Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Chinese Medicine Practitioners
When Xu An rode a tricycle out of the street, he saw an old man carrying a stack of sugar gourds on the side of the road.
Xu An then remembered that he had promised Xu Kang and Xu Le that they wanted to buy the sugar gourd and stickers that they forgot to buy.
When Xu An was picking a sugar gourd, he suddenly saw a tall and thin figure passing by from the opposite side and walking into a room with a 'Chinese medicine' sign.
This figure seems to be a little uncle, what is he doing here?
"Old man, do you know what the house on the other side is for?"
The old man selling sugar gourds looked at the place Xu An was pointing, grinned at the mouth with only a few teeth left, and said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese medicine doctor in there, who specializes in treating infertility." The old Chinese medicine doctor has the ability and has a big temper, and only accepts guests introduced by acquaintances, and does not accept guests. ”
An old Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in infertility? It seems that my uncle did not give up the idea of having children, and began to believe in those folk remedies and ghosts.
The old man selling sugar gourds pulled Xu An for a night and motioned him to lower his head.
"I've heard that this old Chinese medicine doctor is terrible, and many infertile couples come to see each other and get pregnant shortly after. Amazing! ”
"Old man, have you heard of how he was treated?" Xu An always felt that there were not too many places, but he couldn't say why.
The old man shook his head: "If I knew, would I still need to sell sugar gourds here?" ”
Seeing that the old man didn't know the situation, Xu An didn't continue to ask, stood near the old man and looked at the other side, waiting for the little uncle to come out.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see my uncle come out. Xu Gan can't wait here all the time, he still has to go to the Bauhinia Garden construction site to pick up Xu Heping, otherwise he can't bring everything back with that bicycle alone.
Xu An could only pay for two strings of sugar gourds and put them in the foam box, and left in the direction of the Bauhinia Garden construction site.
Just ten minutes after Xu An left, the little uncle walked out of the house with a cheerful step humming a small tune with his hands behind his back, with a smug look on his face.
Xu Heping counted the remaining lunches on the stall: "One, two, three, four, five, it's been almost two hours since the stall came out, and there are still five of these thirty lunches left, and the sales are getting lower and lower." ”
Turning his head to look at the fried noodle stall next door, the five-yuan egg fried rice was selling very well.
Look at the row of fast-food restaurants opposite, in addition to the workers, there are a few nearby residents mixed in.
Only his own stall is extremely deserted.
'Why don't you move the stall to the other side?' ’
While Xu Heping was thinking, Xu An came back on a tricycle.
"Peace, how are you selling here?"
"It's not very good, 30 lunches are sold and there are still five left. I just heard Uncle Dongliang say that the food in the factory canteen is normal, and it is estimated that there are fewer people who are willing to come out to consume in the future. ”
"Those who are willing to come out to spend are currently being snatched up by the fast food restaurants opposite, and it should be better after their event." Xu An got out of the car to help clean up the stall, and they also asked a tractor to move the freezer, and it would be too late to delay any longer.
"Why don't you have three or five days, how is your business over there?"
"It's not bad, the fast food over there is mainly sold to the surrounding residents, and the price is higher. Our eight-dollar lunch box is very attractive to the workers, and maybe it will attract nearby residents or office workers in the future. ”
The owner of the fried noodle stall was suddenly a little moved when he heard this, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu An, and asked politely, "Where is the little brother setting up a stall now?" ”
"It's just a blind walk around the other construction sites." After prevaricating, the two left together.
'Phew! ’
The owner of the fried noodle stall spat on the ground, raised his foot and rubbed it, looking at the backs of the two with a little displeasure.
'Two, don't think I won't find it if you don't tell me. ’
When I arrived at the vegetable market, the tractor master was already waiting at the gate of the vegetable market. Xu An and Xu Heping hurriedly walked into the vegetable market and found Lao He's dry goods shop.
The sign of Lao He's dry goods store was taken down, and only an empty lintel remained. The shelves in the store were all moved, and only the freezer that Xu Anding had placed in the store was left.
The freezer can be seen to have been cleaned, and the bottom of the freezer was still a little dirty and watery when I came last time, but now it has been cleaned.
Xu An connected the power supply and debugged it, confirmed that there was no problem, said hello to Lao He, and lifted the freezer into the tractor compartment with the help of Xu Heping.
The carriage of the walk-behind tractor is large enough to fit in a freezer, and the tricycle and bicycle for two people are also installed. Xu An and Xu Heping squeezed into the seats in front of them with the tractor master, and drove in the direction of Xujia Village.
Halfway through the drive, the tractor driver received a phone call, and Xu An heard a few key words in the conversation.
'Having a child', 'Old Chinese Medicine', 'Introduction'
The combination of these key words reminded Xu An of the old Chinese medicine doctor opposite the construction site of the Haishi Library.
"Master, I just heard you call about the old Chinese medicine doctor, could it be the old Chinese medicine doctor opposite the construction site of the Haishi Library?"
The tractor master was stunned for a moment, looked Xu An up and down, and said in disbelief: "Isn't it, young man, you are only in your early twenties and are going to find an old Chinese medicine doctor for recuperation?" ”
......
"I asked for a relative, he has been married for seven or eight years and has no children, so if you don't hear this, I will help him pay attention to it." Xu An hurriedly explained.
"Oh." The tractor master came back to his senses: "That's right, it's absolutely no problem to go to this old Chinese medicine doctor." ”
"I've heard a lot of people say that he's good at treating infertility, but I haven't heard of anyone who has been treated there. Master, do you know someone who has been treated there? ”
"I don't know, it's right, the secret recipe of the old Chinese medicine uses a lot of scarce medicinal materials, and the yield is not high. If it spreads out, and there are many people who know about it, it will disturb his purity, and he will only cross the destined people. The tractor master's tone was full of pride.
"And how do you know so much?" Xu An asked.
"I have a relative, really a relative!" The tractor master emphasized it before continuing to say: "I have been married for more than three years and have no children, so I asked someone to find the old Chinese medicine doctor, and I saw it once a week, and after seeing it three or five times, I was really pregnant." The children are now three years old, and they are very lively and cute. ”
"Then do you know how this old Chinese medicine doctor treated patients when he was a child?" Xu An brought up the topic again.
"The treatment process is confidential, no one says it and no one knows about it. However, I know that the Chinese medicine that is accompanied by drinking is all precious medicinal materials, and they are very supplemented. ”
The reason why the old Chinese medicine doctor is so cautious is that this treatment is very likely to be invisible, and it may even be a way to break the law and commit crimes.
Of course, it is not excluded that there is another possibility, the old Chinese medicine doctor awakened the Guanyin system of sending children, and the task of the system is to let a thousand infertile couples have their own children.
The three chatted and soon returned to Xujia Village. The 'booming' sound of the tractor attracted many onlookers in the village.
After the freezer was settled, Xu An cleaned out the kitchen and called Xu Guoqiang's second uncle to come over to help connect the wires.
Move the freezer to the kitchen, plug it in, the roar of the engine when it is working sounds, and the freezer is working properly.
Xu An was very satisfied touching the freezer, starting tomorrow, he could buy the ingredients to be used the next day and bring them back when the stall was closed in the afternoon, and he didn't have to go to the town to buy ingredients in the morning.
"Anzi, are you planning to open a small shop at home?" Grandma Xu's first reaction when she saw the freezer was that Xu An wanted to open a small shop in the village.
"Milk, this is for your own use, not a commissary." Xu An looked confused and quickly explained.
"Then why buy a horizontal one, I haven't seen anyone use this style at home." Grandma Xu was puzzled.
"This one is old and cheap."
As soon as the word cheap came out, Grandma Xu no longer bothered with the problem of the horizontal and vertical of the freezer, and looked left and right at the freezer, the more satisfied she became.
But when she saw the power cord in the freezer, her heart fluttered. How much electricity does such a large freezer have to use at the end of the day!
In the evening, Xu An routinely took stock of today's income.
Xu Kang and Xu Le were playing on the side, and Xu Lede's little hand inadvertently slapped the account book in Xu An's hand away, and a neatly folded paper inside fell to the ground.
After teaching the two of them a lesson, Xu An picked up the notebook and paper that had fallen to the ground.
This is?
Xu An opened the folded paper, glanced at the information on it, and suddenly realized.
Come to think of it, isn't this the inspection report that my uncle threw in the trash can at the bus stop?
When I came back, I put it in my notebook and forgot about it.
It's useless, just throw it away. ’
Xu An was about to throw the paper into the trash can when his eyes suddenly fell on the corner that was torn off.
The name is torn off, but the address on the report is still there.
'Room 803, Building 3, Mingyue Bay, Wangcheng District, Haishi'
This is my sister-in-law's address!
There is only one male in my sister-in-law's family, so this inspection report is really my uncle's!
My uncle's hair is a little green.
