Chapter 10 boil medicine

Lu Youyou walked into Du Qingyi's room with the medicine bowl carefully. Seeing her half leaning against the couch and holding an embroidered bundle in her hand, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic to her.

"Didn't Master give you a good rest? Why are you still doing work? Be careful to be tired."

"Thank you."

Du Qingyi looked up and saw that it was her. She put down the embroidery rack, took the medicine bowl and drank it all, not caring about the bitter taste at all.

"This little work is nothing, I can't be tired. What's more, I slept a lot yesterday and I was not sleepy today."

"You are really idle." Lu Youyou picked up her embroidery stand casually, slightly surprised, "You are embroidering landscapes, but it is rare, and the embroidery looks so beautiful!" Most of the embroidered handkerchiefs of this size are used for their own use, mostly flowers or mandarin ducks. If given to men, most of them are the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums. There are very few freehand landscapes. Even if you have only a few strokes, you can see the strange peaks and curved waters, which complement each other.

Du Qingyi lowered her head, and a little blush appeared on her face, "I've been used to doing it since I was a child, so it's nothing."

Lu Youyou couldn't help but feel curious when she heard this, "My master is called a miracle doctor, so she shouldn't be short of money and people. Why did you still let you do so many things, so hard..."

"Don't get me wrong." Du Qingyi quickly explained when she heard this, "The brother did not grow up in the clan in his early years, and we were not a mother and compatriot. My mother was a maid next to her wife, but she had passed away after giving birth to me. If it weren't for the brother's return to his hometown to visit the grave the next year before, I wouldn't know that I, a concubine who had never even had a genealogy."

"So you are also a concubine daughter, nothing, so is me." Lu Youyou didn't care about her background at all. "If I hadn't run fast, I would have been tied up by my legitimate mother and sister and married to a dead man to be buried with her."

Du Qingyi was startled and looked at her sympathetically, "My wife ignores me. At most, the brothers and sisters in the mansion sometimes bully me, but fortunately there is a brother..."

"Yes, you are much better than me. At least there is a powerful brother who saves you from the fire pit." Lu Youyou sighed and was ecstatic, "If I had a famous genius doctor like you, I would be more arrogant than being a princess!"

Du Qingyi couldn't help laughing. The two of them said one by one, and the more they spoke, the more they became more and more speculative. The similar backgrounds and experiences, and completely different personalities made them more competing. Especially Du Qingyi, when talking about being bullied in the past, he heard Lu Youyou complain about the brothers and sisters and came up with some weird ideas. If it were her, how she would deal with those people. When she spoke, she seemed to be able to even herself, go back to the past, and return the humiliation of the past one by one. With her heart, the resentment and suffering accumulated in her heart unknowingly disappeared like snow and snow meeting the sunshine.

Du Qinglian, who heard all this outside the door, rarely had a gentle look on his face, which had always been cold and unwavering.

Seeing this, Li Qi couldn't help but joke, "I didn't expect that the three-death miracle doctor with a cold face and a cold heart would be so concerned about a concubine!"

Du Qinglian's face darkened and glanced at him coldly, "How dare you compare with you? You didn't hesitate to pick up an unknown woman on the road and searched for someone in the rain..."

"Ahem," Li Qi hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed, pulled him away, "I'm feeling uncomfortable again, please help me see if the wound is cracked."

Du Qinglian snorted, "It's just a matter of cracking, I deserve it!"

"Starting today, you will be responsible for Mr. Li's medicine. This is the prescription, go!" Du Qinglian still looked cold and indifferent, but when Lu Youyou took the prescription from him, he clearly felt the difference from the past.

It seems... she did not dismiss her master's title again.

"As for orders, Master!" So what she agreed this time was particularly loud. Isn't it just boiling medicine? Who can't do it yet!

When she arrived at the pharmacy, she looked at the Baizi Cabinet on the whole wall, and heard Du Qingyi tell her the precautions for boiling medicine while picking up medicine. Lu Youyou realized that she had jumped into a big pit again. Boiling medicine was not as simple as she thought.

"The medicinal materials must be soaked for two incense sticks first, and then boiled in water for half an hour. The first incense stick is high heat, and the next one is low heat. Three bowls of water will be almost done. Also, you have to pay attention to the aconite that can reduce the toxicity. The several medicines in this pack must be added at the last incense stick. If they are placed early, the medicinal properties will easily dissipate..."

Lu Youyou felt like a big head and wanted to hold her head and cry, "One stick of incense... can you tell me clearly how long this incense stick is!"

"A stick of incense... almost... should..." 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, "Is it half an hour?"

Lu Youyou knew from holding her forehead to wiping her face, she knew that this was a crossing the gap between the times and technology, and she could not communicate at all. "Forget it, give me a few incense sticks, I'll light incense and watch the time!"

"Okay." Du Qingyi comforted: "It may be harder at the beginning. If you boil the medicine a few more times, you can master the time and heat."

"Okay, practice makes perfect, I understand." What can Lu Youyou do? If you dig a hole, you have to jump in and fill the soil by yourself. Start practicing from scratch honestly, and have no choice.

Du Qingyi looked at her sympathetically, "Sister is really attentive. This young master Li is in poor health. He has to go to the valley to recuperate for a while every year. His brother and he are old acquaintances. Although he often argues, he uses medicine very carefully. He makes things difficult for his sister."

"It's okay, isn't it just a medicine? If you want to study medicine, can you still be afraid of boiling medicine?" Lu Youyou thought it through and didn't care about this trouble. She waved her hand and swept away her worries. She picked up her medicine bag and went to the kitchen to start her first time in her life.

This time, without the help of the little silver fox, the fire in the medicine furnace could be lit by itself. But when I looked at the incense stick for less than a long time, my eyes almost turned into cross-eyes. The fan in my hand was in full swing from the beginning to the point of being weak later, I realized that this little medicine boy was not that easy to be a good boy.

"puff--"

The sparks on the incense head were blown hard by someone, and sparks suddenly rose and slashed. The incense stick that had not moved for the past half a day was finally over and it was almost over. Lu Youyou's sleepiness disappeared. His eyes were full of fire and he looked at the little silver fox who had blown the incense all over. He jumped out from his teeth and asked word by word: "You are doing, what, what?!"

"I'm working for the master!" Xiao Yinhu said proudly: "Didn't you keep asking when this incense stick will be finished? I will burn it quickly as soon as I blow it. How about it, am I awesome?"

"Awesome, you're so awesome!" Lu Youyou was so angry that she picked up the fan and knocked it on the head, "You're going to kill me, and you have to light incense and do it again!"

"ah!"

"Squeak!"——"
