Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 106 Winning the Prize
"Ah, I won the prize, I won the prize."

The lottery drawing process of this issue was being broadcast live on TV. After the seven numbers were announced, my father shouted excitedly and clapped as he shouted.

"Dad, are you possessed?" A-Zu said with disdain, not hearing what the excited dad shouted.

The old man pointed at the TV screen and said happily: "What do you mean by possessed? I won the lottery."

"What prize did you win?" Everyone asked casually, thinking that Lao Dou would only win a consolation prize of five or ten yuan. "I won the first prize." But they didn't expect Lao Dou to say something shocking, which confused everyone.

The second brother listened to the host on TV talking about the first prize of five million and asked in a daze: "Dad, you got slapped in the face, right? First prize?" Dad insisted that he had won the first prize.

"Do you believe him? If he won the lottery, would he still be so clear-headed?" The old lady was sober. The old man was not convinced, "Uncle, I can't win the lottery? Do you dare to bet?"

Seeing the father's confident look, the nanny also began to believe it. She put away the sweater she was knitting, walked to the father and said excitedly: "Uncle, you really won the first prize?" The father didn't say anything, but just kept laughing. The nanny believed it completely, and fainted and fell on the chair next to her. The second sister-in-law hurried over to help the nanny, while the eldest brother was busy looking for medicine oil.

The eldest brother found the medicinal oil and asked his second sister-in-law to wipe the mother's head. It took a lot of effort to make the mother sober up. Then he asked the old man, "Why are you sober, old man?"

"Of course, as the saying goes, old ginger is spiciest." The old man began to brag.

"Dad, you're also a ginger junkie, and it's ginger juice, you're dizzy." A-Zu also began to talk nonsense. "Dad, you won the first prize, and after deducting the tax, there is still 4 million left, wow, dad, you're rich." Kang Qirui said with a smile.

When everyone heard that there was four million, they all started discussing how to spend the money. "Stop arguing, stop arguing. Your mother is in this state now. Why are you talking about this?" The old man stopped everyone from discussing and looked at the mother with concern.

"Dad, the old lady is fine. She was just temporarily overwhelmed by the victory. It's nothing serious." A Zu was still more concerned about how to spend the huge sum of money. "That's right, old lady, now that you have money, you don't have to suffer anymore. You can go to the teahouse with Dad every day to drink tea, eat shrimp dumplings and eat roast goose every day." The big boss shouted to the half-awake old lady.

"Oh, roast goose in a teahouse, I think, let's check the newspaper to see if there's any travel around the world." Ah Zu thought it would cost too much to eat roast goose, it would be better to go out for a trip, "But remember to take us with you, this is what I've always dreamed of."

"Master," the second sister-in-law shouted, and then said tremblingly: "Master, I don't have any high demands, I just want..." The second sister-in-law was so nervous that she stuttered, and it took a long time to make it clear what she wanted.

Seeing the disappointing look of the second sister-in-law, the second brother said angrily, "Alright, alright, I know what you want. Isn't it just to buy a western-style building, raise a foreign dog, and find a demon to guard the door?" The second sister-in-law nodded repeatedly, and then added, "Also, and also, two diamond necklaces."

A Yao also said quickly: "Dad, they all have a share, and I can't be left out. I just want to..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his dad, "Do you think Dad is running a gold mine? You can dig as you please?"

"Dad, you are right. You are the gold mine." A-Zu responded with a smile.

Dad waved his hands and told the truth, "Fortunately, I only simulated the winning this time." Dad confused everyone for the second time tonight. Simulated winning? How could I really win? "Are you kidding?" Mom also woke up at this time.

"Can't afford it?" The old man told his plan in full, "Recently I've been studying the probability of winning. I can pretend to buy lottery tickets so that I don't have to spend money. I'll be happy if I win, and I won't lose money if I don't." So that's how it is? Everyone was happy for nothing, and they all blamed the old man.

Two days later, Kang Qirui got off work when he received a call from Da Lao Guang, asking him to go to the restaurant at the corner of the street to eat. He and Xianglan treated everyone to a meal tonight. Kang Qirui looked at the calendar. It wasn't a big day, so why treat everyone to a meal? He didn't think too much about it. After picking up Zhu Wanling from the hospital, he went home to put down his things and change clothes before going to the restaurant.

When Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling arrived, the others were already drinking tea. Seeing Kang Qirui coming in, the boss picked up the menu and said to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let's order. What do you like to eat?"

"Then I won't be polite." A-Zu took the menu and teased Big Brother Guang, "How about a pound of shrimp first?" Lao Dou thought A-Zu was serious and quickly snatched the menu from A-Zu, "Well, let's have a soup first. Tofu stew is good, pickled vegetables and pork intestines are also good, and a bitter melon fried egg."

"Bitter melon fried eggs? Sister Jiao makes it better. Why don't we go home and eat it?" A-Zu didn't want the boss to spend a lot of money, but the dish was too shabby, so he said unhappily.

The mother hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "It's just the boss who invited us to dinner. Do you think your boss invited us to dinner?" The mother of Lao Dou felt sorry for her eldest son. She knew that he didn't have much money, so she thought that they should just eat something casually. "It's okay, mother. My husband and I haven't invited the whole family to dinner for a long time. This is the first time. It's up to everyone. The most important thing is to have fun." The eldest brother took the menu from Lao Dou and handed it to A-Zu. They didn't have a wedding banquet, so this was really the first time they invited everyone to dinner, and he also wanted everyone to eat well.

"A Guang, today is not your or Xiang Lan's birthday, nor is it your wedding anniversary. Why waste it?" the nanny asked. Kang Qirui was also curious about this question, but A Zu didn't take it seriously. "This is normal. Maybe the boss suddenly wanted to treat us to a meal on a whim."

"I know, it must be." The second sister-in-law said halfway but stopped. Everyone looked at the second sister-in-law in silence, and the second sister-in-law explained: "I thought the eldest sister-in-law was pregnant, but I didn't see the difference, so I didn't say anything."

"Don't guess, I'll just tell you straight away." The boss stopped everyone from discussing and said bluntly, "It's like this. I wanted to go to the store to buy a bottle of drink at noon today, but I saw a man arguing with the boss. I went over to ask and found out that the man wanted to buy 10 lottery tickets but the boss gave him 11. In order to stop them from arguing, I bought the extra ticket, and I won the prize."

"Won the prize?" Everyone looked at each other. Is this what they call good deeds bring good rewards? Then everyone asked how much money Da Lao Guang won, but Da Lao Guang asked everyone to guess.

"Fifty thousand?" A-Zu guessed. The boss just shook his head, indicating that it was not true. But he added that the word five was correct.

"Boss, you don't want to tell us that you won fifty-five, do you?" Second Boss said excitedly. But A Yao didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "I bought it at the canteen. It's only five thousand yuan at most."

"Could it be five million?" The second sister-in-law also guessed. Xianglan said at this time, "Yes, it is five hundred wan." Her Cantonese was not standard, and it was not standard either. She wanted to say five hundred yuan, but she said five million. The second sister-in-law said five million, but she heard it as five hundred yuan. This is how the misunderstanding happened.

Everyone was shocked. Two days ago, Lao Dou simulated winning 5 million, and now Da Lao Guang really won 5 million? "No, no, everyone listen carefully, I won 500 dollars, not the 5 million she said." Da Lao Guang quickly explained.

"Oh, five hundred yuan, right?" The old man was a little disappointed. He had just thought that his eldest son had finally made a fortune. Kang Qirui thought for a moment and said, "Boss, what do you think of the business of this restaurant? How are these dishes?" While they were talking, the waiter had already brought all the dishes.

"Business is good." The boss looked at the people sitting outside and said, "But the dishes are just so-so. Just like A-Zu said, they are not as good as those made by Sister Jiao."

"Then what do you think about opening a restaurant and letting Sister Jiao be the chef?" Kang Qirui continued to ask. Before the eldest brother could react, the second brother was already interested, "Hey, that's a good idea. The catering industry is so prosperous now, and Sister Jiao has first-class cooking skills. It's a perfect match. There's a chance to do it, but it costs a lot of money to open a restaurant?"

"Don't open a restaurant, open a tea restaurant." Kang Qirui said to the second brother, and then said to the eldest brother, "Now tea restaurants are very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Business is good and the profit is high. How about I pay for you and your sister-in-law to open a tea restaurant?"

Kang Qirui wants to open a real tea restaurant, not the Ruhao Tea Restaurant that was originally opened by the second brother and his wife. Of course, the name can be called this. The one opened by the second brother in the original story should be strictly considered a Chinese restaurant. How can a tea restaurant be considered a tea restaurant if it does not have plate rice, milk tea, or pineapple buns? How can it be considered a tea restaurant if there is no fixed menu of ABC meals and all dishes are ordered separately?

Da Lao Guang quickly waved his hands and refused, "No, no, the two of us are not suitable to do business. And even if I want to do business, I can't take your money." Xianglan was hesitant to speak. Da Lao Guang had refused, so she didn't know what to say.

"Sister-in-law has been the store manager for more than half a year. I think she has done a good job. How come she is not suitable for doing business? Boss, your simple and honest character is also very suitable. The most important thing for a tea restaurant is the dishes, whether the ingredients are fresh, and whether the oil is gutter oil. You are really the most suitable person to do this." Kang Qirui disagreed with Boss Guang's statement. He had thought it over carefully.

Before, Xianglan was promoted to store manager to train her, just for her and Da Laoguang to open a store. Clothing and catering are both service industries, and their nature is the same. If you can be a good clothing store manager, you can be a tea restaurant manager. With Xianglan to the outside, Da Laoguang to control the quality internally, and Jiaojie to guarantee the taste of the dishes, it is difficult for this store to fail.

"And I'm not giving you money for nothing. We have shares. Just like the second brother, his second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, it's the same with the clothing company. We're not giving money for nothing." Kang Qirui continued to explain, wanting the big brother not to have any psychological burden.

"Alright, alright, eat quickly. I'll go back and think about it." The boss just changed the subject. Kang Qirui didn't expect him to agree to him all at once, so he just laid the groundwork first.

On the way back from the meal, Er Lao mysteriously pulled Kang Qirui to the back of the team and said, "If the boss doesn't want to do it, I will do it. How about you invest money and we can do it together?" Kang Qirui thought about it and still felt that the boss was the most suitable person to run the tea restaurant. Er Lao had other ideas, "The tea restaurant is too small, it's more suitable for our boss Zong. There are big business waiting to be discussed with you, Er Lao."

"Really?" Er Lao didn't quite believe it. "Of course it's true, but we don't have enough money now. Let's wait a little longer. When the clothing store makes us some more money, we can start." Kang Qirui knew why Er Lao didn't believe it, so he took the initiative to explain.
