Chapter 68: Looking down on Chinese medicine
Long Chengyu felt that Jiang Wenhao and Long Minhui were ostensibly here to find themselves and explore their old roots, but they were actually coming for Ning Jiaxin and Tian Yutao.
In other words, Jiang Wenhao and Long Minhui may have paid attention to Long Chengyu before, but they came to find Long Chengyu today, obviously because Long Chengyu was with Ning Jiaxin and Tian Yutao.
However, since Jiang Wenhao and the others didn't say it, and Ning Jiaxin and the two didn't see it, Long Chengyu didn't want to break it. Some things are still good to go with the flow, and this matter is just a guess by Long Chengyu.
After eating, Ning Jiaxin and Tian Yutao were busy with their own affairs. Long Chengyu came to Zhou Xiaoqin's house again for a medicinal bath. In the morning, in order to save the old man, Long Chengyu did not hesitate to break up the golden internal force into a net to help the old man straighten his bones.
The bones that the old man had penetrated into his internal organs were straightened, but the golden internal force was also too diffuse and extremely difficult to recover, resulting in the golden internal force in Long Chengyu's body now being so thin that it was almost imperceptible.
Long Chengyu was a little nervous, and he didn't know if he could make it up through a medicinal bath. The medicinal bath herbs in the hospital have been almost used, especially a few ginseng plants, which have long been used up by Long Chengyu.
Fortunately, Chen Zhongwei sent medicinal materials, including two wild ginseng, so that Long Chengyu could continue to take the medicinal bath. And because Chen Zhongwei has invested a lot of money, the medicinal materials he buys, including ginseng, are of higher quality than those of traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect of medicinal baths is of course better.
What made Long Chengyu feel relieved was that the golden internal force had a tendency to recondense, and after a noon medicinal bath, it had recovered to nearly half.
This made Long Chengyu secretly rejoice, but also sighed that it could not be used easily next time, otherwise it would be difficult to recover, and more importantly, whether it could be reunited, Long Chengyu was not sure at all.
During work in the afternoon, Long Chengyu returned to the Chinese medicine department on time, and the strange thing is that Liu Xiangmei never came to the Chinese medicine department to find trouble, presumably from Liu Zegui and the two learned that Long Chengyu really participated in the rescue. Anyway, there is no follow-up to this matter for the time being.
didn't come to bother, Long Chengyu just ended up idle. After these days of hard work, Long Chengyu has preliminarily formulated some standing pills.
It's a pill at all, but it's not accurate. To be precise, among the medicines prepared by Long Chengyu are pills similar to the elixir in martial arts movies, such as the tonifying and nourishing qi pills that can tonify the spleen and stomach, and there are also powdered powders, such as Yinqiao Qingre Powder to treat wind and heat, and ointments, such as bone-setting and pain-relieving ointment.
Whether it is pills, ointments, or powders, they all have their own characteristics and have their own wonderful uses. The treatment of diseases involves colds, coughs, bruises, fevers, headaches, refreshments, rheumatism, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc., and it can be said that basically some common diseases have corresponding regular medicines.
Chen Zhongwei came to deliver medicine for the second time. These medicinal materials far exceeded the medicinal materials needed to refine his elixir, Long Chengyu felt his sincerity, not only detoxified him again, but also specially prepared a special medicine for him for a few days.
In fact, although Chen Zhongwei's illness is difficult to treat, it is not too difficult for Long Chengyu. The reason why Long Chengyu talked so seriously to Chen Zhongwei was to let him help him collect medicinal materials.
Not long after Chen Zhongwei left, Zhao Yuxuan came to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with Zeng Yanfei, a beautiful teacher from Tanzhou University who she met last time
"Thank you so much for what happened last time, Dr. Long. As soon as they met, Concubine Zeng Yan expressed her gratitude to Long Chengyu.
"It's just my duty to save people. Long Chengyu said with a smile.
"That's different, if it weren't for you, Xiaobei wouldn't know what the consequences would be, and I didn't know how to face his parents. If something happens to him, I'm sure I'll regret it for the rest of my life...... Thank you so much. Zeng Yanfei said sincerely.
Long Chengyu was modest just now, and Zhao Yuxuan had already preemptively said: "Oh, Long Chengyu, don't be so modest." The meaning of Mr. Zeng's visit is obvious, he just wants to invite you to a meal to express his gratitude. ”
"Eat, then, there's no need to break the bank. Long Chengyu excused.
"What are you polite, if you don't go, how can I take the opportunity to have a meal. Zhao Yuxuan persuaded.
"I can't express my gratitude for a meal, but I don't know what your hobbies are, so for the time being, I just want to treat you to dinner. If you have something to do tonight, we can change it to another day, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in short, we will have a day when you are free. Zeng Yanfei also said.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's better tonight. Long Chengyu, you shouldn't be in a hurry to go on a date, right?" Zhao Yuxuan asked bluntly.
"Dating? That's not ......," Long Chengyu said.
"That's fine, that's it, we'll let you know before we get off work when we've found a good place. Zhao Yuxuan immediately clapped his head. Long Chengyu had no choice but to agree.
Anyway, there is nothing to do tonight, Su Qiumin is on a business trip, and it is nothing for him to come back later. Moreover, the medicated bath has been carried out at noon, and the current state of saturation of the body, and the medicated bath is performed again at night, the body attraction effect is low, and the medicinal materials are wasted.
When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Yuxuan came to inform Long Chengyu that Zeng Yanfei had booked a location in the "Zejiahu" restaurant near Tanzhou University.
"Zejiahu" restaurant is a high-end restaurant in the area of Tanzhou University, with a clean and elegant environment, rich dishes and good taste.
Long Chengyu, accompanied by Zhao Yuxuan, walked into the box. Concubine Zeng Yan was already waiting inside, and when she saw Long Chengyu coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her.
In addition to Concubine Zeng Yan, she also called a few colleagues to accompany her. Among them were two men and one woman. Zeng Yanfei introduced that these three people are all teachers at Tanzhou University, and they are all from the Department of Foreign Languages like Zeng Yanfei, and they are also colleagues in the same office.
Among the two male teachers, the beard was a foreign teacher of Mi nationality, Jamites. The other male teacher is named Zhang Wei, and the remaining female teacher is called Fang Chunyan.
When Long Chengyu was introduced, Zeng Yanfei especially emphasized that Long Chengyu was the school doctor of the school's traditional Chinese medicine department, and his medical skills were very good. Zhang Wei listened to Concubine Zeng Yan's introduction, and there was a trace of reverence in his heart.
Jamites and Fang Chunyan glanced at each other, and their faces showed a trace of disdain. The two also communicated in English, to the effect that Chinese medicine is tricky.
When Concubine Zeng Yan and Zhang Wei heard this, their faces changed slightly. Concubine Zeng Yan immediately stopped in English, but the two of them didn't pay attention to it at all. Jamites said that Long Chengyu couldn't understand it anyway, it was nothing, but Fang Chunyan said directly, even if Long Chengyu could understand it, what they said was the truth.
As soon as her voice fell, Long Chengyu spoke, and in English: "The fact is that in your heart, you only know that you worship foreign charm, and you don't say anything about the essence of Chinese medicine, but you are here to make a lot of nonsense and slander the wisdom passed down by your ancestors." ”
Long Chengyu's opening surprised everyone present. Although Zhao Yuxuan didn't understand what Long Chengyu said, she also knew that this guy spoke fluent English.
Zeng Yanfei and Zhang Wei didn't expect that Long Chengyu not only understood their words, but also could argue in fluent oral language. Jamites and Fang Chunyan were even more embarrassed when they saw that what they said was understood by Long Chengyu.
Of course, they didn't know that Long Chengyu had not only learned English in this life, but also had special intensive foreign language training when he was in the Dragon Soul in his previous life, of which English was a compulsory training option.
"Hehe, you don't have to buckle my big hat, Chinese medicine can cure diseases and save people by just a few medicines and a few needles? What is not a liar!" Fang Chunyan was instigated by Long Chengyu in person, and the matter had come to this point, so she simply sneered and said in Chinese.
"Hmph, even if you don't know Chinese medicine, haven't you even studied Chinese history? Haven't you read about such a generation of divine doctors as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, and Li Shidai? Don't you feel ashamed that you, as a descendant of China, not only do you not have a sense of awe for these wise ancestors, but also slander their achievements?"
Long Chengyu also said coldly in Chinese. A series of rhetorical questions blinded Fang Chunyan. Concubine Zeng Yan wanted to play a round to persuade the two sides to make peace, but she was also taken by Long Chengyu's momentum, and she didn't know how to interject for a while.
"Those are ancient characters, who knows if it's true or not. The true efficacy is impossible for future generations to know. Fang Chunyan was stunned for a while, unwilling to admit defeat, and argued strongly.
"You have actually denied history, you really forgot the classics! Western medicine was only brought to China by missionaries who came to China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so before that, what did our ancestors rely on to cure diseases? Instead of relying on traditional Chinese medicine, did they fly to the West for treatment?" Long Chengyu said angrily.
"Traditional Chinese medicine may have had its glory, but it is undeniable that it is now in decline and is no match for Western medicine at all. Jammitus chimed in and said that because he had lived in China for many years, he actually knew some Chinese.
Long Chengyu sighed lightly and retorted: "So far, the art of traditional Chinese medicine has indeed lost most of its inheritance, but it does not mean that there is no divine doctor. It's just that you haven't touched it.
And it can be said that Chinese medicine is now not inferior to Western medicine, but it is not as high-profile as Western medicine. In the SARS disaster that occurred at the beginning of this century, traditional Chinese medicine was significantly better than Western medicine in the treatment of SARS, and even experts from the World Health Organization had to admit this "evidence."
A few years ago, the Chinese people who won the first Nobel Prize in science in China were able to discover artemisinin because they were influenced by the relevant records in the famous Chinese pharmacopoeia "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription".
In the past 30 years, with the advent of global environmental pollution and an aging society, cancer and other intractable diseases have been high, and Western medicine has become inadequate.
There are constantly European and American medical scholars who have increased their efforts to study traditional Chinese medicine, especially hoping to cooperate with Huaxia in cancer, AIDS and other systemic immune system diseases, and absorb nutrients from traditional Chinese medicine culture. ”
Long Chengyu's words were well-founded and loud, which not only made Zeng Yanfei and Zhao Yuxuan listen, but also made Jamites and Fang Chunyan speechless.
"That's true in principle, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, if you really have the ability, why don't you verify it on the spot and see how my body is?" said Jamites provocatively.
