Chapter 1504 - 1505: Setting Up a Stall
Originally, Yu Peng wanted Lin Chen to stay for a meal, but he sensibly left.
Yu Peng had woken up, and there were many matters to handle at the Hua League, making it inappropriate for Lin Chen to stay there.
After bidding farewell to Yu Peng's family, Lin Chen wandered aimlessly along the street.
This area was full of Chinese streets, where Chinese people and Chinese restaurants were everywhere.
Soon it was noon, and Lin Chen suddenly felt his stomach growling.
"Hungry."
Lin Chen instinctively headed toward a Chinese noodle shop, then remembered he hadn't brought any money.
"Damn, I should have asked Yu Fei for some money before leaving," Lin Chen grumbled a bit.
Going back now would be too embarrassing.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen decided to earn his keep.
He went to a bustling area of the Chinese street.
A lot of vendors were setting up stalls here, selling a variety of goods, including Chinese trinkets and crafts.
Lin Chen found a shady spot to sit down and took out a few small medicine bottles, arranging them on the ground.
"Folks, come and take a look, there are miracle cures here. From headaches and colds to complex illnesses, as long as you're willing to take a look, this Divine Doctor can treat it all."
This place was already lively, and Lin Chen's call attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.
There were many onlookers, but not a single buyer.
"Is this for real? He's so young, could be selling fake medicine."
"Yeah, that's what I think too. If he were a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, why would he be selling medicine in a place like this?"
Just then, a middle-aged man laughed and said, "Young man, stop trying to scam money here; I've seen too many tricks like yours."
Scam money? Lin Chen was a bit disgruntled upon hearing this.
These medicines were painstakingly concocted by him. He wouldn't have sold them if it weren't to fill his stomach.
"Brother, you're almost forty and still don't have any children, am I right?" Lin Chen said with a light smile.
"Huh!" The man's face turned slightly red at Lin Chen's words.
"How did you know that?" the man asked with some frustration.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Of course I know, because I am the Divine Doctor!"
The man was initially stunned, then said, "What good does it do to know? It's not working out with my wife; she can't have children."
Lin Chen chuckled teasingly, "Your inability to have children isn't your wife's fault; it's your problem."
"My problem? That's impossible. Do you know what I do? I'm a boxing coach, fit as a bull. How could it be my problem?" the man said indignantly.
"Kid, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite and will bash your head in," the man said coldly.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "You don't believe what I said. Do you often feel chest tightness at night and also have persistent lower back pain?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen, the man was momentarily stunned: "Yes, how do you know all this?"
Lin Chen continued to smile, "Your complexion is yellowish, indicating a lack of qi and blood. And your eyes are bloodshot, which indicates you frequently visit nightclubs. Of course, in those clubs, you've likely indulged with women more than a little."
"You, what nonsense are you talking?" the man was suddenly flustered at Lin Chen's words.
Lin Chen's words were spot on, as if he was someone close to him.
But at that moment, the man's wife was displeased. She twisted the man's ear and said, "Alright, Big Bull, every day you lie to me about working overtime training students, turned out you were hanging out with women at nightclubs. No wonder we couldn't have children, and you blamed me, making me feel ashamed."
The man clung to his wife's ear, his face grimacing in pain.
Lin Chen looked at this scene, smiling calmly: "Big Sis, you misunderstood this brother here. Although he indulged quite a lot, the inability to have children wasn't due to too many affairs. It's due to his physical issues."
"What? Do you have a solution?" Initially, the man was skeptical of Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen accurately described his situation, forcing him to believe.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Of course there's a solution. This medicine is called Spirit Tea. The reason you can't have children is due to a lack of a certain hormone in your body, leading to incomplete sperm development. Drink my medicine, and I guarantee you'll conceive within a month, and by early next year, you'll be holding a child."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the man and the middle-aged woman beamed with joy.
"Young man, are you telling the truth?" the middle-aged man asked excitedly.
The middle-aged man had been living in Country M for seven or eight years and, despite living in Country M, remained quite traditional.
Of the three duties to parents, not having children is the greatest.
Every day, his parents nagged him to have a child.
However, it wasn't that he didn't want any; he just couldn't have one.
The two had seen many hospitals and undergone lots of tests, but to no avail.
Today, this young man seemed like a lifeline to them.
"Young man, how much is your medicine? I'll take it." The man gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "You're my first customer, so I'll give you a discount, ten thousand."
"Ten thousand?" The man frowned and then gritted his teeth.
"To have a son, I'm willing to go all out. Brother, just wait a moment, I'll go get the money." With that, the man quickly left and soon returned with a wad of cash.
"Brother, I'm buying this medicine." The man directly handed the money to Lin Chen.
When Lin Chen opened it and looked, he was stunned. He had actually quoted the price in RMB, but the man handed him dollars.
Seeing the man so straightforward, Lin Chen laughed and said, "Also, if you want a boy, drink a cup in the morning; if you want a girl, drink it at night. I guarantee a one-hundred percent accuracy rate."
"Really!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, the man was overjoyed.
The man and the middle-aged woman left excitedly, ready to go home and make a baby.
Seeing that someone actually bought Lin Chen's medicine, some of the onlookers became eager to try.
"Sir, I've had a persistent headache lately. Can you take a look?" An older lady pushed through to ask.
"Auntie, your condition doesn't require medication. I'll massage it, and it will be fine." Now that Lin Chen had the money, he didn't plan to continue earning anymore. His objective was to fill his stomach, and having achieved that, he was ready to close his stall.
Lin Chen massaged the older lady's temple for a while, and she showed a surprised expression.
"Oh my goodness, that's amazing. It's really better. Young man, you're truly a little divine doctor," the lady exclaimed in shock.
After Lin Chen's massage, she felt her headache was genuinely relieved.
At this point, others gathered around, each asking Lin Chen to treat their ailments.
"Alright, folks, that's it for today. I'm packing up to go eat," Lin Chen said, seeing more and more people gathering. He hurried away, flustered.
Damn, being handsome is really troublesome. Even setting up a stall can cause a commotion.
Lin Chen finally managed to shake off the crowd, slipping into an alley, only to find someone was still following him.
