In the boy's wooden box, there are strips like cigarettes. Although it looks like rolling up some leaves directly and fixing them, the workmanship is very exquisite, and some gilding lines can be seen on it.
"Sir! Would you like some Havana? A very cheap one costs only 2 riens, and a pack of ten costs only 15 riens." The boy looked warm with a smile.
Claude couldn't help staring at the boy and what he recommended to himself.
"Havana ~ what is this?"
Seeing the man in front of him, he seemed interested, and the boy's enthusiasm for selling Rose: "it's the latest tobacco. It's very good, and it won't feel headache and chest tightness after smoking. Would you like to buy one and try it? It only costs 2 leans, which is very cheap."
It's really cheap!
Croside has probably figured out what the boy wants to sell himself. A plant cigarette with the nature of anesthetics will make people feel more relaxed and refreshed than ever before. Of course, it may also be addictive. After smoking, they need to smoke constantly, otherwise the body will feel extremely uncomfortable.
For this kind of thing, kloside, as a giant dragon, usually laughs. As a giant dragon, he won't feel anything when he takes this kind of thing. He has never felt the so-called unprecedented sense of relaxation and pleasure. The giant dragon's strong physique seems to be immune to the properties of this anesthetic. Today, however, croside is a little interested, mainly because the price given by the boy is really unprecedented cheap, which is a little sorry for the effect he introduced to himself.
There are also many plants and spices that can produce illusory effects and stimulate mental relaxation on the mainland. For example, a black Datura flower combined with the powder of blue crystal rose can become a very good drug. In addition to giving people enough high feeling, it can also keep the mage in a high state of concentration, so as to improve the efficiency of meditation. At the same time, the addiction is very low, Chengdu is so low that it is almost negligible that not only aristocrats but also many mages pursue this plant.
But the price of blue crystal rose as an auxiliary material is not cheap and expensive! Very expensive! Die expensive!
Even if the king sells his crown, he can't take it every day. If the weight of blue crystal rose is cancelled or reduced, this mixed drug will simply become a hi drug. In addition to losing the efficacy of concentration, addiction and toxicity will double. Some cheap magic drugs are not without, such as kudingcao, blood thorn, blue magic powder, etc., but they have greater side effects and addiction, but even so, they can never be so cheap that they can be sold at such a cheap price of 2 lien in the hands of a child.
Not to mention that many of these plants are used to prepare magic potions. It's a natural disaster to use these herbs as medicine.
"It's so cheap. Are you sure it works?" Asked croside, puzzled, holding a so-called Havana tobacco.
"You are the fourth person to ask me that, sir! As a noble and gentleman, you have the right to try one." The boy smiled and waved to one side. Soon, a child of his age with an oil lamp also ran over.
Croside was a little curious about this kind of marketing method. The boy didn't deliberately give himself "test articles", but let himself take one out of the box. Obviously, hundreds of cigarettes in his box should be genuine.
"Interesting ~ I won't try, give me a bag!" Said croside, playing with the tobacco in his hand.
The boy nodded happily and immediately took out the packaged tobacco from the lower layer of the cabinet and handed it to him. From the volume, it should be exactly ten Havana tobacco. Just when giving the money, croside found that he had no change. After thinking about it, he simply threw a silver coin he had with him to the boy. Obviously, the boy was also a person who knew the goods, The silver coin is worth at least several hundred leans. After getting the silver coin and biting it to confirm that it is the real goods, the boy hurriedly took a business card and handed it to Klose, telling him that if necessary, he can buy it at the place marked on the business card, and there are better goods there.
It's quite formal!
After the two children left, Claude tore a little of the attached tobacco thoughtfully, put it into his mouth and chewed it. Although magic plants and even some real highly toxic plants could not affect the black dragon, he could still feel the various properties of this plant.
Well, it does have the unique drug properties of magic plants, which is a little toxic, but the damage to the body is so low that it can be ignored, but it's not clear
Croside chewed the tobacco slowly and could not feel clearly. It seemed that it was a kind of magic plant, which was different from the magic plants and drugs he had tasted before. The size and duration of the drug, the burden of toxicity and addiction on the body, and most importantly, the cheap price. There seemed to be no matching plant in his mind.
After returning to the chamber of Commerce, croside called the attendants and handed over the remaining tobacco to the other party. He asked them to identify with the personnel who are proficient in medicinal materials in the chamber of Commerce tomorrow to see which plant is used as the raw material for this kind of tobacco.
Suddenly, however, croside remembered something. Although the children selling these tobacco were clean and tidy, their body shape and scarred hands showed that they should all come from the lower area. These children in the lower area could not suddenly go to the upper area to sell these things. In order to prevent refugees in the lower area or trouble from mixing into the upper area, All the checkpoints in and out of the upper and lower levels will levy access fees for the poor who do not hold the residence certificate of the upper level. For the poor who are almost destitute in the lower level, this fee is not an easy amount.
Sometimes a lower level resident who has lived in a free city for a lifetime may not have the opportunity to step into the upper level once. How do those children who obviously come from the lower level come from?
"By the way, let someone go to the lower area to see if this kind of tobacco is on sale." After thinking about it, croside ordered.
"I see, sir."
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Whether this kind of tobacco is on sale in the lower area, the answer to croside's guess is obviously yes!
The tobacco originally named Havana has slowly spread from the black street to all corners of the lower area. It has enough drug properties to make people feel extremely high. Although it is addictive, the damage to the body can be almost completely ignored. More importantly, the low price is enough for a beggar to buy some Havana with the money from begging, Then enjoy the pleasure of doing whatever you want in the illusion.
As soon as this kind of tobacco appeared, it immediately became popular in the whole black street. For gangsters, thieves, killers and even prostitutes in the black street, this kind of thing is simply an ideal place to escape from reality. When forced by this cruel City, it is almost out of breath, Point on a deep breath, you can completely relax your tired nerves in the illusion of a dream.
Soon, Havana tobacco, which really achieved low price and high quality, was regarded by many people as a gift from the gods!
As for the little withdrawal after stopping smoking, compared with the double burden on the body and spirit every day in this city, that withdrawal is just as gentle as a woman's comfort.
The number of people who smoke on the black street increases sharply every day. It has become fashionable for gang members to hand over a Havana when they meet. It has become a habit for gang leaders to count money while holding Havana. Many children in the street are rushing around the streets with small boxes to sell their tobacco to everyone, Rich people can buy rolled tobacco directly, while people with a little money can also buy tobacco and go home to get it by themselves.
When the black streets began to saturate, Havana quickly spread out and began to spread to the whole lower urban area. The low price and extreme high feeling even made many members of the security forces in the city fall in love with this thing. After a large amount of filial piety was handed over to the security forces, this "harmless" tobacco has been approved as soon as possible and allowed to be sold to the lower areas, Although the price is low, when the quantity rises to a level, huge profits also roll in, making a lot of money behind the scenes.
yes! The pot is full!
"Ms. black rose, this is the sales report of this week, as well as the additional orders of subordinate gangs in black street. Please have a look."
In a large mansion in the black street, where the luxurious decoration is incompatible with most of the humble houses in the lower area, the masked Black Rose members are handing over a routine marketing report to leflea. The huge figures on the report make the upper level black rose staff look happy on the face covered by the mask, which is an astronomical wealth, It was once an achievement that no Gang on the black street could achieve by all means.
Leflea in a purple dress took over the report and looked at it and threw it aside. It seemed that everything recorded above was just a few insignificant figures.
For leflea, these figures only show that the current organization does not need to be secretly provided by Yinyi chamber of Commerce in terms of funds. On the contrary, it is no problem to feed back. In addition, these figures have no meaning. Although the black rose has taken root in this city, However, the ontology is still too fragile and needs to continue to penetrate into all links.
"Meet them above the supply, and let these little ants help me sell as much as possible."
"Yes, Ms. black rose!" The attendant nodded.
However, playing with the magic wand in her hand, the charming leflean tone suddenly changed and said: "the upper area! Let me remind you that what I want is to open the market in the upper area. It's no use selling how much in the lower area. If black roses want to grow, they must integrate into the upper area and remember it clearly for me."
The attendant trembled slightly and immediately stood up respectfully, listening like a soldier.
"Never underestimate yourself and never be satisfied with the present. Is your ambition only to nest in this poor place and spend your life like maggots? In the black rose, what I can't tolerate most is to be content with the status quo and continue to climb up to the top!"
With the momentum like a queen, leflea's words seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms, which made the people on one side out of breath.
