What does it mean to open a pawnshop with one shake, two strikes, three strikes and four strikes?

The phrase "one barrel is poor, two barrels are rich, and three barrels and four barrels open a pawnshop" means that in the future, one barrel is poor, two barrels are rich, and three barrels are rich enough to open a pawnshop at home.

In rural areas, buckets are tools for holding things. A dustpan is a tool for sieving things. So a bucket and a dustpan, one collects things and the other sifts things. The more fights you have, the more things you can take and the more wealth you will have in the future. A dustpan means to screen out everything, so people with many fingerprints can't save money.

Folk proverb
