The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 180
"How many sticks are there in this bucket of sticks?"

Liu Renyi glanced at the brand new bucket, made an estimate and asked, "It should be forty or fifty?"

"Fifty sticks is about right, there will be a few deviations per barrel."

Zhang Shan, who had filled the bucket himself, replied.

"Then I'll just smoke the new ones, and you can take the old ones."

As he spoke, Liu Renyi pushed aside the bucket of lottery tickets that contained less than ten lottery tickets, and then held the two new buckets of lottery tickets into his arms like a baby.

"Guest, I have to remind you,"

Zhang Shan, who originally didn't want to say anything, finally gritted his teeth and said, "We have just opened, so there is no way we can fake it, but in the future, we won't be able to guarantee that others will secretly take the lottery back and fake a grand prize, so we The rules must be adhered to. Draws and prize redemptions must be done at our counter. They cannot be redeemed outside the counter.”

"understand,"

Liu Renyi, who is a businessman himself, nodded and said nonchalantly, "I'll just smoke it here, shopkeeper, don't worry."

"As long as you don't mind, sir,"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be dissatisfied, Zhang Shan instantly let go of his worried heart, "Don't worry, sir, as long as you don't leave the counter, I will redeem the big prize for you as soon as possible without any shirk!"

"Then let's make an agreement. If I really win the big prize, don't drag your feet and shirk it for several days, and finally say there is something wrong and refuse to redeem it."

As he spoke, Liu Renyi turned to look at the strangers beside him, "Everyone, please testify for me."

"Don't worry, everyone is watching."

Seeing Liu Renyi pumping a hundred times at a time, the other passers-by who were watching were also extremely excited.

Although there are some differences between watching others draw lots and drawing lots themselves, this does not prevent them from joining in the fun.

"Okay! Then I'll start pumping!"

Liu Renyi moved his neck, hands and ankles, and then lifted up the sleeves on his arms.

"The first one is, a small prize? Look, it turns out that a new bucket will bring good luck,"

After seeing the handwriting at the bottom of the lot clearly, Liu Renyi suddenly became excited, "Let me see what the small prize is. Okay, it's only three, which is a little better than the lucky prize."

Although it was only a small prize of three, a mere twenty coins, it was still a good start.

Afterwards, Liu Renyi grabbed a handful of sticks with anticipation and looked at them together.

Empty prize, empty prize, empty prize.

After winning three empty prizes in a row, Liu Renyi felt a little restless.

"Hey! I can't believe it!"

Looking at the remaining three lottery tickets in my hand, I finally got a lucky prize, but unfortunately it also came with two empty prizes.

In other words, five of the six lots just now were empty.

"Whoo~"

Liu Renyi let out a long breath, and the enthusiasm that had just surged into his heart cooled down. He directly pushed back the other bucket of lottery tickets that had not yet been drawn, "Boss, please help me see how many have been won in this bucket." , if you let me see these two barrels, I’m afraid I’ll be pissed to death.”

"Well, okay."

Zhang Shan nodded, reached out and took the bucket of lottery tickets, and then began to check the winning status under the eyes of everyone.

The first one won the lucky prize, the second one won the small prize three, and the third one won the small prize two.

Three consecutive winning numbers made Zhang Shan frown.

Could it be that when I first installed the lottery, I forgot to mix in the empty prize?

Shouldn't it?He remembers that he first filled a certain number of empty prizes, and then added lots with prizes inside.

According to the master, the big prize and the first, second and third prizes are eliminated first, then the lucky prizes, small prizes and empty prizes are put into the bucket according to a certain proportion, and finally the previously eliminated big prizes and first, second and third prizes are put into the bucket. The winning prizes are randomly added to the lottery bucket.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible to win all the prizes.

After seeing that the fourth lottery was an empty prize, Zhang Shan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the master said that the probability of winning small prizes and lucky prizes should be increased in the first month, so it is normal to have multiple small prizes and lucky prizes in a row.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Shan continued to confirm the winning status of the remaining lots.

"Unexpectedly, there was only one small prize one and one small prize two, and the rest were small prize three and lucky prizes."

After reading the last sign in his hand, Liu Renyi sighed.

This probability of winning is not as good as drawing the old lottery bucket from before.

He spent one tael of silver to draw two barrels, equivalent to one barrel of [-] wen.

The reward he received was only 350 coins. If you include the ten lucky prizes, you only lost about [-] coins.

But the problem is, he came to draw money with the hope of making money, so why did he draw less and less every time he drew?

"Shopkeeper, how many hits did you get in this bucket you showed me?"

Liu Renyi glanced at the three or two buckets of lottery tickets left in front of the shopkeeper, and grabbed them all. Sure enough, they were all empty prizes.

"I should have made some money."

Zhang Shan put the small prize three in his hand into the pile of winning lottery tickets and said.

"Huh? Did you make money?"

Hearing this, Liu Renyi was a little surprised.

He originally thought that this bucket should be similar to his own bucket, and both lost thirty or fifty cash, or even one hundred and eighty cash, but he didn't expect that he still made a profit?

"This bucket has a total of two small prize threes, two small prizes two, and seven small prize threes."

After Zhang Shan glanced at the notes he just jotted down, he replied, "The total number of these lottery tickets is 740, and there are also four lucky lottery tickets."

"740 Wen?"

Liu Renyi did a quick calculation in his mind.

The 740 coins plus the 250 coins I just drew are a total of [-] coins.

It actually happened to be the cost of my own lottery draw? !
You know, this doesn’t count the extra fourteen lucky draws!
"I won 350 coins in this bucket and ten lucky prizes."

After calculating clearly, Liu Renyi's tightened brows relaxed in an instant, with a smile still on his face, "In other words, these fourteen extra lucky draws are equivalent to my extra money. Come on, , Shopkeeper, give me those fourteen more lots, I want to see how much I can make today!"

"Guest, how many sticks are there in these two buckets? I haven't ordered them yet,"

With that said, Zhang Shan pointed helplessly at the first bucket of lottery tickets, "And isn't there still more than half of the bucket of lottery tickets?"

"Okay, I'll just draw from this bucket. I'll ask the shopkeeper to check how many sticks there were in the two buckets and how much money was won in total."

Liu Renyi waved his hand nonchalantly, counted fourteen more sticks from the bucket, and picked them up in one wash.

"Two small prizes, three and four lucky prizes,"

After seeing the handwriting at the bottom of the lottery ticket clearly, Liu Renyi felt himself starting to get irritated again, "What's going on? I'm going to have trouble with the lucky prize today, right? Come again!"

With that said, Liu Renyi grabbed four more sticks.A small prize of three, an empty prize, and two lucky prizes.

"You're still here? I don't believe it!"

Liu Renyi gritted his teeth and drew out two more lucky prizes.

But this time, both of them were empty prizes.

"Forget it, let's just say it's an empty prize. I'd rather see an empty prize than see that lucky prize again."

Liu Renyi shook his head and put together the three small prizes and six lucky prizes he had just drawn.

And those three small prizes of sixty cents were the result of his hard work for so long.

No, in addition to the later [-] coins, he also took [-] coins at the beginning. In other words, this morning, he only made a mere [-] coins?
"Guest, you have already calculated. You did a good calculation just now. You did win [-] coins plus fourteen lucky prizes."

Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"I just used a few more lucky draws to draw these. You can order more."

Liu Renyi pushed all the empty lots and prize lots over and sighed, "After working for so long, I only won [-] cents. It's not worth it."

"Guest, normally, if you draw a large number of lottery tickets, your capital will indeed become smaller and smaller. If you can earn twenty coins, it means you are lucky."

Zhang Shan said sincerely, "Even casinos have commissions. Naturally, our lottery shop cannot do good deeds and give money to people in vain. You should be like the customer who just won the third prize and only draw three prizes every day." Five times, if you win the big prize, you will be happy, but if you don’t win, you won’t lose much.”

As a businessman, Liu Renyi naturally understood this truth. He sighed and said: "Shopkeeper, you are an honest person, and what you said makes sense, but I really don't have that luck!"

"By the way, guest, the two buckets of lottery tickets you just drew total 98 lottery tickets, and you paid [-] cash, which means you are still short of drawing one lottery ticket."

Zhang Shan, who almost forgot about the conversation, said quickly.

"One less?"

Liu Renyi suddenly became interested again and rubbed his hands vigorously, "I think this bad one must be a big prize!"

"Yeah, what a coincidence, just missing one. This one must be a big prize."

Zhang Shan agreed.

"It's you!"

Liu Renyi spotted the stick in the bucket at a glance and grabbed it straight away.

"Why is it still a lucky prize??!"

Liu Renyi threw the lottery on the counter in frustration, and said helplessly, "Shopkeeper, do you have too many lucky lottery tickets in this store?"

"Have it?"

Shitou, who had been looking at it and said little, scratched his head, "I feel like the three small prizes are quite a lot. In the whole bucket that Brother Zhang just opened, the three small prizes are more than the lucky prizes."

"Maybe the lucky prize favors me."

Liu Renyi was even more helpless.

This time he didn't even bother to choose, so he just randomly drew a lot.

"Three words? Another lucky prize?"

Liu Renyi frowned, and was about to throw it on the counter and smoke another one, when he suddenly felt that the handwriting didn't seem right.

Doesn’t it seem like a lucky prize?
Thinking of this, he quickly looked at the bottom of the lottery ticket again, and his eyes widened instantly.

"second prize?!!"

"I actually won the second prize?"

"Shopkeeper! How many taels of silver is the second prize? Come on, come on, come on, tell me!"

Liu Renyi squeezed the sign with his right hand and shouted excitedly.

Everyone who had been watching the excitement had already reached the door of the store. When they heard that Liu Renyi actually won the second prize, they immediately ran over from the door.

"The second prize is thirty taels of silver, guest."

Zhang Shan gave the answer without any hesitation.

"Thirty taels? Oh my god?! Doesn't this mean I get one month's salary directly?!"

"Wow! I wish I had such good luck. I just drew once and it wasn't even a lucky prize."

"They just took out a tael of silver to draw. Do you have the courage?"

"What's wrong with one tael of silver? When I get paid this month, I'll take one tael at a time!"

"Don't, don't, don't, didn't the shopkeeper say that? If you smoke too much at one time, the capital will only become less and less. You should smoke a few times occasionally, that's right!"

"Hmph! What do you know? One tael of silver can be drawn a hundred times! Not to mention the second prize, as long as I win a third prize, my capital will be back, and the rest will be for nothing!"

The three or four people around the counter were envious, discussing and fantasizing enthusiastically.

"Huh~ I finally won the big prize. I didn't waste my time or my feelings in vain."

After confirming again and again that he had read it correctly, Liu Renyi waved his hand and handed over the lottery ticket with the second prize printed on the bottom.

"Let me see,"

Zhang Shan took the sign and first looked at the anti-counterfeiting scratches on the lower side without leaving any trace. After confirming that the number of scratches corresponded to the wood and the award, he looked at the bottom - it was indeed the second prize.

"Guest, please wait a moment, I will exchange it for you right now."

Zhang Shan took out a bunch of keys, opened the drawer on the right, took out three small banknotes worth three taels, then put them together and handed them to Liu Renyi, "Guest, this is your winning ticket." Reward for second prize.”

Although the wooden tag wrapped under the tassel is also engraved with anti-counterfeiting scratches, looking at it now, there is no need to verify it at all.

In fact, the anti-counterfeiting scratches I just looked at are somewhat unnecessary.

First of all, the other party conducted the lottery and redeemed the prizes in front of the counter without leaving his sight.

Secondly, even if you make a fake, you have to wait at least two or three days. No matter how fast it is, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. Only those fakers can make fakes, right?
The reason why he looked at the anti-counterfeiting scratches was to develop a habit.

"Hey~ This reward redemption is really efficient. It's much more refreshing than paying my wages!"

"I received the prize from the shopkeeper and exchanged it for a silver note. I'm afraid it doesn't even cost five cents, right? After all, it's only three taels of silver, and it was redeemed so easily? Isn't this a fault?"

"Isn't that how the one tael of silver was redeemed just now?"

"That's different. There's a big difference between one tael and three taels. Just like your monthly salary of three taels of silver and someone else's monthly salary of nine taels. It's not an exaggeration to say that there is a huge difference. ."

"Your grandma's, it sounds like how much your monthly salary is. Isn't it only two hundred more than me?"

"Isn't two hundred too much? The two hundred I have can cut several kilograms of meat."

Seeing two big prizes being taken away in front of them, the others suddenly felt itchy. The one who didn't win also planned to win once, and the one who did win planned to win again.

"Yes, the shopkeeper, you are a cheerful person, and you don't have to worry about things."

Looking at the brand-new three taels of silver notes in his hand, Liu Renyi nodded with great satisfaction, "Just because of your enthusiasm, I will definitely introduce all my friends to come and play."
