Section 10 Boil medicine
Lu Youyou cautiously walked into Du Qingyi's room with the medicine bowl, and saw her half-leaning on the couch, still holding an embroidered bandage in her hand, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her.
"Didn't Master let you rest for a good life? How do you still work? Beware of being tired. โ
"Thank you."
Du Qingyi looked up and saw that it was her, put down the embroidery frame, took the medicine bowl and drank it all, not caring about the bitter taste at all.
"It's nothing, it's tiring. What's more, I slept a lot yesterday, and I am not sleepy today. โ
"You're really not idle." Lu Youyou picked up her embroidery frame casually, slightly surprised, "You are embroidering landscapes, it's rare, the embroidery is so beautiful!" This size of embroidered women embroidered mostly for their own use, mostly flowers or mandarin ducks, if it is given to men, mostly for the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, there are few such freehand landscapes, although a few strokes, you can also see the strange peaks and water, contrast with each other.
Du Qingyi lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, "I've been used to doing it since I was a child, it's nothing." โ
Lu Youyou couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this, "Master is called a miracle doctor, and he shouldn't be short of money and people, why do you still want to do so many things and work so hard......"
"I didn't ask my brother to do it, don't get me wrong." Hearing this, Du Qingyi hurriedly explained, "My brother didn't grow up in the clan in his early years, and we are not the same mother. My mother was originally a maidservant girl next to my wife, but she passed away after giving birth to me. If it weren't for my brother returning to his hometown to sweep the grave the year before last, I wouldn't know that there was a sister like me who had never even been on a family tree. โ
"It turns out that you are also from a concubine, it's nothing, so am I." Lu Youyou didn't care about his background at all, "If I hadn't run fast, I would have almost been kidnapped by my mother-in-law and sister to marry a dead man for burial." โ
Du Qingyi was taken aback and looked at her sympathetically, "My wife ignores me, at most, the brothers and sisters in the house sometimes bully me, but fortunately, there is a brother ......."
"Yes, you are much better than me, so I have a powerful brother who rescued you from the fire pit." Lu Youyou sighed, yearningly, "If I were like you, there was a world-famous miracle doctor brother, it would be more powerful than being a princess!" โ
Du Qingyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, the two of them said a word, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, their similar backgrounds and encounters, and completely different personalities made them more compatible. Especially Du Qingyi, talking about being bullied in the past, listening to Lu Youyou complain about those brothers and sisters, and came up with some quirky ideas, if it was her, how would she deal with those people, when she said it, it seemed that even she could substitute for it, go back to the past, and return the humiliation of the past one by one, and after laughing, the resentment and pain that had accumulated in the bottom of my heart were like ice and snow meeting the sun, and dissipated without a trace.
Du Qinglian, who heard all this outside the door, rarely showed a touch of gentleness on his cold and waveless face.
Seeing this, Li Qi couldn't help but quip, "I can't imagine that the cold-faced and cold-hearted Three Absolute Divine Doctors are so attentive to a sister!" โ
Du Qinglian's face sank, and he glanced at him coldly, "Where do you dare to compare with you, you don't hesitate to look for someone in the rain for a woman of unknown origin who was picked up on the road......"
"Ahem," Li Qi hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed, pulling him away, "I'm not feeling well again, you can help me see if the wound has cracked." โ
Du Qinglian snorted, "It's self-inflicted to crack, you deserve it!" โ
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of Li Gongzi's medicine. Here's the prescription, go for it! Du Qinglian still looked cold and indifferent, but when Lu Youyou took the prescription from him, he clearly felt the difference from the past.
Seem...... She was no longer dismissed as Master.
"Yes, Master!" So what she promised this time was also very loud, isn't it just boiling medicine, who wouldn't know!
When she arrived at the pharmacy, looked at the whole wall of the Baizi cabinet, and listened to Du Qingyi tell her about the precautions for boiling medicine while grabbing the medicine, Lu Youyou found that she had jumped into a big pit again, and boiling medicine was not as simple as she imagined.
"The medicinal herbs have to be soaked in two sticks of incense first, and then fried in water for half an hour, the first stick of incense is on high fire, and the back has to be low, and three bowls of water are fried into a bowl of water. Also, you have to pay attention to the fact that the aconite has to be fried first, which can reduce the toxicity. The few flavors of medicine in this bag have to be put in the last incense stick, and the medicinal properties will be easy to disperse if they are put early......"
Lu Youyou's head was as big as a bucket when he heard it, and he almost wanted to hug his head and cry, "A stick of incense...... Qingyi, can you tell me clearly, how long is this incense stick! โ
"A stick of incense...... Almost...... It should be ......" Du Qingyi blinked, wondering why she was so painful, but when it came to the length of time, she didn't know how to explain, "Half an hour, right?" โ
Lu Youyou went from holding his forehead to wiping his face, knowing that this was a gap across the times and technology, and he couldn't communicate at all, "Forget it, you give me a few sticks of incense, and I'll light incense and watch the time!" โ
"It's fine." Du Qingyi comforted: "At first, it may be a little harder, and if you boil the medicine a few more times, you will be able to master the time and heat." โ
"Well, practice makes perfect, I understand." What can Lu Youyou do, what he promised, he has to jump in to fill the soil by digging a pit, and he honestly starts from scratch, and he has no choice.
Du Qingyi looked at her sympathetically, "Sister is really attentive, this Li Gongzi is not in good health, and he has to go to the valley every year to recuperate for a while, my brother and him are old acquaintances, although there are disputes from time to time, the medicine is extremely careful." I'm embarrassed for my sister. โ
"It's okay, isn't it just a medicine, if you want to study medicine, you can still be afraid of boiling medicine?" As soon as Lu Youyou figured it out, she didn't care about this trouble, waved her hand, swept away her troubles, picked up the medicine bag and went to the kitchen to start boiling medicine for the first time in her life.
This time, without the help of the little silver fox, the fire of the medicine stove can be lit by itself, but looking at the incense stick for a long time, it is not over, a pair of eyes are about to become cross-eyed, and the fan in his hand has been weak from the beginning to the end, only to know that this little medicine boy is not so easy to be.
"Poofโ"
The spark on the incense head was blown hard, and suddenly sparks burst out, and a large amount of it was cut off on the ground, and the incense that had not moved for half a day was in the blink of an eye, and Lu Youyou's drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and his eyes looked at the little silver fox that blew out the pillar of incense, and jumped out from between his teeth and asked: "You, in, doing, what?!" โ
"I'm working for my master!" The little silver fox said proudly: "Didn't you keep asking when this pillar of incense would be burned?" As soon as I blew it, it burned fast, what's the matter, I'm amazing, right? โ
"Awesome, you're amazing!" Lu Youyou was so angry that he picked up the fan and knocked it on the head, "You're going to kill me, you have to light incense and start again!" โ
"Ahh
"Squeak! โโโ
