Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 289 Is this too sinister? (3k)

Hearing the three words "chili noodles" in dialect, the young men from the surrounding courtyards were obviously stunned, thinking that this was another name for some kind of Kung Fu.

"Master, what do you mean by chili powder?" the little Russian Anton asked in dialect.

In dialect:
"It means exactly what it says. It is made from dried chili peppers and ground into a fine powder. It is carried on the person and can be spread out as a hidden weapon when necessary."

When they found out that the answer was so plain, everyone's face flashed with shock. Anton opened his mouth and said:
"Huh? Is this okay?"

Fang Yan glanced at him and could only point to the bruises on his face that had not yet completely disappeared:

"It doesn't matter. Since they can outnumber others, why can't you use chili paste to paste their eyes?"

"There is a saying that goes, All is fair in war. I believe you have all heard of it."

Several people nodded.

"The chili powder is only used for self-protection. If they don't bother you and you don't use it, no one can find fault with you."

Fangyan’s suggestion is to use this thing to protect yourself, at least you won’t be provoked by others, then surrounded and beaten up without even a chance to resist.

Anton asked with some concern:
"Will the damage be too great?"

Fangyan replied:
"I have experience using it. Its lethality is not even as strong as the punch I gave you in the eye."

"If you are really worried, you can soak the chili powder in water, which will reduce the lethality."

At this time, the others finally reacted. Anton's master was really teaching them to make something that seemed somewhat unexpected.

Chen Yu, the leader of the group, asked Fang Yan:

"Uncle Fang, is this considered a biological weapon?"

Fangyan felt like laughing at his words.

He held it back, shook his head and said:

"No, it's just a seasoning packet before it's spread out."

Fang Weiguo, who seemed the most honest among them, asked:

"Isn't this too insidious?"

Before Fang Yan could answer, Zhang Haiyang slapped his thigh and stood up, saying:

"Damn it, they beat us up like this, no matter how insidious it is, as long as we can get back at them, I think this chili powder is really good."

"Everyone is after the eyes, using fists and chili powder, and there is no one who is more noble or more base."

"And we didn't say we would use it proactively! We only use it to protect ourselves. If they don't cause trouble like they did today, can we slap them in the face?"

After saying this, Li Jun first stood up and agreed:
"I think what the ocean said makes sense."

He asked in dialect:

"By the way, Uncle Fang, where do you think the chili powder is better?"

Fangyan didn't expect that this kid was so receptive and was already preparing to buy chili powder.

After thinking for a while, he said to them:
"Try to choose something that's not too spicy. After all, you just want to protect yourself, not kill them."

Li Jun asked curiously:
"Can peppers be so spicy that they can kill you?"

Fangyan thought of the incredibly spicy peppers in his previous life and gave them some scientific knowledge:

"In theory, there are peppers in the world that are so spicy that they can kill people, but you probably can't get access to them right now because they're all overseas."

At this time, Chen Yu on the side took over the conversation and said:

"Uncle Fang is right. We really can't choose something too spicy. It looks like we have to go to the market and choose carefully."

After hearing this, Anton asked:

"Brother Yu, do you agree to use chili powder?"

As the eldest of the five people, Chen Yu cares more about the outcome of this matter. He has already agreed with the opinion Fang Yan just provided. Now among the five people, only Anton and Fang Weiguo are a little hesitant, while Li Jun and Zhang Haiyang are very supportive.

So Chen Yu could only point to his eyes and say:
"No way, who told them to not be moral in the first place?"

"They outnumbered us and beat us in the eyes. They were the first to do such an excessive thing. We are just fighting back. Even if outsiders know about it, they will not say anything wrong about us."

"A kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. We can't just let this go. Besides, they were the ones who had been causing trouble for us first. We brought the chili powder for self-defense."

Although he said it was for self-defense, he was already thinking about how to provoke the other party and slap him in the face when he met him.

"I agree! I think it's very reasonable not to use a shotgun to shoot them," Li Jun responded.

Zhang Haiyang also nodded at this time:
"Yes, I think it makes sense. They beat our eyes like this, so we smeared them with chili powder, which is just a courtesy."

Seeing the two people express their opinions, Chen Yu said:

"Now that three of the five of us agree, this matter is passed."

Anton said at this time:
“Actually, I agree.”

As he said this he raised his hand.

Finally, Fang Weiguo was the only one left, and he also raised his hand:
"If everyone agrees, I have no objection, me too!"

……

In the end, the five of them voted unanimously to pass the proposal to weaponize chili powder, and the flames of revenge in their hearts were burning.

After a comprehensive discussion, they decided that the next time they were provoked, they would be "forced to fight back" and make it difficult for anyone to find fault. Fang Yan himself did not expect that his acquaintance with this group of children from the compound actually started from such an incident.

In the following time, they did not ask Fangyan to help them with makeup, thinking that the situation on their faces was similar and would not be noticed. They all couldn't wait to go to the vegetable market to choose chili powder.

When they left, they told Fangyan that they would come and tell him the good news after they won.

Seeing that they looked like they had obtained a secret weapon, Fang Yan couldn't help but remind them:
"If there are more of them, your best option is to run."

"Chili powder is most effective when used on a single person. If you use it on a large group of people, they will be on guard when they see you using it. Don't let yourself get beaten up after you use the chili powder. That's not worth it."

Facts have proved that the cold water poured by the dialect is really meaningful.

A few of them actually planned to use chili powder to defeat the enemy with less.

After sending them away, Fangyan returned to the front yard.

Looking at the furniture in the three rooms of the back house, I felt grateful that after working so hard for so long, I finally made use of this house. I have already planned in my mind what kind of people would be best to accommodate in these places.

Mr. Zhu has come from far away, so he must have a room. If the eldest sister comes back, she will probably also want one.

The remaining room is left for others to share.

Then there are some rooms in the yard, which can be used to accommodate relatives coming from far away.

Most of Fangyan’s relatives are from Beijing.

So there is no need to worry about accommodation issues, only many of Zhu’s relatives will come from other places.

If there is really no accommodation, they can only be arranged to stay in a guesthouse. These fathers-in-law all have contingency plans.

A little later, Fangyan brought back some soil. Last time he planned to find a piece of land to plant something, and the box for storing the soil had been prepared, but he had no time to get the soil.

Today I finally remembered it and got it done.

I planted the green onions, garlic sprouts and leeks that Fangyan had been longing for. While the weather is still hot and suitable for growth, I will harvest a few crops for delicious harvest.

Next, he returned to his study, picked up the typewriter, and continued typing the contents of "Chinese Materia Medica Preparation".

The more content you type out now, the less time you will spend later.

Ever since there was a minor incident in the promotion of the Poge Jiuxin Decoction, Fangyan has paid special attention to this book.

When it was time to get off work and everyone in the family came back, they went to the back room where the furniture had already been moved in and tried out every room.

My mother even suggested that we have dinner in the front yard tonight.

It's a completion ceremony.

After all, although Fangyan brought the workers to eat hot pot here last time, the furniture was not moved in at that time. Now that the furniture has been moved in and people are actually living in it, it can be considered officially completed.

Everyone in the family agreed with this sense of ritual, so that night the family set up the table here and had dinner.

However, after this meal, I sighed and realized that it was indeed not as comfortable to live in the front courtyard as in the main courtyard. Although the layout was similar, I always felt that this place was lacking something.

This is actually something related to architectural feng shui. Fangyan was just borrowing books from Le Miao's house at the time and had occasionally read some books on this subject.

The ancient Chinese people started studying this aspect a long time ago.

But it was lost again in modern times.

In fact, some of the newly built buildings in the capital are very particular about these things.

The Feng Shui layout of some places was designed only after specially consulting experts who were recruited by the official authorities.

For example, the two fire unicorns at the entrance of Tongrentang in Dazhalan.

The Qilin placed in other places is the Water Qilin, only here is the Fire Qilin.

That was all guided by an expert.

……

Time quickly came to the next day. Fang Yan went to work early in the morning. Instead of going to Tong Ren Tang first, he came to the state-owned restaurant he had been to before.

Asked about the female worker who was bitten by a snake yesterday.

The person in the store replied that he had recovered yesterday afternoon.

Fangyan then rode his bike to Tongrentang.

Today is Sunday, and there are a lot of people in the store. Fangyan is also very busy. There are always patients who come from other places to take advantage of the weekend.

Fang Yan was so busy today that he finished seeing all the patients who came to see him until dinner time.

Fangyan also discovered one thing: today, obviously more people came to the store to buy Ji Desheng snake medicine.

These are all nearby neighbors who came here because they heard that Ji Desheng snake medicine was used here yesterday to cure a female worker at a state-owned restaurant.

So everyone planned to buy some Ji Desheng snake medicine to take back in case of emergency.

All the Ji Desheng snake medicine in the store was sold out in one go.

But no matter what, Fangyan finally made it through the day with the most patients in the week.

Next, tomorrow, Monday, he will go to the research institute to officially take over his new writing team.

ps: The 6000 words have basically been updated, and there will be more updates later.
