Chapter 8: Drinks should be postponed

Tommy Hawke returned to his lodgings, turned on the TV, made a cup of coffee, and then slowly ate the croissant left over from the morning with coffee, barely soothing his hungry stomach.

Providence Television is broadcasting dull and boring documentaries for thousands of years.

Providence TV is a member of the CBS television network, but it is only a franchise station, not a paid member station, which means that Providence TV can only broadcast two or three hours of wonderful programs produced by CBS during prime time every night, and the rest of the time the station can only find some other programs to broadcast on its own.

Of course, Tommy is not ready to watch American dramas, he just likes to have some sounds during the meal, so as not to make himself feel too lonely.

Now he has $415 and a batch of prescription drugs, enough for him to survive until the summer vacation, and as long as he finds a stable part-time job, he should save enough money to sign up for two cheap summer camp extracurricular activities.

As for the business of reselling doctor's certificates and prescription drugs, Tommy Hawke is not prepared to do it a second time.

Selling too many physician certificates would cause the university to be suspicious, and it would get him in big trouble if the university found an Asian American medical center in Boston, Massachusetts, that consistently issued medical certificates for white students in Providence, Rhode Island, when the university was compiling student data for the previous quarter.

Chen Furen sold to Asian American students, but there is no problem, because Asian American students can find excuses such as more trust in Asian American doctors, worry about not being able to explain their illness in English, and other excuses, how do Virginia white trash deal with inquiries? Because these white people prefer to trust the medical skills of people of color, they went to Boston to be treated by Asian American doctors?

As for prescription drugs, although in 1982, the "Prescription Drug Trafficking Act" in the United States had not yet been promulgated, it does not mean that prescription drugs are not regulated, these addictive drugs are controlled by the "Controlled Substances Act", and it is difficult for ordinary people to get them.

Now the "Prescription Drug Trafficking Act" in the United States has not yet been promulgated, and there is no specific response to the recall of expired prescription drugs and weak prescription drugs, so gang members and pharmaceutical factories and large chain pharmacies take advantage of the loopholes of the US federal government to get a large number of prescription drugs in the name of expired, weak and other unmarketable waste drugs, and sell them at high prices on the black market, and pharmaceutical factories are also happy to see it.

If the gang members knew that there was an extra guy in Providence to steal business with them without the police dealing with it, they would be able to volunteer to get rid of Tommy Hawke, the new drug dealer, for the city of Providence without asking for anything in return.

After enjoying bread and coffee, Tommy Hawke went back to his bedroom and began to review his homework, he is now studying AP courses, that is, college preparation, if you want to enter a first-class university in the United States, AP course grades are essential, Dogday's American high school, the course is divided into three difficulties, namely:

"Illiteracy difficulty, after completing the regular course except to get a high school diploma".

"After studying it, you will probably get an admission letter from a second- or third-rate university".

and the most difficult AP courses with "a minimum of five electives and an average score of five to hope for applying to a first-class university".

Even though Tommy Hawke has worked hard to take the core courses AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, Language and Writing, which he studied in his previous life and is better at, he is still not sure that he can get 5 points in each subject, because many of the economic models and theories he studied in his previous life have not yet been proposed, and the textbooks are completely different, and he needs to re-study, which is why he moved out and studied hard.

At six o'clock in the evening, when the sun had already set and there were only a few afterglows left in vain, Tony knocked on the door, two tequila and a few lemons in his hand.

"I thought you'd find a bar where I could go in and take me to the world." Seeing the tequila in Tony's hand, Tommy smiled and said out of the way.

Tony walked in with the wine, put it on the coffee table, and then sat down on the sofa with a slump of his ass: "You can't buy two bottles of high-end tequila for twenty-four dollars in the bar, but the supermarket can, I brought lemons, come on, we are going to drink them handsomely with salt dipped in salt like the actors in the commercial." ”

Tommy picked up the lemon and walked to the kitchen, sliced it and placed it on a plate, sprinkled some coarse salt on the side, and then walked back with the plate:

"The rest of the money went to Daddy?"

"Of course, he could just take fifty dollars as a lawyer's consultation fee to ask how to get Bessia home faster." Tony turned on the TV and said in his mouth.

Tommy took out two glasses, then opened a bottle of tequila and poured a quarter of the clear liquor into each glass: "There is only one way to bring back Bessia quickly, enough money." ”

With that, Tommy handed Tony a glass, and the two of them first dipped their fingers in some salt grains and put them in their mouths, then touched them, raised their heads and drank them, and then each picked up a slice of lemon and put it in their mouths to neutralize the spicy and choking taste of the wine.

"I made the right decision." After Tony finished his drink, he said with a bitter expression.

Tommy looked at Tony, "What? ”

"I asked Ashley to bring some pickled olives, butterfly shortbread, fried chicken and the stuff at the end of the day, and it was the first time I'd drunk something so expensive, it was so strong, just eating lemons and I was worried it would be hard to drink them all."

Ashley, Tony's girlfriend, is nineteen years old and now works as a clerk at a fried chicken restaurant.

"Didn't you always brag about going to the bars, strip clubs, and stuff like that in Providence when you were fifteen?"

"After paying the tickets, I only have enough money for the cheapest beer, bro, I certainly don't go to those places to drink." Tony laughed, picked up the bottle and looked at it: "This thing sells for two dollars a glass in a bar, you can buy a twenty-cent local beer and you can talk to a lady, blatantly admiring the big wave of the bar, why do it cost two dollars." ”

"It sucks, hearing about your pub past is the second worst thing I feel after work, Tony. Hi Tommy, long time no see. Ashley, with brown hair, a pink sports jacket, jeans, flat shoes, and a few freckles on her face, walked in from outside the door with two large boxes of food, and said to Tony with an unpredictable expression on her face:

"At fifteen, you knew how to strike up bars and pay for the women, but I remember you never bought me any gifts."

Tony replied with a wicked smile, "I buy the Trojan when I see you, every time, remember?" ”

"You're a bastard, Tony!" Ashley cursed with a smile and put the food on the coffee table.

"Hey, Ashley, would you like a drink?" Tommy asked, getting up.

Ashley nodded, "Of course, I'm going to stay and drink all the wine slowly, maybe Aunt Melonie can accompany me, but you and Tony's bastard obviously can't be handsome anymore." ”

“Why?” Tommy asked curiously as he handed the glass to Ashley.

Ashley took a sip of her glass, shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's what I'm going to say, the first bad thing that happened after work, I saw your dear daddy, Mr. Colin Hawke, being taken into a police car by the police outside the house of Attorney Joan Crane, boys, your drinks may be delayed." ”
