454 The blessings of the three lives and the third generation
At present, the focus of everyone's debate is not the question of whether there is the ability to grow tobacco and produce cigarettes, especially for cigarette production, the production conditions of the traverser are available, and at most, the chemical industry department needs to make some flavors and other aromatics in the future.
Whether to produce or not, it is mainly due to ethical considerations.
However, there was also a loud voice in the crowd in favor of the production of cigarettes.
The supporters of the tobacco project said excitedly that the world's tobacco industry is still in the primitive stage of tobacco leaf rolling, and if we make cigarettes with shredded paper rolls and flavors, we can imagine how terrible its market competitiveness is!
As for the development of the market, it is even more problematic, now the world is popularizing tobacco, according to historical records, just a few years ago, Guangdong and Fujian have a large area of tobacco planting.
So, it's really not a question of competence, but a moral one, someone concluded.
At this moment, the debate continues on the docks.
The arguments of the naysayers are above board: 200 years later, when people finally realize the dangers of tobacco, it has become a serious public health problem in the world, and you know that this thing will harm your children and grandchildren – including your own! Why are you still doing this poisonous weed!
However, there are good reasons for agreeing with tobacco: after all, the spread of tobacco around the world is the trend of the times, and none of us can stop it, not to mention that we can also engage in filters and other things!
The opponents immediately ridiculed each other, the filter is just a psychological comfort, you can use it to deceive outsiders, how can we even deceive ourselves?
"Otherwise, I mean ...... We can do some tobacco control measures and so on, at least don't let our kids get this stuff on it! ”
"Pull it down, do you believe it yourself?"
"Yes, let alone cigarettes, I feel that it is inevitable for our children and grandchildren to smoke opium......"
"If you say that, you might as well smoke!"
"That's right, so what about cigarettes, you don't smoke, how do you know what it's like for us smokers to smoke when they get addicted to cigarettes and don't smoke!?"
"Tell you, I've long since run out of shares in the supermarket, and I want to smoke now! I saw that the sawdust of wood was rolled, and the roll bar lit the urge to smoke, you know!? Woowoo woo ......"
"! Don't be like this, brother, hey! Don't worry, don't worry! I still have my share, hurry up and go to Xia Xiaoou to get a box of cigarettes, how about taking your two-carat diamond and exchanging it with me? I've saved a whole one! Ay! Ay! Don't worry, what are you hitting me for? Buying and selling! Willing to buy and willing to sell, as for this......"
Apparently there are good buddies in the crowd who are starting to take advantage of the fire......
"Of course you don't know if you don't smoke! These days, I've been suffocated, no online games, no women, and no cigarettes! It's really sad to be paralyzed! ”
It was obviously the people from the Vegetable Garden Club who said this, and they really couldn't stand it after leaving Lao Wang's vegetable garden in the past two months......
"Understanding is understanding, but I'm still against ......"
"Don't say anything against or not! I can't listen! Labor and management have figured it out now, let's talk! You want to exchange everything with you! Anyway, hurry up and help me get a box of cigarettes......"
"Hey, just kidding, it's all buddies, how could I take advantage of the fire to rob it, so let's change the number of the lot in your hand? Ay! Don't hit people, brother......"
"Hey! Have you made enough of it? ”
"Wei @ Hong! Can you be a little sympathetic? If you see that people are addicted to smoking, you can sit on the ground and start the price......"
"Well, this is something that brothers can do? It's just a cigarette! ”
"I said Li Dewei, can you be a little more interesting?"
"Yes, Ah Wei, let's make up your mind to quit smoking!"
"It's easy to say that eat a lamp grass! Is quitting smoking something human? I don't have a backache when I stand and talk......"
"Okay, okay, I was joking just now, but what about viagra, let's talk about it in front, the cigarette has been on for a long time, it's a little moldy, it's a big back door, anyway, I don't smoke, if you dare to smoke, I'll give it to you......"
"Really?"
"It's true, it's just that I feel guilty about the cigarette after all......
"It's okay, show me the situation first!"
"Okay, let's go, get on the train and go back to the Red Mansion ......"
Thus, the debate on the dock about tobacco ended in this way.
Of course, not everyone on the dock was gathering to discuss chocolate or tobacco, and many were still busy on deck, as there were still two groups on deck waiting to be settled.
Half an hour later, forty-five "family members" were taken to the pier.
Now these women are completely free of the cowardice and panic they had when they first got on the boat.
Despite the language barrier and the different cultural customs, the women have gradually adapted to the life on the ship after more than 20 days of getting along with the people around them, and the most obvious change is that they have gradually become more lively and cheerful compared with when they first got on the boat.
The slave girls now had a vague idea of where they would belong, but no one would resist the fact that they were going to be taken in as concubines by one of the men on the ship.
They used to be a group of low-status slaves, and it was their fate to become an appendage of a certain man, for them, the only thing they need to worry about is that the man should not treat her too badly, don't abandon her from the beginning, don't abandon her when she gets tired of playing, don't give her food, don't beat her at every turn, or sell her to more unbearable men or even brothels, because their identity has already determined the fate they will face, and her master can completely dispose of her in this way.
Therefore, as long as the above things don't happen to you, then it can be a blessing that you have cultivated in three lifetimes.....
During this time, the reason why these women have become more lively is because of the change in the surrounding environment, which gives them something called happiness.
The change in the environment comes first and foremost from the daily attitude of Australians towards them.
Since boarding this giant ship that will shock the senses and the heart, they have discovered that they have not become the food of the "dragons", as the legend has said.
Not only that, but they also found that they were eating exactly the same food as those Australians, and the food was so delicious that it made them doubt their lives.
But the sensitive women know that the key is not these, the key is their different way of getting along with those Australians, the kind of peaceful communication between the two sides, theoretically speaking, these Australians are their own buyers, are the masters, but they seem to be different from the masters they have seen in the past, except for sometimes looking at themselves with curious eyes, they never pretend to be majestic in front of themselves, let alone in front of themselves.
And he has never been beaten, scolded and abused, no one has ......
The most profound feeling of the female slaves is that they do not encounter the harsh rules and status discrimination that they expected, especially when it comes to work.
In the daily work of cooking, cleaning, washing and other work on the ship, as well as in their spare time, they are not reminded of their humble status anytime and anywhere as in the past, and occasionally make mistakes, nor are they beaten and abused.
They even feel a certain equality and respect in the words and actions of Australians.
Of course, in their concepts, there are never words such as "equality and respect", but they do really feel that Australians treat themselves as family or friends, so they inspire a certain self-awakening, which is a very wonderful life experience for this group of female slaves.
On the ship, all kinds of new things were displayed in front of them, and on the way to the voyage, they also saw scenes that they had never seen in their lives.
Unconsciously, they even developed a sense of superiority over the natives of the islands they passed by, and in the past, the only thing they felt when they met them was fear.
Unbeknownst to them, however, this was just the beginning, and as they were led down the ramp and onto the dock, they found a group of brightly lit women in front of them.
