Section 8 Collecting Medicine
"What is this?" Du Qingyi looked curiously at the plate of steamed cakes that Lu Youyou took out of the steamer, and couldn't help but admire, "Sister's craftsmanship is really good, this flower cake is more and more exquisite, not inferior to yesterday's fruit cheese." β
"It's a pity that the cherries are out of season," Lu Youyou's face looked regretful, and when he thought about it, he felt pantothenic acid in his mouth and salivated, "otherwise it would be better to make it with cherries." β
When Du Qingyi heard this, she couldn't help but yearn for it, and asked, "Is my sister talking about butter cherries?" I heard that flower glutinous cheese is popular in the capital, but I didn't expect my sister to be good at it. β
As soon as he mentioned the flower cake, Lu Youyou remembered the flower cake he brought when he escaped from the Lu Mansion that day, and it was squeezed along the way and finally became a sticky cake, which was miserable, and simply took a piece of the steamed cake in his hand to her, "The flower cake has to be able to pound the cake, I can't do it yet." However, this peanut cake and mung bean cake, I can still make custard and cake when I have milk in a few days, and if there is ice, I can also make shaved ice or ice cream, which is guaranteed to taste better than flower cakes, not inferior to butter cherries at all. β
"Really? Sister, you are so capable! Du Qingyi took the steamed cake, took a small bite, squinted his eyes, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "It's so sweet...... Melt in your mouth and delicious......"
"What are you eating?"
Du Qinglian suddenly walked into the kitchen, the tip of his nose moved slightly, smelled the aroma of the steamed cake, his complexion changed, rushed to Du Qingyi's side, snatched the steamed cake from her hand, twisted a little powder from her fingertips and sent it to her mouth, and immediately threw it aside, stuck Du Qingyi's throat, "Spit it out!" β
"What's going on?" Lu Youyou was taken aback by him, "This is a peanut cake made by me, it's not poisonous!" β
Du Qingyi had already been pinched by him and spit out, his face changed greatly, he couldn't speak, his breathing became short, the corners of his eyes were even redder, and a dense small red rash appeared on his face.
Du Qinglian picked her up, glared at Lu Youyou fiercely, and rushed out of the kitchen.
Lu Youyou stood in place dumbfounded, looking at the remaining steamed cake on the plate, thinking about Du Qingyi's symptoms just now, he couldn't help but shudder, this steamed cake is not poisonous, but Du Qingyi ...... I'm afraid it's allergic to peanuts...... Good intentions did bad things, she really wanted to cry without tears.
After waiting for a long time, he was about to become an ant on a hot pot at Du Qingyi's door, Lu Youyou finally waited for Du Qinglian to open the door and came out, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"What's wrong with Qingyi? Does it matter? I really didn't know she could be allergic to peanuts......"
Du Qinglian looked at her coldly, "I don't know? If you want to study medicine, have you memorized the "Hundred Grass Pictures"? β
"It's not ...... yet," Lu Youyou's heart was weak for a while, "Master, I'll carry it." β
"Wait a minute." Du Qinglian snorted lightly, "I only promised to let you stay, and I haven't promised to accept you as an apprentice." Today, you have Qingyi allergies, if you can't memorize the "Hundred Grass Maps" within three days, and you can't find the right medicine, just leave by yourself! β
"Ah, Masterβ"
Lu Youyou was taken aback, and just wanted to plead, Du Qinglian had already brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't even pay attention to her, she couldn't help but pause, "Three days, if you want to memorize the "Hundred Grass Map", you have to find medicine, how is it possible!" β
"What's impossible." The little silver fox poked out his head, "Master, have you forgotten that there is still me?" β
"By the way, and you!" Lu Youyou was overjoyed, and couldn't help but kiss it when he picked it up, "I almost forgot that there is still a baby like you." Pick medicine, pick medicine, with you, I'm not afraid! β
"Qingyi is allergic, and the symptoms include nepeta, parsnip, coptis, shengdi, mugwort leaves, mint, honeysuckle, ......"
Lu Youyou was carrying the "Hundred Herbs" on his back, and at the same time trying to recall the habits of the herbs recorded in it.
"Nepeta is sun-loving, the leaves are yellow-green, the four edges are strong, the stems are square and slightly purple, the taste is flat, the sex is warm, it can suppress phlegm, dispel wind, and cool the blood...... Pregnant! Here! β
Happily pick the most tender buds and leaves of nepeta and put them into the back basket, Lu Youyou continued to look forward, Baicao Valley is in the embrace of the mountains, the location is unique, there are hot springs among them, so the grass is overgrown, and there are many good medicines specially cultivated by Du Qinglian, such as Coptis chinensis, mugwort leaves, mint and honeysuckle and other commonly used medicinal materials can not go far to be collected, that is, the raw land is not easy to find.
Lu Youyou picked herbs while looking for them, and also picked a lot of mushrooms, and when he saw other herbs, he compared them with the records in the "Hundred Herbs" one by one, and learned with relish.
Unconsciously, she walked farther and farther, until the sky was getting dark, she suddenly looked up, found herself in a strange mountain, and hurriedly looked back, not to mention the medicine house, not even the two honeysuckle trees at the gate of Baicao Valley could not be seen.
"Oops, where am I?" Lu Youyou hurriedly found the little silver fox, "Xiaobai, do you recognize the way back?" β
The little silver fox opened his eyes in a daze, "Huh? Recognize the way, it's easy to say, as long as I smell it...... You can find your way...... Yes...... Ahh β
A drop of water fell on the tip of its nose, causing it to sneeze, and suddenly a lightning bolt swept through the air, followed by a boom, and the torrential rain poured down, and in the blink of an eye, it drenched a man and a fox.
As soon as the little silver fox heard the thunder, he trembled, shrunk into Lu Youyou's arms, and became a ball, refusing to come out even if he died.
Lu Youyou helplessly held it and hid under the tree to avoid the rain, and just squatted down a thunderbolt fell on the tree, splitting the big tree into sparks and cutting off half of it, and then she remembered that she couldn't take shelter under the tree during a thunderstorm, so she had to run out of the woods in a panic and run towards the most empty place.
I don't know if the Lei Gong in the sky really stared at the little silver fox, and the lightning bolts came one after another, making the little silver fox tremble.
Lu Youyou was also worried about an accident, so he ran all the way in the rain, and finally saw a temple-like building in front of him, so he hurriedly ran over, and vaguely saw the words "Qingxuguan" written on the lintel through the rain curtain, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyone? The little woman picks medicine and encounters rain, so she takes refuge here for a while......"
While shouting and pushing the door in, Lu Youyou found that there was no one in this clear void view, so quiet that he could only hear the sound of thunder and rain.
When I went in, I saw that the courtyard was desolate, the grass at the entrance of the main hall was more than a foot high, and a dilapidated statue in the hall was covered with dust, and it was no longer possible to see where it was sacred.
No one is there, just shelter from the rain and rest.
Lu Youyou just breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the main hall, but he stumbled under his feet, stepped on a soft thing, and almost fell to the ground.
"Yes...... Corpse?! Dead man! β
She turned around and wanted to run, but the little silver fox didn't dare to go out and risk again, so she jumped out of her arms, and as soon as she landed on the "corpse", she heard him let out a moan, suddenly turned over, and grabbed Lu Youyou's ankle.
"Ahh βββ
