop that was bustling just now was instantly deserted.

The three clerks introduced it for a long time. Their mouths were dry and they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. After watching it for so long, they didn't buy it? How about playing?

Seeing the confused expressions on the three of them's faces, Shiliu said with a smile: "They are all adults, why can't they still buy these to play with? Don't worry, just wait."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the guest who had just left came back panting with a child in one hand.

"I brought my son and daughter here, can I go in and play?"

Li Rongwu and the others, who had been trained for a long time, immediately changed their expressions and welcomed them into the playroom with smiles. They asked the two children to take off their shoes and step on the carpet. As for the adult, he sat on the bench and drank. Just bring the tea and watch the children play.

The youngest Li Rongzi also took off his shoes and went in to tell the children how to play with these things——

After a while, more people came with their children one after another. These were the guests who had just visited.

After bringing everyone in one by one and making arrangements, Li Rongyang leaned on the counter and whispered to Li Rongzong inside: "We are just here to have fun, and no one is buying anything. It's the first day we open today. We won't all be here." It’s all work in vain and you don’t earn a penny, right?”

Li Jizong, who was holding an account book with only a few words written on it as "Tongwanzhai Account Book" and never touched it again, couldn't help but secretly nodded. On the first day of work on the new accounting room, there was no use for it!
Li Rongzong was very confident in his sister and was not anxious at all. He said, "Why are you anxious? How long will it take?"

When the shopkeeper didn't panic, the waiter naturally gradually calmed down.

Li Rongyang, who was dedicated to welcoming guests, looked a little bored. He was about to go to the back room to get into a hut when he saw a carriage approaching.

The carriage stopped directly in front of the Children's Playhouse. It was obviously a visitor!

Li Rongyang and Li Ronwu hurriedly came forward to greet them. One welcomed the guests in, and the other arranged for the driver to park the carriage.

The guests were none other than Wang's mother-in-law and Hong's mother-in-law and their children.

Pomegranate smiled and went up to entertain them personally, leading them to visit the shop and entering the play house. Ding Baowen and the others were immediately attracted by the children who were having fun inside, and they were busy going in to play.

Mrs. Hong looked at the children playing inside, some of whom were still wearing cotton clothes. At first glance, they were children from ordinary families. She didn’t want her grandson to go in and play with these people, but she couldn’t bear the children making a fuss, and Ding Baowen had already taken the lead to let them go. The maid took off her shoes and ran in, but she didn't stop her even if she wanted to.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. Pomegranate doesn't know how to do business. Anyone can be allowed in to play. Doesn't this bring down the business of this shop?

People like them don't want to play with others casually.

She didn't want her grandson to want to come again after one visit, just like her grandson's slide. After playing it, he made a fuss about going every day, but the slide he had agreed to a few days ago was brought to him, and then he stopped.

Immediately, I told my daughter-in-law to arrange such a fun place at home.

Meng was also happy to give the best to her children. She immediately agreed, turned to Pomegranate and said, "Give us a set of each of these toys here!"

Pomegranate smiled and responded, "Okay!"

Although the Wang family now only has one grandson, Ding Baowen, she is happy to take care of the pomegranate business and also asked for the full set.

Pomegranate immediately asked Li Rongzong to arrange it and deliver it to her door.
