Chapter 47

The newly opened restaurant is called Deyilou, and its facade is very grand. The entire three floors are owned by it. It is located on the most prosperous street in Le'an County. It can be seen that the owner of the restaurant is not short of money or power, so he opened it.

The lottery must be good, otherwise it would not attract so many people and block the entire road.

Neither Qin Shan nor Qin He liked to join in the fun. Seeing that the open space in front of the restaurant was crowded with people, they were worried that the crowd would cause chaos, so they did not go there. Instead, they went to the teahouse on the second floor opposite and deliberately chose a seat by the window.

Qin Xiaoxiao could see enough of the location.

If it weren't for taking care of his daughter, Qin Shan would not be willing to spend more than 100 yuan to enter the teahouse. But looking at the smile on his daughter's face, he felt that the money was well spent!

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao is sensible enough and knows how hard it is for her parents to raise her. She will never rely on her parents' love to indulge her words and deeds, otherwise she will be spoiled into an annoying brat sooner or later.

"Dad, Third Uncle, it's so lively!" Qin Xiaoxiao was sitting by the window with her hands on the window sill, looking at the bustling scene below with relish. Especially the noisy gongs and drums, which made her curious about how special it was.

How does the sound come out?

"This is nothing. When someone in the city invites an opera troupe to sing a big opera, it will be lively!" Qin Shan stuffed a small piece of snacks into his daughter's mouth, fed her some water, and told her about rich people.

If you invite an opera troupe to perform for your birthday, many people will come from the countryside to watch the opera at night.

There are too few entertainment options for ordinary people. For example, people who have lived in the countryside all their lives may have never set foot in a county town. For them, listening to a play is like a child looking forward to the Chinese New Year, and even staying up without sleeping to watch a play.

Qin Xiaoxiao had never seen such excitement before. She clenched her little fists and said with great ambition: "I must save money and save a lot of money. When my grandparents celebrate their birthdays, I will invite the opera troupe to the village to sing a big opera."

!”

Thinking of a scene even more lively than what she saw before her, she felt happy.

"Haha, okay, my daughter is filial and ambitious!"

Humph, he should show those gossipy women in the village that his daughter from Qinshan is worthy of being protected and pampered by the whole family.

Qin He had the same idea as his elder brother, and looked at his niece lovingly. He knew very well that these words came from his niece's heart, and were not taught to her by anyone.

Compared with the niece in the family who also has a more sophisticated heart than others, the niece who has a sincere heart at a young age is more sincerely liked.

Just as they were talking, the sound of gongs and drums in Deyi Building opposite stopped, and a group of people appeared on the third floor terrace.

The person leading the charge was a middle-aged man wearing a silver crown and brocade. He looked very imposing. Everyone present had no doubt that he was the owner of Deyilou.

However, this person is not the owner, he is just a big steward who takes care of Deyilou for the real owner.

However, Qin Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes found an acquaintance standing behind the big steward, and excitedly said to her father: "Uncle, he is the good uncle who bought all our eggs!"

Qin Shan also discovered this when she spoke out, and replied with a smile: "It's that good uncle. It seems that he is the purchasing manager of this Deyi Building, so he bought our things in one go."

When Qin He was shopping, he heard his eldest brother tell him about the business that he did in the morning. He smiled when he heard this: "What a coincidence."

Qin Shan nodded, it was indeed a coincidence. Fortunately, he met this big buyer. Otherwise, he would be squatting on the street selling eggs under the bright sun. How could he sit in a teahouse and watch the excitement with his daughter like he is now.

In the Deyi Building opposite, the big manager said some flattering words in advance. Amidst the crackling firecrackers, he took off the red silk covering the plaque "Deyi Building" and then cheered warmly.

In the voice, he told the people present about the lucky draw from the opening of Deyi Building.

The general idea is that there are three prizes for the opening of Deyi Building, namely eighty-eight cents, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight cents and eighty-eight taels of silver. These eights add up to exactly eight eights.

meaning.

As long as the people below can catch the sixty-six small signs he dropped from the third floor later, they will be eligible to win the lottery and have the opportunity to receive a minimum of eighty-eight cents and a maximum of eighty-eight taels of silver.

When the steward mentioned eighty-eight cents, the people downstairs did not react much. When they heard eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight cents, they all stretched their necks and looked at him eagerly.

I can't wait to start immediately. After waiting for the eighty-eight taels of silver to come out, everyone is excited, breathing heavily, and their faces are red.

Even Qin Shan and Qin He were shocked by De Yilou's generosity and almost overturned the tea in hand.

Money moves people's hearts. Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight Wen is just over eighty taels of silver, enough to feed a family of five for a year. Not to mention eighty-eight taels of silver. For ordinary people,

It's an astronomical amount of money that most people will never be able to earn in their entire lives.

"Dad, they look so happy!" Qin Xiaoxiao had no idea about eighty-eight taels of silver. Seeing that the atmosphere downstairs suddenly changed, she couldn't help but ask her father in confusion.

Qin Shan came back to his senses and used easy-to-understand metaphors to explain to his daughter how much eighty-eight taels of silver was, and then explained why those people were happy: "The lottery from Deyilou is so rich, as long as they have the chance to get such a big

With a little money, you can do something you want to do.”

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned by the purchasing power of eighty-eight taels of silver. She thought of another thing and asked with bright eyes: "Dad, can eighty-eight taels of silver invite a troupe to sing a big opera?"

Qin Shan thought she was just curious and replied casually: "Of course, at most thirty taels of silver can send them to the countryside to perform in a three-day opera."

After hearing this, the little girl became even more excited. She jumped down from the stool, took the hands of the two adults and walked out: "Dad, third uncle, let's go down and ask for the lottery!"

When Qin Shan heard this, he almost choked on his tea. He was about to say that with so many people, it would be difficult for them to get lucky, but suddenly he thought of his daughter's strong luck, and fell silent for a moment.

Unable to resist the aroused interest of the little girl, Qin Shan and Qin He had no choice but to accompany her downstairs.

But there were too many people vying for the prize in front of Deyilou. The brothers were worried that Qin Xiaoxiao would be squeezed in, so they refused to let her get into the crowd, so they stood by the steps of the tea house and watched.

Qin Shan thought that it would be nice to get a lucky draw, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't get it. There was no loss anyway, but if his precious daughter was squeezed out, the gain would outweigh the loss.
