At this time, an old woman who was nearly seventy years old came with a bag of grain, fumbled in the lottery box for a while, and finally took out a small piece of paper and handed it to the shopkeeper Lai Xi without looking at it, Ouyang Feng asked curiously: "Auntie, don't you take a look for yourself first, aren't you afraid that we will lie to you?"

The old woman smiled and said: "I don't know how to read, and I see it in vain, I believe that you, who can open a medical clinic to help our poor, can't be a bad person, and you won't lie to me an old woman." ”

Ouyang Feng smiled, glanced at the note, and said with a smile: "Auntie, your luck is good, you won a second prize, do you want grain or silver coins?"

The disappointment on the old woman's face flickered when she heard this, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "I still want silver coins." ”

Ouyang Feng took fifty silver coins from the man's hand, put them in a small bag and handed them to the old woman, and asked curiously, "Auntie, why don't you seem to be happy when you win the lottery?"

The old woman said embarrassedly: "Happy, of course happy, I only spent a dozen silver coins to buy food, and I won fifty silver coins at once, how can I not be happy." ”

At this time, a simple middle-aged man also came to the lottery after buying food, and when he saw the old woman, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "Auntie, how about this time?

The old woman sighed and said, "No, I won a second prize, no, I exchanged fifty silver coins." With that, he staggered away.

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Auntie, don't be discouraged, maybe you will be hit next time." ”

Ouyang Feng asked the middle-aged man curiously: "Auntie seems to want to win the first prize?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the old woman's back, sighed, and said, "Alas, that's what happened. Her son studied medicine from a traveling doctor at an early age. Some time ago. Her son asked someone to send a letter, saying that he was going to come back after completing his studies, and the eldest mother wanted to get some delicious food for his son, but she didn't have much money. The eldest lady planned to come over to try her luck and use almost all the family's money to buy food. I started queuing early in the morning, and now it's the third time, the first time I didn't draw anything, the second time I drew a third prize, and I couldn't exchange it for huàn silver coins at that time, but this time I won the second prize and exchanged it for fifty silver coins, which is not a small harvest, at least the food I bought before is equal to the free given. Ouyang Feng nodded abruptly. Looking at the back of the old woman who was far away, I sighed, once. He didn't often live at the bottom of society like this.

The middle-aged man stirred in the lottery box for a long time, took out a note and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Good luck, I won a third prize, just give me silver coins." ”

Ouyang Feng asked with a smile: "It's not the first time for you?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm also the third time, I didn't win the lottery the first two times, and this time it's finally opened." Man, hurry up, I'll get back in line. ”

Ouyang Feng asked in surprise, "What, you also want to draw the first prize?"

The middle-aged man didn't deny it, nodded and said: "Of course, who doesn't want to win the first prize, the one in my family is pregnant again, I plan to win the first prize to get her some delicious supplements, maybe this time you can give me a big fat boy." ”

Ouyang Feng was full of black lines, speechless for a while. After the middle-aged man left, Ouyang Feng asked Lacey: "Those who are queuing up are all running for the lottery?"

Lacey nodded and said, "It's about the same, you see, those who only buy ten silver coins of grain are basically mixed lotteries." (The minimum consumption of ten silver coins can participate in the lottery) Ouyang Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

Lacey continued: "The lottery is really good, even if there are too many prizes and we can't make any money, but our popularity has gone up, I estimate that even if the lottery is over, these people will come to us to buy food in the future, at least most people will be like this." In terms of long-term benefits, we still earned it. Ouyang Feng was about to say something, but he received a message from Qingfeng.

Qingfeng told Ouyang Feng: "The progress here is going very well, Adonis took them to two grain stores of considerable size, the boss there heard that they were from the Qingyuan Guild and was quite enthusiastic, after Pei Di explained his intentions, the two bosses agreed to borrow grain without thinking about it, and sent someone to the warehouse to load the truck and transport it to the Qingyuan grain store. Now, Peidi is discussing cooperation with the two bosses, and the two bosses want to take a stake in the Qingyuan Guild, but they can't get much money, Peidi let me ask what do you think?"

Ouyang Feng said differently: "No, right? They can't get much money?"

Qingfeng replied: "Well, it is said that they have all been put into the store, don't you know, the two bosses are sad now, we have not enough food to sell there, they basically have no customers here, and it will not take a month for both grain stores to close down." ”

Ouyang Feng smiled, hesitated for a moment and said: "We can't force people to a dead end, that would be very detrimental to unity, in this way, sue Sù Peidi, let them become shareholders in the form of a chain, give them two choices, or let them pay a little fee every year, even if it is a branch of our Qingyuan Grain Store in the future, anyway, in such a big city, it is impossible for our store to supply all the residents." Sue Sù Peidi, if the other party chooses to chain, the future purchase channel must be approved by us, and we must not let those guys sell inferior food to ruin our reputation. Peddy will take care of the rest. ”

After Qingfeng relayed Ouyang Feng's explanation to Pei Di, he ended the transmission.

Next, Ouyang Feng waited for Pei Di and them to come back, and at the same time took over the work of the tired guys, so that everyone took turns to rest.

After about two hours, Adonis and Elena returned with the first shipment of grain, and the mercenaries made cameos again to fill the thinned warehouse with twenty carts of grain. Adonis panted and followed behind Ouyang Feng with a bag of grain, but his mouth was not idle, foaming at the mouth and telling how he found those two friends, and how he persuaded each other to borrow food, taking all the credit on himself, and finally when he was by Elena's side after counting, Elena snorted coldly, and Adonis reluctantly gave a small part of the credit to Elena.

Ouyang Feng put the grain on his shoulder into the warehouse, dressed in a rough manner, and said: "You kid, don't let off the cannon with your mouth, Qingfeng has already told me about the matter over there, but what he said is completely different from what you said, it is said that you and Elena don't know where to run after taking the road, or did they send someone to find the two of you for a long time, saying, where did you two fool around?"

Hearing this, Elena's face flushed with shame, and she was extremely dissatisfied: "Four masters, what did you say? What do you mean by fooling around? Are we going out shopping? Who knew that they agreed to borrow food so quickly?"

Ouyang Feng and Adonis smiled, ignoring Elena, who was blue and shy, and the two of them put down the food, hooked their shoulders and backs, squeezed their eyebrows and turned away, so angry that Elena stomped her feet again and again.

Twenty-two truckloads of grain were transported into the warehouse in one go, and the warehouse was full, Elena carried out the second inventory, and Ouyang Feng took Adonis, who was like a dead dog, to the door to rest.

At this time, it was almost dinner time, there were not many people queuing outside, there were probably two or three hundred people, Ouyang Feng just sat down to catch his breath, and subconsciously glanced at Laixi, just in time to see the old woman waiting in line for the lottery.

Ouyang Feng stood up and walked to Lai Xi's side, and when it was the old woman's turn to draw the lottery, Ouyang Feng took the lead in the result note, and said in surprise after a casual glance: "Auntie, congratulations, you won the first prize." The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed, and although the wrinkles on her face were piled up, she smiled very happily.

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Auntie, do you want a prize or a gold coin?" The old woman didn't think about it and said, "I want a prize, I want a prize." As he spoke, he stared at the exquisitely packaged fine grains and fine cooking oil on the long table.

Ouyang Feng smiled faintly, beckoned a mercenary to come over, took several bags of high-grade fine grain and several barrels of oil, and explained to the mercenary: "You help the eldest lady send these prizes back." ”

The mercenary nodded in agreement, put a few bags of grain on his shoulder, turned to the old woman and said, "Where is your home?"

The old woman was first grateful enough to thank Ouyang Feng, and then walked a few steps to the mercenary's side, and said with a smile on her face: "It's not far, it's Jingshui Street in the south of the city." ”

When the mercenary heard this, he almost fell, Qingyuan Grain Store was located in the north of Ula City, but the old woman lived in the southernmost part of Ula City, this time back and forth, it would take at least two hours, and she had to go quickly. If it had been in the past, the mercenaries would have stopped doing it a long time ago, but at this time, Ouyang Feng, the master of the house, explained that the mercenaries could only be hard-headed as coolies.

Looking at the mercenary's sad face, Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "You don't really plan to walk over, right? Isn't there a carriage over there, go, find a carriage to send you." ”

The mercenary was overjoyed, but then said with a bitter face: "Four masters, those carriages are not from our guild, can they pull us?"

Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "It's okay, you just say what I said, if they don't pull you, I'll go to their boss." ”

The mercenary didn't hesitate any longer and said, "Okay." Then she strode to the carriage as it was about to leave, and the old woman thanked her again and followed.

The mercenary's worries were unnecessary, when he casually found a carriage and said that he would give him a ride, the coachman didn't talk nonsense at all, and was extremely enthusiastic to help take over the food, and when the mercenary and the old woman got on the car, he drove the carriage away with a little flattery, and some talked and laughed in the envious eyes of his colleagues.

These coachmen are well-informed, and the owner of the Natural Way intends to cooperate with the Qingyuan Guild, and I don't know where they got the news, saying that the shopkeeper has already negotiated with the people of the Qingyuan Guild and is ready to invest in the Qingyuan Guild, and these people are also very likely to become members of the Qingyuan Guild.
