Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 23 Old Chinese Medicine

When Xu An rode a tricycle out of the street, he saw an old man selling candied haws on the side of the road.

Only then did Xu An remember that he had forgotten to buy the candied haws and stickers that Xu Kang and Xu Le both wanted to buy.

When Xu An was picking out candied haws, he suddenly saw a tall and thin figure passing by from the opposite side, and walked into a room with a signboard of 'Chinese Medicine'.

This figure seems to be my uncle, what is he doing here?
"Old man, do you know what the business of the house opposite is?"

The old man selling candied haws looked at the place Xu An was pointing at, grinned his mouth with only a few teeth left, and said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese doctor there, who specializes in infertility. The old Chinese doctor is capable and has a good temper." Big, only accepts guests introduced by acquaintances, and does not pick up strangers."

An old Chinese doctor who specializes in infertility?It seems that the little uncle has not given up the idea of ​​having children, and has begun to believe in those folk remedies and ghosts and gods.

The old man selling candied haws babbled about Xu An's whole night and motioned him to lower his head.

"I've heard people say that this old Chinese doctor is amazing. Many infertile couples became pregnant shortly after visiting him. It's amazing!"

"Old man, have you heard how he was treated?" Xu An always felt that something was not too much, but he couldn't tell why.

The old man shook his head: "If I knew, would I still need to sell candied haws here?"

Seeing that the old man was not clear about the situation, Xu An did not continue to ask, but stood near the old man and looked at the opposite side, waiting for his little uncle to come out.

After waiting for a while, the little uncle did not come out.Xu Qian couldn't wait here all the time, he had to go to the Bauhinia Garden construction site to pick up Xu Heping, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring everything back with that bicycle alone.

Xu An had no choice but to buy two bunches of candied haws and put them in a foam box, and left in the direction of the Bauhinia Garden construction site.

Just 10 minutes after Xu An left, the little uncle walked out of the house humming a little tune with his hands behind his back, with a smug look on his face.

Xu Heping counted the remaining boxed lunches on the stall: "One, two, three, four, five, it's been almost two hours since we left the stall, and there are still five of the thirty boxed lunches left, and the sales are getting lower and lower."

Turning to look at the chow mein stall next door, five yuan egg fried rice is selling very well.

Look at the row of fast food restaurants on the opposite side. Apart from the workers, there are also a few nearby residents mixed in.

Only my booth was extremely deserted.

'Do you want to move the stall to the opposite side? '

While Xu Heping was thinking, Xu An came back on a tricycle.

"Peace, how are you selling here?"

"It's not very good. Thirty boxes of lunches have been sold and there are still five left. I just heard from Uncle Dongliang that the food in the factory cafeteria has returned to normal. It is estimated that there will be fewer people willing to come out to consume in the future."

"Those who are willing to come out to consume are currently snatched by the fast food restaurants opposite. It should be better after their activities are over." Xu An got off the car to help clean up the stalls, and they even arranged for a tractor to move the freezer. It would be too late to delay. late.

"It will take three to 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 a bit high. Our eight yuan box lunch is very attractive to the workers. Maybe it will attract nearby residents or office workers."

The noodle stall owner was a little moved when he heard the words, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu An, and asked politely, "Where is the little brother setting up the stall now?"

"It's just wandering around other construction sites." He prevaricated, and the two left together.

'Pooh! '

The owner of the fried noodle stall spit on the ground, rubbed his feet, and looked at the two people's backs with displeasure.

'Two bastards, don't think I can't find you if you don't tell me. '

When we arrived at the vegetable market, the tractor master was already waiting at the gate of the vegetable market.Xu An and Xu Heping hurried into the vegetable market and found Lao He's dry goods store.

The sign of Lao He's dry goods store was taken down, leaving only an empty lintel.All the shelves in the store were removed, leaving only the freezer that Xu An settled down in the store.

It can be seen that the freezer has been cleaned. There were some dust and water marks on the bottom of the freezer when I came last time, and it has been cleaned up now.

Xu An connected the power supply and made adjustments. After confirming that there was no problem, he greeted Lao He, and with the help of Xu Heping, lifted the freezer into the tractor compartment.

The cabin of the walk-behind tractor is so big that Bufan can fit the freezer, and also put the two people's tricycle and bicycle together.Xu An and Xu Heping squeezed into the front seat with the tractor driver and drove towards Xujia Village.

Halfway through the drive, the driver of the tractor received a call, and Xu An heard a few key words in the conversation.

'I want a child', 'Old Chinese doctor', 'have to introduce'

The combination of these keywords reminded Xu An of the old Chinese medicine practitioner opposite the construction site of Haishi Library.

"Master, I heard you call an old Chinese doctor just now. Could it be the old Chinese doctor opposite the construction site of the Haishi Library?"

The tractor master was taken aback, looked Xu An up and down, and said with disbelief: "No way, young man, you are only in your early twenties and you are going to see an old Chinese doctor for treatment?"

"I asked on behalf of a relative. He has been married for seven or eight years and still has no children. If you don't hear this, please pay attention to him." Xu An quickly explained.

"Oh." The tractor master came back to his senses: "That's right, it's absolutely no problem to find this old Chinese doctor."

"I heard many people say that he is good at treating infertility, but I have never heard of anyone who has successfully treated there. Master, has anyone you know treated there?"

"It's right if you don't know. The old Chinese doctor's secret recipe uses a lot of scarce medicinal materials, and the output is not high. If it gets out and more people know about it, it will disturb his purity. He only saves those who are destined." The tractor master said in his tone. full of pride.

"Then how do you know so much?" Xu An asked.

"I have a relative, it's really a relative!" The tractor master emphasized it before continuing: "I have been married for more than three years and have no children. I asked someone to find that old Chinese doctor through a relationship. I see it once a week. I saw it every three or five years. After returning, I was really pregnant. The child is three years old now, and he is very lively and cute."

"Then do you know how this old Chinese doctor treated patients?" Xu An brought up this topic again.

"The treatment process is kept secret, and no one tells or knows about it. But I know about the Chinese medicine that goes with it. They are all rare and precious medicinal materials, which are very nourishing."

Treatment techniques cannot be mastered by just looking at them. The reason why old Chinese doctors are so cautious is that this treatment offense is likely to be invisible to others, and it may even be a way of breaking the law.

Of course, there is another possibility that cannot be ruled out. The old Chinese doctor has awakened the Guanyin Guanyin system. The task of the system is to allow a thousand infertile couples to have their own children.

The three of them chatted, and soon returned to Xujia Village.The "rumbling" sound of the tractor attracted many people in the village to watch.

After the freezer was settled, Xu An cleaned out the kitchen, and called Uncle Xu Guoqiang to help connect the wires.

Move the freezer to the kitchen, connect it to the power supply, the roar of the engine sounds, and the freezer is working normally.

Xu An was very satisfied when he touched the freezer. Starting tomorrow, he can buy the ingredients for the next day when he closes the stall in the afternoon, so he doesn't have to go to the town to buy ingredients in the early 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.

"Grandma, this is for my own use, not a canteen." Xu An explained quickly with a confused face.

"Then why buy a horizontal one, I've never seen this style used in anyone's home." Grandma Xu was very puzzled.

"This one is old and cheap."

As soon as the word "cheap" came out, Grandma Xu no longer struggled with the horizontal and vertical issues of the freezer, and looked left and right at the freezer, becoming more and more satisfied.

But when she saw the freezer's power cord, her heart skipped a beat.How much electricity does such a large freezer consume in a day!
In the evening, Xu An routinely took stock of today's income.

Xu Kang and Xu Le were arguing on the sidelines, Xu Le's little hand accidentally slapped the ledger in Xu An's hand, and a neatly folded piece of paper inside fell to the ground.

After teaching the two of them a lesson, Xu An picked up the notebook and papers 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 station?

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 gaze suddenly fell on the torn corner.

The name is torn off, but the address on the report is still there.

'Room 803, Building [-], Mingyue Bay, Wangcheng District, Haishi'

This is the address of my sister-in-law's house!

My sister-in-law's family has only one male, my uncle's, so this inspection report really belongs to my uncle!
My little uncle's hair is a little green.
