You're Not Being Straight with Me

"Damn. Doctors get sick too."

Su Zang smiled and said, "You can drink it when you're not taking your medicine!"

Su Ziyang's reason was reasonable, and Su Zang did not urge Su Ziyang to drink.

A young man next to him, his face flushed from drinking, lit up when he heard that Su Ziyang was a doctor. He raised his glass and said, "Hey, brother, you're a doctor, let me toast you. Can I ask you a question?"

Su Ziyang clinked teacups with him and nodded. "What's the problem?"

"Brother, could you get us some aphrodisiacs? I've been feeling a bit weak lately."

The young man showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and said quite casually, "Could you give me some, like Viagra or something?"

"How old are you? You're already feeling weak?" Su Ziyang chuckled, thinking the man was joking.

Haha, really, bro!

Seeing that this was no joke, Su Ziyang Su Ziyang, "I practice traditional Chinese medicine, and there are no aphrodisiacs in traditional Chinese medicine."

"Oh, oh!" Upon hearing Su Ziyang's words, the young man nodded. "By the way, brother, we all use this to enhance male potency now. Do you think there's any scientific basis for it?"

What should I use?

This guy was a bit tipsy, but he was surprisingly tough, leaving Su Ziyang completely bewildered.

Su Ziyang has met many experts, and sometimes he starts to think that everyone is an expert.

After hearing what the young man said, Su Ziyang wondered if the young man had some kind of special skill, and thought he should learn it from him.

As a result, the young man shouted out and the waiter brought him three raw eggs.

Then, with a crack, crack, crack, three eggs were smashed into a beer mug, poured in some ice-cold beer, and downed it in one gulp!

This surprised Su Ziyang: "Won't drinking like this give you diarrhea?"

"Well--"

The young man hiccuped and waved his hand. "No, no. Let me tell you, brother, this works incredibly well. I do it like this every time, and it works amazingly well! Even though you're a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, brother, I'm going to teach you my secret technique today!"

"Get out of here! You're teaching people special skills?! You didn't even finish elementary school!"

A chubby young man next to her chimed in, hurling a few insults at the woman. "Hey sis, give me four eggs. I need some nourishment!"

Before long, Su Ziyang watched as the group of people drank about ten eggs raw.

Su Ziyang's assessment of this behavior can be summed up in two words: "It's in his nature!"

Why didn't you know, you hiding?

Su Ziyang found it a little strange that Su Zang hadn't followed suit and drunk two eggs.

"I can't come. I drank it once last time, and it made me feel nauseous for half the night. I can't handle it, I can't handle it."

Su Zang waved his hand.

After saying that, Su Zang suddenly stared at Su Ziyang for a while, making Su Ziyang a little puzzled. "Why are you looking at me?"

Su Zang squinted at Su Ziyang and said, "You're not being honest right now!"

Su Zang's words stunned Su Ziyang: "What the heck? What do you mean? Zang?"

"When that kid asked you if you had any aphrodisiacs, you said you did, but you weren't willing to give them to him."

As if he had discovered some secret, Su Zang spoke to Su Ziyang in a low, mysterious tone.

"Huh?" Su Ziyang exclaimed in confusion, "What did you say? I don't quite understand!"

"Damn it, stop pretending with me!" Su Zang rolled his eyes at Su Ziyang: "What did you have your dad give my Second Brother and Sixth Brother today? Wasn't it some medicinal wine to enhance their virility?!"

"Ah!"

Su Ziyang thought about it carefully and realized he was in trouble. It wasn't that the recipe was a secret or that they didn't want Su Zang to know; it was because these people definitely thought the medicinal wine he was talking about was an aphrodisiac.

The problem is that this stuff doesn't actually have any aphrodisiac effect; on the contrary, it has the effect of astringing and preserving semen after drinking it.

The purpose is to replenish vital energy, thereby fundamentally improving a person's health.

In other words, it means nourishing the roots of the tree, not embellishing its flowers.

But that's where the misunderstanding lies. Su Zang is now treating this stuff as an aphrodisiac, and judging from his appearance, he's under the influence of alcohol and is clearly taking advantage of himself.

You've got it wrong!

Su Ziyang said helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Su Zang still squinted, glancing sideways at Su Ziyang.

"That wine is just a medicinal wine to increase physical strength and promote health. It's not some kind of aphrodisiac."

Su Ziyang wasn't sure if Su Zang, who was in a daze from drinking, could understand his explanation, or if it would resonate with him.

"Then I need it even more!"

Su Zang threw the lamb skewers he was holding onto the table, grinned, and said with obvious dissatisfaction, "I'm so tired from work every day, I need to drink something to replenish my energy!"

"Haha. Okay. Tomorrow, I'll go with you to get the medicinal herbs and make it for you, okay?"

Su Ziyang didn't want to argue with someone who was drunk, so he quickly agreed.

Upon hearing this, Su Zang immediately perked up again and began chatting idly with his friends...

Su Ziyang Su Ziyang exhausted after the meal. This was the first time since he started school that he felt a distance between himself and his friends who weren't in school. It wasn't a matter of their social standing, but rather that their circles were truly different now.

After returning home, Su Ziyang took a shower, practiced his internal energy twice, and dispersed the smell of smoke and alcohol that had accumulated on his body.

My dad is still awake, hunched over his desk writing calligraphy.

"Dad, your handwriting is even better than mine now!"

Su Ziyang ran over and joked with his dad, then told him about drinking with Su Zang.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Don't go drinking with him again. Lately, Su Zang hasn't been doing anything productive. I heard he got into some kind of mess last month that made your grandma sick!"

Su Ziyang's father was worried about Su Ziyang, so he hadn't slept.

Seeing Su Ziyang return, he put away the calligraphy brush, gave Su Ziyang a few instructions, yawned, and went to sleep.

The next day, Su Zang hadn't forgotten Su Ziyang's promise to help him get the medicine to make medicinal wine. Su Zang called shortly after breakfast.

"Shall we go? I'll come pick you up."

Su Zang said casually on the phone, and Su Ziyang didn't say anything else, just indicating that Su Zang should drive over and pick him up.

When Su Zang arrived, Su Ziyang was washing the dishes.

"Holy crap! Dude, you can even do dishes?! Are you done? Let's go!"

"Wait for me a moment. We'll leave as soon as I'm ready."

After Su Ziyang finished cleaning up the dishes, he followed Su Zang to get some medicinal herbs and buy a wine jar.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

There's only wine; Su Zang doesn't have any.

So Su Zang arranged to take Su Ziyang to buy wine, saying that he knew a shop that sold bulk liquor, and that the wine was very good.

Su Ziyang then bought the wine with Su Zang Su Zang sealed the jars for him.

Su Ziyang thought he had done a good deed, but he never expected that this drinking incident would cause his brothers to completely turn against each other...
