Chapter 2099 I'm his mother, I'm going to smoke.
Because there were many workers in Lu Ji's workshop, and some people even bought land here to build houses, plus several nearby villages.
This area has been developed into a small residential area.
Therefore, some shrewd people started driving mule carts, donkey carts, and oxcarts to pick up and drop off passengers early on, charging only two coins for a trip back to the county town.
The workers at Keluji Workshop now have stable wages, and if they do well, they get a bonus at the end of the month. The two coins for transportation are easy for them.
Therefore, these passenger vehicles earn more money than picking up passengers in various villages.
Not to mention others, even Lu Dasong had such thoughts.
Last time, Da Niu bought a mule cart for his family, which made it very convenient for him to travel back and forth. Seeing that he could make money from it, he thought he could give a few people a ride to earn some travel expenses.
Unfortunately, all the workers in the workshop knew him. They knew he was the father of the head manager and the uncle of the owner. With that status, no one dared to ask him for a ride. Only when Dazhuang occasionally went back would he get a ride, which made Lu Dasong very frustrated.
Therefore, the mule cart was a very convenient tool for everyone present.
Even if you don't go home often or use the car frequently, your family can drive around giving people rides, which is also a way to make money.
Moreover, this is a long-term business; even if you stop doing this job in the future, selling the mule cart won't be cheap.
So the guys who were originally hoping to win a third prize are now excitedly shouting that they want a second prize.
Da Niu chuckled and shook his head. "Alright, I haven't finished speaking yet. There's still the first prize to be won."
Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to continue.
There are three first-prize winners, but no specific prizes have been announced.
Everyone was stunned. "..." What? What does that mean? There are no prizes.
Da Niu said, "That's right, the winner of the first prize can choose for themselves. As long as the price is within fifty taels of silver, they can cash it out here at the owner's place."
"Pfft..." Everyone was incredulous.
Someone asked loudly, "Anything is fine as long as it's under fifty taels? Several kinds are fine too?"
"Yes, it's up to the winner to decide. They don't need to decide today; they can go back and think about it slowly. You'll have half a month. It's fine to cash out the prize when you start working next year."
In an instant, the people below began to buzz with discussion.
If they could buy anything under fifty taels, wouldn't they be able to buy several acres of land?
The prize is indeed very generous; it's fifty taels of silver. If they were to work step by step, without considering bonuses or wage increases, it would take them several years to achieve that.
The crowd grew increasingly excited as they talked, and they all looked up, asking, "Manager, when do we start the lottery?"
"Let's begin now," Da Niu said. "Everyone working at Lu Ji has one chance. You can draw a number yourself or have a relative draw it for you. Whether you win or not depends on your luck. Okay, everyone, line up."
For a moment, everyone forgot about eating and discussed who would be the most suitable person to draw the prize.
Most of the people lined up to draw prizes themselves, while some felt they had always been unlucky and asked their family members to draw for them.
The queue was very long. Li, who was sitting at the table, looked on with envy and said to Lu Dasong, "Our Da Niu is the manager of the workshop. He should have a spot too. I'm his mother, so I'll go draw a spot."
She looked eager to try, as if she could win the grand prize.
Fifty taels, that's no small sum.
