Chapter 152 Beautiful
We had just finished our meal when the neighbor lady came back.
Yan Jingshu had difficulty walking, so Gu Youqing took Tang Xueli with him.
The lady was very tall, about 1.7 meters tall.
But he was very thin, like a walking skeleton.
"Where did this beautiful girl come from? Look at her big eyes and upturned nose. She's so pretty!"
The old lady was smiling, and her whole body was full of the air of homeliness.
She looked at the two women in front of her and said, "Look, you two are standing over here. You are so beautiful. My eyes are in for a treat today!"
"This is Xiaoyan's friend Xueli. I heard that you didn't have a good appetite, so I came to see you." Gu Youqing introduced: "Xueli is a college student at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
The old lady let the two people into the house and poured two glasses of water for them.
"College students are precious!" The old lady waved her hands and said with a smile: "I have no taste for anything. I feel sick easily after eating. I guess it's because I'm old. Nothing works for me. I can drink some noodle soup. I won't starve to death. It's no big deal. For a lazy person like me, it won't be a big loss if I die early."
"Ma'am, can I take your pulse?"
Tang Xueli observed that she looked unwell, and seemed to have a weak spleen and stomach, and insufficient liver qi.
"I am so lucky that a college student wants to feel my pulse."
The wrinkles between the old lady's eyebrows were very deep. Although she loved to laugh, it was obvious that she was a person with a lot on her mind.
The old lady rolled up her sleeves and put her arms on the table. "Girl, please don't look down on me. I'm just skinny and I don't want to scare you."
"Auntie, you are so white!"
Tang Xueli put her fingers on it and carefully felt the pulse for a while.
She has not received professional training in pulse diagnosis, she has studied it on her own and is not professional, but she does not need to prescribe medicine to treat people, so she does not need a very high level for the time being.
Hua Minghe’s previous judgment should not be wrong.
Judging from her pulse and complexion, the old lady is indeed overly worried. She suffers more from mental illness than physical illness.
When they first met, she was not familiar with the old lady and it was not easy for her to ask her what was on her mind.
Eating some delicious medicinal food at this time should have some effect.
Tang Xueli took her hand back and said with a faint smile: "Auntie is not ill. Once your appetite improves, the flesh will grow back."
The old lady laughed and said, "I said it was nothing!"
Tang Xueli did not stay long. After leaving her aunt's house, she said goodbye to Gu Youqing and left.
The next day when she returned to school, except for class time, Tang Xueli stayed in the library looking up information.
Hua Fang also often comes to the library.
He took out a book and just opened it, when out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Tang Xueli sitting in front of the window with a serious expression on her face.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?" He put the book in his hand on the table and sat opposite him.
Tang Xueli raised her eyes to look at him and shook her head gently.
"If you have any questions, you can ask me. If I don't know, I can go back and ask my grandfather. If my grandfather still doesn't know..."
Hua Fang paused and said with a smile: "That would probably be a very difficult subject."
"Thank you, senior." Tang Xueli said, "I'll just take a look."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Hua Fang stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, picked out the book he needed, registered at the library at the door, and left.
Tang Xueli didn't leave until the library closed.
She borrowed two books and originally planned to read them overnight, but then she remembered Mr. Hua's instructions and gave up the idea and went to bed at around eleven o'clock.
There are too many people in the school dormitory, and it is not convenient to disturb each other, so unless there are special circumstances, Tang Xueli goes home to sleep.
Having gone to bed earlier than usual, she woke up before dawn.
She read for two hours before going out for a run.
My mind is clear this morning, and some of the vague ideas I had before have finally become clear.

"Hey, what good thing smells so good?"
Hua Minghe stared at the lunch box in Tang Xueli's hand again and again, and even leaned close to smell it.
"Broth? For me?"
"...No." Tang Xueli asked the old man, "What do you like to eat? I'll bring it to you next time I come to get the medicine."
Hua Minghe: "You do it yourself?"
Tang Xueli nodded.
Hua Minghe thought for a moment and said, "Then I want to eat sweet and sour fish. Can you cook it?"
Tang Xueli stretched out her hand.
Hua Minghe was puzzled, "What do you want?
Tang Xueli said: "Fish tickets, I don't have fish tickets anymore, I can't buy fish."
Hua Minghe clicked his tongue twice, "Forget it, being a fish monster is troublesome."
Tang Xueli: "..."
"Is this broth made for Xiaoyan?"
Smelling the aroma of the broth, Hua Minghe felt a little greedy, "Give me a bowl to try, just a small bowl will do."
"It's not made for Teacher Yan." Tang Xueli said, "I added something in it, you can't drink it."
"Are there any added ingredients?" Hua Minghe sniffed. "There are yam, wolfberry, red dates, hawthorn? I can eat all of them."
"Smell it again." Tang Xueli suddenly wanted to test the old Chinese doctor.
Hua Minghe felt competitive, "Open it and give me a spoonful."
Tang Xueli thought about it and agreed.
After sniffing the small bowl carefully for a while, Hua Minghe named seven kinds of medicinal herbs.
What you said is all right, but not complete.
"There are a few more." Tang Xueli looked like she wanted you to continue guessing.
Hua Minghe closed his eyes, took a small sip, and named three more.
"The last thing left is something you will never guess. It is not a Chinese herbal medicine."
Tang Xueli felt that Hua Minghe was already very powerful.
The sense of smell and taste is absolutely top notch.
It would be impossible to reach this level without decades of research on traditional Chinese medicine.
After taking Yan Jingshu's medicine, she turned around and left, but Hua Minghe refused and blocked her way.
"What's the other thing? If you don't tell me, I'm going to lose sleep."
Tang Xueli smiled and said slowly: "The rice soup made with millet has a lighter taste, probably covered by other flavors."
"You really put a lot of effort into making this pot of soup!"
Hua Minghe's brain turned and he guessed something. "You are making this appetizer soup for Xiaoyan's neighbor, right?"
"Yes! Do you think drinking this soup will be helpful to you?"
Tang Xueli is still very much looking forward to this medicinal food.
Hua Minghe thought for a moment and said cautiously: "It's hard to say. I just took a sip and it tasted very good. There is nothing wrong with the Chinese herbal medicine you bought. At least it won't make people sick!"
"That's fine."
Tang Xueli was afraid that the soup would get cold, so she went out and called a rickshaw and quickly rushed to Yan Jingshu's house.
"Didn't you bring me some buns today? I skipped lunch on purpose."
Yan Jingshu was still in the same posture, reading a book with his legs crossed, and a pen, ink and a pile of draft paper were placed next to his pillow.
There was a large teacup beside the bed, but there was no water in it.
"I'll go get some soup for Auntie first." Tang Xueli put down the medicine and shoulder bag, turned around and went out.
Yan Jingshu: “…”
