The lottery was opened, because Ma Wu's shop is not on the road with a large flow of people, in the alley, so the people who come to buy lottery tickets are nearby neighbors, and the sales are not high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After driving for a while, Ma Wu began to worry about lottery points. It's not because there are few customers, but because after selling for half a year, I have only won a few third prizes, and I haven't seen a single grand prize.

At that time, most of the people who played the lottery were old players, and they had been playing for a long time, in addition to studying probability, studying ball games, studying lottery luck, and also began to study feng shui, where to buy easy feng shui. This is purely psychological, but gamblers tend to take these illusory things very seriously. For example, Lao Cui of Miantao Hutong, every day when he wakes up, he writes down the things in his dream to see what numbers can be analyzed, and chooses these numbers when he buys lottery tickets. There is also Uncle Zhao from our alley, who is in his sixties and is hooked on the lottery. He tamed two Huang Qiao'er, and every day he put pieces of paper with numbers written on them in front of the bird cage and let the two birds choose, but only they know whether these methods are useful or not.

But Ma Wu's lottery point has not produced a decent prize for half a year, and the old lottery fans are rumored to be Ma Wu's store Feng Shui is not good, which affects everyone's luck. There are more old residents in this area came out to solve their doubts, saying that the miscellaneous courtyard behind the Ma Wu store, before the liberation lived a willow widow, was the widow of a wealthy merchant, remarried three times, in that yard in the dead of three husbands, some died of illness, some ran outside to trade so that the horse bandits harmed, and one was more evil, at noon at home dinner, a bowl of hot noodles, the bowl was too hot to hold, the hot soup fell on the feet, flashed back, stumbled on the threshold, smashed his head on the stone steps, broke a big mouth like a cup, the blood could not stop, and he died that night. Eating a bowl of hot noodle soup is dead, this yard makes Widow Liu too evil, Ma Wu's shop is open there, can feng shui be good?

As soon as this statement came out, the neighbors would rather run two more stops to buy lottery tickets than go to Ma Wu. Seeing that the business plummeted, Ma Wu was only in a hurry, he listened to the words of the old lottery player, offered the God of Wealth in the lottery spot, put a fish pot at the door, hung a colorful flag in the house, and almost made a small temple, but there was still no use for birds.

When Ma Wu was a little desperate and ready to close the lottery spot, there was no endless road, and in the spring of 97, the lottery pointed out a first prize. Because the grand prize of that issue was vacant, there were only 30 first prizes in the country, so the prize money of the first prize was as high as 270,000 yuan. This first prize made the lottery point raise its eyebrows overnight.

But to Ma Wu's surprise, the winner was not an old lottery player he was familiar with, and he couldn't even remember who this person was. Fortunately, there are not many people who come to buy lottery tickets, Ma Wu recalled carefully, and vaguely remembered that the person was a rented guest from other places, with an accent like a Hebei person, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a pair of black-edged eyes, and a polite appearance, what attracted Ma Wu's attention was that the person always carried an old-fashioned black handbag in his hand, and he did not leave his body.

In the nineties, the lottery counted the jackpot, and there was an unwritten rule. Although the winning prize has to go to the city lottery redemption center, but the winner has to go to the point of sale to buy a lottery ticket to stamp a seal, and the sales station owner will prepare a 10,000 ring whip in advance, begging for a lottery, naturally the winner will also give the boss a red envelope of 18,000 to show gratitude.

Ma Wu really didn't do it for the red envelope that day, he put 20,000 rings, just to let the surrounding neighbors know that his lottery ticket stood up for the jackpot. Unexpectedly, the Hebei people who were waiting for him to stamp in the store didn't cover the seal when they heard the sound of firecrackers, and hurriedly left with their bags. made Ma Wu stupid at the door, thinking that the people of Hebei did not want to make this color.

I never thought that that night, when Ma Wuzheng was closing the store on the door board, Hebei people quietly flashed into the store. Before Ma Wu could react, the Hebei people had already handed over a thick red envelope, Ma Wuyi touched it, at least three thousand, and swallowed back the words that wanted to ask him two sentences.

The Hebei people seemed to see through Ma Wu's thoughts, and explained apologetically while handing over the winning ticket. Saying that he is not a local, he does a small business in Beijing, and often runs on both sides, so he rents a private house in the nearby Yingcai Hutong. He is not familiar with this place, the lottery ticket is occasionally bought to play, I don't want to win a first prize, I am worried that the winning thing will be passed out, causing some unnecessary trouble, and when I go out, I always have to pay more attention to it, right?

So today, as soon as Ma Wu's firecrackers were released, he was startled, so he had to leave in a hurry first, without saying hello to Ma Wu in advance, and asking Ma Wu for forgiveness.

Hebei people say that there are too many timid and cautious people in the world, and the unhappiness before Ma Wu has disappeared. What surprised Ma Wu was that after helping the Hebei people complete the formalities, the Hebei people walked out of the store and came back, and asked Ma Wu very seriously, he won the lottery again, Ma Wu could keep it secret for him, and he would buy lottery tickets here for Ma Wu in the future.

Ma Wu nodded subconsciously, watching the backs of Hebei people disappear into the alley, and couldn't help laughing, "Win the lottery in the future?" Could it be that Hebei people regard buying lottery tickets as visiting the vegetable market, and they can win if they buy them?

This grand prize has caused a lot of sensation in the left near, and the statement about the bad feng shui of the Ma Wu lottery is naturally silent. After that, more people came to buy, and the base went up, and the jackpot naturally came out of a few. And the Hebei people have also become frequent visitors to the lottery point, but only Ma Wu is more familiar, and other old lottery players are rarely seen. Because the Hebei people always come when the lottery is about to close, buy the lottery ticket and leave, and never communicate with other people.

A few months later, Ma Wu and the Hebei people are more familiar, knowing that this person's surname is Zhang, it turned out to be a teacher in a key middle school in Shijiazhuang, resigned two years ago and went to the sea, what to do in Beijing, Ma Wu is not clear, only feel that he usually goes out early and returns late, and often runs between the two places, which seems very busy. But at that time, although the salary of middle school teachers was not high, the income of extracurricular cram schools every year was a lot, Ma Wu was still a little surprised, this Lao Zhang didn't know what big business to do, and he didn't want an iron job.

Ma Wu is a person who is usually rough and big, and never takes small things to heart, and the accounts in the store are handed over to his wife Lu Xiaojuan to manage. Lu Xiaojuan is very careful, and she is also very economical, the key is that she will come to things, and if she buys a large amount of money from the regular customers in the store, she occasionally sends packs of cigarettes, bottles of water, and sends some couplets and window flowers during the New Year's holidays, which can be regarded as primary maintenance of large customers.

Later, there were more lottery players who bought lottery tickets, and they couldn't remember it clearly, so Lu Xiaojuan gave the regular customers a code name, and then corresponded to the purchase records on the computer. After that, I taught myself the statistical software on the computer and made a very practical customer file by myself.

In the autumn of ninety-seven years, Lu Xiaojuan and Ma Wu had dinner and chatted, and told Ma Wu that she was idle, and pulled the purchase and winning data of the big customers in this year, and found a strange phenomenon.

Ma Wu flipped through it casually, but didn't see anything unusual. Five pieces of paper listed a total of more than 200 large customers, in order of how many purchases, the most bought seven or eight, the total number is about the same, the most spent a year 17,800, most of them bought one or two thousand a year, but the least spent one only bought 84 lottery tickets this year.

"Wife, how can I be included in the list of major customers after only buying eighty-four yuan this year? Ma Wu smiled and made an opinion.

Lu Xiaojuan didn't speak, and handed another piece of paper to Ma Wu, Ma Wu looked at it again, it was the record of winning the lottery point, ranking first, with a total prize of more than 390,000.

Ma Wu looked at it and said: "Wife, those broken mouths also said that the feng shui of our store is not good, I think we are a treasure of feng shui here, the winning amount is about to catch up with the sales of the previous year, which lottery point can compare?"

The first place has only won the first prize three times in total, and the other small prizes have not been won, and the second one has spent more than 10,000 yuan a year, won the first prize once, won the second prize once, and won countless other small prizes, but the total winning amount accumulated is only 21,000 yuan.

The point is that the person who took the 370,000 prize money only bought 84 lottery tickets for the whole year. The mark made by Lu Xiaojuan in that column is zls.

"Who is this ZLS?" Ma Wu's brain was a little big at this time.

"It's the math teacher in Hebei. Lu Xiaojuan moved the stool to Ma Wu's side, and whispered: "Ma Wu, that person is too evil, occasionally winning the first prize is luck, spending eighty out of three first prizes, it's not normal, will we follow the stall?" Ma Wu heard his daughter-in-law's voice trembling a little, but he suddenly realized something, didn't care about comforting her, stood up and jumped to the computer.

Ma Wu remembered at this time, that Hebei Lao Zhang asked him to keep the jackpot secret, Ma Wu thought it was a joke, but not long after that time, Lao Zhang won the first prize again, Ma Wu kept his promise, did not set off firecrackers, did not pull banners, and even did not say anything about the neighbors who came to buy lottery tickets.

After that issue, there was an old lottery player in Ma Wu here won a first prize, the lottery player bought a lottery ticket for three years, basically the period does not fall, it turned out to be a note two notes to buy, and then addicted, a often buy one or two hundred notes, the number chosen is not the same, so that Ma Wu's daughter-in-law has to play an hour's ticket for him.

Ma Wu understands that for this person, it doesn't matter how much money he wins, what matters is the first time. It must be one thing, and waiting for three years unremittingly is a rhythm that will drive everyone crazy.

Although the lottery player won the first prize, but that issue of the country out of more than 600 first prizes, the bonus is only more than 10,000 yuan, but the old lottery player was stunned in his own yard to set up a flowing water seat, the neighborhood is all invited, seafood and mountain delicacies are all on the board, the treat spent more than 5,000, just to win the jackpot happy once.

But that Hebei Lao Zhang, who won the first prize three times, for fear of letting others know, and if he didn't steal or rob, how could he be like a thief?

The way of the husband is like the burden of the earth, like the hanging of the sky. No day without complaining, no one without deceiving, resenting without anger, deceiving from me, and then all things know where they belong. --"The Book of Transformation")
