Chapter 6 The Life of a Lottery Shopkeeper
"Crash~~" The roller shutter door opened and the space inside was revealed.
As soon as you enter the door, you will find a "7"-shaped counter, waist-length height. A white square betting machine is lying quietly on it, and these abandoned "scratchers" are placed randomly on it. Next to the counter, next to the wall to the right, is a simple sofa, and in front of the sofa is a solid wood coffee table with red spots.
The walls on three sides are covered with trend charts of various colors. The three-meter-high walls are covered with three, five, seven-star color, big lotto, 22-choice 5 and high-frequency color types 11-choice 5 are listed one by one.
The entire space is about thirty square meters, and the wall inside is a partition wall that can be moved. A forty-inch LCD TV is hung on the partition wall. This is a high-frequency color 11-choice 5 playback terminal. The TV is under a small wooden door. Wu Chen walked over and pushed the door open...
There is a rectangular space inside, about ten square meters, four slot machines of different sizes are placed against the wall, sockets, wires, melon seeds, and shredded paper. Four or five simple chairs are placed randomly.
Walking further inside is a small bathroom.
The whole store is not big, it is ordinary, except for a few slot machines that are shameless, it is no different from the ordinary lottery shop.
All the strange and familiar things in front of you are, and when you are in the scene, the dusty memories begin to slowly revive and gradually overlap with the environment you are in.
I remember that this partition wall would move forward two meters in a few months, and the partitions of the slot machine were enlarged. Wu Chen would, under the instigation of a group of people, put the space here on two automatic mahjong machines and create a popular chess and card room...
It was this chess and card room that allowed him to play mahjong and became addicted to it. It was a big loss and a terrible loss.
In addition, the "investment" arrangement was not enough to make ends meet, which led to the store being unable to operate in the end, and even the pre-deposit for normal ticketing was lost. Later, it had to be transferred...
Wu Chen remembers the transfer price very clearly - 55,000.
You should know that when he took over, he spent more than 80,000 yuan, and with the pre-deposit and investment, he couldn't even afford to pay for 100,000 yuan.
But after working for more than a year, I lost half of it. The key is that the money is not his, but it was finally collected by the family.
Alas, the past is unbearable to look back on, and it is all about tears if you talk too much.
"Now, do it again. I won't be able to see the mistakes of the past. I must firmly grasp the opportunities of the past. Although this place is small and inconspicuous, it will be the place where my dreams set sail. Let's wait~"
Wu Chen encouraged himself and his emotions gradually calmed down. He had long-lost hope that he was full of glory at this time.
"Boss~~, vote!"
Wu Chen took a deep breath and turned around and smiled on his face, "Here, come..."
Boss? I like this title, he said to himself in his heart.
"What number was opened yesterday in the Lotto? Why haven't you written it out yet?"
The betting machine started, the lottery types, numbers, winning areas, winning bets, amounts, and prize pool accumulation that were drawn last night...... One by one, Wu Chen looked up and smiled: "Yesterday Friday, there was no big lottery, only today..."
"Oh~~, then choose five bets for me..."
"Okay~~"
After seeing off the lottery player, Wu Chen quickly updated the lottery number on the glass wall outside, and then moved the ladder to draw a trend chart. Lottery players came in one after another to chat. Wu Chen had a smile on his face, regardless of whether he had an impression or not. This busyness lasted for more than an hour.
It was almost nine o'clock, and breakfast time passed and the store gradually became quiet. He had the time to go out and pack a bowl of beef noodle, sat at the counter, and was satisfied with eating.
"There is no need to think about the Lotto. The probability of 5+2 is one in a million, which is completely a big fortune. There are so many negative news about bullshits. Besides, I haven't paid attention to it before, and I forget it after reading it. The only possibility is to arrange three and arrange five..."
Wu Chen was thinking while eating noodles.
"One of the three out of the order is 1,000, and the five out of the order is 100,000. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now, because you used to think about it every day, and there was always a certain period of impression that suddenly appeared... I saw it right, and it was multiple, hahaha..."
The more Wu Chen thought, the more confident he was, the more he was, the more he was happy. In the end, the joy became sorrowful that the spicy oil choked into the trachea and coughed for a long time...
"Oh, slow down, slow down..."
Wu Chen looked up at the coughing tears, and an old lady with gray hair and a kind smile stood in front of the counter...
"Ah, aunt~~"
This old lady Wu Chen was also impressed by her. It was just because she loved curiosity. Most of the slot machines were prepared for her. Wu Chen opened a store for more than a year, hundreds of days and nights, and most of the time was rainy and rainy. She traveled in the morning and in the afternoon. Sometimes she was lucky and even got a few instant lottery tickets. At the beginning, she treated her as her parents for food and clothing, and her relationship was really good...
The two chatted together, and the cold...
"...The car wash next door is about to open. Then there will be cars, water and mud, it's really..."
Wu Chen suddenly remembered that the three stores next to him were newly opened car wash shops. The owner was a woman with a surname Su. She was extremely charming and beautiful. Unfortunately, she was married and her son was two years old. She was envious for a long time at the beginning...
"Ah... there must be an impact...but it's not easy for anyone to do business. If you can overcome it, you can overcome it. If you can help you..."
The old lady gave a thumbs up and Wu Chen blew it. It was because the car wash shop was about to affect the surrounding shops that the beautiful boss wanted to establish a good relationship with the surrounding shops. At this time, she was about to open the business. So, she has already dealt with her?
How did she do it?
Wu Chen couldn't remember it, and what impressed him most was that the lines under the fiery red onesie were extremely thrilling. The faint fragrance that seemed to be there and not existed and permeated, it penetrated into his heart every time he smelled it. His delicate face and facial features were naturally pretty, and he was angry and happy. Then... there was nothing else. Wu Chen had already been so beautiful and soul-savvy, and was easily KOed.
After the routine chat, the old lady took out a red note worth 100 yuan and handed it to Wu Chen.
"How much do you want?" Wu Chen asked.
"I don't dare to do too much, 50, the remaining 50 still have to buy groceries..."
Wu Chen took out a box of coins worth one dollar from the drawer on the left. Now, the dust of memory has been wiped clean. Something is placed in several drawers on the counter, including hidden in the dark, and spare keys emerge one by one. From being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming more and more skilled now, this is also the reason why he is full of confidence in recalling the prize draw number.
