Chapter 7: Apprenticeship

Aunt Wugen carefully picked up the mouthful of meat, with three points of shyness, four points of expectation and put it in her mouth.

The aroma of meat is mixed with the aroma of wine, and the soft and glutinous sweetness explodes in the mouth.

A piece of braised pork failed to quench the cravings, but made Aunt Wugen covetous, and her eyes changed when she looked at the pot of meat.

Aunt Wugen: "Youyi, how do you make this meat?" So delicious? I want to learn, and I can make it myself and eat it. ”

Ji Youyi informed the method in detail, but Aunt Wugen was in trouble.

Poor families, except for the New Year's Festival, are usually reluctant to eat meat, let alone spend so much effort to do it.

She looked uncomfortable, and felt that she could only eat it once in her life.

Seeing her like this, Ji Youyi took out a small bowl and filled it with some. "If Aunt Wugen doesn't dislike it, take it back and eat it."

"Eh, eh, that's so embarrassing." Aunt Wugen said that she was embarrassed, but she took the bowl with her hand.

Looking at the meat in the bowl, she remembered the purpose of coming today, and she said a little awkwardly, "Youyi, you haven't been at home recently, where have you been?" ”

"I'll go to Dr. Liu's side to work and take care of the medicine field."

"Yo, then this job is not easy, and Dr. Liu is not a good person, why do you want to go to his side? If you want to find something to do, I can introduce you, I introduced you to your mother's small jobs in the past. ”

"Thank you, auntie. You also know An An's situation, I went to Dr. Liu's side, I also thought that if he was in a good mood, I could see An An, no, I plan to cook something delicious, and I want him to take me as an apprentice, so that I can take care of An An easily in the future. ”

"Hey, I'm sorry for you, child."

Aunt Wugen looked at Ji Youyi carefully, and then looked at Ji An behind her, with some thoughts in her heart.

Ji Youyi chatted with Aunt Wugen for a few words, and after sending people away, she packed the meat, fried a vegetarian dish, and went to Dr. Liu's courtyard with the food box.

Dr. Liu did not go to the clinic today, and drank in the courtyard with a small wine glass, and a plate of peanuts on the table, which was also comfortable.

"Doctor Liu, what about drinking, I happened to bring vegetables."

Ji Youyi put the food box on the table, and before she opened it, a smell of meat came out.

She opened the food box and put the dishes on the table, and Dr. Liu immediately moved the chopsticks without waiting for her introduction.

The meat and wine are fragrant, and it melts in the mouth, Dr. Liu swallowed it in one gulp, and his eyes lit up. "Delicious! It's really delicious, it's better than what Tianxianglou in the capital is made of. ”

"Master, have you ever been to the capital?" Ji Youyi pretended to be curious and asked.

When Dr. Liu heard her say this, he took back the chopsticks that were about to hold the meat, and said with a thoughtful and wary face: "Who are you calling master?" ”

"Naturally, it's you." Ji Youyi placed Ji An aside to eat, and then looked at him with a sincere smile, "Master, you are alone and lonely, aren't you going to accept an apprentice?" You see me, proficient in pharmacology, flexible brain, good craft, the most suitable to be your apprentice. ”

Doctor Liu pursed the corners of his lips, did not speak, focused on his peanuts, although the chopsticks did not move the braised pork again, but his eyes did not leave.

Ji Youyi was not in a hurry, the meat was sandwiched into An An's bowl piece by piece, and she lovingly instructed: "An An eat more, children grow their bodies, eat more meat, and eat less." ”

Seeing that the meat in the pot was slowly decreasing, Dr. Liu felt that he was scratched by the cat's claws, and it stinged and stinged.

But he didn't want to take in apprentices, not at all.

It is said that the apprentice was taught, and the master was starved to death, and now that the apprentice has not been confiscated, the master will be starved to death. “

"Me!" He looked at the flesh, ahhhhh ”

Ji Youyi put down her chopsticks and smiled gently, but in the eyes of Dr. Liu, this smile was cunning.

He sighed helplessly and persuaded: "This woman has great defense, and it is not good to study medicine." I'll give you a hundred wen a month's increase, what do you think? ”

"Master, I not only know how to make braised pork, but also steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauce chicken ......"

Ji Youyi went directly to a section and said the names of fifty dishes in one breath, and Dr. Liu was stunned when he heard it.

He looked at her very suspiciously and said, "You really know what you said?" If you fool me, the emperor's cooks may not be able to do it all. ”

Ji Youyi saw that the meat in An An's bowl was finished, so she unhurriedly sandwiched another piece into his bowl, "Master, I'll see you for a long time." You have become my master, so I naturally want to follow you and pay homage, don't you say? ”

Yes! Not much meat on the plate!

For a bite to eat, Dr. Liu was ruthless, "Okay, this is your own dead face begging me, what will happen in the future, don't blame the teacher for not reminding you!" ”

The goal was achieved, Ji Youyi sandwiched a piece of meat into Dr. Liu's plate, "Master's cultivation grace, I have no teeth to forget, how can I blame the master, master, you eat a piece of meat, this meat is not delicious when it is cold." ”

After the master-apprentice status was decided, Dr. Liu also held a special apprenticeship banquet.

The patriarch's spiritual position, instructed by tea, knelt three times and knocked nine times, and then invited two tables of people from the village to eat and let them testify.

This fanfare made Ji Youyi unexpected.

After a busy day, Ji Youyi returned home and was about to rest, when she heard Aunt Wugen calling outside.

"Youyi, I'm not at home, I'm an aunt."

Ji Youyi asked An An to enter the house and went out by herself.

"Auntie, why did you come here so late?"

"You are an apprentice today, my aunt is happy, I didn't talk to you much when I saw that you were busy when I was eating and drinking, no, I just came to return your bowl, and I gave you my gift by the way."

Aunt Wugen placed the bowl she had taken earlier on the stone table in the courtyard, and then pulled out a rectangular box from her cuff.

"This is the dowry that my mother gave me when I got married, and it is also the most valuable and precious thing in my aunt's family."

There is a silver hairpin lying in the box, the style is a little old, and the silver is still tinged with yellow, it is indeed some years old.

Ji Youyi woke up in her heart, didn't accept it, and refused: "This hairpin looks like it costs a few taels of silver, how can I accept such a valuable thing from my aunt for no reason, auntie, this is not good." ”

Aunt Wugen's eyes flew with a smile and said, "Why can't it, why will we be a family in the future, so you don't have to be so angry." ”

Ji Youyi heard the meaning of her words, sank her face, and frowned, "What do you mean by this, auntie?" I didn't get it. ”

"Ah, look at my mouth." Aunt Wugen pretended to be annoyed and gently patted her face, and explained apologetically: "Youyi, my aunt has something I want to ask you about. What do you think of my iron pillars? ”
