Chapter 2424: Lao Liu, who is not a man’s son, Hong Dou, who is extremely lucky

Xu Hongdou didn't ask Li Qingyan how much he helped Lao Mo, just because the man in front of him wanted to eat meat dragon. He actually made the boss change his temper, run over in a hurry, break his own rules, and come to the store early to do business.

Within half an hour, Lao Mo came out of the back kitchen, brought out a plate of cut meat dragon, placed it on Li Qingyan's table, and said with a bit of impoliteness.

"Eat quickly and leave after eating so I can rest!"

Even so, Lao Mo still had a smile on his face and turned around and walked into the kitchen. The other customers had all ordered, and he still needed to serve, so he had no time to chat with Li Qingyan.

Doing business means opening the door to welcome customers. Since the store has been opened, Lao Mo can't chase customers away, of course, one person is an exception.

"Try it, Lao Mo's craftsmanship should be good. Although I haven't eaten it for several years, it still has the same taste!"

Li Qingyan was not polite and directly picked up a piece of meat dragon with chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of him. He ate it deliciously and did not maintain his grace in front of the beautiful woman.

Of course, the outfit Li Qingyan was wearing today, consisting of a vest, shorts, and flip-flops, looked like a streetwalker, which did not match that of a gentleman, so there was no need to maintain any grace.

Xu Hongdou picked up a piece of meat dragon and put it on her plate. She lowered her head and took a bite. The taste was still familiar. Tears instantly flowed down her face. She couldn't help but think of Chen Nanxing again, and the sadness in her heart kept pouring out. , while crying and eating the meat dragon, his emotions seemed to have collapsed.

Li Qingyan's powerful five senses sensed the endless sadness in the girl opposite him, and he did not raise his head. At this time, he only needed to keep quiet, and letting the other party vent would be more conducive for her to come out as soon as possible.

After an unknown amount of time, all the guests left. Only Li Qingyan and Xu Hongdou were left in the small shop. Lao Mo stayed in the kitchen without coming out.

Xu Hongdou wiped the tears on her face and raised her head. The pear blossoms were covered with rain. I felt pity for him. He blinked his big watery eyes a few times, retracted the tears, and looked at Li Qingyan sheepishly.

"Sorry for disturbing your interest in eating!"

Xu Hongdou took out her mobile phone to pay for breakfast, stood up and was about to leave. It was obvious that she was still in a low mood from the emotional breakdown just now.

"Since you said that, why not show it with actual actions!"

Li Qingyan sat at the dining table with his arms folded, looking up at Xu Hongdou who was about to leave. The face that was almost exactly the same as Liu Qianqian's made him feel soft in his heart, and he suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Xu Hongdou stopped in confusion. She didn't understand what Li Qingyan meant. She stared at Li Qingyan closely with her big eyes, shimmering, as if he could speak.

"I haven't been back to Shanghai for a long time, and I want to have fun for a day. You can be my tour guide for a day, as an apology!"

Li Qingyan stood up and walked in front of Xu Hongdou, walking straight out without stopping, not caring about Xu Hongdou to follow him.

Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qingyan's back, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally took a step towards Li Qingyan.

The two walked in the alley one after another, filled with all kinds of small shops, full of noisy life. Li Qingyan walked leisurely and strolled in. He was dressed in a down-to-earth outfit and blended in well with the environment here. On the contrary, Xu Hongdou Dressed in a fashionable and out-of-place style, many people looked at this uninvited guest.

Li Qingyan seemed aimless, just strolling around casually, and not talking to Xu Hongdou behind him. He was casual and leisurely, but Xu Hongdou gradually recovered from his sadness and became a little more relaxed.

Suddenly, Li Qingyan's eyes narrowed and he looked at a small shop. He quickened his steps and walked straight in. Xu Hongdou followed closely behind and stood in front of the shop with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Lottery shop, what is he doing here?"

"Boss, give me a scratch-off worth two hundred yuan!"

The boss quickly took out the scratch-off ticket, counted out two hundred yuan and handed it to Li Qingyan. Li Qingyan took out his mobile phone to scan the code, transferred the money, and walked out with the scratch-off ticket without scratching it in the store.

Xu Hongdou followed behind with a look of confusion on his face, and walked all the way to the shade of a tree. A small stall suddenly came into view. Li Qingyan walked to the stall and sat down.

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Qingyan and the stall owner with a strange look. The stall owner was an old man in his seventies, wearing a vest, shorts, flip-flops, sitting cross-legged under the tree, holding a big cattail leaf fan in his hand. Fan it twice from time to time, and there are a few words written on the stall: the immortal guides the way, and the Book of Changes explains the hexagram.

This is a fortune-telling stall. Li Qingyan is a guest of a five-star hotel. It is impossible for him to be related to such a stall. What's more, Li Qingyan and the stall owner are wearing matching clothes. One is old and the other is young, sitting cross-legged. They looked at each other, looking inexplicably happy, which made Xu Hongdou's big eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a bit of a smile.

"Uncle, is your fortune telling accurate?"

"Young man, if you ask around, who doesn't know that I, Zhou Lao Duan and Tiekou Shen Duan, have been doing this for three generations? Are you sure?"

The old man was very confident, his head slightly raised, his eyes glanced at Li Qingyan, showing arrogance, the cattail leaf fan in his hand increased the speed of fanning, and the sparse hair on the top of his head suddenly became messy, revealing the shell of his extremely smart head. A hint of immortality.

"Uncle, three generations of your family have been doing this. It's worth a try!"

Li Qingyan's handsome face showed a look of wonder, and his clear and bright eyes shone with admiration, making the old man straighten his waist instantly.

"Young man, you know what you are doing!"

The old man stopped holding the cattail leaf fan in his hand, lowered his head and said with a smile.

"What do you want to count, love, wealth, career, or something else?"

"Uncle, I want to calculate my fortune. How much money do I need?"

Li Qingyan looked a little pious and stared at the old man closely, seeming a little nervous.

Xu Hongdou felt a little strange. Although she had not known Li Qingyan for a long time, as the manager of the housekeeping department, she had seen all kinds of guests, welcomed them and sent them off, and had developed a good eye. You can make a pretty good guess about this person's character. Li Qingyan is an unfathomable, mature and stable man. He will never be so unstable, nor a person who asks for divination and answers. This is what he needs to do. what to do?

Xu Hongdou's big eyes stared at Li Qingyan with a bit of curiosity. She was confused by Li Qingyan's actions. Every step was beyond her expectation, including the behavior of buying scratch tickets just now.

"Calculating wealth, it's easy! Just give me a hundred yuan!"

With a warm smile on his face, the old man took out his payment code and placed it in front of Li Qingyan. He was secretly happy. It was best to forget about his wealth. Generally, such people were not rich, and rich people would not come to his little blanket to tell fortunes. They just made a few words and earned this hundred yuan. It was really... So relaxing.

"Uncle, the fortune I want to calculate is different from the ordinary ones!"

Li Qingyan quickly took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code, paid the hexagram fee, and then spoke again.

"oh?"

"What's the difference? I haven't thought about anything, just say it, don't give me money!"

The old man said very boldly and confidently. After all, the calculation was about future wealth. Even if it was not accurate, he would go to other places to set up a stall in a few days. I had never heard of whether this young man could come back to him. No refunds are allowed for fortune telling. This is the same as seeing a doctor. No matter whether the doctor can cure the patient or not, the medical fees will not be refunded.

"That's good, uncle, you have great powers, I will definitely not be able to trouble you!"

Li Qingyan said complimentarily. He quickly took out the scratch-off ticket he bought earlier from the pocket of his shorts. He smiled brightly and said respectfully.

"Uncle, I just bought a scratch-off ticket worth 200 yuan. Can you calculate how much money I can win this time?"

The old man was dumbfounded. The cattail leaf fan in his hand instantly slipped out and fell to the ground. The old man was sweating on his forehead, his face turned red, and his eyes widened. He looked at the sincere Li Qingyan in disbelief, and his hands began to tremble, like It's senile Parkinson's disease.

Xu Hongdou's eyes widened when she heard this, with an obvious smile in her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands. She couldn't help but want to laugh. The uncle's reaction was like being struck by lightning. It was so funny.

"This person is really bad. He actually asked a fortune teller to calculate how much money he could win in a scratch-off lottery. This is the first time I've heard of it!"

"Not a son of man, not a son of man!"

"If I could win the lottery or scratch-off tickets, would I still spend so much money every day and never win a big prize?"

"If I could do fortune-telling, I wouldn't be setting up a stall to tell fortunes. I'd be enjoying myself a long time ago. Why bother fooling around all day long?"

The old man kept complaining about Li Qingyan in his heart, but he couldn't say that he couldn't figure it out. He had to pretend to pinch the fingers of his right hand a few times, looked at Li Qingyan dryly, and said with a bit of pity.

"I've done the math. You won't win any big prizes in this scratch-off game, but you won't lose too much either. It can only be said to be a small loss!"

The old man still had two brushes, and he knew that scratch-off games were still losing money in general. This was based on his years of experience in purchasing, so he took this most likely result as his own calculation and told Li Qingyan , a touch of confidence appeared on his face again.

"Small, I really caught you off guard at first, but I'm not a jobber. I've never seen anything before, so I can't deal with a young boy like you!"

Li Qingyan looked at the swearing uncle with a look of surprise on his face, waved to Xu Hongdou standing behind him, and said with a smile.

"Come here and shave it for me. I want to see if I will lose the two hundred yuan!"

With an uncontrollable smile on Xu Hongdou's face, she squatted down and was stuffed with some scratch-off music by Li Qingyan. He had already started to scratch it with his nails, and he was very busy.

Xu Hongdou looked at the dull uncle, then at the smiling Li Qingyan, and started scraping with his fingernails.

"No hit!"

"This one won ten dollars!"

"This one missed!"

Li Qingyan kept talking while shaving, very seriously. The expression on the old man's face kept changing with the numbers he reported. It was like being on a roller coaster. He was extremely nervous. Even the fortune teller used to buy scratch tickets by himself. I have never been so nervous, my heart is pounding, and beads of sweat are on my forehead, dripping from time to time.

Xu Hongdou kept scratching, and for some reason, she couldn't help but feel nervous, as if she was expecting something, and her whole attention was devoted to it. Unfortunately, she scratched several times in a row, but none of them won, which made her a little bit nervous. Some feel lost.

Li Qingyan opened all the scratch-off tickets in his hand in just a moment. After calculation, it was only fifty yuan, which was not enough.

Xu Hongdou only won 25 yuan, and only the last two were left, so it was unlikely that he would get back his money.

The fortune teller's body immediately relaxed, and he breathed out secretly. With a relaxed smile on his face, he once again regained his confident look and said to Li Qingyan with a smile.

"Well, I'm not sure if my calculation is accurate. Even if the remaining two are both fifty yuan, there will still be a small loss!"

Xu Hongdou scratched her nails and missed the first one. The smile on the uncle's face became even brighter and he quickly continued.

"There's only one left. It looks like I've got it right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hongdou threw away the scratch-off ticket and continued to scratch the last one. The numbers were revealed one by one. Xu Hongdou blinked his eyes and was stunned. He flipped the scratch-off ticket uncertainly. He handed it to Li Qingyan and said with a trembling voice.

"I think I scratched out a million?"

Suddenly, all four eyes stared at the scratch-off lottery in Xu Hongdou's hand, and they were all stunned. Li Qingyan also glanced at Xu Hongdou in surprise. This girl was so lucky that she actually won the first prize. This is a probability of one in ten thousand.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, six zeros, one one, really a million!"

The uncle took a breath, his body was shaking, and he looked at Li Qingyan and Xu Hongdou with envy. These two people must have been very lucky. As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the face.

Li Qingyan nodded calmly, looked at the fortune teller very calmly, and said with a smile.

"Uncle, your calculation seems to be inaccurate. For two hundred yuan, you won more than one million. This should be a big profit!"

The uncle's expression froze when he heard this, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, and he said even more excitedly than Li Qingyan.

"Young man, why do you have to be so serious anymore? I'm just making a living. You won one million. Why don't you go and claim your prize quickly? Why are you staying here!"

Li Qingyan didn't want to ruin the fortune teller's job, he just wanted to have fun and make Xu Hongdou happy. Unexpectedly, this girl actually scraped out one million, which was beyond his expectation.

"Well, uncle, you are busy. Although your calculation is not accurate, next time if I buy lottery tickets or scratch-off tickets, I will ask you to do the calculation!"

The uncle smiled bitterly upon hearing this, picked up the futon on the ground, swung it around, and said with a look of rejection.

"Farewell, my job can't stand your troubles, so you'd better not come!"

Xu Hongdou was still immersed in the shock of scraping out one million, but when he suddenly heard the conversation between Li Qingyan and the fortune teller, he couldn't help laughing, and laughed like a silver bell, and most of the sadness in his heart seemed to disappear at once.

"Puch, hee hee hee!"

Li Qingyan and Xu Hongdou got up and left the fortune-telling stall, heading towards the lottery shop.

Li Qingyan's steps were still unhurried, as if winning a million didn't make him excited at all. Xu Hongdou stared at the back of the man in front of him, feeling a little more curious.

"You are so calm even if you win a million dollars, what a weirdo!"

Li Qingyan registered his personal information at the lottery shop, but the lottery shop could not redeem the one million bonus. He had to go to the Welfare Lottery Center to redeem it, which required a certain amount of time and procedures.

After walking out of the lottery shop, Li Qingyan glanced sideways at Xu Hongdou and said with a smile.

"Winning the big prize this time is due to your good fortune. After the bonus is redeemed, we will split it half and half!"

Li Qingyan didn't care about the money and generously proposed to split the bonus equally.

Although Xu Hongdou didn't have much money, he was not greedy for money. He shook his head, looked at Li Qingyan very seriously, and firmly rejected the proposal.

"You paid for the scratch-off tickets, I just scratch them for you, the bonus has nothing to do with me!"

Li Qingyan glanced at this girl in surprise. She was not greedy, knew how to exercise restraint, and was not dazzled by money. She was a good girl and said with a smile.

"In that case, I won't force it!"

"Well, it's noon, I'll take you to have a big dinner, as a thank you for helping me win a big prize, you won't refuse this, right?!"

With a sincere smile and sincere eyes, Li Qingyan extended a lunch invitation.

"Okay, if someone invites you to a feast, who would say no?"

Xu Hongdou temporarily got out of her depressed mood and accepted Li Qingyan's lunch invitation graciously. Her smile was bright, radiant and extremely beautiful!

Five-star hotel, western restaurant.

Li Qingyan and Xu Hongdou sat across from each other. The entire restaurant was luxuriously decorated, making people hold their breath while entering, and it was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Li Qingyan took a look at the ingredients, 5A grade Wagyu beef, beautiful marble pattern, very fresh, just flown in from Japan in the morning. He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Xu Hongdou and asked.

"How aged do you want your steak?"

"Seven mature!"

It was not that Xu Hongdou had never eaten Western food before, but it was her first time to enjoy expensive Western food in the five-star hotel where she worked. Especially when she was surrounded by her colleagues, she felt a little strange.

"One piece is seven ripe, one piece is ten ripe!"

As soon as Li Qingyan said this, the chef looked at Li Qingyan in shock. No one had ever asked for a mature steak in a high-end restaurant like this. This was simply a waste of natural resources.

"Why, I can't bear to eat raw steak, can't I?"

Li Qingyan noticed the chef's gaze, with a bright smile on his face.

But when this smile fell in the chef's eyes, he felt a powerful majesty, and he quickly shook his head and responded.

"Of course there is no problem. You are a guest, and your preference is the standard of our service!"

Xu Hongdou's eyes also showed a bit of astonishment. Li Qingyan always acted out of the ordinary. In such a dining environment and atmosphere, most people would never choose a mature steak. Even if they are not used to it, they would still want it. Pretending, Li Qingyan lived as if he were extremely real, never caring about other people's opinions, free and transparent.

Li Qingyan seemed to sense Xu Hongdou's emotions, winked at her, and said with a bit of mischief.

"You don't need to set so many rules in life, and don't care too much about other people's eyes. Living like that is too tiring!"

"Only by occasionally doing things that break the rules in the eyes of others can you be a better person and make your life easier!"
