In the bungalow in the backyard of Liufangzhai Teahouse, the hemp rod lit the firewood in the small pottery basin, grabbed a few pieces of charcoal with his hands, carefully placed it on the flame, clapped his hands and looked at the small teapot where the oil lamp was being lit. Finally, his eyes stopped on the cloth bag filled with silver dollars on the low table, and his head was still dizzy, as if he was dreaming.

One thousand and one hundred silver dollars were a huge wealth that Ma Gan had never seen before and could never have imagined, but now it was in front of him and belonged to him.

The scenes in the afternoon were already deeply engraved in Ma Gan's mind. His fragile heart was still violently shaking. If it weren't for the heavy silver dollars that were within reach in front of him, he wouldn't have believed that the jade pendant that was only the size of a cup. He thought that it was worth up to three silver dollars, so he actually made his puppet brother's small teapot sell at a sky-high price of 1,100 silver dollars.

Thinking of the madness of the elder brother driving "two thousand oceans" in the foreign company in the afternoon, Ma Gan couldn't help but tremble again. His first reaction at that time was that the elder brother was crazy about money and was probably going to be bombarded by foreigners. Unexpectedly, it was this incredible ending that shocked him.

"Cold tea, drink it." The little teapot brought two bowls of tea and put it on the table: "You're still stupid? Why don't you sleep with your money bag at night?"

Ma Gan smiled and said, "Brother, how did your brain grow? You weren't so bold before."

The little teapot drank half a bowl of cold tea, put the bowl on the table, and stared at the maka with a smile: "I look down on me, do you? Learn a little, hehe! I won't talk about anything else for now. I guess you've already figured out how to use this money?"

Ma Gan suddenly became excited: "I thought about it, brother, you take half of it and marry a wife to buy a house. How do you do that? I will use my other half to buy a small yard in the south of the city. Now the house in the city is cheap, and you can buy a house with two small yards in the downtown area with three or four hundred silver dollars. After buying the house, I let a group of brothers and sisters in the Land Temple move in, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food at will, and you will no longer have to starve and get cold... What? Brother, why are you unhappy?"

The little teapot shook his head, unbuttoned the big braid on his head and shook it: "I don't want a penny, but I don't agree with you to buy a house."

"Why?" Ma Gan was very puzzled.

The little teapot tapped the table with his finger: "Have you ever thought that you must first go to the newly established police station to apply for a household registration certificate when buying a house. After finding the guarantor, you have to pay 10% of the tax at the yamen before you can apply for a house deed. You also have to pay the tax at the donation bureau. In less than ten days and eight days, you can go through four or five yamen, so don't think about getting things done. Let's not talk about these for now, just talk about your current status and status. People like you and me don't even have a certificate of entry. If you suddenly have a huge sum of money to buy a house for no reason, how much trouble will it cause?"

This was like a blow to the head. Ma Gan finally calmed down. After being stunned, he was full of shame: "What the guy said is, I'm careless. If I really go to buy a house in a daze, even if no one doubts, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay safe. I don't know how many people and officials in the road want to make us think about it."

The little teapot smiled with satisfaction: "It's right to think so, but you don't have to worry too much. The place you live in must be solved, otherwise, your brothers and sisters may not be able to survive this winter. Do you remember the pond east of the North School Field? It's the east side of the dilapidated temple where you live now, and there is a yard next to the pond. When Lao San and I passed by this morning, I saw a sign for rent hanging on the bamboo fence in the yard. I think that place is pretty good, spacious and quiet, and there is a vegetable field near the pond. Don't look remote, it's safe there! And a few steps eastwards are the German consulate and the lively Manshu Temple Market. Diagonally opposite the market is the German church. It's very convenient to buy things. Why do you have to go to the chaotic place in the south of the city to join in the fun?"

Ma Gan nodded thoughtfully: "I listen to you. Brother, you are more thoughtful than me. What you decided is definitely right. But you score half of the money. I don't want you to live in this woodshed with air leakage. Brothers must share blessings and share difficulties."

"It's okay, I have something to do now. I have five silver dollars a month for wages, which is enough to spend. But you not only don't have a place to live, but you also have to take care of more than a dozen hungry brothers and sisters who are screaming. Don't look at the more than a thousand silver dollars in front of you, but it's not much to be shared by more than a dozen people. You also have to think about how a large group of people will live in the future. So you have to put aside your mind, not spend money indiscriminately, and you can't live as much as before." The little teapot sighed, and his childish face showed a mature demeanor that was not consistent with his age.

Ma Gan was moved, but he firmly disagreed with the small teapot not to take money.

The two argued for a long time, and in the end, the little teapot said that yours is mine, why are you fighting for? At worst, you can leave one for me after renting the house. How can you live your life in the future? Can you bear to see me hungry when you drink and eat meat? A few words made Ma Gan put aside his guilt, smile, and feel extremely warm.

On the afternoon of the third day, with the help of the third and fourth brothers, Ma Gan happily placed the thirteen beggar brothers and sisters in the rented yard, and went out to the street to buy more than a dozen quilts, more than a dozen sets of old cotton jackets, five hundred kilograms of charcoal, two hundred kilograms of rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., and hired a ox cart to pack it and moved it back in the local area.

In the evening, the teapot arrived and saw a group of happy children. The two tables were oily and steaming red pepper hotpot. I couldn't help but feel very happy. I sat down surrounded by the brothers of Ma Gan, took the chopsticks, and happily opened my cheeks and ate hard.

Wu San and Rodfa already knew the whole story and admired the elder brother Xiao Teapot. After eating a few pieces of meat from the small teapot, they rushed to toast the small teapot with Ma Gan. They had a lively dinner that was not delicate but very rich.

After drinking two bowls of water and wine, I picked up a fat intestine and stuffed it into my mouth. I put down the chopsticks with satisfaction and wiped my mouth. I sighed with great emotion: "It's good to have a home!"

The brothers laughed loudly, and after the teapot, he said slowly: "I finally settled down. Don't be anxious about other things for the time being. Let's talk about it after the New Year. In the past few days, you can go out for a walk, buy more New Year's goods, and buy a pair of cotton shoes for each of the dozen or soaps and towels, so that everyone can have a happy New Year together."

"Brother, all these second brothers have thought of it. I will accompany my second brother to do it tomorrow. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely be able to buy good and cheap things." Rodfa is the son of a merchant, and he is so familiar with these things that he cannot be familiar with them anymore, so he takes it for granted.

What happened to Ma Gan: "Brother, aren't you going to read books and read recently? We have discussed it and give you a set of four treasures of the study and a few new books. I just don't know what other books you like besides "Three Kingdoms"?"

The little teapot thought about it and was not polite: "The four treasures of the study are exempted. There is one in the store. The shopkeeper checked the night before. Not only did he not get angry when he saw me practicing calligraphy with his brush and ink. Instead, he said that there was no need to sneak in the future, but he had to buy copybooks and paper by himself, so you just give me a knife to ordinary letter paper. As for books, you don't have to buy new ones. The fourth brother's house is close to the ancestral hall street. If you have time, you can help me buy a few books from the old book stall. It is best to have maps and books introducing foreigners published in recent years. Other legends, vernacular books, etc. are boring, I don't need them."

Rodfa immediately agreed and said with emotion: "Brother, I really admire you. You only started to learn to recognize words after you were injured. The characters you write are better than me. If you started learning from the age of seven, I am afraid that those people in the school will not be as good as you. In the past, my father always wanted to make money so that I could study abroad and learn more skills to shine with my ancestors, but I couldn't listen. Now it seems that I have to practice calligraphy and read books."

"That's right!" Xiao Teapot praised loudly: "Fourth brothers, your body is the worst among the four brothers, but your brain is the best, especially if you calculate and plan. None of us can compare to you, so I won't be able to calculate that thing. If you can learn something new, you will definitely achieve great things. Maybe our brothers will rely on you in the future."

"By the way! I think so too."

Ma Gan echoed with the sound, and Wu San, who could not read the big words, was also very impressed by his fourth brother who could write and calculate.

Rhodes' face was full of shy smile, but he was very helpful in his heart. He made up his mind to learn more in the future and not let his elder brother surpass him. He couldn't fight or his health. The only thing he could be proud of was his brain, he could write and calculate. If these abilities were also surpassed by his elder brother, he would be too failed to be a human being.

Wu San didn't say much and was carefree. At this moment, the wine was a little bit over, and his bronze square face turned into a sauce, and he was more courageous: "Brother, my second brother told me today that if I don't want to continue to stay in my brother's and his coolie, I simply moved here and worked with my second brother. I also wanted to come over, but I just don't understand what to do in the future...Brother, do you have an idea in your heart?"

The little teapot looked at the maroon and turned to Wu San and asked, "Brother San, your dad doesn't care about you anymore?"

"He doesn't care about me. He hasn't taken care of me anymore since last year. It also means that I have to get out when I turn 16 in the summer. I will start my own business and be alone like my elder brother and second brother. And he will marry another woman after the New Year, which makes my mother and aunt cry all the time these days. The family is so quarrels like today, and I'm so annoyed." Wu San was discouraged, and after saying that, he picked up the wine bowl again.

"Okay, let's move here. Sooner or later we will be independent and cannot always live a cowardly life like before." Xiaochao said nothing nonsense and directly expressed his plans: "I have thought about it and thought about it these two days, and finally thought of a business. There are not many people in Chengdu now. It's a bit complicated to go to the Investment and Commercial Bureau and the Police Station to go through the procedures. But it doesn't matter. I plan to ask my sister to come forward to help. As long as my sister comes forward, others will not be suspicious of the origin of money."

"What business?" the three brothers asked almost at the same time.

"Buy a Toyo car and drive! That kind of thing with two rubber wheels is a hundred times better than a sedan carried by two people, and is better than a carriage that needs to be fed more than a dozen kilograms of fine materials every day. It is labor-saving and convenient. You don't need to use your brain and have the strength. And you don't need to pull it yourself, just hire coolies to pull the cart." After the little teapot said, he smiled at everyone's reaction.

The three brothers were shocked. The fourth brother Rod said in confusion: "Brother, this is a new thing. Only Mr. Chen's house in the south of the city bought five new cars and opened a car dealer. I heard that buying a Toyo car costs 170 yuan, and I have to pay a deposit first. It takes forty days to get the goods. The investment is too much, and it is not cost-effective!"

The little teapot explained helplessly: "Actually, the oriental bikes are not worth more than one hundred silver dollars at all. They are all the foreigners cheat us. Who can't make our country? There are also the bicycles that foreigners ride on the streets. They are simple and broken things, and they actually sold them for 250 silver dollars each. It's unreasonable! But foreigners just sell them as luxury goods, and no one can do anything, so we can only grit our teeth and endure it. I have repeatedly calculated this matter, it's worth it!"

"It's really worth it?" Ma Gan asked.

The little teapot nodded: "Don't you see many people rushing to ride a Toyo car? Our teahouse guests often talk about this these days. Those who have sat there said that it is comfortable and fast, and can sit two or three people. It is much better than a slow sedan. It can be seen that there will definitely be more and more things. So, now we don't seize the opportunity to set up a car shop as soon as possible. It will be too late to wait for those rich men to wake up. As long as we brothers work together, we will definitely make money! Third brother, you have to manage the car shop with the second brother. Both black and white in the city give your old man face. If you come forward, others dare not bully him, and you will feel at ease."

"Okay, this matter is for me. Don't hire anyone. I'll pull the cart. I have the strength!" Wu San slapped his chest loudly.

Xiao Teapot smiled and said, "Let's buy three cars first. How can you pull it over by yourself? I believe that within three months of opening, you can buy a few more cars, and then slowly grow bigger, and strive to achieve fifty cars within a year. Only in this way can it become a climate."

The three brothers showed incredible expressions, and they didn't believe that they could be as big as fifty cars in a year. How much does it cost?

Seeing this, Xiao Teapot smiled and said, "I don't believe it, right? Okay, let's take a look. I'll put my words here today. As long as we brothers work together, we can reach the scale of fifty cars a year, and in the future, we can become one of the best car dealers in the city! As for how to make money by buying a car, I'll find a way. If I can't do it, I'll kneel down and apologize for you, but you have to be responsible for the money pulling a car. Can you do it?"

The three brothers were inspired by this and stood up one by one: "Keep your word?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as a horse!" The little teapot came casually.

Ma Gan gritted his teeth: "Okay! Brother, since you said that, I have nothing to say, brother, I believe you, I will take a gamble even if I try my best!"

"And I! Brother, I'm done!" Wu San's voice shocked everyone's ears.

The fourth brother Rodfa was not willing to fall behind: "I'll do the settlement matter, brother, we're waiting for you to buy a car!"

The little teapot laughed, grabbed the wine jar, and poured four bowls of wine in a row: "After drinking this bowl, I have to go back to watch. The ugly words are ahead. Once this bowl of wine is drunk, none of us will retreat. No one can say anything bad in the future. You three must think about it! It is still time to regret it now."

"Brother, aren't you talking nonsense?"

"Talk!"

"Come on! Whoever is afraid of whom!"
