Qin Mu remembered a short story in which a man had to invite his boss to a banquet in order to be promoted, and asked his wife to hold a high-grade banquet. The wife racked her brains to piece together, from candles to tablecloths, from knives and forks to flowers, all of them worked hard, and the boss was very satisfied when she arrived, and said let's start the meal, but the wife screamed, "I forgot to prepare the food." ”

He has always read this novel as a joke, but he didn't expect that art really comes from life. I made the same stupid mistake myself.

He thought of everything, but he didn't expect that Da Song had tobacco leaves!

Qin Mu now recalls that tobacco was only transmitted to China from South America during the Ming Dynasty, and there is also news that it may have come from the Philippines. The Great Song Dynasty did not hear of tobacco.

If you want to get tobacco, you have to go overseas. Not to mention that South America has to cross the ocean, even if you want to go to the Philippines, it is not close!

From Henan to the Philippines, with the current traffic environment, can you go back and forth in two or three years?

Qin Mu only has fourteen years, how can he waste two or three years on the way to the Philippines.

There would be no tobacco industry without tobacco leaves.

It's like having only utensils and no food, what kind of meal is this!

Pulp mills, paper mills, cigarette mills, and cigarette factories are all there, but there are no tobacco leaves!

Qin Mu sweated anxiously.

He screamed so loudly just now that he called in all the women at once.

Jia Hongxian hugged Qin Mu tightly and asked anxiously, "Cousin, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slave." ”

Fang Haoyin was also nervous.

My cousin looked fine, but I had never heard him scream like that. Qin Mu is the backbone and the hope of all of them. But don't let anything happen.

Fang Haoyin also held Qin Mu's hand and didn't let go.

Jiang Yuenu was even more worried and cried directly.

What's wrong with Qin Lang, has he encountered a dilemma? I hate that I can't help Qin Lang at all.

She would only shed tears.

Qin Mu calmed down. It's useless to be anxious, and let others worry about it.

The source of the tobacco must be solved, and it is a pity that the cabinet cannot bring something alive, otherwise where is this problem!

What to do?

Qin Mu saw the worried looks of these people in front of him, and he couldn't let them not understand, the more they didn't understand, the more worried they became.

Qin Mu briefly talked about the matter.

"Oh, such a trivial matter, cousin, you are really scared to death of the slave family."

Jia Hongxian patted his chest, finally down-to-earth. I thought the sky was falling.

"A trifle?" Qin Mu didn't understand. Can no tobacco be a trifle?

Jia Hongxian glanced at Fang Haoyin and Jiang Yuenu, and then said proudly: "How can there be no tobacco?" My brother complimented my cousin to me two days ago. He had seen tobacco when he was in the Western Army, and at that time it was for refreshment, and some people chewed it. The taste was weird, and he didn't like it. I didn't expect my cousin to be so smart, roll the tobacco in the paper, and suddenly become so enjoyable. ”

There is tobacco, and it is still in the Western Army, not far away! Qin Mu studied the territory at this time, the border of the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, not far from Bianliang.

Bianliang is in Henan, and the northwest frontier of the Northern Song Dynasty is Shanxi in Shaanxi, which is a little farther away from Gansu.

Qin Mu suddenly perked up. If that's the case, then all is fine!

He couldn't help but give Jia Hongxian a tight hug. This is saving your husband's life!

Fang Haoyin and Jiang Yuenu looked at each other and pouted. The eldest sister is really not ashamed, she ...... in front of us

Jia Hongxian looked over Qin Mu's shoulders and glanced at the two of them proudly.

See, it's me who solves the problem, this is what the main palace does.

The main palace lady naturally has to take it with her.

Qin Mu said that he would leave, this matter really couldn't be delayed. Soon the Great Song Dynasty is about to enter November, and in autumn, the further northwest you go, the colder it gets.

Now there is no heating, no air conditioning, and it freezes everywhere.

Liu Yunfei had seen tobacco in the northwest, so he naturally had to take him with him.

Fang Haoyin and Jiang Yuenu also wanted to follow, but Qin Mu didn't agree. It's not a trip, it's a crime, what are you going to do?

The army and the factory have already taken shape, and they can't do without people for a day. To put it mildly, after promising to give them something better, he finally comforted the two women who stayed behind.

It is not as comfortable to go to the northwest as to the southeast.

The first one gets colder and colder, and the second one is difficult.

The waterways in the northwest are far less developed than those in the southeast, and there are many land routes to take this way.

During the long journey in the Great Song Dynasty, it was too hard to go by land.

Riding a horse, Qin Mu couldn't stand it at all. Not to mention the bumps, even if the horse's back grinds his thighs, he can't stand it. This has nothing to do with the spiritual will, it is an objective reality.

Not only can't he stand it, but Jia Hongxian can't stand it either. She grew up in Bianliang and never rode a horse.

Liu Yunfei fully took into account these circumstances, and tried his best to take the waterway, even if it was a long detour, he also took a boat.

Taiyuan Mansion is an important supply point in this journey, from Wujiazhuang to Bianliang, and then all the way to Taiyuan, it took 20 days.

Tired from the journey, Qin Mu decided to rest here for two days.

Jia Hongxian was also very tired, and finally was able to sleep beautifully.

Along the way, she worked with her cousin's ears and temples, flew and stayed together, although she didn't have a round house, but she was also very satisfied.

Without Fang Haoyin and Jiang Yuenu dangling in front of him, Jia Hongxian couldn't be more comfortable in his heart.

As soon as I slept until almost noon, I felt my energy return. After she got up and washed, she deliberately changed into a new dress.

This set is not Da Song's skirt, from head to toe and from the inside to the outside, it was all brought to her by her cousin from later generations.

Qin Mu considered that it was getting colder and colder as he walked, so he definitely had to bring warm clothes, and then thought about the actual situation of Da Song, so he purchased some women's clothes that were a little retro-style.

But no matter how retro it is in later generations, it is just a gimmick, how can it really be exactly the same as the Da Song style.

This bright red and slim cotton suit, with semi-high-waisted white boots, and a white cashmere scarf, is like a cover girl.

Fortunately, this place is far away from Bianliang, even if it is a little different, just let it go. The emperor is far away, so whatever.

Jia Hongxian was reluctant to wear it all the way, and when he arrived in Taiyuan City, he finally had a chance to wear it.

Taiyuan Mansion is an important town of the Great Song Dynasty, with a large population and many restaurants.

Liu Yunfei still has some impressions of Taiyuan Mansion, and he took the two to a restaurant, Gaoyang Zhengdian.

The restaurant of the Great Song Dynasty is different from the ordinary restaurant with the word "main store".

Zhengdian is a restaurant recognized by the imperial court and sells official brewed water, which is a symbol of status.

Gaoyang Zhengdian has three floors, and Jia Hongxian naturally chose the third floor. The higher the more expensive it is, the more status it has.

Jia Hongxian poured Qin Mu full of wine, and also poured half a glass for himself, then picked up the wine glass and said to Qin Mu: "Cousin, I respect you." Tobacco will definitely be found this time. ”

"Good. Lend you auspicious words. Qin Mu picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Tobacco, but don't play with me. Hopefully, as the red line says, you will be able to find it.

"What, are you looking for tobacco?" A girl stood up at the next table and walked over generously: "But I don't know what to do with those?" ”

Qin Mu was a little pleased. How did you get to Taiyuan and there was news of tobacco?

He hurriedly got up and said, "What is this girl's name?" We're looking for tobacco. ”

"Zhe Meifeng."

The person who folded the family. Qin Mu learned more and more about the history of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was not surprised to hear this strange surname.

The surname is "fold", a big family.

"What do you call this sister?"

Zhi Meifeng is the daughter of the Fuzhou Zhi family, and the Zhi family has been guarding the frontier since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Simply put, warlords.

In Fuzhou, the Zhejia is the emperor of the soil, and Zhao Ji's words are not as useful as the Zhejia's.

A few months ago, Tong Guan attacked Fangla, transferred troops everywhere, and the Zhe family also sent out an army. Leading the team was her brother.

She took this opportunity to follow her brother to Bianliang.

A family like the Zhejia family naturally has its own mansion in Bianliang. Zhe Meifeng stayed at home in the capital and played in Bianliang.

Tong Guan's crusade against Fang La was a great success, and the class teacher returned to the dynasty. After the celebration, the Zhe family will go home, and Zhi Meifeng will follow her brother home.

I happened to meet Qin Mu and his party in Gaoyang Zhengdian.

She has long taken a fancy to Jia Hongxian, but she has never had a chance to talk.

Jia Hongxian's clothes are very delicate in later generations, let alone in the Great Song Dynasty.

It is already late autumn, the weather is cold, and Taiyuan is several degrees lower than Bianliang - the concept of later generations, Zhe Meifeng also changed into winter clothes.

But in the winter clothes of this time and space, rich people just wear fur - just like the rich people in the 21st century, the rich can only wrap a few more clothes and stuff some reeds.

The current Great Song Dynasty does not have cotton from later generations, at least it has not been popularized, and even the upper class does not know about it.

Even fur looks a little bloated, making it even more difficult to make such a bright color.

Zhe Meifeng is also wearing winter clothes and fur, but compared with Jia Hongxian, it is like a pheasant and a phoenix, and it is not compared to anything.

Jia Hongxian's cotton clothes are gorgeous and slim, and Zhe Meifeng can't tell what kind of fabric it is.

From head to toe, almost everything is something that Zhi Meifeng has never seen, as a woman, or a woman from an extremely rich family, she must figure it out, otherwise she will not be able to get down to the restaurant.

I just took this opportunity to catch up with the conversation.

"Nujiajia Red Line."

"Sister Hongxian," Zhi Meifeng is only eighteen years old, obviously younger than Jia Hongxian: "But I don't know where you bought this dress?" ”

Qin Mu was immediately depressed.

I thought it was tobacco delivered to the door, but who knew that people were just here to see the model's clothing, and he was just a reason.

"Sister, sit down and talk." Jia Hongxian knew Qin Mu's thoughts, and if there was news sent to the door, he had to grasp it.

Zhe Meifeng was so anxious that she sat down immediately.

She didn't come to the restaurant alone, there were her brother and an important general at that table.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, and said hello.

Fold Kecun also nodded. My sister chatted with other women, and they naturally had a hard time, although they were also amazed by Jia Hongxian - how could there be such a beauty in Fuzhou.

"You ask about this," Jia Hongxian reached over and asked Zhe Meifeng to touch her sleeve: "It was bought by the slave's official for the slave, where did he buy it, my sister is going to ask him." ”

Jia Hongxian handed over the handle to Qin Mu without a trace.

"What is this brother called?" Only then did Zhi Meifeng take a serious look at Qin Mu. She only had clothes in her eyes just now, and no one else at all.

"Qin Mu. Folded lady, listen to what you just said, do you know tobacco? ”

"Of course, this thing is not available in Bianliang City, but in our prefecture, it is not a rare thing." Zhi Meifeng didn't have to think about it, she thought that Qin Mu and his party were from Bianliang, and she didn't even pay attention to Qin Mu's accent.

is not a noble person in Bianliang, where is there such a beautiful body.

But I've been playing in Bianliang for a long time, why haven't I seen others pass it? In the blink of an eye, she figured it out on her own. This is a winter coat, and it was still summer when it was in Bianliang, so naturally no one wore it.

"Is the lady familiar with tobacco? Isn't that so? Qin Mu said and took out a box of cigarettes, took out one, crushed it casually, and spread the tobacco on the table.

"Hey, you even have cigarettes!" Zhi Kecun had been paying attention to them, and when he saw Qin Mu actually take out a cigarette, he was immediately surprised. And then Qin Mu crushed the cigarette without care, which made him not only surprised but also heartbroken.

As the general of the expedition to Fangla, he was summoned by the emperor after returning to Beijing. Zhao Ji can be a man and loves to show off, and when he gets a good thing like cigarettes, he naturally wants to take it out and have fun.

A box was also given.

Not to mention, no matter what time and space, there are many men who love to smoke, otherwise how can tobacco be so profitable.

I fell in love with this feeling after a moment of saving. It's a pity that just one box of cigarettes, twenty cigarettes, is too little. He secretly smoked it for a few days, but he didn't give it to the generals, and he finished it.

Tobacco is also available in Fuzhou, but it is not used in this way at all.

The soldiers of Fuzhou sometimes chew tobacco to relieve fatigue, but the taste is sworn never to be touched again after trying it.

It took him a lot of water to get rid of the smell. Or the emperor is wise and knows the correct use of tobacco.

Zhe Kecun was going to go back, and he also learned to smoke tobacco with paper rolls, but he didn't expect to see cigarettes unexpectedly in Taiyuan.

Isn't this thing only available to the emperor, how can this kid have it. And I don't cherish good things too much. Don't smoke it, just crush it.

Zhe Kecun couldn't wait to snatch the box of cigarettes in Qin Mu's hand immediately.

He immediately got up and sat down at Qin Mu's table.

"You can save it," he didn't wait for a greeting, and immediately introduced himself: "Meifeng's second brother, Young Master Qin, I don't know if you can sell me this Marlboro cigarette?" ”

It turned out that I met a smoker.

Qin Mu pushed the cigarette forward, meaning, please.

Talking about money hurts feelings.

Zhe Kecun was not polite, he quickly picked it up, took out one and put it in his mouth, turned it over, embarrassed, he had no fire.

Jia Hongxian took out a ZIPPO lighter and handed it to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu casually flicked open the lid and lit the fire.

The brothers and sisters were dumbfounded.

They knew about matches in Bianliang, but they had never seen a lighter.

This thing works better than matches.

Qin Mu and Jia Hongxian, what kind of characters are these two? Is it the young master's daughter-in-law of a wealthy family in Bianliang City?

Haven't you heard of it, in the Great Song Dynasty, is there a family surnamed Qin?

Zhe Kecun lit a cigarette and took a puff beautifully.

Yes, the original, is the feeling given by the emperor.

Qin Mu didn't mind revealing something. This is not Bianliang, you don't need to be particularly careful, and the more you go to the frontier, the more you have to show your strength, otherwise no one is afraid that your things will be difficult.

"Young Master Qin, how many more cigarettes do you have?" Zhen Kecun's eyes lit up, staring at Qin Mu.

He knew that even if he returned to Fuzhou and rolled tobacco leaves with paper, it would not be possible to have the current taste. If you can buy an authentic Marlboro, he will pay for any amount of money.

Fuzhou folds the family, and there is no shortage of money.

Qin Mu only had such a box on him, and he looked at Liu Yunfei.

Liu Yunfei took out a box on his body and put it on the table.

Qin Mu casually pushed it to the fold and saved it.

"That's all for the time being, but if General Zhe needs it, I still have some at home."

It is always good to fold the military uniform that can be stored and worn, and it is always good to be called a general.

"That's great, how much you have, how much I want, money is not a problem."

"But I still have a problem." Only then did Qin Mu put forward his request: "Since the general knows that this is made of tobacco, he must know that there is no tobacco near Bianliang, and I went to Fuzhou to look for tobacco." ”

"What, this cigarette is made by your family?"

"But it was done by slave officials. There is no second place in the world that will make cigarettes. Jia Hongxian praised his family without a trace.

"And this tobacco?" I immediately noticed a little problem. There is no tobacco in Bianliang, so where did you get this cigarette from in it?

"These tobaccos were sold to me by a businessman from the northwest who passed by Bianliang, and I came up with such an idea and made cigarettes. Now that the tobacco is running out, and the merchant doesn't know where to go, I can only try my luck in Fuzhou. ”

Zhe Kecun was so focused on cigarettes just now that he didn't pay attention to Qin Mu, and when he heard him say this, he realized that the cigarettes were actually made by him.

What a genius!

I have been in Fuzhou for so many years, and Fuzhou has had tobacco for so many years, why can Fuzhou people only chew tobacco and not make cigarettes?

Compared with Young Master Qin, our Fuzhou people are all livestock, and cows chew peonies, which is really a waste of such a good thing.

"That thing that ignited the fire, was also made by you, Young Master Qin?"

Qin Mu nodded. Anyway, no one can get a ZIPPO lighter except for themselves.

He wants to be famous in the Great Song Dynasty, he wants to have no status, and when dealing with this kind of warlord, if you can't control the other party, why can people look up to you.

"Brother Qin," Zhi Meifeng had been waiting impatiently for a long time, what is tobacco, this dress, this boots, this scarf, and the makeup on my sister's face, which is not more important than tobacco: "Sister, where did you buy this dress?" ”

"That's what I did, too." Qin Mu was not ashamed and took all the credit to himself.

The brothers and sisters of the folded family are almost jumping up.

Are you a monster? You can make cigarettes and make fire-lighting things, that's a man's hobby, but you can also make women's clothes and shoes, and you're still not human.

Qin Mu didn't speak, just smiled and looked at the brothers and sisters of the Folded family.

My sincerity is all out of the picture, and it's up to you next.
