"So mystical?" Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this.
"What is this item called?" Cao Cao was also fooled. They didn't see any cigarettes, but this exquisite box and the strange way of eating it made them feel curious.
Mu Ge smiled." This item is called a cigarette. It's the top secret treasure of our great ancestor, Shimayi. There's only one in this world!"”
"Cigarette? Did this thing really have such a magical effect?”Cao Cao asked.
"Of course, but you have to take it for a long time. Meng De, you see that I look so handsome and elegant because I smoke a lot. Oh, smoking means taking cigarettes.”Mu Ge's boasting was getting more and more ridiculous.
Cao Cao curled his lips when he heard that. Damn it, I know you're handsome, but you don't have to say it so shamelessly.
"Brother Meng De, Brother Benchu, let me tell you, do you know what I looked like in the past? Crooked mouth, slanted eyes, dark and ugly. When the women saw me, they were so scared that they covered their heads and fled like rats. Ever since I took this cigarette, everything has changed…" Mu Ge felt as if he had become the main character of those brainless commercials. He was so full of praise that his saliva flew everywhere. Yuan Cao and Yuan Yan believed him without a doubt.
"Can you let us try one?”Cao Cao couldn't help but want to experiment. Yuan Shao also agreed, he also wanted to try this new trick.
"This thing is very precious, and I don't have much left." Mu Ge pretended to be reluctant, then he said with a big face,"This is a treasure.""However, since Brother Meng De and Brother Benchu want it, I naturally have to give it to them.”
Mu Ge threw two cigarettes at them, and they caught them like they were treasures. Mu Ge began to teach them how to smoke.
" Cough, cough, cough." Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who had just taken their first breath, choked and coughed.
"This thing smells so bad, how can it be a cigarette? I think it's smelly smoke!"
"Meng De is right. These cigarettes taste bitter and dry. How can they be 'eaten' by humans?”
The two of them doubted Mu Ge's words. Could this guy be selling fake goods?
Mu Ge shook his head in disdain as if he had seen nothing."You don't know. This cigarette smells bad at first, but once you get used to it, you'll definitely love it.”
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other and listened to Mu Ge.
After drawing one, Mu Ge gave them a second one. After the second one, he gave them a third one.
Soon, in just one afternoon, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already gotten used to the smell of cigarettes. They began to like the faint smoke lingering on their fingertips.
In ancient times, people didn't have many entertainment activities, let alone the poor. The rich would only go to karaoke houses to listen to songs and call prostitutes. Yuan Shao and Boss Cao were the same.
Now that they had suddenly encountered such a novel toy that could act cool and cool. It was said that it could also strengthen the body and enhance kidney function. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao naturally liked it very much.
"This cigarette is indeed as brother Ziyu said, the fragrance is so fragrant that it can't be smelled!”Cao Cao said happily with a cigarette in his mouth. He was talented and intelligent, and he had even learned a new skill to talk while smoking.
" That's right. The more I smoke this, the more I like it. The more I smell it, the more fragrant it is." As Yuan Shao spoke, he saw that the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out. He quickly took a deep puff and exhaled a large cloud of smoke. His expression was no different from taking drugs.
Mu Ge smiled when he saw that the effect had been achieved. He had let them smoke so many for free, so he had to start collecting rewards.
Before Mu Ge could say anything, Yuan Shao came knocking on his door."Brother Ziyu, how many more of these cigarettes do you have? Can you give me some more? Oh, I can pay for it, Brother Ziyu, just name your price!”
Yuan Shao's family was rich, and Cao Cao's family was also rich. The two rich officials were naturally not afraid of spending money. In fact, the two of them were originally squanderers. Who knew how much money they had spent in this Drunken Fragrance Restaurant.
Mu Ge started to look troubled."It's not that I, Mu Ziyu, am stingy, but there really aren't many of them. Furthermore, it's extremely troublesome to refine them. Usually, I don't even have enough to use them."
Yuan Shao also believed Mu Ge's words, but he really wanted it. Not only did this cigarette smell fresh and fresh, but he also felt that it was very cool and refreshing to smoke!
"How about this, Brother Ziyu, let's pay a little more, ten copper coins for one stick, how about it?”Yuan Shao negotiated.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the currency was generally copper coins. The base price was one copper coin. One hundred copper coins was equivalent to one tael of silver (silver), and one hundred taels of silver was equivalent to one gold coin.
Usually, it could be converted into grains, or stones. A stone of rice was actually 100 catties of rice. According to the normal price of rice in ancient times (excluding famine, drought, and other periods), a stone was equivalent to 10 taels of silver.
(I need to explain to everyone here. Due to the complexity of the currency system and grain measurement system in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many complicated things such as five baht coins, copper coins, 150 baht coins, and big springs equivalent to 1,000 baht coins. I didn't mean to simplify them here and make some changes to save everyone the trouble of reading. Please don't scold me if you don't like it. It's just for the convenience of everyone reading.)）
Yuan Shao's 10 wen was actually not a small amount. It was equivalent to a pound of rice, but how could Mu Ge be satisfied?
The exchange rate for smithing gems in his system was: 1:100. The 100 here did not refer to 100 wen or 100 taels of silver, but 100 taels of gold! The exchange rate of the Assassins Organization!
One hundred taels of gold was equivalent to one million copper coins. According to Yuan Shao, Mu Ge would have to sell 100,000 cigarettes, which was equivalent to 5,000 packs of cigarettes, which was equivalent to 500 cigarettes. That was equivalent to 10 boxes of cigarettes (50 cigarettes per box).
