Chapter 243: Shopping Coupons
"How is that possible? It's really cheap for you to buy a car here, but when you get to the customs, it will immediately become more than 400,000 yuan! β
Shandong Dahan Liu immediately denied Mengdu's naΓ―ve statement.
"Yes, add import tax to customs, and we won't have a good deal!"
A fellow of Mr. Liu's echoed Mr. Liu's words.
"That is, if you buy a car here and go back and add tariffs, it is better to buy it in China! However, it is surprising that the price of buying a BMW car in Germany is so cheap! β
"Well, when I looked at the billboard on the side of the road in the car yesterday, it said that the French 'Citroen' car, the unit price is 4,000 euros, and I thought I was blind! Now I know that buying a car in Western Europe is like buying a refrigerator in China, the price is cheap and the quality is also high! β
At this time, other members of the Golden Autumn Regiment also joined in the discussion of the prices of BMW cars and Western European cars.
"Alright, friends, tonight, we are going to stay in Vienna, the capital of Austria. It's three o'clock in the afternoon and we have to go! β
Listening to everyone's discussion, the tour guide Xiao Luo smiled and waited for a while, seeing that everyone was almost talking, she looked down at her hands, and then sent a notice to the Jin Qiu Tuan.
As a result, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment reluctantly walked out of the BMW headquarters and boarded the minibus that was already waiting at the entrance of the building.
After the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment got on the bus, they were tired because they had visited three attractions in Munich in a row.
Within a few minutes of the bus's departure, the members of the group fell to their seats one by one and dozed off.
The minibus drove out for about three hours and entered a service area.
The tour guide Xiao Rome used the microphone to inform the members of the Golden Autumn Group who were still asleep to get off the bus and rest.
At the same time, Xiao Luo told everyone that he has now entered Austria.
Moreover, all of our current service areas belong to Salzburg, the hometown of the world-famous musician Mozart.
"Ah, this is Mozart's hometown? So, can we visit Mozart's house? β
Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, immediately put forward his idea to the tour guide.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. Tonight, we have to rush to Vienna to stay. Time is not allowed, so Mozart's former residence can't be visited today. β
The tour guide Xiao Luo humbly answered Mr. Liu's question.
Since Mozart's former residence could not be visited, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment broke off this idea, so they followed the tour guide to "get off the bus and pee" as in other service areas.
However, the current service area is slightly different from the service area that the Golden Autumn Tuan has visited before:
In addition to the petrol station, mini-mart and toilets, the most interesting thing about this service area is that there is a small passage leading to the toilet that has an additional guardrail than the other service areas.
In the middle of the guardrail, there are multiple entrances and exits.
At each entrance, there is an automatic toll box similar to the subway entrance.
Visitors who need to enter the toilet must first drop a 5 dime coin into the automatic toll box.
After the coins are inserted, the triangular barricade at the entrance will turn freely to allow visitors to enter the toilets.
The most interesting thing is that after the visitor inserts the five dimes, the automatic toll box immediately outputs a shopping voucher for 5 dimes.
With this shopping voucher, visitors can spend as much as they want at the supermarket in this service area.
In other words, after a tourist has been to the bathroom, he only needs to spend 5 jiao euros in the supermarket, then you just entered the bathroom for free.
To be honest, after a three-hour car ride in one go, there is no way that anyone in the Golden Autumn Group will not enter the bathroom.
When everyone came out of the bathroom, everyone took a shopping coupon in their hands and went to the supermarket counter to see the goods.
It's a pity that the members of the Golden Autumn Group immediately discovered that there were no goods less than 5 jiao euros on the counter of the supermarket!
There is no doubt that the shopping voucher in everyone's hand is purely a fishing bait!
Whoever is reluctant to give it up will have to shell out more than 5 jiao euros and buy other goods here.
What to do?
Everyone took the shopping vouchers in their hands and muttered in their hearts.
However, just when everyone hesitated, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, spoke!
Mr. Liu first raised the shopping coupon in his hand, shook it twice in the air, and then said loudly to his companions:
"Everyone, please don't be embarrassed! I think so, we gave all the shopping coupons in our hands to Ms. Xiao Zhang in the group. Because Ms. Zhang is the youngest group member in the group, and she is also the most beautiful group member! We give her all the shopping vouchers and she can come in handy! Do you agree? β
"Great idea!"
"Agree ββ!"
The members of the Golden Autumn Regiment listened to what Mr. Liu said reasonably, and handed the shopping coupons in their hands to Liping with a smile.
"No, no, no! I can't ask for everyone's shopping coupons! My lover and I can give you shopping vouchers! β
Liping saw that among the twenty people in the group, except for Mengdu, everyone handed the shopping coupons in their hands to them, and she panicked all of a sudden, and she was so anxious that she refused everyone's kindness.
"Oh, Ms. Zhang, since everyone volunteered to give it to you, you can take it and use it!"
Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, first stuffed his shopping coupons into Liping's hands, and then blocked her retreat with both hands, and said to the two fellows:
"Quick, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, quickly give your shopping vouchers to Ms. Zhang!"
Mr. Liu's two fellow villagers immediately stuffed the shopping coupons in their hands into Liping's hands.
Then, the other members of the group didn't wait for Liping to come to her senses, and stuffed the shopping coupons into her hands.
Helpless!
Liping glanced at Mengdu stupidly.
Mengdu also smiled stupidly at Liping and didn't say anything.
When the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe stuffed all the shopping coupons into Liping's hands, she shook her head helplessly, so she had to take 20 shopping coupons of 5 jiao and walk to the counter shyly.
However, as soon as she arrived at the counter, Liping had an idea!
She saw a simple box of chocolates on the counter for six euros each.
So, Liping took another two euros out of her pocket, made up twelve euros, and bought two boxes of chocolates from the salesperson.
After getting back into the car, Liping immediately opened the lid of the chocolate box and presented a piece of chocolate to each companion.
Together with the driver of the minibus, Liping handed out a total of 22 pieces of chocolate.
In the two boxes of chocolates, there are a total of twenty-four chocolates.
The extra two pieces, Liping was not polite, so she and the tour guide Xiao Luo each ate an extra piece.
"Oh, Ms. Zhang is not only beautiful, but also very good-looking! We gave her 18 shopping vouchers and she put two euros on them to buy such delicious chocolates for all of us! It's so impressive! β
After Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, received the chocolate from Liping, he praised Liping with special feelings.
"Yes, the chocolate that Ms. Zhang bought for us must be very sweet! Such an excellent lady, whoever marries her is the happiest man in the world! β
A fellow villager from Shandong Dahan complimented Liping with envy.
"Heyββ, look, there's no door on your mouth! Ms. Xiao Zhang is already married, and you don't know it, so don't talk nonsense here! β
Mr. Liu also used a joking tone to immediately block the words of the fellow.
"Yes, it's still Xiao Wang's good fortune! Married such a beautiful, virtuous, and good wife! With obvious jealousy and envy, Mr. Liu's fellow villagers extended their thumbs to the dreams around Liping.
"Okay, don't praise everyone, let's eat chocolate!"
The tour guide Xiao Luo found that Liping would be blushing by several Shandong men, so he hurriedly came forward to relieve her.
"Good, good, eat chocolate, we eat chocolate!"
Mr. Liu glanced at Liping again with some satisfaction, and then took the lead in peeling off the packaging of the chocolate.
So, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe peeled off the chocolate packaging one by one.
After the car returned to the road, the members of the Golden Autumn Group were eating chocolate and discussing the practice of charging for the toilets in the service area just now.
Some people say that the Europeans here are so stingy that they even charge money to go to the bathroom to relieve their little hands! In China, no matter where you go to the bathroom, you don't have to pay!
If from this point of view, the Chinese are much more generous than the Europeans!
It is also said that Europeans are too mean, knowing that tourists must go to the toilet when they come to the service area, they forcibly force tourists to leave 'peeing money' when they enter the bathroom!
In the end, it was Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, who said a unique point of view, Mr. Liu said:
"In my opinion, these Europeans are not smart enough. If you are Chinese, you will not be charged; Since the fee is charged, there must be an additional provision! What are the regulations? That is, when you spend in the service area, no matter what goods you buy, each person can only use one shopping coupon at a time. If that is added, then he will really kill the monkey! β
After listening to Mr. Liu's words, the members of the group laughed heartily one by one, and the whole minibus was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
