Chapter 93: Human Tragedy
In Mo Qingyan's coffee shop, those who were originally lazily queuing or chatting immediately lined up in an orderly manner.
Everyone looked at Mo Qingyan expectantly.
Being stared at by these hundreds of pairs of green eyes, even the celebrity guests who came for the blind date couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Fortunately, although these people had scary looks in their eyes, they all stood still very restrainedly, and no one made any out-of-line movements.
The owners of the food stalls were also very happy when they saw Mo Qingyan coming.
Although they couldn't afford Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea.
However, Mo Qingyan's business is doing well, which can also boost their business.
Every time Mo Qingyan comes to open a shop, the business of their stalls near the coffee shop will increase several times.
It's not that they're delicious.
However, after buying Mo Qingyan’s kumquat lemon tea, I always felt like I wanted to eat some other snacks to go with it.
Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that Mo Qingyan was not selling kumquat lemon tea today.
The coffee shop employees, knowing that Mo Qingyan was going to open the shop today, came to work one by one early in the morning.
Then, as instructed, 300 numbers were issued to people in the queue.
Seeing Mo Qingyan coming with a large group of handsome men and beautiful women, everyone was very excited.
"Brother Mo, long time no see."
"Brother Mo, I miss you so much!"
"Brother Mo, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to your opening a shop. I really miss you so much."
They all came up immediately and expressed their longing for Mo Qingyan.
If you don’t know, you would think Mo Qingyan has been gone for two or three years.
In fact, he had only been away for two or three days.
"Miss me? I think you miss my kumquat lemon tea?" Mo Qingyan exposed them with a smile.
They were not annoyed, but laughed and said:
"I can't help it. The kumquat lemon tea you made is so delicious!"
"That's right. After drinking the kumquat lemon tea made by the boss, I always feel that nothing I drink is right."
"Brother Mo, someone at the food stall here has also copied you and started selling kumquat lemon tea. I tried it and it almost made my teeth fall out. It's nothing like yours, boss."
Because two days ago, the kumquat lemon tea sold by Mo Qingyan became popular.
Therefore, there are many more vendors selling kumquat lemon tea at this food festival.
However, many of the kumquat lemon teas sold by those people don’t taste very good.
It's either extremely sweet or sour enough to make your teeth fall out.
It can't be compared with Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea.
However, this drink is rare and the weather is hot. Therefore, many people are willing to buy a cup to try.
After all, kumquat lemon tea is better at quenching thirst than milk tea.
Mo Qingyan was happy to see such signs that others were imitating him.
After all, his biggest wish is to make the delicacies from his previous world flourish here.
Therefore, when others imitated the food he cooked, Mo Qingyan was very happy, but he was afraid that others would not imitate him.
Mo Qingyan said to the shop assistants: "I may disappoint you today. I will not sell kumquat lemon tea today. I will sell cold noodles."
"Liangpi?"
Instead of being disappointed, the group of shop assistants were overjoyed.
"Oh my god, is that the cold noodle that was so delicious that the high judges couldn't help but pack it up?"
"When I watched the replay of your live broadcast, I was drooling. I never thought that one day I would be able to eat the cold noodles made by Brother Mo."
"Haha, that's great. I just asked two riders to line up for me today. I can even participate in the lucky draw later."
"I didn't have that much money, so I asked a rider to queue for me."
Today’s cold noodles are what everyone desires, and the wristwatch in the final lottery is what everyone desires.
You know, the cheapest watch costs hundreds of thousands.
Huayi watches are the most valuable.
Even if you sell it second-hand, you can still get hundreds of thousands.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars! For an ordinary worker, it will take at least ten or eight years to save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Some people may not be able to save hundreds of thousands even after twenty years.
Therefore, the temptation of this watch is too great.
Some people who just wanted to buy kumquat lemon tea heard that Mo Qingyan was not selling kumquat lemon tea today, but was selling some kind of cold noodles.
I quit immediately.
"What? You don't sell kumquat lemon tea? Forget it, I won't queue."
"I drank kumquat lemon tea last time and I couldn't forget it. This time I lined up just to buy kumquat lemon tea."
"I won't buy it either. What kind of cold noodle is worth a hundred yuan?"
"I thought I could make some money today, but I didn't expect it to be a waste of time."
"I went back to work. I thought I could make some money today!"
When they heard that kumquat lemon tea was no longer for sale, about ten people turned around and left.
There are still some people who are hesitant.
These people, who are able to queue up and get a number, are all stall owners at the food festival.
These food stalls usually have to wait until after ten o'clock before people come to buy food.
Mo Qingyan's shop was open before ten o'clock.
Moreover, since you have already got the number, basically, you don’t have to wait too long and you can get the kumquat lemon tea and leave.
So, when the stall owners saw a queue starting to form in front of the coffee shop, they immediately ran over to queue up.
They had never heard of the so-called Liangpi, but they knew that the store manager who sold kumquat lemon tea was an internet celebrity who loved to cook all kinds of delicious food.
The food he makes is always made without regard for cost.
Not only is it delicious, it’s also hard to find.
The reason they were able to queue up today was entirely because of the convenience of setting up a stall near this coffee shop.
I heard that this prodigal son only rented the cafe for a week.
If they don’t buy it today, they may never be able to buy it in the future.
Anyway, the team has been formed and the number has been taken.
It won't take a moment.
Besides, it’s not expensive at just one hundred yuan per copy.
Therefore, those stall owners basically stayed.
Seeing some people in the line leaving because they were not buying kumquat lemon tea, the fans who didn’t get a number immediately rushed up.
Just spend money to buy the accounts from those who are about to leave.
Those fans who didn’t buy the numbers.
Suddenly it was as if I had found some shortcut.
The news that Mo Qingyan was selling cold noodles instead of kumquat lemon tea spread immediately.
When someone quits the team, buy their number immediately.
The price of this number started from one hundred, and then kept rising, and suddenly it reached one thousand.
This made the stall owners who did not leave feel like they had discovered another way to make money.
He immediately sold the number he had.
Although they also hoped to eat the cold noodles made by Mo Qingyan. Want to try what it tastes like.
However, compared with money, it is certainly more practical to have money in your hands than to enjoy this delicious food.
What's more, they have already found out that this cold skin is made with ordinary flour.
Unlike the kumquat lemon tea, which is made with state banquet tea worth 20 million yuan.
Even the honey used is the most expensive kind.
Therefore, in front of a thousand yuan, the cold noodles naturally lose their appeal.
Even if they knew, the cold noodles were not sold for a hundred yuan, but for ten yuan.
Still no regrets.
After all, one thousand dollars is a huge win.
I saw the numbers at the back were sold directly for one thousand yuan.
The riders who were queuing on behalf of others couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
One thousand yuan per number?
This is equivalent to making money for nothing!
In the end, it was the damn professional ethics and the high fines imposed by the platform that curbed the evil thoughts in their hearts.
Professional ethics and such are not really important.
What’s important is the high fine imposed on the platform.
That fine is two or three thousand!
This thousand yuan number cannot offset the fine.
Besides, the employer is watching closely from the side!
Once they stand up, the employer's eyes will kill them in seconds.
Outsiders thought that Mo Qingyan’s fans were queuing here just to buy cold noodles.
The Liangpi noodles are of course the highlight, but what’s more important is that after buying the Liangpi noodles, you’ll get a lucky draw worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
However, everyone tacitly said nothing.
This time, because of the arrival of second- and third-tier celebrity artists, there were many more people coming here to watch.
Most of them recognized the celebrities and then gathered around to watch and take pictures.
Otherwise, they are fans of these celebrity artists who want to come over and take photos with their idols, ask for autographs, etc.
Of course, they could only watch from outside the coffee shop.
Security will not allow anyone other than those fans who have obtained numbers to enter the coffee shop.
"Damn it, those security guys won't let us in."
“How come those people who are in line can get in?”
"Those people have a number in their hands, and they can go in with the number."
"This coffee shop is too much. They invited some celebrities to come here, but they treat this coffee shop as a tourist attraction? You even need a number to enter?"
"Then we'll pay to buy their numbers."
…
The fans of those guests ran to Mo Qingyan's fans and offered to spend money to buy their accounts.
Mo Qingyan's fans were watching as the cold noodles were about to go on sale.
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Not for sale."
"Why don't you sell it to me? Tell me, how much do you want? I'll give you 500, is that ok?"
"Five hundred?" The girl in line looked at the young man who was bidding with disdain, "Are you kidding me? You want to buy my account for five hundred? I just spent a thousand to buy this account."
"Then I'll pay 1,500, and you'll have earned 500. Is that okay?"
"hehe……"
"Two thousand, don't go too far, you've earned a thousand for nothing."
“Not for sale.”
"How much do you want to sell it for?" The young man was getting impatient at this point.
If his idol wasn't in it, he wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to buy an account.
The girl slapped him directly.
"Five thousand?" The young man widened his eyes.
The girl pursed her lips in disdain, "It's five hundred thousand."
"What? Five hundred thousand?" the young man asked in surprise, "Why don't you just rob them?"
Girl: "You must be kidding. Robbery is illegal. But buying and selling is legal. Do you want to buy or not? If not, don't waste my time queuing."
"You're crazy. You want half a million for one number. Unless you're crazy, who would buy your number? There are so many people lining up here. I don't believe that I can't buy even one number after spending two thousand dollars."
After saying that, the young man walked towards the person behind the girl, cursing.
As a result, after asking all the way, all they said was “five hundred thousand”.
It seems like all these people queuing up are in perfect sync.
Anything less than 500,000 will not be sold.
This made the guests' fans very angry.
Just shoot a video, start live broadcast and start complaining and so-called exposure.
Some said that this was a hype for "Another Life" to sell tickets at high prices.
Some said that the scalpers got the information and deliberately drove the price so high.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, it's the fault of "Another Life".
If you say that we shouldn’t let anyone see it, then just don’t let anyone see it.
Why then can those who queue up and get a number go in and see?
Even if they line up, they won't be allowed in without a number.
Those who have these ideas are usually not loyal fans of these guests. Most of them are just casual fans or pure passers-by.
Because, anyone who is a fan of these guests, or a viewer who follows and watches the live broadcast of "Another Life", knows it.
The cold noodles we queued up to buy this time were not just cold noodles.
This time there are 11 watch lottery spots provided by Mo Qingyan.
Although there are only 11 places available.
But what if you get lucky?
What if I win the lottery?
That's like winning the lottery!
A watch is worth hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, this queue number is really worth hundreds of thousands.
After all, no one can guarantee whether their number will win the prize.
Even if there is no lucky draw, now, except for the riders, all the people queuing here are rich.
After all, those who have no money and can sell their accounts have already sold them in the last two rounds.
Those who can stay now are Mo Qingyan's fans who are not short of money.
Among these fans, many are executives of large companies, or even business owners.
You want to bribe others with just two thousand yuan? Are you kidding me?
Therefore, those who posted videos and started live broadcasts to complain were immediately besieged by fans and passers-by who knew the truth.
When those who sold their numbers found out, not only could they eat delicious food, but they could also participate in a lucky draw. I regretted it immediately.
They really didn't expect that this national prodigal would be such a spendthrift.
They actually took out 11 watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for a raffle.
However, they soon comforted themselves in their hearts.
There are three hundred people queuing here!
Even if it's a lottery, there's no guarantee that he'll be the winner!
The probability of this happening is very small.
So, one thousand yuan is still more affordable!
At least, you get the money.
Among them is the owner of a food festival stall who has already obtained a number.
This stall owner originally sold sesame cakes, but after seeing that Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea was selling so well, he immediately became interested.
I also learned to sell kumquat lemon tea.
After all, this kumquat lemon tea is easy to make.
You can learn it in one go.
Not to mention, the ingredients he used were very fresh, and he did not use saccharin but real honey.
So, the sales are pretty good.
As a result, his sesame seed cakes also sold much better.
Because his stall is close to the coffee shop, although it officially opens at 10 o'clock.
However, he and his wife came early to prepare the ingredients and make the sesame seed buns.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived early in the morning, I saw a long queue in front of the coffee shop.
He didn't even think about it.
He immediately grabbed his wife, left the stall, and ran to join the queue.
The news that Mo Qingyan was selling kumquat lemon tea in the coffee shop had already spread throughout the food festival.
Everyone here knows that there is a rich second-generation prodigal who spent a huge sum of money to rent a coffee shop for a week to sell kumquat lemon tea.
Moreover, kumquat lemon tea is made from tribute tea worth 20 million yuan.
The price is only one hundred yuan a cup.
This price is almost like free.
The key is that it tastes really good.
It is so delicious that after drinking this kumquat lemon tea, you will find that other tea drinks are rubbish.
Although this stall owner has never tasted real kumquat lemon tea.
But he knew that this kumquat lemon tea was valuable!
As long as you get the number, you don’t have to buy it yourself.
If you sell it, you can make a thousand dollars directly.
He worked hard to set up a stall during this food festival, and even when business was best he only made a thousand yuan in two days.
As long as both the couple get the number.
They can then pocket two thousand dollars safely.
They were lucky this time and were actually able to get a spot in the queue.
Even when they lined up, there were still seats behind them.
But soon, they were lined up by other stall owners.
At the beginning, when they knew that Mo Qingyan was not selling kumquat lemon tea this time, they hesitated.
Moreover, some people only offered a hundred yuan for this number at the beginning.
They have been queuing for three hours.
If this product is only sold for a hundred yuan, they might as well buy the cold noodles themselves to try it.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, the price of this number was raised to one thousand yuan.
At this point, the couple running the pancake stall immediately sold their number.
I’m afraid those who bought the account will regret it.
After selling the numbers, the couple went back happily and prepared to make their sesame cakes.
Unexpectedly, not long after, I found out that Mo Qingyan was planning to hold a lottery this time.
"Honey, do you think our number will be picked?"
The proprietress of the pancake stand said with some regret: "If we had known there was a lottery for Huayi watches, we would not have sold the number."
The pancake stall owner said, "Oh, so what if there is a lottery? There are three hundred people in line, and the probability of us being selected is too small. How can we earn two thousand yuan?"
"That's right. With so many people, the chances of us being chosen are slim. And our luck can't be that good."
The couple could only make their own arrangements in their minds. They sold their two numbers for two thousand yuan. It can be considered a very lucky thing.
It's impossible to win the prize again.
Those who sold their accounts basically thought this way.
Three hundred servings of cold noodles had already been cut and packed before we arrived.
Once you arrive at the site, just add the cut ingredients and sauces and then pack it up.
Mo Qingyan and others came with a large group this time, and the three hundred servings of cold noodles were sold out quickly.
After the cold noodles were sold out, the fans who bought them started eating them in the store, either standing or sitting.
Fortunately, the store is big enough to accommodate three hundred fans.
Several of them, like Xu Yi, bought three copies directly.
Even if it's three servings of cold noodles, you can eat them in one go and finish them quickly.
After all, a serving of cold noodles is not that big.
After eating, drink the free ice water provided by the store.
I suddenly felt very satisfied.
After eating and drinking, it was finally time for the lucky draw that everyone had been looking forward to.
When the audience in the live broadcast room saw that the lucky draw was finally about to begin, they held their breath.
"I regret it so much. If I had known that so many people were selling their accounts today, I would have flown over there last night."
"That's right. I thought there would be no number today, so I gave up on going there."
"I saw that those who were selling numbers were all vendors at the food festival. They were even wearing custom-made aprons from the food festival!"
“Only those stall owners can queue up. They are the only ones willing to sell numbers.”
"Tell me, if they knew the number this time, they could win the lottery. And the prize is a Huayi watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, would they regret it so much that they would vomit blood?"
"I wouldn't bleed if I knew there was a lottery. I would bleed if I knew I won the lottery with the number they sold."
"That's not a high probability. There are only less than 20 accounts sold."
…
Mo Qingyan doesn't care whether those people sell their accounts or not.
He just draws the lottery fairly, impartially and openly.
His lottery method was simple and crude. He simply asked the clerk to fold the 300 numbers and put them in a transparent box.
Then, in front of everyone, he reached in and pulled out a card at random.
"The first spot will be drawn now."
Mo Qingyan reached her hand into the transparent box.
Everyone present held their breath involuntarily.
Then, in front of everyone, Mo Qingyan casually grabbed a piece of folded paper.
Then, he handed it to Gao Moqi who was standing beside him.
Mo Qingyan opened the folded note in front of everyone.
Those who were holding the slips of paper couldn't help but hold the queue number tightly in their hands.
Gao Moqi glanced at the number in his hand, then turned it over.
"No. 146."
“Ahhh…”
The girl who had been offered a number by the young man suddenly jumped up from her chair excitedly.
Holding the number in his hand, he shouted frantically: "It's me, it's me, number 146 is me."
Mo Qingyan smiled and said to the girl, "Then please ask this beautiful girl to come up and receive the award."
Amid the envious gazes of everyone, the girl walked through the crowd and came in front of Mo Qingyan.
Mo Qingyan then took out a bag from a box nearby and handed it to the girl.
Then he said, "Sorry, the prizes are also randomly drawn, so we can't be sure whether this watch is a women's watch."
"It's okay, Brother Mo. I'm already very happy that I won the prize."
Girls don't care whether it's a men's watch or a women's watch.
She was so excited that her brain was almost deprived of oxygen.
This girl is actually not a company executive or a company boss, she is just an ordinary worker.
She flew here directly from City B last night.
It was just because she had eaten the cold noodles made by Mo Qingyan last time and she had been thinking about it ever since.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived, it was still too late.
Didn't get in line.
But fortunately, she bought the number from a stall owner for one thousand yuan.
What was even more unexpected was that this number actually won the prize.
This is a watch worth hundreds of thousands!
Oh my God, she felt at this moment that all her luck in this life was probably spent at this moment.
At this time, the owner of the pancake stall was watching Mo Qingyan's live broadcast.
I just want to know which numbers were drawn in this lottery.
What he didn't expect was that the first number drawn was his.
No. 146.
This is the number he sold!
At this moment, the owner of the pancake stall really felt such a pain in his chest that he wanted to vomit blood.
The proprietress of the pancake stall felt a black screen before her eyes and almost fainted.
Oh my god, they actually missed out on hundreds of thousands.
No, those hundreds of thousands had already been in their hands.
As a result, they sold it to someone else for one thousand yuan.
Oh my God, what a tragedy!
