Several staff members of the Inspection Office of the General Administration of Customs are busy, and hundreds of boxes of handmade cigars imported from Cuba are being registered.

"In the past few years, the living conditions have improved, and people in China don't even look up to the time-honored cigarettes like 'Zhonghua'. They like to smoke some foreign products, which is a typical worship of foreigners." One of the staff members, Opened a box of Cuban Cohibas framed in a small, elegant mahogany case.

There are only three cigars in the box, and the price of a single cigar is as high as hundreds or even thousands of yuan. Even when the customs inspection office is inspecting, in order to avoid interference, the customs inspection team has to clean up a tobacco office to prevent The inspected product is damp or shows any other signs of damage.

"The so-called upper-class people can really smoke these money-burning gadgets on a daily basis. With our income, we only dare to give a box to our parents-in-law and elders during Chinese New Year. According to me, young people still like 'Marlboro' ' and other cigarettes, my daughter-in-law said that the smell is not so strong." After all, the staff carefully put on gloves, took individual cigarettes from hundreds of boxes, and extracted some tobacco leaves from them for inspection. .

After this inspection, because it involves wooden box packaging, it still needs to be sent to the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to detect whether there are any germs on the box. After all the inspection procedures are over, the cigarettes will be sent to the corresponding high-end After the tobacco and alcohol business, the net worth will double again.

"Foreign tobacco tastes good, but the price is too scary. Look at this box, it took away our monthly wages. I still miss the old cigarettes from the old tobacco factory in the early years," said a man wearing a The old inspector with a pair of presbyopic glasses had some hoarfrost on his temples, and there was a shriveled cigarette case pinned to his overalls pocket.

"Old Chu is going to talk about the past again, about the end of the 70s, when he first joined the State Customs Administration," several younger inspectors joked. With a teasing tone, no one really dared to laugh at Old Chu.

Lao Chu of the General Administration of Customs is the staff member with the longest qualifications in the General Administration, even though he was 54 years old, that is, last year, the deputy director submitted the documents and got a section-level position.Just because he has worked in the department for 30 years, even the new director should be polite when he sees him.Not to mention that most of the inspectors in the inspection office were trained by Lao Chu.

The staff put the tobacco leaves drawn from the cigars under the corresponding testing equipment, and the ingredients of herbs and various additives were clearly displayed.

"All data indicators are in line with international standards. It is worthy of being an old brand of famous brand cigars. There is no problem," another staff member praised.

Hearing the other party's praise, a trace of melancholy flashed in Old Chu's eyes. Seven or eight years ago, he was also responsible for inspecting the batch of domestic first-class tobacco that was destroyed.

"After that, you want to say that I rely on the old to sell the old, and that the red soil in Cuba grows the best tobacco leaves in the world. I would like to say that the southwestern part of our country once grew good tobacco leaves that are no less than Cuban cigars. It's a pity that those Somehow, the tobacco leaves turned into cigarettes and became a 'drug' rich in addictive substances." Old Chu regretted.

"Chief Chu, you are talking about the sensational poisoning incident of domestic brand-name cigarettes a few years ago? I have heard of that incident. Before his death, my grandfather still smoked that kind of cigarettes." Among others When the staff members were not surprised by Lao Chu's sudden emotion, a new staff member who just came to work this year couldn't help being a little curious when he heard what Lao Chu said.

He himself doesn't smoke, but before his dying grandfather, he would tell the younger generation in the family to burn a few packs of cigarettes for him every year on Qingming and Double Ninth Festival.Older people always have some nostalgia complex.

It was unavoidably strange for the new young staff to see the usual taciturn old Chu talking about that incident again today.

As a professional in charge of tobacco inspection, I have a good understanding of the whole process of tobacco sales and circulation.When those cigarettes were sold in China, they were still in good condition. When they were exported for sale, they were sent to the customs office according to the usual practice, and then they found out that there was a problem. Then what did the supervision and inspection departments in the factory and distribution link do? "

"It's been so long, even I was very vague when I said it. I remember that I tested the first batch of samples, and there was no problem. When I checked the second batch the next day, something went wrong. Back When I went back to review the first batch, I also investigated and dealt with the poison in the sample cigarettes. According to other people in the customs at the time, I was confused for a while," Old Chu darkened his eyes, and for that matter, he wrote He wrote a self-criticism letter, which was his first work-related self-criticism in more than 30 years of work.

"Is there such a thing? Chief Chu is famous for his sharp eyes. I heard that when it comes to tobacco, you can know the origin of this tobacco just by sniffing it." The new staff member was surprised.

"It was a firearm, and it went off for a while. For safety reasons, this batch of cigars will be re-inspected tomorrow," Lao Chu shook his head, sighed, and temporarily put the box of cigars next to the workbench.

A few days later, the batch of cigars imported directly from Cuba passed the inspection and were sent to the corresponding high-end tobacco and liquor stores, where they lay quietly on the shelves, waiting for customers to come to buy them.

After separating from Bai Xue on the weekend, the three of Xiao Xian arrived at the North Campus and started their normal studies and daily homework.

But Xiaoxian soon discovered that, except for her, the lives of the other two seemed to be slightly different from the past.

Xuerou frequently went in and out of the material center, and then hid in the room with a whole box of materials, busy with something crackling inside.

As for Yiyi's commotion, that day after Qu Yang asked the phone number, he actually made several phone calls to the apartment. After Yiyi answered the phone, she talked and laughed every day in the living room. When she saw Xiao Xian coming over, Just keep your voice down and chatter non-stop.

"You really intend to forget about Wang Shuai, but the target is Qu Yang, I can't accept this," Xiaoxian couldn't help asking after Yiyi hung up the phone one day.

"What's wrong? Could it be that you like Qu Yang?" Yiyi was cautious.

"How can it be, I just think it's too early to fall in love now, and Qu Yang's character" Xiaoxian still doesn't know how to play her role, is she a person who forbids teenagers from dating, or is she a person who neither opposes nor advocates enlightened "parents".

"I actually think that life will be much easier with a heartless person like Qu Yang," Yiyi said noncommittally, neither admitting nor denying it.

"He is too ordinary." If Qu Yang heard Xiaoxian's evaluation of him, he would be so angry that he would hit the tofu wall, thinking of him as a handsome guy, Yushu Linfeng, who has been popular in the middle and high schools of Sacred Heart Middle School for six years. To be called too ordinary by Xiao Xian?
But Yiyi understands that what Xiao Xian said is ordinary is not because of appearance or family background, but because Qu Yang is an "ordinary person" compared to them.How do ordinary people accept a supernatural person or a practitioner.

"I can't control so much now. I used to be too shy in being a person and doing things." After all, most of the time in the past, she couldn't be more ordinary. She is not young anymore, and she will be responsible for what she does. .After Yiyi finished speaking, she blinked, "Don't just talk about others, you have more choices than Yiyi. Think about it, which one to choose?"

"Me? Which one?" Xiao Xian, who was so focused on talking about other people's right and wrong, had completely forgotten about her own affairs.

"Who else is Zhou Ziang and Li Ye? The right hand is Zhou Ziang, and the left hand is Li Ye. One is destined by fate, one is a childhood sweetheart, one is steady and considerate, and the other is passionate and infatuated. Well, if it were me, I would be very happy." It's hard to choose," Yiyi shook her left and right hands, as if she was too embarrassed to die.

In fact, not only her, but even Xuerou couldn't tell which one Xiao Xian would choose.After Li Ye appeared, the two Xiao Xian's sisters, Tao Tao, divided into two factions.

Xuerou chose to help Zhou Ziang. In her words, Zhou Ziang was well educated, stable enough, and had a good family background. Most importantly, he treated Xiao Xian very well.

Yiyi's opinion is the opposite, she thinks that Xiaoxian's temperament is unruly, Zhou Ziang is too rigid, not to mention other things, he has known Xiaoxian for so long, and he has never seen him ask Xiaoxian out, let alone send anything to make girls like him s things.Li Ye is different, chasing BJ from Guizhou, that is a long distance.To this extent, a simple "very good" is not enough to describe it.

"You two talk about this in private, no wonder you whisper your ears behind my back every day. I'm not what you said to them," Xiaoxian said in an extremely determined tone, with an expression like that of a person who is determined to be with the green light forever. like a nun.

"Then you don't pay attention to the two top talents, you don't like the type of Mao Yi, the type who is stupid and only knows how to run around a basketball all day long," Yiyi recalled Remembering the last time they went to see Bai Xue, Mao Yi was quite concerned about Xiao Xian.

"Okay, let me go. If you continue to doubt like this, I suspect that you will think that I have a crush on Uncle Mao. Don't talk about it. Do you know what Xuerou is doing these days? It will never be the same as you , secretly found a phone lover?" Xiaoxian teased deliberately.

There was a burst of cheers from upstairs, the voice came from Xuerou's room.

"Hey, what's the matter? Did you win the lottery or not? Could it be that Xuerou was selected by the school and sent to the exchange meeting?" Yiyi jumped up, and according to Xuerou's friendship with Romeo No. [-], there is really such a possibility sex.
