American Big Landlord

Jessie Chou received a lot of text messages and phone calls in the past two days, all for his kind of magical watermelon. Friends said that the taste is really great. There are also some people who have not known each other for a long time, and are also happy to receive his gift. Feel free to ask if you can bring two more friends, because this watermelon was also shared by friends at the time, and they wanted to take some photos. go back.

Of course Jessie Chou couldn't agree right away, it also depends on who it is. Let people know how to do it. Let's give you one more place. That's to save you face, but it's not that we don't have many people to come, so we agreed to bring friends. This point is very important, and that's what Zhou Jiexi said.

He was still making up, as if he was checking something, and after a while, he nodded in agreement. People are still happy about this, and it really saves face.

As for what the facts are, people don't care about it anymore. Why bother to delve into so many things of mutual benefit. He has already waited for what he wants, so it doesn't really matter what it is, otherwise he will be just a little tender for Jessie Chou, which is really a bit too tender!

The most important of them are the few people who have received the incense from him. This kind of people don't just want watermelon. Individuals even called to ask what it was, because it smelled very comfortable, so they didn't order it, so they called to ask Zhou Jiexi.

Zhou Jiexi also told these people that this was done according to the ancient recipe, and the effect was very good. I think you are a good friend, so I gave you a little bit. To the person over there, he said in a vague way that he still had the ‘fragrant’ in his hand. This can be bought with money, so he can’t let his friends suffer.

Jessie Chou just made a haha, talking about making things, and some medicinal materials are not easy to collect. This also makes it a little difficult to make things, and why we are also a rich man, how can we have time to make this thing every day. Although it was not actually made by him, it was a masterpiece by the little fairies.

The plants and herbs in the space, as well as ginseng, etc., are used. According to a certain ratio, they are ground into powder and mixed to make the incense in the hands of Zhou Jiexi. Among them, Zhou Jiexi provided an isolated copy of an ancient book, which was obtained from the old lady.

Jessie Chou copied a copy first, and even the other books that he had read or not read, he was afraid that there would be an accident, so he copied a copy too. Of course this was done by the little fairy again. If those alone books are gone, it would be a shame to die.

The goblins followed the production method introduced above, and started to spend a lot of time. It didn't come out either. Later, Jessie Chou didn't use them all the time to do it, and directly improved it. In the end, the version came out, although it was a little different, but the effect was not bad, even better than that. It is understandable that space medicine has been combined with Reiki.

I saw Li Shuanghe's sandalwood, so I got it in my heart. In fact, this one was also put out for auction this time, and there was also the medicine cigarette. Said it is a modern version of this, this can also be said to pass. But if it is sold, it cannot be said to be a cigarette. After all, the United States requires a permit to sell cigarettes, and it cannot be sold casually.

In fact, smoking bans in the old United States are very serious. Not to mention that you can’t find cigarettes in shopping malls or in supermarkets. It’s hard to find even gas station kiosks. Of course, apart from Coca-Cola, you don’t even want to see cigarette butts.

When Jessie Chou went to buy cigarettes by herself, she was a little dumbfounded. This is still the United States, who claims to buy everything with money? He can't help but wonder if Americans have quit smoking?

I passed by Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other places along the way. I took a look at that time and found that there were really no people in Nima who smoked, and there were no ash buckets or ashtrays in public places. Is this because no one smokes but doesn't sell it, or is it because the country has regulations that people don't smoke?

Jessie Chou asked Atwood at that time, and then she knew the secret.

For the health of the American people, the government has always advocated a healthy lifestyle. The number of deaths from lung cancer caused by smoking is the main weapon used by the US government to impress smokers. Do you want to smoke or be healthy? As a result, people choose to be healthy. People would rather give money to sports coaches than to tobacco companies.

In this way, tobacco manufacturers had to move overseas under the declining market environment. If Europe could not enter, they would land in the sky. The market here is huge.

Lao Mei is a country that is good at passing on crises. If it wants a piece of pure land, it will definitely be able to do it. The abundance brought about by economic development makes it very cherish life. However, it will never give up on profit, just make it in another place.

On the contrary, when Jessie Chou was in the Celestial Dynasty, occasionally visiting the supermarket, you could see the cigarette counters displaying Marlboro and Camel cigarettes in a big way. No matter who wants to buy it, it doesn’t matter how old you are, just look at others Cigarettes are all immigrated to the heavenly capital.

Under the large courtyard, in public places, there is no one else to swallow clouds and fog, which is a common scene in the celestial dynasty. This is not only harmful to the health of others, but also a very uncivilized bad habit. But who cares? In her previous life, Zhou Jiexi also paid attention to children around her and tried not to smoke.

But in the United States, smoking is not allowed in public places. Therefore, in shops, supermarkets, public toilets, libraries, airports, hotels, restaurants... you can neither see anyone smoking nor smell any smoke.

After Jessie Chou came to the United States, when he went to town to buy things, or when he went to San Francisco, he saw many public places with eye-catching no-smoking goals. Some buildings not only prohibit smoking in the building, but also stipulate that even For outdoor pumping, you must also leave the building 10 meters away.

However, don't Americans smoke? how could it be possible! Of course someone smoked it. He asked Atwood at that time, since these people smoke, where do they smoke?

Atwood smiled slightly, and said to Jessie Chou: "If they want to smoke, they must be in private territory, in their own home, or in their car...

But it can also be smoked outside. Of course, you have to pay attention to it. He was arrested without paying attention. After some education, I learned that outside the door of the hotel and outside the shop, you will usually see a black half-person tall iron barrel for you to put cigarette butts.

There is a burning cigarette painted on it, with this sign, you are allowed to smoke here. On the lawn of the campus, you will also see a black iron barrel with a burning cigarette painted on it. There are some wooden benches next to it. You can sit here and have a smoke addiction.

In the park, although there is no smoking ban sign, the old and beautiful people generally avoid children or tourists and stand in places with few people to smoke. But to be honest, Jessie Chou is in the United States, where he has experienced, really rarely see cigarette butts on the ground.

Think about the people who smoked big hemp when watching Hollywood movies before, either secretly in their own homes, or in the toilet, or they just smoked a few mouthfuls in the car. In fact, the truth of cigarettes is similar to this.

The old Americans are severely punished by the economy, or it may be because of the education level of the whole people. Americans consciously or unconsciously abide by various laws and regulations. Under normal circumstances, no one is willing or necessary to take this risk, and it gradually becomes a conscious action.

To use a Chinese saying: The presence and absence of leaders are the same. In the United States, when there are police officers, it is the same as when there are no police officers. The police in the United States are not like those in China. They are driving cars and carrying guns, patrolling everywhere.

Who knows, when it will suddenly appear, maybe it is when you are committing a crime. It is common to see the police issuing tickets on the side of the road. The police in the United States do not distinguish between traffic police and bailiffs, and they take care of everything. This part of the function is almost comparable to the mighty big city of our celestial dynasty. It is managed!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiexi remembered that when she first went to rent a car, the salesperson also specifically confessed that she could not smoke in it.

I didn't know why at the time, but later I figured it out. You can smoke in your car, but you are not allowed to smoke in a rented car. Because car rental companies face many customers, if you leave a choking smell of smoke in the car, how can this car be rented out again?

If the smell of smoke is detected when returning the car, it will cause trouble again-a fine. American car rental companies are also unprecedentedly developed and convenient. Even if Americans own a car, they will rent a car due to various needs. It is very difficult for Jessie Chou to understand. But then I also understood-this also belongs to the special national conditions of the United States.

Except that smoking is not allowed in public places in the United States; when entering customs, one person can only bring one cigarette. The hateful thing is that American law stipulates that non-adults are not allowed to buy cigarettes. If you sell cigarettes in supermarkets or shops, you must show your ID card to prove your age. If a salesperson breaks the law, he will go to jail once he is found by the police or someone reports it. "

In supermarkets where you buy cigarettes, there are very few types of cigarettes, and the one that Zhou Jiexi knows is Marlboro. And unlike ordinary goods on the shelf, they are placed behind the salesperson, and customers cannot take them by themselves.

It has two prices: one is 4.9 dollars per pack, and the other is 2.3 dollars per pack. He was also a little puzzled at the time: ‘Why is the gap so big? ’

When I asked, I realized that the cheap ones are not real cigarettes, but a kind of cigarettes similar to chewing gum, which allows you to chew in your mouth when you miss smoking to relieve your cravings. There are few varieties of cigarettes and they are expensive.

Moreover, tobacco taxes in the United States are very high, so cigarettes are also expensive.

The purpose is obvious: smoking is not promoted, it is so expensive that you can't afford to smoke or smoke less. See if you don't want to be healthy, and don't let others want to be healthy!

Even real cigarettes, like beer in the United States, are lighter and lighter, and cheaper. Spent 4.9 dollars, bought a pack of cigarettes, more than double the price of the Heavenly Dynasty. At the checkout, the funny thing is that you still have to pay taxes, about 10%, which is based on the tax laws of each state.
