Bao-Yu had been there when the drug opium was discovered.
"Baba," she said and motioned the elder Chinese male to come.
When Yao was where the girl is, he asked, "What is it?"
She pointed out the plant.
"It's the opium poppy, the plant used to make the drug opium."
"Good eye Bao-Yu," Yao said with a smile.
The Chinese female picked a couple of them to bring to the factory later.
Each place they passed that had the opium poppy, she would pick a couple and soon enough, she was carrying two armfuls of opium poppies.
Yao rolled his eyes when he saw just how many she was carrying.
"Sometimes I wonder about you."
She just shrugged and took the opium poppies to the factory.
"We're going to give these to the British because we've been trading with them," Yao said.
The Shanghai twins barreled in and nearly knocked him over.
"Want us to," Hai started.
"Take it to Arthur?" Ai finished.
Yao looked at the two.
"Yeah, sure. If it keeps you two busy and not blowing stuff up," he said.
"Woohoo!" The twins cheered before high fiving each other.
The elder male handed the object to Hai.
"Make sure it doesn't get destroyed." Hai nodded and saluted.
"You can count on us big brother," Hai said.
Ai nodded and saluted as well, her panda on her other arm.
"We won't disappoint you," she said.
And off the two go.
"You better not disappoint me," Yao said under his breath.
He decided to check and see how his daughter was doing, so he went to the opium factory where she is.
"Hey Bao-Yu," he said when he saw her.
She looked at him and smiled.
"Hi baba," she said.
"Everything going ok?"
Bao-Yu nodded.
"Yeah. Should be able to start selling opium on the market soon."
A smile crossed Yao's face.
"Good, good," he said.
"Because the damn British keep buying a bunch of it. Seems they love this stuff."
A soft chuckle escaped the Chinese female.
"Of course they do. After all, it's opium."
"You have a point," Yao said with a wider smile.
"After all, they are opium bastards."
And then there were two Opium Wars.
