She say you start with the flower, you put $500 in the center. Then you put it on the ground and burn it with fire and air. After that, you put water on it to put the fire off. Then all the money will start growing on the flower. And plenty strangers will come 2-2, each one adding $500 to the flower. So where she started with $500, now she will get $8,000 when it grow.

Flomo: So, the serious part, she put the $500 and burn the flower everything. But the strangers not coming to put money on her flower.
Majon: Ah, all the people disappear?
Flomo: No, I think the flower will grow the money, but the strangers got to work with the flower so the money can be plenty.
