"Didn’t you give her a bunch of pills last time?" Chu Xianling asked.
"Not for that ailment," Song Xiaodong replied.
"What other ailment does she have?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Oh honey, why do you have so many questions like a curious kid?" Song Xiaodong sat next to Miao Qingqing and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Hmph!"
"Director Qiao is a police officer. It’s inevitable to get hurt fighting with criminals. He has a scar on his body and wants me to help remove it, just like how I treated Yiyi," Song Xiaodong explained.
"Oh... "
Just then, Sun Yiyi walked out, holding her stomach and complaining, "Ugh, I ate too much. Oh, you’re back! Today, sis made beef and radish soup. It was incredibly delicious, much better than the potato soup last time."
"Really?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Yeah, I ate so much, I’m going to get fat," Sun Yiyi said as she looked at her mostly unchanged tummy.
"Hey, didn’t you say you were going to make weight-loss soup last time? What happened with that?" Miao Qingqing asked Song Xiaodong.
"Didn’t you say my recipe would taste terrible last time? I did some more research and came up with a new formula. I’ll brew a pot for everyone to try later," Song Xiaodong said.
"Then hurry up! Soon, everything I ate will be digested!" Sun Yiyi urged Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, I’ll let you see what it’s like when the Divine Needle, Song, crafts a weight-loss tea," Song Xiaodong said.
"Who wants to help me out?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Not me, I’m going to play games with Sister Sijie," Miao Qingqing told Song Xiaodong.
"I’ll go with you," Sun Yiyi stepped up.
"Me too!" Xiao Yingying also jumped in.
"Great."
"Let them play games after eating, they’ll just get fatter! " Song Xiaodong said to Miao Qingqing.
"I don’t mind!" Miao Qingqing picked up a pillow from the sofa and pretended to throw it at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong headed to the elixir chamber on the first floor with Sun Yiyi and Xiao Yingying, where various medicinal ingredients purchased with Chu Xianling in Beijing were stacked.
"Didn’t you say you already had a recipe last time?" Sun Yiyi asked Song Xiaodong.
"Qingqing said my recipe included Licorice Root and would definitely taste like licorice tablets," Song Xiaodong explained.
"Ah, what about this time?"
"This time I looked into other weight-loss tea recipes and did some innovation of my own. It’s sure to be tasty and effective," Song Xiaodong said.
"Really? I’ve tried those weight-loss teas before, they didn’t really work," Sun Yiyi said.
"Sister Yiyi, you’ve tried weight-loss tea before?" Xiao Yingying asked Sun Yiyi.
"Yeah, I had a bit of baby fat when I was younger," Sun Yiyi said.
"You can’t tell!" Xiao Yingying said.
"Neither can you," Sun Yiyi told Xiao Yingying.
"You two stop flattering each other! " Song Xiaodong knew the conversation between the two women would turn into mutual praise about their figures, making them both smug.
"By the way, the tea leaves that Feng Shuo sent last time couldn’t be finished. Just right for the weight-loss tea," Song Xiaodong took out a bag of tea leaves.
"Does it really help with weight loss?" Sun Yiyi asked.
"Of course, wait and see the results!"
"You both help me fetch the ingredients."
Song Xiaodong selected Malt, Lotus Leaf, Coix Seed, Honey, Rose, Dried Tangerine Peel, Chrysanthemum, Sweet Osmanthus, Dandelion, Pueraria Root, Red Bean Paste and other herbs, placing them in a cloth bag, and brewed them with tea leaves, making a pot of yellow-brown liquid.
"What’s this? Are you telling me this is weight-loss tea?" Sun Yiyi pinched her nose, looking at the water in the pot, which resembled dishwater, and asked Song Xiaodong.
"Want to taste it?" Song Xiaodong asked Sun Yiyi and Xiao Yingying with a smile.
"Why don’t you taste it first?" Xiao Yingying asked Song Xiaodong.
"I’m not the one who’s chubby," Song Xiaodong raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you calling chubby?" Sun Yiyi laughed, making Song Xiaodong’s knees weak.
"Are you testing on us? Experimental subjects?" Sun Yiyi asked again.
"All-natural plant ingredients! Healthy, detoxifying, and slimming," Song Xiaodong resumed his sales pitch mode.

"You drink it. I’d rather put on weight," Sun Yiyi said.
"Exactly, who dares to drink it? Do you think other weight-loss teas are made like this?" Xiao Yingying added.
"You wouldn’t understand, my weight-loss tea just has an unappealing appearance, but its slimming effect surpasses those on the market. If it’s chilled and packaged, it’d definitely be a hit!" Song Xiaodong said.
"I think you have the potential to become a brainwashing salesman," Sun Yiyi mocked Song Xiaodong.
"Grab that spoon," Song Xiaodong said to Xiao Yingying.
Xiao Yingying ran upstairs, fetched a spoon, and handed it to Song Xiaodong while hearing Song Xiaoru shout, "Hey Yingying, what are you doing with a spoon?"
Song Xiaodong scooped a bit with the spoon, blew it cool, sipped it, smacked his lips, and nodded.
"Mmm, next summer’s bestseller!" Song Xiaodong declared.
"Let me try!" Sun Yiyi grabbed the spoon and scooped a bit.
"It’s hot, blow on it," Song Xiaodong reminded.
Sun Yiyi blew on it and also took a sip.
"It’s actually really good, tastes a bit like fruit juice and tea. If it’s a cold drink, it’d definitely be tasty!" Sun Yiyi praised.
"I want to try too!" Xiao Yingying jumped excitedly.
Sun Yiyi scooped some up for Xiao Yingying.
"Careful, it’s hot!"
Xiao Yingying also took a sip and nodded, "It’s really good, but will it help with weight loss?"
"You’ll feel it by tomorrow morning."
"Go upstairs and bring a few bowls down. We’ll pour the tea out and chill it in the fridge."
The three of them busied themselves for a while, putting the weight-loss tea into the fridge.
