Although Gao Yi had never been to the western countries during the early years of the Republic of China, the so-called five years of studying abroad was just an identity experience arranged by the system.
However, no matter what, Gao Yi was born in the era of modern technology with the information explosion. He had some understanding of the early years of the Republic of China, which was the beginning of the 20th century.
Therefore, in the face of Ninth Uncle's curiosity about the West, Gao Yi chose to tell him what he knew. After all, Ninth Uncle had never been abroad before, so he didn't know if it was true or not. Ninth Uncle was stunned as he listened, and he even exclaimed from time to time.
In the end, Gao Yi placed a large bag of cigarettes and alcohol that he bought at the supermarket on the table. He opened the bag and revealed the cigarettes and alcohol inside."Master, look, these are all good cigarettes and wine that I bought in the West. I specially brought them to show my respect to you.”
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had come over at some point. They looked at the big bag of cigarettes and alcohol and exclaimed," Wah!!!"
Ninth Uncle's serious face revealed a thick smile. He happily took out a terrifying box of cigarettes and asked curiously,"These are cigarettes from overseas? Why was there such a terrifying thing drawn on the cigarette box?”
In order to deal with his five years of overseas study experience, Gao Yi chose the imported cigarettes.
In modern times, the import and export of cigarettes in any country had to follow the provisions of article 11 of the World Health Organization's framework convention on tobacco control: Any external packaging and label of tobacco products should carry a health warning stating the harmful consequences of tobacco use, which should be approved by the competent national authorities, should be rotated, should be large, obvious, eye-catching and clear, should occupy 50% or more of the main part and not less than 30%, and can be used in the form of pictures or pictograms.
"Master, the scary pictures on these cigarette packages are just to remind you of the dangers of smoking.”
As he spoke, Gao Yi took out a carton of cigarettes and opened it. Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes and opened it. He popped out a cigarette and handed it to Ninth Uncle."Come, Master, try it."
Seeing Gao Yi open the cigarette box, Ninth Uncle felt his heart ache. The packaging was so good, but he couldn't bear to open it.
"This? Are the cigarettes overseas so good?" Ninth Uncle widened his eyes and looked at the cigarette in his hand seriously. The workmanship was so meticulous and it looked so expensive. This was something that had never been seen in China. He was a little reluctant to smoke it.
In fact, there were cigarettes in the Republic of China, but the cigarettes at that time were extremely crude and did not have a filter.
Not only that, during the Republic of China, cigarettes were very expensive. Only wealthy families could afford to smoke them. Among the common people, the middle and lower classes still used tobacco pipes and tobacco pipes. They also smoked tobacco leaves. Even tobacco was a luxury!
Ninth Uncle had never seen such exquisite cigarettes before. He felt that these cigarettes were more and more noble.
"Master, don't just look at it. Come, I'll light it for you.”Gao Yi was about to take out a lighter when he suddenly realized that he did not smoke and had forgotten to buy one. He was instantly dumbfounded."Uh, I don't have a fire…"
"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Ninth Uncle swallowed his saliva and put the cigarette in his mouth. He was about to take out a match from his pocket when Wen Cai, who had good eyesight, ran over.
"Come, Master, I'll order some for you." Wen Cai took the fire material from Ninth Uncle's hand and nodded and bent over to light it for Ninth Uncle. In the end, he smiled foolishly and asked for credit.
"Yes ~~!" Ninth Uncle took a puff of his cigarette. It was really fragrant. It did not have the bitter taste of tobacco leaves at all. He looked at the lackey and nodded in satisfaction. Not bad. Seeing that you have a good attitude of admitting your mistake, I will let you off today.
Seeing Ninth Uncle enjoying himself, Gao Yi took out another bottle of wine and said,""Master, let me drink with you today and let you taste the taste of foreign wine.”
"Alright, it's rare for you to come back today. We should celebrate.”"Wencai, go cook a few dishes to celebrate," Ninth Uncle said happily.”
"Yes, Master." Wen Cai was overjoyed. He knew that his master had completely let him off. He responded and happily ran to the kitchen. He was prepared to show his big senior brother that his cooking skills were excellent.
Qiu Sheng's eyes widened when he saw that Wen Cai had been let go. He quickly asked Ninth Uncle,"Master, I, I'll go help Wencai too.”
Ninth Uncle was well aware of Qiusheng's thoughts.
"Humph! Hurry up and go!" Ninth Uncle glared at Qiu Sheng fiercely, scaring him into shrinking his neck. Ninth Uncle was well aware of Qiusheng's intentions, but he was too happy to settle the score with Qiusheng. He only remembered this time and would settle the score with interest next time.
"Yes, Master, I'll go now!" Qiu Sheng was overjoyed and quickly ran into the kitchen.
"Master, Qiusheng and Wencai are still so playful.”Gao Yi asked with a smile.
"Sigh!" Ninth Uncle gritted his teeth and sighed." These two bastards. They're not good at learning every day. I'm angered to death by them every day!"”
" Oh, right." Ninth Uncle shook his head and asked," Do you have any plans after you came back from studying abroad?"”
Gao Yi didn't have any plans. He was only here to complete the world mission, but he naturally couldn't say this out loud. He thought about it and said,""I'm back this time. I'm planning to invest in a business or a factory.”
"Do you have a specific goal and plan?”"Besides, it takes a lot of capital to run a business and a factory," Ninth Uncle said.”
"I still need to observe the market here.”Gao Yi shook his head and opened the other bag, revealing a large bag of gold bars.""Master, I should have enough capital.”
"This?" Ninth Uncle's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the large bag of gold bars. This was a wealth that he had never come into contact with before. At this moment, he felt that his Dao heart was a little unstable. He swallowed his saliva and looked away from the gold bars with difficulty. He smacked his lips and said,"Yi, you, how do you have so many gold bars?”
"Don't worry, Master. I earned all these. Their origins are absolutely clean.”Gao Yi was deeply afraid that Ninth Uncle would misunderstand his hatred for evil, so he repeatedly assured him that he had indeed bought these gold bars through proper means.
"Phew, that's good, that's good. Hurry up and pull up the bag. It's too dazzling.”Ninth Uncle heaved a sigh of relief and went forward to pull up his bag. Then, he instructed Gao Yi,""You have to keep this gold well. Don't let anyone see it.”
"Okay, Master, I understand. However, I don't know where to put it at the moment. Why don't you help me keep it first? I'll stay in the mortuary for the time being and leave after I find a place to stay.”Gao Yi discussed.
"What are you talking about? Don't be in a hurry to leave since you're back.”Ninth Uncle glared at Gao Yi and stood up. He pointed at the gold bar and said,""As for the gold, come with me.”
Gao Yi carried the gold bars and followed behind Ninth Uncle. He went to Ninth Uncle's bedroom and placed the gold bars in a secret place. Gao Yi took out ten gold bars and handed them to Ninth Uncle."Master, this is my way of showing respect to you. If you refuse, I'll leave immediately.”
"Well, alright, you're thoughtful." Ninth Uncle couldn't refuse and finally accepted it.
Seeing Ninth Uncle finally accept the gold bars, Gao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Ninth Uncle would not accept it. It wasn't that he didn't want to give more. In fact, he didn't care about these gold bars at all. It didn't matter even if he gave all of them to Ninth Uncle. However, Ninth Uncle would definitely reject him sternly. Ninth Uncle would definitely not feel at ease if he accepted them. It would even leave a bad impression on Ninth Uncle and cause estrangement. However, ten gold bars were different. Ninth Uncle would be at ease if he kept them. It would not hurt the relationship between the two of them, and it would even increase Gao Yi's position in Ninth Uncle's heart.
At this moment, Wen Cai's voice came from outside the house.
Ninth Uncle immediately patted Gao Yi's shoulder and smiled.""Let's go eat first and have a good drink.”
"Yes, Master…"
