Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Since the birth of Chinese civilization, traditional Chinese medicine has always played an extremely important role in it, and it can be said that the reason why Chinese civilization has been able to continue to this day is due to the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine with a complete theoretical system, therapeutic effects and philosophical views.
The New Culture Movement at the beginning of the last century opened the prelude to the criticism and denial of the Chinese medicine civilization by the Chinese intellectuals, and with the continuous influx of Western medicine, the trend of the decline of Chinese medicine is becoming more and more obvious.
For example, in the traditional Chinese medicine hospitals that are commonly found across the country, many doctors now have the name of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but what they do is no different from Western medicine. Various instruments are frequently activated for inspection and laboratory tests, and the prescriptions prescribed are mainly Western medicines, and the decline of traditional Chinese medicine can be imagined.
Don't look at the media and public opinion, some bricks are screaming fiercely, criticizing traditional Chinese medicine as worthless, thinking that this is a pseudoscience, but the magic of traditional Chinese medicine is an irrefutable fact.
At least in western Yunnan, traditional Chinese medicine and folk medicine of various ethnic groups still have a very deep mass base and play an important role in the national health system.
…………
Since the Xiao family settled in Ginkgo Village, industries such as cultivating fertile land, opening mountains and forests, doing business, and running horse gangs have emerged in an endless stream, and over the past few hundred years, even Xiao Dushan, the patriarch, can't tell how many industries the Xiao family has been involved in. However, there is one industry that the Xiao family has never ignored, and that is the Xiao family medical center.
Xiaojia Medical Center is a typical representative of many folk medical halls in western Yunnan.
In China, 'not for the famous, for the good doctor' has always been one of the many scholarly family mottos, the Xiao family is no exception, by chance, the Xiao family also has a large number of medical classics and ancient recipes, which has also become an important basis for the Xiao family to gain a foothold in western Yunnan. Almost every generation of the Xiao family will have one or several clansmen who inherit the family medicine and promote it.
After getting up the next day, Xiao Feng first finished dealing with the vegetable garden and the mountain pond, and went down the mountain with a basket of fresh medicinal materials that had only come back yesterday.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun is already shining in Ginkgo Village, full of golden light, the thin air in the plateau area and excellent visibility, making the sun extremely hot and the ultraviolet radiation extremely strong. Even if Xiao Feng was already accustomed to this kind of climate in western Yunnan, he couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, on both sides of the bluestone road from the old house to the hundreds of meters below the mountain, the two rows of ginkgo trees planted next to the Qinglingquan drainage ditch have a history of more than 200 years.
After Jinghu Company opens to the outside world, not to mention anything else, just these hundreds of century-old ginkgo trees can become a major feature of Ginkgo Village. Imagine that after autumn comes, thick golden ginkgo leaves fall on hundreds of meters of quaint bluestone pavement, and I am afraid that those petty bourgeoisie in the city will quickly be fascinated by this beautiful scenery.
For this reason, Xiao Feng emphasized at the clan elders' meeting that there is no problem for the villagers to rebuild and renovate their houses, but in any case, they must not touch the ancient trees that are more than 5o years old, and there is no reason for them.
Xiao Feng knows that people in the city come to Ginkgo Village for nothing more than the beautiful natural beauty and the harmonious and unified way of getting along with the humanities and nature of Ginkgo Village, not for modern architecture and various enjoyments.
Therefore, how to highlight the characteristics of Ginkgo Village has become the main direction of Jinghu Company's tourism development and marketing strategy.
In the past two days, Benjamin has handed over the online recruitment of Jinghu Company to Worry-free Recruitment, and Xiao Feng has also continued to check the resumes of some job seekers on the Internet. Xiao Feng expects that before the arrival of September, he will be able to basically screen out some qualified candidates and fly to Haizhou for interviews.
"Dapeng, why are you at home today?" As soon as he walked into the courtyard of the second master Xiao Jinming, he saw a handsome junior helping the second master to dry the medicinal herbs.
Xiao Dapeng is the son of Xiao Feng's second brother Xiao Jian, and at the age of seventeen this year, he is not very similar to the rough genetic appearance of the Xiao family, but very much like the tradition of his grandmother's family, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Now he should make up classes in Yaozhou No. 1 Middle School, after all, he will be in the third year of high school after the start of school, and his time is tight.
"Uncle Nine, you're here!" Xiao Dapeng raised his head when he heard this, revealing two rows of white teeth, shining in the sun, and said: "School is closed for five days, and I came back last night! I heard that you, Uncle Twelve and eldest brother went into the mountains to hunt, how was the harvest?"
Among the elders and peers of the entire Xiao family, Xiao Dapeng admires his ninth uncle the most, he is not only a scholar, but also a series of projects he is doing in the village, which also makes Xiao Dapeng look up to the mountains.
"It's good to come back and relax for a few days, no matter how intense your homework is, you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "When you are admitted to the ideal university, Uncle Nine will give you a computer!"
Xiao Dapeng is the boy of the Xiao family who has the best chance of being admitted to a key university after Xiao Feng, and his usual results are the top three in Yaozhou No. 1 Middle School, and he is regarded as a seed player by the school teacher. If it had been changed to before, Xiao Feng would not have been so old-fashioned in front of Xiao Dapeng, who was only a few years younger than him, but after he began to take charge of family affairs, Xiao Feng's tone and style of acting were changing.
"I'll work hard!" Seeing Uncle Jiu's expectations, Xiao Dapeng nodded very calmly.
This shows the difference between Xiao Dapeng and Xiao Dazhi and Xiao Qiang, if it were replaced by those two guys, they would have jumped three feet high and cheered.
"Xiao Feng, show me the medicinal herbs you picked yesterday!" After his grandson and nephew finished speaking, Xiao Jinming stretched out his hand to Xiao Feng.
The 61-year-old Xiao Jinming has been working in Ginkgo Village since graduating from junior high school, and unlike Xiao Jinxu, he inherited the Xiao family's medical skills, and he has also been a well-known folk doctor in the Qingling Mountain area for decades.
Over the years, the Xiao Family Medical Center has been managed by Xiao Jinming and his son Xiao Jian, who have contributed their own strength to the Xiao family's reputation and status in Ginkgo Village. In order to repay the second master's efforts over the years, Xiao Feng specially proposed to hand over 3% of the dividend rights of Jinghu Company to the second master.
Most of the patients faced by the Xiao Family Medical Center are the mountain people and ethnic minority brothers in Ginkgo Village and the surrounding areas, and it is impossible to ask for high consultation fees and medicine fees, and sometimes they will even be reversed. Therefore, over the years, although Xiao Jinming has countless living people and the reputation of the Xiao Family Medical Center, Xiao Jinming's family has not made a lot of money.
Regarding Xiao Feng's decision, the Xiao family unanimously agreed, and the matter was settled.
"Yesterday was the first time I picked medicine, and I don't know if it is suitable or not, second master, you will check it for me!" Xiao Feng put down the back basket and took out the medicinal materials inside.
The source of the medicinal materials in the Xiao family medical hall is very complicated, in addition to Xiao Jinming and his son personally going up the mountain to pick, the clansmen of the Xiao family will also pick back the suitable medicinal materials when they go into the mountain, and some villagers who have received the favor of the Xiao family will also send some.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for Xiao Feng to go into the mountains to hunt and pick some medicinal herbs and come back.
"This interruption is enough for a year, and the excavation techniques are also in place, intact!" Xiao Jinming picked up a broken rhizome, nodded and said approvingly: "With this interruption alone, plus some medicinal materials, you can concoct a bottle of secret medicinal wine!"
Xiao Jinming carefully inspected the medicinal materials picked by Xiao Feng, although there were a few that were slightly flawed due to lack of technique and experience, most of them were still quite satisfactory!
On this morning, Xiao Feng had been soaking in Xiao Jinming's small courtyard, helping to turn and dry and process various medicinal materials, and sometimes helping to receive villagers who came to seek medical treatment. After a few hours, he was also very busy, which also allowed him to further understand some of the situation in the Xiao Family Medical Center.
The reason why the Xiao family belongs to a big family in Ginkgo Village and even in the Qingling Mountain area is not only because of their rich background, but also because they are prosperous, and the Xiao Family Medical Center plays a vital role in it.
