Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 118, Obsessed (asking for monthly ticket)
As a major fruit in the capital, pear production is second only to apples and peaches.

There are many varieties of pears in Beijing, including Beijing White Pear, Yaguang Pear, Perfume Pear, Small Snow Pear, Cangxi Snow Pear, etc.

Today is September 2nd, and the pears near the capital are ripe and ready for harvest.

Zhao Mancang had never been to the supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise he should have been able to buy pears.

The pigeon market doesn't sell these because they are not yet unsaleable, and the nearby production teams are certainly not in a hurry.

"Come, eat a pear!"

Yang Shourong picked up a big pear and handed it to Zhao Mancang, introducing it with a smile.

These pears were sent from Daxing. They are very sweet and juicy.

Looking at the big pear in his hand, Zhao Mancang didn't hesitate to wipe it and started eating it.

"Leader, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Hearing Zhao Mancang's question, Yang Shourong glanced at Xing Shuqi, Shen Zhongxin and the others and said with a smile:

"Let me ask you first, did you go to the Moscow experts' building near Jianguomen last night?"

Seeing Zhao Mancang nod, Yang Shourong continued:
"So someone from Moscow really invited you to work there last night? What earth-shattering feat did you do? How could someone from Moscow invite you to work as a doctor there?"

In fact, Yang Shourong and the other three had already learned the whole story from the information reported by Kiriakov and his team's full-time driver Xie Fayue.

Xing Shuqi even specifically informed Zeng Zhijun's leader Qiu Rongqiang about the general situation.

The conflict between Zeng Zhijun and Zhao Mancang was not a big deal, but the invitation that Alfred sent to Zhao Mancang still shocked and left Xing Shuqi and the other three leaders speechless.

Some time ago, Ming Kecheng, the president of Union Hospital, gave Zhao Mancang the treatment of an associate chief physician, which was already outrageous.

Now, Zhao Mancang has once again received a job offer as a doctor in Moscow with a monthly salary of 1,300 rubles.

My goodness, when Xing Shuqi and the others received this news last night, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Isn’t this too outrageous, Zhao Mancang?

"Leader, please don't accuse me, I didn't do anything!" Zhao Mancang heard this and said quickly:
"I rejected Alefred's invitation last night. I'm an ordinary person born and raised in Beijing. I don't speak Russian. The only foreign language I know is English, which I learned on my own."

Seeing that he looked aggrieved, Xing Shuqi and the other three were speechless.

"If you really haven't done anything, why should they pay you 1,300 rubles?"

Yang Shourong asked unhappily, and Zhao Mancang argued plausibly:
"Isn't this the engineer Venediktto you asked me to save from our factory? He was already pronounced dead, so I had no choice but to perform surgery right away."

"Those Muscovites have never seen the world. A single craniotomy shocked them."

Upon hearing this, Xing Shuqi, Shen Zhongxin and Yang Shourong looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was indeed they who asked Zhao Mancang to rescue people.

At the beginning, it was Venedikt who told them that they didn't trust Zhao Mancang, so he went to the Friendship Hospital for treatment and committed suicide.

As a result, Sergei Salyukov of the Friendship Hospital was unable to cure Venedikotto and even announced that the latter had died.

Even a prestigious hospital like Friendship Hospital couldn't cure him, but Zhao Mancang brought him back to life.

Xing Shuqi and the others were all quite surprised at the time, but because Zhao Mancang appeared too calm, the three of them thought it was just a misdiagnosis and did not take it too seriously.

After all, Venedikotto is not dead, so there is no big problem.

However, now that I think about it, something is still wrong.

In short, Alfred is not a fool, nor is he stupid, so he offered Zhao Mancang a monthly salary of 1,300 rubles. There must be a secret behind this.

And this secret came out when Zhao Mancang treated Venedikotto last time.

Because Dr. Sergei Salyukov from the Friendship Hospital was also in the operating room at the time and even participated in the entire process.

Therefore, he must be the one who knows best about Zhao Mancang's treatment process and Zhao Mancang's medical skills.

If that's the case, the whole thing becomes much simpler.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, let me ask you, are you the only one who can perform this craniotomy you just mentioned?"

Xing Shuqi suddenly became serious and asked in a very serious tone.

Shen Zhongxin and Yang Shourong suddenly thought of something, and suddenly sat up straight, staring at Zhao Mancang seriously.

"Leader, I don't know if other people know how to do it. As for me, I learned about it from medical books, and I've used animals for experiments before, so I'm probably a bit more courageous."

Zhao Mancang suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been pretending too much.

Operations like craniotomy are not something that ordinary doctors can handle. Even heart repair surgery is not something that ordinary doctors can do.

But Zhao Mancang was just an ordinary breeder, well, barely a veterinarian, and yet he miraculously achieved this.

Unbelievable!

In fact, Zhao Mancang really didn’t know how awesome craniotomy was in this era.

Moreover, even in later generations, which doctor who can perform a craniotomy is not the top doctor in the hospital?
After hearing Zhao Mancang's explanation, Xing Shuqi, Shen Zhongxin and Yang Shourong suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted from anger.

"Don't tell me that the last time you operated on Venediktto, you had never performed a similar operation before?"

Zhao Mancang nodded honestly to Yang Shourong's question, and then quickly explained:
"Boss, this is not my fault. You were so anxious that you asked me to save people. I was paid two salaries, so I must fulfill my responsibilities as a doctor."

"Besides, Sergei Salyukov had already announced Venediktto's death. You, the leader, knew that. It was such an urgent situation. If I hadn't intervened, Venediktto would have died."

"So I really was just trying to save the situation. It was a desperate move, but it was all out of responsibility."

"Then I didn't expect that I would really explode, and luckily I saved him."

Venedikotto suffered from transient cerebral ischemia caused by heart disease. During his treatment at Friendship Hospital, he suddenly developed a complication such as stroke. It was too late to treat him, and he passed away.

If it weren’t for Zhao Mancang cheating, he really couldn’t be saved.

At this time, Xing Shuqi and the other two were speechless for a long time.

It can be seen that Zhao Mancang cannot be blamed for this matter, and they should even be thanked. Otherwise, even if the three of them were not demoted or transferred, they would still be criticized.

There are not many engineers coming from Moscow, and if one of them dies, Moscow will never let it go.

Even though Venediktto was just an ordinary engineer in Moscow, he had come all the way to our country and was treated preferentially. Such experts should of course be well protected.

I just didn't expect that this person would almost lose his life because of this. I still feel a little scared when I think about it.

At the same time, Xing Shuqi and the others were relieved but also scared, but also speechless. In short, their mood was very complicated.

If they were told that Zhao Mancang's medical skills were average, they would definitely not believe it now.

According to Zhao Mancang himself, he had such good luck because the situation was urgent and he was forced into a desperate situation.

But the salary given by Alfred was definitely not false.

Then there is only one truth, Zhao Mancang is pretending now!
His medical skills must be very good, but he himself doesn't know how great they are.

So, can the steel plant still retain someone like him?

The three of them looked at each other and had to ask Zhao Mancang to leave first.

We can discuss the salary increase later.

Because Xing Shuqi and the others thought that it would not be long before the higher-ups, such as those in the health department, who had heard the news, would come and talk to the three of them.

Self-taught wildlife doctors like Zhao Mancang should be recruited into the army.

Zhao Mancang was still a little confused when he came out of the office.

"I was so careless!!! I should have known I shouldn't have acted so pretentiously, but now it seems too late. How could I have let my mind get so carried away back then?"

"It seems that after getting married, the needs have increased, and I don't have to worry so much anymore."

"But it's okay this way. It's good to change jobs by accident."

However, before Zhao Mancang could get his new job, he was suddenly stopped by Shen Baoai when he returned to the clinic.

"Comrade Zhao, I'm here today to discuss with your leader about having you go to our country of Sichuan and Shu. Are you free now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang shook his head in surprise. Even if he was free, he would say he was busy.

He didn't really want to go to Sichuan, as it was too far away, so it would be better for him to stay in the capital.

After traveling to this world, Zhao Mancang had already been to Northeast China twice and experienced the green-skinned trains of this era, so he didn't want to experience it again.

That’s really enough!

Well, the green train is not only very slow, but also very unhygienic.

Even poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese are allowed on the train. This is a contrast that Zhao Mancang, who is used to the clean, tidy and ultra-efficient high-speed rail, finds difficult to accept.

When Zhao Mancang went to Northeast China before, he had no choice but to accept it in order to survive.

Zhao Mancang naturally didn't want to go to Sichuan this time.

Because this is to help others, and it is an organization that has nothing to do with us.

In fact, Zhao Mancang himself was very conflicted, and he was not completely without ideas about the Sichuan Kingdom.

In this era, the scenery there must be very beautiful. It would be nice to go there for a walk and see the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland.

But even on the road, he was afraid of suffering.

"Forget it. If I'm really assigned to go there, I'll just see what happens and see if the system has any good stuff to make my journey more comfortable."

Zhao Mancang shook his head and said, "Let it be."

It’s like when he went to Pigeon City. He knew there might be danger and he encountered danger several times, but he still went. Why?
Because he just wants to make his life better, that's all.

Everything actually has a purpose. He can't just go wherever he wants.

Besides, when you are in the world, there are many things that are beyond your control!
It’s like he had cancer in his previous life. Is this the result he wanted?

After coming to this world, he also wanted to lie down and give up, but until now he has not been able to lie down.

Perhaps the craniotomy he had performed by accident before could make his status soar, or it could make him half-lying.

To be honest, if his superiors assigned him a more leisurely and high-paying job, Zhao Mancang would definitely agree to it.

Looking at Zhao Mancang's leaving back, Shen Baoai smiled disapprovingly: Can you escape?

As long as leaders like Xing Shuqi have spoken, Zhao Mancang will have to accept it even if he is unhappy.

This time, Shen Baoai was full of confidence. He believed that the conditions he offered could not be refused by Xing Shuqi and the other three.

Zhao Mancang returned to the clinic and turned away without even sitting down.

He went straight to the breeding room, took the black horse and left.

When Zhao Mancang arrived at the Jundushan Breeding Farm, Zheng Haichao and the others were all very surprised.

Each of them held a booklet and wanted to show off in front of Zhao Mancang.

Because several days had passed, they only had two things to do every day: take care of the musk deer and recite pamphlets.

They don't need to cook for themselves, so they have plenty of time.

The thirty-six breeder apprentices were all diligent people, and many of them even recited the booklet while taking a bath.

Some people even talk in their sleep and their sleep talks are related to the contents of the booklet.

That’s it. After seeing Zhao Mancang, of course they wanted to show off.

"Come one by one, don't be in a hurry."

Zhao Mancang smiled happily, first checked the musk deer they were responsible for, and then asked them to recite.

Everyone has to recite it, and they do it one-on-one and separately.

Because each person only has five minutes, if the five-minute recitation is not completed, the performance will be much worse.

Except for the six people squeezed in by Shen Baoai and Lu Zhiqiang, the other thirty people were extremely serious and did not dare to make mistakes. Their reciting speed was ridiculously fast.

The task of reciting the booklet took Zhao Mancang most of the morning.

After they finished reciting, Zhao Mancang gave them some brief instructions and then returned to the steel plant.

As a result, when he returned to the steel plant, Xiao Shutie informed him that Director Yang and others were waiting for him.

Got it!
There is no way to escape.

When he arrived at the leader's office, Zhao Mancang saw Shen Baoai as expected, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It seems that going to Sichuan and Shu is inevitable.

In this case, we can only accept it.

For the time being, Zhao Mancang could not resist.

"Leaving tomorrow? In such a hurry?"

Upon hearing Shen Baoai's arrangement, Zhao Mancang asked back in surprise.

This is indeed a bit early.

"Yes, I know I'm a little anxious, but there's nothing I can do. The farm is getting impatient, because I received another telegram yesterday saying two more musk deer have died."

Shen Baoai smiled bitterly and said:

"That's why we are so anxious. We want to invite you to come over and help see if you can solve this problem."

During musk deer breeding, it is very common for musk deer to get sick, and once they get sick, the mortality rate is very high.

But it is not easy to do a good job in preventing diseases.

This leads to a vicious cycle.

Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that a better breeding environment is provided for musk deer from the very beginning, otherwise, talking about musk deer breeding would be a joke.

Zhao Mancang nodded to indicate that he understood.

In that case, I can only make one trip.

Just at this moment, the lunch bell rang, and Yang Shourong immediately invited Shen Baoai to have a simple meal together, and Zhao Mancang came along as a surprise.

Shen Baoai has made such a huge contribution, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to treat the other party to a simple meal.

As for what Zhao Mancang said, it would be right to get closer to him.

After all, Yang Shourong has also realized that Zhao Mancang may not be able to work in the steel plant for long.

At noon in the cafeteria, Zhao Mancang was forced to drink by Shen Baoai.

Since Zhao Mancang had already taken leave in the afternoon, Shen Baoai couldn't drink with him in the evening. Naturally, he took advantage of the lunch time to drink as much as he could.

Zhao Mancang’s alcohol tolerance is pretty good, but I didn’t expect that Shen Baoai’s alcohol tolerance is also quite good.

I heard Shen Baoai bragging that he used to drink half a bottle of wine every day before liberation.

Zhao Mancang didn’t know whether it was true or not.

There are many good wines in Sichuan, such as Luzhou Laojiao, Gudao Jianghu, Baolian Daqu, and Maotai.

"A few years ago, my salary was not high, so I often drank Baolian Daqu. You probably haven't tried this kind of bar before?"

Shen Baoai raised his head and poured a glass of wine, then said:
"Baolian Daqu is produced by the 18th State-owned Distillery in Ziyang, our province. Hey, that flavor is amazing!"

In Sichuan, there are many kinds of liquor, and each one is excellent.

The liquor produced in a small county like Ziyang has also gone beyond Sichuan and is now sold well in many places across the country.

Therefore, a liquor brand born in a place where internal competition is so serious will certainly not be bad.

Zhao Mancang and others just listened to his bragging. Anyway, whether the wine tastes good or not is a matter of opinion.

Just like many people think that Moutai is not good, it was started by relying on the Long March, and the brand premium is too serious. In fact, the quality is much worse than Fenjiu, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao and other liquors.

For example, there is a strong-flavored liquor in the territory of Sichuan and Shu - Gudao Jianghu. This liquor has disappeared in later generations.

But in this era, it is still quite famous.

Gudaojianghu wine is not well-known, but the quality of the wine is very high.

It is also brewed using ancient techniques and is a genuine pure grain wine.

This kind of liquor is produced by fermentation, enhanced by distillation, and formed by blending. In order to cater to the market taste, liquor masters were invited to participate in the blending process. The quality of the liquor was sublimated, with a rich and mellow aroma, a sweet and mellow taste, a clean finish, and a long aftertaste.

But it was useless, as its sales were limited to Sichuan and Shu.

Because there are so many varieties of liquor in Sichuan, if yours is not well-known, it will naturally be impossible to stand out.

By the time Shen Baoai had finished bragging, lunch was almost over.

Zhao Mancang staggered out of the canteen. At this time, he was already a little drunk.

Shen Baoai’s alcohol tolerance is indeed amazing, but he can’t withstand Zhao Mancang’s cheating, so the former was directly drunk by Zhao Mancang.

When Zhao Mancang left the canteen, Shen Baoai had already been carried to bed by Xiao Shutie and others.

Arriving at the bicycle shed, Zhao Mancang pushed his bicycle and prepared to walk slowly home.

"Brother Mancang, where are you going? Aren't you going to work this afternoon?"

As they passed the steel plant gate, Fan Tong asked curiously, "I've asked for leave!"

Not long after Zhao Mancang walked out of the steel plant, Liu Baochan's figure appeared in front of him on the road.

what's the situation?
Seeing her figure, Zhao Mancang became a little more sober.

"Brother Zhao Zhao, I..."

When Liu Baochan saw Zhao Mancang, she suddenly felt awkward, like a student caught skipping school, feeling very embarrassed and nervous.

Liu Baochan tried to explain stammeringly, but found that she seemed unable to speak.

So she became more and more anxious, and the more anxious she became, the harder it was for her to organize her words.

"Why did you run out without asking for leave? Is something wrong?" Zhao Mancang asked with a frown.

When Zhao Mancang was alone with Liu Baochan, he felt a little headache.

Logically speaking, he had given her a hundred dollars before, and after such a long time, she still hadn't successfully gotten pregnant, so the previous relationship should have ended here.

However, no one expected that Liu Baochan would enter the musk deer breeding project and become one of the breeder apprentices.

In the past few days, Zhao Mancang was afraid that the other party would look for him alone.

I thought that after so many days, she should have let it go, but I didn't expect to meet her alone today.

The worst thing was that he actually drank alcohol, which reminded him of his previous experience.

"Brother Zhao, I just feel a little sick in my stomach. I wanted to ask for leave, but you weren't here."

Liu Baochan took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and stared at Zhao Mancang with a bold and fiery gaze.

Now she speaks much more fluently.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao. I've asked my colleague Jiang Wenjun to look after my musk deer. It won't interfere with my work."

She didn't lie, she really had a stomachache.

To be precise, it should be during her period a while ago. In order to punish herself, she worked for several days in a row and almost collapsed from exhaustion.

Because she really didn't want her aunt to visit her, she just wanted to survive.

Zhao Mancang is capable, and such a man undoubtedly deserves to have several women, and she is not afraid to share with others.

As long as she could survive, she was content.

After her period, she had another big turning point: Jiang Dayong, a purchasing clerk in the steel plant canteen, told her that Zhao Mancang would soon be in charge of the musk deer breeding project.

Such a breeding project requires the recruitment of breeder apprentices.

Then she actually became one of the breeder apprentices.

She felt so happy and vowed to love Zhao Mancang well in this life.

But she also felt that she was so stupid, especially these days, she had been studying hard but always felt that she had made no progress.

When she was reciting the booklet on musk deer breeding techniques in the morning, she had a brief bump and was quite nervous at the time and almost failed.

At that time, she was almost crying because of her own stupidity.

"If you're not feeling well, just stay put. You're running around in such hot weather. Aren't you afraid you'll collapse from exhaustion halfway?"

Zhao Mancang's heart softened, and he took out paper and pen from his messenger bag and quickly wrote down a recipe for food supplement.

Just when he was about to hand it to the other party, he suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have not received his salary yet, so it would be useless even if he got the prescription.

So he had no choice but to put it back, took out a box of cakes and two bottles of milk from his messenger bag and handed them over:

"Take care of yourself and don't run around."

He always keeps milk in the system space for emergency use.

This thing is a luxury item, but there is no shortage of it in Pigeon City, and there are still people selling it.

The place called Pigeon City is quite magical. Although there are not many people there, there are indeed a lot of things being exchanged there.

Liu Baochan took it blankly, and was overjoyed.

She knew that he had not forgotten her, and now he still cared about her.

Moreover, he actually brought milk and pastries with him. I wonder if he brought them for his wife?
Seeing that she was still lost in thought, Zhao Mancang had no intention of continuing to communicate with her:
"Go back and get some rest. You're probably just lacking nutrition. Taking good care of your body is better than anything else."

After saying that, he was about to push his bicycle away, but Liu Baochan followed him.

Without saying a word, he followed him about two meters away.

This is safe social distancing.

"Why are you following me?"

After walking for a while, Zhao Mancang stopped, turned back and asked with a frown.

Liu Baochan just looked at him with a gentle and silly smile, without saying a word.

This scene immediately gave Zhao Mancang a headache.

This woman is really stupid. It’s not that she doesn’t have enough IQ, but she seems to be in love.

Think about it, when I first met her more than two months ago, she was still a lively and lovely scorer, and she spoke very loudly.

Now she speaks softly and smiles at me all the time. If you don't know her, you would think she has been poisoned by love.

Zhao Mancang had noticed this before when they were at the musk deer farm. She kept staring at him during class.

However, Zheng Haichao, Lu Xueguo and others were listening to the class very seriously, so they didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Sometimes, Zhao Mancang was worried that when the assessment came, if he didn't let Liu Baochan off, would Liu Baochan be the first to be eliminated.

After all, with her crazy look, it doesn't look like she has learned anything at all.

When she was reciting the booklet in the morning, Zhao Mancang was surprised that she could still recite it.

In this regard, she did a pretty good job.

"You should go back to the Jundushan Farm. Remember to drink the milk..."

"Brother Zhao, can you please take me back?"

At this moment, Liu Baochan mustered up the courage to ask.

After asking, she lowered her head to look at her shoes.

She was looking forward to it, but also very scared.

Zhao Mancang felt a headache, thinking that this woman was probably beyond saving.

Knowing that he is already married, why does she still throw herself into the fire?

Then Zhao Mancang himself nodded and agreed for some unknown reason.

You are obsessed with it!!!

This made Liu Baochan very happy.

Because she didn't expect that Zhao Mancang actually agreed to her, for a moment she was filled with joy and was very happy.

Seeing her so happy, Zhao Mancang was also infected and smiled.

Fortunately, there was no one on the road at this time, let alone any vehicles.

Otherwise, if someone really saw the two of them, especially people from the steel plant, Zhao Mancang felt that gossip would definitely spread everywhere.

Although there was no one around at the time, Zhao Mancang still got on his bicycle, asked Liu Baochan to get on quickly, and then took her away first.

On the way to Jundushan Breeding Farm, Liu Baochan was very happy and chattered all the way.

She even boldly hugged Zhao Mancang's waist and leaned her upper body over him.

She has something to offer, but ever since seeing Lin Wan's bowl, Zhao Mancang no longer has any expectations for Liu Baochan.

But this brief contact today still made Zhao Mancang distracted.

Most men like to have their cake and eat it too.

If Lin Wan is perfect in every aspect, just like tasting delicacies from land and sea, then Liu Baochan is like a home-cooked dish that can give Zhao Mancang a change of taste.

After all, even if it is the most delicious food, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it after a while.

Liu Baochan's appearance is not bad. If the full score is 100, it would be around 86.

Although she is not comparable to Lin Wan who scored 97 or 98 points, she is also a very beautiful lesbian.

Therefore, the reason why Zhao Mancang agreed to send her back to Jundushan Farm was most likely because he was bewitched.

Zhao Mancang and Liu Baochan walked slowly along the mountain road in a small woods at the foot of Jundu Mountain.

This place is more secluded, with no one around.

Therefore, Liu Baochan hugged Zhao Mancang's arm more boldly. Even though the weather was a bit hot, it did not prevent her from enjoying herself.

"Brother Zhao, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Hearing that she was beginning to reveal her feelings again, Zhao Mancang quickly changed the subject.

To be honest, he hasn't figured out how to arrange her yet.

Although he wants to go with the flow and follow his heart, he tends to get entangled when the time comes.

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Mancang sent her to a place only about 300 meters away from the farm, then turned back and left.

Touching the left cheek where she had just kissed him, Zhao Mancang smiled and said to himself:
"That's all. I'll decide what to do with her after I return from Sichuan."

Zhongguancun South Street, near the Friendship Hotel.

When Zhao Mancang returned home, Lin Wan and the others had already arrived.

My mother-in-law Zhang Dongyue also arrived early and was helping to prepare the ingredients for tonight.

Lin Huijun was running around the yard with her two puppies, and the sounds of their playfulness filled every corner of the yard.

With Zhao Mancang's return, the yard became even more lively.

We have to prepare two tables of meals tonight, and we need to prepare quite a lot of ingredients.

So, after Zhao Mancang came back, he wanted to help, but Lin Wan asked him to take a shower and go to bed because he still smelled strongly of alcohol.

To be honest, it was a miracle that he was able to ride a bicycle and take Liu Baochan back to the Jundushan Farm after drinking so much white wine.

Perhaps it was because he had been drinking that he agreed to send Liu Baochan back.

Zhao Mancang still wanted to show off, but was pushed by Lin Wan to go to the bathroom.

As a result, Lin Wan's clothes also got wet, and in the end the two of them stayed in the bathroom for an hour to wash.

As an experienced person, Zhang Dongyue had already called Lin Huijun to the front yard and did not let the little guy disturb the intimacy between her daughter and son-in-law in the backyard.

The bathroom is big enough, and this is the first time that Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan have performed water magic here.

How should I put it? This newly opened battlefield is extremely fresh.

And because it was daytime and the mother-in-law and others were in the front yard, it could be said that both Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan were very excited.

After finishing his water magic training, Zhao Mancang went to sleep.

Lin Wan tidied up and then returned to the front yard.

"Mom, why did you change your clothes? Oh, did you take a shower?"

As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Lin Huijun's words made Lin Wan blush instantly.

Although children speak without restraint, Lin Wan, who was guilty as a thief, had something to hide and didn't know how to answer the little guy's question for a moment.

Zhang Dongyue spoke, and this freed Lin Wan.

In the evening, after work, Li Baoguo, Xiao Shutie, Han Xiaochuan, Su Wanzhen and others came to Zhao Mancang's house one after another.

At this time, Zhao Mancang had already gotten up.

He only slept for about half an hour and woke up soon.

However, when he woke up, Lin Wan and Zhang Dongyue, mother and daughter, were already very busy.

There are two tables of food, enough for more than a dozen people, which is not a small amount.

Lin Kai, Lin Guohua, Lin Shuxian and others arrived home one after another, and dinner was almost ready.

Li Baoguo and his friends did not completely give no gifts. They did give a red envelope, but Zhao Mancang did not accept it and returned it to them.

There is nothing wrong with reciprocity, but Zhao Mancang doesn't need it.

What he needs is that Li Baoguo and others can remember his kindness.

He will be on a business trip to Sichuan tomorrow, and he will be away for at least seven or eight days, so if anything happens at home, he will definitely have to trouble Li Baoguo and others.

"Is this Moutai? This is my first time drinking it. Brother Mancang, let me toast you. Thank you for letting me drink Moutai."

At the dinner table, Fan Tong's face was full of smiles and his eyes were shining.

Moutai is very famous, at least in Beijing, many people know about this wine.

There's no way around it. In supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores and other places, Moutai is sold for eight yuan a bottle. Who doesn't know that?

People who drink frequently know many brands of liquor, but most people have never tasted Moutai, nor are they willing to buy it. Moreover, they don’t have Moutai liquor tickets, so they can’t buy it at all.

The wines that many alcoholics often buy are probably bulk liquors such as Guagan wine.

Slightly better liquors, such as Jingzhi Laobai Gan, Xifeng Liquor, Huaibei Kouzi Liquor, etc., are only affordable for high-paid workers like Wei Hongzhou.

If Wei Hongzhou gritted his teeth, he would be able to occasionally drink Fenjiu, Zhuyeqing, Wuliangye, Wangjinlou brand Four Special Liquor, etc.

But if it is Moutai, to be honest, it is really hard to buy and I dare not buy it.

On the market, most of the liquors are actually strong-flavor, light-flavor or special-flavor liquors. As for sauce-flavor liquors, to be honest, there are also many, such as Luzhou Laojiao, Fenjiu, Wuling Liquor, Xifeng Liquor, etc.

For ordinary people like Wei Hongzhou, the flavor doesn’t matter. If they have money, they will try all kinds of wine.

But Moutai is the national liquor. Putting aside whether it tastes suitable or not, the price and its extremely rare characteristics have already deterred many people.

So, when Fan Tong said it was his first time drinking it, he was not joking.

"This is my first time drinking this wine too. You know what, it's just different. Tsk tsk."

Li Baoguo also agreed with a smile, and Xiao Shutie and the others did the same, talking about this matter with a sigh of relief.

If they were not at Zhao Mancang's house, Xiao Shutie and the others would probably say that this wine was not as good as Laoguagan wine, or even worse than glutinous rice wine.

Their table was full of grown men, even Su Wanzhen sat at the same table with Lin Wan and the others because they didn't drink.

Lin Kai originally wanted to sit over, but he was only sixteen years old and still a minor, so he couldn't drink.

So at this moment he could only watch Zhao Mancang and others drinking with envy, and he could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and eat as hard as he could.

"Actually, apart from the fact that Moutai is famous, Wuliangye tastes better in other aspects."

Zhao Mancang expressed the thoughts of Xiao Shutie and others:

"In fact, if I don't have to socialize, I prefer not to drink alcohol. At most, I drink low-alcohol rice wine or sake."

“And fruit wine.”

Han Xiaochuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this:
"Brother Mancang, next time you drink with your boss, you can drink glutinous rice wine. This wine is also quite good."

Everyone burst into laughter and started cursing at Han Xiaochuan.

After laughing, Xiao Shutie suddenly said to Zhao Mancang:
"Mancang, you said you don't want to drink. Is it because you're a doctor?"

"Yes!" Zhao Mancang nodded and said:
"There are still many people who don't have enough to eat, but it won't be long before most of us will have enough to eat and drink."

"Traditional Chinese Medicine places great emphasis on health preservation, which is why our ancient people lived relatively long lives."

At this moment, Su Wanzhen suddenly said:

"Mancang, I'm curious. I've heard before that the average lifespan of ancient people wasn't very good, only around 30 years old. So, it seems that Traditional Chinese Medicine isn't that effective for us."

After this topic was raised, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Obviously, this is a topic that is indeed worth discussing.

Western medicine has been challenging the status of traditional Chinese medicine over the past 100 years, but in fact it has not had much effect.

The position of traditional Chinese medicine in the hearts of the Chinese people is irreplaceable.

Although Western medicine is very powerful, especially during wartime, many of its drugs and equipment have been of great help. Therefore, over the past few hundred years, the role of Western medicine has become increasingly obvious and its status has continued to improve.

But traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be replaced by Western medicine?

"Sister, your question is actually very easy to explain. I'll ask you a few questions and you'll understand."

Zhao Mancang smiled and picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and took a few bites, then said:

"Sister, do you still remember the phrases 'four generations living under one roof' and 'five generations living under one roof'? Confucius once said, 'At thirty one is established; at forty one is free from doubts; at fifty one knows the will of Heaven; at sixty one's ears are obedient; at seventy one can follow one's heart's desire without transgressing the rules.' Do you remember this, don't you?"
