Chapter Fourteen: Selling Cigarettes Is a Dangerous Thing

"It's just a joke, just say it casually, don't take it seriously."

Looking away from the counter, Chen Yu said seriously: "I don't need any material things such as monetary compensation or item compensation. I only 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 touched when she heard the word "go to school".

She took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, looked through the clouds and took a deep look at Chen Yu: "You just want to go to school?"

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

"...You were expelled from the No. 2 Middle School. I don't have the ability to send you back to the No. 2 Middle School." The female boss leaned back on her chair and said, "I'm just a cigarette seller, and I don't have the level of a high school principal's relationship."

"Other high schools are also acceptable, as long as you can take the college entrance examination."

"Your grades are good?"

"It's enough to go to college."

"Really?" The female boss was noncommittal.

She did not believe that a student with the potential to go to college would be expelled for smoking.

"Um……"

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

stable!

Stable!

Chen Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded calmly on his face: "Thank you then. A good man will have a safe life."

After that, he turned around and left the cigarette shop, preparing to find a deserted alley to have a good laugh.

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

"Wait a minute." The female boss suddenly said: "Aren't you homeless? Where are you going?"

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

"Stay here."

Chen Yu: "?"

"Just stay in the hotel." Standing up, the female boss walked towards Chen Yu: "The space-time gate at No. 341B in Qingcheng City has just been opened. There are many outsiders coming. It's not safe to sleep outside at night."

Chen Yu was shocked: "And...is there such a good thing?"

"You can't live in vain, you need to work for me and look after the store." The female boss pointed to the nearby counter: "How much does each brand of cigarettes cost, the cigarette import form, the transportation of goods, and the placement of goods are all your responsibility."

"No problem!" Chen Yu agreed without hesitation.

If we don't hold on to this unexpected joy, will we still be human...

"Whenever I find a good school for you, you can get out. You won't get a single salary."

"No problem...will you provide food?"

"for."

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

"In the living room upstairs, make a floor by yourself."

Chen Yu: "Don't you have a bed? I'm used to sleeping in a bed, but I have this bad habit of coughing if I don't sleep in a bed."

The female boss had a strange look on her face: "You're going to sleep in a bridge, so why don't you choose a place to live?"

"Isn't that what we have now?" Chen Yu pointed to the ceiling: "The environment is great and the decoration is good, but sleeping on the floor doesn't look good."

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

"I sleep on the bed and he makes the floor."

"...You are such a filial child."

The female boss rolled her eyes and led Chen Yu to the second floor: "Then I will find an empty room for you, and you can sleep there later."

"Sister, you are so beautiful and have a beautiful heart." Chen Yu flattered you perfunctorily: "Maybe the luckiest thing in my life is stealing your cigarettes."

The female boss felt itchy all over in embarrassment: "Shut up."

Chen Yu: "Okay."

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

Then I went to the utility room and found a folding bed and an old table. They were considered furniture.

"Stay here, mop the floor and clean the windows later."

"Okay." Putting down the salute and backpack, Chen Yu said with rare seriousness: "Thank you, sister. In fact, you are also a good person."

"Didn't you call me aunt? Now you call me sister?"

"You are so young and beautiful, you must call me sister."

"Then call me Sister Qi from now on." 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 in the morning and evening."

"Aren't you staying here tonight?"

"Of course you live here. I sleep in the master bedroom next to you. But since you are working part-time, I can get up later." Sister Qi paused slightly and said semi-threateningly: "Everything in the store is well-stocked and monitored. I advise you to keep your hands and feet clean."

"

"Look at what you said, you really think of me as a thief. I never steal anything."

"I hope you won't steal. Follow me downstairs and write down the prices of various cigarettes. You can go to work today."

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

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

"Sorry." Chen Yu sneered: "Sorry."

Sister Qi: "You should say congratulations."

Chen Yu: "..."



Chen Yu has a good memory.

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

Hongta Mountain——1680

Yunyan——1700

Liqun——1750

Red Panda - 5400

Jade Seal——5800

China——9750

In addition, there are the Yellow Crane Tower, Hongmei, Harde Gate, Daqianmen, Harbin, Furong King, Huangguoshu, Dragon and Phoenix, etc. that Chen Yu is familiar with...

Without exception, the price of every brand of cigarettes is incredibly 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, this pack of tobacco costs more than 30 cents, and the production cost is no more than 5 cents. The rest is tax."

Chen Yu: "Big guy."

"The price is just like this, whether you want to smoke or not." Putting the Chinese cigarettes back into the cabinet, Sister Qi continued: "Selling cigarettes is no better than selling other commodities. There is no need to rush to sell. Also, selling this thing is quite dangerous.

Yes, let me tell you what to pay attention to."

"You say."

"Each pack of cigarettes is very expensive, so you must not sell the wrong one, and be careful about collecting money."

"clear."

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

"clear."

"Cigarettes are a luxury product and you cannot try smoking them. If you don't pay, let them go. The law stipulates that people buying cigarettes cannot stay in a cigarette shop for more than ten minutes."

"clear."

"The most important thing to note is that among the smokers, many are mercenaries and wandering warriors. Their quality varies from good to bad, their strength is high and low, and their moods are good and bad. Don't make them angry. Don't use swear words during service.

Keep smiling and don’t get yourself into trouble..."

"squeak--"

Before he finished speaking, the store door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face walked in, holding up a wad of banknotes: "Boss, buy cigarettes. Come and pack the money..."

"Get lost! Didn't you see that I was busy?"

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

After the customer left, Sister Qi turned back and looked at Chen Yu: "Anyway, your attitude must be good."
