Chapter 681

~7 min read 1,330 words

Hearing Fang Xiue's words, Wang An couldn't help but look happy. Actually, Wang An only asked with a try-it-and-see attitude; after all, "scar removal" is a difficult thing at any time.

But unexpectedly, Fang Xiue really had such a prescription.

Fang Xiue thought for a moment and then said again:

"I remember it's an external medicine. It's especially itchy after applying it, an itch that ordinary people can't stand, but you can't scratch it."

Speaking of this, Fang Xiue asked with a face full of doubt:

"Can your two younger brothers stand it?"

Fang Xiue's words directly stumped Wang An. The key is that this kind of thing that relies on willpower, who can answer for others?

Wang An blinked his eyes and said very uncertainly:

"Should... be able to..."

But immediately after, Wang An said very decisively:

"Even if they can't, they have to. If they can't, then just let them stay ugly."

Fang Xiue looked at Wang An's rogue look and almost laughed out loud.

Immediately after, Wang An whispered to Fang Xiue:

"I'll go to your place and wait for you after I get the medicine. By the way, where is your sister? She won't be at home, right?"

When saying the last sentence, Wang An's face was full of surprise, clearly afraid that Fang Xiue was at home now.

Mainly because if she were at home, it would delay Wang An from "daytime showing off" with Fang Xiue.

Although Fang Xiue had always wanted to join in and "show off" together, both Fang Xiue and Wang An couldn't accept it.

Fang Xiue wanted Fang Xiue to find a normal man to marry, while Wang An felt that if he took both sisters, he would break the bottom line of being a human.

Most importantly, this would be taking advantage of someone's precarious situation, or rather, not treating the sisters as human beings.

Fang Xiue looked at Wang An's expression, which seemed quite satisfied, and said softly:

"She is in the duty room at noon now."

Wang An nodded with relief, then stood up, looked at the prescription, and said:

"Alright, I'll go get the medicine first, and I'll leave after I get it."

After speaking, Wang An gave Fang Xiue a lewd smile and turned to walk toward the pharmacy.

Paying, getting the medicine—by the time Wang An rode his horse out of the hospital, more than half an hour had passed.

The reason it was so slow was that there was only one doctor getting medicine in the pharmacy, and this doctor looked very young.

But the damn thing is, this kid actually doesn't know where what medicine is!

Damn, this guy searched for so long!

Of course, this isn't the most damn thing!

And the most damn thing is that this kid actually doesn't know how to wrap medicine!

Chinese herbal medicine in this era is wrapped in straw paper, and after being wrapped in straw paper, it is tied with hemp rope.

It's not just Chinese herbal medicine; many things are packaged with paper, such as straw paper, butter paper, kraft paper, and various other paper packaging.

But such a simple thing, this kid actually doesn't know. Damn, it's really a strange thing!

To tell the truth, it's just too unprofessional!

To be honest, judging by this kid's performance, Wang An is worried that this kid will get the medicine wrong.

As the wave of individual economy swept through China, suddenly there were a few more storefronts in the county seat.

There is a cooked food shop, a restaurant, and a tailor shop.

It can't be said to be "sudden," because in Wang An's past life, these storefronts appeared at this time. At that time, Wang An even went to the restaurant to eat with those "jianghu brothers"!

It must be said that in this era, only this kind of individually opened restaurant can make people truly feel what "service" is and what "the one with money is the boss" means!

Wang An looked at his watch and found it was only past ten o'clock. After thinking for a moment, he walked toward the first individual cooked food shop in DJ County.

It's called an individual cooked food shop, but actually, basically everyone in DJ County knows that, including the restaurant and tailor shop, they are all opened by people with connections.

Otherwise, not only would those certificates and licenses not be handled, but even the source of goods would be a big problem.

Because without connections, is it possible for an individual to get goods from a meat processing plant? Are you kidding? Just ask if anyone will pay attention to you, and that's it.

Besides, at present, everyone is still crossing the river by feeling the stones; without someone tough to cover for you, they'll kill you.

Fortunately, these things are not what ordinary people should care about. No matter who opened the shop, as long as you can buy things with money, it's fine.

As soon as Wang An entered the door, he recognized who the shop owner was; it was exactly the in-law of the DJ County number two.

Because in Wang An's past life, it was him!

Wang An clearly remembers that a few thugs came here to make trouble; simply put, they ate meat without paying, saying they were using protection fees to offset the bill.

The first time it was just like that; the boss was quite generous and didn't say anything.

The second time they weren't caught in the act, and it was just like that again.

Until the third time, the police actually sent two people to guard there!

And then the little thugs started with 3 years, and the thug leader started with 5 years!

According to people who came out from inside, these thugs were miserable inside, treated specially every day, even worse than when Wang An was inside.

It must be said that just because of greed, eating a few bites of meat, they got such a result, which is truly not worth the loss.

But it must also be admitted that this move directly shocked all the thugs in DJ County, making them honest, and no one dared to come here to collect any "protection fees."

Actually, this time is also quite interesting, because normal fighting and brawling, as long as it doesn't cause death, no one cares at all.

Even if they happen to arrive at the scene by coincidence, they turn a blind eye.

Because the folk customs are like this; not fighting is what's abnormal.

But as long as they want to manage you, to tell the truth, let alone you just snatched a few bites of meat, even if you snatched a needle, they can still take you down.

Seeing Wang An enter the room, the shop owner was quite enthusiastic, which is completely different from the "living ancestors" in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Meat in this era is a genuine tight commodity, so even if the shop owner has strong connections, the cooked food sold is still just pig heads, trotters, and offal.

Wang An bought half a pig head, four pig trotters, and a piece of braised pork intestine. All these things cost a total of 6.3 yuan.

It must be said that pig trotters are really cheap at this time; cooked ones are only 50 cents each, not even as expensive as a jin of pork.

But pig head meat and pork intestine are not cheap, basically equivalent to pork.

The boss wrapped these things with butter paper and finally tied them with hemp rope, and Wang An carried them away.

When Wang An finished steaming the rice and heating up the cooked food, Fang Xiue also got off work early and returned.

And she even brought her white coat back.

It must be said that Fang Xiue is sentimental and also knows how to play to be happier.
