Chapter 119 Welfare Lottery 2

At this time, there was a huge prize box on the stage, and there were thousands of small paper cards neatly placed outside the box, and some words were written on the paper cards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, most of the paper cards must have "Thank you for supporting the welfare of the Senate", but there are dozens of them with "Congratulations on winning the dollar". In addition, there are some "congratulations on winning two yuan" and "congratulations on winning five yuan" and the like, and the largest denomination is "congratulations on winning ten yuan".

There is no hexadecimal system in the monetary system of Oriental Port, and at this time it is already a tenth dime, ten jiao and one yuan, and there will be no more sixteen cents for one tael. However, this action was enough for Shui Wangtai and the financial team to spend a lot of time to convert the exchange rate between various different qualities of silver and Senate silver coins, but there was no problem with the implementation at all, after all, this is in the land of thieves, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the local tyrants dare not make trouble in Dongfang Port even if they are not satisfied. What's more, the goods of the thieves are of high quality and low price, not to mention the exquisite workmanship and purity of the silver coins, speaking of which, the sixteen coins of silver in the Wu Dynasty are even less valuable than the one yuan of Dongfang Hong Kong silver coins.

Under the common gaze of everyone, Shui Wangtai personally put these paper cards into the prize box, sealed the prize mouth, and shook the prize box violently.

This prize box is quite large, made of wooden planks, and contains thousands of paper cards, which is quite heavy, if it were not for the fact that Shui Wangtai has been doing coolie work in the ordinary labor group since landing, he may not be able to hold it.

But it's one thing to pick it up, it's another thing to shake the prize box, he had to temporarily select two naturalized people from the audience to come to the stage to help, so he turned the whole prize box upside down and shook it for a while.

After everyone was sure that the paper card inside was already chaotic and irregular, Shui Wangtai stopped touching the shaking of the prize box and opened the mouth of the prize, "In order to thank these two comrades for coming to the stage to help us prepare for the prize, the Welfare Lottery Committee specially allowed them to draw a free lottery!" ”

As he spoke, he motioned for the two naturalized citizens to take a paper card from inside.

The first naturalized citizen was a big boy about ten years old, a little introverted, trembling and saying that he didn't dare, Shui Wangtai finally used the identity of "chief" to order him to touch one before reaching in.

He reached into the box, fumbled for a while, closed his eyes and grabbed a random card and took it out and handed it to Shui Wangtai.

Shui Wangtai was stunned as soon as he took it, "Congratulations on winning the five yuan."

Although five yuan is not a huge amount of money in Dongfang Port at this time, it is definitely not a small amount, if there is no restriction on purchase, this is enough to buy 250 kilograms of rice in Gaode Grain Bank, which is four stones, and a person can eat more than a year and a half.

The naturalized person in front of him didn't know what was going on, but Shui Wangtai cheered loudly: "Good start!" This is the first ticket to be touched! Reward 5 yuan! ”

The crowd of onlookers below suddenly made a fuss, "I just helped to rummage through the box and got five yuan!" "yes, that's good luck!" The people in the audience were talking about it, and they were all praising the good fortune of this naturalized citizen.

The naturalized people who won the lottery also woke up at this time, and it turned out that they had won a large amount of money! A naturalized woman wearing a khaki women's cotton trench coat designed by Xue Man stepped forward, led him to the award acceptance office, and handed him the award with her own hands.

The winner was so excited that his brain was filled with a happy atmosphere, and when he looked down, he realized that he was only holding a piece of paper. This rectangular piece of paper is beautifully printed, with the word "5" printed in the upper left corner, and the whole sheet is printed with a beautiful stripe. The upper left strip is printed with "Senate Bank", the right side is printed with "Five Yuan", and the lower right corner also has the word "5". The edges of the whole paper are full of ribbons surrounded by gears and wheat waves, and since Dongfanggang ink is a big problem, the entire banknote is printed in blue ink, only Chinese is printed in purple ink, which is very conspicuous. In the lower left corner of the banknote is a row of numbers, "East C000583".

In the upper right corner of the back of the banknote is an enlarged version of the Senate's emblem of the East Wind under the rising sun, and a bird's-eye view of the Port of the Vostochny surrounded by a ribbon of Mai Lang's rice gears, but this certainly cannot be compared with a printed photograph. In addition, the middle row under the pattern is also printed with the signature specially designed by Shui Wang Tai in the old time and space, as well as his personal patriarch seal - the three words "Shui Wang Tai" engraved on the small seal.

The entire five-dollar bill is about the size of the palm of your hand, and almost all of them are blue. The naturalized people who took the banknotes were stunned on the spot, what is this? Can this compare to money?

"Chief......" he asked the naturalized woman a little weakly.

The female naturalized citizen was taken aback, and waved her hand again and again, "I'm not the chief, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Comrade, that ......" The winner with the banknote didn't know what to say, "can you exchange this for money?" The chief just said that I won five pieces. ”

"That's five pieces, you see it's written." As she spoke, the naturalized woman pointed to the word "5" on the banknote. "That's five dollars, and you can use it to buy things in the shop under the name of the Senate."

The winner couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, thought for a while, and still mustered up the courage to say to the female naturalized citizen opposite: "Comrade, can you change five laces?" ”

There are many names for the Senate silver coins, such as "Funyo" (the east wind on the reverse), "Mouse Money" (Mickey Mouse version), "Duck Money" (Donald Duck version), "Lace" (referring to the side teeth around the silver coin that are specially stamped to prevent them from being frustrated), and "Dog Money" (Goofy version). How could the naturalized woman not know that what he wanted was a silver coin? But at the moment, let alone a silver coin, there is not even a copper coin here.

At this time, there was another cheer on the stage, and the second naturalized citizen touched a two-yuan lottery ticket. Seeing that the companion was happily approaching, he couldn't help but grin, and sure enough, the female naturalized citizen put a green bill in the man's hand.

The two bills caught the attention of onlookers who were close by.

"How did the two of them get pieces of paper?"

"How can this piece of paper be used as money?"

"Could it be a silver ticket?"

"It's only two or five taels, what kind of silver ticket do you take?"

"But doesn't the ticket number also open a silver ticket of ten taels? It's not surprising to open a tael. ”

The two naturalized people who got the money looked at each other worriedly, took the banknotes and stepped down, they were the first to go straight to a grain store in the distance, wanting to break the banknotes, looking for money can't all find money, right?

However, at this time, most people's attention was not on these two naturalized people who were in a hurry to sell the banknotes, and their attention was focused on touching the prize box. But everyone saw it just now, and the two naturalized people would definitely not be the childcare of the chief (of course, with the deception of modern people, even the natives of childcare can't see it), one found two yuan, and the other found five yuan. No matter how bad your luck is, you can definitely find a piece or two.

Everyone frantically squeezed forward, wanting to step forward and touch the prize earlier.

"Please note that the qualification for the lottery needs to be purchased, a dime at a time." Shui Wangtai shouted loudly behind a human wall formed by the naturalized police.

So a group of patriarchs led the black and oppressed naturalized people behind them and immediately rushed to the toll office. This was arranged at the beginning,Most of the veterans who took the lead in front of them are financial mouths or simply lottery department staff,At this time, their main task is to lead the boom of gas prizes。 As for whether they win the lottery or not, they don't care about the winning quota of 1250 yuan.

The naturalized people didn't know about these cats, and now they saw that the two naturalized people touched the two and five rewards on it, and their hearts were also hot, and they took out various coins from their pockets and lined up to buy the quota.

"I'll buy it ten times!" An elder deliberately said loudly. A group of naturalized people next to him breathed in surprise, this is just one or two, if you touch it ten times, it would be a good thing if you could touch a few more, if you don't touch anything, isn't it all wasted?

Soon, in front of everyone's eyes, the patriarch stepped forward with ten lottery qualification tickets in his hand, reached out and grabbed a handful inside, and there were five cards in his hand. The naturalized people who recorded the votes carefully examined the five pieces of paper, "Two misses, one with one corner, one with five corners, and one with one yuan." ”

He then reached into the prize box and grabbed five cards, and the naturalized people who sang the tickets sang loudly again: "Three misses, one is a corner, and one is a five." ”

"Wow......" The naturalized people who were watching were excited, and the chief spent a dollar to go in and found out two dimes.

"That's a lot of money." The people below were excited, helping the chief to be happy.

Shui Wangtai was full of unhappiness, today's prize was touched without any hands and feet, he didn't even know why these paper cards with prizes were so easy to be caught, why didn't these paper cards sink in the violently shaken prize box?

The naturalized people below excitedly waved the coins in their hands and marched forward, and they bought the qualifications for the lottery of one yuan, two yuan or even ten yuan, and the madness was even more enthusiastic than the craze for the lottery that began to rise in the mainland back then.

From time to time, the voice of the teller sounded on the stage, "A corner! "Pentagon!" "One piece!" "Two pieces!"

Such voices are tantamount to pouring oil on the fire of the lottery craze, and more naturalized people are digging for coins in their pockets. Because the coins are too big and inconvenient to carry, most people keep the coins at home, and only one dime or two dimes are enough for one person to spend a day in Oriental Harbor. At this time, they felt that they did not have enough money, and when everyone had no money to borrow, they ran home and went back to get the money.

For a while, a lot of people in front of the prize point ran away, so that more people behind had the opportunity to come forward. At this time, a young man wearing a robe with a square scarf wrapped around his head lined up in front of the ticket office, stretched out his hand and put a handful of broken silver in front of the clerk, "Brother, how many times can you touch this?" ”

The broken silver was not difficult for the clerk, he picked up a small scale and weighed the silver, estimated the fineness, and crackled twice on the abacus, "Deduct the fire consumption of one yuan and two jiao, twelve times." ”

The person dressed as Xiucai nodded, stretched out his right hand, took the qualification ticket, looked down at the qualification ticket, smiled bitterly, looked around, and then walked up to the podium without hesitation.
