Protagonist:

Lu Feng

12:30 PM, Garden Road Food Street.

A large crowd of diners had already gathered outside Lu Feng's shop, and they were already lining up early.

The diners gradually formed a line, many chatting in small groups of two or three, their conversation never leaving the roast duck from yesterday that had everyone longing for it.

Hu Xiaoyun walked into the shop carrying a bamboo basket; she had just set the basket down by the kitchen door when she heard footsteps behind her.

Zhu Chang followed her into the shop with his round belly sticking out, a familiar smile on his face.

"Brother Zhu, it's not business hours yet, what is this…"

Hu Xiaoyun turned to look at Zhu Chang following her in and asked somewhat doubtfully.

"I know, I know."

Zhu Chang waved his hand and chuckled twice, saying, "I'm here to help you hold the lucky draw for everyone; let me be in charge of today's lucky draw!"

As he spoke, he walked straight to the counter and reached out to hug the lucky draw box.

"How can I let you do that?"

Hu Xiaoyun stepped forward two paces, wanting to reach out and stop him: "Brother Zhu, you already helped yesterday, and you didn't even draw a roast duck yourself yesterday, so let me handle it today."

Actually, she was worried that if Zhu Chang failed to draw a red ball again today,

he would beg her for an extra spot just like yesterday.

It was already embarrassing enough to ask for help, but she couldn't agree to this kind of thing.

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm doing this voluntarily! Even if I don't draw one, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Zhu Chang seemed to see through Hu Xiaoyun's concerns and said carelessly.

Hu Xiaoyun felt somewhat helpless, looking toward the kitchen door with a questioning gaze.

Zhu Chang turned his head, saw Lu Feng just walking out of the kitchen, and simply shouted loudly at Lu Feng: "Boss Lu, from now on, let me be in charge of all the lucky draw events! I promise I'll complete the task perfectly for you!"

Lu Feng smiled gently: "Sure, if you want to be in charge, then be in charge. Xiaoyun, you take a rest first; from now on, the lucky draw will be handled by him."

"Alright then."

Hu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Chang hugging the lucky draw box without any intention of letting go, then looked at Lu Feng's gentle gaze, and could only nod in agreement.

"Hehe, then thank you, Boss Lu, for your generosity!"

With Lu Feng's verbal agreement, Zhu Chang immediately beamed with joy.

He hugged the lucky draw box and swaggered out of the shop, his steps much lighter than usual.

Just as he walked out of the shop, he held the lucky draw box high, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly.

"Come, come, come! Today's lucky draw is starting! Everyone still gets one chance to draw; those who draw a red ball can buy the roast duck Boss Lu made today! Limited to two portions, good luck to everyone!"

As he spoke, he shook the lucky draw box vigorously, and the ping pong balls inside clattered, causing a commotion among the crowd.

"Finally the lucky draw is starting! I came late yesterday and missed the draw, but today I deliberately arrived half an hour early!"

A young man at the front of the line rubbed his hands, staring fixedly at the lucky draw box in Zhu Chang's hands.

The other diners were all excited, rubbing their hands together and getting ready for the lucky draw.

"By the way, before the draw, I need to reiterate this to everyone!"

Zhu Chang stuck out his belly, swept his gaze over a few unfamiliar faces in the line, and said loudly again: "Did many of you see the news in the group yesterday? To let more people taste the flavor of Boss Lu's roast duck, from now on, those who draw a red ball can designate three to four people to chip in and buy it to share, everyone must follow this rule, you can't keep it all to yourself, okay?"

The news about sharing the roast duck in the group yesterday had already spread.

But Zhu Chang worried that the new diners today didn't know about this, so he specifically reminded them once more.

"Don't worry! We've all seen the news in the group!"

Someone in the middle of the line started urging: "Hurry up and start the draw! Boss Lu is about to open for business, everyone can hardly wait!"

Zhu Chang saw that everyone had no objections, hugged the lucky draw box, walked down the steps, and began letting the diners draw one by one.

He hugged the lucky draw box and slowly walked toward the back of the line, having already planned everything in his heart.

Yesterday he had waited for the diners in front to draw almost all the white balls before drawing himself.

Although Fang Yuan had snatched the prize at the end, he felt this method was still very useful for increasing the odds of winning.

Therefore, he planned to use the same trick today.

Still let the people in front draw first, and he would make his move last.

Although the roast duck drawn today would have to be shared with other diners.

But if he drew it himself, he should be able to get a few more pieces.

Anyway, everyone was familiar with each other usually, and no one would really quibble with him over these things.

"Don't rush! One by one! After drawing, hurry up and let the people behind draw, everyone seize the time!"

Zhu Chang hugged the lucky draw box and walked while loudly maintaining order.

As expected, the few diners at the front of the line all drew white balls, shaking their heads and sighing regretfully.

"Sir, it's your turn to draw!"

Zhu Chang moved the lucky draw box toward Qin Ye and said with a smile.

Qin Ye closed the fan in his hand, tucked it under his armpit, spat twice into his palm, and then rubbed his hands together.

This was his habit; he always felt doing this could bring him some good luck.

Then Qin Ye waved his hand, rummaged in the box for a while, and drew out a ping pong ball.

He opened his palm to look, and it was another white ball; he was instantly greatly disappointed.

"Hey! Why is it white again!"

Qin Ye slapped his thigh in vexation, shaking his head and saying very vexedly.

"Old Qin, don't rush, we're still here!"

Liu Zhen Guo behind Qin Ye said as he came over and grabbed a ball from the box.

He took it out and looked; it was still a white ball.

"Fine, my luck seems no good either!"

Liu Zhen Guo tossed the ball to Zhu Chang, shifted to the side, and looked at Zhao Jian Hua behind him: "Old Zhao, you go!"

Zhao Jian Hua slowly reached out and drew out another white ball.

"How strange! Are we not going to eat this Roast Duck today?"

Liu Zhen Guo shouted with a pained expression.

"Old Xu, whether us brothers can eat Roast Duck today depends entirely on you!"

Qin Ye, unwilling to give up, looked nervously at Xu Shao Ying, the next to draw, and said solemnly.

Xu Shao Ying was the oldest among them, and usually the most steady.

At this moment he couldn't help but feel nervous too, and his expression was especially serious.

He reached his hand into the Lucky Draw Box and stirred inside twice.

Then he felt a Ping Pong Ball, took a deep breath, and pulled his hand out.

A bright red Ping Pong Ball was held in his hand, especially conspicuous in the sunlight.

"Damn! Old Xu, you really won!"

Qin Ye's eyes widened instantly, and he slapped Xu Shao Ying's shoulder, nearly making Xu Shao Ying lose his footing: "I told you this old kid has good Luck, putting you last to draw was definitely right!"
