"Atractylodes macrocephala, astragalus, grass fruit, seed vine..."
Taking advantage of the dim light cast by the wall lamp in the public toilet, Chen Youcai carefully read this unnamed secret recipe several times.
There are seasoning ingredients and medicinal materials recorded on it.
Thanks to self-taught medical skills in his spare time, Chen Youcai managed to read all the ingredients of the secret recipe.
Only then did he settle down, got out of the public toilet, and walked quickly to the booth.
"Chen Youcai, did you secretly go to the bathroom to play with your phone?"
On the booth, Zhao Xiaolin and Zhang Dagui were sitting bored.
Seeing that the time came to 08:30 in the evening, Xiangji on the opposite side was full of people, and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
What about at home?
However, only one egg fried rice was sold, and it was a takeaway...
Seeing the refreshed Chen Youcai, Zhao Xiaolin pouted with a rather stern expression on her face.
"My old machine, what can I play?"
Chen Youcai's old face darkened, and he ignored the complaints of these dead girls.
He turned to Zhang Dagui and said, "Uncle Dagui, I need to go to the traditional Chinese medicine store, half an hour is enough."
"Is it to get medicine for your father?"
Zhang Dagui put down the account book in his hand, forced a smile, nodded and said: "Go, there are no customers coming anyway."
"Chen Youcai, don't forget, you still owe him a cup of milk tea!"
Zhao Xiaolin sat at the table with her chin resting on her head, staring at Chen Youcai, staring at him as a reminder.
"Okay, okay, I can't do without you."
Chen Youcai didn't say much, and with Zhang Dagui's permission, he took a deep look at the brightly lit Xiangji opposite, turned around and walked out of the food stall.
There are many mountains around Zhangjia Town, and the villagers often go to the mountains to dig medicines and sell them for money.
Therefore, in the town, there is also a large-scale Chinese medicine shop with a relatively complete range.
Although it is late at night, the Chinese medicine store is still full of people coming and going.
Those who fetch medicine, those who sell medicine, and even those who see a doctor.
"Hello, please help me grab some herbs according to this prescription."
Chen Youcai took out the cellophane in his pocket, unfolded it, and pushed it in front of the clerk behind the counter.
"Young man, where did you get this prescription? If it's an unproven earthen remedy, we wouldn't dare to give you any medicine."
The man was in his forties and had rich experience. He took a rough look at the cellophane, then raised his eyes and said seriously to Chen Youcai.
"This is my family's ancestral recipe. It's actually a seasoning formula, but it involves some Chinese herbs."
Chen Youcai explained with a smile, the man dispelled his doubts, turned around and began to grab medicines from the rows of medicine cabinets behind him.
"..."
The smile on Chen Youcai's face froze slightly when he went out with a small bag of ground medicinal materials.
Just a few tens of grams of small things cost him more than two hundred yuan!
I can't bear to let my children be tied to wolves, I can't bear to let my daughter-in-law... I can't bear to be tied to hooligans! !
Taking a deep breath, Chen Youcai walked quickly to the food stall.
As we approached the entrance, we saw several sleazy guys standing beside the booth of "Dagui Teppanyaki".
Is this... something happened?
Chen Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but move a little faster.
"Let's talk, my brother has a bad stomach from eating with you, what should I do?"
A Jiwotou wearing a suit jacket was squinting at Zhang Dagui, who looked tense, and he did not forget to look at Zhao Xiaolin frequently.
And behind him, stood two guys picking their teeth with toothpicks, talking and laughing, while looking around at the stall facilities.
"We lose money, we are willing to lose money..."
Zhang Dagui squeezed out a smile.
He pleaded to Jiwotou, "Brothers, we will pay for whatever medical expenses you need."
The so-called harmony makes money, and opening a shop to do business is naturally the most afraid of encountering this kind of fault-finding guy.
Being able to save money and eliminate disasters can be regarded as avoiding a catastrophe.
"Well, then just casually, give me 10 yuan for medical expenses."
Jiwotou obviously didn't expect Zhang Dagui to be so weak, he and his companion looked at each other in surprise, and then all laughed triumphantly.
"10 yuan! You, why don't you grab it!"
Zhao Xiaolin's face was livid with anger, and she pointed at a guy in a black jacket who was picking his teeth.
She said loudly: "He ordered fried rice with eggs just now, how could he spoil his stomach?"
"He looks like he has eaten his stomach!"
Jiwotou's eyes sparkled, he stroked his greasy hair, and grinned wretchedly.
"Little sister, don't meddle in other people's business, my brothers will treat you to Mala Tang later~"
"Let's find your mother to eat!"
There was a pun in the words, and Zhao Xiaolin scolded viciously with a look of disgust on her face.
Immediately, the expressions of the three of Jiwotou changed.
"Three big brothers, I really can't afford 10 yuan, can you have less?"
Zhang Dagui also gradually calmed down, and faintly sensed the real intention of the other party, and it seemed that he didn't want to extort money.
Sure enough, Jiwotou suppressed his anger, squinted his eyes, and pointed at the signboard of "Dagui Teppanyaki".
"Who said you don't have any money? I think your booth is worth at least one hundred and eighty thousand. Damn... what the hell, who the fuck is farting!!"
An indescribable pungent smell wafted from behind, and the faces of the three of them turned green.
Immediately yelling, jumping to avoid, hastily raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.
"Sorry, this is a Chinese herbal medicine, the taste is a bit strong."
Chen Youcai put the small paper bag in his hand on the counter, and then carefully looked at the people in front of him.
"How much money Xiangji gave you to come here to make trouble?"
He said coldly: "You said that your brother ate badly, that's fine, we'll report the case and go to the hospital for examination together."
Perhaps because they were afraid of the Yamen, the three of them in Jiwotou looked at each other, and then stared at Chen Youcai with unfriendly expressions.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Jiwotou scolded a few words, then narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Facai, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Mr. Zhang from Xiangji has taken a fancy to your stall."
"They are going to open the store here. If you are sensible, get out early, so we don't have to come here every day."
"..."
Seeing that the other party made the point clear, Chen Youcai couldn't help looking at Zhang Dagui.
"Okay, Zhang Xiangtai wants my booth, as long as he gives me 5 yuan for the booth rent, I, I will transfer it to him!"
Zhang Dagui seemed unwilling to offend Zhang Xiangtai, he struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, are you fucking stupid, or did you not understand what I said?"
Jiwotou sneered, and said in a strange way: "Boss Zhang means that you want to pack up and leave, and you still want money?"
"You guys are too much! I, even if I die, I will never give the booth to Zhang Xiangtai for nothing!"
The clay figurine was still angry, and Zhang Dagui couldn't help shouting with anger on his face when he was forced to this point.
You know, this stall is not cheap, the annual rent is more than 6.
Just transferring it out is enough to make Zhang Dagui feel distressed.
Not to mention, even the rest of the rent will not be returned!
This, isn't this driving people to a dead end? ?
"Okay, if you want to, then we can only play with you."
As if they had expected Zhang Dagui to have such a reaction, the three of them in Jiwotou giggled and occupied three small tables each.
They lay down in the wicker chairs, put their legs on the table, and started playing with their phones leisurely.
"Don't worry, we are law-abiding citizens. If we don't make trouble, we just like to sit like this. Is there any problem?"
No problem to blame!
If they do this, who would dare to come over to eat?
It was made clear that the business of the stall was completely ruined, and Zhang Dagui lost all his money.
"Uncle Dagui, Xiaolin, come here first, I have something to tell you."
Just when Zhang Dagui and Zhao Xiaolin were shocked and angry, they were gnashing their teeth.
After Chen Youcai walked to the counter, he beckoned to the two of them mysteriously.
