哟，你学得真快啊。不过要先搞清火的类型，然后才可以有针对性地去火。比如我刚刚说的心火。如果心火太旺，就会心烦、失眠、口舌生疮什么的。这个时候，用莲子清火，效果特别好。

Whoa, you learn fast. But first you have to figure out the type of internal heat before you can use the appropriate medicine. For example, think of the heart fire I just mentioned. If you have too much fire in your heart, you will feel annoyed, you'll be insomniac, and you'll get sores on your tongue. At times like this, you get really good results from using lotus seeds to get rid of internal heat.

Hm, I was just exaggerating. If he was really stupid enough to explode the kitchen, I wouldn't hesitate to divorce him for sure, but I'll never let him into the kitchen again. I was so angry, not to mention the futile argument.
