Chapter 93: Buying Cigarettes
On the morning of the second day after Li Weiyi returned to the survival base, he took Bai Weiwei to the military hospital to visit Zhang Jinsong and Nian Youwei.
Both of them are in good physical condition. In another half month, they will be full of energy again.
Moreover, Zhang Jinsong and Nian Youwei secretly praised Li Weiyi for being able to pursue Bai Weiwei.
Moreover, Bai Weiwei's generosity and propriety made the two men envious. They beat their chests and stamped their feet, praising Bai Weiwei non-stop.
That guy was almost praising Bai Weiwei as if she was a fairy from heaven who had come down to earth.
He kept praising Bai Weiwei, and the smile on his face never stopped for a moment.
Finally, Zhang Jinsong and Nian Youwei said that Li Weiyi was blessed in several lifetimes to have found such a good sister-in-law for them.
Seeing the two of them talking nonsense endlessly, Li Weiyi broke out in a sweat and could only pull the smiling Bai Weiwei away.
After coming out of the military hospital, Li Weiyi and Bai Weiwei walked casually on the road.
"Your two brothers are really interesting! They are good at praising people!" Bai Weiwei said with a smile. When she thought of the scene just now, she couldn't stop laughing.
"How can they be praising me? It's just nonsense!" Li Weiyi said helplessly.
"What? Are they just making it up when they say I'm pretty, generous and decent?" Bai Weiwei looked at Li Weiyi with an unfriendly look.
"Uh..." Feeling a chill, Li Weiyi quickly changed his words: "Of course not, if anyone wants to praise, I should be the one to do it, Weiwei, don't you think so?"
"Hmph! That's better!" Bai Weiwei smiled again. She held Li Weiyi's arm with both hands, feeling sweet in her heart.
"By the way! Weiyi! My dad wants to see you!" Bai Weiwei suddenly said.
"Huh!? Your dad wants to see me? What's the matter?" Li Weiyi asked mindlessly.
"Stupid! Of course my dad wants to meet his daughter's boyfriend and see if he can pass his 'eyes'!" Bai Weiwei said speechlessly.
"Oh!" Li Weiyi scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sure! When?"
"My dad will come to Survival Base No. 7 the day after tomorrow and stay for a few days before leaving. It will probably be just two days!" Bai Weiwei said.
"Then I have to prepare well, but I don't know what uncle likes?" Li Weiyi asked.
"My dad likes the 'Qingsong' brand cigarettes produced by Survival Base No. 9 the most. However, you may not be able to buy them in our Survival Base No. 7. That brand of cigarettes is only produced by a small factory and they probably won't be shipped to our Survival Base No. 7. You can just choose any brand of cigarettes. My dad is not very picky when it comes to smoking." Bai Weiwei thought for a while and said.
"Oh? Is it only available in Survival Base No. 9? Well, okay! I'll see what I can do!" Li Weiyi said, but he was planning in his mind to go to Survival Base No. 9 later.
Survival Base No. 9 is located about one thousand kilometers northwest of Survival Base No. 7. With Li Weiyi's flying speed, he can easily fly back and forth in one night.
Afterwards, Li Weiwei and Bai Weiwei stayed together for a while. Bai Weiwei had something to do, so she left first.
Li Weiyi had nothing to do, so he decided to go directly to Survival Base No. 9.
After flying at a constant speed for nearly five hours, Li Weiyi finally arrived at Survival Base No. 9.
After entering the No. 9 Survival Base, Li Weiyi asked someone where he could buy "Qingsong" brand cigarettes, and then went there directly.
"Qingsong" brand cigarettes are quite famous within the No. 9 Survival Base, but they are not a popular product and are only popular among a few people.
This is because the taste of this brand of cigarettes is comparable to that of high-end brands, but its price is higher than those high-end brands.
Therefore, the number of people who buy Qingsong brand cigarettes is much smaller. Except for some people who like it very much, few people buy it.
Therefore, there are very few tobacco shops that sell this brand of cigarettes, and there are no more than ten of them in the entire No. 9 Survival Base.
Not far from where Li Weiyi was, there happened to be a store selling this brand of cigarettes.
"Jiucheng Tobacco Shop" is the tobacco shop not far from Li Weiyi.
"Boss! Bring me two packs of Qingsong brand cigarettes!" Li Weiyi shouted to the boss as soon as he entered the store.
"okay!"
The boss was a plump middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was playing games there. When he heard that a business had come, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"You want Qingsong brand cigarettes, right?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes! Boss! Do you have any more goods here?" Li Weiyi asked with a smile.
"Of course! This brand of cigarettes is my favorite! It's just a little expensive! Otherwise, I can smoke a pack a day!" said the middle-aged man half-jokingly.
"Oh!? Boss! How much is this brand of cigarettes?" Li Weiyi asked curiously. At that time, Bai Weiwei did not tell him the specific price.
The middle-aged man did not say anything, but instead extended a finger mysteriously.
"One thousand and one?" Li Weiyi asked tentatively.
But the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
"Ten thousand per piece?" Li Weiyi asked tentatively again.
The middle-aged man still smiled and shook his head. He didn't wait for Li Weiyi to guess and said directly, "Wrong! It's 10,000 per stick! And there are only ten sticks in a box!"
"Ten thousand for one cigarette? There are only ten cigarettes in a box? Then this box is one hundred thousand!" Li Weiyi smacked his lips. These "Qingsong" brand cigarettes are really not expensive at all!
Li Weiyi knew that the most common "Dazhong" brand cigarettes only cost 21 boxes, 200 yuan a pack, which was only one-fiftieth of the price of a "Qingsong" brand cigarette! It would be strange if Li Weiyi didn't smack his lips!
"Is it expensive?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile. He looked at Li Weiyi's clothes and he didn't look like someone who could afford such cigarettes, so he was even more certain that Li Weiyi would not buy such cigarettes. He thought that Li Weiyi probably heard about such cigarettes somewhere and came to ask about them. He chatted with Li Weiyi for so long because he had nothing to do and someone happened to come, so he just came to chat casually.
"Yeah! It's quite expensive!" Li Weiyi nodded in agreement, "The price of this cigarette is equivalent to the expenses of our family for four or five months!"
"Haha! We can just look at that kind of cigarettes to feast our eyes. Come, I'll recommend you a good cigarette, and it's not expensive!" As he said that, the middle-aged man took out a box of cigarettes in exquisite red packaging and handed it to Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi only glanced at the box of red-wrapped cigarettes, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Boss, how many cigarettes of that brand do you have left in your store? I want them all!"
"Oh!? There is still a whole box of this brand of cigarettes! Can you get them all?" As he said this, the middle-aged man shook the box of exquisitely wrapped red cigarettes in his hand.
Li Weiyi knew he had misunderstood the middle-aged man by looking at his expression, so he smiled and said, "Boss! I'm talking about the cigarettes I just bought, the Qingsong brand cigarettes!"
"What!? Say it again!? I didn't hear you clearly!" The middle-aged man felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Does an ordinary person also want to smoke "Qingsong" brand cigarettes? And all of them! ?
"Boss! I want Qingsong brand cigarettes! All of them!" Li Weiyi had no choice but to say it again.
"'Qingsong' brand cigarettes?! And you want all of them!?" The middle-aged man looked at Li Weiyi with some disbelief.
"Of course! Boss! Hurry up! I'm in a hurry!" Li Weiyi said with a smile.
"Okay! Please wait a moment!" After saying that, the middle-aged man hurriedly ran to get a cigarette.
After a while, the middle-aged man came out with two yellow rectangular boxes.
"Sir! These are the Qingsong brand cigarettes you requested!"
Li Weiyi picked up one and looked at it casually. The packaging was quite exquisite, but it was a bit too expensive.
However, Li Weiyi is not short of money now, he is a billionaire!
"Are there only two, boss?" Li Weiyi felt that two were a bit too few.
"Um... not many people buy this brand of cigarettes, and I'm selling them one carton at a time! How many do you want? I can ask other stores for you." The middle-aged man said carefully.
"To make it perfect, let's do ten. But, be quick, I'm in a hurry!" Li Weiyi said.
"Perfect... and ten packs!?... I... customer, are you kidding me?" The middle-aged man looked at Li Weiyi and thought he didn't look like someone who could afford ten packs of Qingsong brand cigarettes. He was really afraid that Li Weiyi was teasing him. Then, the money for the other eight packs would be charged to him. That would be a huge sum of money for him!
"Of course not! Do I look like a liar?" Li Weiyi asked speechlessly.
"In my eyes, you really seem to be teasing me!" Of course, the middle-aged man couldn't say this out loud, so he could only criticize her in his heart.
"Since you really want it! Then I'll contact other stores!" After saying that, the middle-aged man hurriedly contacted other stores.
"Hey, Lao Wang! Do you still have any Qingsong cigarettes?"
"Oh! There are more! How many are there?"
"Three? Okay! I want them all, but you have to deliver them to me quickly! I have a customer waiting impatiently!"
"Okay! Okay!"
…
"Hey! Lao Zhao! Do you have any more..."
…
"Sir! Please wait a moment. In less than ten minutes, the ten packs of 'Qingsong' brand cigarettes you ordered will be here!" The middle-aged man put down the communicator and said to Li Weiyi.
"Okay! I'll wait!" Li Wei nodded.
"Please sit here!" The middle-aged man immediately picked up a chair and placed it next to Li Weiyi.
"Thank you, boss!" Li Weiyi thanked him, then sat down and looked around the tobacco shop.
The shelves in the tobacco shop are filled with various brands of cigarettes, the variety is so dazzling that it is overwhelming.
Li Weiyi looked around the tobacco shop for a moment, but found that the middle-aged man was still standing in front of him with a smile and a hesitant look on his face, and he did not leave.
Li Weiyi thought about it for a moment and understood the middle-aged man's intention. It seemed that he still didn't quite trust himself.
With a slight smile, Li Weiyi said, "Boss! Scan your face!"
"Okay! Please come here!" The middle-aged man immediately and happily brought Li Weiyi to the facial payment screen.
"Guest! Please!"
Li Weiyi stood in front of the facial payment screen, and heard a "beep!" and an electronic synthesized sound rang out.
"Payment successful! Your total spending this time is 10 million yuan!"
Hearing the successful payment voice, the middle-aged man was obviously relieved. When he looked at Li Wei again, he secretly sighed in his heart: "Looking at an ordinary young man, he can easily take out 10 million. It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!"
After waiting for less than ten minutes, the other eight cartons of "Qingsong" brand cigarettes were delivered.
Li Weiyi stuffed all the cigarettes into his backpack and set off back to Survival Base No. 7.
