The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 626 Noodle Shop
Lin Jun admired this about her; she was open and generous in accepting both praise and criticism.

Lin Jun ate his fill of the meal; it had been a long time since he had eaten so heartily.

Although we can order takeout now, it's not to the point where we can eat to our heart's content.

We still have to consider the crystal cores we have.

It's still better to eat at Boss Lu's place. I can eat whatever I want without having to think about anything else.

After finishing his meal, Lin Jun watched the residents playing scratch-off lottery tickets and felt a little itchy to try it himself.

Speaking of scratch cards, he won a sausage grill machine last time.

Back then, there weren't convenient food delivery platforms, so we brought the sausage grilling machine back with us.

It became incredibly popular throughout the entire base.

He also got to experience what it was like to be Boss Lin, with everyone lining up to buy grilled sausages.

Oh dear, the sausage grilling machine was so busy, he was also busy for two days.

So he handed over the sausage grilling machine to his subordinates to run, and later a food delivery platform came along.

He started doing charity work, giving away free sausages every day, but only to the first two hundred residents.

Thinking of this, Lin Jun became even more itchy to do it.

So he simply moved a chair, sat down at the table, and played a face-to-face scratch-off lottery with his residents.

Lu Li and Shen Bing curiously approached and surrounded Lin Jun from both sides.

Since Shen Bing started owning the convenience store, he hasn't scratched it. Back then, he seemed to have X-ray vision.

Now... he reached out to touch the scratch-off lottery ticket, but there was no longer any prompting in his mind.

As for Luli, sorry, the shop owner can't scratch it.

After some deliberation, Lin Jun finally bought five scratch-off lottery tickets. When it was time to pay, he glanced at Lu Li.

Wait, that's not how the story goes. Boss Lu shouldn't have tried so hard to stop him and then said, "No need, no need, it's on you."

The imagined scenario didn't happen; instead, Lu Li gave her a gentle push.

"What are you standing there for? Why haven't you paid yet?" Lu Li said disdainfully.

Why did this person suddenly freeze? That's weird.

Shen Bing knew this person well and saw through him immediately, but she didn't say it out loud; she just suppressed a laugh.

Lin Jun glared at him. "What are you laughing at? Here, take a scratch card."

As he spoke, he slipped a bill to Shen Bing.

Shen Bing complained, "You're so stingy, you only have one."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun couldn't resist and stuffed another bill into his hand, saying, "Can't you have two and I'll have three? It's not cheap, you know~"

He bought the most expensive tier, which cost 150 points per ticket.

The two started scratching, and Lu Li started looking. Lin Jun got nothing, while Shen Bing scratched out a plate of dumplings.

"..." There was silence for a while.

They had all just finished eating, and when they saw this plate of dumplings, they were all a little speechless.

Shen Bing casually handed it forward, asking the customer in front of her, "Want some?"

The customer was delighted; she had witnessed the whole thing and was even a little envious when she saw Shen Bing scrape out the food.

But unexpectedly, the surprise came knocking on his head the next second.

Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? Here it is!

She nodded repeatedly, "Eat, eat, eat." She took the dumplings with both hands and started grabbing them with her hands.

Lin Jun was unwilling to give up, so he bought five more tickets, this time without giving any to Shen Bing.

He suspected that this person was not lucky for him and would take away his good fortune. Didn't he see that out of five tickets, he was the only one who won?

"Tch!" Shen Bing actually understood his metaphor and scoffed heavily.

Lu Li found it amusing; it seemed that Shen Bing's true form was unleashed the moment she encountered Luo Mu and Lin Jun.

Another five tickets, only one of which won.

The reward is alright, though; it comes with its own water mug, so you can have more water after you finish drinking it.

Most importantly, it can randomly refresh the drinks: cola, lemon tea, Sprite, Jia Duo Bao...

Lin Jun was quite satisfied with the reward, even though bottled water wasn't scarce these days. But not having to spend money to buy it was something everyone liked, especially since there were drinks included.

He likes to drink beverages!

Lin Jun was now satisfied. After watching the spectacle unfold, Lu Li and Shen Bing left contentedly.

In the afternoon, Lin Jun returned to the base to handle some business. Just a few minutes after he left, a first prize was awarded.

It was the very book that Lin Jun had torn apart. Tell me, isn't that fate?

Shen Bing immediately told Lin Jun about it and mocked him mercilessly.

Lin Jun hadn't even reached his office when he received the message. He was filled with regret, wishing he had scrambled a few more bills.

What if I'm the shop owner who won the first prize?

But then I thought, having a shop means I'll have to wander the world with Boss Lu.

Wouldn't that mean you could eat whatever you want without having to think about anything else?

No, no, what about the Southwest Base? Who will take over?
Ah, that's fate. You can't force something that's not meant to be. Lin Jun quickly came to this understanding.

This is the lottery shop.

The first prize winner was a noodle shop.

The shop isn't big, maybe twenty tables, and the menu is on the wall.

It includes almost every type of noodle that Lu Li can think of, such as beef noodles, hot dry noodles, noodles with soybean paste, knife-cut noodles, and oil-splashed noodles...

Of course, it's not just noodles; there are also rice noodles, mixed rice noodles, rice vermicelli, beef rice noodles, sour soup rice noodles, snail rice noodles...

The menu covered two entire walls.

The top part shows a picture of the noodles or rice noodles, and the bottom part shows the name and price.

Wow, the variety of products is incredible!

Lu Li looked around and then chose the knife-cut noodles that she craved the most.

The familiar QR code ordering process was used again, and two minutes later, the knife-cut noodles appeared on the table.

Mmm~ The noodles are thin and even, and they're chewy. Add a little vinegar, and this is absolutely amazing.

The shop owner, Li Jia, sat opposite her and ordered a bowl of rice noodles. The toppings were shredded wood ear mushrooms and shredded tofu, which looked very red and oily.

She said it tasted like home.

She said she hadn't eaten this bowl of noodles in ten years, and she cried as she ate.

While eating her noodles, Lu Li handed her a tissue and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, you can eat this every day from now on."

"Don't say you've eaten too much and are tired of it, or you don't want to eat anymore." Her way of comforting people was unique.

Li Jia burst out laughing, wiped away her tears and snot, and stopped crying.

I was focused on slurping my noodles, with Lu Li sitting across from me, and I felt exceptionally at ease.

After they finished eating, Li Jia couldn't wait to open for business.

Lu Li raised her hands and feet in support, helping her with the arrangements.

Actually, there's not much to arrange for a restaurant like this; the menu and prices are already set.

She doesn't even need to handle the cash register, nor does she need to cook a few dishes in the kitchen.

Guests can simply open the door and enter.

Li Jia knew this too, and it was lunchtime, so everyone must be hungry.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, customers flooded in.

He even shouted, "It's a newly opened shop, and it's run by people from our base, so I definitely have to support it!"

He sat down and skillfully scanned the QR code to order, and soon began to eat.

Subsequently, customers gradually saw the new store opening and wanted to give it a try.

Here, you don't have to worry about a lack of customers or poor business.

The only concern is what to do when there are too many customers, business is booming, and there aren't enough chairs.

"Sigh," Lu Li sighed, "this is all the empire I've built step by step."

Seeing that the process was going smoothly and Li Jia was adapting well, she gracefully withdrew from the scene.
