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

Du Qinglian rebanded Li Qi's wounds, and watched him finish the medicine in one breath, and then said bluntly: "Since she has nothing to do with you, why do you want her to come with you?"

Li Qi was full of pain and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "If she hadn't saved her tonight, I wouldn't have been waiting for you."

Du Qinglian frowned, feeling a little suspicious, "I see that she is weak in all limbs, not like a person with unique skills, how can she save you?"

"Yes," Li Qi sighed, "If she had unique skills to help her, it would be a small task. But she was unable to protect herself, but she never abandoned me in times of crisis, how could I sit idly and pass it at will?"

"What does it mean?" Du Qinglian glared at him, "What do you have to do with me, whether you owe the favors you owe or give your own money or give your body?"

He didn't say anything, but when he said that, Li Qi felt sad, "Who told her to want anything else, but she fell in love with you and wanted to take you as her teacher."

"Hmph!" Du Qinglian gave him a blank look, "Do you think my apprentice is so easy to be a good person?"

Li Qi looked at him helplessly, "Tell me, what are the conditions."

Du Qinglian snorted and glanced at the door, "I said I wouldn't raise waste. If you want to stay, you must prove that you are useful first."

Lu Youyou, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, was swept by his eyes and quickly leaned in half, "Master, don't worry, I'm sure I'm useful, I'm definitely not a waste."

"It's useless," Du Qinglian was too lazy to glance at her in the corner of her eyes, "It's enough!"

"Yes!" Lu Youyou was full of joy. Just as she was about to go out, she met Du Qingyi coming in to invite the two of them to have a meal. She immediately followed Du Qingyi to serve the dishes with her, and was even more thoughtful to Du Qinglian. Seeing Li Qi lost all her appetite. She only tasted it and put down her chopsticks.

When Du Qingyi saw him stop, he immediately asked uneasy, "Qingyi's craftsmanship is rough. If you have any discomfort, please tell your son and Qingyi will do it again."

Li Qi shook his head gently, "It has nothing to do with the girl. Maybe it was because he had taken medicine before, and his mouth was bitter and he had no appetite."

"You have to take it if you don't have an appetite." Du Qinglian said with a cold face and said stiffly: "Pharm is the auxiliary, and rice is the main thing. If you don't even take the staple food, it will be useless no matter how much medicine you take."

Li Qi looked at the clear porridge and side dishes on the table, with a bitter face, picked up the chopsticks, and tried to pick up the dishes and swallowed them. He looked even more painful than taking medicine. Du Qinglian sneered, but Du Qingyi was embarrassed and at a loss.

Seeing this, Lu Youyou had an idea and hurriedly said, "I know how to cook, let me try it!"

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

"Believe me," Lu Youyou patted her chest confidently, "I guarantee that you have never even heard of the dishes I know, and it will definitely make you enjoy your appetite!"

"Oh? If that's true, then you're quite useful." Du Qinglian finally glanced at her, "Go!"

"Okay, I'll go now!"

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

"Ahem! Ahem!"

A large stream of black smoke came out of the stove, spraying Lu Youyou's face, choking her to cough, but not even ignite a spark. She was so angry that she poked the firewood inside, "What kind of slope stove is this? It won't catch fire!"

"It's because you stuffed the firewood too much!" The little silver fox was also dizzy, "Let me help you! Puff--"

"Awesome!" Lu Youyou watched the little silver fox blow over in one breath, and the flames in the stove jumped up. She couldn't help but rub the little guy hard, "You are the most useful, thank you!"

"Of course," Xiao Yinhu rubbed her head proudly, "Don't forget to make something delicious, let me taste it first!"

"Okay!" Lu Youyou nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, you will definitely not be missing!"

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

First, steamed eggplant in a steamer, marinate the fish, then cut the lotus root into diced diced fish head and fish bones to make soup. Lu Youyou was about to cut garlic, but saw Du Qingyi standing at the door and hurriedly waved to her.

"Qingyi, you came just right. Do you have sugar and vinegar?"

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

Lu Youyou nodded while wiping sweat, "Yes, I plan to make sweet and sour lotus root diced lotus root and garlic paste eggplant, and I have to add some sugar to enhance the flavor. If it is hot and bitter summer today, Mr. Li was bitter again by the medicine, so naturally nothing tastes good to eat. I want to try using sweet and sour appetizers."

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

"Ah?" Lu Youyou was stunned, and then she remembered that cooking skills seemed not to be easily spread in ancient times. She immediately slapped the garlic cloves and said indifferently: "What are you learning secretly or not? Just watch it if you want to learn. I have eaten too much. Learning to do whatever you want is not a skill."

"Thank you sister." Du Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then helped her watch the fire. She watched every process of cooking very seriously, which made Lu Youyou even more energetic and explained to her while doing it.

"Before making these sweet and sour lotus root cubes, you must blanch the lotus root cubes in water, so that they can retain the crisp texture of the lotus root. Then there is this sweet and sour sauce, which requires sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce... and soy sauce first, and then make..."

Du Qingyi opened her eyes wide and watched her cooking, carefully recording each step, "So that's how it is..."

Lu Youyou put the sweet and sour lotus root diced rice into the plate, took out the steamed eggplant, poured the boiled oil of fried pepper on the garlic paste and chopped green onion, then put salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar to season. The second dish was done quickly, and then put tofu in the fish soup and rolled the fish fillets into the porridge. Two dishes, one soup and one porridge were out of the pot, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and a plate was red, white, green and yellow, with a full color, aroma and flavor. Du Qingyi couldn't help swallowing.

When they were brought to the table and placed in front of Li Qi and Du Qinglian, both of them showed some surprise.

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

Li Qi looked at the black gray and sweat on her face, then looked at the food in front of her, reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fish soup and tofu that was the most normal color. He unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and tasted the lotus root cubes. The chopsticks in his hand could no longer stop and ate them one by one, and even the hot fish fillet porridge was drunk completely.

Du Qinglian looked at Li Qi who was eating on the table, and then looked at Lu Youyou who was looking forward to it, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, you're still useful, you can stay."
