At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Su Che sat down opposite the old man, looking rather reserved, hesitant to speak.

He wanted to negotiate the price and see if there was a discount if he made a formal and long-term purchase.

Before he could speak, the old man saw through his thoughts and asked him:

"I want to get the medication, but I'm having financial difficulties?"

"...Well, if one dose of medicine only lasts for three days, given my condition, I may not be able to take it for a long time."

Su Che spoke frankly, "Old Wang, is there any room for negotiation on this 35,000?"

Even a small knife is still a knife; if he can negotiate down to a thousand or eight hundred, it's not a loss for him.

To everyone's surprise, Old Wang offered a completely unexpected solution—

"Young friend Su, you can pay half of the deposit first. I'll write down the rest for now, consider it a loan to you. You can pay it back whenever you have the money."

"!"

Good heavens, it's official lending.

Faced with such a plan, Su Che had to be cautious.

It's important to know that over the years, he has never used any risky financial products, never bought a single stock, never overdrawn any credit cards, and has never borrowed a single penny from any of his friends.

Because he doesn't like the feeling of being "in debt".

Now, Mr. Wang's proposed solution is to incur a debt of 1 yuan for each dose of herbal tea, without mentioning interest.

Even though the product is good and the effect is excellent, he still has to consider whether he has the financial means to settle the debt.

“Young friend, you don’t need to worry. Since you have already acknowledged the effectiveness of my medicinal tea, I will naturally not cheat you out of your money. As for the interest, you can completely ignore it. Just drink the medicine as usual.”

The old man spoke reassuring words, but Su Che felt there was something fishy about them.

"Is there really no interest?"

He confirmed it again and again.

"No, really."

The old man had a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Su Che did not agree directly, because he had the money to buy the first batch of medicinal tea and there was no need to owe anyone a favor.

What he was most concerned about was that as time went by, he would order more and more tea, and the money he owed would grow bigger and bigger, turning into a huge hole that he would be unable to pay back at all, which would be truly terrifying.

Currently, the situation is still under control.

I only need to prepare 3-6 days' worth of tea at home to meet the daily needs of Bai Qiao and my senior classmates.

Herbal tea can be given to cats as a reward.

The cats are enjoying the effects of the herbal tea.

What I enjoy is the replenishment of my body's deficiencies.

Killing two birds with one stone, each party reaps the benefits.

"so."

He made up his mind and said to Old Wang, "I'll take six packs first, which is enough for two sets. I'll pay 35,000 yuan upfront, leaving half as a debt. I'll pay the rest next time I come back."

"no problem."

Old Wang was quite easy to talk to; he immediately went to get the medicine after I told him to.

Of course, this time we also took the pulse in advance and prescribed medicine according to the syndrome differentiation.

“Young friend, I once said that medicinal tea can replenish qi and blood and prolong yang energy. Although you drank a cup last time, that was only one-third of the dose of medicine. It could not improve your physical condition at all. At best, it could only revive your extremely poor physical condition.”

"what……"

Old Wang's meaning was clear: tea should be drunk regularly.

Working sporadically will only have a short-term effect and cannot fundamentally change one's constitution.

Su Che understood perfectly well, but he didn't want to incur too much debt all at once.

I still have money left over, so I can't possibly go all in on herbal tea and ignore everything else.

If I do the math, I'll only need about two doses of the herbal tea.

White Chocolate Set:

[Spend three days teaching her a lesson, showing her who truly reigns supreme in the night, and explaining that wearing bunny girl or maid outfits all the time will have severe consequences. Simultaneously, retrieve the clothes and put her in a state of utter disarray, rendering her unable to rise again for ten days to two weeks. Only then can we vent the resentment I felt for being suppressed by her last time.]

Yu tide, one-third of the set:

The promise made during the Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be broken; the reward that should be given to the senior student must be given.

Since we're here to admire the moon, let's make the most of it. Beautiful women, fine wine, medicinal herbs, and tea—all the amenities are provided.

That way, she probably won't look so resentful during every rehearsal, as if I owe her something.

A tiny third of a pair:

[We could have refused, but Xiaoxiao has contributed the most to the team, running around tirelessly; her contributions are invaluable.]

Su Che has never been stingy with gifts for those who truly prove themselves through their actions, so he will definitely take the initiative to arrange anything Xiao Xiao wants.

One-third spare:

The people who enjoyed the herbal tea last time were Sister Ningning, An Qing, and Gu Zhi.

Miya and Yuan Xiao don't need the medicinal tea, and the others can be satisfied with one serving for a while. I can't give them an unlimited amount. So I'll only keep one as a backup; if that's not enough, I'll come back to Old Master Wang.

Thinking of this, he spoke frankly: "Senior Wang, I would like to know if there is any way to resolve the side effects of the herbal tea."

Since you've already decided to drink it, you should minimize the damage to your body as much as possible. This way, you can drink it gradually and avoid overexerting yourself and depleting your vital energy.

After hearing this, Old Wang, while preparing the medicine, smiled and said with his back to him:

"This medicine has no side effects, as I have already stated."

"Huh? How is that possible? I clearly felt palpitations, neurasthenia, and dizziness... All of this happened after I drank the herbal tea."

"Then let me ask you, did you take full effect immediately after drinking it, until all the medicinal power was used up?"

"All used up?" Su Che realized something.

"Yes."

Old Wang smiled and said, "Only by using up one-third of the medicine's potency at once will it not put a burden on your body due to its excessive strength."

In other words, if you don't utilize your body's energy properly, some "dregs" will remain, and these dregs are the key reason for your restlessness.

"!"

After hearing these words, Su Che finally realized—

"So it turns out that I... used it in stages, causing the drug's effects to accumulate in my body, which is why I felt unwell?"

"of course."

"..."

He rubbed his temples. "Looks like I'll have to adjust the dosage. I can't keep thinking about saving on tea costs..."

He has a good grasp of the cost-effectiveness aspect.

The original plan was to divide the tea into three days, and then have sex with three different people each day, following a route of equal treatment so that everyone would be satisfied.

It seems that a single tea can only be used on one person, ideally for three days at a time. The best target would be a woman like Bai Qiao, who is sexually frustrated.

"Young friend, you seem quite uneasy about the medicine I prescribed. In that case, you could find a target to experiment on. If that doesn't work, I can introduce you to one."

As the person in charge of the teahouse, I have an obligation to prepare a test subject for you. You can only pay the fee after you are completely satisfied.

"?!!"

【no. 】

Su Che thought he was hallucinating.

If I understand correctly...

It seems that Mr. Wang meant that after he paid tens of thousands of yuan, he would provide "test subjects".

Putting aside whether it's compliant or not, Su Che's first reaction was that the other party might not even agree, right?

This is too dangerous. Just thinking about having to inflict extreme torture on someone after drinking three days' worth of herbal tea...

He felt that only white chocolate could handle all of this.

“Old Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I have someone to choose for this. As for your test subjects, we can talk about it later... I don’t need them for now.”

"Ai, young friend, there's no need to worry. The test subject I mentioned is my granddaughter. I saw that you have a good appearance, an extraordinary temperament, and your economic conditions are at a basic level, so I was willing to act as a matchmaker and recommend her to you."

"As long as you agree, you can have her test the effects of all the teas I make from now on. That's no problem at all."

"...This is not a matter of willingness...it seems to be a matter of principle."

Su Che shook his head vigorously, indicating that he had no intention of using outsiders for the time being.

Seeing this, Old Wang did not insist, but stroked his beard and smiled, "Young friend, you will always need something in the future, so it's never too late to ask me."

Without saying anything more, Su Che nodded silently, put the tea bag into his pocket, and transferred Tianhai coins directly to the recipient via QR code.

[You have received a Fetion transfer of 35000 yuan! Please check!]

The payment announcement came over the loudspeaker. Grandpa Wang nodded in satisfaction, personally poured Su Che a cup of tea with a strange color, and handed it to him.

"Young friend Su, try this, it's free."

"Ah... what is this?"

"A new product I developed. Oh, a new tea." Old Wang paused, then said proudly.

"Lucky Tea".

"?!"

Also known as "Heavenly Way Tea".

"Wow... such a big name?"
