The coffee and green tea in the car are free, and the flight attendant even took down two bottles of Moutai liquor.
This action made Yang Jing a little confused. He knew that he could drink alcohol on the plane, but what did this Moutai mean?
Yang Jing really didn’t know this.
Wu Dawei explained, "Boss, try our Chinese national liquor. It is provided free of charge on the plane. Since 1975, passengers on international flights have been provided with a bottle of Moutai for free. However, now it is not provided to passengers with a bottle of Moutai, but provided for free. However, we are obviously taken care of. The stewardess directly brought us two bottles."
When Yang Jing heard this, he remembered that China Civil Aviation did provide Maotai liquor for free in the 1970s and 1980s.
At that time, passengers on China Civil Aviation International flights were given a bottle of Moutai for free. Later, it was changed to free supply until the end of the 1980s. At that time, a bottle of special Moutai cost about ten yuan, which was nearly one-sixth of the monthly salary. However, because flying was already "sky-high", many people thought it was not surprising to supply Moutai in the first class or even the economy class of the plane. At that time, there was not only Moutai, but also Hongbao orange juice, Olympic Cola and other drinks. ..
However, Moutai is only provided on international flights, and now domestic flights are also providing Moutai to our group of people, which is obviously special care.
Yang Jing waved his hand and said in fluent Chinese: "Miss, thank you very much for taking care of us, but we don't need this delicious wine now, just give us some drinks."
Yang Jing's fluent Chinese made the stewardess open her eyes wide in surprise. She really didn't expect that this blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner could speak Chinese so fluently.
This is not the case a few years later when a crosstalk performer suddenly appeared and the Chinese people realized that foreigners could speak fluent Chinese. Nowadays, a foreigner who can speak such fluent Chinese is rarer than the sun rising in the west.
After a brief moment of surprise, the beautiful stewardess smiled and gave Yang Jing and the others a few bottles of Coca-Cola, then politely said goodbye.
Wu Dawei opened the Coca-Cola in his hand, took a sip and said, "Boss, actually five or six years ago, you could still smoke on the plane. It was only in 1983 that the Civil Aviation Administration of China prohibited smoking on domestic flights, but it was still allowed on international flights. Now smoking is prohibited on the Japanese flights, so when the Japanese came to China, they chose to take the China Civil Aviation Airlines passenger planes, because China's passenger planes do not prohibit smoking."
"A few years ago, before I resigned, I once went to Japan with my boss for an inspection. After we boarded the plane, the stewardess provided us with cigarettes. I remember there was a 10-pack of cigars called 'White Haired Girl' that was very strong."
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "Actually, smoking is not banned on American flights yet, but I think it will be soon. Smoking on an airplane is indeed a very dangerous thing, so a smoking ban is very necessary."
The United States did ban smoking on flights relatively late. The country banned smoking on civil airliners in 1977, but lifted the ban in 1984, just a few years later. However, in 1988, which is this year, the United States began banning smoking on domestic flights under two hours, and then expanded it to domestic flights under hours in 1990. After 2000, smoking bans have been implemented on both domestic and international flights. Other countries have followed suit, but Cuba, famous for its cigars, should be the most stubborn country on this matter. It didn't announce a smoking ban on international flights until 204.
So, from this perspective, smokers living in this era are relatively lucky, at least they can smoke on long international flights. Unlike later generations, if you want to smoke on a plane, you're asking for death! Forget smoking, you won't even pass the security check.
Yang Jing thought about the time when he took Gege to Nanyun, the big box in front of the security checkpoint at Jinling Airport was full of lighters that passengers had voluntarily handed over. What's even more annoying is that it is said that these lighters will be taken out and resold by vendors at the airport. A disposable gas lighter is sold at the airport gate for three yuan or five yuan each. You can buy it if you want.
You know what, this business is really good. Although airport security will not confiscate your cigarettes, they will definitely confiscate your lighters. You need a lighter to light your cigarette after getting off the plane, right? After a few hours of flying, passengers who are addicted to smoking have long been choking, but they have cigarettes but no lighters in their pockets. Isn't this choking death? At this time, who would still complain about a lighter that originally only sold for 50 cents being sold for 3 or 5 yuan? No problem, just pay for it, at least take a few puffs to satisfy your craving...
In comparison, smoker passengers living in this era are definitely much happier than smoker passengers living in thirty years.
