Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 39 The Third Plate of Flower Cake

The girl has a beautiful name, Liu Xu.

If you ignore the blemishes on her skin and just look at her facial features, she is definitely a beauty, which complements her name perfectly.But now, when it comes to this name, it is a bit ironic.

From the bright world of singing birds and fragrant flowers, falling into the stinky and muddy swamp, Liu Xu's original lively and cheerful temperament disappeared, and the whole person was timid and introverted.

"Mind if I take a closer look?" In order not to increase the psychological pressure on the girl, although the two sat facing each other, Gu Changsheng deliberately chose the seat farthest from each other.

This is a necessary process for seeing a doctor. If you don't see the affected area clearly, how can you prescribe medicine for treatment.This is what other doctors do.Liu Xu, who didn't know Gu Changsheng's methods, could understand Gu Changsheng's thoughts, but she still didn't dare to let Gu Changsheng see his face clearly.

It took her a lot of courage just to take off the mask in front of the other party.Even though Gu Changsheng hasn't looked at her strangely since seeing her and entering the door, Liu Xu still doesn't dare to let people observe her face closely.

"Is the arm okay?" Liu Xu lowered her head, bit the inner wall of her mouth nervously, and said timidly after a long while.Fearing that Gu Changsheng would not agree, she added as a guarantee: "The symptoms are all the same, at most there is only a difference in severity." The pimples on the arms grew later than the face, so they were not as dense as the face, and looked less serious. scary.

"Really, I didn't lie." She wanted to heal herself more than anyone else.For fear that Gu Changsheng would not believe it, Liu Xu hastily emphasized.

"Of course." It's the same to Gu Changsheng everywhere, there is no difference.

Hearing this, Liu Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her forearm.

Without the cover of the clothes, there are dense red bumps of different sizes and shapes on the arms, just like the skin of a toad, which is terrifying and weird when it grows on a human body.

Gu Changsheng stretched out his hand and pressed the pimple that was so red and swollen that it even had some pus: "Will it hurt?" It stands to reason that the pus-filled pimple should be painful when pressed like this, but Liu Xu didn't seem to feel it.

"It doesn't hurt, basically I don't feel it." Liu Xu didn't feel the pain, but was startled by Gu Changsheng's movement, and she didn't react until the other party took his hand away.

"Well," Liu Xu hesitated for a moment, before asking, "Master Gu, would you like to wash your hands? I don't mind." Even if it was her herself, every night when she took a bath, she would feel so disgusted that she would touch the pimple on her body. , You must turn off the light to have the courage to finish washing, let alone outsiders.

"Then I'll wash my hands first, and I'll get you some snacks." Finding that he didn't wash his hands, the other party was fidgeting all the time, and his eyes would flicker past his hands from time to time. Gu Changsheng thought about it, but he still stood up.

It just so happened that today I made a lot of flower cakes. In addition to offering them to the ancestors, the remaining amount can also be used to entertain guests.

Gu Changsheng made a total of four kinds of flower cakes.Only the petals of the chrysanthemums were a little rare because they were out of season, and the rest of the peonies, jasmines, and roses were in bloom, so Gu Changsheng made more.

Generally, the most common flower cakes on the market are only rose flower cakes, so when many people mention flower cakes, they equate it with rose cakes.Originally, I thought that Master Gu said to order dim sum, but he was just making an excuse because he was nice to others and didn't want to embarrass himself.When he came out, he could at most find a snack from the refrigerator to fool him. Liu Xu never expected that Master Gu was serious, not just talking casually.

He not only served dim sum, but also more than one plate.The four plates of small snacks were neatly placed on the tray, which looked delicate and delicious at first glance, unlike the cheap ones on the market.The appearance alone gives the impression that it is delicious, delicious and expensive.

Yes, expensive.

This cake looks like it is handmade by professional pastry chefs.It’s definitely expensive, even if it’s a small one, it can be settled in two or three bites, but the price is definitely more than ten times or even more than ordinary dim sum outside.

With a wealthy family and loving parents, catkins have always been meticulous in basic necessities of life, and she has never eaten more expensive dim sum, but this is the first time she knows that there are so many kinds of flower cakes, and they can be made so attractive.

"Try it." Gu Changsheng put the snacks on the tea table: "They are all homemade. If you like them, eat more." The flower cakes are slightly sweet, paired with slightly bitter tea, it is easy to overeat if you are not careful.

Catkins did eat too much.She originally just wanted to taste it politely, and stop after eating one or two.Who knew that this cake not only looks tempting, but tastes even more tempting.

The peony cake is slightly bitter and sweet, the chrysanthemum cake is sweet and refreshing, the jasmine cake is fresh and sweet, and the rose cake has a strong taste.There are four kinds of flower cakes and four flavors, each with its own characteristics and at the same time very fragrant, which makes people unable to stop mouthing once they eat it.If it weren't for her being rational, she tried her best to restrain herself in the end, maybe she would have been liquidated.

However, even so, the result is not much different from liquidation.The only thing that was better than liquidation was that she left one or two for each plate of dim sum.There were others left, but she ate up all the rose cakes, leaving only a bare, empty plate.

Unable to control it for a while, Liu Xu was a little embarrassed.

If she had known it would be like this, she would force herself to eat something before going out, instead of coming here hungry.

But she was also a little strange. She didn't eat, not because she didn't feel hungry, but every time she was hungry, she wanted to eat something, but when she sat at the dining table, she saw that her hands were covered with pimples. , she lost her appetite.

Totally disgusted to eat.

Then how could she have such an appetite at this moment?

Although Master Gu's dim sum is very good, in order for her to eat, her parents and even Aunt Wu and sister Wu will go to various places to buy delicious food.She doesn't want to go out, and well-known local restaurants, as long as they allow takeout, no matter how expensive, they will take back for her, just to let her eat two more bites.

But she still didn't have any appetite.For her, eating every day is the biggest torture.Every time I force myself to eat for the peace of my family, I will start to feel sick before I eat much, even if I use my sleeves, gloves, and all the pimples on my hands to cover up all the pimples.Sometimes what I eat is not even enough to spit out.Often can only rely on intravenous drip to maintain life.The strange thing is that after such a toss, she didn't lose any weight at all, and even got a little fatter than before she got sick.

"How's the taste? You seem to prefer rose fillings." Gu Changsheng put the remaining snacks on the same plate, put away the empty plate, and put another plate of rose cakes in front of Liuxu: "Eat more if you like, there are still in the kitchen."

Liu Xu wanted to refuse, but the rose cake seemed to have magical powers and kept attracting her.Although each of the flower cakes is very small, there are several in one plate, and after four plates are eaten, Liu Xu, whose stomach has been starved during this period, is actually already full.

She was obviously not hungry, but she couldn't control her hand, and subconsciously picked up another rose cake.

After taking a bite, Liu Xu came to his senses and wanted to put it down, but he ate everything, and it seemed more embarrassing to put it down without finishing eating.

With a reason, Liu Xu no longer resisted, and followed her heart to eat up the flower cakes on her hands.

"Eat something else?" Gu Changsheng pushed the remaining peony cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, and jasmine cakes towards Liu Xu.

"Thank you, I'm full." Not having a particularly big appetite for other flower cakes, Liu Xu controlled her ready to move, wanting to continue to reach out to the rose cakes.She said silently in her heart that she came to see a doctor, not to have snacks.To control, must control!No more shame.

"Which of these four cakes tastes the best?"

Hearing Gu Changsheng's question suddenly, although Liu Xu was puzzled, she immediately said, "Rose."

"In fact, they are all delicious," Liu Xu added, "but for some reason, I didn't really like roses before, but the rose cake you made really appeals to me." want to eat.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng knew it in his heart.

Peony promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, and like chrysanthemum, it has the effect of clearing away heat.Both chrysanthemum and jasmine have detoxification effects.These flower cakes are all made by himself. Although he didn't do it deliberately, he also made the most of the effectiveness of the ingredients themselves.

If a person is extremely deficient in a certain element, he will especially want to eat foods rich in that element.This is the subconscious mind of the body reminding him to supplement the missing trace elements as soon as possible.

Just like when you lack vitamin C, you will want to eat kiwi fruit and strawberries; when you are anemic, you will look for duck blood vermicelli soup shops everywhere.Because the animal offal such as duck liver, duck heart, and duck blood in the vermicelli soup are good products for nourishing blood.This is the same as Liu Xu desperately eating rose cakes.

If it is really because of the hot weather, acne, or body detoxification, then the catkins ate the most should be peony flower cake, chrysanthemum flower cake, and jasmine flower cake.rather than rosettes.

Rose beauty.

With Liu Xu's current situation, although it is necessary, it is definitely not that urgent.After all, if there are toxins in the body, the first thing is of course detoxification.If the acne is just caused by getting angry, the first thing to do is to clear away the heat.This is the root cause, to solve the problem from the source.

Just relying on the beautifying effect of roses, let alone treating the root cause, it is estimated that even treating the symptoms is a problem.

"Have you been to any beauty salons recently?" Combining the blackness on Liu Xu's body and the beauty-enhancing roses, it's obvious that something behind her wants to be beautiful.

Before Liu Xu, she was a real beauty.

Hearing Gu Changsheng's question, Liu Xu shook her head: "When I went home, I would have severe acne, so I thought about going to the beauty parlor to try it. But my mother said that the beauty parlor was unreliable, so she took me to the hospital "Although the hospital didn't work.

"I went there once, but when the beautician saw me, he turned away customers." He didn't dare to take care of me.

"Have you never been to a place like this before you got acne?" Gu Changsheng tapped on the sofa with his fingers, and asked thoughtfully, "Or have you ever used any strange skin care products or cosmetics?"

"I haven't started using cosmetics yet. I only use the most basic skin care products, and they only have moisturizing effects." Young girls love beauty, and of course Liu Xu also wants to use makeup to make herself look better.

But at that time, her skin quality was good, her skin was watery, white and tender.The elder sister of the Wu family was afraid that she would not be good at applying makeup at the beginning, and that improper makeup removal would damage her good skin, so she stopped her, saying that she would teach her how to apply makeup and remove makeup after the holiday.

Who knew that when she came back from vacation, she would have skin problems. Sister Wu was afraid that she would be sad, so the teaching work would be over.

"However," Liu Xu suddenly remembered one thing: "Before I got pimples, although I had never been to a beauty shop, I often went to a barber shop."

The washroom in the school dormitory is shared, which is very inconvenient. Her family is well-off, and sometimes she just goes out to wash her hair if she wants to wash her hair.Liu Xu continued: "There is a barber shop near the school gate, and that shop is very popular. They provide hair washing services there, and I go quite frequently, twice a week."

"I don't cut my hair or anything, I just wash my hair. I even got a membership card over there to wash my hair, and spent more than 2000 at one time." Unfortunately, something happened to her skin before it was used up.If it can't be cured, she probably won't go there to wash her hair again in the future.The students who are close to me in the school have become estranged, and no one wants to give the card out, so it probably can only be left idle.

Forget it, send the card back to the store when the time comes.Thinking of this, Liu Xu had a rare conversation, and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "The service of that barber shop is very good. At first, I thought I had acne. The troubled shop assistant girl also used herself as an example, she explained me gently, and taught me a lot of secret remedies for acne.” Although those secret remedies are useless, that’s all.

However, Liu Xu, who has felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings, is still very grateful to the other party in retrospect.

Just send the card to that girl. Although the other party can't use it, it can be given to relatives and friends, and it can be regarded as waste.
