Chapter 31 Top Medicine
Qian Xun was stunned, Lu Zuixian's words hit the nail on the head, and it was a miracle that his body could support him on stage for half an hour. I was going to admit that I would let the Drunken Fairy sisters help sing first. In the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a sneer on Boss Mei's face, as if to say, "What you say sounds good, but in the end, you don't rely on women to help." ”
Qian Xun's face is elegant and delicate, but he is extremely strong in his bones, otherwise he would have been able to live a decent life in Shencheng Nanjing with his experience and ability over the years, but he insisted on running the dock, and there were some things that even Qian Dingzhang didn't know. At the moment, a wave of anger rushed to Tianlinggai, and one stepped in front of Boss Mei and raised his hand, "There is something I want to ask Boss Mei to help me fulfill." ”
The latter was sneering, and when he saw Qian Xunzhi walking in front of him with a blue face, he said politely, but his tone was arrogant and rude, and he wanted to put on a straight face and scold back, but when he looked up at Qian Xunzhi's eyes full of indifference, the anger in his stomach seemed to be dissipated by ice water, and he could only answer honestly, "As long as you don't miss the scene, everything is easy to say." ”
He Ruoxi was also taken aback by Qian Xunzhi's indifferent eyes that had never appeared, at this moment Qian Xunzhi was no longer the gentle, funny and cute middle-aged singer she was familiar with before, but became a person she had never seen before, although it was the same appearance and clothes, but there was a faint dead gray in those eyes.
Lu Zuixian looked at the-for-tat appearance of the two, felt uneasy in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to mediate, Qian Xunzhi spoke first, "I heard that Boss Qian has (A) hibiscus fetish, can you give me some top medicine." ”
As soon as this remark came out, several people were shocked, the so-called top medicine is a black word, referring to the residual ash produced after the burning of opium, because the combustion is not sufficient, these opium ashes still contain opium tincture. Many doctors or wild medicine sellers secretly use opium ash compounds, which can be said to cure chronic diseases such as cough and diarrhea that cannot be cured for a long time. Hence the name top medicine, which means top medicine. But this is a drug after all, and eating opium ash and smoking opium with a smoking gun are actually the same thing, but the former is in a lighter dose than the latter. For people who have never been exposed to drugs, a dose of opium ash can have a stimulant effect, and if you smoke opium directly, you will experience dizziness and other "drunken smoke" situations.
Seeing that Qian Xunzhi, who had always hated opium, gritted his teeth and wanted to take the medicine, several people suddenly panicked. Boss Mei hurriedly apologized, and Lu Zuixian also persuaded him bitterly, Qian Xunzhi was unmoved, but said coldly, "Hurry up, otherwise you will really miss the scene." ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Boss Mei had to shake his head and beckon a guy to come to his bedroom to get opium ashes.
Qian Xunzhi took the cigarette dish, picked up a small pile of cigarette ash with his hand, swallowed it without looking at it, and then picked up a cup of tea next to him, took a sip, and swallowed it all after gargling in his mouth. The gray complexion instantly returned to ruddy, but the look in his eyes was even colder, picked up the strings, and held his head high.
Today, although the entire bookstore is crowded into 400 people, no one dares to come over the seats in the front left row of the stage. That is the female guest seat, in the former Qing Dynasty or Beiyang period, women are not allowed to enter the bookstore to listen to books, after the establishment of the Republic of China government called for the change of customs and equality between men and women, so in order to attract business, the bookstore specially set up a field in front of the side to attract female guests.
Qian Xun was born as a talent, and most of the female guests who came to listen to the book were specifically to see him, which was somewhat similar to chasing idols in later generations. However, it is not enough to have a beautiful face, and if you don't have any effort in your hands, and if your mouth is not clean, it will still attract the sound of "hand towel" and "hand towel" like a tide. This is not a problem for Qian Xunzhi, with his artistic level, he can also be well-off in Shencheng, not to mention this little Shengze? Therefore, during this period of time, the female audience's evaluation of him was "unique in color and art", which was also laughed at in the town, and he had no choice but to shake his head.
After winning the praise, he also has self-knowledge, and every time he walks through the crowd and goes on stage to pass by the women's seat, he always smiles and nods, which causes the big girls and little daughters-in-law to whisper for a while, so they have the nickname of "Little Tang Yin". But today, he uncharacteristically had no words, just walked on the stage coldly, and the words of the female guests in private have changed: "Second sister-in-law, look, why is Mr. Qian different from usual today?" ”
"Yes, when you say it, I think it too, but I can't tell you what you asked me to talk about."
Hearing them talking, the old woman on the other side also came over and said, "I see the difference."
"Oh, Aunt Wang, tell me, why is Mr. Qian so weird today, as usual as if he has changed a person"
Aunt Wang said, "You are young and have seen little, Mr. Qian looks like this today, it is not like a storyteller on stage, but it is similar to a soldier's exercise?" ”
"Huh?"
"Ten years of the Northern Expedition, at that time, there were Guangdong soldiers training in Shengze, you were still young and were taken away by your parents, I had no choice but to stay here, so I often see those soldiers out of the exercise, you see that his back is straight, walking with the wind, the string is not held in front of his chest as usual but against the body and grasped, I tell you that this is what those student soldiers go out to drill and train."
"Oh, Aunt Wang can't see it, you were also a romantic back then, tell me about it, have a friendship with those soldier brothers?"
"You little girl is going to die, make fun of your aunt."
Lu Zuixian and He Ruoxi in the audience watched Qian Xunzhi sit in front of the bookcase with worried eyes, and the audience was a little confused. Qian Xunzhi said to the audience, "Everyone, the puppy has something to do today, so I can only lead the scene when my father comes, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing the abnormal flush on his face, Lu Zuixian glanced at Boss Mei fiercely, who also knew that he was not doing things beautifully, and just turned over and over again, "I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean to force him." ”
Lu Zuixian unceremoniously interrupted, "In the afternoon, you secretly wanted to lower their signing money, and now this time he has taken top medicine to play, I think your bookstore will be very famous in the future!" ”
Boss Mei was frightened when she heard it, and the meaning of Lu Zuixian's words was very clear, and when she returned to Shencheng, she would publicize the "feat" of Mei Li Bookstore in the same industry. The words that come out of the mouth of such a big horn as her are full of weight, who will dare to come here to perform in the future? In fact, there is no unity in the danci class, Suzhou Guangyu Society, Shanghai Puyu Society, and Runyu Society look down on each other, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, but this kind of thing related to the artist's own interests is only afraid that once it spreads, all the danyu artists will stand on the same front. It's okay to lower the price, but this forced the patient to take the top medicine and come to power, and this is really unprecedented and appalling. When the time comes, there will be no other way out for this bookstore than to close it.
Boss Mei almost knelt down for Lu Zuixian at that time, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I really didn't mean that, you can say in good conscience, your sister, after their father and son come to my bookstore, what will I do to you?" There is no less money for the sign, and all kinds of gifts and specialties are also sent from time to time, and they are even more polite to a few. It's my fault for this thing today, and I blame my mouth, but you can also see it, there are more than 400 people in this scene today, and the little money is inexplicably gone, I can't let you sing for 4 hours in a row, if you are me, what should you do" said the back of his right hand and kept tapping the palm of his left hand, and his face looked like he was about to cry.
================================================
The top medicine is the incision in the south, and the lip point in the north is called sea fruit. As long as the medicine they bought claimed to be able to treat chronic cough and chronic diarrhea, it contained 100% opium, and it could be effective when taking one pill at the beginning, and it would increase to two pills after a few days. What's worse is that these stay in one place for only a few days, and after they leave, the patient's condition relapses and worsens, and it is too late to send them to the hospital. Therefore, it is especially hateful, and it is okay to make money, but not to kill people.
By the way, this routine now has a tendency to resurge, but the form has changed. It is no longer a pill for coughing, but a topical liquid for treating various bruises and muscle strain. You can try it on the spot, and rubbing it can really relieve the pain, and it can be said that the effect is immediate.
But in fact, there are a lot of steroids in it, and the use of this thing is strictly restricted in the world, and the consequences of abuse are very serious, and this thing will destroy the secretion of male hormones!!
So, if you see something like this, call 110.
One more reminder, if you have a problem going to a regular hospital, don't buy all kinds of stall drugs, or miracle drugs recommended by the circle of friends, which are more reliable than Putian Hospital.
