Chapter 9 Coix Seeds
[Coix seed, water infiltration, spleen and paralysis]
Xu Chenan took Shen Taotao to his own office. Unlike the outpatient clinic, which is full of patients, this office is obviously Xu Chen'an's own place, very quiet, and his personal style is also very strong.
Sure enough, it is a style exclusive to Xueba, with high shelves full of various professional books, as well as a large number of medical records and medical records. Shen Taotao saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy for them to be doctors, and there were too many things to learn.
"I graduated from the Department of Chinese, this major, usually nursing home, final madhouse. When it's time to take an exam, everyone basically remembers it all night, and at that time, it is all about comparing with you medical students to find some psychological comfort. Shen Taotao finished swaying in front of the bookshelf, turned his head and talked to Xu Chen'an.
"Well, we're pretty miserable. Xu Chenan nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but complain to her, "The pressure is too great, it seems that every year medical students die suddenly during the final review, and those who can survive are strong men." ”
Xu Chenan prepared a lot of materials for Shen Taotao in advance, and a thick stack of materials was placed on the table opposite him, and he was intimately categorized with labels, which looked clear at a glance. Such treatment made Shen Taotao a little flattered.
Xu Chen'an pulled out the chair for her and placed it opposite him, and he himself found a few unfinished medical cases, sat down and continued the unfinished work at hand. The two of them were busy with their own work, occasionally Shen Taotao would ask him a few questions, and Xu Chenan also explained to her in a good temper, and the afternoon passed quickly.
On the way, a patient came to Xu Chenan for acupuncture, and when he came back, he saw Shen Taotao lying in the pile of documents, sleeping soundly.
The temperature of the air conditioner is maintained at 26 degrees Celsius, but it can't stand the hot weather, and it is a light sweat when I fall asleep.
Sleeping with the air conditioner on, and not knowing how to find a blanket to cover himself, Xu Chenan frowned, found the thin blanket he put in the office from the cabinet, and gently put it on her.
Shen Taotao was too hot, moved restlessly, and lifted the blanket in less than two minutes.
Looking at the poor blanket that was ruthlessly used to mop the floor, Xu Chenan silently picked it up and folded it, put it back in the cabinet, and raised the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees.
Is it uncomfortable to sleep on his stomach, Shen Taotao slept so that his arms were numb, and he looked up from the pile of old papers in a daze, and looked at the man writing at the desk opposite.
"Doctor Xu?" she woke up in a hoarse and dry voice, looking at him sleepily.
Xu Chenan didn't stop writing in a hurry, and finished writing the whole paragraph he was writing, and then Shi Shiran buttoned the cap of the pen: "Have you finished reading all the information?"
Shen Taotao moved his numb arm and pouted: "Are you knowingly asking!"
Although it is a ready-made material, it is boring and has nothing to do with her profession, and after reading about ten pages, Shen Taotao is already fighting with her upper and lower eyelids, so she simply abandons herself and falls asleep on the table.
She was still a little confused, struggling to run her little head, hesitating to sleep for a while, but Xu Chen'an interrupted her train of thought.
"Don't sleep, you can't sleep for more than forty minutes during the day, otherwise it will be bad for your health. Xu Chen'an's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't condone her laziness at all, "If you go to sleep again, the more you sleep, the less awake you will become, and you won't feel comfortable all over." ”
Well, there is a doctor on the side who mentions his life, Rao is Shen Taotao's heart is big, and he can't sleep.
She ran to the bathroom to wash her face, and when the cold water slapped on her face, she finally sobered up a little, but her mind was still muddy, as if it didn't work at all.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Xu, I'm asleep. Shen Taotao smiled a little embarrassed, took the hot water to drink, and doggedly took a full cup for Xu Chen'an, and put it back to his hand intimately.
Xu Chenan was not angry, and calmly sprinkled a handful of wolfberries into the cup, and then opened his mouth quietly: "Then can you help me ask Reporter Shen, when is she going to finish reading these?"
"This ......" Shen Taotao picked up a strand of hair, wrapped it around his fingertips a few times, and then let go of his hand, letting the hair loose on his chest, "Reporter Shen asked you, can you discuss it?" Hehe, the amount of work is a bit large. ”
Xu Chenan pressed the corner of his forehead with a bit of a headache, moved the pile of documents to himself, and circled some key content for her.
Seeing that the information that needed to be gnawed was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Shen Taotao's eyes were shining when he looked at Xu Chen'an, and he reached out and grabbed his cuffs: "Little Doctor Xu, I love you to death!"
Her excited appearance is like returning to her student days, catching up with the eve of the final exam, and the scumbag hugging the thigh of the god of learning asks for the key point of painting.
I didn't hear her call herself "Little Doctor Xu" for a long time, and when I heard it, Xu Chenan was stunned. Turning his head to look at the little girl who was already starry-eyed, his eyes were also full of warm smiles.
"Okay, don't rush to pat yourself on the back for now, you can wait until you've finished reading things. He freed the cuffs of his white coat from Shen Taotao's clutches, and placed a sifted pile of paper in front of her.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Taotao keenly sensed the meaning of his words. Didn't you say that you would accompany her to read the information, which is a hexagram?
Xu Chenan rarely sold Guanzi, and only said that she should do her own thing, and Shi Shiran went out of the office.
Shen Taotao lowered his head appointingly, half-propped his chin, and turned through the information in his hand page by page, in black and white, flashing like a movie, but he didn't leave an impression in his brain for half a minute.
Sighing helplessly, she pulled out a few blank pieces of paper and began to sort out and extract the text information on the paper. This is a habit she left over from when she was studying, and it is quite easy to use, and she has barely regained some state.
The information left by Xu Chenan is all related to tonifying the spleen and stomach, all of them are classical Chinese, difficult and boring, although she has the foundation of ancient literature accumulated in many years of professional courses, it is also quite difficult to read, and many times she has to go to the medical dictionary to find an explanation.
It is recorded in "Su Wen Linglan Secret Classics": "Those who have a spleen and stomach, the officials of Cangli, have five flavors." "The barn refers to the place where the grain is stored, that is, the spleen and stomach are likened to the officials who manage the granary. The five flavors refer to the essence of the metamorphosis of the water valley. The stomach can accept the food and water grains, while the spleen metamorphoses and subtlety, and together completes the digestive function of the five flavors of the diet and nourishes the whole body.
"If the spleen should be raised, it will be healthy, and if the stomach should be lowered, it will be peaceful." The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and the stomach likes dampness and hates dryness, and the two are opposites and complement each other to complete the absorption and transformation process of diet. If the spleen is not healthy, the stomach is out of harmony, and the spleen and stomach function is impaired, there will be nausea, vomiting, bloating, loose stools, constipation and other digestive disorder symptoms.

The starting place of Mr. Xu's small class was chosen in the canteen of Zhixi Hall. At that time, Shen Taotao happily gnawed on chicken bones, and by the way, listened to Xu Chen'an explain the information she had just read.
She didn't expect that Xu Chen'an's so-called incident in the afternoon turned out to be a pot of chicken in the kitchen.
The chicken broth is served in a small white porcelain bowl, with a shallow layer of oil floating on the surface, the chicken has been deboned, and the green onion and wolfberry have become a color-enhancing stroke, embellished in the meantime.
Thinking that he was such a sunny and snowy person, he actually went to the back kitchen of the canteen to cook. It's a smoky thing, and considering the increasingly hot weather now, after a meal is cooked, Xu Chen'an is afraid that he will be busy until he sweats.
The brain made up this picture...... It's so beautiful, I can't think about it at all.
"What's so funny, you're smiling so happily?" Xu Chenan casually looked up, and saw Shen Taotao staring at the soup bowl with a straight eye, and there was a charming smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, it's okay. Of course, Shen Taotao would not be stupid enough to tell him the truth, so he quickly restrained the gloating expression on his face, lowered his head and drank several sips of soup, "I think this chicken is quite delicious." ”
"Coix seed stewed chicken, will we introduce this in the first issue?" Xu Chenan filled a small bowl of chicken soup for her and gently put it in front of her.
"Remove the hair and internal organs of the chicken, wash it and cut it into small pieces, add water, and then put the coix seeds, wolfberries that have been soaked in advance, and cut the shiitake mushrooms into pieces. Put the chicken, green onion and ginger, and cooking wine into the pot, add water, boil to remove the foam, add coix seeds until they swell, and then add the shiitake mushrooms. ”
"First boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 2 hours, wait until the chicken is boiled and deboned, then add cooking wine, salt, green onions, ginger, peppercorns, orange juice to taste, and you can get out of the pot. His tone was unhurried, and his presentation was not so professional and concise, but it was still seductive.
It's not difficult, ordinary people can learn it, Shen Taotao thinks it's quite reliable: "Then what is the effect of this?"
Xu Chenan glanced at her meaningfully, and still opened his mouth: "This dish is mainly to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness, nourish qi and replenish essence, so it is very suitable for people with weak spleen, less food, diarrhea and post-illness weakness." ”
It's rare to hear him say so much, and some of them are still within the scope of the materials he painted, Shen Taotao's heart is inevitable.
The effect of coix seeds is quite many, one is to clear heat and detoxify, in the summer will be used with white rice, black rice, mung beans, lily, millet and other ingredients to boil porridge, can eliminate the body of the exuberant fire; Of course, it also has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, dispelling rheumatism, and removing acne and whitening.

She knows all this, but she still wants to hear him say it again in person, and listen to him tirelessly explain to her the most basic common sense of students in the University of Chinese Medicine.
When his warm and deep voice sounded in his ears, it seemed to give tenderness enough to drown her.
