Chapter 3 point the gun at your mouth

The term opium is a transliteration from a foreign language, and addicts gave it an auspicious name called "Fushou Gao". As for whether smoking Fushou Gao can lead to a longer life, only God knows!In the earliest days, opium was imported, and the most popular among addicts was human head soil.The net weight of a special-sized human head is 18 taels or 7 yuan, and the small one with the eagle head mark is also 8 taels or 5 yuan. Regardless of the size, they are wrapped in layers of oiled tissue paper, and the seams are stamped with watermarks.The large human head soil is indeed the size of a human head, so the human head soil has become a special term for Indian large soil over time.

In addition, there is a kind of tobacco ointment that has been boiled from the place of production, one or two boxes, sealed in a thin lead-skin flat box, with the logo of an eagle spreading its wings on the box, and painted with golden red varnish. People call it Yangtu, and it is also It's called red clay.Whether it is foreign soil or large soil, anyway, they were all transported from India under the rule of Great Britain to China to harm our common people. China has a vast territory, and the soil and climate in several provinces are suitable for growing opium. People are vying for the benefits.Yunnan borders Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, and was the first to grow opium.Gradually, Sichuan also tried to grow successfully.The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and Sarazi is the gold producing area of ​​Xikou soil.The wind is high on the top of the plug, and Rehe Tu is the strongest smoke in Beikou.Generally, old guns believe that the cloud soil has a light and sweet taste, and its fragrance is like osmanthus; Zhanxiang lingers around the nose.As for the cephalopods from India, besides its rich and mellow taste, there is another beauty: most drug addicts have dry stools, and they are most afraid of diarrhea. After two tubes, the dysentery will heal and the diarrhea will stop immediately, and the effect will be seen immediately.So later, when the smoking ban was strictly enforced, and when human head soil disappeared in China, some people sold the oily tissue paper wrapped with human head soil (there would always be some cigarette scum on it).A piece of oily tissue paper also sells for three or a few dollars. When it is used to boil smoke cream, it can also cure dysentery!

Smoking opium is a high-end enjoyment for ladies of the wealthy and leisure class. In addition to identifying the origin of the cigarettes, in order to avoid the face of the smokers, pay attention to using cold cage clear water paste without any ash (called clear paste).Some people have smoked opium for several years, and there is no smoke on their faces, which is caused by smoking clear water ointment without ash.In addition to smoke paste, cigarette lamps are also one of the important tools. Smokers pay attention to the stability of the fire, the bright cover and the bright smoke.This kind of boutique is called Taiji lamp, which is also an imported product.The smoke lampshade covers the whole smoke lamp airtight, the cover is thick and crystal clear, the smoke holder is hollowed out with colorful anchors, and even inlaid with ten-color enamel and seven treasures.The large lamps are made of a copper wire shelf, which can hold a small teapot for stewing strong tea; the small lamps can be held in one hand, making people feel unaware.A good lamp must be matched with a good fight. The most famous pipe is the Shouzhou Sun Widow Pipe. It is said that the mud used in the pipes she made is washed nine times and then put into the furnace. There are single-set, double-set, There are three sets, the surface of the bucket has the elegance of calligraphy and painting, inlaid with silk, and painted with gold. Just sip on the lamp, and the sound is different, neither confusing the bucket nor cutting off the fire.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a great official in Xinjiang who had a very rich collection. There were more than 40 sticks of Sun Widow's Dou alone. .

Tobacco sticks are indispensable for burning tobacco bubbles. It is said that Zhang Sanpan makes the best cigarette sticks.His finished steel is pure and soft, not bent continuously, every two are a pair, male and female are bent opposite each other, stuck in a flat wooden box the size of a powder mirror box, the head of the stick is elegant and refined, and the most wonderful thing is that it is not Sticking is not stagnant, rolling smoke and rubbing bubbles, turning freely.The bong is rhinoceros antelope horn, keel ivory, gloomy nan, which can be sharp and soft or moist, and the root carvings of Zhulong are according to their potential. The cigarette tray for the gun holder is more rosewood, red sandalwood, mother-of-pearl, and red, all of which are full of skills.

The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty was the queen who would enjoy opium the most. Because Daoguang and Xianfeng hated opium, no one of the two emperors was in power and the concubines in the palace dared to try to secretly smoke it. He Yanjia, Sushun, Duanhua and others conspired to seize power, Cixi and Prince Gong had an affair, uncles and sisters-in-law cooperated internally and externally, and settled the great friendship.After the new funeral, Empress Dowager Cixi was exhausted after taking care of everything, so the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought in the fushou cream, along with a set of exquisite smoking sets.Cixi occasionally inhaled three or two tubes, which actually had the effect of refreshing and replenishing qi.But she smoked opium without telling Ci'an, so every time she smoked, she lay down on the left side and smoked two puffs, then changed to the right side and took two puffs, and got up quickly.It is said that smoking on the other side can prevent the face from turning sideways, and the light will not be trapped. When you get up, you will rub your face with a hot towel immediately, and your face will never be smoked.

Cixi still loves beauty in her old age, and smoking is her privacy, avoiding Ci'an's reluctance to disclose it, and the Taiyuan Hospital dispenses moisturizing medicine from time to time, so Cixi's opium smoking is not very noticeable.After Puyi came out of the palace, after the establishment of the aftermath management committee of the Qing Dynasty, they took an inventory of the belongings of the officials, and some people said why they didn't see the opium smoking utensils.Since Empress Dowager Cixi was buried in Dongling, all the things she used in daily life were buried in the underground palace. The four noble concubines from Longyu to Jin, Yu, Xun, and Yan in Yeting only smoked dry tobacco, hookah and did not smoke opium. There is no exquisite smoking set left in the palace.

Among the Beiyang warlords, Xiao Yaonan, the warlord of Hubei, was known as "a gun in the Yangtze River". Not only was he addicted to smoking, but he was also full of rare guns, and he also collected the most famous guns.There are two rows of specially-made gun racks in his smoking room. The upper row is made of dexterous pistols made in various countries, carved with gold, tempered silver and ivory carvings, and the lower row is the treasured guns that he has carefully crafted like jade and stone.Among all the smoking guns, there are two that he likes most, a nine-turn Jindan horned dragon Gujia bamboo-jointed gun, and a bamboo-rooted gun with nine galls and eighteen tumors.The former lived outside after Xiao died, and was bought by Gu Asi, who opened an earthen plaster shop in Houhualou, Hankou, with a lot of money. The gun is tied down from the girder, and all the smokers who come to smoke, if they are curious, have to try it. It is agreed that each person is limited to two barrels, in order, and there is a long line of people around the cigarette bed all day long.Later, after inquiring about the old gun that I often go to, I learned that smoking "the gun needs to be hot, and the fight needs to be full". Sanyi's treasure gun is hot for fighting, and one bubble with that gun can equal the effect of five bubbles. No wonder Some people are addicted to this gun, and they have to smoke two barrels of the gun and the lamp every day, otherwise it seems that the addiction is not enough.At first I thought it was strange, but after explaining the secret, I realized it.

Chu Yupu of the Zhilu Army is certainly a brave general under Zhang Zongchang, but he is also a well-known figure in the black book.When Chu was leading a gang in the Yimeng mountainous area in southern Shandong, he was nicknamed "Chu Sanshuang". First, he could put a box cannon with both hands; Down, can blow out the tone of charging and enveloping the enemy.Later, he surrendered to Zhang Xun, the braided handsome, and presented the braided handsome as a meeting gift with the treasure of the bong, the jade-mouthed jade-tailed rhinoceros horn gun, together with the emerald double-tipped lotus pod. From then on, Chu Sanshuang's nickname became "Chu Ershuang" and was gradually forgotten.

During the civil war, Mr. Jiang convened military generals from all over the country in batches for training in Lushan. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, Wan Fulin was the leader of the Northeast generals. About seven or eight generals were called to Lushan for training at the same time. Military discipline is strict, and if there is any violation, there will be no leniency. As soon as everyone arrives in Hankou, they first report to Director He Xuezhu of the Wuhan Appeasement Office for advice.He Yuanyuan is also a person in this way, and he knows the ups and downs. He has already asked Gao Shen Yang Qinsan to prepare a pair of smoking cessation pills for each person to take up the mountain, and take one for each of the three meals a day.At first, everyone was still apprehensive and apprehensive, fearing that the addiction to smoking would break out.After the exercise and class, I can advance and retreat with the class without any pain, and my mind is settled.When the training was over and they went down the mountain, Director He Xuezhu hosted a banquet at the Pacific Hotel to welcome them to celebrate their achievements. After drinking and eating, one of them suddenly yawned. Soreness, some tears exchanged.Fortunately, the military training was over and they were about to return to the defense. They had no scruples, so they turned on the lights on the couch and smoked wildly. The smoke filled the air for a while, and the fragrance was ten miles away. Nose before willing to go away.A tabloid reporter said: Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals set up a five-cloud and hibiscus formation at the Pacific Hotel, which was a joke for a while.

After the golden flower of Sai Erye, who was very popular when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, passed through his prime, he hid Ye Guhua, felt lonely and depressed, so he also became addicted to opium, and hired an expert to give her Little Chen's mother, who beats the smoker, burns cigarettes and serves tea for her all day long.It is said that she smokes three times a day, twelve puffs each time.Once, when she came home from a dinner at night, Xiao Chen’s mother hadn’t finished her cigarette puffs yet, and the lamp failed to turn on. She couldn’t wait to swallow two raw cigarette puffs, and immediately became dizzy and vomited continuously.A reporter sent a message indiscriminately, saying that she had a quarrel with Xinhuan and committed suicide by taking poison, causing her to refute rumors everywhere.Because of this news, her maid, Xiao Chenma, won the reputation of being a master of tobacco bubbles. Later, she was found out by a plaster shop in Meishi Street, Beiping, and hired as the second boss. , but also mixed well.The little Bai Yushuang who sang the bouncing opera was originally a smoker girl in this clay plaster shop before she asked Bai Yushuang to learn opera. Her smoke was mellow and soft, which was taught to her by Xiao Chen's mother!People in Hankou call smoke monkeys who smoke in the smoke hall. Each person has a piece of Hanyu or jadeite smoke board, and the smoke bubbles are rolled on the jade board.The most famous smoking monkey in Hankou is called Hu Laosi. He can make smoke bubbles into twelve zodiac signs. The most wonderful thing is that the Maitreya Buddha he made has long ears and a flat belly. It is wrapped in tin foil and can be insoluble for three days. A must.

Lu Xiaoman, a famous woman known as a peerless beauty, became addicted to drugs because she was induced by Weng Ruiwu, a famous actress in Shanghai.Weng Yuan is a descendant of a family. In addition to the antique calligraphy and paintings left by his ancestors, he also owns a tea mountain.After Xiaoman divorced Wang Geng and remarried Xu Zhimo, and sang "Horse Dealer" and "Yutangchun" with Weng Ruiwu at the Tianmahui Peking Opera Cup, Weng Ruiwu lingered on Lu Xiaoman.Xiaoman is frail and sickly, Ruiwu has a unique skill in massage, and he becomes addicted to massage without knowing it.Zhimo sees that Xiaoman is getting more and more addicted, so he persuades her to quit opium and stay away from Ruiwu.The two had a verbal quarrel and turned against each other. Xiaoman suddenly lost her temper, grabbed the cigarette lamp and bong from the cigarette bed, and threw it downstairs from the entrance. A copper cigarette tray flew past Zhimo's forehead, although it only scratched A little oily skin, but shattered the glass of Zhimo's glasses.In a fit of rage, the poet took a plane and flew flat, intending to revive his teaching career, but the plane crashed into a mountain in the fog over Dangjiazhuang not far from Jinan. Dying.After the accident, Xiaoman naturally felt deeply guilty and had been a vegetarian for the rest of her life, but because she was weak and sick, she was in a bad mood, so she smoked more and more opium, and she was skinny and dark-faced.In 1962, Weng Ruiwu sold out all the money and finally got sick. When he was dying, he sighed and said a word of conscience: "I advise you to smoke opium, and I have made you suffer." After a few years, the fragrance will disappear and the jade will die. Li Ruijiu, Li Hezhang's nephew and grandson, was one of the famous sons in Shanghai back then. He married the third lady Sheng Sheng (daughter of Sheng Xuanhuai), a famous Shanghai lady.The husband and wife smoke, never sleep in the light, and do not drink a sip of tea to suppress the smoke, so the husband and wife of their husband and wife are graceful, graceful and elegant, while the women are soft, graceful and graceful, with gorgeous demeanor.Once, Sheng San confided her secret to keeping her face after drinking, saying that she ate a bowl of raw chicken porridge every night before going to bed, so her beauty remained forever.Whether this private side is aura is yet to be studied by beauty experts. In the early years, there was a legend in Beiping Liyuan that if a singer who sang Xusheng could smoke two puffs of opium, the flavor of his voice would naturally be pleasant, so from the older generation Tan Jiaotian to the later Yu, Ma, Yan and others, they were all full-fledged addicts.The most interesting of them is Yan Jupeng, who likes to wear black spun silk gowns in summer and black satin padded jackets in winter.He often sang night plays at the Halfei Theater on Old Xingbu Street in Beiping. He lived in Hutong Hutong, Beixinqiao. Before going to the garden, he smoked enough opium at home before leaving. It takes half an hour to walk, and the first half of the smoke is still strong enough, but in the second half, I can't stand it anymore. Although the ban on smoking was loosened and tightened at that time, there was no famous actor who dared to turn on the lights in the background to enjoy himself.Sanye Yan’s good friend, Barrister Sanduoluo, lives in Baimiao Hutong, Xidan, which is in the same alley as the old Xingbu Street. Therefore, as long as Yan Jupeng plays with “Hal Fei”, he must go to Sangzhai first to get addicted to cigarettes. Then go play in the garden.Yan San has the same problem as Shu Yan, not only likes to sleep in the lamp, but also likes to burn cigarettes while gesticulating randomly with cigarette sticks, making decisions about his figure, so he is covered in cigarette paste all over his body.After a long time, the smoke ointment sticks to his clothes bit by bit. Fortunately, he is wearing black clothes, so it is not very conspicuous.Ju Peng knew that Lawyer Sang's house always had a whole jar of cigarette paste in it, so he never brought cigarettes with him when he went to Sang's house.Once Sanduoluo bothered him to sing "Let Xuzhou" and he wanted to sing "Fighting Soochow". Sang naturally felt unhappy. When Yan San came, he deliberately hid the smoke ointment, saying that the ointment had just been smoked , I haven't had time to boil it yet!In desperation, Yan San lighted up the cigarette lamp in a daze, and suddenly found a small piece of tobacco ointment on his sleeve, so he scratched left and right, and let him make a few bubbles to enjoy himself.Later, Lawyer Sang called Yan Jupeng's black coat Fuguiyi, and this pawn was obtained from digging cigarette residues. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the ban on smoking in Shaanxi was carried out vigorously for a period of time. At that time, the provincial chairman was Jiang Dingwen, the director of the Civil Affairs Department was Wang Depu, the director of the Construction Department was Lei Baohua, the high court was the party president, and the director of the Civil Affairs Department was also the director of Shaanxi Province. Supervision of smoking ban.Jiang went to Nanjing to report on his work, and the provincial affairs were performed by the director of the Civil Affairs Department.One day, the head of the party and director Lei jointly had a banquet in the party mansion. The guests were all senior executives of the government and military at that time.It was supposed to be peaceful, but someone said: "There are so many guests today, the smoking ban can be temporarily relaxed!" This sentence almost made Mr. Wang Runsheng, who is in charge of anti-smoking policy, unable to step down. Surrounded the party mansion, according to the seriousness of the case, detained and detained, and made a fuss.So everyone split up to find someone to intercede with Director Wang, but Wang Runsheng was stern and unselfish, and declined all of them. Even Jiang Dingwen sent a telegram from Nanjing to say that he was still doing business in business without favoritism.At the end of the stalemate, it was unthinkable, and the unyielding director Wang was finally promoted to the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of the Interior, and the problem was resolved.This incident is an anecdote of Zhenghai in the sound of the ban on smoking. I am afraid that not many people know about it now.
