Chapter 45: The Spread of Influenza
In the middle of the night, Liu Yan was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door outside, and someone was shouting his name.
He hurriedly got up and opened the door to see that it was the head of the village, Wang Laohan, and his daughter-in-law, holding his son Xiaodouzi in his arms.
"Liu Yan, help my son take a look, this kid is sick, he can't sleep all night, and he just vomited. Wang Laohan looked flustered.
"Come in first. Liu Yan hurriedly welcomed the two in.
Xiaodouzi was hot, his little face was red, and he was already burning in a daze.
Liu Yan checked the pulse, looked at his tongue coating again, and his condition was already clear at a glance, this is a common influenza in winter, referred to as influenza, which was called winter disease in ancient times.
In the past, when my grandfather was there, it was very simple to treat this disease, if he was not afraid of pain, he would be scraped, and if he was afraid of pain, he would take traditional Chinese medicine, nourish yin and kidneys, warm the kidneys and replenish yang, which could strengthen the body and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
But Liu Yan's treatment was simpler, he took out the silver needle, pulled down Xiaodouzi's collar, exposed his back, and put the needle on his back, while getting angry.
This is a method of life and death, because the winter flu belongs to the internal heat and external cold, the internal heat is contained in the lungs and stomach, and the external cold is bound to the body surface, and the needle from the back can play a role in driving away the cold and dissipating heat.
After the treatment, Xiaodouzi's face improved a lot, he opened his eyes, called out to his brother obediently, and his smart color resurfaced on his immature face.
"Little Bean, how are you feeling?" Wang Laohan hurriedly asked.
"It feels so comfortable. ”
Liu Yan smiled and asked, "The flu is contagious, has Xiaodouzi been in contact with anyone in the past two days? Who else in your family has caught a cold?"
Wang Laohan said: "No one in the family has a cold, so I went to his grandmother's house today, and his two uncles caught a cold." ”
Liu Yan nodded: "That may be infected by his uncle, after all, the child is weak and has low resistance, so I won't prescribe medicine to him, wait for that little herb to go back later, get two taels of ginger and five taels of green onions, boil a pot of bone broth, it is best to drink it once a day, adults also drink it, it can prevent colds, and before going to bed, let the little beans soak their feet for half an hour." ”
Wang Laohan's face was suddenly full of gratitude: "Liu Yan, you are really a god, just get two small beans in your hands, and you don't even need to take medicine." ”
The corners of Liu Yan's mouth mentioned, joking, he was treated by the method of life and death, if it was placed in ancient times, just this kung fu would be exposed, and countless Chinese medicine practitioners would be impressed.
Early the next morning, Liu Yan had just gotten up and cleaned up, when someone knocked on the door outside, and a villager came in, who also had a cold.
Liu Yan didn't know whether it was sad or happy, the winter flu was sudden, it was highly contagious, and it happened to be the New Year, everyone stringed relatives with each other, and because the diet was biased towards big fish and meat, it was balanced, and then drank some wine, this disease came as soon as it was said. If there are patients, there will be money, but he would rather everyone not get sick, not that he feels noble, but that he will be busy opening a store in the near future.
Influenza is actually sudden, accidentally hit, but there is also a radical cure, the so-called righteous memory, evil can not be done, through the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, to strengthen the body, so that the body is easy to adapt to the changes brought by the weather, then it will not be easy to get sick.
But this is also a rather long process, Liu Yan didn't have so much thought, so he prescribed a prescription to ward off the cold and dissipate heat, picked up two medicines for him, and sent him away.
While eating breakfast, Liu Erzhu, the next-door neighbor, came over to visit the door, snorting and snotting.
"You have a cold, huh?"
Liu Erzhu smiled innocently: "I drank some wine last night, I didn't pay attention to it when I slept at night, and I was frozen, you can help me get some medicine." ”
"Alas, Uncle Erzhu, you really can't drink too much in this body. Liu Yan sighed, but did not prescribe medicine to him, but took a bit of luck and asked him to boil some ginger soup.
After getting Liu Erzhu done, Liu Yan hurried out.
In the bank, Liu Yan took out all his belongings, a full 80,000 yuan, and now he has more than 3,000 food expenses left at home.
When she came to Su Yun's store, she had already drafted the contract and showed it to Liu Yan, and the cooperation between the two was very clear.
"My belongings are here. Liu Yan took out the money.
Su Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "This should be your wife, how can you marry a wife after you have invested in it?"
Liu Yan grinned: "It's only 80,000 yuan, you will definitely be able to earn it back if you invest in it, earn a few more 80,000 yuan, and marry a few more wives." ”
"Haha, you think it's beautiful, I will also take 50,000 yuan out as the cost of reopening the store, I wish us a happy cooperation." Su Yun stretched out her delicate palm.
"Happy cooperation, make a fortune together. Liu Yan shook hands with her gently, Su Yun's hands were a little cold, but the skin was delicate and felt very good.
The store is going to be redecorated again, Liu Yan is a layman in this regard, the main opinion is mainly Su Yun, she has experience in decoration, and quickly established the decoration style of the store, and intends to use a pharmacy decoration in a costume movie, which is biased towards the ancient style.
"The tables and chairs should all be replaced, replaced with solid wood furniture, which may be customized, and I will contact me to measure the size tomorrow. ”
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll order a batch of medicinal herbs first, try it in the kitchen first, and strive to come up with the most efficient cooking method." ”
"Well, let's go together. ”
Guxing County is located in the mountainous area, the natural environment is beautiful, many local specialties, the most representative is tea and medicinal materials, in an old market in Guxing County, there are many medicinal herb shops.
Shop around for nothing, and the two finally communicate with a store and get the goods regularly in the future.
A phone call came, Liu Yan picked it up and saw that it was Liu Erzhu calling.
"Liu Yan, where are you running away again? No longer doing business, several people in the village are waiting for you to see a doctor. Liu Erzhu said hurriedly.
"I'm in the county seat, what's going on with them, they won't have a cold like you, right?" Liu Yan guessed that so many people were sick, and it was estimated that the flu broke out.
"Yes, yes, you have a cold and fever, come back quickly. ”
"Okay!" Liu Yan nodded.
"There's a patient in the clinic, then you can go back first, if you're busy tomorrow, you don't have to come over yet, I can handle it." Su Yun smiled slightly.
"I'll look at the situation. Liu Yan nodded with a smile, thought about it, his eyes rolled, now the money in hand has just been handed over, and he is already poor, taking advantage of the flu now, it may be an opportunity to make money.
The so-called winter hurts the cold, and spring will be sick and warm. In traditional Chinese medicine, the wind in winter is evil and pervasive, once it is injured by the wind and cold, the evil qi lurks in the body, and it will suffer from temperature disease in the spring of the next year, so it is best to regulate the body in winter.
After spending more than 500 yuan, Liu Yan specially bought a batch of medicinal materials to prepare a prescription for nourishing yin and strengthening the essence.
rushed home, and as soon as the door was opened, the village chief Zhao Jianguo hurriedly ran over.
"Liu Yan, a lot of people in the village have caught a cold in the past two days, it is estimated that it is the flu, can you see how to prevent it?" Zhao Jianguo put on a smile.
Liu Yan smiled: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
"Hey, okay, I know you must have a way, work hard, I just received a notice from the town government, it is the time period for the winter flu outbreak, and the hospitals in many towns in the county are full, so don't make trouble for the government in our village." Zhao Jianguo hurriedly said.
Liu Yan nodded, feeling funny in his heart, after Sun Fugui ran away, he still talked to Zhao Jianguo for the first time, and his attitude changed significantly.
At the same time, Liu Yan also thought in his heart that there was an outbreak of influenza in many places in the county, and those hospitals and pharmacies would make a lot of money, but unfortunately, he had a way to prescribe the right medicine, which was more effective than those antiviral drugs, because it could cure the root cause, but it was a pity that he couldn't publicize it, otherwise he would definitely be able to make a fortune by preparing a piece of Chinese medicine and selling it.
"Amitabha, I hope that people in the world are free of diseases, so why not rely on other people's illnesses to make money. Liu Yan's heart suddenly popped up with the words that his grandfather used to hang on his lips, and suddenly a sense of guilt came.
Zhao Jianguo ran out, and Liu Yan also heard his shouting in the village, and called on those villagers who were not feeling well to come to Liu Yan for medical treatment.
This time, there were six or seven people, Liu Yan did not use his anger like treating Xiaodouzi and Liu Erzhu, the loss was too great, he explained the pathology of influenza to the villagers, explained the principle of conditioning the body in winter from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, and finally began to prescribe medicine to them.
A serving of conditioned Chinese medicine, thirty yuan, two days' supply, not only patients can eat, people with low body resistance can also take it, just drink it like tea, without any side effects.
The villagers have long been convinced of Liu Yan's medical skills, and now that spring ploughing is about to come, everyone wants to get better quickly, and they have to pay for five packs of less, and more than 20 packs, anyway, the winter is still long, so it's good to be prepared.
After the lively scene passed, Liu Yan made a lot of money, and then after everyone's publicity, at the end of the day, every household in the village bought medicine from him, and the medicine brought from the county seat in the morning was sold out at once, and the cost of the medicine was only more than 500, but it earned almost 3,000 yuan.
Liu Yan didn't feel much uncomfortable in his heart, what was valuable was not the medicine, but the healing knowledge he mastered, and he was also asking for money now, so he didn't discount much.
In the afternoon, Liu Yan suddenly received a call from Li Cuifeng, director of the Health Bureau.
"Liu Yan, the recent outbreak of influenza in the county, the county hospital and the major town hospitals have received many patients, the cumulative number of more than 2,000 people, has formed a trend of infection, tomorrow our bureau will hold a seminar, invited doctors from several hospitals to come to discuss countermeasures, research to curb the spread of influenza, you also come to talk. ”
Liu Yan couldn't help but panic in his heart, this face is too big, he is not a famous doctor, where can he attend such an occasion.
"Director Li, there are so many famous doctors in our county, I won't join in the fun. Liu Yan wanted to refuse.
"Hey, you can't say that, President Fang respects you very much, this is also your opportunity to learn, come and take a look, you prepare tonight, express your opinions as much as possible tomorrow, and show your face in our Guxing County medical community, I will also count as the other party's president to have an explanation." ”
At this time, Liu Yan understood that Director Li was purely looking at the face of Fang Wanchen, the vice president of the Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and wanted to promote himself.
"Okay, when is tomorrow, I'll go. Liu Yan agreed now, no matter what Li Cuifeng said, he also helped the rejuvenation clinic, so he reported it back and reported it again, and he took a banquet with his face, and looked back to see how he was able to ask Fang Wanchen for credit.
"Half past nine, in the conference hall of the Health Bureau, you will be received when you come. ”
