The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1575: Cigar Patriarch

The latest website: What is "A cigar given to someone, with a lingering fragrance in your hand?"

Poor those Zhuang Han are all fishermen, farmers, imperial co-arms, and Ah San. How can they understand the benefits of this sentence, can't help but be dumbfounded.

But Mr. David was on the side. The naturalized foreigner was familiar with Chinese culture and shouted in a low voice: "Don't thank you!"

Chen Xia was surprised and delighted, so he knelt down and thanked him quickly and won the praise of the leader!

Yan Changwu smiled slightly and raised his hand to let Chen Xia get up.

Cigars are poisonous!

Whether it is smoking cigars, cigarettes, dry tobacco or water pipes, it is harmful to the body. The more you smoke, the more serious the injury.

Yan Changwu knew this well, but he knew better about the important influence of tobacco on the army and rum on the navy.

The officers and soldiers smoked cigars and drank rum?

No, what they smoke is loneliness, and what they drink is loneliness too!

In addition to the fierce fighting, the officers and soldiers, in the hostile eyes of the unfamiliar surroundings in life, drank a glass and drew a drink, so that the nervous emotions can be relieved and will not collapse!

As long as they have cigarettes or cigars, they can face the dead mountain and blood without changing their colors. It is stronger than anything else, and the allure of silver dollars is eclipsed in front of tobacco and alcohol.

In the Southeast Army, the navy is a drunkard, and the army is a smoker!

So the Southeast Army pioneered, cigarettes became the army's munitions, and it was standard equipment!

When the Chinese were plagued by clouds and fog, the armies of other countries couldn't even eat enough food or even meat.

Thick and long cigars have a strong taste and are more effective for soldiers. They enter the army quickly. Soldiers buy a large number of cheap cigars through the service agency, which is the military commissary. The sales of cigars in the military are increasing at a double-digit rate every year. .

However, cigars are expensive. Most of the people who can smoke cigars are officers and non-commissioned officers, as well as some rich second-generation soldiers.

In order to allow more people to taste the deliciousness of cigars and to calm down the emotions of his colleagues in the battle, Chen Xia initiated this victory cigar project, which has persisted for several years, and has been fully affirmed by the official. Now even the Supreme is coming to the door. Look at his pioneering work!

Yan Changwu heard his introduction and visited the manor and cigar factory accompanied by him.

They are walking in the tobacco fields. The tobacco in the fields is growing well. There is volcanic mud, the soil is fertile, plus sunlight and moisture, and it is the place where good tobacco leaves are produced.

Chen Xia introduced: "We have 6,500 acres of land here. Most of the land is used to grow tobacco. Sumatran tobacco leaves are darker in color and full-bodied. The tobacco leaves are used to roll cigars, which is the best choice!"

He also explained that the tobacco leaves are picked, dried, fermented, leveled, and stored, and then selected tobacco leaves to make cigars. Normal cigars can be made in nine months, and good cigars take three years.

They went to the cigar factory again, where they were responsible for rolling the tobacco leaves into thick and strong-flavored cigars.

There are 95 female workers in the cigar factory, all from the three continents. They all wear one-style uniforms. Their job is to mix and mix the wrapper and the eggplant cover and then press them into a wooden mold to make the appropriate size. The female workers sit At the workbench like a desk, they accurately calculated the share of the heart of the eggplant and worked intensively. When Yan Changwu and his party arrived, they were instructed in advance not to get up and drive, but to tap the table neatly with a cigar cutter to show welcome.

They showed the guests the process of rolling their cigars by hand. They devoted themselves to cutting tobacco leaves with their dexterous hands.

The quality of the tobacco produced is guaranteed. Chen Xia declared that he has established a good quality inspection system, from the selection of tobacco leaves to the final packaging, all are in place to ensure the supply of the highest quality cigars.

"After the rolling is completed, there are at least eight steps for quality inspection, including length, weight, firmness, smoothness of the wrapper, and whether the cigar port is even and level..."

"In addition, we also have professional smokers who judge the quality of cigars, such as the aroma of the cigar, the burning status, and whether the smoking is smooth.

Chen Xia said that after a good enough quality inspection, every cigar on the market is enough to satisfy every cigar customer.

"We can roll 3 million cigars a year here!" Chen Xia proudly said: "The market value is 300,000 silver dollars, mainly for the army, followed by the Middle East and Europe!"

"Awesome!" Yan Changwu was full of praise, and he and his entourage tried to smoke Chen Xia's top cigar, which cost ten silver dollars!

Everyone had a thick cigar inserted in their mouths. Chen Xia taught everyone the correct posture: After taking a sip, stir with the tip of the tongue, let the smoke flow through the mouth fully and then exhale slowly, and then take a breath. Continue to taste the sweetness of the smoke, and then take another sip. Do not smoke continuously, as it will numb your tongue and mouth.

I lit the cigar and took a sip. The taste is very mellow. I only taste the deliciousness of the cigar in my mouth. You don't need to swallow the cigarette into your stomach and can't pass the lungs. So everyone can try it, even if you are not a cigar customer.

After tasting it in his mouth, he spit out the smoke slowly, watching the spit out smoke rising slowly with the wind, forming a blemish shape.

What puzzled Chen Xia was Yan Changwu's skillful movements. Naturally, he was an experienced cigar smoker. The problem was that he didn't smell any smoke on his body?

Not really understand!

...

Returning to the main hall, Yan Changwu praised him: "Although he retired, he is a comrade-in-arms, and he is self-reliant. He has also made outstanding contributions and deserves praise!"

Mr. David helped: "Leader, why not write an inscription?"

So Chen Xia got two characters, one is "Victory!" and the other is "Scent of a cigar given to someone!"

Mr. David said: "Chen Xia, this is an imperial pen, so there is no need to worry about generations of your family!"

Chen Xia was overjoyed, knelt down and banged his head repeatedly!

At noon that day, Chen Xia was fortunate to invite Yan Changwu to have a meal. His cook was very good. He used free-range chicken to make chicken soup, and then used pond fish, pig and lamb as the main dish, as well as fresh vegetables. Produced, the whole meal came out, and Yan Changwu was very satisfied with it.

After a short break after the meal, Mr. David talked with Chen Xia for a while, and gave him two certificates, which confirmed the inscription of the imperial pen, and stamped the seal of Ouchi.

In this way, Chen Xia put the imperial pen on a plaque and hung it in the main hall. It was not easy to use, but the proof was very useful!

"Go and register a cigar of the'Victory' brand. This is a gift from the leader to expand production, ensure quality, comply with laws and regulations, and pay taxes in accordance with the law!" Mr. David warned Chen Xia, and he repeatedly agreed.

At 2 noon, Yan Changwu and his entourage left the manor and boarded the warship again. Chen Xia waved frequently on the dock, as if in a dream!

How dear and capable he was, he actually spent the whole morning with the supreme!

It's not just him, everyone on the manor is demented~lightnovelpub.net~ It takes a long time to react.

After that, Chen Xia went to work with the certificate of the imperial pen inscription. All the departments greeted him with a smile and gave the green light all the way: trademark registration, loans, land purchase, recruitment, sales...

'Shengli' brand cigar has become a best-selling brand in the southeast and even in the world. This brand is indeed a golden sign. Its net profit has reached one million silver dollars a year. Chen Xia has always used 10% of its net profit to support'Shengli. The Cigar Project' allows officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army to smoke free cigars.

Not only him, but everyone in the world is very curious why Yan Changwu pays attention to a small cigar?

A few years later, Mr. David’s memoir revealed the secret. It turns out that the origin of cigars in the two Chinas came from Yan Changwu. He promoted the sales of cigars. Before him, how could the Chinese taste any cigars!

Chen Xia also taught Yan Changwu to smoke cigars. He didn't realize that Yan Changwu was a hidden cigar ancestor. After Mr. David first met Yan Changwu, he knew that Yan Changwu was very familiar with cigars, and he needed Chen Xia to teach!

But even Mr. David doesn’t know why Yan Changwu is so familiar with cigars...
