Chapter 16 Codonopsis
[Codonopsis, tonifying the middle and invigorating qi, quenching thirst. ]
Xu Chen'an spoke, and in the afternoon, Shen Taotao ran to Zhixi Hall justifiably, walked through the crowded outpatient hall with ease, went straight to his office, and brought a small cake to the little nurse at the front desk.
To be a man, you have to know about Entu Bao, when she didn't work with her before, she didn't bother other the little nurse and provided her with a lot of information.
Shen Taotao stood outside Xu Chen'an's office door, bent over, looking in through the frosted glass on the door panel, in fact, she couldn't see anything, but she was full of interest, and there was a sense of voyeurism.
Behind her, someone gently patted her on the shoulder, and in an instant, Shen Taotao's heart slipped up, and her hairs stood on end in fright. She looked down at the hand resting on her shoulder, and was slightly relieved when she caught a glimpse of the corner of her white coat.
Shen Taotao turned his head to look at the man's face, exhaled a long breath, patted his chest, and comforted his little heart that was pounding with fright.
She fiercely murdered him: "Are you a cat, you don't have a sound when you walk! People are scary, they will scare people to death, do you know?"
Xu Chenan sneered: "Why don't you talk about yourself, sneakily picking at other people's doors?"
Shen Taotao also knew that he didn't take care of this matter, so he immediately shut up and pulled Xu Chenan's cuffs to be coquettish; "Then you open the door quickly!"
"Okay, okay, you let go first, I have to find the key first. Xu Chenan broke free from under Shen Taotao's claws, took out the key to open the door, and led her in.
Shen Taotao no longer seemed to regard himself as an outsider, so he sat down opposite Xu Chen'an with familiarity, put a pile of materials in the canvas bag on the table, and sat in a sitting posture like a primary school student, upright.
She tilted her head to look at Xu Chen'an, her dark eyes turned with his movements, and her small white teeth were particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.
Xu Chenan poured two cups of hot water, added something different from the iron box, and handed one of them to Shen Taotao.
Shen Taotao took it and studied it, and found that one was a long cylindrical thick sheet, and the other was much thinner, she asked him curiously, "What kind of medicinal herbs are these two?"
"It's Codonopsis and Astragalus, and it's okay to soak in water in a certain proportion or boil it as tea. Codonopsis ginseng nourishes qi and nourishes blood, which is very suitable for people with spleen and stomach qi deficiency. Astragalus membranaceus replenishes qi and raises yang, relieves dampness and water, and is also qi-replenishing. Xu Chenan took a sip and felt that his throat was much more comfortable, so he continued to talk to her.
"Combining Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria cocos, and boiled licorice together is the famous prescription for replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen - Four Gentlemen's Soup. If the lung qi and spleen qi are deficient, it is more suitable to use the party to participate in astragalus, atractylodes, poria, tangerine peel, angelica, cimicifuga, bupleurum, licorice, ginger, jujube together, called tonic qi soup. ”
"Are these two ancient prescriptions? What is the dosage, is it added or subtracted or fixed as appropriate?" Shen Taotao remembered the information she had found recently, and she also had a stomachful of questions, "I see that your Chinese medicine seems to be divided into the Jing Fang School and the Shi Fang School, which school are you, Doctor Xu?"
Having said this, Xu Chenan was really surprised by her level of attention, but she didn't expect her to really put in some effort.
Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into the Jing Fang School and the Shi Fang School, and it has been engaged in the act of fighting with immortals for nearly a thousand years.
The Jing Fang School is mainly based on the six meridians and syndromes, and the typhoid fever scriptures are mainly used to treat diseases with the academic thought of typhoid fever and Jinkui, emphasizing the six meridians and formulas, paying attention to the mutual reference of pulse and syndrome, and corresponding formulas.
On the other hand, the Shi Fang school mainly focused on the dialectic of Tibetan intestines, treated diseases with academic ideas other than typhoid fever and Jinkui, and used to guard qi and blood, and emphasized the internal organs, heavy medicine, and more flexible medication.
"The Four Gentlemen's Soup was included in the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula", and the Buzhong Yiqi Soup was recorded in Li Gao's "Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach" of the Jin Dynasty, all of which were ancient recipes. ”
Seeing Shen Taotao's eyes widen and looking at herself without blinking, Xu Chenan knew that she was indeed interested, not looking for something to say, and was willing to talk more.
He simply sat down and patiently explained to her: "The Jing Fang School is based on the classics of Chinese medicine, such as the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and "Jin Kui Yaolu". ”
"Many famous doctors in history are Jingfang, they have a clear dialectic, simple medicine, and dare to use strong drugs to treat severe and critical diseases, which often have surprising effects. The physicians of the Shi Fang School believed that drugs such as ephedra, cinnamon sticks, gypsum, and aconite were all medicines and would never be used, and also advised patients not to use them. ”
Shen Taotao understood the meaning of his words in seconds: "Doctor Xu, then you are from the Jing Fang Sect, will you be a little more powerful?"
Her eyes were sly, with a playful smile, and an expression of "Look, I'm so smart, I can see it", which made the corners of Xu Chenan's lips rise uncontrollably.
"My grandfather is a relatively famous contemporary Jingfang family, and I studied under him, so strictly speaking, I am also a Jingfang faction. In fact, I think that there is no superiority or inferiority between the Jingfang School and the Shifang School, but the theoretical starting point is different, and the clinical medication may be different, but the dialectical treatment spirit of Chinese medicine is the same. Many doctors are not confined to one school, they will learn from others, and the ultimate goal is to cure diseases and save people. ”
It was rare for him to say so many words in one breath, and his throat was not very comfortable, so he took a glass of water and drank several sips in a row, and then he was slightly relieved.
"Why are you suddenly interested in these?" his eyes filled with smiles.
Shen Taotao scratched the broken hair on his forehead, his voice was a little low, and he avoided his gaze: "It's just that I was suddenly interested, isn't the country also vigorously promoting and protecting the culture of traditional Chinese medicine now, so I learned more." Recently, in order to find recipes, I looked up the efficacy of so many Chinese herbal medicines, and I think Chinese medicine is quite magical. ”
The biggest reason she didn't say.
In fact, how could she have such far-reaching thinking, she just wanted to be closer to him and know more about his work.
Staying in the hospital for many years, Xu Chen'an's body was inevitably stained with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was slightly bitter, but it unexpectedly made her feel at ease.
Xu Chenan didn't care about her abnormality, and nodded approvingly: "The culture of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed broad and profound, and the same flavor of medicinal materials, compatible with other different medicinal materials, will play a different effect." ”
"So when I was a child, I was very afraid of my grandfather, he always watched me recite those medicine prescription songs, and if I couldn't memorize them, I couldn't eat, and sometimes I would be beaten by him. Xu Chenan recalled it now, and his tone was full of emotion.
"Will a student like you be punished?" Shen Taotao didn't believe it.
She is a pampered daughter, the family conditions are good, and Shen's father is a middle-aged daughter, and he has spoiled her since she was born.
Although it is not to the point that she will never pick the moon if she wants stars, the quality of food and clothing is very high, and she does not ask for good results, as long as she is mediocre.
Shen Taotao did not live up to her father's ordinary heart at all, playing and learning all the way, and finally was admitted to the best major of H Normal University with the results of the crane tail, and after graduation, Shunshun became a local food reporter, the salary is not high, but for foodies, she can be regarded as a satisfied eater, and she is happy.
Shen's father was reluctant to even pinch her fingers hard, corporal punishment was such a thing, for Shen Taotao, there was no such thing at all.
But when she was in junior high school, she missed the math test by three points, and was rewarded with three prototypes by the math teacher in public, which she remembers clearly. In fact, the teacher didn't work too hard, but her skin was delicate, and she immediately became red and swollen, and she was so painful that she secretly wiped her tears, or the teacher found safflower oil to apply to her after class.
"I have a lot of fun. Xu Chenan smiled disappreciatively, "Actually, I used to be quite rebellious, my grandfather wanted me to study Chinese medicine, but my first choice for the college entrance examination was clinical medicine." Later......"
His voice was stuck, dyed with a hint of helplessness, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be a deep lake, and after the waves surged, he returned to calm: "Later, something happened, I applied for a TCM practitioner to accept and officially follow my grandfather to learn TCM." Fortunately, when I was a child, I had a good foundation, skipped a grade in the middle, and successfully passed the medical practitioner exam after graduation, and I didn't delay too much time. ”
Shen Taotao opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his curiosity and chose to avoid this topic obediently.
"Xu Chen'an, please help me take a look, is this yam tofu okay, and another lotus leaf poria porridge? I've been looking for it for a long time." ”
The little girl is still too simple to learn to hide her emotions, and Xu Chenan has studied a little psychology, so it is easy to guess her thoughts.
But he was appreciative, and followed Shen Taotao's meaning and said: "A dish, a bowl of porridge, and a kind of tea, will it be a bit much?"
“…… I just think that if there is no Chinese medicine in yam tofu, will it not be unreliable, and will it really work? Shen Taotao hesitated, but still told him the truth.
"How so. Xu Chen'an picked up her printed materials and looked through them carefully, "Yam strengthens the spleen and invigorates qi, enhances digestive function, and promotes appetite; Tofu is good for qi and blood, and nourishes deficiency and organs; Tofu is rich in nutrients and has the effect of clearing heat, so tofu and yam are not only beneficial but also appetizing and heat-clearing effects. ”
"Didn't you say that you put a lot of effort into researching the information?" his slender fingers pointed to a certain paragraph of text, and read it word by word: "You see, this is the original words on your information. ”
Can she not know the information she personally collected? It's just that without Xu Chenan's approval, she can't believe it easily.
I don't know when she became so dependent on him.
"You can't believe in the book, but I'm not a saint, and what I say isn't necessarily right, so you have to learn to discern for yourself. Xu Chen'an's face was a warm smile, but it was also meaningful.
"Gee, I'm just more willing to trust you. Shen Taotao muttered quietly.
