Chapter 6



As soon as Lu Chuanbei opened the medicine bottle, he smelled a strong aroma of sesame and beans. After taking a closer look, he could also smell the aroma of wolfberry and mulberry. "It really is the Five Black Pills?"

"Of course." Song Tiantian was very proud now: "Am I really awesome?"

"Yes, our Tiantian is really amazing." Lu Chuanbei said, and then poured out a pill the size of a black bean and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking.

As soon as the pill enters the mouth, the sweet but not greasy honey dissolves, followed by the fragrant and thick sesame seeds, the granular texture mixed with the black beans, and the unique sweetness of mulberries, and the sweet taste of wolfberries with a sour aftertaste.

Coupled with the taste that becomes more fragrant the more you chew it, Lu Chuanbei feels like he is eating a dessert: "This five-black pill tastes really good."

As he spoke, he poured out another one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Song Tiantian, who had made the pills but hadn't had time to taste them herself, quickly leaned over from Grandpa Song's arms and went towards Lu Chuanbei: "Dad, dad, can you give me one too?"

"Come." Lu Chuanbei poured out a pill and handed it to Song Tiantian.

Song Tiantian immediately stuffed it into her mouth. As soon as she ate it, her eyes lit up immediately: "Delicious, this pill tastes better than candy."

"Really?" Grandpa Song was a little skeptical: "Give me one to try."

"Hmm." Lu Chuanbei said, and casually poured out two more pills, handing one to Grandpa Song and one to Grandma Song: "Mom, you should try it too, Tiantian's medicine is really good."

When Song Tiantian was frying black beans, Grandma Song wanted to try it, so she took the five-black pills and started eating without saying a word.

After eating, Grandma Song said to Grandpa Song, "Old Song, when you buy some black beans tomorrow, leave some for us to make soy milk."

"Hmm," Grandpa Song nodded as he tasted the pill in his mouth. "The black beans and sesame seeds are both good this time. I'll save some for later."

At this time, Grandpa Song and others still thought that it was medicinal ingredients that were used to make such delicious Five Black Pills.

That afternoon, Lao Zhang came to the Chinese medicine store just as it was about to close. As soon as he came in, he looked around. When he saw that there was only Grandpa Song and a few shop assistants packing up and getting ready to go off work, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

"Old Song, have you prepared everything I told you to do this morning?"

"It's all ready. I'll wrap it up for you."

"Hey," Old Zhang said, glancing around a few times before turning to Grandpa Song and asking, "Old Song, is that medicine you prescribed really effective for treating hair loss?"

"It's definitely effective," Grandpa Song said, "but if you want to completely cure this hair loss problem, you still need to have someone come and see you in person, and then adjust your work schedule."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang, who was still trying to deceive himself, gave up: "I know, but you also know that my Yunpeng is studying IT."

"Also, I heard that his industry relies on youth. If he doesn't work hard now and get promoted early, he'll have to retire when he gets older and his energy can't keep up. Otherwise, he wouldn't work so hard."

"However, I also told him to come and have a look when he is free in a few days."

"Okay, the medicine has been prescribed for you anyway. Take it back and give it to him first. I'll take a look at it again when he comes." Grandpa Song said as he took out the two bottles of medicine prepared by Lu Beichuan.

At this moment, someone outside shouted into the Chinese medicine store, "Is anyone there?"

"Yes." Grandpa Song responded and said to Lao Zhang, "Take this medicine home and take one pill each morning and evening. Also, remember to store it in the refrigerator after taking it."

As he was speaking, several people came in and said to Grandpa Song nervously, "Doctor Song, please take a look at my mother. She suddenly broke out in cold sweats and felt dizzy."

"Let me take a look." After saying that, Grandpa Song walked towards the people.

Xiao Li, a clerk who was about to leave work, took the two bottles of pills that Grandpa Song had just taken out and said to Lao Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, I'll write you a prescription for this medicine."

"Yeah." Lao Zhang responded and walked towards the cashier at the front desk with Xiao Li.

When Xiao Li was writing him a prescription, Lao Zhang suddenly saw a medicine bottle that was placed there before the adoption.

When Lao Zhang saw this, he immediately thought of the morning when he went out to the street and chatted with his old neighbor. He heard her say that she bought some high-quality black beans at a Chinese medicine store and planned to use them to make vinegar-soaked black beans.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang, the health expert, immediately took the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "Xiao Li, please give me this can of black beans as well."

"Black beans?" Xiao Li looked up at Lao Zhang with some confusion: "We sold out all the black beans in our store this morning."

"Isn't this just black beans?" Lao Zhang picked up the medicine bottle in front of the computer and shook it at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, "This..."

"Stop talking about this and that, just give me these black beans." Lao Zhang said, and took the initiative to pour the black beans in the medicine bottle onto the scale on the counter. "Here, there's less than 150 grams in total, just write it down for me."

Xiao Li scratched his head, a little confused as to why there were still black beans left.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up." Under Lao Zhang's urging, Xiao Li didn't think much about it: "Okay, I'll open this one for you too."

"That's right." Lao Zhang packed up the black beans on the scale with satisfaction, picked them up together with the two medicine bottles packaged by Xiao Li, swiped the money and left with satisfaction.

Grandpa Song was giving a few injections to an old lady who had suffered from heatstroke. When he turned around, he saw Old Zhang leaving with a bag. After he had taken care of the old lady and prescribed some medicine to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, he was about to close the shop and go home when he realized that the Five Black Pills that he had placed at the cash register were missing!

Upon noticing this, Grandpa Song immediately looked towards Xiao Li, who was about to leave work, and asked, "Xiao Li, where are the Wuhei pills I left?"

"Five Black Pills?" Xiao Li was stunned: "I don't see any Five Black Pills."

"Then how could it be gone?" Grandpa Song said, a little doubtful: "I remember I just put it on the cash register."

"But I remember there was only a bottle of black beans on the cash register, and nothing else." Xiao Li didn't notice anything wrong at this time.

But Grandpa Song immediately realized it when he heard it: "That's it, the bottle contains either black beans or Wuhei pills."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately felt unwell.

Grandpa Song looked at Xiao Li's stiff appearance and quickly asked, "What happened? Where did you put the medicine?"

"I, I..." Xiao Li hesitated for a long time before saying, "I sold the contents of the bottle to Uncle Zhang as black beans."

"You, why are you so careless in doing things!" Grandpa Song was really disappointed with him.

"I, I didn't mean it. I really thought it was black beans." Xiao Li was still explaining.

Grandpa Song sighed: "You, if you continue with this attitude, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

"I just bought the Wuhei pills instead of black beans. Why make such a big deal out of it?" Xiao Li was still a little unconvinced.

Grandpa Song shook his head and said, "You should go back today and come back to work after you figure out where you went wrong."

Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately became unhappy: "It's really just a small, shabby clinic that's about to go bankrupt."

"You really take yourself so seriously." Xiao Li said as he took off his white coat and threw it on the ground. "You told me to figure it out before coming back. Bah, I don't want to come back to this place anymore."

Grandpa Song looked at Xiao Li who threw his clothes and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh, and was about to bend down to pick up the clothes.

Lu Chuanbei, who had just come over and seen this scene, quickly picked up his clothes and asked Grandpa Song, "Dad, what happened?"

"Xiao Li mistakenly sold the five-black pills made by Tianbao to Lao Zhang instead of black beans. I said a few words to him, but he was not happy about it, so he just let it go." Grandpa Song said, and took out his mobile phone to call Lao Zhang.

The phone beeped a few times, and as soon as it was connected, Grandpa Song said to Lao Zhang, "Hello, Lao Zhang, it's me, Lao Song."

"Old Song, why are you calling me?" Old Zhang said in surprise.

"It's like this. Xiao Li from my store just now bought you Wuhei Pills instead of black beans. You can take them back or I'll refund them for you." Grandpa Song explained.

"What?" Old Zhang stood up from his chair in surprise: "Five Black Pills?"

"Yes, these are nourishing and hair growth pills. My son Tianbao made them for himself. Please see when you can bring them back to me. Otherwise, I can come to you and get them." Grandpa Song said as he prepared to go out.

But Lao Zhang refused to give it. When he heard that the Five Black Pills were also used for hair growth, he was unwilling to return them.

Besides...

Old Zhang recalled the time when he ran into Zhang Yunpeng, who had just returned home and was about to leave, and quickly stuffed the medicine and the bag into Zhang Yunpeng's hands. He hurriedly said to Grandpa Song, "Old Song, there's no need to return this medicine."

"Ah?" Grandpa Song paused.

Lao Zhang quickly explained, "I just ran into Yunpeng when I came back. I gave him all the pills and the other medicine you prescribed for me."

"Besides, yours is also a hair growth food, so it won't conflict with him eating it."

"There's no conflict, but..." Grandpa Song was about to say something when Old Zhang quickly hung up the phone. "That's fine as long as there's no conflict. Anyway, I've already given the medicine to Yunpeng. That's it for now. My wife is calling me for dinner, so I'm hanging up now."

Grandpa Song looked at the hung-up call and felt a little uneasy: "Hang up just like that?"

Lu Chuanbei said: "What's wrong?"

"Old Zhang has already given the medicine to Yunpeng."

"What?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yunpeng, who had just returned home and was called back to work overtime to fix a bug, hurried to the office carrying a bag of medicine...
