Chapter 199: The Little Benefits of the Medicine House
"Hu Qing, is there really such a thing as a suspensory pulse? From ancient times to the present, classical novels or traditional operas have appeared in the diagnosis of the pulse, but it is hard to imagine that the disease can be distinguished by just relying on a red thread from a long distance? β
It was Zhang Beiyi and Zhang Lao who spoke, because of Hu Qing's prescription, the poison in Zhang Lao's body had almost been cleared. Out of gratitude to Hu Qing, Zhang Beiyi invited Hu Qing to come over for dinner, first, to thank him, and secondly, to exchange medicine.
Hu Qing and Zhang Beiyi's conversation was in the courtyard of Zhang's manor, Zhang Beiyi's eldest son, and Zhu Mengmeng sat quietly next to them, listening to the discussion between the two.
"Hanging silk to diagnose the pulse, but it's just grandstanding!"
Hu Qing's words almost completely exploded the bottom of the suspensory silk diagnosis.
When Zhang Beiyi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and listened carefully to what Hu Qing said next.
"Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing and asking, which I don't object to than you, why is it looking and hearing and asking, instead of asking and asking? These four words contain four successive steps, that is, the last step is the cut, and good Chinese medicine has basically judged the condition based on the first three steps alone. If you really get to the point of cutting the pulse, it means that the condition is becoming more and more complicated. β
"For pulse cutting, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, you should know what is going on, that is, to perceive the condition through the beating of the pulse. You live in modern times and should understand that pulling a red thread, one end of the red thread is tied to the patient's wrist, and you can sense the patient's pulse with this red thread alone? β
Hu Qing's rhetorical question naturally asked the doubts in Zhang Beiyi's heart, and he looked at Hu Qing puzzled, since Hu Qing's meaning of this "hanging silk diagnosis" is fake, then why did the ancient people know that this method is unreliable, but still take this method.
"It's not what you think, but there is something wrong with the diagnosis of the suspensory wire, but ordinary doctors, no matter how high the medical skills are, even if they are Bian Que Huatuo and others, it is impossible to diagnose the pulse of the suspensory wire, and besides, in what kind of ancient medical books and books, have you seen the explanation of the diagnosis of the suspensory pulse?"
Zhang Beiyi still shook his head, there is indeed no medical record of this method in ancient times, it is only in some romances or operas. Therefore, almost all traditional Chinese medicine doctors question the viable surname of the suspensory silk pulse, but no medical book in ancient times has talked about this method. This method has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and all Chinese medicine scholars are deeply puzzled.
"Who was the first healer to use the suspensory wire to diagnose the pulse, you should know this?" Today, Zhang Beiyi asked Hu Qing for advice on whether the suspensory filament diagnosis pulse exists. There is no record of this in the classics of his Zhang family, but it is indeed widely circulated among the people. So thinking of Hu Qing, maybe his medical sect will have a record of this.
"It should be Sun Simiao, and legend has it that Sun Simiao used this method to treat Empress Changsun. And it is said that at that time, because Sun Simiao was recruited from the people, the imperial doctor and the eunuch of the Tai Hospital intended to test Sun Simiao, and tied the red thread to the holly root, copper tripod foot and parrot leg respectively, but Sun Simiao saw through it, and finally tied the silk thread on the wrist of the eldest grandson queen. Sun Simiao diagnosed the pulse and knew that it was a delayed labor, so he prescribed a prescription, and the eldest grandson gave birth smoothly. β
The one who said this was the boss of the Zhang family, although he did not study medicine, but he still knew a lot about some Chinese medicine allusions.
Hu Qing nodded and said, "It's really good, Sun Simiao did it with this method, and he did diagnose the patient's condition." But the most important reason why Sun Simiao can use the suspensory wire to diagnose the pulse is that he is a Taoist priest, and he is also a profound Taoist master. Without the assistance of internal qi, it is impossible to sense the change of pulse through the silk thread. That is to say, pure Chinese medicine cannot use the suspensory filament to diagnose the pulse at all, even if it is used, the diagnosis is diagnosed, and it is only through the first three kinds of looking, hearing and asking to roughly judge what disease is, and the last step is just pretending. β
Hearing Hu Qing say this, everyone suddenly realized. Especially Zhu Mengmeng, thinking of the scene where Hu Qing saved him, hurriedly asked excitedly: "Brother Hu Qing, can you use the suspensory wire to diagnose the pulse?" β
"Of course, I can, but I won't use it!" Hu Qing first nodded, then shook his head.
"That's why, if you want people to know that you can diagnose pulses, you're more famous than you are now." Zhu Mengmeng was very curious about why Hu Qing chose such an answer, and she also knew that her grandfather invited a life-saving benefactor to come over today, so she put down the company's affairs and ran over.
"As a Chinese medicine practitioner, there is no room for carelessness, how about diagnosing the pulse of the suspensory filament? How about cutting the pulse directly! The ultimate goal is to heal the sick. However, the function of using suspensory filaments to diagnose pulses is to avoid direct contact with the patient, and there is no other effect. As a doctor, if you can't even contact the patient, it is a distrust of the doctor, and it is not a cure. In addition, although the master of the suspensory filament diagnosis can sense the pulse beat through the silk thread, after all, it is not as accurate as directly cutting the pulse, because of the fragility of the thin thread, any bit of wind and grass can make the silk thread be disturbed. Therefore, in my opinion, the diagnosis of the pulse of the suspensory filament is an extremely irresponsible means of cutting the pulse. After Hu Qing said this, he stopped, looked at Zhang Lao thoughtfully, and Hu Qing slowly took a sip of tea. I've just said so much, and I'm really thirsty.
Zhang Beiyi did not doubt Hu Qing's words, in fact, he also agreed with Hu Qing's words in his heart. It's just that the tricks of the imperial doctors of the past generations are deceitful, and I am a little shocked. If this is the case, then this trick is not a matter of deceiving a few people for a while. Instead, it has deceived countless people, and it has been thousands of years since it was deceived.
Subsequently, Zhang Beiyi talked to Hu Qing about the snow ginseng, and all he revealed was a deep sense of regret. At the same time, Zhang Beiyi also told Hu Qing that he was also secretly sending someone to look for it to see if there was another snow ginseng that was old enough. Hu Qing's "Eight Pills of Life" is too tempting for him, and now that he knows it, although he missed it once, it is not excluded that there is another snow ginseng in this world, of course, it is okay to find the one that was lost before, but there is little hope.
After having lunch at Zhang's house, before leaving, in order to thank Hu Qing for the kindness of the Zhang family, the Zhang family wanted to give Hu Qing some money. Originally, Hu Qing was going to agree, after all, he was really poor and crazy, but thinking that he was facing the Zhang family of the four major medical families, he must have hidden goods here, and it would definitely be more affordable to take a few medicinal herbs than to take money.
Zhang Beiyi's proposal to Hu Qing is naturally not stingy at all, and I don't know if the Zhang family doesn't have it in the old age, or Zhang Beiyi is reluctant to mention it. 100-year-old ginseng, as well as 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu is not stingy.
This trip to the Zhang family can be described as very rewarding. Hu Qing got a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu from the Zhang family, as well as two hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. What is the market value of these three medicinal herbs, but Hu Qing thinks that it is not cheap, at least it is priceless.
Just out of Zhang's house not far away, he heard the car driving out behind, Hu Qing was not in a hurry, the car stopped there, and he wanted to wait for Zhang's car to leave. Just after a while, I saw a white Maserati drive out, and the driver was Zhu Mengmeng, who was shouting at Hu Qing next to him just now.
The car stopped beside Hu Qing, and Zhu Mengmeng immediately jumped out of the car and said, "Brother Hu Qing, Zhang Shuai and I want to invite you to a meal to express our gratitude?" β
"Okay, let's go another day, you have my phone, make an appointment another day, and go out together!" The Zhang Shuai in Zhu Mengmeng's mouth is naturally the fiancΓ© who was eaten to death by him, that is, the person who called Hu Qing a big brother.
With Hu Qing's consent, Zhu Mengmeng was naturally happy, last time Hu Qing saved them, although the Zhang family expressed their gratitude. But as the parties, they feel that they must also express their gratitude, and they can't just walk away. Especially Zhang Shuai, seeing Hu Qing's power, naturally thought about how to get close to this big brother, and casually instructed him to make two moves, maybe he wouldn't have to be afraid of Zhu Mengmeng beating him in the future.
Back at the medicine house, the two sisters were chatting there, and when they saw Hu Qing coming back, the two girls were shocked, especially their sister Xiaolian, and said nervously: "Mr. Hu, I am bringing you food, and I will stay for a while when I see my sister alone." I'll go back now, don't you tell Mr. Hu? I really didn't mean to, the store wasn't too busy today, so I was lazy for a while. β
Xiaomei is also afraid that Hu Qing will be angry, after all, after her sister delivered the meal, she didn't go back to work, but stayed here by herself, which was obviously absenteeism. If Hu Qing is not satisfied and fires them directly, it will be too late for them to regret it.
Hu Qing didn't blame them, but just looked at their nervous appearance, especially between his eyebrows, revealing a faint sadness.
"What are you two doing, is something going on?" guessed that with the surnames of these two sisters, they should not be lazy, but the two seem to have something on their minds.
"Yes, that's right, yesterday my brother called and said, "My mother is sick. The county looked at it and it seemed that the problem was quite serious, so let me transfer to the hospital. My brother thinks we are in Jiangyun, so he wants my mother to come to Jiangyun to see a doctor. β
It was Xiaomei who spoke, she said before that they have a total of three brothers and sisters, and the elder brother is the oldest, who has already married and works as a farmer in the countryside. There is also the two sisters, both of whom have come out to work, and they have to send a lot of money home every month. is also because of the traditional concept, as long as the sisters do not marry for a day, they are members of this family, so the money they earn is sent back to their brother's share. The elder brother and sister-in-law are responsible for taking care of their elderly parents at home.
"Oh, then take it, when will it come." Hu Qing is not the kind of unreasonable person, this mother is sick, and it is normal for the sisters to worry.
"The train arrived at 5 p.m., and my sister and I were ready to get off work to pick them up at the train station." Xiaomei whispered.
Look at the time, it's already past two o'clock, and there are still three hours left. waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's okay today, you two should get off work early." Xiaolian remember to say hello and get off work. β
Xiaomei was not overjoyed when she heard Hu Qing's words, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, I will take my mother over, can you give my mother a look first to see what the disease is?" Can it be treated, and if you are hospitalized, how much will it cost? You know, there are so many words that we can't come up with. β
Xiaomei's words are very low, she knows that such words are excessive, although she says this, there is actually a layer of meaning. is to hope that Hu Qing will treat his mother, after all, she works here for Hu Qing, if it is too expensive, she can owe it first and deduct it from her and her sister's medical expenses.
"Okay, no problem!" Hu Qing thought about it and agreed. Since Xiaomei works here, although she promised to give him a salary of 5,000 yuan a month. But in fact, he was promised nothing but five thousand dollars. Working in other employers, at least there is some kind of three insurances and one housing fund or five insurances and one housing fund, but Xiaomei does not have these things. It can be said that working here is a job with no security at all.
Thinking of this, Hu Qing said again: "That's it, Xiaolian won't talk about it, after the probationary period, she must be a regular employee of Guyue Cafe, and if you want to sign a formal contract, you don't have to worry about it." But Xiaomei, I promised you nothing but a salary of 5,000 yuan. Like other employers, it seems that there are three insurances and one housing fund or five insurances and one housing fund. I'm not a regular employer here, so I don't engage in those insurances and funds. In this way, Xiaomei, and Xiaolian, you remember, in the future, 60% of Xiaomei's salary will be regarded as what kind of insurance and what kind of money. That is to say, Xiaomei is now 5,000 yuan a month, and I will take out another 3,000 yuan a month to Xiaomei to act as the three insurances and one housing fund or something. In other words, as long as Xiaomei works with me for a day, this will take effect. If you don't do it, I'll give you the money deposited with me and give you my surname at one time. Or if you want to buy a house or something, you can also withdraw the money. β
After Hu Qing finished speaking, he looked at the two sisters, especially Xiaomei, and said, "What do you think of this?" As for medical treatment, if you or even your future husband and children are sick, I will treat you for free. But your relatives, that is, several relatives in the immediate family, as well as Xiaolian, your brother and sister-in-law, if you want to see a doctor, I only charge for medicine? β
After listening to Hu Qing's words, the sisters were naturally overjoyed and kept saying words of gratitude. This time, the rest of her life is guaranteed, as long as Hu Qing doesn't drive herself away for a day, as long as this medicine can be opened, she doesn't have to worry about any problems. In real terms, her monthly income has reached 8,000. What's more, he can see a doctor for free, Hu Qing's medical skills are naturally clear to him, it is for the provincial leaders to see a doctor, and there is nothing better than being able to give her free medical treatment.
After beckoning the sisters to leave, Hu Qing smiled lightly and felt the happiness of the sisters. In fact, he has had this idea for a long time, but he has never found a chance to speak, he is really not a company, there is no formal contract, and if he wants to keep Xiaomei, he naturally has to put some effort into it. As for the money promised to Xiaomei, Hu Qing also cares, what about the more than three thousand, Xiaomei's salary, Hu Qing can get it by casually selling a pill.
In the Dan room, put He Shou Wu and Ganoderma lucidum away, and my heart was full of joy, with this hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and with the three-hundred-year-old Changbai ginseng, there was no problem with the refining of Zixue Baodan.
