Chapter 397 [Uneven Distribution of Spoils]

With a turnover of more than $200,000 and more than 10,000 cigars every year, San Diego's eyes are about to bulge. When he signed the contract, his hands trembled so much, and Yang Nianzhong on the side was even worried that if the old man was too excited and finally burst his blood vessels, he would not be able to supply these green mood cigars he loved.

After paying a one-year deposit worth 200,000 pesos, the old man enthusiastically left Yang Jianzhong and John, plus the beautiful translator Vanessa, to have dinner at his home.

The old man took out all the treasured rum, and it was a 40-year-old bottle of rum, and I heard that the old man and his wife had a few bottles of rum left at the wedding banquet when they got married.

When several children were born, only six bottles were left after each bottle was opened, but I didn't expect to take out a bottle of 40-year-old rum today, which tasted quite good. Although the two sides did not understand each other's language, the old man of San Diego was very enthusiastic and began to tell Yang Nianzhong about his life experience of more than 60 years.

Unexpectedly, the old man was still a hot-blooded young man, who participated in the Bay of Pigs War because of his heroic killing of the enemy in the war, and was even received by Castro and received a medal.

Che Guevara's departure made the old man very uncomfortable, so he retired from the army and returned to his hometown, living in a small oasis in this small mountain village, the old man of Santiago had participated in the war of aggression against the United States, and had been received by the leaders of this area, which was quite prestigious, and this old man's shouting was more effective than what the local officials said.

Because he is particularly prestigious, so the old man always leads by example to help the villagers who are living in difficulty around him, and in the process of eating dinner and drinking, several groups of people came to visit the old man's house, and everyone also heard that the old man's house came to the distinguished guests and brought fresh fruits.

In the process of eating, Yang Nianzhong also tactfully put forward his opinion to the old man in San Diego, because the old man is a little older and is 65 years old this year, although his body is tough.

But planting green mood cigars and tobacco is too cumbersome, just a fertilization is not terrible, the old man is old and his physical strength can't keep up, in case something happens, his tobacco will be out of stock.

Without these cigar smoke that can be inhaled into the lungs, how can I live? In order to supply his own forage, Yang Nianzhong had to find a way to let the old man see if he could invite one of his sons back. Teach this child how to grow green mood cigars and tobacco planting, and ensure the supply of cigars for Yang Nianzhong and John for decades, so that it will be passed on from generation to generation.

With an annual trading volume of 200,000 US dollars, this is already a very large business in Cuba, not only bringing profits to his own family, but also bringing foreign exchange reserves to the government. When the old man heard Yang Nianzhong's suggestion, he was also very happy to pat his chest and assured Yang Nianzhong that he would definitely call his youngest son back to inherit this craft.

While he is still young, he can still take his youngest son to grow tobacco with green cigars, and he can let his son become an apprentice in more than ten years. When the time comes, his son can take over the baton from his own hands and continue to cooperate with the Yang family.

The old man opened it like this, which also made Yang Nianzhong very happy, this meal of wine was happy, and before he finished eating, the boss of San Diego had already cleaned up for Yang Nianzhong and John, and the room where he lived tonight, that is to say, Yang Nianzhong chose to live at San Diego's house tonight.

The living conditions are not bad, the bedding is very clean and in the natural environment of green trees, listening to all kinds of insects and birds outside, I feel that my impetuous mood has been relieved.

The only bad thing is that there is no electricity, and the beautiful translator Vanessa's house, because she lives in a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, is electrified, and there is no electricity in Santiago's house, which lives in the swamp across the mountain.

Lighting facilities are generally solved by solar energy and batteries, but they can only be maintained for a few hours, which makes Yang Nianzhong and John, who are used to living with all kinds of electrical appliances now, feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are mobile phones to illuminate, although the two brothers drank a lot, but they couldn't sleep at all, one is because the local area is too hot, and the other is because they are too excited today.

What are the two brothers talking about when they can't sleep? How to divide the spoils? Because San Diego can only guarantee a supply of 10,000 cigars per year, Yang Nianzhong smokes more than a dozen cigars a day. It's more than 500 cigars a month, and 6,000 cigars are smoked a year, such a huge number is just Yang Nianzhong's consumption alone.

As the saying goes, there is no separation between tobacco and alcohol, you make friends and party with friends outside, you have such a good cigar, of course, show off to your friends and show them to taste it. Or give these green mood cigars as gifts to friends, which are essential communication, so that 8,000 cigars are gone.

But John is also an old smoker, John's smoking volume is not bad compared with Yang Nianzhong, and the number share of 10,000 cigars Yang Nianzhong accounts for eighty.

There are 2,000 cigars left, which is not enough for John to consume for a year, what should he do? Therefore, the two brothers should coordinate their respective proportions, otherwise they will not have to fight because of these cigars.

Then everyone must ask, if it really doesn't work, let the old man of San Diego get all his sons and grandchildren back, and expand the number of green mood cigar tobacco plantings, isn't it over? Expanding the number of cigars produced by planting will increase the number of cigarettes, so that it will not be able to meet the normal consumption of Yang Nianzhong and John.

Yang Nianzhong made this request at the dinner table, but he didn't expect that the objection raised by the old man in Santiago was also very correct, you want to expand the planting area, but you can't find more Cuban crocodile feces as fertilizer to fertilize the cigar tobacco field.

Without so much crocodile fertilizer, how do you expand your cultivation? There are hundreds of crocodiles in this swamp, and it's good enough to sustain such cigar cultivation, so can't you buy crocodile feces from outside?

This is really not possible, firstly because the number of Cuban crocodiles is very small, and secondly, because Cuban crocodiles are also quite ferocious, who has nothing to do in the swamp to collect them, and the Cuban crocodile feces will die.

Yang Nianzhong put forward another plan, I heard that there are a total of six people who can make green mood cigars in the entire Cuban region, and the old man of Santiago is one of them, and the old man does not know other green mood makers.

Organize these people to increase production, but I didn't expect the old man to tell Yang Nianzhong with a smile and a smile that he knew him, but the youngest of these people was Santiago himself, and on average, two of them died in their 80s.

Learning to make green mood cigars from planting to harvesting to rolling finished cigarettes, without ten or eight years of experience, there is no way to ensure the quality of green mood cigars.

Under the circumstances of many restrictions, it is good to be able to guarantee 10,000 per year, but 10,000 is not enough for Yang Nianzhong and John, and the two brothers began to quarrel from lying in bed until half past 12. has not solved such a problem, and in the end it is really noisy, Yang Nianzhong proposed a truce, and the two brothers fell on the bed and began to sleep.
