【What kind of thing is this that people drink?】Chuanwen asked curiously. She only knew that her sister Yu's terrible cooking could make people have regular bowel movements, but it seemed that Er Gou's was even better, and only half a cup of water was enough to make him have bowel movements!
The messenger went to investigate what kind of water it was, and the officials present who were also puzzled listened intently.
Honey, fresh potato juice, milk and prune juice obtained from the merchants from the Central Plains, konjac, coptis chinensis...
Up to this point, the materials are all normal, but... [horse urine???]
Chuanwen almost suspected that Er Gou had watched Journey to the West, but what puzzled him even more was, "Why would Er Gou want to develop this thing? Is he constipated?"
With Er Gou's handsome face and the expression of someone constipated, Chuan Wen felt like the sky was falling just imagining the scene!
It's like when your idol's image collapses – a bolt from the blue!
Although Chuanwen didn't voice any more thoughts, his eerie silence made everyone feel quite strange. It's just constipation, why does it seem like such an unacceptable thing?
And those constipated officials who were eagerly awaiting the formula for that miraculous potion: ...
They can understand adding Coptis chinensis, but why add horse urine? What are the effects of horse urine?
Actually, as long as it can cure constipation, horse urine... isn't unacceptable!
One of the officials hadn't been able to defecate for three days. That feeling of having something in your stomach but being unable to unload it was really uncomfortable. Besides, he had already eaten turtle droppings, so what was there to be unable to accept about horse urine!
After learning the secret recipe, he couldn't sit still any longer. He quietly got up and left. He had to hurry back to get that magical potion out of his stomach. He couldn't wait a moment longer!
But unloading the cargo was the priority, and so was the gossip. Before leaving, he told Huang Wang, who was sitting at the same table, "Brother Huang, I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow, you have to come!"
Huang Wang knew that he was suffering from constipation and that he must be anxious to get back and make that magical potion, so he nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely keep my appointment tomorrow!"
Brother Zhao's thoughts are easy to guess; he just wants to know what's coming next, and he'll definitely share it with Brother Zhao!
After watching Brother Zhao leave, I continued eating my melon.
The message had now reached the point where Er Gou had developed this thing, and he instantly felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. [So it was for someone else...]
I breathed a long sigh of relief; my idol is safe!
After Er Gou arrived in the capital, he often bought books and became acquainted with the bookstore owner. However, the bookstore owner, a chubby fellow, was a snob. If Er Gou was dressed in fine silks and satins, he would fawn over him, but if he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he would ignore him and sometimes make sarcastic remarks. Er Gou, who was dressed simply, was naturally ridiculed by the chubby fellow.
Er Gou helped that chubby boy with constipation develop this one-size-fits-all medicine!
Adding Coptis chinensis (Huanglian) is meant to make it so bitter the chubby boy can't open his mouth; adding horse urine is purely to disgust him! Neither Coptis chinensis nor horse urine are actually very effective for treating constipation...
However, the chubby boy was overjoyed after his constipation was cured and insisted on thanking Er Gou. He promised Er Gou a lifetime 20% discount on any books Er Gou bought, except that he would gag every time he said thank you, hahaha!
The message gave Er Gou a thumbs up, saying, "So the name Er Gou isn't just for show; when it comes to dogs, Er Gou is the real deal!"
Huang Wang: ......
Looking in the direction Brother Zhao left, he was long gone.
The people at the table looked at each other and fell silent. So sometimes you can't be too hasty. You have to let people finish speaking, especially when it comes to Chuanwen!
Zheng Yan, who was with Chuanwen, was also speechless. He had gained a preliminary understanding of Er Gou and felt that Er Gou was similar to Chuanwen. They were both the kind of people who could give people surprises, but these surprises were often mixed with various shocks!
Er Gou not only cured the old man's constipation, but also cured the others' acclimatization problems. The group began to admire Er Gou, but what truly made them worship him as a god was...
What is it?
Everyone, including Zheng Yan, became curious. Even Wu Simian, who had just left the tavern covered in cold sweat, couldn't help but focus his attention.
[This is Er Gou's analysis of Xiao Liang Kingdom's policies and its future development plan...]
Chuanwen didn't quite understand the policies, reforms, and situation, but the old man and the others listened with increasingly bright eyes, especially when Er Gou mentioned that there might be wild men in the mountains and they needed to be on guard. They looked at this elegant young man, as refined as bamboo yet as radiant as the sun, as if he were a god.
Upon seeing this, Chuanwen suddenly remembered a piece of gossip she had come across about the Kingdom of Xiao Liang before. It seemed that a group of savages had emerged in the Kingdom of Xiao Liang, and they had suffered greatly at their hands.
After carefully reading through the text, Chuanwen couldn't hold back anymore: "Hahaha! After the savages appeared, the men of Little Liang Kingdom can't even find wives! Hahaha!"
The officials, who were snacking on melon seeds, were stunned. They knew a little about the affairs of the Little Liang Kingdom. Those savages were stealing their grain and livestock, which was bad enough, but they were even stealing their wives and children! This had caused their families to be destroyed and their lives to be lost. That's why they were begging their emperor to send troops to suppress them!
But this is a sad story, so why is Chuanwen laughing so happily? Can't she have a little sympathy?
The savages swarmed down, howling, to steal their food and livestock, but the men of the usually fierce Liang Kingdom became mere chickens in their presence, suffering a truly miserable defeat!
【Then......】
Then?
[Then the women of Xiaoliang were conquered by the savages' strength and muscles. Without them even needing to take them, they ran into the mountains on their own. Some even brought their livestock and food, and some, fearing their children wouldn't fare well with their weak fathers, brought their children along too! Hahahaha!]
