Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 41 Heading to the Jin Family Compound

Eight o'clock in the morning.

After finishing his morning work, Liu Hongchang left the cafeteria on time and went to the place He Guixiang mentioned.

On the way, he took a jar of diluted Cynomorium songaricum wine from the space and turned to the Jin family compound.

The Jin Family Courtyard is a two-story courtyard house located in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle of the alley.

The owner of the yard is an old Chinese doctor named Jin Yitan.

Not only did he have superb medical skills, he also cured countless difficult diseases with his secret "Golden Elixir of Regeneration", and became famous.

Jin Yitang had no sons but two daughters, named Jin Xiu and Jin Zhi, both of whom were beautiful as flowers.

It was when Liu Hongchang went to buy Chinese medicine that he came here and activated the "Imperial City" plot, which made him have some ideas.

If he wanted to sell medicinal wine, he couldn't just get it out of thin air, nor could he just beat up someone to pretend to be a master. Jin Yitan was just right.

Jin Yitang's medical skills are well-known throughout the country, and many people from all over the country come to him to ask him to treat their illnesses.

Just take the "Rejuvenating Pill" once and you will see immediate results. It is truly magical.

It can treat stroke paralysis, hemiplegia, facial paralysis, excessive phlegm and qi deficiency, slurred speech, edema of the feet and knees, difficulty walking, muscle and bone pain, and cramps in the hands and feet caused by wind-phlegm blocking the meridians.

The last time he bought Chinese medicine from him, Liu Hongchang chatted with Jin Yitang for a while and found that he was not a conservative person.

So he revealed that his ancestors had a secret recipe for making wine, which had a very magical effect.

Although Jin Yitang is a skilled doctor, he misses his son so much that he is crazy about it. However, due to his old age, he is powerless to help.

After hearing what Liu Hongchang said about the effects, he was skeptical but extremely enthusiastic and said he would let him try it no matter what.

Rende Hutong has low eaves and green tiles and gray walls.

Liu Hongchang arrived at the gate of the Jin family compound, got out of the car, and met a girl in a white coat.

This is Jin Yitang’s eldest daughter, Jin Xiu, who is about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. She has bright eyes, white teeth, is delicate and beautiful, and has a tall and graceful figure.

"Is Lao Jin here?" Liu Hongchang asked with a smile.

Jin Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked around, nodded, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Yes, I think you were here a few days ago."

She is consistent in her appearance and character. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also extremely considerate, gentle, kind and generous.

"Well, my name is Liu Hongchang. I came here a few days ago to make an appointment with your father." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

Jin Xiu smiled slightly, turned around and led the way, and said with a faint smile: "My dad happens to be free, come with me!"

Liu Hongchang followed, pushing his bicycle, and asked, "Is your sister not here today?"

Jin Xiu's sister Jin Zhi is a Peking Opera actress. She is extremely beautiful and has a personality that is the opposite of Jin Xiu's, being lively and straightforward.

"Well, the song and dance troupe has a performance, so she's busy." Jin Xiu put her hands in the pocket of her white coat and replied with a smile.

When they arrived at the yard, Liu Hongchang leaned his bicycle against the wall, then followed Jin Xiu carrying the net bag.

The back house in the front yard was converted into a medicine shop, and you can smell the scent of Chinese medicine from far away.

"Dad, Liu Hongchang is here." After entering the pharmacy, Jin Xiu reminded with a smile.

Jin Yitang is in his fifties, with a slicked-back hair and a long white beard. He looks energetic, wears a pair of large reading glasses, and sits behind the counter reading a book.

Hearing the noise, he looked up and remembered who Liu Hongchang was, so he quickly stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Are you here?"

"I'm here. I have something to discuss with you." Liu Hongchang nodded, went straight to the point, and gave him a look.

Jin Yitang said to Jin Xiu in a friendly manner: "Jin Xiu, you go and wait outside. If anyone comes, tell them that I am busy for the time being."

"I got it, Dad." Jin Xiu responded with a faint smile, turned around and walked out of the pharmacy, closing the door behind her.

Liu Hongchang lifted up the net bag and said with a smile, "Find a cup and take a sip first to see if I am bragging."

"I must try it." Jin Yitang said impatiently, walked around the counter and quickly found a small wine glass.

Liu Hongchang opened the jar of wine, and waves of fragrance wafted to his face. Jin Yitan's eyes lit up and his mouth began to salivate: "Pour more." "One or two ounces is enough! You should take it easy at your age." Liu Hongchang said with a smile, poured the wine and stepped aside.

Jin picked up the wine glass, put it to his nose and smelled it. He was refreshed and nodded with satisfaction. The wine smelled good.

Then I drank it in one gulp. It was not as spicy as I had imagined, but rather light and refreshing. It went down my throat smoothly, leaving a lingering fragrance in my mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste!

"Good wine!" Although it has no effect yet, the taste of this wine alone is enough to make people think about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicinal wine entered his stomach, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body, making him feel warm and indescribably comfortable.

Jin Yitan's face was flushed, and there was a gleam of light in his turbid eyes. He was very excited. He slowly closed his eyes and felt it silently.

At this moment, his heart, lower abdomen, and waist were exceptionally warm, and his thoughts, which had been somewhat sluggish due to his age, became exceptionally clear.

In a short moment, he was like a dead tree coming back to life, and instantly gained confidence.

And he also realized that this was not a flash in the pan, but a continuous energy that supported the thoughts in his heart.

"Good stuff!" Jin opened his eyes and said to Liu Hongchang with a sharp gaze, "Sit down for a while. I'll be back soon."

Without waiting for Liu Hongchang to reply, he ran out.

"Hehe, this old guy." Liu Hongchang smiled, sealed the wine jar and put it on the counter.

At this time, Jin Xiu walked in and asked curiously, "What happened to my dad? He has never lost his temper like this before."

"Come here, I'll tell you something in secret." Liu Hongchang said with a wicked smile.

Jin Xiu curled her lips, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

Liu Hongchang leaned close to her ear and smelled a faint scent of snowflake powder, mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl, which was particularly pleasant.

"Don't blow, it's a little itchy." Jin Xiu tilted her head and said shyly, her pretty face flushed.

Liu Hongchang stretched out his hand and hugged her waist. Jin Xiu was startled and tried to resist, but Liu Hongchang held her tightly and threatened:
"Don't move. You don't want anyone to hear or see you, do you?"

"Well, you are so bad!" Jin Xiu glared at him. She was full of concerns and didn't dare to be stubborn.

Liu Hongchang looked at her clear eyes and rosy lips and nodded, "I didn't say I'm a good person!"

Then he slowly lowered his head and gently pecked Jin Xiu's lips.

The two of them smelled each other's breath. Jin Xiu was flustered and at a loss. She just sat in Liu Hongchang's arms and let him bite her.

Jin Xiu was extremely frightened and felt dizzy. Gradually, she discovered that Liu Hongchang smelled very good and soon she became lost.

After a long while, the two separated.

Jin Xiu's clear eyes were full of affection, watery and expressive, her little face was rosy, and she looked charming and naive.

She bit her lip, raised her little face, and said shyly, "My dad wants to recruit a live-in son-in-law."

"No, I'm married." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiu felt as if struck by lightning. His face instantly turned pale, his bean-sized eyeballs dripped, and he said in grief and anger:

"You're married, why are you still messing with me, wuwu..."

"Who made you so beautiful?" Liu Hongchang hugged her and said, then lowered his head and kissed her again.

"Wuwu... I won't give it to you... Wuwu... Sip it gently." Jin Xiu was stubborn for a few seconds, but finally couldn't bear to refuse.

Suddenly, she pressed Liu Hongchang's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "You want to humiliate me, don't you?"

"I really like you!" Liu Hongchang looked at her tenderly and said, pulling her hand away and reaching out to her.

Jin Xiu's heart was in a mess, but she didn't try to stop him. She leaned in Liu Hongchang's arms without saying a word, biting her lips gently, and breathing sweetly.

This was the first time in her life that she heard a man say to her face that he liked her, but when she thought about the fact that Liu Hongchang was married, she didn't know what to do.
