Which QR code should I scan in Chapter 170?
In the dormitory building, the dormitory supervisor has absolute authority.
Nobody dared to provoke bad luck at this time.
The girl with the face mask quietly took two steps back, hiding the tin can she had just bought behind her back.
Seeing that she had intimidated everyone, Aunt Wang snorted and reached out to grab the handle of the canvas bag.
"I've confiscated your things! You there, I'm calling your counselor right now!"
"Operating without a license is a serious violation of school rules. Your dorm's entire performance evaluation score for this month has been deducted! Expect a college-wide public reprimand!"
Upon hearing that points would be deducted and the counselor would be called in, Li Na panicked and stepped forward to argue, "Auntie, we bought these drinks ourselves..."
"A drink? What kind of drink costs eight hundred dollars? You're kidding me!"
Aunt Wang pushed Li Na's hand away, grabbed the canvas bag, and started to walk downstairs.
The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"Auntie, please don't be angry."
A fair hand pressed on the other end of the canvas bag.
Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of Aunt Wang, a very sincere smile on her face.
She looked at the large beads of sweat on Aunt Wang's forehead and her cheeks flushed from the heat, and lowered her voice, speaking softly:
"Auntie, it's so hot, and there's no electricity in the dormitory. You still have to run up and down the stairs to manage discipline. Your clothes are soaked with sweat. It's really too hard for you."
You can't hit someone who's smiling.
Su Xiaoxiao's gentle words of concern made Aunt Wang pause for a second.
But she maintained a stern face: "Don't try to get on my good side! A foul is a foul!"
Su Xiaoxiao did not respond.
She turned around and quickly took a clean, transparent glass from the desk near the door in the dormitory.
Then, she unscrewed the lid of the thermos next to her and poured in half a cup of ice water.
The thermos contains water made from the melted ice cubes they just got from the cafeteria.
Then, in front of everyone, Su Xiaoxiao scooped a large spoonful of thick, black liquid from one of her jars and put it into the container.
Without stirring, the thick liquid quickly melts and dissolves upon contact with ice water, turning the entire glass of water a clear amber color.
A fine layer of water droplets instantly condensed on the cup wall.
After doing all this, Su Xiaoxiao held the glass with both hands and respectfully handed it to Aunt Wang.
"Auntie, this isn't actually something we sell. It's a refreshing soup made by a relative of mine who's a head chef at a fancy restaurant, using a traditional secret recipe."
"Look at you, you're sweating profusely. You're very susceptible to heatstroke in this hot weather. Have some water to cool down."
Aunt Wang frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse.
What kind of weird summer heat relief soup is this? What hasn't she drunk in her life?
Mung bean soup, herbal tea, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water are completely useless in this 38-degree Celsius stuffy corridor!
But, at the very moment she raised her arm...
An extremely domineering and cold fragrance wafted out from the rim of the cup and entered her nostrils without any obstruction.
It was a unique fragrance that blended the smoky aroma of top-grade dried plums with the clear, pure scent of snow lotus from the mountains.
After just one breath, Aunt Wang felt a sudden sense of clarity in her chest, which had felt like it was stuffed with a wad of wet cotton.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
She swallowed hard.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Aunt Wang's outstretched hand changed course and took the cold glass.
The coolness of the cup seeped through her palm, calming her agitated emotions slightly.
With a hint of doubt, she picked up the cup, brought it to her lips, and tentatively took a small sip.
"boom!"
The moment the amber liquid touched the tip of her tongue, Aunt Wang's pupils contracted sharply.
She had never experienced this feeling before.
That extreme sourness, like a sharp sword, instantly cleaved through her taste buds, which had been numbed by the high temperature; what followed was a mellow and lingering sweetness, perfectly enveloping the stimulation brought by the sourness.
The most terrifying thing was that temperature.
It wasn't just the physical cooling of ice water, but a chilling sensation that seemed to emanate from within the liquid, penetrating every part of the body.
Swallow it in one gulp.
This chilly aroma, carrying the scent of dried plums, slid down my esophagus into my stomach, and then suddenly exploded!
Aunt Wang clearly felt as if a block of ice that had been frozen for millennia had been stuffed into her stomach.
The cool sensation quickly travels throughout the body along the blood vessels.
The sticky sweat on my back was instantly washed away by the cool air.
Because of the chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by menopause, and the dizziness and headache caused by high temperature.
After swallowing this sip of liquid.
One! Sweep! And! Empty!
Aunt Wang stood rooted to the spot, as if frozen in place.
She could even feel the cool, plum-scented air she exhaled from her nostrils.
"Glug! Glug! Glug!"
Without needing any persuasion, Aunt Wang tilted her head back and drank the remaining half-cup of plum juice in one gulp.
She swallowed rapidly, even chewing the last bit of ice crystals left at the bottom of the glass with a crunching sound.
"ha--"
Aunt Wang put down her cup and let out a long breath.
Refreshed.
The gray hair that used to stick to my forehead from sweat no longer seemed greasy.
The internal heat was completely extinguished, replaced by a feeling of comfort from the inside out.
The corridor was deathly silent.
All the girls held their breath, watching Aunt Wang's reaction.
Li Na gripped the door frame nervously.
Aunt Wang looked down at the empty cup in her hand, then looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, and finally fixed her gaze on the canvas bag on the table.
The anger on his face had vanished without a trace, replaced by an extremely complex expression of shock, and even obvious longing.
She smacked her lips, savoring the lingering sweetness in her mouth.
"this……"
Aunt Wang opened her mouth, but her originally loud voice unconsciously dropped eight octaves, accompanied by a dry cough to cover up her embarrassment.
"This heat-relieving soup... what's it made of? It's so potent..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Wang's micro-expressions and knew that the matter had been settled.
She maintained that obedient smile:
"Auntie, this recipe is a closely guarded secret of the big hotel. But my relative said that this soup not only relieves summer heat, but also has a remarkable effect on regulating endocrine function and alleviating menopausal hot flashes."
Upon hearing the words "relieve menopausal hot flashes," Aunt Wang's eyelids twitched, and her eyes lit up.
She cleared her throat, tucked the palm-leaf fan into her waistband behind her back, held the empty cup in both hands, and her tone became more amiable than ever before:
"Um... Xiaoxiao, Auntie sees you're all in this hot weather, and you're doing this to help everyone. It's just classmates helping each other, I understand."
The girls around him were all speechless when they heard this.
They were just saying they'd issue a hospital-wide reprimand; this change of heart is as fast as Sichuan opera.
Aunt Wang pointed to the canvas bag and lowered her voice:
"However, there are too many people in this corridor, which does block the fire exit. Here's what you'll do: once you've sold everything, quickly put the table away."
She paused, then deftly pulled her phone from her pocket and quickly added:
"Look at this... how many cans of your heat-relieving soup are left? My aunt has been suffering from a lot of internal heat lately, and your relative's cooking skills are amazing."
"Give Auntie two cans... no, three cans. Auntie will transfer the money to you at the original price, I would never take advantage of you students! Hurry up, which code do you want to scan?"
