Is the 一 second tone? or is 一 always 1st tone in mainland China?
Mandarin Blueprint
Tone sandhi rule! 一 before a fourth tone (e.g., 共 gòng) changes to 2nd tone.

"宝贝儿不小心丢掉了口袋里所有的钱,一共好几百块。" Can you please explain a little what the "好" is doing in this sentence?
Mandarin Blueprint
I updated the translation, because 几百 is "a few hundred" and 好几百 is "quite a few hundred." The 好 is used to add more to the estimate.
