126, good medicine is bitter
The sour plum soup is too sour, even if it is appetizing, you can't use too much, just taste it.
After feeding Concubine Qin some sour plum soup, the rest was distributed to Nanny Shen and Eunuch Shao, who naturally praised it repeatedly, saying that the soup was incomparable to the appetizing soup in the palace.
Gu Qianxue didn't know whether the two were being polite or telling the truth, so she took it as the truth and secretly laughed.
The laboratory of Yushengju has progressed to the final stage. Entering the laboratory now is like going back to modern times through time and space again. Although the utensils are not as delicate as the utensils used in modern experiments, although the sparrow is small and complete, the equipment used Everything you need.
After checking everything, Gu Qianxue returned to the Gu Mansion early for the first time, and fell asleep when she got home.
What Gu Qianxue didn't know was that on the same day, there was such a scene in Prince Li's Mansion—
King Li's study.
"My lord, are you alright?" Eunuch Shao hurriedly turned around, "Do you want me to go to the imperial physician?"
I saw the slightly pale-faced Li Wang sitting on a chair, with one hand propping up the table, and the other hand pressing hard on his chest, specifically, his stomach. Because since I drank a bowl of sour plum soup in one breath in the morning, my stomach has faint acid regurgitation.
But he was about to go out and his schedule was tight, so he delayed his lunch due to his busy schedule, and as a result, King Li suffered from a severe stomachache.
Eunuch Shao was so anxious that he couldn't help muttering, "Oh, my lord, you know that you have stomach problems, why are you so angry with Miss Gu to drink so much sour plum soup? Alas, lord, please bear with me, the medicine soup will be available soon. It's done... Oh, my lord, why are you throwing up? Come on! Come on!"
But at this moment, Gu Qianxue was sleeping soundly. She was inexperienced and gave internal energy to Concubine Qin, exhausting all her energy. She slept from the afternoon until the next morning.
Early in the morning, Gu Qianxue went out, carrying the last freshly brewed sour plum soup, and went to the residence of another person who needed this appetizing soup.
Haolan Academy.
When Shopkeeper Su saw Gu Qianxue coming, he was extremely enthusiastic and personally welcomed her into the High Heaven Pavilion.
Since Gu Qianxue forced Su Lingxiao to eat and exercise in the morning and evening, it took almost a week for Su Lingxiao's mental state to improve a lot. Although he was still as thin as before, he didn't feel as sick as usual.
"Look what I brought you." Gu Qianxue held the food box in her hand.
Su Lingxiao put down the book in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "Miss Gu must have brought some rare things that are rare in this world, let's open my eyes with them."
Gu Qianxue sighed helplessly, "Young Master Su, when will you change your habit of flattering people casually, you will be considered a perfect person."
Shopkeeper Su behind him showed embarrassment—his young master still flatters? No matter where the young master goes, he is always sought after, okay? The young master should treat Miss Gu like this, you really don't know how to be blessed when you are in the blessing.
At this moment, Su Lingxiao glanced at Shopkeeper Su indifferently, as if seeing through his mind, and warned him not to talk too much.
Shopkeeper Su quickly suppressed the strange look on his face, "Miss Gu, why did you come here alone today, where are the girls Yulian and Yucui?"
"They do something for me." Gu Qianxue replied while taking out the jar of sour plum soup from the food box, "Did shopkeeper Su eat too much breakfast?"
"Miss Looking Back, I've used the small one. This is...?" Shopkeeper Su asked.
"This soup is called sour plum soup. It is made from licorice, black plum, mint, rock sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar. It is sweet and sour, and has the effect of appetizing and digesting." Gu Qianxue turned to look at Su Lingxiao, "Mr. Su hasn't had breakfast yet. Bar?"
Su Lingxiao frowned slightly, "If I had breakfast, can I have it?"
Gu Qianxue said with a smile, "If you haven't eaten breakfast, use it to appetize; if you have eaten breakfast, use it to digest. Mr. Su, which one do you choose?" As she spoke, she stared at Su Lingxiao with a smile, which became more and more ugly .
But even if Su Lingxiao resisted the sour plum soup again, he was still calm and calm, and he would never lose his composure, and this was what Gu Qianxue admired him most. I practiced with Su Lingxiao several times in the morning, even though Su Lingxiao was exhausted, she still gritted her teeth and refused to lose her composure.
Su Lingxiao gave up after struggling for a while, "Well, I haven't eaten yet, so Miss Gu has to worry about it." As he spoke, he took a bowl of sour plum soup from Gu Qianxue.
The sweet and sour liquid touched Su Lingxiao's thin lips, visible to the naked eye, and his thin body trembled violently.
Gu Qianxue also knew that she was embarrassing him, and explained softly, "Although traditional Chinese medicine has no obvious side effects, it has a fatal flaw, which is that it hurts the appetite. Especially you, most of the herbs you take are alkaline, alkaline Herbal medicine neutralizes stomach acid, which will greatly reduce your appetite, and if you don’t eat properly and exercise less on weekdays, it’s no wonder you’re in good health.”
Su Lingxiao didn't understand what is alkaline and what is acidic, but his strong thirst for knowledge made him temporarily forget his aversion. While drinking sour plum soup, he asked, "What is alkaline? What is acidic?"
Gu Qianxue was a little puzzled, "This category is too big. Acid-base reactions are first performed in the field of chemistry, but now we are using the field of biology." Immediately afterwards, Su Lingxiao explained in detail.
Su Lingxiao's thirst for knowledge was so strong that he was fascinated by what he heard. He can guarantee that, except for Gu Qianxue, none of these theories came up the next day. If someone knew about it before, there must be no records in the books handed down.
Why does Gu Qianxue understand these things that are beyond the realm of ordinary people's cognition? Is this person in front of me really Gu Qianxue herself? Could it be... another identity
Although he was thinking so, Su Lingxiao didn't show it, he still smiled lightly, listened carefully, and drank slowly.
Talking so dryly, Gu Qianxue poured herself a cup, took a sip, only to find that... today's soup was sour.
After all, she didn't cook the soup herself, she told that little girl Yucui.
"Do you feel... sour?" Gu Qianxue asked Su Lingxiao with a guilty conscience. No wonder Su Lingxiao shuddered three times after taking a sip just now.
"It's okay." Su Lingxiao pushed the empty cup over and smiled lightly.
"Ahem..." Gu Qianxue was embarrassed, "Master Su, you understand that good medicine tastes bitter."
Su Lingxiao nodded.
Gu Qianxue turned to shopkeeper Su and said, "I don't know if there is sugar in the kitchen of the academy? White sugar and brown sugar are fine, and some hot water."
Shopkeeper Su didn't understand why. "Okay, Ms. Gu, wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly to prepare.
After shopkeeper Su brought the sugar and hot water, Gu Qianxue started to prepare it again. While adding hot water and sugar, she poured out the prepared soup at any time and tasted it. It took several tries before I readjusted the sour plum soup.
I have complained about Yu Cui many times in my heart—how can this unreliable little girl not even taste the soup? Poor Su Lingxiao drank a whole bowl of sour plum soup that was as sour as old vinegar.
"Master Su, the soup should taste better this time." Gu Qianxue took the freshly baked sour plum soup with complete guilt, ready to be blamed.
But why would Su Lingxiao blame her? Just a faint smile, "Miss Gu is right, good medicine tastes bitter, although the soup just now was a bit sour, but now, I have a great appetite, and I can drink two whole bowls of porridge."
