From the moment he was discharged from the hospital, Li Ang had changed his profession.
He didn't even need to go through the relevant procedures. The boss's secretary had done everything for him.
At that time, in addition to various subsidies, they also gave a lot of tickets.
There were food coupons, fuel coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons, snack coupons, and so on. However, there were no cigarette coupons.
It wasn't that the secretary was careless, but that the big boss didn't even need tickets to smoke. They were all specially provided internally.
In addition, Li Ang's original body did not smoke, so it was normal that he did not prepare a cigarette ticket.
"Comrade, if you don't have a ticket, you can buy this Albania. This cigarette doesn't need a ticket.”The round-faced salesperson thought that Li Ang had forgotten to bring his cigarette ticket, but she did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she enthusiastically pointed to another type of cigarette on the counter.
The name of this cigarette was obvious that it was not a domestic product, and in fact, it was not.
During this period of time, the domestic support for Brother Albania was very strong. Basically, he had to eat, drink, and sleep.
But what could this little brother give to his big brother? After thinking about it, he could only think of cigarettes.
In this era, high-end domestic cigarettes had to be supplied by tickets. Of course, if you had the ability to get in through the back door, it didn't matter if you had tickets or not.
However, the most expensive imported cigarettes were only 0.2 yuan, which was 20 cents, so they were very popular at first.
Another reason for the popularity of this type of cigarette was that it was packaged in a hard shell. There was no need to tear the mouth, just open the lid. The cigarette was not round but flat. Some even had a filter tip, which looked fresh and foreign.
However, the smell of this cigarette was something that ordinary people could not tolerate. In the words of the people of the Four Nine Cities, it smelled like " smelly feet."
But even so, there were still people who slapped it. After all, it was a foreign cigarette. After all, it was cheap and could be supplied freely. There was absolutely no need to worry about a shortage.
"Comrade, I'm not used to this kind of imported cigarette.”Li Ang was not lying.
Although he was only a third-year high school graduate, he had smoked and drank alcohol in his three years in high school. He was just short of doing it with girls.
He had tried domestic cigarettes, imported wine, and even the legendary cigars and the Water of Life.
Unfortunately, he really couldn't accept smoking and drinking. He gave up after trying it out.
In addition, Li Ang was very good at hiding his true colors. Therefore, in front of his parents and teachers, he always had the image of an obedient, well-behaved, and studious child.
"How about this? I'll buy cigarettes later. I'll look at other things first.”Li Ang smiled apologetically.
He didn't want to buy cigarettes for himself. He just thought that when he reported to the factory later, it would save him some trouble with cigarettes to pave the way.
However, there was nothing he could do if he didn't have tickets or cigarettes. If he couldn't, he could just treat the people from the department to a restaurant. The effect would be even better, but it would cost more.
At this time, the benefits of having good looks were reflected. Of course, this was also due to Li Ang's well-ironed military uniform.
"Comrade, can you wait a moment?”The round-faced salesperson bit her lip lightly, as if she had made a decision.
"Sure." Li Ang was stunned.
However, he did not plan to leave so soon. There were many things sold in the grocery store. Even if he did not have enough tickets, he could still buy some things.
After the round-faced salesperson finished speaking, she went to whisper a few words to the oval-faced colleague who had just chatted. Then, she walked into the office.
Li Ang smiled politely at the oval-faced salesperson's gaze and continued to look at the non-staple food store.
Not long after, the round-faced salesperson walked out from the inner room with a newspaper packet that was obviously formed from cigarettes in her hand.
"Money." The round-faced salesperson reached out her hand.
"Oh." Li Ang quickly placed the big unity in the other party's hand.
After receiving the money, the round-faced salesperson identified whether it was real or fake, and then quickly gave her change.
"Here's your change and your cigarettes.”
Li Ang took the money and counted it. He was surprised to find that he had returned 6.5 yuan.
This also meant that this carton of cigarettes only charged the normal price of cigarettes and did not charge for tickets!
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Li Ang was somewhat puzzled.
"You're a soldier who just transferred to the military, right?”the round-faced salesperson suddenly asked.
"Yes, how did you know?" Li Ang was surprised.
"When I received the money just now, I saw the medal on your body.”The chubby salesperson pointed at Li Ang's chest." Someone in my family is also a soldier. I know that medal.”
Upon hearing this, Li Ang truly felt that this small grocery store was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. After all, ordinary people really did not recognize the medal on his body.
" Then these cigarettes…" Li Ang pointed at the cigarettes wrapped in newspapers on the counter.
"You're a soldier and have made contributions. I've asked the leader for instructions.”the round-faced salesperson said with a smile.
"Thank you so much." Li Ang finally understood and gave a standard military salute.
Originally, he was worried that he would have a bad influence on the other party if he took the cigarette.
After all, getting in through the back door was one thing, but getting in through the back door for a stranger or in front of others was another matter.
Now, it seemed that the other party was not stupid. This cigarette was obviously stained with the light of his military service and meritorious service.
Seeing Li Ang's military salute, the round-faced salesperson's face turned red and she did not know where to put her hands.
"Don't thank me. Hurry up and take the cigarette.”
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Li Ang did not stand on ceremony and took the cigarette in his hand.
Seeing that he had taken advantage of the other party, Li Ang felt embarrassed. He immediately took out some snacks and asked the other party to weigh some glutinous rice strips, small skewers, and sachima.
Before he left, he even left behind a bag of snacks, saying that it was a gift.
Then, he did not give her a chance to reject him and just slipped away.
After leaving the grocery store, Li Ang looked at the cigarettes and snacks in his hands and could not help but smile.
What happened just now was really strange. He wondered what others would say behind his back.
Fortunately, no matter how much they discussed it, Li Ang had not done anything out of line just now, so he quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Walking along the main road, the street was much more spacious than the alley, and there were more people coming and going.
There were people walking, riding bicycles, riding tricycling, and using trolleys. Occasionally, a bus would pass by, making Li Ang feel as if he was in a precious historical video.
"Wait a minute, I want to go to some old shop, but I don't know the way!”
"Tsk! If there was a map in reality…"
"F * ck! There really is!"
