After instructing the Liu brothers, Hao Shanlong came back and took Chu Heng to pack the medicinal materials.
Although the medicinal materials he bought have been prepared, if they want to be used to make medicinal wine, they still need to be refined.
Some need to be steamed, some need to be stir-fried, and some need to be cut. The most troublesome thing is that several strong herbs such as dodder seeds have to be taken out separately to make medicinal soup, which is very labor-intensive.
At the beginning, Hao Shanlong was doing it and teaching him, while Chu Heng stuck his butt out and watched.
However, his understanding was quite good, and coupled with the old man's teachings, he soon ended up personally handling the medicinal materials under the old man's supervision.
The Liu brothers did not leave even after setting up the stove. They were busy helping with the moving and lifting work.
Some neighbors in the courtyard came to watch the excitement after smelling the smell. Seeing the medicinal materials all over the house, they curiously asked about the situation. Hao Shanlong remained tight-lipped, saying nothing unnecessary and just kept busy with his work.
Chu Heng didn't want people to know that he was drinking aphrodisiac wine. He was afraid that the old ladies in the courtyard would spread rumors, so he made up a story and passed it on.
Several people were busy, and the time soon reached noon.
Chu Heng put down the medicine he had just prepared, raised his hand to look at the time, and then gave Liu Guangtian ten dollars and some tickets: "Brother, if you are tired, go to the restaurant to get some food and come back. Just use the money and say goodbye." There’s nothing left.”
"okay."
Liu Guangtian's eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly took the money ticket, wiped himself and led his brother out.
Ten yuan is enough to buy a lot of meat and vegetables, and he has made a fortune today.
"Wait a minute." Chu Heng stopped him at this time, took a few lunch boxes and handed them over, and said funnyly: "Do you two plan to bring them back with your hands?"
"Hey, I forgot about it in a hurry." Liu Guangtian scratched his head, took the things and left the courtyard as fast as he could.
"Let's take a break, man." Chu Heng came to Hao Shanlong who was squatting on the ground cutting medicine, took out a cigarette and let it go.
The old man straightened up and hammered his waist, with a tired look on his face. He took a puff from the cigarette and sighed, "Old man, I missed something while doing some work."
"You're tired today. Drink some wine later to relax your muscles and bones."
Chu Heng went back to the inner room, took the teapot and brewed a pot of tea, and said to the old man: "Come on, gentlemen, have a drink of tea to quench your thirst."
Hao Shanlong walked slowly to the Eight Immortals table in the back room and sat down. He picked up the glass with the ugly red flowers on the table and took a sip of tea. He immediately raised his brows and said, "Mingqian Longjing, great tea! "
"Expert." Chu Heng gave a thumbs up and said, "Please take some back with you when you leave. I have plenty."
The old man refused to accept it, smiled and shook his head and said: "No reward for no merit."
"You have helped so much, why have you failed?" Chu Heng said with a smile.
"That's what I promised, but it doesn't count as merit." Hao Shanlong waved his hand.
Chu Heng was too lazy to dwell on this matter anymore, so he changed the topic and asked him: "Man, when do you think you will be able to finish your life?"
The old man took a sip of tea, made an estimate and said, "It will take three days anyway."
Chu Heng nodded and said, "Then I will pick you up in the mornings these days, okay?"
"No need. If you accept the door, I can come by myself." But the old man didn't want to. He had hands and feet, and it wasn't like he couldn't move, so why let anyone pick him up?
"Let's do it." Chu Heng didn't insist.
The two of them chatted for a while, talking about the past events in their early years and the changes over the years. Time passed so quietly and quickly.
At nearly one o'clock, the Liu brothers finally came back with food. They bought three large dishes, soy sauce sausage, shredded chicken with mustard, pork slices, a dozen large steamed buns and a few sesame cakes.
The two goods are real, and I spent all the ten yuan without any left.
However, Chu Heng didn't want the money anymore. He wiped himself and brought a bottle of Fenjiu wine, and opened a bottle of canned fish to collect enough for four dishes. The few of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
The two Liu brothers had no image to speak of. They kept their heads down and ate haphazardly. White-faced steamed buns as big as a palm were eaten in three to five times. I don’t know how long they had been hungry.
Old Man Hao was more polite. He ate his food in small bites and sipped wine from time to time, showing his style.
After eating and drinking, several people started working again. After having a big meal, the Liu brothers were full of enthusiasm and pointed out where to hit without any ambiguity.
If you chase Director Chu around, there will be meat to eat!
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
The four jars of medicinal wine have all been prepared and piled up on the kitchen wall. As long as they brew for a while, this thing can become a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women.
As old man Hao estimated, only half of the medicinal materials were used, but it didn't matter. Chu Heng had already thrown the rest into the warehouse and saved it for future use.
Time stands still there, so there is no need to worry about damage.
"oops!"
When Chu Hengda got up in the morning, he walked around the four wine jars, feeling full of ambition.
After Chu Jianshe's incident of sending wine to ask for help, he realized that this wine was no longer a simple aphrodisiac in his eyes, but a social tool!
Which man can resist the temptation of regaining his glory?
Leave these wines to your second uncle, and I believe he will soon be able to gather the middle-aged and elderly patients around him and weave an unbreakable group of patients.
As the owner of Tiger Whip Wine, Chu Heng can also get a lot of benefits from it.
Substantial interests are all side effects, it depends on those invisible connections.
In just a few months... well.
It never hurts to get to know more people.
After breakfast, Chu Heng set off for the unit.
He got up a little late today, and when he got there, most of the employees had already arrived, and even the aunts had a tea party.
Chu Heng stood next to the aunts and listened for a while. When he saw that it was just about removing dust and breaking shoes, there was no new news, so he strolled back to the office.
Miss Xiao Ni has been here a long time ago and is currently settling accounts at her desk. Her pretty pink face is tense, her eyes are focused and serious, and she didn't even notice her man coming.
Chu Heng didn't bother her. He glanced lightly and returned to his seat. Then he picked up the hot tea that the girl had made in advance and took a few sips. Then he lowered his head and started busy with his work.
At around nine o'clock, the office phone rang.
It was the second uncle who called and asked him to bring two bottles of tiger whip wine, and he did so immediately, as if he was in a hurry.
After he put down the phone, the little girl Ni who was awakened looked at him faintly, her mouth bulged, and she was a little unhappy: "Why do you want to go out again?"
These days, her men always come and leave, leaving her alone in the office, leaving the girl empty.
"Second uncle has something to do with me."
Chu Heng stood up with a smile, went up and kissed his wife on the cheek, then picked up his bag and prepared to leave.
"Hey, are you coming back for lunch?" Ni Yinghong blinked her big black eyes expectantly. She hadn't had dinner with him for several days.
"I'll definitely come back." Chu Heng couldn't let his wife down. He rubbed the girl's head affectionately and left the office quickly.
"Then I wait for you."
Ni Yinghong was overjoyed, with two big dimples showing on her face.
