Chapter 106 Winning the Prize
“Ah, I won the prize, I won the prize.”
The lottery process of this issue of the welfare lottery is being broadcast live on TV. After the lottery is completed and all seven numbers are announced, Lao Dou shouted excitedly, applauding while shouting back.
"Old Dou, are you possessed?" Azu said in disgust without hearing what the excited Old Dou was shouting.
Old Dou pointed at the TV screen and said happily: "What's the matter? I won the lottery."
"What prize did you win?" Everyone asked casually, thinking that Lao Dou only won a consolation prize of five or ten yuan. "I won the first prize." Unexpectedly, Lao Dou made a shocking statement and confused everyone.
The second guy listened to the host on TV talking about the first prize of five million, and asked with a dull look on his face: "Old Dou, did you get a slap in the face? First prize?" Old Dou insisted that it was Won the jackpot.
"Do you believe him? If he won the prize, he would still be so sober?" The old lady is sober in the world. Lao Dou was not convinced, "Uncle, I can't win the lottery? Do you dare to bet?"
My mother also started to believe it when she saw Lao Dou's vow. She put away the sweater she was knitting, walked to Lao Dou and said excitedly: "Uncle, have you really won the first prize?" Lao Dou didn't say anything, and just kept laughing. The mother completely believed it, and she fainted with excitement and fell onto the chair next to her. The second sister-in-law hurriedly went over to help the mother, while the boss Guang was in a hurry to find the medicinal oil.
The boss just found the medicated oil and came back and asked the second sister-in-law to wipe the mother’s head. It was not easy for the mother to wake up. Then he asked Lao Dou: "Why is Lao Dou so sober?"
"Of course, as the saying goes, the old is the hotter." Lao Dou began to brag.
"Old Dou, my mother is not an old ginger, but she also has ginger juice, so she is dizzy." Azu also started to talk nonsense. "Old Dou, you won the jackpot, and you still have four million left after paying taxes. Wow, Old Dou, you are so prosperous." Kang Qirui said with a smile.
As soon as everyone heard that it was four million, they all began to discuss how the money should be spent. "Don't argue, don't argue. Your mother is like this. What are you talking about?" Lao Dou He stopped everyone's discussion and looked at the old lady with concern.
"Old Dou, mother is fine. She was just temporarily dazzled by the victory. It's nothing serious." Azu was still more concerned about how to spend the huge sum of money. "That's right, Mom, now that you are rich, you won't have to suffer anymore. From now on, you and Lao Dou can go to the teahouse to drink tea and eat shrimp dumplings and eat roast goose every day." The boss shouted to the half-awake and half-conscious old woman. road.
“Oh, let’s roast goose at the teahouse. In my opinion, look in the newspaper right away to see where there is a trip around the world.” Azu thought how much it would cost to eat roast goose, so he might as well go out and have fun. "But remember to take us with you. This is what I dream of doing."
"Master," the second sister-in-law shouted, and then said tremblingly: "Master, I don't have any high demands, I just want to..." The second sister-in-law was so nervous that she stuttered when she spoke, and she couldn't explain what she wanted for a long time.
The second brother saw the dissatisfied look of his second sister-in-law and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I know what you want. Isn't it just to buy a foreign house and raise a dog, and then find a demon to look at it? At the door." The second sister-in-law nodded, and then added: "And, there are two diamond necklaces."
A Yao also said quickly: "Old Dou, they all have a share. , you can’t leave me alone. I just thought." Before he could say anything, Lao Dou reached out and interrupted him, "Do you think Lao Dou is opening a gold mine? "
" You are right, Lao Dou, you are a gold mine," Azu responded with a smile.
Lao Dou waved his hand and told the truth, "Fortunately, I just simulated winning the lottery this time." Everyone was confused by Lao Dou for the second time tonight. Simulating winning? Did you hit it? "Are you joking?" Mom also woke up at this time.
"Can't you afford it?" Lao Dou told him all about his plan. "Recently, I have been studying the probability of winning the lottery. If I pretend to buy lottery tickets, I won't have to spend money. If I win, I will be happy. If I don't win, I won't lose money." So that’s it? Everyone was overjoyed and started blaming Lao Dou one after another.
Two days later, Kang Qirui received a call from his boss Guang when he got off work, asking him to go directly to a restaurant on the street for dinner after work. He and Xianglan would treat everyone to a meal tonight. Kang Qirui looked at the calendar. This is not a big day. Why treat him to dinner? He didn't think too much and went to the hospital to pick up Zhu Wanling. After get off work, he went home to put down his things and change clothes before going to the restaurant.
When Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling arrived, others were already drinking tea. Seeing Kang Qirui come in, the boss just picked up the menu and said to everyone: "Let's order when everyone is here. See what you like to eat?"
"Then I'm not welcome. "Azu took the menu and teased Daguang, "How about a pound of shrimp first?" Lao Dou thought that Azu was serious and quickly grabbed the menu from Azu, "Well, let's have some soup first. The stewed tofu is good, and the stir-fried pork intestines with pickles are also good. Let’s have some fried eggs with cold melon. "Sister Jiao, it’s better to eat them at home." Azu didn't want the boss to just spend a lot of money, but the food he ordered was too shabby, so he said something unhappy.
The mother quickly smoothed things over and said, "It's just a treat for the boss to have dinner. Do you think your boss is inviting him to a meal?" Lao Dou's mother felt sorry for her eldest son. She knew that the eldest son didn't have much money, so she just wanted to eat whatever he wanted. "It doesn't matter, Mom, we haven't invited the whole family to dinner for a long time. This is the first time. It's up to you. The most important thing is to be happy." The boss just took the menu from Lao Dou's hand. He handed it to Azu. They didn't serve wine during their wedding. This was really the first time they invited everyone to dinner. He also wanted everyone to eat well.
"Aguang, today is not your and Xianglan's birthday, nor is it their wedding anniversary, why waste it so much?" Mom asked. Kang Qirui was also curious about this question, On the other hand, Azu didn't take it seriously, "This is normal, or the boss just wanted to treat him to dinner on a whim."
"I know, it must be." The second sister-in-law said half of it but didn't Said. Everyone looked at the second sister-in-law speechlessly. The second sister-in-law explained: "I originally thought that the eldest sister-in-law was pregnant, but I didn't think it looked like it, so I didn't say anything."
"Don't guess, I Let’s just talk about it.” Boss Guang stopped everyone from continuing the discussion and said bluntly: “It’s like this. I wanted to go to the canteen to buy a drink at noon today, but I saw a man arguing with the boss. I went over and asked about it. The man wanted to buy 10 lottery tickets, but the boss gave him 11. In order to stop them from quarreling, I bought the extra ticket, and I won the prize.”
"Did you win the lottery?" Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Is this the so-called good intentions that pay off? Then everyone asked how much money Big Brother Guang had won, but Big Brother Guang asked everyone to guess.
“Fifty thousand?” Azu guessed. The boss just shook his head and said no. But he was right to add five words.
“Boss, you don’t want to tell us that you won fifty-five, right?” The second guy said excitedly. Ayao didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "The price I bought at the canteen is only five thousand yuan at best."
"Could it be five million?" the second sister-in-law also guessed. Xianglan said at this time, "Yes, it's five hundred thousand." Her Cantonese was not standard, and her listening was not standard either. She meant to say five hundred mosquitoes, but she said five million. The second sister-in-law said five million, but she thought it was five hundred mosquitoes. This has resulted in the current misunderstanding.
Everyone was shocked. Two days ago, Lao Dou simulated winning a lottery of five million, and now the boss really won five million? "No, no, everyone, please listen clearly. I was hit by 500 mosquitoes, not the 5 million she said." Boss Guang explained quickly.
"Oh, five hundred yuan, right?" Lao Dou was a little disappointed. He just thought that his eldest son had finally become rich. Kang Qirui thought for a while and said, "Boss, what do you think of the business of this restaurant? How do these dishes look like?" When they were talking just now, the waiter had already served the dishes.
“Business is very good.” The boss looked at the crowds outside and said, “But these dishes are just so-so. As Azu said, they are not as good as Sister Jiao’s cooking. "
"Then what do you think about us opening a shop and letting Sister Jiao be the chef?" Kang Qirui continued to ask. Before the big brother could react, the second brother became interested first, "Hey, what a good idea. The catering industry is so good now, and Jiao Jiao's gestures are excellent. It's like two swords combined. There's something to be done, but opening a restaurant It costs a lot of money?”
“Instead of opening a restaurant, open a tea restaurant.” Kang Qirui said to the second brother, and then said to the big brother, “Now the Gangcheng and Wanwan areas are very busy. This tea restaurant is popular, the business is very good, and the profit is high. How about I pay for you and your sister-in-law to open a tea restaurant?”
Kang Qirui wants to open a tea restaurant in the true sense of the word. It's not the Ruhao Tea Restaurant originally opened by the second brother and second sister-in-law. Of course, it can be called this. Strictly speaking, the restaurant opened by the second brother in the original story should be considered a Chinese restaurant. How can a tea restaurant be considered a tea restaurant if it doesn’t have dish rice, milk tea, or pineapple buns? There is no fixed menu ABC meal, all are ordered separately, how can it be called a tea restaurant?
Boss Guang quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, how can the two of us do business? And even if I want to do business, I can't take your money." Xianglan was hesitant to speak, Boss Guang They all refused, and she couldn't say anything.
"Sister-in-law has been a store manager for more than half a year, and I think she has done a pretty good job. Why is she not suitable for business? Boss, your honest and honest character is also very suitable for a tea restaurant. The most important thing is whether the food, the ingredients are fresh, and whether the oil is gutter oil. We really think you are the most suitable person to do this." Kang Qirui didn't agree with the boss Guang's statement. He thought carefully.
The promotion of Xianglan to store manager was also a training for her, just for her and the boss Guang to open the store. Clothing and catering are both service industries, and their nature is the same. If you can be a good clothing store manager, you will be the same as a tea restaurant manager. Externally, there is Pandan, internally there is a big boss who only controls the quality, and Sister Jiao guarantees the taste of the dishes. It is difficult for this store to succeed.
"And I'm not giving you money for free. We own shares. Just like the second brother, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law, the same goes for clothing companies. They don't give you money for free." Kang Qirui continued. He explained that he wanted the boss not to have any psychological burden.
"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. I'll go back and think about it." The boss just changed the subject. Kang Qirui didn't expect that he could agree to him right away. This was just to lay the groundwork. .
On the way back from eating, the second brother mysteriously pulled Kang Qirui at the back of the team. He said, "If the big brother doesn't want to do it, I'll do it. How about you put money in and we can do it together?" "Kang Qirui thought about it and still felt that the tea restaurant boss Guang was the most suitable, and the second brother had other ideas, "The tea restaurant is too small, so that is suitable for our Zongda boss. We have big business waiting to discuss with you. The second guy.”
“Really?” The second guy didn’t really believe it. "Of course it's true, but we don't have enough money now, so let's wait a little longer. When the clothing store makes us some more money, we'll start." Kang Qirui knew why the second brother didn't believe it, so he took the initiative to explain.
