Chapter 57: Can Cigarettes Be Sold in Bulk?
Walking on the Wutong Avenue at the south gate, stepping on the fine light and shadow under his feet, Zhang Mian couldn't help but learn Hu Dong's hands in his pockets and walked step by step, which felt good.
Hu Dong scored less than 400 points in the middle school entrance examination, and it is said that Hu Dong blamed himself for not eating for two days, in fact, Zhang Mian knew that he was playing a bitter trick, and he didn't have to be beaten and won sympathy.
On the playground, there are those who play football and basketball, they seem to have inexhaustible strength, Zhang Mian can play two beats of table tennis, nothing else, his youth is mostly on the sidelines when others are public.
If life is a lengthy and sleepy movie, Zhang Mian spends most of his time being a sober viewer.
In the crowd of basketball players, there is a young man who is particularly like Niu Fangqiang, especially his resolute expression when he goes to the basket.
Niu Fangqiang didn't know where he was now.
Out of the south gate, there are basically small restaurants on both sides, more than ten o'clock, the bosses are busy washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, some restaurants already have students watching TV and waiting to eat, at this time, of course, the main thing is to watch TV.
When you walk to the public toilet at the south gate, turn left and then right to the west, and the courtyard with the second door to the west will arrive at Zhang Mian's landlord's house, enter the courtyard, and the third room from north to south is the house rented by Zhang Mian and Su Dong.
Two rows of eight rooms facing east and west, with a courtyard in the middle, and the landlord's three-room tiled door facing south, opposite a courtyard wall.
Opposite the public toilet is a shop, which is a bit awkward, and what makes other shopkeepers even more embarrassed is that the business of this shop is particularly good.
On the afternoon of the day when Zhang Mian and Su Dong rented the house, they bought hot water bottles, towels, face plates, toilet paper and everything from this store.
The owner of the store was a short, chubby man in his thirties with glasses and a serious expression.
Zhang Mian did not hesitate to give the shop owner the nickname "glasses man", and in the future for a period of time and in a certain circle, this shopkeeper was called "glasses man" by Zhang Mian.
When it comes to the "man with glasses", everyone will think of the toilet at the south gate of No. 1 Middle School, and the yellow plate door store opposite the toilet.
Zhang Mian didn't know what he wanted to buy, so he went into the store of the "man with glasses", the "man with glasses" looked at Zhang Mian quietly, Zhang Mian felt a little pressure, so he looked down at the counter, which was basically full of cigarettes.
"A product of Huangshan 4 pieces of 5 a pack, can be sold in bulk." The "man with glasses" looked at the hesitant Zhang Xuan.
"How do you sell in bulk?" Zhang Mian asked in surprise, the first time I heard that cigarettes can be sold in bulk, and the business has been done.
"2 5 hairs." "The man with glasses" said without emotion.
"Then buy two and get a lighter." Zhang Mian is really afraid that if he doesn't buy the "glasses man", he will turn his face.
The last time I was shopping, when Zhang Mian asked to wipe the change, the "man with glasses" almost turned his face with Zhang Mian.
The "Glasses Man" store uses a supermarket system and does not negotiate prices.
In fact, Zhang Mian doesn't know how to smoke, when he was in the fourth grade of primary school, he secretly smoked his father's "Zhongding brand" cigarettes, and almost choked himself to death when he took the first puff, so he quickly extinguished it and threw it out of sight of adults.
When he was a student at Gaojiacun Middle School, when he played with Cao Xiaoshan on several weekends, Zhang Mian found that he was already a qualified smoker.
Smokers, like believers, see the enthusiasm of non-smoking, especially if you have a good relationship, you don't smoke the cigarettes he hands you as if you look down on him.
They assimilate you with great enthusiasm, even if they simply want you to smoke too, and this spiritual purity needs to be explained by idealistic theory.
Cao Xiaoshan gave Zhang Mian a cigarette several times, but Zhang Mian couldn't shirk it, and after smoking it a few times, he hurriedly spit it out when he smoked it in his mouth.
Cao Xiaoshan smokes with a sense of ritual, after inhaling the cigarette into his lungs, he spit it out of his mouth and then inhales it through his nose, and finally spits out the cigarette in a few seconds, which is called "big circulation" in his words, so that smoking is not wasted.
Zhang Mian learned from Cao Xiaoshan twice, but each time he was choked out and coughed, it seems that this "big cycle" is not suitable for beginners.
After buying cigarettes, Zhang Mian carefully put two cigarettes in his pocket, and continued to walk south, according to Zhang Mian's stepping point yesterday, there is a bookstore with a door to the west 30 meters ahead, selling books and newspapers.
The boss is very tall, wears a beige suit, and is an elegant middle-aged man.
Zhang Mian bought a newspaper in the bookstore and went to the toilet, the cigarettes have already been bought, and if he doesn't smoke, I'm sorry for the five cents, in fact, Zhang Mian is envious of Cao Xiaoshan's set of smooth "big circulation" in a certain aspect.
Zhang Mian took out a cigarette from his pocket, looked around, lit the cigarette, Zhang Mian endured the discomfort and smoked the cigarette into his mouth and then came out of his nose, and took a few puffs to get used to it, Cao Xiaoshan said that this is the basis for practicing the "big cycle", and at this moment someone patted Zhang Mian's head heavily.
Zhang Mian hates others patting his head the most, grandma said when Zhang Mian was young, compared with humans and animals because of spirituality, spirituality is gathered in the brain, if the head is patted, it will be scattered from the seven orifices, and people will become stupid.
Zhang Mian has always been convinced.
What's even more intolerable is being patted on the head when you defecate, you said that you are standing in front of the squatting Zhang Xuan, the crotch of your pants is facing him, and you also pat his head, how much do you want to avoid letting him fight with you.
This is an insult that is more formal than spiritual, and just when Zhang Mian was about to throw away the cigarette, he looked up and saw that all the resentment was gone.
Damn, how did this cargo come.
