“I still have a bicycle at home, do you want to buy one?” Xiao Lang kept the silver and said.
“A bicycle?” Yang Tianzhi asked, puzzled. “What’s that?”
Xiao Lang explained, “It has two wheels. You can ride it, it’s very fun. You’ll know when I ride it tomorrow.”
Yang Tianzhi nodded and said, “I want it!” Do I need a deposit for this too?” “Yes, 20 taels.”
“I don’t have that much money with me. I’ll bring it back to you tomorrow.”
“Sure. ”
When they arrived at the Academy, as expected, they attracted a crowd of onlookers. Xiao Lang was a generous child, so he lent it to them to play once.
After they played, they liked it even more and came to find Xiao Lang to ask for information. “Xiao Lang, where did you buy this?”
“I made it myself. If you want to buy it, give me 5 taels of deposit. I’ll give it to you after it’s done.”
5 taels of silver were not considered money to them, so they all took out silver without hesitation.
“Then you have to ask your workers to work faster!”
Xiao Lang nodded. “Don’t worry.”
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted, “If you want to buy a skateboard, find the Jian Family Bicycle!’
Many of Xiao Lang’s classmates had the same temperament as him, so they also laughed and said loudly, “Buy a skateboard, find the Jian Family Bicycle!’ “Buy a bicycle!” Xiao Lang shouted again. “Look for the Jian Family Bicycle!’ Xiao Lang’s voice was very penetrating, and his classmates also shouted, “Buy a bicycle, look for the Jian Family Bicycle!’
After that, they reacted and asked in confusion, “What’s a bicycle?”
“I know!” Yang Tianzhi shouted. “It has two wheels and can be ridden!”
The crowd still could not imagine anything. Xiao Lang said, “I’ll ride it here tomorrow and you’ll know.”
…
When they returned home at night, the three of them carried a large bag of silver. They poured all of it on their beds and rubbed their fists. “Let’s count how much silver we have!”
Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye counted the money they had collected. There was a total of 2,400 taels of silver, which meant that 120 people had reserved it. The amount of money left them speechless.
According to Jian Qingqing, the bicycle was sold for 50 taels, but Xiao Ye still felt that it was too little. He waved his hand and directly changed it to 100 taels.
If 100 people wanted to buy it, it would be more than 10,000 taels.
“Is my family really rich now?!” Xiao Hu asked excitedly.
Xiao Ye shook his head. What a silly brother. Their family was rich to begin with, but they were even richer now.
The Xiao Lang had collected 550 taels. This was not only the deposit for the skateboard, but also the deposit for the bicycle. He had noted them all down.
Seeing that there were so many of them, he was not convinced. “That’s because the deposit for my skateboard is cheap. When I ride my bicycle there tomorrow, I’ll definitely get the same amount as you guys!’
What Xiao Lang thought was right. When he rode the bicycle to the Academy the next day, he received a deposit of more than 3,000 taels. Unlike the Academy where Xiao Hu was, most of the students in the Academy took the path of scholars. They were very particular about their words and actions. They felt that riding a bicycle like this was too unsightly. Those that placed an order were the more actives ones.
The students of the Institute of martial arts loved to play, so they were overjoyed to have a new toy. Most of them ordered it.
Jian Qingqing did not expect that they would receive so many orders. She quickly hired some craftsmen to rush the work and make the bicycles and skateboards needed for the order.
In a week, the three of them had received almost 1,000 orders. They wanted to take more, but Jian Qingqing saw that and was afraid that they could not finish it, so she quickly stopped them..
