Old Cucumber Soup

Do you know that old cucumber is a cooling food? It can reduce the 'heat' in our body. And not only that, I searched online and found out that old cucumber is also good for skin. To prevent skin aging!! Hey, whether it's true or not but no harm drinking or consuming it right?

Lets start the anti-aging soup ~ hahahaha~
