Jiang Yu did not know that she had accumulated a group of strange fans because of her food broadcasts. She was just thinking about what to eat for lunch today.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After eating two sumptuous meals, if she was asked to eat takeout and plain porridge…
That was not impossible.
She was just that principled.
Nie Kaifeng followed Jiang Yu into a building.
The first-floor hall was similar to a gourmet food court. There were all kinds of stalls lined up, from dumplings to rice noodles to boxed lunches. One could eat a hugearray of food.
Nie Kaifeng was a little tired after walking the whole morning. He looked at the menu on the stall and swallowed his saliva. Bu Hanhai was the same. The two of them looked at each other. They knew that the money they had left was enough to order the snacks at the stall. No matter how much money they had left, they would be able to pay for it. No matter what, the only thing they were glad about was that they would not starve.
Just as Nie Kaifeng was about to say what was on his mind, Jiang Xingyi was about to take out her wallet to settle their expenses. At this moment, someone shouted, “Little Sister, do you want to try your hand at this lucky draw?”
Jiang Yu turned her head to look.
At the front desk of the food court, there was a small table beside it. On the table was a stack of paper rolls. A man stood behind the simple table and waved at them. However, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like he was an accomplice of a certain pyramid scheme.
Jiang Yu asked, “What do I have to do?”
The man introduced, “You spend money to buy a roll. The roll has squares with a coating on them. When you scratch the coating off, you’ll know what you’ve won.”
“What if I don’t win anything?”
“Then I’ll thank you for your patronage. Just like how you bought a bottle of drinks with a cap open, you may not win another one. It all depends on your luck.”
The man said meaningfully, “Little Sister, I think you are very lucky, so do you want to give it a try?”
Jiang Xingyi also asked, “How much is per draw?”
The man gestured.
“Eight Yuan?”
The man shook his head. “No, eighty-eight yuan.”
“Eighty-eight yuan?” Nie Kaifeng said in surprise, “It’s so expensive. Why don’t you just go ahead and rob us?”
Even the bullet comments said that it was too expensive.
[When I saw the lucky draw box, I thought the familiar feeling came again. It only costs one yuan to draw a grand gift bag! I didn’t expect it to be my mistake. 88 yuan is too expensive! One could draw 88 presidential suites with that!]

[This shows that one’s luck isn’t limitless. Jiang Yu’s good luck has already been used up. Now, she finally met a money swindler. I’m finally relieved. Otherwise, I can’t let Jiang Yu take all the good things, right?]
[Jiang Yu and the others definitely won’t draw the lottery. When the time comes, they’ll spend 88 yuan and draw a “thank you for your patronage.” Won’t their heads explode then?]
[Yeah, I also think that they definitely won’t draw the lottery. It’s such a waste of money. isn’t it more worth it to use this money to buy food?]
The program team was also thinking that Jiang Yu and the others definitely would not be willing. Putting everything aside, even if they really won the lottery, what could they do?
Even if they won the first prize at a food court like this, it would probably only be a few snacks. All that would only be slightly higher than 88 yuan, so they would not be losing out much. The rate of return was too low.
As expected, Jiang Yu also asked, “What’s the top prize?”
The man said mysteriously, “I can’t say for now, but it will be worth it.”
Nie Kaifeng whispered into Jiang Yu’s ear, “Sister Yu, this person must be a liar. Let’s leave quickly.”
Bu Hanhai also advised, “88 yuan is too expensive. Let’s not risk it.”
Jiang Yu turned her head and asked, “Third Brother, what do you think?”
Jiang Xingyi shrugged and said indifferently, “As long as you’re willing, I’m willing to try. I completely respect and support all your decisions.”
[Oh my God! Jiang Xingyi is too good! But I still hope that he’ll stop Jiang Yu!]
[Sister, don’t think too much. Jiang Xingyi is a brainless sister-lover. As long as Sister says so, then it’s good, good, good. As long as sister wants to do it, then he’ll do it. Having a brain? There’s no such thing.]
[But I don’t think that’s a good idea either. After all, he’s an older brother. Sometimes, it’s better to lead his sister onto the right path, right?]
[Maybe Jiang Xingyi thinks…he’s not worthy? I’m just saying. Ignore me…]
Since Jiang Xingyi had already said so, Nie Kaifeng and Bu Hanhai shut up. They had come all the way here, so they did not have much of a say.
Jiang Yu made the final decision. “I’ll do it.”
Jiang Xingyi quickly paid the bill.
Then, the man opened up the paper roll on the table and said, “Please do it.”
Jiang Yu pointed with her finger and randomly picked a square. She could not even be bothered to scratch it herself. She rolled her eyes and instructed Nie Kaifeng, “You do it.”
Of course, Nie Kaifeng did not refuse. “Okay.”
As he used his fingernails to scrape the coating, he sighed in his heart. Sigh, this 88 yuan was just thrown away like that. Forget it, forget it. It’s just a small amount of money. As long as Sister Yu is happy, it’s fine.
Nie Kaifeng’s mind had already wandered far away, so he naturally did not notice what words he had scratched out. It was not until Bu Hanhai curiously stretched his head over to take a look and exclaimed that Nie Kaifeng came back to his senses.
Nie Kaifeng lowered his head to take a look and stopped what he was doing.
“Is…is this possible?”
Two words had been scratched out—special prize.
Bu Hanhai said in surprise, “Heavens, this luck is too good! Special prize! What’s the prize then?”
Everyone: Yeah, what’s the prize?
But the man did not reveal the answer right away.
He came out from behind the table and walked forward, leading everyone to the stairs on one side and up to the second floor. The second floor was empty, but there was a huge dining table with a few stools around it. There was nothing on the dining table.
Nie Kaifeng said, “Uh, this is…”
“This is today’s special prize,” the man said, “Please take a seat. We’ll bring out the prize to you immediately.”
They did not doubt it and sat down one by one.
Then, the man clapped his hands. A group of people entered one by one, holding trays in their hands. On the trays were…dishes? The servers were all wearing the same clothes. The fabric of the clothes looked well-made, which was out of place with the clothes of the vendors downstairs. The bowls they brought were all white porcelain with patterns on them. Each plate looked very expensive. They placed the bowls on the table one by one. There were eight dishes in total. Not a single dish was too much, and not a single dish was too little. There were main dishes, fruits, desserts…
After everything was served, the man said, “This is our special prize of 88 yuan. It’s a three-star Michelin restaurant course meal. Isn’t it worth It?”
