The branch of the Lottery Center is located outside the Zhonghua Gate, next to the Great Baoen Temple. There are many shops here and the flow of people is dense. It is indeed an excellent place.
On the opening day of the branch, Zhang Ren was also present at the scene, while Guan Shan was responsible for maintaining order. As for Ji Gang and Yu Zhaosen, they were left behind in the old store.
Looking at the crazy influx of customers, Zhang Ren couldn't help but swallow his saliva. How much money can he make in this day?
Among the people buying lottery tickets, Zhang Ren also saw an acquaintance - Liu Erbing.
Zhang Ren waved towards Liu Erbing.
Liu Erbing put away the lottery tickets and spent a lot of effort to squeeze in front of Zhang Ren. He only heard him ask: "Zhang Ren, are you here to buy lottery tickets too?"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I don't buy lottery tickets."
Liu Erbing asked curiously: "Don't buy lottery tickets? If you don't buy lottery tickets, why do you come here to squeeze in? Are you crazy?"
Zhang Ren shrugged and said, "I sell lottery tickets."
Liu Erbing had a look of astonishment on his face, "You, a dignified and honorable young man like Xiao Qi, actually come here to sell lottery tickets?"
Zhang Ren nodded.
Liu Erbing's mind was spinning. In this world, it seemed that not only Liu Erbing was short of money, but also the noble children had to go out to work.
Liu Erbing looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Ren, you get a lot of money working in the lottery center, right? See if you can get me to work in the lottery center too?"
Zhang Ren looked at Liu Erbing. Putting aside his personality, this guy looked like he was wearing brocade clothes and holding an embroidered spring knife.
Zhang Ren came closer to Liu Erbing and said: "From now on, I will give you two taels of silver every month. Just come and hang out when you have nothing to do. The main reason is to scare Xiao Xiao. You are short of one person. How about you find more brothers?" , as long as they are from our Jinyiwei, we can find ten or eight of them, as long as they have nothing to do, they can come over and support the scene, and each person will receive two taels of silver per month, what do you think?"
Liu Erbing counted on his fingers and couldn't help but take a breath and said: "If we find ten brothers, it will be twenty taels per month. Can you make the decision on such a big thing? Do you think this lottery center is? Isn’t it possible to open a business in your home?”
Zhang Ren curled his lips and said, "The lottery center is not run by my family."
Liu Erbing rolled his eyes, "If it's not your family's business, what are you going to do? Aren't you making fun of my brother?"
Zhang Ren said, "I run this lottery center. I am the owner here. The lottery center is my property."
Liu Erbing was shocked for a moment, then showed an angry face and pointed at Zhang Ren with trembling hands.
What's going on here? Could it be that Liu Erbing still has a yanghorn style? Zhang Ren quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
I just heard Liu Erbing say angrily: "Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren, you owe me a hundred taels and you still don't pay me back. I thought you were poor and I haven't had the nerve to ask you for it these days, but see for yourself, you have everything." It’s such a big industry, but it still doesn’t pay me back!”
Liu Erbing's tone was incomprehensible. Zhang Ren then remembered that he had indeed said that he would give Liu Erbing a hundred taels. He quickly took a hundred taels from the counter, put it into Liu Erbing's hand, and said: " This is really my fault, this is one hundred taels, you should put it away quickly, are you satisfied now?"
Liu Erbing carefully put the hundred taels in his pocket, and then said, "Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Zhang Ren was a little confused and asked, "I gave you all the money, why are you still not satisfied?"
Just listen to Liu Erbing say: "Zhang Fu has been living in Jinyiwei these days, and he hasn't left yet. He practices swordsmanship and eats together with my junior sister Li Xue every day. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel? You'd better hurry up Let him go."
As Liu Erbing spoke, he actually looked like he was about to cry. Although he couldn't see the tears, his expression was quite aggrieved.
Ever since the last time Jin Changchuan of Wumen threatened him with Zhang Fu, Zhang Ren was really afraid. Now Jin Changchuan has disappeared and the Nine Sects are silent. Zhang Ren will not let Zhang Fu go home no matter what. There is no royal guard at home. Safety?
Zhang Ren looked at Liu Erbing with sideways eyes and said, "I can't do anything about this."
As soon as Zhang Ren finished speaking, Liu Erbing grinned and started crying. Although there were still no tears, his voice was not quiet, and it attracted the attention of many people for a while.
When a woman cries, Zhang Ren may be at a loss. When a man cries, it will only make Zhang Ren... feel disgusted.
If this was in a deserted place, Zhang Ren would definitely beat up Liu Erbing, but with so many people watching here, Zhang Ren only felt embarrassed.
Zhang Ren frowned and hurriedly whispered to Liu Erbing: "Have you had enough trouble? Are you shameless?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Erbing cried even louder, "What's the use of asking for face? I want Junior Sister Li Xue. If Zhang Fu doesn't leave, I feel uneasy, sad and wronged!"
Zhang Ren had no choice but to quickly take out two taels of silver from his pocket. To deal with people like Liu Erbing, silver is a panacea.
After seeing the silver, Liu Erbing stopped crying immediately. He grabbed the silver, weighed it in his hands, and said, "Although the silver is a little short, it can at least make up for the pain in my heart."
Zhang Ren shook his head helplessly, "You came here specifically to touch porcelain with me, right?"
Liu Erbing obviously didn't understand the meaning of touching porcelain. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. Anyway, as long as the money is in hand, it doesn't matter what others say.
Now that the lottery ticket has been bought and one hundred and two taels of silver have been obtained, Liu Erbing will naturally not stay here to study the meaning of porcelain with Zhang Ren.
He waved his hand towards Zhang Ren, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb your business anymore, I'm going back now."
Zhang Ren quickly turned his head and waved his hand, but he didn't want to say a word more.
Liu Erbing turned around and just took two steps. He seemed to remember something. He immediately turned around and said to Zhang Ren, "Zhang Ren, wait a minute."
Zhang Ren had no choice but to ask: "What? Is there anything else?"
Liu Erbing nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I will bring the brothers tomorrow. You have agreed that each of them will receive two taels of silver per month. You cannot break your promise."
Zhang Ren covered his face with one hand and waved. Who are these people? This was the first time in his two lives that he had seen such a shameless person like Liu Erbing. Zhang Ren has reason to believe that Liu Erbing will do something great in the future, because he has heard a saying a long time ago: A tree without bark will definitely die! Without morals, anything is possible!
Seeing that Zhang Ren did not refuse, Liu Erbing left with satisfaction.
The new store has opened, and there are still so many customers. Moreover, this place has already left the Zhonghua Gate and is regarded as the outer city of Jinling City. Many beggars have come to beg, hoping that the owner here can give some money and food.
Yuan Bao is also among this group of beggars.
