After having dinner at home, Jia Dongsheng came to Chen’s Silk Shop.
Chen Xueru was still not in the store, but went to the tavern.
Jia Dongsheng was a little hesitant. Should he still go?
I won’t get drunk again today, will I?
"If you still want to force me to drink, then I will pretend to be drunk so that I won't be unconscious and feel nothing at all."
Jia Dongsheng secretly made up his mind, and then walked into the tavern resolutely.
"Dongsheng is here."
Xu Huizhen, with a bright face and a gorgeous look like a flower that had just bloomed, greeted Jia Dongsheng with a smile.
There was no embarrassment, no guilt, no evasion, only a passion even stronger than usual, which made Jia Dongsheng a little overwhelmed.
"Was everything that happened last night just a dream?"
Jia Dongsheng was confused. Could those fragments that flashed through his mind really be a dream?
But then, seeing Xu Huizhen walking over with a limp, Jia Dongsheng's gaze changed. She seemed very similar to Chen Xueru back then!
"Sister Huizhen, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Dongsheng came forward, holding Xu Huizhen's arm with a look of concern on his face.
"It's okay. I just twisted my leg accidentally while working."
At this moment, a hint of barely perceptible... shyness flashed across Xu Huizhen's eyes.
There was no way. I had been hungry for too long, and when I finally had a meal, of course I had to eat until I was full, and then I really ate too much.
I lay on the kang for a short while today, and only came out at night when I had to get busy. But even so, I still walked with a limp.
"Are you really okay? Do you want me to help you go inside and sit for a while?"
Jia Dongsheng still showed great concern, but the playful look in his eyes was exposed to Xu Huizhen's eyes without any concealment.
"No, it's not serious. I have to be busy."
Xu Huizhen understood very well that Jia Dongsheng was teasing her. She was so angry that she secretly twisted the soft flesh on Jia Dongsheng's waist.
"hiss!"
Jia Dongsheng almost cried out in pain, but he quickly suppressed it. "Sister Huizhen, is there any more of that aged wine I drank last night?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Huizhen's face turned even redder. She seemed to have heard the hint in Jia Dongsheng's words. If last night had not been so crazy, Xu Huizhen really planned to continue having a big meal tonight.
But now he was overwhelmed and could only reluctantly refuse: "I still have some aged wine, but don't drink it today. It's too strong and it's easy to get drunk. You were drunk and unconscious last night."
"Oh, all right then."
Jia Dongsheng nodded obediently, and then said: "Then bring me a pot of small wine, I will go and have a drink with Sister Xueru."
"Go ahead."
Xu Huizhen breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Jia Dongsheng would ignore her and want to drink some aged wine again. If that happened, she would probably have to find someone to help her.
After the two finished talking, Jia Dongsheng walked towards Chen Xueru. At this time, Chen Xueru had already noticed Jia Dongsheng coming in, and saw him whispering a lot with Xu Huizhen, his eyes full of deep meaning.
"Sister Xueru, what are you thinking about?"
Sitting next to Chen Xueru, Jia Dongsheng chuckled.
"I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just thinking about how loud your snoring was last night."
Well, no need to say more, this is definitely a joke. Jia Dongsheng maintained a calm expression: "I guess he drank too much, so the snoring is so loud. It won't happen tonight. I have to take good care of Sister Xueru tonight."
"Go, I don't need your care."
Of course Chen Xueru understood that the "care" Jia Dongsheng mentioned was definitely not that kind of care, but a very ambiguous verb.
Although the two had become very familiar with each other after communicating for these days, they still could not accept Jia Dongsheng's meaningful ridicule in public.
"hey-hey."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said nothing more. Not long after, Xu Huizhen brought the wine over: "Xueru, Dongsheng, you guys drink first. I'll come and have a drink with you after I'm done."
"Okay, Sister Huizhen, you go ahead and do your work first." Jia Dongsheng replied.
"Well, get busy, Huizhen."
After in-depth communication with Jia Dongsheng, the situation between Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen was much relieved.
From the initial competitive relationship where no one was willing to give in to the other, they have become true close friends, and can talk about anything.
Maybe it was because he drank too much yesterday, so he felt it was hard to swallow the wine today. Jia Dongsheng took two sips and put it down. He ate two bites of side dishes and listened to other people chatting.
At this time, a man came in from outside the tavern, took a quick look around, and immediately walked towards Jia Dongsheng.
"Brother Dongsheng."
Jia Dongsheng looked over and saw that it was Mr. Pian. He smiled and said, "Mr. Pian, come and sit down. Let's have a drink."
"Oh my brother Dongsheng, how can I have the heart to drink now?"
As soon as Tian Ye sat down, he immediately said, "Do you have any more of that medicine? Give me thirty more."
"No, Mr. Pian, you just bought ten yesterday. This thing has a shelf life of three months. After three months, it's useless. Why do you need so many?"
"Brother Dongsheng, I won't hide it from you. I've bought this medicine from an old Chinese doctor before and know its effects, so I plan to do business with this medicine from now on."
Pian Ye showed a mercenary smile: "I took this medicine to sell today. Hey, it's very popular. Someone just tried one and immediately bought the remaining nine. He also asked me to order 20 pills."
"This is only one month's supply. I'm thinking of giving these 20 pills to someone, and then taking 10 and selling them to other people. I'm sure they'll still sell."
After listening to Pian Ye's words, Jia Dongsheng was really shocked. This guy was really smart, but Jia Dongsheng didn't care. He could make nine yuan by selling one pill of this medicine. The more he sold, the more he would earn.
But Jia Dongsheng was quite curious about who the doctor sold the medicine to. A person can only take ten pills a month. Who is so generous as to buy thirty pills at one time? Taking one pill a day would definitely lead to poisoning.
"Mr. Pian, you have taken this medicine before, so you should understand that you can only take ten pills a month. How can you sell thirty pills to one person? The body cannot withstand one pill a day." Jia Dongsheng reminded solemnly.
"Hey, brother Dongsheng, don't think too much. The person I sell is not a man." Pian Ye looked at Jia Dongsheng's expression, realized that Jia Dongsheng had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"It's not a man, it's a woman. Women can't take this medicine." Jia Dongsheng rolled his eyes.
"Of course I know women can't take this medicine, but women can give it to men!"
Pian Ye smiled mysteriously: "Brother Dongsheng, you don't understand, I sold this medicine to the people in Bankaimen. Their men are different every day, so it doesn't matter even if they take it every day."
In an instant, Jia Dongsheng understood, and then thought that this guy was really powerful and had given him an idea of a way to make money.
