"Baicao Valley does not raise waste, does not leave idle miscellaneous people, etc."

Du Qinglian redressed Li Qi's wounds, watched him drink the decoction in one go, and then said unceremoniously: "Since she has nothing to do with you, why do you want her to come with you?" ”

Li Qi was full of bitterness, and even smiled bitterly when he heard this, "If she hadn't rescued me tonight, I wouldn't have been able to wait for you to come." ”

Du Qinglian frowned, quite skeptical, "I see that her limbs are weak, and she doesn't look like a person with special skills, how can she save you?" ”

"Yes," Li Qi sighed, "if she has a special skill to help, it will only be a gesture." But she was already unable to protect herself, but she never abandoned me in times of crisis, how could I sit idly by and send it away at will? ”

"What do you mean?" Du Qinglian glared at him, "What do you owe to me, whether you give money or make a personal promise?" ”

He didn't say it, but as soon as he said it, Li Qi didn't feel pantothenic acid in his heart, "Whoever asked her not to do anything else just fell in love with you and wanted to worship you as a teacher." ”

"Humph!" Du Qinglian glanced at him, "Do you think my apprentice is so easy to be?" ”

Li Qi looked at him helplessly, "Say, what conditions do you want." ”

Du Qinglian snorted and glanced at the door, "I said that if I don't raise waste, if you want to stay, you have to prove that you are useful." ”

Lu Youyou, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, was swept away by his eyes, and quickly poked half of his head in, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely be useful, and I will never be a waste." ”

"It's useless to say," Du Qinglian didn't even bother to glance at her out of the corner of his eyes, "It's okay!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Youyou was full of joy, and was about to go out, when she met Du Qingyi coming in and inviting the two of them to dine, she immediately followed Du Qingyi diligently to serve rice and cloth dishes, and was even more thoughtful to Du Qinglian, seeing that Li Qi had no appetite at all, and put down the chopsticks after only tasting one bite.

Du Qingyi saw him stop, and suddenly asked with some uneasiness, "Qingyi's craftsmanship is stupid, if you feel uncomfortable, please ask Gongzi to make it clear, and Qingyi will do it again." ”

Li Qi shook his head slightly, "It has nothing to do with the girl, maybe it was because I took medicine before, and my mouth was bitter and I didn't have much appetite." ”

"You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite." Du Qinglian had a cold face and said bluntly: "Medicine is supplementary, rice is the mainstay, if you don't even eat staple food, no matter how much medicine you take, it's useless." ”

Li Qi glanced at the porridge and side dishes on the table, with a bitter face, picked up the chopsticks, and swallowed the dish with difficulty, with an expression that was more painful than taking medicine, Du Qinglian sneered, but Du Qingyi was embarrassed and at a loss.

Seeing this, Lu Youyou was inspired and hurriedly said, "I know how to cook, let me try it!" ”

"You?" Li Qi looked at her, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Trust me," Lu Youyou patted his chest with a swear, "The dishes I will cook will ensure that you have never even heard of them, and they will definitely make you appetite!" ”

"Oh? If that's the case, then you're kind of useful. Du Qinglian finally raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Go!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!"

As soon as Lu Youyou heard that he was willing to admit that he was useful, he left a door, and hurriedly rushed out of the room and ran towards the kitchen. Du Qingyi looked at the rest of the food on the table, bit her lower lip gently, and retreated.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

A large puff of black smoke came out of the stove, spraying Lu Youyou's face, choking her coughing again and again, but she didn't even have a spark, so angry that she stabbed the firewood inside, "What kind of slope stove is this, it can't be lit!" ”

"It's because you're stuffing too much firewood!" The little silver fox was also dizzy, "Let me help you!" Poof—"

"Awesome!" Lu Youyou excitedly watched the little silver fox blow over in one breath, the flames in the stove jumped up, and he couldn't help but rub the little guy hard, "It's still you who are the most useful, thank you!" ”

"Of course," the little silver fox smugly rubbed her hand with her head, "don't forget to make something delicious, let me taste it first!" ”

"Good!" Lu Youyou nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, you won't be missing!" ”

Glancing at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, Lu Youyou chose a lotus root, two eggplants, a fish, and a small piece of tofu, and started to do it.

First steamed the eggplant in a steamer, sliced the fish and marinated it, then cut the lotus root into small cubes, and boiled the fish head and bones into soup, Lu Youyou was about to chop garlic, but saw Du Qingyi standing at the door, and hurriedly beckoned to her.

"Qingyi, you came just in time, do you have sugar and vinegar?"

Du Qingyi was stunned, nodded, and took out a porcelain jar from the cupboard, "Do you want to put sugar in the dishes made by my sister?" ”

Lu Youyou nodded while wiping his sweat, "Yes, I plan to make sweet and sour lotus root and garlic eggplant, all of which have to be added with some sugar to enhance the flavor." If it is hot and bitter summer today, Li Gongzi is bitter by the medicine again, and naturally it is not fragrant to eat anything, I want to try it with sweet and sour appetizers. ”

"Oh......" Du Qingyi looked at her carefully, "Sister, don't worry, I won't steal the dishes you make." ”

"Huh?" Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the skill of cooking seemed to be not easy to pass on in ancient times, so he immediately smashed the garlic clove with a knife, and said nonchalantly: "What do you steal or not, you can watch it if you want to learn, I have also eaten too much, and learning to do it casually is not a good thing." ”

"Thank you, sister." Du Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, followed to help her add firewood and watch the fire, and watched every process of her cooking very seriously, which made Lu Youyou even more energetic, explaining to her while doing it.

"This sweet and sour lotus root must be blanched before cooking, and it is good to pass through the water to retain the crisp taste of the lotus root. Then there is this sweet and sour sauce, which should be made with sugar, vinegar and dark soy sauce...... It's just that the soy sauce is mixed first, and then the ......"

Du Qingyi's eyes widened and looked at her stir-frying, carefully noting down each step, "So that's the case......"

Lu Youyou put the sweet and sour lotus root on the plate, took out the steamed eggplant, poured the boiling oil of fried peppercorns on the garlic paste and green onion and stir-fried until fragrant, and then put in salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar to season and dress well, the second dish was quickly done, and then the tofu was placed in the fish soup, the fish fillets were rolled into the porridge, two dishes, one soup and one porridge were out of the pot, sprinkled with green onions, red, white, green and yellow in a plate, the color and fragrance were complete, and Du Qingyi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

When it was brought to the table and placed in front of Li Qi and Du Qinglian, both of them showed a little surprise.

Lu Youyou smiled proudly and wiped his face, "Try it!" ”

Li Qi glanced at the black ash and sweat on her face, then looked at the food in front of her, reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fish soup tofu with the most normal color, raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and tasted the lotus root again, the chopsticks in her hand couldn't stop anymore, and ate one bite after another, even the hot fish fillet porridge was drunk cleanly.

Du Qinglian looked at Li Qi, who had a big appetite for food on the table, and then looked at Lu Youyou, who was full of anticipation, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, if you're still a little useful, you can stay."

"Yay! ——”
