Chapter 252 251. First experience with foot bath medicine bag

Chu Shaoyang took the lottery ticket and followed the procedure, spending one cent to buy a can of foot bath medicine.

He chose the basic style.

I lay happily in bed, unable to sleep and thinking about random things.

Is the little squirrel asleep too? Will it suffer from insomnia? What will it do if it suffers from insomnia? Will other little squirrels come to visit?

Oh, I'm so anxious.

It will take several days to see it.

This is another deduction.

Then I thought, it’s so cold, I should soak my feet before going to bed. When will the medicine package for foot soaking arrive?

It seems to have gotten cold especially early this year. It wasn't this cold at this time last year.

Go to sleep quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow.

I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I don't want to go to work.

I have a meeting in the morning, so annoying, no time to slack off.

Turning it over and over, I feel more and more energetic.

I just lay down and played with my phone, and before long it was already past two in the morning.

Chu Shaoyang sighed and scolded himself, "I clearly agreed to go to bed early today, but you stayed up late and played with your phone. If you continue like this, you will die suddenly! I'm so mad! Just do it!"

Just like yesterday, the day before yesterday, last week, the week before last, last month, and before that.

Chu Shaoyang made up his mind to go to bed early before going to bed, but stayed up late playing with his mobile phone. He felt the alarm clock rang just as he fell asleep. He struggled to get up, washed up casually and rushed to the company. He drank a large cup of coffee early in the morning before he felt a little more awake.

I made up my mind to go to bed early today.

As a result, Chu Shaoyang stayed up until after two in the morning that night.

Our descendants will be endless!

Fortunately, SF Express is very powerful.

After Chu Shaoyang made up his mind to go to bed early, he received a package, which was the foot bath medicine package he won.

After opening the package, I found a black cylinder wrapped tightly in bubble wrap, about the size of a tea can.

When I took it apart, I saw that it was an iron can made of the same material as the hot sauce.

This company seems to like using tin cans for packaging.

Then peel off the plastic cover and pull the pull tab to open the outer packaging.

Inside were stacked white non-woven bags and an instruction manual.

As the sealed jar was opened, a strong smell of medicine wafted out.

The smell was quite pungent and Chu Shaoyang couldn't help but sneeze.

At the same time, the smell of medicine drifted to a nearby workstation, and a colleague who was slacking off leaned over and asked, "Chu Shaoyang, are you sick? Is this the medicine you were prescribed?"

Chu Shaoyang shook his head. "I won a foot bath medicine pack in a live lottery two days ago. It was mailed to me today."

Upon hearing this, several colleagues who had been slacking off at work gathered around to see what was happening.

“The packaging is pretty nice.”

"It's winter now, and it's very cold at night. Soaking your feet is really comfortable."

"How many packets are there in this bucket? Why is the smell of medicine so strong? Maybe they added fragrance."

"This is clearly the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Who would make a fragrance with this flavor?"

"Maybe there's something that doesn't have any smell of its own, but when you spray it on, it makes other things smell stronger. Technology is so advanced now, you know what's out there."

There are lever heads everywhere.

Generally speaking, where there is a leader, there must be a person who knows things.

Among the colleagues who gathered around, there was one who seemed to be very knowledgeable and urged Chu Shaoyang to open the bag of ingredients.

Chu Shaoyang took a napkin and spread it on the table, then opened a pack and poured out the contents.

The King of Understanding immediately exclaimed, "Not bad, they use whole medicine, not powder, the quality seems to be pretty good."

"You also know something about medicinal herbs. Tell me, what are these?" Gangtou also became interested.

The King of Understanding picked up a piece and said, "This is ginger."

"Nonsense, everyone knows ginger. Is this also a medicine? Isn't this misleading?" The gang leader curled his lips, showing great disdain.

The King of Understanding was choked and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Another colleague tried to smooth things over, "This is Jiang. I didn't recognize him. Jiang is so pretentious. Last time I ordered a takeaway chicken drumstick rice, there was no chicken drumstick, but a whole piece of ginger. I took a bite and found out. I was so upset that I threw it all away."

"How could he not see it? Anyone with eyes would recognize it. There's no need to take a bite of it. Don't throw it away. Go find him and ask the restaurant to compensate you." Gangtou became even more excited.

Even the colleague who was trying to smooth things over was unwilling to pay attention to him.

The atmosphere was completely ruined and other colleagues were not in the mood to watch the fun.

They dispersed one after another.

Chu Shaoyang felt like crying but had no tears. Half of his medicine bag was gone and had been taken away.

Gangtou didn't want it. He disdained to use such a thing that made up the number of ginger.
-
Nine p.m.

Chu Shaoyang returned home after get off work.

I couldn't wait to take out the foot bath medicine bag, filled a pot of cold water in the kitchen, and threw the medicine bag in.

And set the alarm.

He had read the instructions several times today and had memorized them by heart.

For best results, soak for half an hour.

Then bring to a boil over high heat.

After boiling, turn to low heat and continue cooking for half an hour.

This is a difficult medicine pack to handle; it needs to be boiled first.

Unlike other things, you can just throw it into the foot basin and be done with it.

It's quite ceremonial.

Chu Shaoyang was playing games while looking at his watch.

Waited for over an hour.

The whole room smells like medicine, as if Chinese medicine is being boiled.

Looking at the pot again, only half of the water was left, and it was black in color, also like Chinese medicine.

do not care.

Chu Shaoyang poured the medicine soup in the pot into the foot basin, added cold water little by little, and adjusted it to the appropriate temperature.

Take off your shoes and socks, roll up your trouser legs, and put your feet in.

"Ah~~" I couldn't help but let out a strange moan...

Footbath, this simple and ancient way of relaxation, brought Chu Shaoyang an unexpected sense of comfort after a busy day. When his tired feet were immersed in warm water.

The water temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold, like a gentle embrace from nature.

The water waves gently brush across the soles of my feet, taking away the dust and fatigue of the day, as if every pore was breathing, inhaling warmth and medicinal effects, and exhaling tension and pressure.

Over time.

Chu Shaoyang felt it starting from his feet, then to his calves, thighs, and gradually moving upwards.

All the muscles in the body are relaxing, and the tense tendons are beginning to stretch, as if a pair of soft and tender little hands are gently massaging you bit by bit.

Very slow, very gentle, very soft, very comfortable!
Along with the massage comes the warmth.

The temperature of the water gradually spread throughout the body, as if a warm current was circulating in the body, dispelling the coldness from every part of the body and bringing warmth and tranquility.

Gradually, a gentle little hand touched Chu Shaoyang's forehead, and the warm breath reached his eyebrows.

Together, they smoothed out his frown.

Chu Shaoyang took a deep breath feeling comfortable and closed his eyes unconsciously.

The mind seemed to calm down as the body relaxed, thoughts gradually drifted away, and troubles and worries also drifted away with the waves.

Go wherever you want.

for a long time.

The water temperature gradually cooled down.

Chu Shaoyang walked out of the comfort with endless aftertaste.

Lift your feet, dry them, and put on your slippers.

My whole body went limp.

His consciousness had come out, but his body hadn't yet, and was still savoring the experience.

Then, Chu Shaoyang felt his body waking up, and a feeling of comfort rose from the soles of his feet, like a clear spring, nourishing his whole body.

The whole person seemed to have a new vitality.

So cool!
Chu Shaoyang picked up the basin and poured the waste water into the bathroom. He felt a little distressed as he did so.

Do you want to cook it again?
Thinking of this, Chu Shaoyang shook his head.

I can't get over the psychological barrier.

Let’s cook it tomorrow. The medicine packets can be reused anyway.

Pour out the water and simply rinse the foot basin.

Chu Shaoyang returned to the bedroom and got into bed with all the warmth in his body.

It was actually still early and he was feeling comfortable after soaking his feet and was not sleepy at all.

I just don't want to waste my energy.

According to common sense, Chu Shaoyang's thoughts should be in a mess at this time. His body was lying on the bed, but he seemed to be floating in the air, unable to find a resting place.

But today.

His head just hit the pillow.

My breathing becomes steady and deep, my heartbeat harmonizes with the rhythm of my surroundings, and I blend into the quiet night.

A good night's sleep.

When the morning light shines through the curtains, it gently brushes his sleeping face.

Chu Shaoyang opened his eyes.

I looked at my phone and it was not even seven o'clock yet, and there was still half an hour before the alarm went off.

He had completely lost all sleepiness and was not at all drowsy.

Then he discovered that the world today seemed unusually clear, and the simple furniture in the bedroom seemed to have brighter colors.

Chu Shaoyang got up from the bed and stretched.

I felt my whole body light, as if there had been a heavy object weighing on me and it had just been taken away.

Chu Shaoyang lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

I just feel refreshed and full of energy.

The hard lump in his brain, the culprit that was sticking to his slow thinking, seemed to have been removed.

Oh my, this is such a relief.

Chu Shaoyang couldn't help but hum a little tune, he had plenty of time.

I put on my clothes easily, washed up carefully, put on my bag, went downstairs, and greeted my early-rising neighbors with a smile.

We also sat in the store and had breakfast.

Even so, Chu Shaoyang still arrived at the company fifteen minutes early.

I encountered a scene I had never seen before.

The girl at the front desk is eating a bun.

The girl at the front desk was stunned for a moment when she saw Chu Shaoyang, and quickly swallowed the bun in her mouth, waved and greeted him, and said in surprise, "Chu Shaoyang, why do you look so good today!"

Chu Shaoyang smiled slightly and touched his face: "I slept well last night."

"Well, you look really good." The girl at the front desk praised again.

Chu Shaoyang smiled reservedly and walked to his workstation.

In fact, I feel very happy.

He saw that he looked better when he looked in the mirror this morning.

The dark circles under my eyes disappeared, the acne under my lips shrank, and the yellow spots and dark lines on my face became much lighter.

The most important thing is that the whole person looks radiant and energetic.

Not long after Chu Shaoyang sat down, he heard the girl at the front desk praising him again: "You look really good today."

Then, a man rushed in from outside the door, came over and hugged Chu Shaoyang, and kept shouting, "Fuck, fuck, awesome, awesome, Shaoyang, hurry up, share the link with me, I want to stock up!"

What he said was a mess, his eyebrows were in disarray, and he even called me Shaoyang... It was disgusting.

We are just ordinary colleagues and have no intention of becoming best friends.

Chu Shaoyang untangled himself calmly and asked calmly, "What link?"

"What else is there, the link to foot bath? Hurry up." The colleague was still in a hurry.

Chu Shaoyang turned his head and saw that his face was rosy and he looked full of energy.

He smiled and said, "Use it well."

I used my mobile phone to find the store link and shared it.

The colleague achieved his goal and immediately let go of Chu Shaoyang and clicked on the link with great interest.

"..." After a long silence, "Fuck! 299!"
