814. Responsibility & Gift-giving
Zhou Fangyuan's mood is very complicated, although his current city has been greatly improved compared to the previous life, but at this moment, in this situation, his mood still involuntarily unloaded his face.
Sun Jing smiled as if she was fine, "Don't worry, I've been drinking medicine, the previous one was just an accident, and it's been okay for a long time." ”
She suddenly said such a sentence, which made Zhou Fangyuan stunned.
"You're not ......"
"Hmph, scare you, who made you usually so unconcerned about me? And go to see my dad, you can go if you want to see it, just go as the boss to see what's wrong? Every time you have to beat around the bush, making me a girl carrying so many things around, you can really be ruthless!"
Sun Jing pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Fangyuan was speechless for a while, and it took a long time to react and hold Sun Jing's hand.
"Don't do that next time...... In the future, I will pay more attention, if it really doesn't work, don't take medicine, it's not good for your health. If it's a big deal, I'll give birth directly, I'll raise you, and I'll go to your parents......"
Although Zhou Fangyuan felt that he was still young and had not fully prepared to be a father, he was a man after all, and he still had to have the responsibilities he should have. Not to mention anything else, his private life is chaotic or something, he also admits that he has made mistakes, but let him let go completely, he is still reluctant, so he can only make mistakes like this. But if it comes to children, then you can't be wrong anymore, because it's not one person, or two people, it's a matter of two families, it's a matter of a dozen adults, and it's definitely not a joke.
Drinking medicine is and to a certain extent to avoid risks, but for the woman, the physical harm is great. Zhou Fangyuan felt that he couldn't try to be happy for a while, so he let Sun Jing and the others bear the pain, he hadn't thought about this problem before, but he felt that he should seriously consider it now.
"I don't care, but what about the others?"
Sun Jing smiled and touched Zhou Fangyuan's cheek and asked softly.
“......”
Zhou Fangyuan was stunned, and suddenly opened his mouth as if someone had pressed the mute button, but he didn't know what to say.
Yes, modern women, how many people are willing to share their lovers with others? Now it is not ancient times, and even in ancient times, it is monogamy, but there are concubines in addition to wives, but concubines are honest, they can't be regarded as a complete person, many dynasties, wives can dispose of concubines at will, concubines are more like a kind of goods, and can even be bought and sold casually, you can imagine what its status is. So what Zhou Fangyuan is walking now is a wrong path, as long as he is asked, he is immediately speechless.
"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed, I know what to do, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. ”
Sun Jing is still so understanding, but the more she is like this, the more Zhou Fangyuan is unhappy in his heart.
"Well, why don't I go home with you, anyway, it's been a few years, and you should go back and have a look. ”
"I can go back by myself, you have a lot of things, the group is getting bigger and bigger now, you still have to focus on work, you don't have to worry about me, I can handle it." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, okay, no, listen to me, I can really handle it myself. ”
Sun Jing said this, and as she spoke, she pushed Zhou Fangyuan out.
Zhou Fangyuan couldn't resist her, so he could only be pushed out of the door. He didn't react until he came out, why did he come out by himself, even if she wanted to go home, she wouldn't leave now, even if she left now, she could send it herself, why was she pushed out. After thinking about it, it didn't make sense to go in again, so he shook his head and turned to leave.
However, Sun Jing's matter can be regarded as a wake-up call, no matter what her future will be, emotional matters, you still have to make some preparations in advance.
......
Back to Beitong.
Zhou Fangyuan returned to the manor as soon as possible.
Found Grandpa and Grandpa and served the cigars.
Grandpa has seen cigars, but he hasn't smoked them much, and grandpa hasn't seen them much at all, so at first glance, the high-end humidor, and the cigars that are at least as high as yours at first glance, can't help but show a surprised expression.
Zhou Fangyuan introduced them, and when they said that this cigar was produced by their own cigar garden, the two old men were even more surprised for a long time.
In the end, it was the grandfather who shook his head and sighed.
"Xiaoyuan is really out of business, it's only been a few years, and I've started to look at foreign investment. It's amazing, it's really amazing. ”
Grandpa has no culture and doesn't speak very well, so sometimes he simply doesn't express his opinion, just nods his head in agreement.
They asked about some things about the cigar estate, and Zhou Fangyuan gave answers, such as if you want to travel to Cuba, is it troublesome or something, what is the climate over there, is it safe, and does the food taste appropriate? Zhou Fangyuan will answer what he can answer, and if he can't answer, he will say that he doesn't know.
After talking for a while, he lit cigars for his grandfather and grandfather.
Smoking a cigar is a personal and spiritual experience for the mature cigar aspirer, so once upon a time gentlemen would have a dedicated space in their homes to enjoy "cigar time". Of course, this may just be the old style of the gentleman's era, and Castro on the battlefield and Hemingway on the big ship can enjoy the silence of smoking a cigar as well. For those who can handle a good cigar, they are the owners of the cigar and are not swayed by it.
Zhou's grandfather and grandfather weren't professional cigar drinkers, but they had plenty of time to enjoy cigars at any time they wanted.
Zhou Fangyuan picked up a cigar and, according to the method he learned, first cut off the cigar head with a professional cigar, and cut off a round hole with a diameter equivalent to 3/4 of the diameter of the cigar shaft. Then start to preheat the cigar: place the cigar on top of the fire and gently turn it to heat it, the distance between the cigar and the flame is generally about 2 cm, and turn it 2 to 3 times according to the thickness of the cigar. Then the cigar is lit, which is evenly lit from the edge to the center.
The cigar is lit and the aroma is already in the air.
"But don't rush into the first puff yet, you should gently blow back two puffs to get rid of the miscellaneous fumes that the cigar inhales when you light the cigarette, and then take the first puff. Be careful not to inhale the smoke into your lungs like you would smoking, but rather slowly inhale it into your mouth, allowing the aroma of the cigar to swirl in your mouth and then slowly exhale. This is also important for health, as the first puff of a cigar in the lungs contains five times more nicotine and tar than a typical cigarette. ”
Zhou Fangyuan explained.
Also, don't rush to take a second puff, because the charm of a cigar lies in its calmness. It's a rare experience to be able to savor a cigar one by one, to be immersed in the faint clouds of smoke, to reminisce about a past, to meditate or to close your eyes. Finally, don't flick the ash too often during smoking, as leaving an inch of ash to keep the cigar warm for the desired taste, and really good cigar ash can be kept around an inch to an inch and a half. So, it's best to let the soot break naturally and fall neatly into the ashtray. ”
Generally speaking, before choosing a cigar, you need to inspect the wrapper to see if it is untouched and has a healthy shine, whether it is too dry and brittle to cause the cigar to tend to be rough and pungent, whether it has a rich aroma, and if not, it may indicate that it has been stored properly, and a good cigar should not be too hard or too soft. If the veins of the wrapper are too vertical and horizontal, it means that there is a problem with the quality control of the cigarette factory, so don't buy it.
As with all luxuries, good things need good things to match. The equipment of the cigars is also luxurious. Cutting off the cigar head requires a specialized cigar cutter. Despite the fact that it is a small pair of scissors, the manufacturer has gone to great lengths to put a lot of thought into its design, materials and accessories to make it prettier, tasteful and, of course, more expensive. THE SOLEMEN CIGAR CUTTER IS MADE OF KARAT GOLD, WHILE THE DAVIDOFF CIGAR CUTTER DESIGNS ITS PRODUCT EXTERIOR AS A SWISS ARMY KNIFE, POCKET WATCH, CAR STEERING WHEEL AND OTHER MASCULINE ITEMS, AND IT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HOLD THE HEARTS OF CIGAR LOVERS.
Try to light a cigar with a long sulphur-free match, of course, a lighter is fine, but at least it should be a Dupont to be worthy of a Havana cigar. If you smoke cigarettes, prepare a leather bag and a pipe for the tobacco shreds.
In the same way, in addition to these cigar-related equipment, the cigar lover has invested a lot in it, and these investments are directed at becoming a person who can "weigh" the temperament of a stout cigar, both on a material and spiritual level.
This thing is undoubtedly very, very new to the two old men, who have hardly had a similar experience in the previous decades of their lives. Grandpa is because of his good work, someone has given cigars, but the old man can't smoke, that is, he smokes, and he can't experience any different feelings, and he feels that the taste is too strong.
Now according to the method taught by Zhou Fangyuan, try again, and sure enough, I have experienced a different feeling.
"It turns out that the cigar is smoked like this, don't say, these foreigners will really enjoy it, and the feeling of smoking is really different, but the lungs are a little unaccustomed. ”
Grandpa commented.
"It's boring. ”
Grandpa said something rarely.
It is true that cigars are not as strong as cigarettes that pass through the lungs, but the aroma of the cigar is not the fluttering sensation of nicotine. What's more, both of them are old smoking guns, and ordinary cigarettes are just to satisfy their body's habitual desires, and it is basically impossible to have that feeling of fluttering when smoking for the first time.
In short, grandpa and grandpa are quite receptive to cigars.
Zhou Fangyuan relieved himself at this time, and then gave the prepared cigars to the others.
For your father, it is naturally the best.
Secretary Feng also sent a box there, and there are other people who need to be paid attention to, he has cigars to offer, this thing is not worth much, but if you want to say that it is worth money, it is also valuable, just like buying vegetables on the street and growing vegetables at home, in fact, even if you grow vegetables yourself, don't you need pesticides and chemical fertilizers? In modern agriculture, the yield per mu has increased significantly, and what does it depend on, that is, chemical fertilizer. Without enough fertilizer to provide it, more than half of the country's farmland would lose production on land alone. The effect of pesticides is also huge, if there are no pesticides, all grains and vegetables, etc., at least will generally enter the stomach of the insects.
The so-called green agriculture does not mean that these things are completely avoided, but that the dosage is controlled within the scope of national standards, especially in the period before the harvest, the use of various drugs will be completely stopped, so that the crops have enough time to shed the pesticides sprayed before. Of course, in this way, it is inevitable that there will be various pests and diseases, so the output will still be reduced, and the price will naturally be high, after all, all kinds of pesticide residues are within the national standard.
As for the kind of agricultural products that do not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides at all? Yes, it will be more expensive, because in that case, the labor and energy will be greatly increased, and the corresponding cost will also rise, which is normal.
Far from it.
In short, it's similar to the one above.
Cigars can be bought by anyone, and there are also cigars on Gaodang Cigar Street, which are not as rare as high-end red wines, but they are bought by themselves, and they are grown and produced by others, so the meaning is different and the feeling is different. At the very least, there is a sense of importance in it, and it will naturally give people a sense of safety and security...... All in all, Zhou Fangyuan sent it all the way, and all the people who received the gifts were very happy, even Erma and Xiao Li, who specially sent people to deliver them, also opened the phone one after another, asking about his cigar garden in Cuba, and expressed interest.
Zhou Fangyuan didn't care about this matter, he told them Bei Bi's contact information, and also explained that if they each had ideas, they could ask Bei Bi, Zhou Fangyuan's manor was completely bought through someone else's introduction, he didn't know much about the survival status of the local cigar orchards in Cuba, and he was even more blind to the sales of the surrounding cigar orchards.
At this time, Babi is the most suitable person. The locals, who have been engaged in manor management all year round, are active and passive, and will know a lot about cigar estates. Of course, he thinks that other people are just saying that, Xiao Li is now bent on buying Margaux and raising money everywhere, how can he have the time to buy a cigar estate? Secondly, they are not the kind of people who particularly love cigars, and they do not have a strong desire to buy, so they probably say it in front of him, which seems to be quite enthusiastic.
Turn your head away...... I'm afraid I'll forget about it in the blink of an eye.
Anyway, Zhou Fangyuan thinks so.
So when he told a few people about Baby's phone, he turned around and called Babby and told him about it, and he also said that the possibility of these people buying the manor is not high, if they contact, let Babby introduce them normally, don't worry too much.
