Chapter 907 Clouds and Mist(2/2)
Even before the cigarettes were not available, everyone smoked them for two or three hundred years.
Fortunately, when it comes to cigarettes, the Sixteenth Prince has to treat them as a man's pastime. He is not very addicted to eyes, but just smokes one when others smoke.
Since Cao Yong couldn't persuade the Sixteenth Prince not to smoke, he found a good piece of jade and made a cigarette holder to give it to the Sixteenth Prince.
Cao Yong couldn't say whether it could play a slight role, but he just thought that having a cigarette holder was better than not.
Unlike this small cigarette holder, it attracted the attention of Mongolian princes and princes.
The Mongolian princes had vast fiefs, cattle, sheep, slaves under their names, and the rewards from the court, so they could not be said to be rich and rich, but they were much more generous than the royal family members of the capital.
This cigarette was sold to Mongolian departments long ago.
Nowadays, it is common for Mongolian princes to carry a gold cigarette box and a silver cigarette box to carry. In addition to serving tea, they also need to add cigarettes.
But at this time, there is no filter for the cigarette. If you can't smoke it at the end, you have to throw a small part of it. If you want to take a few more puffs, you have to burn your fingers.
The cigarette holder on the Sixteenth Prince's hand made many people jealous of it. Many people asked where it came from and wanted to ask the Sixteenth Prince to "transfer" at a high price.
The Sixteenth Prince naturally would not "transfer" the birthday gift given by Cao Yong, but he was very smart and immediately saw that the "smoking mouth" had a lot of regulations.
So, after reporting to Kangxi, someone rushed back to the capital.
A few days later, "internal-made" cigarette mouth appeared in Rehe. The materials were different, including jade and agate, gold and silver, single gems inlaid, and sets of different sizes.
Of course, this novel object is also expensive.
However, no one lacks these little money and is more respectful to Mongolian princes and princes, who specialize in buying expensive ones.
You know, this is a "internal creation". Even if the craftsmen outside can imitate it, they do not have such exquisite craftsmanship.
In addition to personal use, many people also buy ten or twenty more gold and jade materials, which can be used to send gifts to parents, and at the worst, only silver can be rewarded.
For a moment, cigarette holders could be seen everywhere in Rehe... Even if they didn't smoke cigarettes earlier, they also prepared a box of cigarettes in their pockets to show off their new cigarette holders...
