Chapter 14 Selling Cigarettes Is a Dangerous Thing

"Just kidding, just say it casually, don't take it seriously."

Taking his eyes back from the counter, Chen Yu said solemnly: "I don't need any compensation for money, compensation for items, and these material things. I just ask you to help me with one thing."

"What's up."

"go to school."

"..."

Maybe simple words are more powerful.

The female owner of the cigarette shop was inexplicably moved when she heard the word "going to school".

She took a breath of cigarette and slowly exhaled it, looking through the clouds and mist, she gave Chen Yu a deep look: "Just want to go to school?"

"I just want to take the college entrance examination."

"...You were expelled from No. 2 Middle School, and I have no ability to send you back to No. 2 High School." The female boss leaned back on the chair: "I'm just a cigarette seller, and I can't be a high school principal."

"Other high schools can also, as long as they can take the college entrance examination."

"Your grades are good?"

"Going to college is enough."

"Really?" The female boss was noncommittal.

She does not believe that a student with potential to go to college will be fired for smoking.

"Um……"

After thinking for a long time, the female boss snuffed out the cigarette: "If you ask for anything else, the old lady won't give you a dime. But if you go to school... I can try it, but there is no guarantee of success."

stable!

Steady!

Chen Yu felt ecstatic in his heart, and nodded calmly on his face: "Thank you then, a good man will live a safe life."

After all, he turned around and was about to leave the cigarette shop, ready to find a deserted alley and have a good laugh.

The ups and downs of life are so exciting...

"Wait." The female boss said suddenly, "Don't you have no home? Where are you going?"

Chen Yu turned around: "Find a bridge hole to deal with for a few nights."

"Stay here."

Chen Yu: "?"

"Just stay in the store." Standing up, the female boss walked towards Chen Yu: "The space-time door at No. 341B in Qingcheng has just opened. There are a lot of people from other places. It's not safe to sleep outside at night."

Chen Yu was startled: "Also... is there such a good thing?"

"You can't live in vain, you need to work for me to see the store." The female boss pointed at the nearby counter: "You are responsible for the cost of each brand of cigarettes, the cigarette entry form, the handling of goods, and the placement of goods."

"No problem!" Chen Yu agreed without hesitation.

Don't hurry up on this unexpected joy, is that still a human...

"When you find a good school for you, you can get out. There's no salary."

"It's alright... serve food?"

"for."

"No problem at all." Chen Yu made an OK gesture: "Then where do I sleep?"

"Upstairs in the living room, make a floor yourself."

Chen Yu: "Don't have a bed? I'm used to sleeping in a bed. I have this stinky problem. I don't sleep in bed and cough."

The female boss looked strange: "You're going to sleep in the bridge hole, so I'll give you a place to live?"

"It's not that we have the conditions now." Chen Yu pointed to the ceiling: "The environment is good, the decoration is good, but the sleeping floor is not good-looking."

"How did you and your head teacher sleep in the dormitory?"

"I sleep in the bed, he makes the floor."

"...you are such a filial child."

The female boss rolled her eyes and took Chen Yu to the second floor: "Then I'll find you an empty room and sleep there later."

"Sister, you are so beautiful and your heart is beautiful." Chen Yu flattered perfunctorily: "Perhaps the luckiest thing in my life is to steal your cigarettes."

The female boss was embarrassed and itchy: "Shut up."

Chen Yu: "Okay."

On the second floor, under the command of the female boss, Chen Yu emptied an empty room.

I went to the utility room to find a folding bed and an old table. Even furniture.

"Stay here, you will mop the floor and wipe the windows in a while.

"

"Okay." Putting down the salute and backpack, Chen Yu said seriously: "Thank you sister. Actually, you are also a good person."

"Didn't you call me auntie? Now it's my sister?"

"You are so young and beautiful, you must be called sister."

"Call me Sister Qi in the future." The female boss took out a key and handed it to Chen Yu: "The key to the door of the store is responsible for opening and closing the door sooner or later."

"Don't you live here at night?"

"Of course I live here. I sleep in the master bedroom next to it. But with you working, I can get up later." Sister Qi paused, half threatening: "There are several things in the store, and there are surveillance cameras. I advise you to keep your hands and feet clean. "

"Look at what you said, you really treat me like a thief. I never steal anything."

"I hope you don't steal it. Come downstairs with me, write down the prices of various cigarettes, and go to work today."

"Okay. By the way, Sister Qi, where's my brother-in-law? Are you the only one in the store?"

Sister Qi gently twisted her hair: "Your brother-in-law is dead."

"I'm sorry." Chen Yu sneered: "My condolences."

Sister Qi: "You should say congratulations."

Chen Yu: "..."

...

Chen Yu has a good memory.

The female boss, Sister Qi, only introduced it twice, and he had a general idea of ​​the pricing of all cigarettes.

Hongta Mountain - 1680

Yunyan - 1700

Liqun - 1750

Red Panda - 5400

Yuxi - 5800

China - 9750

In addition, there are also the Yellow Crane Tower, Hongmei, Hadermen, Daqianmen, Harbin, Furongwang, Huangguoshu, Longfengchengxiang, etc. that Chen Yu is familiar with...

Without exception, the price of each brand of cigarettes is unbelievably expensive.

"Why are cigarettes so expensive?" Chen Yu asked.

"High taxes."

"How high are the taxes?"

Sister Qi took out a box of exquisitely packaged Chinese cigarettes and said, "For example, the cost of tobacco in this package is more than thirty cents, and the cost of making it is no more than five yuan. The rest is tax."

Chen Yu: "Hao guy."

"The price is the same price, I like it or not." Putting the Zhonghua cigarettes back in the cabinet, Sister Qi continued: "Selling cigarettes is no better than selling other commodities. You don't have to rush to sell them. Also, it's dangerous to sell this stuff. Yes, here are some precautions for you."

"You say."

"Every box of cigarettes is very expensive, you must not sell them wrong, and you must pay attention to collecting money."

"clear."

"There will be frequent inspections by official staff, so don't talk to them. Our documents are all up to standard, and they will leave after reading it."

"clear."

"Cigarettes are a luxury item, and you can't try smoking. If you don't give money, let him go. There are regulations in the law, people who buy cigarettes cannot stay in the cigarette shop for more than ten minutes."

"clear."

"The most important thing to note is that among the smokers, many of them are mercenaries and wandering warriors. They have mixed qualities, high and low strength, and good and bad emotions. Don't provoke them. You can't use swear words in service. Keep smiling all the time, don't make yourself numb..."

"squeak--"

Before the words were finished, the door of the store was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a stubble face walked in, holding a stack of banknotes: "Boss, buy cigarettes. Come and pack before..."

"Go away! Didn't you see that I was busy?"

"Oh, then I'll come later..."

After the customer left, Sister Qi turned around and looked at Chen Yu: "In short, you must have a good attitude."

Chen Yu: "Ming...Understood..."
