There are a lot of ready-made airships, but Yuan Fang did not transfer them from the base, but from the military factory in Xizhou, so that they could be directly transported to the naval base in Nanzhou in the mode of three pieces, where they were assembled and debugged.

Breakfast is still very rich, Sang Rou told everyone about the upcoming expedition to Nanzhou, Yu Jingqiu They have no objections, they will follow wherever Yuan Fang goes, this is their duty, this time, they will become the pilots of the fog balloon, to teach those hateful widows, they are even very much looking forward to it.

Yan Yue said with a bitter face: "Brother, are you not at home for the New Year?" I've been preparing for years, how can we finish eating without you guys? ”

Guan Xiaoyun pulled the rice in this bowl and said heartlessly: "It's okay, we just take it with us when we leave." ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "It's okay, we will leave in three days, and the day after tomorrow for the New Year, we can also celebrate well, and everyone will eat more when the time comes." ”

Ren Fei said to Yan Yue apologetically: "Xiaoyue, I will also leave after the New Year." ”

Yan Yue's face became even more ugly: "You are all gone, and I am left alone." ”

Yuan Fang comforted: "How is it possible, there are still Chunya and Fengjiao, as well as Xiaolu and Qiuyue Xiahe, how can you say that you are the only one left." ”

Yan Yue's heart was very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to affect Yuan Fang and Ren Fei, so she pouted and grabbed a pig's trotter and bit it hard: "You all go, help me beat those bastards, and you Ren Fei, if you dare to mess with flowers and grass over there, I will let my son change his surname, I will do what I say." Ren Fei repeatedly assured that he was absolutely loyal to Yan Yue.

After dinner, Chang Heng visited, he came to bid farewell to Yuan Fang, he has been following Chang Xun, he has long wanted to go out independently to verify his ability, but he has never had the opportunity, and now, he finally left Chang Xun's wings and went to the battlefield independently, which is a great test for him.

Chang Heng and Yuan Fang have a good relationship, and the two can talk about it, this time they separate, it may be goodbye, but Chang Heng is not afraid at all, and he made an appointment with Yuan Fang, and after the war is over, everyone will return to the imperial capital to drink well for a few days.

Yuan Fang took out the cigars he was usually reluctant to smoke and gave them to Chang Heng ten, and Chang Heng cherished them, although he didn't know how to smoke.

Not long after Chang Heng left, Chen Xin and other generals came to say goodbye, which made Yuan Fang a little baffled, and he was not a military boss, why did these guys come here to say goodbye?

Coming is a guest, Yuan Fang has a heartfelt respect for these generals who are about to go to the battlefield, of course, it is a good tea and good smoke to entertain, after a greeting, Yuan Fang finally learned the purpose of these guys' trip, their real intention is not to say goodbye, but to instruct, to ask Yuan Fang to take the air force to support as soon as possible, they do this, there is only one reason, because they are not sure in their hearts that they can block the enemy army several times their own for too long.

Each person was given ten cigars, and the better the war ended, they drank together, Yuan Fang watched the generals leave, looked at their upright and resolute backs, and muttered to himself: "I don't know how many are left at that time, I hope there will be no one less." ”

That night, I got the news that Yuan Fang was going to go on the expedition again, Damei, Doctor Ye, Lu Ling and other familiar friends all came, Xiaolu took the initiative to ask Ying to go with him, but Yuan Fang refused, Xiaolu had just reunited with her family, Yuan Fang didn't want the family to be separated so soon, although Xiaolu's brother Fang Liang was a bit of a bastard, but how to say it was also a family, as for Yu Jingqiu, Yuan Fang had no choice, he knew Yu Jingqiu too well, she would not stay alone in the imperial capital.

Tomorrow is the New Year, Da Mei gave Yuan Fang a gift, this gift Yuan Fang is quite like, is a tobacco shop, of course, this is the Chamber of Commerce to open the money, Yuan Fang is only one of the shareholders, Da Mei gave him a monthly ration of free tobacco.

Open the exquisite wooden box, fifty cigarette rolls rolled in white cotton paper are neatly stacked in it, each one is as thick as a little finger, slightly longer than ordinary cigarette rolls, there is no filter, it is an ordinary cigarette roll rolled with tobacco.

Pinched one and lit it, took a sip, Yuan Fang nodded again and again with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good." ”

Guan Xiaoyun asked, "How about it compared to a cigar?" Which one is good to smoke? ”

Yuan Fang pointed to the box: "You can taste it yourself, everyone's taste is different, how do I know what you like?" I prefer this anyway. As he spoke, he grinned at Da Mei and saw Qin Cao glaring at him.

Yuan Fang ignored Qin Cao, who was full of vinegar, and took out twenty cigarette rolls and said to Da Mei: "Da Mei, this thing is inconvenient to carry in a box, and the cost is also high, it is better to pick it up with a strong and hard oil paper, and wrap twenty cigarettes into a box, just like this, and leave a fold on it that is easy to tear and will not be torn apart, so that it is not only easy to carry, but it can be carried in your pocket at ordinary times, and it is not easy to break, and the cost will be lower." Then ten boxes are packed into one, and ten are packed into one box, which is easy to transport or wholesale in large quantities. By the way, we can also print a trademark on the packaging to create our own brand. ”

Guan Xiaoyun pouted and said, "What brand, I guess you don't have anything else, it's not a plum blossom." ”

Yuan Fang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "What? It's called plum blossom cigarettes, isn't it? ”

Guan Xiaoyun responded disapprerovantly and said, "Okay, of course it's good, it doesn't cost money anyway." ”

Da Mei heard that Yuan Fang named it after the plum blossom again, her pretty face was slightly red, she glared at Guan Xiaoyun and said, "Why don't you change your name." ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand: "You don't need to change it, it's called plum blossom, I think it's very good, so that people can know at a glance that it is a product of our plum blossom chamber of commerce, and you don't have to advertise." ”

Yan Yue pouted and said, "Brother, you are too partial, Sister Da Mei and Xiao Mei's names both have the word Mei, as for me, I don't have any welts at all, no, you have to name something after me." ”

Yuan Fang didn't think about it and said, "That's not simple? There is not only one kind of tobacco, some are stronger, some are lighter, it's a big deal to let Damei get some other tobacco, and then use your name as another brand, so that those who like to smoke have more choices. ”

Ren Fei frowned and said, "Yan Yue's brand cigarettes, they sound a little awkward." ”

Yan Yue was dissatisfied and said, "What's awkward? I think it's good, what do you think? Everyone savored it, but no one said anything.

Ren Fei continued: "Xiaoyue, think about it, there will be more people buying cigarettes in the future, how embarrassing it would be to hear words like 'boss, bring me Yan Yue' on the street." Yan Yue thought about it, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Fang for help.
