Chapter 443 Stupid
“No, no.” Zhuang Cui shook her head like a rattle.

"Since you don't have it, then start learning medicine from me tomorrow. From now on, you will be my apprentice, Yin Lingyou." Yin Lingyou said.

So careless?

Zhuang Cui was immediately shocked and subconsciously asked, "Don't you have to do the apprenticeship ceremony or anything?"

"It's just an empty formality. Everything is fine." Yin Lingyou didn't care. Then he became quite excited. "As expected of my disciple, he is polite and sensible!"

Zhuang Cui, "..."

I suddenly got a master without knowing why?
How can I say about studying medicine... It’s not that she can’t study it, but she doesn’t have the confidence!

After all, even Madam Xia said that she was not cut out for studying medicine, so is she?
Besides, she was usually a bit restless and careless, and she didn't think she could do the work that required meticulous work.

It would be embarrassing if I learn very poorly by then.

But then again, being Doctor Yin's apprentice was Doctor Yin's request, not hers, so even if she turns out to be clumsy, it probably won't be a big deal, right?
Zhuang Cui felt much more at ease when she thought about it, but she also wanted to prepare Yin Lingyou mentally in advance, so she said tentatively, "It's just that I may be a little stupid, so Doctor Yin must not be angry about it."

"It's okay." Yin Lingyou still didn't care at all, "Let's not talk about the fact that you are not stupid. Even if you are really stupid, how stupid can you be more stupid than three miles?"

Mao Sanli went back to get bowls and chopsticks for Yin Lingyou, preparing to have lunch here, "..."

"Master..." Mao Sanli looked at Yin Lingyou with eyes full of resentment.

So this is how he is in his master's heart?
"Ahem!" Yin Lingyou touched his nose. "Actually, what I meant is that Zhuang Cui is a little bit smarter than you."

"No, no, no, that's not right. It's Zhuang Cui who is not as stupid as you."

"That doesn't seem right. Forget it. You two are both equally stupid. That should be fine, right?"

Mao Sanli, "..."

Zhuang Cui, "..."

Suddenly I was labeled as stupid!

Mao Sanli and Zhuang Cui were unhappy with the evaluation given by Yin Lingyou, while Yin Lingyou was filled with regret for not accepting Xia Mingyue as his apprentice.

In order to make everyone happy, Xia Mingyue had to use her trump card - cooking delicious food!

Thinking about the fact that everyone would sit together to eat a spicy and delicious hotpot the next day, Xia Mingyue did not cook any related dishes, but instead prepared some fried foods that could fully satisfy people's taste buds and double the joy of eating.

The chicken nuggets with skin are fully marinated with onion, ginger, salt, rice wine, pepper, five-spice powder, chili powder, etc., coated with egg liquid and flour, and fried into crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fragrant, spicy and delicious chicken nuggets.

The potatoes are steamed and mashed into a paste, then rolled into small balls. They are then fried in a pan into round, crispy-skinned fried potato balls. They are skewered together with bamboo sticks, brushed with some sauce, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and eaten with big mouthfuls. They are extremely delicious.

Wash and blanch the fresh mushrooms, tear them into small pieces, coat them with egg liquid and starch, fry them, control the oil and dip them in chili powder. They will be crispy and delicious!
There are also fried tenderloin strips, fried sweet potato balls, fried starch sausage...

The aroma of fried food wafted through the courtyard for two whole days. Everyone enjoyed the fried food and said it was really satisfying.

Steward Fu, who was eating the fried pork belly, nodded repeatedly to affirm its deliciousness. He wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth with a towel and sighed, "This thing is delicious, but it contains too much oil and cooked food. Is it not good for the body?"

As he gets older, he values ​​his life more. Steward Fu is now very concerned about maintaining his health. "Eating coarse food is good for your health. Why don't you have this every day?" Yin Lingyou glanced at Steward Fu, and while enjoying the tender and crispy pork belly, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said vaguely, "It's enough to eat delicious food. Why do you have to be so good to your health? What's the matter? Do you plan to live like an old goblin, or live long enough to become an immortal?"

Manager Fu: "…"

It seems to make sense!

When life is good, enjoy it to the fullest, eat to your heart's content, why think so much!
Manager Fu suddenly felt his mind become extremely clear, and even the top of his head seemed to have been cleansed by something, making him feel very comfortable.

I originally planned to eat only one piece of crispy pork belly, but I simply picked up another piece and put it on my plate to enjoy it slowly.

When the aroma of fried food in the yard faded a little, all the boxes and cages were packed up, and Xia Mingyue was ready to set off back to Jinqiu County.

Yin Lingyou and his disciple Mao Sanli wanted to go back together, because they had been away from home for several days and missed home very much. Besides, Xia Mingyue and others were going back with many carriages, so he could just take a ride and avoid the trouble of renting a car.

Everyone knew Yin Lingyou's plan, and they just laughed but didn't expose his little thoughts.

Also traveling with them were Yinqiao and Qingju.

Manager Fu was afraid that the journey would be unsafe, so he not only accompanied and escorted them personally, but also called on many servants and retainers.

In addition, thinking of Xia Mingyue's hard work and great achievements in Changzhou Prefecture, this return to Jinqiu County can be regarded as a glorious homecoming. Manager Fu felt that he needed to bring many things with him in accordance with the rules.

Cloth materials, tonic herbs, wine, jewelry...

There were all kinds of things, and the carriage was filled to the brim.

In short, Xia Mingyue's return this time was so grand that when he entered Jinqiu County in the evening, the soldiers guarding the city could not help but look around to see what kind of merchant had come to the county.

When he learned that the person who came back was Madam Xia from the Xia family, all his previous surprise and curiosity were gone.

Madam Xia...

That makes sense!
Walking all the way home, Lu, who had already received the news, and Zhao Youcai were already waiting at the door. When they saw Xia Mingyue getting off the carriage, their eyes were filled with tears.

"Your sister-in-law is finally back." Mrs. Lu held Xia Mingyue's hand and asked about her well-being. "Did you have a smooth journey? How have you been in Changzhou City these days? Is your business going well? Your sister-in-law looks much thinner..."

Mrs. Lu asked one question after another, each one was full of concern, which made Xia Mingyue feel warm in her heart.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine." Xia Mingyue followed Lu into the house and told Lu about the general situation in Changzhou City during this period.

The two of them talked affectionately for a long time.

"Brother Zhao looks much better now." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"It's more than good, it's completely healed." Zhao Youcai took two steps forward as he spoke.

His steps were relaxed and natural, with the wind under his feet. He had indeed recovered well.

"Thanks to Doctor Yin, I feel that this bone is much stronger than before." Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "But your sister-in-law doesn't believe that I am fully recovered. She just said that this thing must be taken care of for a year or so, and she told me to rest first."
