They called Mu Ge over for the cigarettes in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's hands.
In response to Mu Ge, Yuan Shao lit up another cigarette from his pocket and started smoking. Everyone's hearts were itching. They didn't want to 'eat' it, but it was too novel and they all wanted to try it.
Mu Ge knew that it was time for him to promote again. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and stood up to give one to everyone. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also shamelessly asked for one. It was 50 copper coins for one cigarette. It was so expensive. If he could save one, he would give it to them.
Xun Yu also took one and carefully looked at it. Out of curiosity, he even sniffed it and found that it had a smell that he had never smelled before.
"Let me teach everyone how to smoke!" Yuan Shao couldn't help but stand up and stand up. Mu Ge let him be, saving him the trouble of wasting his saliva.
" Everyone, place the cigarette tail in your mouth. Take note, don't bite it. You can only swallow it lightly. Then, light it with a candle and take a puff. Yes, that's right." Yuan Shao enthusiastically explained the usage of cigarettes to everyone, and everyone followed suit.
"Cough cough."
"Cough cough."
Soon, the pavilion was filled with the sounds of coughing. Even Xun Yu was choking and coughing non-stop, his face turning red.
"Why is this thing so pungent?"
"How is this cigarette fragrant? It's clearly smelly!"
"That's right, this thing is too strange. I don't like it!”
This scene was exactly the same as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but now Yuan Shao and Boss Cao were very disdainful, as if they had really not seen the world.
"The taste of this cigarette is bitter at first and then sweet. Everyone, take a few more puffs. When you're used to it, you'll know how wonderful it is, just like me.”Mu Ge said as he lit a cigarette and blew out circles of smoke. There was also a small smoke ring inside, making people look magical.
"Ziyu, how did you do this? Teach me quickly, I want to show it to Little Flower of Happy Red Court!”Yuan Shao looked at Mu Ge with admiration. If he could learn this move, he would be so cool and awesome!
"Right, right, right. Why is your smoke so amazing? Why can't we do it?”Cao Cao tried to take a puff of his cigarette, but it was still a cloud of smoke.
The others were also shocked by Mu Ge's move. Some of them refused to believe it and started smoking on their own. Soon, the hall continued to be filled with smoke.
Mu Ge had given them almost five packs of cigarettes for free in the afternoon. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had also benefited greatly. They felt that they had earned a lot today. One cigarette was worth 50 copper coins, and they had earned more than ten taels from Mu Ge.
Not all men liked cigarettes. For example, Xun Yu and Kong Rong stopped smoking after smoking one or two cigarettes because they felt that the taste did not suit them.
However, it was different for other people. Men had no resistance to things like cigarettes. Once they smoked, they began to gradually fall in love with this treasure.
" It's indeed a cigarette. It smells so good!"
"That's right. Moreover, this thing has never appeared in the world before. We have taken the lead, haha."
"I wonder if brother Ziyu still has some. I want to buy some from you.”
Everyone spoke one after another. They had a good impression of this cigarette. They had never seen such a rare and attractive thing. Even the scholars could not bear to part with it.
Mu Ge pretended to be reluctant again and said,"The production of cigarettes is even complicated. I don't have many on me. If everyone wants to buy them, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"How much does Brother Ziyu have now?" Liu Zhen asked.
"There aren't 100 packets left," Mu Ge answered awkwardly.”
"I want them all. Brother Ziyu, name your price.”Liu Zhen said domineeringly. His father was the Imperial Minister of the current dynasty, and his mother was the granddaughter of the Governor of the capital, Wang Zhang. His family was extremely wealthy, but unfortunately, Dong Zhuo was the first to confiscate his family's property after entering the capital.
However, Liu Zhen's words immediately displeased the others, especially Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were the first to object.
"Liu Gonggan, you're too arrogant. Why are we smoking if you want all these cigarettes?”Yuan Shao glared at him and said unhappily.
"Brother Benchu is right. If you take all of them, wouldn't you be saying that we can't afford it?”Cao Cao held a cigarette in his mouth and tilted his head. He looked like a jerk, just like the boss of the underworld…
Seeing that he had angered everyone, Liu Zhen hurriedly bowed and apologized. Seeing this, Mu Ge quickly sat down and raised the price."I only have a hundred packets at the moment. If you want them, two taels of silver for one. I'll sell one packet to you for forty taels of silver.”
Whoosh!
Mu Ge's price caused an uproar among the crowd. It was so expensive!!!!
Yuan Shao and Boss Cao also stared at Mu Ge with their mouths agape. Profiteer!
"I want twenty packets!" Liu Zhen asked for 20 packets as soon as he opened his mouth. His family did not lack money.
Originally, everyone wanted to bargain, but after Liu Zhen said this, everyone was too embarrassed to bargain.
Scholars cared about their reputation the most. They did not want to lose face, so they could only grit their teeth and buy it, pinning this grudge on Liu Zhen.
"I want ten packs!"
"I'll take a pack first, I didn't bring enough silver today.”
"I want five packs."
"I want ten packs too."
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw that everyone was generously buying Mu Ge's cigarettes and immediately became anxious. Mu Ge had said that he had less than a hundred packs. If everyone shared one pack, they would not be able to smoke anymore!
"Ziyu, I also want 20 packets!" Yuan Shao pulled Mu Ge and said, as if he was afraid that Mu Ge wouldn't give it to him.
"I also want twenty!" Boss Cao quickly followed suit.
Although 20 packets were worth eight taels of gold, he couldn't care less about it now. If he had to pay a little blood, so be it. In order not to lose face in front of everyone, in order to continue acting tough in the future, he had to go all out! At most, he would go to Drunken Fragrance Restaurant and Happy Red Court a few times less!
Xun Yu had been a bystander. He stared at Mu Ge and realized that Mu Ge did not care about money.
According to what everyone said, Mu Ge could sell at least eighty packs of cigarettes, which was a few dozen taels of gold.
This was a huge expense for rich families like them. Mu Ge had earned it in the morning, but his expression remained unchanged.
" This person looks humble on the surface, but he is hiding his strength in his heart. I think he is up to something," Xun Yu thought to himself.
