Chapter 27: The Wretched Businessman (Please Keep Reading)

"No wonder Miss Miaotong couldn't get up!"

The crowd gasped, suddenly enlightened. They certainly would not admit that they were inferior to others, so they attributed their own shortcomings to the ancestral miracle drug of Zhou Chen.

"By the way, I heard that the young ladies who served the other gentlemen who came with Magistrate Zhou last night couldn't get up either. Could it be..."

A middle-aged regular customer with a thin mustache slapped his thigh and said in realization, "Could it be that they also used Magistrate Zhou's ancestral miracle drug?"

Er Mazi chimed in, "I heard that Magistrate Zhou gave the miracle drug to those gentlemen as gifts last night!"

"So that's it!"

The crowd suddenly understood and immediately became interested in Zhou Chen's miracle drug. After all, it was something the Magistrate had used. What was this called? This was the celebrity effect!

Zhang Long thought to himself, "I didn't even use it!"

Wild Dog took the opportunity to take out a medicine bottle, waved it in front of the crowd, and said triumphantly, "Do you know how I know all this? Because I discovered that Magistrate Zhou has opened a pharmacy!"

The man with the mustache eyes lit up, staring at the small medicine bottle, and asked curiously, "Could this be Magistrate Zhou's ancestral miracle drug?"

"That goes without saying!" Wild Dog gently stroked the small bottle as if caressing the delicate skin of a beauty, and pointed to the three large characters on it. "See? This is the name Magistrate Zhou gave his ancestral miracle drug. What do you think? Impressive, right?"

"Yang Ding Tian?" The mustache man looked at the three characters on the bottle and exclaimed, "It is indeed impressive! Young man, where did you buy this, and how much is it?"

This question from the mustache man voiced everyone's inner thoughts. The surrounding customers gathered around, pricking up their ears. This concerned their future sexual happiness.

"Just a few dozen meters next to the Snow Moon Pavilion. The shop is called Yang Ding Tian. A bottle like this costs two hundred wen and contains ten pills. It's a great deal! Even those with kidney deficiency can regain their vigor after taking it. However, it's closed now, so if you want to buy it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!"

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Today, I'm going to take on ten!" Wild Dog boasted, looking as if he were ready to book ten girls.

"Wait, young man!" The mustache man called out to Wild Dog, smiling broadly. "Young man, you only need one pill today. I'll give you thirty wen; how about selling me one to try?"

"Fine, you seem like a decent guy, so I'll sell you one!" Wild Dog took a small golden pill from the bottle, handed it to the mustache man, and took the thirty wen.

In truth, they had come today specifically to promote the product. However, giving it away for free would make people look down on it. That was why Zhou Chen had instructed them to promote it in this manner.

"Young man, I'll buy one too. Here's thirty wen!"
"Young man, give me one as well!"

With the mustache man leading the way, other customers began to make offers. The two bottles that Wild Dog and Er Mazi brought, containing a total of twenty pills, were not enough to meet the demand of so many people, but Zhou Chen had solemnly instructed them not to sell too many. They needed to create hype. Scarcity breeds value.

As a result, after selling ten pills, the two raised the price, letting the highest bidder win. The last ten pills sold for a total of five taels of silver—five hundred wen per pill. Those who didn't get one looked full of regret, their curiosity about Yang Ding Tian growing even stronger. Those who did buy them were incredibly excited. Men like the mustache man, who bought theirs first for only thirty wen, felt like they had made a huge profit. Others tried to buy from them, but they refused to sell. Their vanity was strongly satisfied, and they headed upstairs, triumphant, ready to display their newfound prowess.

Thus, the little pill "Yang Ding Tian" sold by Zhou Chen became an instant hit at the Snow Moon Pavilion. The customers were abuzz with discussion. Newcomers who heard the chatter became curious, and after some questioning, they too learned the famous name of Zhou Chen's Yang Ding Tian.

Wild Dog and Er Mazi saw that the Snow Moon Pavilion was abuzz with talk and grinned from ear to ear.

"Brother Chen is truly amazing. Now that the shop opens tomorrow, won't it be sold out instantly?" Wild Dog said with a look of worship.

"Brother Chen is a man meant for great things. As long as we cling tightly to his coattails, is a bright future far off?" Er Mazi said, his eyes filled with excitement. "We must handle the tasks Brother Chen gave us well; we must never be careless and ruin it!"

"Right, let's head back. Tomorrow will be a busy day!" Wild Dog nodded heavily. The two returned to the Yang Ding Tian shop, checked everything once more, and only after ensuring there were no issues did they close the doors and windows to rest.

"Brother Chen, can this medicine really sell?" Qin Hongyu was still a bit worried. They had already invested quite a bit of silver; if it didn't sell, it would be a huge loss.

"Don't worry, it will definitely sell!" After saying this, Zhou Chen leaned down and captured Qin Hongyu's soft, red lips, blocking the words she was about to say.

The night grew heated. The room was filled with spring passion. Qin Hongyu lost all energy to let her mind wander.

...

The Snow Moon Pavilion remained brightly lit throughout the night. Countless figures, having been busy all night, emerged from their rooms with high spirits. The middle-aged man with the mustache adjusted his belt, his face glowing, appearing extremely pleased with himself.

"You look in good spirits, brother!" Seeing the mustache man, several figures in the lounge who seemed to have been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward, asking lewdly, "It seems Magistrate Zhou's medicine is quite effective?"

The mustache man raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, "Effective? It's absolutely amazing!" He gestured animatedly, speaking incessantly. "Before, I would always be sore and achy after coming here, but now, my waist doesn't ache, my back doesn't hurt, and my legs don't cramp. My whole body feels indescribably comfortable. Two words..."

"Powerful!"

As he spoke, the mustache man suddenly remembered something and muttered, "I must hurry and buy a few more bottles. It would be a disaster if they sold out!" He ignored everyone else and sprinted outside, his pace remarkably swift.

"How impressive!" Watching the mustache man's vigorous gait, everyone knew he wasn't lying. Zhou Chen's medicine was truly powerful. Otherwise, the mustache man would have been lucky to crawl out rather than walk!

A woman's waist is a blade that scrapes the bone. Did they really think the girls at the Snow Moon Pavilion were pushovers? They were man-eating spirits! More formidable than the Lion Spirit of Lion Camel Ridge. A lion spirit could swallow one hundred thousand celestial soldiers in a single bite, but they...

The next moment, the crowd dispersed, all rushing out of the Snow Moon Pavilion. Similar scenes were playing out all over the establishment. It wasn't just the mustache man who had received the medicine last night; there were twenty people in total.

As a result, the once lively Snow Moon Pavilion quickly became deserted, leaving the madam, Sister Hong, who had just emerged from her room, in a state of bewilderment.

"Where are the people?"
"Where are all my customers?"
"Madam, they all went to buy Magistrate Zhou Chen's ancestral miracle drug!"
"Is it really that miraculous?"

Sister Hong couldn't help but think of how Miaotong and Miaoyu were almost broken by Zhou Chen, and she nodded secretly to herself. "No wonder Master Zhou is so fierce; so he was taking medicine!"

Zhou Chen: "How can you slander someone out of thin air?"

"But if Master Zhou's medicine is that potent, wouldn't the girls in my Snow Moon Pavilion be..." Sister Hong froze, then sighed, "This is truly miserable!"
