Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

The name of this prescription is also very interesting. It is called: Zhang Xian’s Prescription for Birth.

Zhang Shenxian is the Zhang Xian who often appears in New Year pictures.

Old age painting

Because no one knew his specific name, the common people called him Zhang Xian.

The most important medicine in this prescription is the Astragalus membranaceus that is more than 50 years old. Although the remaining medicines are expensive and cheap, Tong Ren Tang can prepare them all.

Xu Dacan simply asked Xu Jiang to get him a prescription for the medicine.

Xu Jiang looked at him strangely: "Brother Damao, if I'm not mistaken, you are still a virgin, right?"

The reason why he is called a virgin is because of the girl Liu Yueru. Otherwise, with Xu Jiang's big mouth, who knows how he would slander him!

Xu Dacan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Isn't it true that people are so powerful now? Even men can see it!

He had personally experienced an incident in his previous life. One of his relatives returned to the village for a blind date during the Chinese New Year. The other party was a fat girl who claimed to be 32 years old and single.

As a result, the head of the women's department of their village happened to be visiting a relative. She took one look at the relative and pulled the relative's parents aside. She said in no uncertain terms, "She is fat and flabby. She has given birth before. She must be at least 36 years old."

Later, they asked someone to check, and found out that everything was correct!

"..."

Liu Yueru looks to be about the same age as Xu Dacan, maybe even older. She already understood what she should have understood, and couldn't help but smile when she heard it.

Xu Dacan was furious: "It's my brother! He has been married for 7-8 years and still can't have a child."

The same words produce different effects in different people's ears.

For example, what Liu Yueru heard was: Turns out he is his brother.

But when her father heard this, he thought that one should not take random medicines, and it would be better to let the couple come to see me to check who had the problem.

But when Xu Jiang heard this, it became: What, his brother has difficulty in having children? That's great!

Xu Jiang coughed twice and said, "Well, brother Damao, you are putting the cart before the horse, aren't you?"

Seeing that Xu Dacan didn't understand, he explained: "Isn't it a coincidence today? The most talented doctor in the Jing family who is best at treating the inability to have a son is right in front of you, and I can provide you with the greatest convenience. Why don't you seize this opportunity?"

Xu Dacan thought about it and decided that the method Xu Jiang suggested was indeed the safest.

It's his tone...

Xu Dacan asked him with some pain in his teeth: "Then according to you, should I give you a little more space?"

Xu Jiang stretched out his hand and slapped it: "150!"

Well, why don't you grab it?

Xu Dacan was so angry that his teeth were itching: "Haha, after letting you go, do I have to treat the Liu Divine Doctor and his daughter to a meal? It would be better to take you along as well."

Xu Jiang's eyes were so bright from laughing that they were invisible: "That's right, that's right. It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. How about we go eat roast duck?"

This guy, does he really not consider himself an outsider?

Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how much a roast duck costs these days?

8 yuan! How much is the salary of an apprentice in a factory? 18 yuan per month...

Fortunately, Xu Dacan is not short of money. The money he made from selling ginseng last time and astragalus this time totals less than 3000!

Besides, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e are not stingy people, and they don't even have a place to spend money normally.

When it comes to roast duck, Quanjude is definitely the first choice.

Their roast duck is cooked in a hanging oven, using an open flame of fruit wood. The duck meat has a special aroma. Compared with the braised oven roast duck at Bian Yi Fang, it is more in line with the public's preferences.

Although Bianyifang’s slogan is “convenient for the people, suitable for home and family”, the price-performance ratio of their roast duck is not particularly high.

Moreover, the main flavor is more authentic. People who go there to eat roast duck for the first time may not be able to stand the greasy taste.

So, in Beijing, especially these days, people prefer to go to Quanjude for roast duck.

However, Xu Dacan and his friends did not go to any of these two restaurants today. Instead, they followed Xu Jiang's lead and came to Quan Ya Ji, a restaurant located in the alley of Jinbao Street.

Their family is definitely a rare gem nowadays.

The courtyard is exactly the same as the ones in the alley. There is a sign at the door that only says "1949". If you are not led by a local living in this area, you would not know that this is a restaurant if you pass by from the outside.

While eating, Xu Jiang, whether intentionally or unintentionally, brought up the old matter again and told him about the time when Xu Dacan sold him ginseng.

Liu Huangbai just listened to the story, but Liu Yueru was amazed and asked him at the end: "Xu Damao, has your family member's illness been cured?"

Xu Dacan picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I didn't tell you my real name before. My name is Xu Dacan, and Xu Damao is my brother."

Xu Dacan, Xu Damao? Interesting...

Xu Jiang laughed out loud: "It's okay, it's okay. As the saying goes, you should always be on guard against others."

But Xu Dacan still finished the glass of wine and said, "I'll drink a glass as punishment to make amends to my brother."

As the conversation got going, the atmosphere at the table became more lively.

A roast duck has 108 clove leaves, not one more, not one less; a cabbage soup made with duck bones is so delicious that it can make your throat feel fresh all the way to your belly button...

Liu Yueru loved to drink soup, so she only ate 3 rolls of roast duck and stopped, leaving the rest for them to drink.

During the meal, Xu Jiang asked a particularly interesting question: "Brother Dacan, how old are you this year?"

Xu Dacan put down his chopsticks in surprise. How come they ended up talking about his age?

But there is nothing to hide: "I am 18, and I will be 19 after the Chinese New Year."

Xu Jiang and Liu Huangbai looked at each other and both felt a little unbelievable.

Xu Dacan's sophistication in dealing with people makes it hard to tell that he is a young man who is not even 20 years old.

Sometimes Xu Jiang even had the illusion that he was facing a veteran in his forties or fifties who had been struggling in society for half his life.

Liu Yueru was also a little surprised and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were older than me."

Xu Jiang's reaction was really quick: "Yes, Yueru will be 20 in the winter, I will host her then. By the way, Dacan, you must come, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Yueru!"

Once the reform and opening up begins, this guy will definitely make a fortune in business.

Just as Xu Dacan was about to speak, he heard a small creaking sound.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Liu Huangbai was scratching the table leg with his fingernails...

My goodness, do you think he is a yellow-haired guy?

Xu Dacan glanced at Liu Yueru again and found that the girl was also looking at him with a cunning look in her eyes. She was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Liu Huangbai didn't eat much for today's meal, he was so angry!

This Xu Jiang, he treated him as a friend, but he actually wanted to introduce Yueru to that boy as a date?
