soju wine is just amber fragrance.
I want to pick a branch and pour a cup of it,
Who can taste it with no guests on the west building?
—Tang Bai Juyi

So the two of them studied the poem and tasted the delicious southern fruits. At this time, Bai Juyi's maid Chunlan came in and saw many litchi cores on the table. She wrapped them together and placed them in the drawer of the table.

After the doctor asked about the condition, he gave Chunlan the pre-wrapped Chinese medicine. Chunlan returned home, because she was busy doing other housework for a while, and did not decoct the medicine immediately, so she put the Chinese medicine in the drawer where the lychee core was originally placed.
After a while, Chunlan took out the Chinese medicine wrapped by the doctor from the drawer, opened it and saw that it was a few lychee cores. She suddenly remembered the lychee core she stored and thought she had taken it wrong, so she opened another paper bag and saw that it was also a lychee core. She thought for a while, could lychee nuclear cure hernia?
