Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng bought a purple clay medicine jar at a nearby supermarket and originally planned to drive directly back to Fontainebleau.
But halfway through the drive, Su Wan remembered that many of the flowers at home were about to wither, so she went to the flower shop with Jiang Xuecheng again and bought many flowers in full bloom.
After returning home, Jiang Xuecheng volunteered to take on the task of decocting the medicine, while Su Wan put the newly bought flowers into the vase one by one.
Perhaps because she was used to seeing Jiang Xuecheng's flower arrangements, Su Wan held the crape myrtles and platycodons she had just bought in her hands. She arranged them in many shapes, but still felt it was not satisfactory.
Su Wan frowned. She recalled Jiang Xuecheng's previous way of arranging flowers, and simply followed his idea to arrange the flowers one by one.
When Su Wan saw the flower arrangement she had just made, the corners of her lips curved slightly like a crescent moon. She reached out her hand and gently stroked the petals of the crape myrtle.
Although it is not as good as the flower arrangement made by Jiang Xuecheng, it is still pretty good and has a bit of charm.
Su Wan thought that she should buy a book on modern flower arrangement art to recharge herself.
Suddenly, Su Wan heard a rumbling sound in her stomach.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment. She looked up at the wall clock in the study and realized that it was already half past six in the evening.
Su Wan, who was starving, immediately walked out of the study and quickly went to the kitchen.
Su Wan had just stepped into the corridor and had not yet reached the kitchen when she smelled the bitter aroma of Chinese medicine from a distance.
Su Wan was shocked. Why did it taste so bitter before even drinking it
How about adding a few pieces of rock sugar to the Chinese medicine to remove the bitterness
Su Wan stood outside the glass door of the kitchen and saw Jiang Xuecheng busy preparing Chinese medicine for her.
The man lifted the purple clay medicine pot with his slender fingers and poured the decocted medicine into a transparent glass cup.
In the glass, the dark brown potion was still bubbling, and the color looked a bit creepy.
Is this ready? Such a big cup...
Su Wan secretly swallowed his saliva, and his expression suddenly became a little difficult.
Because Xie Lan liked Chinese medicine, Su Wan drank Chinese medicine for a period of time when she was a child.
That feeling is unforgettable for a lifetime.
Therefore, when Su Wan grew up, she chose to see a Western doctor, and it was best to take the Western medicine with a sugar coating to avoid a bitter taste in the mouth.
Jiang Xuecheng had heard Su Wan's footsteps a long time ago. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Wan casually.
"Wanwan, your medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot."
Su Wan's face fell, and she looked at Jiang Xuecheng pitifully: "Xuecheng, it's so hot, how can I drink it while it's hot?"
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan, then he put the glass bottle into the tray and handed the tray to Su Wan.
"Wait two or three minutes for it to cool down a little, and then drink it directly. Otherwise, it will be more bitter when it gets cold."
It will be more bitter when it is cold...
Su Wan was shocked by Jiang Xuecheng's words. Her expression changed and she hesitated for two seconds before taking the plate.
"Okay, Wanwan, take this and go out first. I'll make you dinner. It will be ready soon. If you don't drink that cup of Chinese medicine, you won't be able to eat tonight."
The tone seemed threatening, but it contained a kind of tenderness that was difficult to conceal.
Su Wan nodded. She looked solemnly at the glass on the tray, as if she was facing a great enemy.
How can we solve it quickly
Su Wan brought the cup of Chinese medicine back to the living room. She held her chin with both hands and stared at the brown-yellow Chinese medicine in a daze.
The hot steam from the medicinal soup rose into the air, and Su Wan even felt that the whole room was filled with this smell.
No, I'd better drink it as soon as possible. Like Jiang Xuecheng said, this medicine will be harder to drink if it gets cold...
Su Wan prepared himself mentally for a long time before finally picking up the glass and taking a big gulp.
Su Wan wanted to finish it in one breath, but within half a second after the Chinese medicine entered his mouth, Su Wan felt a bitter taste spreading between his lips and teeth!
sky!
Su Wan's beautiful facial features changed color repeatedly. She quickly swallowed the Chinese medicine she had just taken, and then subconsciously put the glass back on the table.
It’s really bitter…
Su Wan's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. She was a little doubtful whether she could finish drinking the cup of Chinese medicine.
It was too hard to drink, and the taste of Coptis chinensis was the first to overwhelm Su Wan's taste buds...
Just when Su Wan was feeling melancholy, Jiang Xuecheng came out with two bowls of dishes, one was minced meat and eggplant, the other was stir-fried green vegetables.
Jiang Xuecheng saw the glass bottle full of Chinese medicine and was about to ask Su Wan if she didn't drink it. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the dark brown medicine juice at the corner of Su Wan's lips and instantly realized that this girl gave up after taking a small sip!
Jiang Xuecheng smiled helplessly, then walked over quickly and placed the two dishes on the nanmu table.
"Wanwan, I've already finished cooking, and you only drank a little. Isn't that too perfunctory?"
"I don't want to either..."
If she could, she wished she would have finished the cup of Chinese medicine!
Su Wan had a bitter face. She quickly glanced at the two dishes on the table and then looked at Jiang Xuecheng steadily.
"Didn't you promise to make me something delicious?"
"There is also a dish of braised deer meat in yellow sauce, which has not been served in the kitchen yet."
Jiang Xuecheng's deep voice entered Su Wan's ears, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She doesn't have any other hobbies except that she is greedy. She is a real meat lover. Deer meat is tender and delicious, and Jiang Xuecheng's cooking skills are very good. It goes without saying that it must be delicious!
With such delicious food in front of him, how could Su Wan let it go
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan calmly with stars in her eyes. The corners of his lips curved up, and his smile was calm and light, but it carried a hint of malice.
"Wanwan, if you don't finish the cup of Chinese medicine, don't even think about eating the deer meat. Oh, don't eat the minced meat and eggplant either. Just eat the green vegetables."
"Xuecheng, how can you bear to let me eat vegetarian food?"
Su Wan glanced at the green vegetables that looked shiny and juicy but not juicy at all, and her heart tightened.
"I mean what I say. I'm not kidding you."
Hearing Su Wan's plea for mercy, Jiang Xuecheng was in a very happy mood, and the smile on the corner of his lips was as light as the spring breeze.
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng picked up the cup of Chinese medicine and handed it directly to Su Wan.
"Wan Wan, a short pain is worse than a long one. It's just a cup of Chinese medicine. It will only do good to your body, not harm."
Su Wan thought of the Huangmen deer meat that was still in the kitchen, and finally she hardened her heart, snatched the glass, and poured the medicine into her mouth.
However, when the bitter taste came, even though her mind told Su Wan to drink it all in one gulp, she subconsciously felt it was so bitter that she even felt like spitting out the medicine.
Su Wan frowned tightly. She forced herself to drink one third of the drink, but the bitter taste in her mouth was really unbearable for her!
[Happy New Year's Eve, everyone~~]
