Chapter 881: Sarcasm
The next day, it was exactly fifteen.
There is a custom in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, you can not go out without going out, these two days are considered to be inauspicious days, and everything is unfavorable.
So the business of the Good Dream Hotel is very deserted, it has a leisure center on the second floor, there are foot washing, chess and cards, and billiards services, although it is not a very new thing, but in this lack of entertainment in the town, it is still highly sought after, usually always full of guests, but today it is so idle that the waiters are lying on the counter and dozing, and no one has seen a hair.
"It is said that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are superstitious, and it's true!" Li Yadong and his entourage came down from the upper floor, looking at the cold and deserted environment around them, Jiang Tengfei said curiously.
"It's not a superstition, it's just a local custom. Li Yadong accosted: "It's the same reason that many people in the capital are used to going to the temple to offer incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year." β
Jiang Tengfei pouted and said, "Anyway, I don't believe this, my fate is up to me." β
Li Yadong smiled, he didn't pick up the stubble, he used to think the same way, but now, he is somewhat convinced, and he is also full of awe of the gods and Buddhas.
Although feudal superstition is not credible, something similar to the metaphysics of feng shui, it should not hurt to believe in some appropriately.
His experience in this life is completely different from the previous life, he has met many rich people, and he has also discovered a problem, the richer the person, the more well-mixed people believe, the more they believe in these things.
Are they all stupid, without Jiang Tengfei, a flat-headed ordinary person who shouts "My life is up to me", and his brains are smart?
Naturally impossible.
He once read a book that introduced that great scientists such as Newton, Darwin, and Einstein all began to study the occult after they became famous in their later years, so the author boldly came to the conclusion that the end of science is theology.
Although from Li Yadong's understanding, the so-called "theology" here is certainly not the same as the theology in our ordinary people's concepts, it also contains some things that are incomprehensible to human beings and seem to be ethereal, so some people define them as "miracles".
His idea now is simple: it is better to believe what is there than not to believe it.
The customs of the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang naturally have little to do with Li Yadong, and they didn't want to abide by it, so after eating, they walked around the street, took a walk, and stayed in the hotel all the time to feel that people were moldy.
"Hey, don't miss it when you walk by, professional instruments measure physical health, one dollar per person each time. You can't buy a dollar at a loss, you can't be fooled, but you can predict a serious illness and turn evil into good fortune~"
didn't take a few steps, and suddenly there was a shouting sound in front of him, speaking Mandarin, so the eyes of Li Yadong and the others were instantly attracted.
It turned out to be a street vendor, except that he didn't sell products, but sold information.
On the long table in front of him, which was randomly bound with a few wooden boards, there was a boxy iron bump with a snowflake screen, a bit like a big butt computer, but the screen was smaller, the size of a palm, and it was surrounded by a circle of red, green, and green indicator lights.
In this town where the most advanced appliance is a refrigerator, such a thing suddenly appears, and it still feels quite high-end.
"What is it? can also detect physical health?" Jiang Tengfei said in surprise, and couldn't wait to walk over to witness the high technology.
Li Yadong looked suspicious, and always felt that this scene was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing it there for a while.
"Boss, can your machine really detect the body and predict serious diseases?" Jiang Tengfei came to the front of the stall, staring at the machine with his eyes, and asked in surprise.
There were also some people around himβalthough it was not advisable to go out on the 15th day, there were always some people who had to come out, such as the vendors who set up stalls next to him, who were still open as usual in order to make a living.
"That's!" the peddler with a mustache, a dark and thin appearance, and a thick northern accent, patted his chest and said: "Let me tell you this, boss, there are exceptions to everything, and the doctors in the hospital don't dare to say that they can see any disease, although my 'health measuring instrument' can't reach 100% accuracy, but at least it is more than seventy percent." If there is really any hidden disease in the body, and it is detected in advance by my machine, it is a fortunate thing? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't test it, you will lose a dollar. And what can you do for a dollar, you can't buy half a catty of pork. You're right?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Tengfei nodded again and again, and without saying a word, he began to rummage through his pockets.
It's not that he didn't bring money, but that a person like him, where would he carry a small ticket?
Usually eat a meal or something, a little change, and let the waiter collect it when you are in a good mood, and use it as a tip.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not easy to find, I can still find fifty zero. The peddler said kindly.
So, Jiang Tengfei sat down on the simple folding chair next to the long table.
The vendor began to pick up a "suction cup", made of rubber with a wire at the end, which was connected to the so-called "health meter".
While sticking the suction cup to Jiang Tengfei's body, he asked: "I haven't had any surgery in recent years, right? After the machine is started, there will be some current, which is not suitable for people who have just had surgery." β
"How is that possible?" Jiang Tengfei glanced at him angrily, "Do you think I look like someone who has had surgery?"
"Huh...... Not really. β
When the suction cups are attached, the vendor starts the machine.
"Yo, it works, Ma Man!" Jiang Tengfei laughed.
"That's it. The peddler was equally smiling brightly.
"Didi ......"
Suddenly, the machine alarmed.
"What's the situation?" Jiang Tengfei was shocked, "I can't be sick, right?"
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. The vendor smiled and explained, "Look, it's only one light on, and your body is generally fine." As for this lamp...... Boss, you should be a fierce smoker, right?"
"Can this be detected?" Jiang Tengfei is not worried but happy, he does not separate cigarettes and alcohol, smoking is indeed fierce, and he usually looks like three packs a day.
"Of course, this lamp corresponds to the lungs, and you have some minor problems with your lungs, which is not a big problem at the moment, but if it continues to develop in the long run, it is a bit troublesome. β
"That'...... What's the matter?" Jiang Tengfei stared at the beads of his eyes and asked seriously.
"Quit smoking. β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Tengfei said with a stupid face: "Forget it, let me be chic for a few years first, and then I will die of lung cancer, and if you can't enjoy it for a lifetime, what kind of life do you have?"
"Boss, don't be angry. The vendor laughed and said, "But if you really don't want to quit smoking, there is a compromise to reduce the harm caused by smoking." β
"Oh?" Jiang Tengfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked repeatedly, "What's the way?"
The peddler didn't speak, leaned down, rummaged through the black canvas bag under the table, and found an unlabeled bottle of medicine similar to that contained in the bottle of iodine.
Signaled: "Drink this, it can clear the poison and moisten the lungs, I deliberately asked for the secret recipe from the old Chinese medicine doctor at a high price, and it will work." β
"Do you still have this?"
"That's right, after all, there are a lot of smokers, and at least seven of the ten men I checked on this machine have lung problems, so I took some medicine in this area with the idea of solving the problems of the guests. β
"Yo, boss, then you are really a good person!" Jiang Tengfei didn't say a word, grabbed the medicine directly from his hand, and asked, "How much is a bottle?"
"It's not expensive, five dollars. β
"How many bottles will work?"
"Then it depends on the boss, do you want to treat the symptoms or the root cause?"
"How?"
"Three bottles to treat the symptoms, ten bottles to cure the root cause, and after drinking ten bottles, the lungs can produce some beneficial protective bacteria, and they will not be seriously ill for at least ten years. β
"Okay, then bring me ten bottles. Jiang Tengfei said, and was ready to pay for it, but ......
"Come on, your sister, come on!" Li Yadong raised his hand and slapped him on the head.
"What's wrong, Brother Dong?" Jiang Tengfei rubbed his head and raised his head for some reason.
"If you think it's too long, you drink. β
ββ¦β¦β
Before Jiang Tengfei could say anything, the peddler was not happy, looked at Li Yadong and asked, "Eh, this gentleman, what do you mean by this?"
Li Yadong glanced at him, where did he have the heart to argue with him, turned around and left.
Jiang Tengfei looked helpless, so he had no choice but to follow, but he looked back at the medicine in three steps.
"What kind of person, this is ...... I said, everyone, have you seen it, my machine is very accurate, who else wants to test?"
"I'm ......"
The stall was suddenly in chaos, and the townspeople who had witnessed the whole process just now were scrambling to take measurements.
'Is it ironic that a small town where almost everyone makes counterfeit medicines is fooled by a foreigner, and it is estimated that he will rush to buy other people's counterfeit medicines later?'
Li Yadong thought to himself.
As the old saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.
The grandson of the liar, met the ancestor of the liar.
