Seeing that the atmosphere was rising, Chai Yan stopped trying to keep things secret.
"Dear guests, please hold the number plate you received when you signed in before, and remember your number!"
Chai Yan explained loudly and repeated it three times.
In an instant, most people in the hall lowered their heads and looked for their number plates.
From time to time, someone would shout anxiously: "Hey, hey, hey, where's my number plate? Have any of you seen my number plate?"
Chai Yan didn't have time to worry about whether the man found the number plate or not. He held up the lottery box and said: "There are fifty-three guests today. There are fifty-three numbers in this box. What number will be drawn later?"
The owner of the same number plate is the lucky winner of this lottery! Do you understand the rules?"
"I understand..."
"I understand, I understand, let's start smoking!"
The rules were very simple and everyone understood them immediately, so they all paid close attention to their number plates and memorized them.
Chai Yan had no intention of reaching into the lottery box. Instead, he looked at the reserved seat facing the center of the stage and said, "Executive member Zhao, could you please come on stage and draw the first lucky winner for you?"
"Me?" Zhao Yuanwai was stunned and looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
Chai Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Executive member Zhao, this is also to ensure the fairness of the lottery. Today, the six guests at your table will have a chance to draw the lucky winner. I hope everyone can cooperate."
Mr. Sun, who was sitting next to him, immediately answered: "Brother, Mr. Zhao is shy. He doesn't dare to go. I'll whip him out!"
With that said, Mr. Sun was about to get up and walk to the stage. Zhao Yuanwai was impatient at that time and pulled Mr. Sun back as soon as he got up.
"Who wants you to take your place? Get out!"
Suddenly, the laughter in the hall couldn't stop.
After the interlude, Member Zhao came to the stage. Chai Yan put the lottery box in front of him and said: "Member Zhao, please feel free to draw boldly, maybe the winner will be you!"
"Yes, number fifty-three, my number is also in it..." Zhao Yuanwai glanced at his number plate and shouted: "No. 18, I want to draw number 18!"
"
"I wish you good luck!" Chai Yan said a blessing and signaled to Zhao that he could start smoking.
Zhao Yuanwai put his hand into the lottery box and immediately touched a lot of folded pieces of paper. He randomly selected one and took it out.
"Executive member Zhao, please open the note and show it to everyone," Chai Yan reminded.
Officer Zhao showed an excited smile and opened the note with anticipation. However, when the number on the paper came into view, his previous joy was immediately overshadowed by a look of disappointment.
"No. 17, congratulations to No. 17, congratulations to the lucky guy!" Chai Yan had already read out the number on the note.
Zhao Yuanwai showed the front side of the note to everyone and said regretfully: "What a pity, it's only one number short!"
To Zhao Yuanwai, one hundred taels of silver was nothing at all. He was simply disappointed because of the difference of one number.
As soon as the results came out, some guests began to compare the numbers on their hands. Even though they clearly remembered the numbers on their numbers, they still did so...
At the same time, some people stretched their necks to look for the lucky winner. They wanted to see who was so lucky and picked up a hundred taels of silver for nothing.
"No. 17! Is No. 17 here?" Chai Yan looked at the field and reminded: "If No. 17 is not here, the result will be invalid and one more person will be drawn!"
Hearing this, some people immediately raised their hopes and shouted: "He won't be here on the 17th, draw again, draw again!"
"Who the hell said I'm not here? I'm No. 17!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
Everyone turned around and saw a man running towards the stage while adjusting his waistband.
Many people couldn't help but let out a sound of disappointment. Those who dared to win the lottery ran to the hut.
"Sorry, I just went to relieve myself, haha, ha..." No. 17 smiled awkwardly.
Chai Yan said it was okay, then verified and recovered the winning number plate.
Then, Chai Yan also expressed congratulations and solemnly handed a golden VIP card worth one hundred taels into his hand.
"Congratulations!" Zhao said with clasped fists in congratulations and walked off the stage with a smile.
The one on the 17th was very happy. He held the VIP card and kept looking at it, almost laughing out of his eyes.
One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, but how much is it worth? Let’s put it this way, in the small courtyard where Chai Yan rents now, one hundred taels can buy three houses! If it is given to ordinary people and does not spend it arbitrarily,
It’s totally fine to eat and drink for five years.
After the first lottery draw, tonight's dance performance ushered in.
The first person to take the stage was girl Huaichun. Despite her young age, she showed no sign of stage fright. When the music started playing, Huaichun started dancing to the rhythm.
Chai Yan didn't know how to dance. As a layman, he just watched the excitement and said he couldn't explain why. He felt that Huaichun's dance made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts. To use the language of later generations to describe it, it was healing...
.....
Yes, Huaichun is a healing girl!
Not only Chai Yan, but also the group of men in the audience watched intently. As soon as Huaichun's dance ended, there was roaring applause and cheers from below.
After the performance, Huaichun bowed and returned to the backstage. Another girl went on stage to perform with a pipa.
As soon as he came in, Huaichun started jumping around backstage, as if he was a different person.
"Scared me to death...scared me to death..."
Chai Yan then asked: "What's wrong? Your dance just now was wonderful."
Huaichun's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Xiaoyan, I almost fell down just now, didn't you see?"
"Is there any? I didn't see it..."
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head, saying to himself that I am a dancing idiot, how could I know these tricks?
Huaichun pouted and looked at Chai Yan with a slight displeasure: "Then you still praise me for dancing well, but you don't even understand..."
Chai Yan choked on his words and didn't know what to say. When he still wanted to speak, Huaichun had already run away with his lips pursed.
Just as she was smiling and shaking her head, Yilan came over.
"Xiaoyan, thank you for your hard work today." Yilan smiled.
Chai Yan replied: "No, no, I don't actually have to do anything. It's you who work hard. You have to be busy with this and that, and you have to dance later."
Yilan shook her head hurriedly, feeling a faint blush on her cheeks.
Then I heard Shangguan Peining say: "Chai Yan, this girl seems to like you!"
Chai Yan didn't think so, and immediately replied: "What do you know? I'm going to perform on stage later, with makeup on my face!"
