Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1284 - 1153: The Drawing Begins (Part 2)
Previously on Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System...
Let me put it this way, if the person who drew the lot today doesn’t come tomorrow, it naturally becomes void.
If someone else tries to use this lot to purchase, then sorry, the wine cannot be sold to you.
As for how to deal with the leftover wine today? Haha, it can only be carried over to tomorrow to deal with together.
Alright, now all these bamboo lots are placed in this wooden barrel.
Does everyone see the device over there? That railing is prepared for everyone, now please start queuing up to draw lots in sequence."
With the shopkeeper’s explanation, the crowd instantly understood what was going on. At the same time, when they looked at the shop entrance, they saw many clerks over there, using bamboo to make a fence. This fence is long, allowing only one person through, but it is long, and after reaching a certain length, it turns a corner and continues to twist inward.
This thing has not been seen at all today, but as for the 21st century, it is just a common queue passage.
Of course, the passage now is very simple and crude, not as thick and elegant. But this is already enough, because he wants the effect, not aesthetics. As for the degree of aesthetics, this can be custom ordered in batches later with the carpenter.
As the shopkeeper’s words fell, those stewards who originally wanted to refuse could only sigh helplessly. There was no way, they knew very well who the person above was. Whether it’s the Emperor, the Empress, none of them can afford to offend.
Because of this, they dared not make trouble, so they waved their hands and led their group of household servants over there.
After seeing them leave, the rest of the stewards also followed suit. But the tacit understanding was that these people all paid attention to order of precedence.
After all, they know very clearly whose master is powerful. Although they can’t get to the front to buy all the wine, at least lining up at the front is no problem.
As for that Centurion? Haha, naturally he was last in line. He wanted to queue ahead, but no one paid him any heed, including the county magistrate’s household servants. When they saw him, they also showed a proud demeanor, mocking him. Which of these people isn’t a bully who fears the strong and preys on the weak?
In front of people more powerful, they don’t dare to even breathe, but in front of those inferior, they act like crowned masters, heads held high, absolutely wouldn’t even glance at you steadily.
The Centurion clearly understood this as well, and had no complaints or grievances. After all, society is just like this. He knows better than anyone that this society values status and position.
Especially being a Centurion, just someone of small military rank, this identity in society is also ignored by everyone.
But there was no other way, he could only stand silently at the end of the crowd.
And it must be said, this queue railing was indeed effective. The originally noisy crowd became orderly after entering here. Though there is a sequence for queuing, scrambling incidents never happened again.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but nod. Meanwhile, he admired that person greatly; the Emperor truly is an Immortal.
Such matters can be thought through. In this way, it thoroughly solves the chaos problem, and with this device, it ensures no more disorder will occur in the future.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but start planning. After this affair ends, he’ll definitely go to the carpenter workshop immediately to order a batch of high-quality railings. This is the storefront; it must be kept proper.
In the future, he’s also determined that any customer wanting to enter the shop must go through this corridor.
Not to mention the shopkeeper’s thoughts, just discussing the stewards’ thoughts, especially those few with high power. Though they feel helpless, when their gaze sweeps to the dozens of household servants following them, they can’t help but smile.
Joking aside, even if there’s no privilege this time, don’t forget, they have many people. Each person drawing a lot, they refuse to believe several dozen can’t draw several dozen jars of wine.
Although not everyone gets one jar, at least they can draw half.
As long as they can draw half, today they have two or three dozen jars of wine accounted for, so that they can report back with results no matter what.
Sharing this same thought, there are also others bringing dozens of household servants, especially that fellow with not high office, though his rank isn’t high, he brought quite a few people today. Full 40 people, each a lot, drawing several to over a dozen jars isn’t a problem, even exceeding his expectations.
At first his expectation was five jars, but now definitely more than five jars, making him excited for a moment.
And those disappointed are only the lonely stewards, especially those only bringing one or two people, with ugly expressions.
Especially the one second in line, he’s the Minister of the Ministry of Rites’ steward. This position is mixed among the six ministries.
Already a top-level figure.
But what he never thought was today he only brought one household servant.
Originally he thought, relying on his status, these people naturally have to give him face. If he wants to buy a few jars, it’s absolutely no problem.
But never had he thought such an incident would happen today, making him embarrassed. He himself has only two people.
As for the probability of drawing lots, it’s uncertain. At least his two people are much inferior to those with several dozen, possibly unable to purchase even one jar.
The best result is both draw a jar, meaning two people can buy two jars of wine.
This is quite different from his previous expectation. He already promised the elder back home to bring back at least 20 jars of wine.
Now she somewhat furrows her brows secretly, thinking how to report back after returning.
However, under this atmosphere, soon the drawing lot began, the first in line stepped forward and smilingly said to the shopkeeper:
"Haha, shopkeeper, I’m about to start.
I’ll say ugly words first, if our 50 people each draw one jar, then we want to take away 50 jars of wine, no problem with that?"
The shopkeeper listened to this and stroked his beard, laughing and said:
"This is naturally no problem. If your luck is good, even taking away all 200 jars, it’s just due to your luck."
Hearing this, that man nodded satisfied, then went straight to the wooden box and looked at the small round hole.
Not thinking, he reached in his hand.
And it must be said, the hole size is designed ingeniously, visually, nothing inside can be seen.
When reaching in, found no obstruction.
This design is indeed exquisite.
However, when his hand reached in, his face immediately changed.
