Chapter 9 – Surprise Midnight
Hua Shi gave up after she ran out of idea how to convince her parents .
"Oh my! Does she has that interest already?"
Zhan Ru spoke . She was amused by her daughter . Hua Shi was fidgeting, then panicking then sighed .
"Hmm? What interest?" Hua Tuo asked .
"Silly dear . She is growing up . "
"Ho? What do you mean growing up? She's only 15 if I remember correctly . "
"Girls grow up faster than boys, dear . Say, what do you think of that boy?"
"Zhang Tong? I wanted him as my disciple but he said he had other plans . "
"Well, how about not taking him as a disciple, but taking him as a son-in-law . "
"What!?"
"Isn't he a good prospect for our daughter? He has potentials . He has the eloquence and the business mind . His look is quite good too . I saw him sneaking glances at our Shi'er as well . "
"Now that you mentioned it …"
From Hua Tuo's point of view, Tong has the potential to bee a successful merchant . Tong seemed smarter than other kids around his age . Also his health and his look was superb, too .
As a father, he didn't like the idea of entrusting his only precious daughter to any man, let alone a young boy . But Tong seemed indeed like a good prospect .
Tong's father, Zhang Jiao, was a well-known healer shaman, which had quite a respectable status . And Tong himself had great potentials . He could run business at this age . Then if he grew up more, what height could he reach?
"I'll visit his father and we'll talk about this again . A pity that he wasn't here today . "
Hua Tuo lamented . He also wanted to discuss and exchange some medical knowledge with Zhang Jiao .
Hua Tuo and his family left the Zhang resident and booked the inn to rest for the night . They planned to e back to find Zhang Jiao tomorrow .
. . .
Meanwhile, Tong was leading his servants carrying several pots into his warehouse .
Tong could not stop smiling . Today, he traded dozen boxes of soaps for Hua Tuo's famous anesthetic, the Mafeisan Anesthetic Liquor .
The Mafeisan Anesthetic Liquor disappeared along with Hua Tuo's death . The position of the anesthetic was unknown . Several historians had countless debates of what was in the true formula and had never yet concluded which one was the correct one .
But now, Tong had acquired several pots at once . He was planning to save it for his future cause during the rebellion uprising .
'Hua Tuo said it has to be stored with the cover sealed shut, store it under the roof and not being bathed in sunlight, but not stored in a high temperature area . '
'The basic is similar to the modern medicines . But I doubt if these anesthetic can last three more years . '
'The modern medicines usually expired in one year to five years . But it can still be used in one or two years after the expiration date but the effect will be minimized . '
'I'll just save it here for emergency . It's never too early to be prepared . '
Tong was busy arranging the goods in his warehouse till night . He had a dinner, then he returned to his room for a nap, waiting for a new mission at midnight .
The missions, issued by the system, always appeared on every midnight on January 1st . It showed up once a year, and each year the content would be different . Tong had experienced dealing with the missions many times already .
He had pleted 13 missions out of 15 mission he had received during these 15 years he was living in this world .
The missions he pleted could be called "Trolling Missions" or "Sexual Harassment Missions" .
He was forced to do something absurd, for example, "Strip yourself naked and run around a village
