China’s Magical Oil
At the mention of mysterious ancient Egypt, many Chinese people immediately spouted a series of sensational rumors, such as the curse of the pyramid, endless treasure, the resurrected mummy.
Similarly, when many Westerners mentioned China, they had many unrealistic fantasies. For example, the Chinese were all martial arts masters or table tennis masters with tied braids behind their heads, and other stereotypes.
Modern Egyptians were kind of considered Westerners, but Egypt’s economic level and urban style were basically equivalent to that of China in the 1990s or so. Few Chinese tourists went to Egypt, so their impression of ancient China was more exaggerated than what Chinese people thought of ancient Egypt.
In other countries, Richard’s trick may not have deceived people, but because of the magical impression of the cooling ointment and the fantasies of ancient China, the Egyptians really bought it!
Zhang Zian could not understand Richard’s conversation with the six Egyptian men, but he could read the greed on their faces.
But he was very troubled. How had Richard managed to make them feel greedy? Could it have been this Pinduoduo’s explosive-level cooling ointment?
Richard was chattered by Zhang Zian all the way to make sure that it could not speak without hindrance, so as not to offend the local customs. It had already been chattered by him till it was impatient. It had just so happened that those people were unjust first. Was it not wrong for him to play tricks on them?
“Since we have such an affinity and are friends, I’ll tell you another secret!” it said, pretending to be mysterious. “I’m telling you guys, besides expelling mosquitoes, clearing away heat, and relieving summer heat and indulgence, the emperor’s version of cooling ointment has an ultimate effect. I wouldn’t tell the ordinary person!”
The six Egyptian men, whose appet.i.te had grown higher, said impatiently, “What is the ultimate effect? The friends.h.i.+p between China and Egypt will last forever. Let this cooling ointment be a witness to the friends.h.i.+p between the Chinese and Egyptian people!”
Richard saw that they were all in a hurry to start grabbing. Knowing that they could not hold back anymore because they were already very interested, he whispered, “This is started with Cixi’s husband. Do you know who Cixi’s husband is? The Emperor of China? Isn’t that obvious? Let me tell you, her husband is the Xianfeng emperor. You may feel that the name is unfamiliar, but it’s okay. You just need to know that he was a greedy emperor. This emperor of China had 72 concubines in three palaces and six courtyards and 3,000 beautiful women in the back palace. As a result, the Xianfeng emperor overindulged and the iron pestle was ground into embroidery needles. How unlucky is he to see so many beautiful girls but not be able to eat them?”
Six men showed unspoken smiles, winked, and made signs at each other.
“And after that?” they asked.
Richard continued: “Later, Cixi appeared. There are seven levels in the Chinese Imperial Palace. It took Cixi only five years to get ahead. She leaped from the fifth level to the second level. What was the reason? It was the emperor’s cooling ointment!”
The six men seemed to have understood. “Could it be…”
“That’s right! The ultimate effect of this emperor’s version of cooling oil is to solve your unspeakable hidden problems, prolong fighting time, increase the intensity of the fighting, and let you revive the male spirit!” cried Richard.
Zhang Zian mechanically copied Richard’s words with his mouth shapes. Before he could recover, he saw the big Arab men stretching out their hands hurriedly and robbing several bottles of cold oil from his hands, carrying them in their arms like treasures, and even guarding against each other vigilantly.
The f*ck?
What kind of situation was this?
Zhang Zian was shocked. His fingers had almost been bent and broken by these few people.
He was speechless for a moment, but since all the cooling oil he wanted to give out had already been given out, there was no need to stay any longer. Besides, Fina was impatient, and her anger rose one point with every minute of hunger.
“Wait, wait! Wait, wait!”
He turned and wanted to go, but he heard someone behind him murmuring to him. He thought it was the guys who had found out that this cooling ointment was not actually cooling ointment and wanted to beat him. They were just about to pull out their legs and run away. They heard Richard whisper, “Stop, you idiot!”
He could not understand, so he stopped walking.
Those few men ran over, pointed at the cooling ointment, and asked, “All the words here are Chinese, and we can’t understand. How do we use it so that we can…increase our manly power?”
Zhang Zian could not understand, and Richard answered, “Have you heard of Indian divine oil? What? Never heard of it? Well, using it is the same as Indian divine oil. Just put it there. Don’t be greedy—just a thin layer. The effect of the Chinese Emperor’s version of the cool oil is 100 times stronger than that of the Indian divine oil. That sour and good feeling…heh.”
Several men understood that it was like they’d hit the jackpot. They did not smoke cigarettes, drink black tea, or play mahjong anymore and dispersed in a hurry. They would go home or find a woman to test the effect.
Now, suddenly, Zhang Zian was left alone. He was at a loss and carrying a silver water pipe.
“You idiot! What are you doing standing here?” Richard said, patting his head with his wings. “Hurry up and run! When they come back, I’m sure your chrysanthemums will be rotated into sunflowers—if they can come back, my uncle estimates that they won’t be able to get on the ground for at least one day!”
When Zhang Zian heard it, he knew that this b*tch bird had made trouble again. He just did not know what kind of trouble.
Anyway, a wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. Even if he wanted to teach Richard a lesson, he must leave here first.
He beckoned the elfins to leave together, bypa.s.sed several alleys, and came to a relatively quiet place before he stopped to ask Richard about what had happened.
Richard talked about how it had heard that they were planning on cheating Zhang Zian because they felt that Chinese tourists would not dare to make trouble and were easy to bully, until it told them the reason why they left in a hurry.
Zhang Zian and the elfins all felt very speechless after they heard it.
Old Time Tea grinned. “The wicked have their own wicked downfall,” he said. “Richard’s actions are very good. He punished them slightly so that they could know that we are of a great country with its own capable people. Henceforth, they dare not underestimate the world! When we first met, this person always thought that their appearance was faithful but cunning, and their behavior seemed warm, but it was hypocritical. I wanted to remind you, but I was worried that the faces and actions of the people here might naturally be like that. So, I did not say much. I have bad judgment.”
The rest of the elfins all praised Richard’s ability to adjust to changing circ.u.mstances.
“Gah! My smartness and talents have finally been realized!” Richard started to jump up and down between Zhang Zian’s head and shoulders, extremely excited.
“Don’t praise it any more. Its tail is already up in the sky, can’t you see?” he said helplessly. “But anyway, we aren’t staying here for a few days. In this he vast sea of people, even if they wanted to find someone, they couldn’t find us. We can just pay more attention in the future… Now let’s find a place to eat.”
