Do you have any digestive aids?
"Yes, is it for adults or children?"
"For dogs to eat."
"Eat it like a dog?!"
“My baby won’t eat any food tonight, he’s only been drinking water. I suspect he ate something really bloated this afternoon, so I’m thinking of buying him some digestive tablets to try.”
"I don't have any medicine specifically for dogs here..."
"Then give me a box of digestive tablets, the better kind, my baby is only a little over a week old."
"Jiangnan brand digestive tablets are the best."
"Traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Of course, this digestive aid tablet is a food-medicine homology product. Its main ingredients include ginseng, dried tangerine peel, yam, roasted malt, and hawthorn. It's safe, has no toxic side effects, works quickly, and tastes pretty good too," the salesperson explained earnestly.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy this one." Wang Dazhuang's mother quickly took out her money, wishing she could feed one to her dog right now.
Seriously, my dog, who always eats a big bowl of food for dinner, didn't finish his food tonight. How can I not worry?
Cash on delivery.
Once he got the medicine, he immediately opened it.
"Take your medicine."
Wang Dazhuang's mother, with a fawning expression, handed a flat "pill" to the dog.
"Woof woof woof woof!" (Translation: I don't want to take my medicine!)
The dog resisted strongly and turned its head away.
"Take your medicine."
"Woof woof woof woof!" (Translation: I don't want to take my medicine!)
"Eat each one."
"Woof woof" (Translation: I won't eat!)
"eat!"
"Woof~~~~"
Clearly, after its strong protests failed, the dog resorted to appealing to sympathy.
Wang Dazhuang's mother softened immediately.
Or maybe we could try crushing it and putting it in water? If that doesn't work, we could just hold its mouth shut and force-feed it.
Just as she was thinking this, she turned around and bumped into Li Lechen as he entered.
"Hello, Aunt Sun." Li Lechen greeted her politely.
"Woof woof woof!"
Wang Dazhuang's dog was obviously more excited. It swept away its previous gloomy mood, quickly broke free from its embrace, and jumped down, wagging its tail around Li Lechen.
In the dog's eyes, the handsome older brother gave him a delicious meatball in the afternoon, and then he was full of energy and not hungry at all, which was amazing.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dazhuang's mother immediately sprang to attention and stepped forward, saying, "Le Chen, can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
"My baby seems to have some indigestion; it didn't eat anything tonight. I'm thinking of giving it some digestive tablets..."
"Not even a bite?"
Li Lechen was startled, realizing that this was definitely the effect of the satiety pills, and immediately felt sorry for Aunt Sun.
Although he's a dog, in Aunt Sun's eyes he's like her son. Naturally, a mother feels sorry for her son when he doesn't eat dinner.
No wonder, coming out to buy "medicine" so late at night.
Unfortunately, this satiety pill can last for a year, which means that Aunt Sun's son can go a year without eating.
Although Li Lechen's question was a bit strange, Wang Dazhuang's mother didn't think much of it. After nodding in agreement, she continued to make her request: "I think it's quite familiar with you. Could you help Auntie feed it the 'medicine'?"
"this......"
Li Lechen awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, he couldn't refuse Wang Dazhuang's mother's simple request, especially since Li Lechen still felt a little guilty about it.
So he took the pill and started coaxing the dog: "Eat it, it tastes pretty good."
Because of the pill given in the evening, Wang Dazhuang's dog, though not hungry at all, did not reject what Li Lechen fed it. It stuck out its tongue and almost willingly ate the digestive tablet in his hand.
"Do you want me to feed you again?" Li Lechen asked, looking up.
"Do you want to feed him again?" Wang Dazhuang's mother asked the salesperson.
"The label says half a pill for children under three years old, and one pill for children over three years old..."
"Why didn't you come earlier?!" Wang Dazhuang's mother immediately exclaimed anxiously, "My baby is only a little over a year old!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she had an expression that said she was worried that her dog had taken too much medicine and was about to die.
Li Lechen quickly reassured her, "Auntie, a dog's one-year-old is roughly equivalent to a human's seven or eight-year-old, so the dosage is fine."
"Yeah?"
"Yes!"
Li Lechen nodded emphatically.
Besides, what's wrong with eating a little more of these things like ginseng, dried tangerine peel, yam, roasted malt, and hawthorn? It's just a dog, it's not worth worrying about.
Li Lechen was secretly pleased. Forget about the "medicine," this dog had eaten a whole satiety pill, and so far it only had the same effect as a person who had taken it—it just didn't feel hungry.
It's a pity I don't know many dogs in the area, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about what to do with the meatballs I got from the red envelopes.
"Woof woof woof!"
Suddenly, the dog barked happily twice.
Wang Dazhuang's mother recognized that voice all too well; it was clearly someone begging for food.
It seems that these Jiangnan brand digestive tablets really work fast. So I stopped worrying about the dosage, picked up the dog, and prepared to go home to make it a good meal.
Before leaving, Wang Dazhuang's mother thanked Li Lechen again and entrusted him with an important task: "Lechen, you are such a good child. You should take care of our Dazhuang more often. Whatever you see, make him see it too. I'm begging you here."
Afterwards, Li Lechen also bought a box of Jiangnan brand digestive tablets, but it was the adult version, which was much cheaper than the children's version.
