Xiao Qiao has been closed for less than four days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After calling the instructor and asking for leave, Xiao Qiao stayed in the rental house all the time. What's even more exaggerated is that in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, he has basically been lying in bed for the past few days without moving, and he has not even dealt with the instant noodle box stuffed in the garbage basket.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that he simply doesn't have the strength to support himself to do anything.

Since defeating Huang Hai and the others on the day of the fight, Xiao Qiao's body has had extremely serious sequelae. Blood vessels burst, muscle strain, detachment, made him feel so painful that he could even wake up when he turned over while sleeping.

In this regard, Hua Tuo explained it like this: "Xiang Yu's strength is too huge, beyond the limit that your body can bear, just raise it for a few days." ā€

"I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch!" Xiao Qiao looked at Xiang Yu who was snickering with a sad face. What kind of person is this, seeing himself like this, he is still gloating.

"You kid is cheap and good, don't think I don't know, you must be very happy now." Xiang Yu slapped the kid on the head.

"Hey, that's right. You don't have to look at other people's faces, it's really hard to say. Then Xiao Qiao turned to Hua Tuo again: "By the way, Hua Lao, can you help me find a way to solve this problem, don't have to lie in bed for a week every time I use Brother Yu's power." ā€

"You kid, don't worry, I have already prepared a recipe for you, and in the future, you will take a bath in the medicinal solution to temper your body. When the time comes, I will teach you the Five Birds Opera, and there will be absolutely no problem. Hua Tuo had already thought of his next step for Xiao Qiao.

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Qiao immediately came to his senses, he didn't want to lie on the bed anymore as soon as possible: "Since this is the case, without further ado, I will go and grab the medicine." ā€

Hua Tuo cried and laughed: "Your injuries are not completely healed, what are you anxious about." ā€

"Can't wait!" Dropping these words, Xiao Qiao limped towards the door.

On October 1st, the National Day was crowded with people in the city. In contrast, the Chinese medicine store called "Tong Yun Tang" in front of it seems to be a little out of place with the surrounding environment, with sluggish business and simple decoration.

Xiao Qiao pushed the door and entered, causing the wind chimes on the door to make a big noise.

There is no pungent smell of disinfectant water in the pharmacy, but it is full of a faint medicinal fragrance. Xiao Qiao sniffed a few sips, and suddenly felt good: "Is anyone there?" I want to buy some herbs. ā€

Soon, a deep voice came from the room: "Please wait a moment, this is coming." ā€

Xiao Qiao responded: "Okay." Then he took a look at the shop. This is the first time he has come to a Chinese medicine store when he is so old, and he can't help but look around curiously.

When I came in, I found that in fact, Tongyuntang was like the old medicine halls on TV, surrounded by wooden medicine cabinets, with all kinds of labels pasted on them, elegant but atmospheric. In the glass case in front of it, there are a lot of Chinese medicine pills, and there is a dustpan on the counter, which is full of medicinal herbs.

At this moment, the curtain in the house was lifted, and an old man walked out. He was in his sixties, and although his hair was gray and wrinkles had crept up the corners of his eyes, he was in good spirits and full of energy.

"What kind of medicine do you want to buy, young man?"

According to Hua Tuo's instructions, Xiao Qiao said the name of Yiwei Chinese medicine. The old man didn't even need to look at the label on the medicine box to find the medicinal materials accurately, he only reached out and grabbed it, and put it on the scale, which was just the right amount.

The boy secretly exclaimed, this is how long it takes to practice before he reveals the mellow heritage of Chinese medicine in his gestures.

After taking the big bag of Chinese medicine, Xiao Qiao asked, "Old man, how much do I want in total?" ā€

"Twenty thousand."

"Two... Twenty thousand? You're not mistaken, why is it so expensive? Xiao Qiao's hands trembled and he wanted to throw away the medicine bag. This is an astronomical amount for him, and it is estimated that it will take two years of work to save so much.

"Old man, I didn't take advantage of you. The amount of things you buy is here, not to mention other things, just this musk is the most expensive kind of Chinese medicine. Moreover, if you open a store in the city center, the cost of housing will naturally make the price of medicinal herbs more expensive. The old man explained.

Xiao Qiao blushed and said embarrassedly: "That... I don't want musk, okay? I don't have that much money......"

"You must know that if this Chinese medicine is missing, the effect will be completely changed. I can see that you need these Chinese herbs very much now, and your awkward walking movements, carrying a bag of Chinese herbs and holding your hands together, can prove that your body is in an extremely weak state now. The old man looked at Xiao Qiao and continued: "If I guessed correctly, you bought so many medicinal materials at one time to make a medicinal bath, after all, it is not easy to preserve such things as traditional Chinese medicine. ā€

Xiao Qiao smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right, I do need these medicinal materials to quench my body now, but I really don't have that much money." "A rich man, it's difficult for a man without money, his face is cleaner, and he has no confidence in speaking.

Looking at the young man's depressed expression, the old man sighed faintly and said slowly: "Actually, I didn't understand a part of your prescription from the time I grabbed the medicine, but I also knew that exploring other people's prescriptions was a taboo in Chinese medicine, so I didn't ask." Now it's better to tell me what I don't understand, and I'll sell you these medicines at the lowest price at a discount. ā€

Tang Deyao has devoted his life to the study of traditional Chinese medicine, and can be said to be a master in the field of traditional Chinese medicine today, as long as he looks at the combination of traditional Chinese medicine, he can determine the use of prescriptions. Today, it was rare to encounter a recipe that he didn't understand, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

The old man's proposal was a pie in the sky for Xiao Qiao, but he was not carried away by the joy and made his own opinion, so he still asked Hua Tuo's opinion: "Hua Lao, what should I do?" Do you want to promise him? ā€

"Promise him. It's not a good prescription, I'll give you something else in the future. Hua Tuo said indifferently. He can make up a bunch of this kind of stuff by drinking saliva.

Now Xiao Qiao was down-to-earth, and said to Tang Deyao: "Excuse me." ā€

"Lotus and ligustrum are the traditional Chinese medicines that are yin to the cold, and cinnamon and fine spice are the traditional Chinese medicines to the yang and the heat. Isn't it the most taboo thing for you to put a drug with completely opposite qualities in the same prescription? Tang Deyao was puzzled. In his view, this approach will undoubtedly do more harm than good.

"Indeed, yin and yang are mutually reinforcing. If used at the same time, the effect of the drug will be neutralized, and the body will be easily damaged. However, the effects of these herbs are very different. It has the effects of astringency, hemostasis, and tonifying the liver and kidneys. Cinnamon branch is spicy, sweet, warm, into the lungs, heart, bladder meridians, is the main treatment of cold commonly used warm medicine, with the effect of replenishing Yuan Yang, clearing blood vessels, warming the spleen and stomach. Divide and conquer, the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys, and the organs of the human body can be regulated separately. Xiao Qiao said. Although he doesn't know how to dispense his own medicines, with Hua Tuo's ability, the effect of these drugs is also at his fingertips.

Tang Deyao asked: "But if the whole body is soaked in the medicinal liquid, won't the body absorb the medicine everywhere, how to deal with these places?" ā€

"Among other Chinese medicines, I chose some drugs with milder properties, which can neutralize these effects without causing a burden on the body." Xiao Qiao continued to answer for him.

"Clever trick!" Tang Deyao pondered Xiao Qiao's words carefully, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Divide and conquer, and then use other drugs to assist, why didn't I think of it. What's your name, lad? ā€

Xiao Qiao said respectfully: "My name is Xiao Qiao. Xiao is the Xiao of the autumn wind, and the Xiao is the Qiao of the sail. Whenever his name was mentioned, Xiao Qiao felt a slight sense of pride. This is the most important thing his parents have given him besides life, and he cherishes it as much as his life.

Tang Deyao nodded: "My name is Tang Deyao, you can call me Tang Lao." Judging from your analysis just now, you have a certain amount of research on traditional Chinese medicine, are you also a traditional Chinese medicine? It's really young. ā€

Xiao Qiao said modestly: "I'm still studying, but I learned a little bit from the elders in my spare time, and this prescription was also given to me by the elders, I just memorized what he told me again." ā€

"Haha, I'll just say it." Tang Deyao smiled heartily: "Even the price of medicinal materials is confused, how can you come up with such a recipe." By the way, who is that elder of yours? ā€

"He's an old man who is used to being free and lazy, and he is relatively low-key, so it's not convenient for me to disclose his situation." Xiao Qiao's face did not change color. I can't say that my parents are called Hua Tuo, then no one believes it.

"Hehe, I was abrupt." Tang Deyao didn't care, people with a skill have their own quirks, which is understandable: "I admire you very much, this kid, I will give you this package of medicine, and in the future, learn the knowledge of Chinese medicine, and come to my old man if you need anything." ā€

Tang Deyao has a feeling of hating each other, in this era of the gradual decline of traditional Chinese medicine, it is rare to meet a young man who knows how to do it, which also strengthens his idea of getting to know Xiao Qiao, just a bag of medicinal materials, it doesn't matter.

Xiao Qiao was flattered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then how can it be done, Old Tang." You better tell me a low price, how can you accept a gift when you meet for the first time. ā€

"You're a stubborn man, but that's what my old man wants. In this case, you can give me two thousand, but I can't give you such a bargain next time. "The value of medicinal materials is naturally more than that, but who makes Tang Deyao feel good.

"Two thousand.... Donald, I have a total of 700 yuan in my pocket, can I give you an IOU? "If there is a crack in the ground, Xiao Qiao wants to stuff his head inside. This is too embarrassing, I can't afford it, and I didn't know that Chinese medicine was so expensive.

"I can't get out two thousand, are you very short of money now?" Tang Deyao asked.

"Uh... Yes. Xiao Qiao was a little embarrassed. The man is afraid to ask about income, and the woman is afraid to ask about age, and he is more or less uncomfortable discussing these issues with someone he meets for the first time.

"That's ......" Tang Deyao took out a business card from his pocket: "Since you are still in school, I am afraid that I will not be able to work in time." I suggest you go to the Lin Group, there may be a job that suits you, if you ask, you can show my business card to the other party. ā€

"No, Donald. This package of medicine has taken such a big advantage from you, why is it good to trouble you again? Xiao Qiao said. repeatedly accepted Donald's hospitality, and he was very embarrassed.

"If you take it, you can take it, and I didn't help you with anything, just to give you a chance. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your own ability. Just return the money to me when you have it later. ā€

It would be hypocritical to shirk again, Xiao Qiao accepted Donald's kindness, solemnly wrote down an IOU and then left. Looking at the figure of the young man walking away, Tang Deyao smiled and threw the note in the trash: "This stinky boy is also interesting, and he also wrote his school and address, will I still chase you when I am old?" ā€

Some people meet in the water, but they give you great help.
