Inside the wings.

Li Zexuan was shocked as soon as he said it.

Everyone in the room turned their eyes to him, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly ran over and grabbed Li Zexuan's shoulders and said hurriedly: "You stinky boy has a way, why didn't you say it earlier?" Your Uncle Qin and I are like siblings, and I usually treat your kid like a nephew, so you can't bear to watch your Uncle Qin be injured and tortured? ”

Li Zexuan explained: "Uncle Cheng, the kid's method may not be easy, so I have to ask Daoist Sun to refer to it together." ”

Sun Simiao stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Li Zexuan and asked, "Oh? Xiao Xuan, you still know medical skills? ”

Li Zexuan arched his hand and said: "The kid doesn't know medical skills, but the family teacher is quite good at medical skills. ”

Sun Simiao said curiously: "Dare to ask who the Lingshi is?" ”

When he was in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Zexuan only told Sun Simiao that he was frail and sick when he was a child, and later went to Longhu Mountain to apprentice, but did not say who his master was.

Cheng Yanjin said: "His master is a real person of Lingxu, Doctor Sun must have heard of it." ”

Sun Simiao was surprised: "It turned out to be a Lingxu senior, and Poor Dao also admired his old man's medical skills. Xiao Xuan, have you learned his old man's medical skills? ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Before his death, the master only taught the kid martial arts, not medical skills. ”

Sun Simiao shook his head with a regretful look and said, "That's a pity." Oh, Xiao Xuan, you said before that you have a way to treat General Qin's illness, tell me what is the method? ”

Li Zexuan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said: "The immortal drunk that has been popular in Chang'an recently, everyone must have heard of it, right?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Of course we have heard of it, but now we are talking about cure, what do you kid say about this?" ”

The rest of the crowd were also suspicious.

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "The method I am talking about is to mix some herbs for treating internal injuries with spirits in a certain proportion, take them internally and externally, and use them in both directions, I think it can play a good role in treating Uncle Qin's old injuries." ”

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Xiao Xuan, aren't you talking about medicinal wine?" This thing has been available for a long time, and Poor Dao does not think that this medicinal wine can cure General Qin's injuries and illnesses at all. ”

The appearance of medicinal liquor can be traced back to ancient times, and the liquor of Yin Shang, in addition to "wine" and "liquor", also has "鬯". It is made from black millet as a raw material and added with tulip herb (also a traditional Chinese medicine). This is the earliest recorded medicinal liquor.

However, it is worth emphasizing that in ancient times, most of the medicinal liquor was added to the raw material of the brewing and fermented together. and not the impregnation method commonly used in later generations. The main reason for this may be that the alcohol in ancient times was low in content, which was not easy to store, and the maceration method could easily lead to rancidity of the wine.

The use of wine decoction and wine maceration began at least in the Han Dynasty.

What Li Zexuan said is to use ultra-high concentration spirits to make medicinal liquor by dipping method.

Hearing Sun Simiao's denial, Li Zexuan explained with a smile: "Daochang Sun, the medicinal liquor that the kid said is made with ultra-high concentration of spirits, and my master said before his death that the stronger the liquor used in the preparation of medicinal liquor, the better the final medicinal properties will be."

Because the various active ingredients of herbs are easily soluble in spirits, the medicine can give full play to its effectiveness and improve its effectiveness by using the power of alcohol and the power of wine to help the medicine. Moreover, my master was also troubled by injuries a few years ago, and he left a prescription for medicine and wine, which can be used internally and externally, which can completely cure old injuries, and as for whether it can cure Uncle Qin's illness, the kid is not sure.

After arranging the affairs of the wine shop a few days ago, the kid personally concentrated a few liters of concentrated wine, and according to the recipe left by the master, he configured two bottles of medicinal wine. The kid came in a hurry today, and forgot to bring it over, so I ask Uncle Qin to send a family member to my house to pick it up. ”

What Li Zexuan said is not nonsense. In fact, the alcohol concentration required for the preparation of medicinal liquor is best above 50 degrees, with modern scientific knowledge, alcohol is a good semi-polar organic solvent, and the various organic components contained in Chinese herbal medicine are easily soluble in alcohol and insoluble in water.

But in ancient times, it was simply impossible to have such a strong liquor. Therefore, in ancient times, medicinal wine was mainly tonic medicinal wine.

Traditional Chinese medicine theories believe that long-term illness will inevitably lead to a deficiency of righteous qi and obstruction of the veins. Therefore, various chronic debilitating diseases often have different degrees of poor qi and blood and stagnation of meridians. The medicinal wine mainly has the nourishing and strengthening products of blood and qi, nourishing yin and warming yang, and at the same time, the wine itself has the effect of spicy dispersion and warmth.

As for the recipe for medicinal wine that Li Zexuan said, it was completely the recipe that his father used to use in his previous life. When his father was young, he had a wild temperament, and he had studied martial arts from several martial arts masters, and then after two years of study, he began to wander around, and all the money he needed on the road was earned by juggling magic tricks on the side of the road.

At that time, the new state had just been established for more than ten years, and street juggling was still very common.

Later, after his father got married, his temperament gradually stabilized, and he began to earn money to support the family. But as he grew older, the dark wounds left by practicing martial arts and juggling when he was young began to attack, and his father found a recipe from somewhere, and prepared his own medicinal wine, taking it internally and externally, and found that it worked, so he persevered.

However, Li Zexuan was asked to go to the Chinese medicine store to grab medicine, so Li Zexuan was particularly impressed by that recipe.

On the day Han Yuxi mixed wine at his house, Li Zexuan successfully purified the liquor for the first time. Later, after Han Yuxi left, he distilled some of the purified wine several times, and Li Zexuan estimated that the wine was sixty degrees.

Then he asked people to grab the medicine according to the prescription, and prepared two bottles of medicinal wine, thinking that if Sun Simiao couldn't cure Qin Shubao's injury at that time, he would take this out and try it, wouldn't a dead horse be a live horse doctor?

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she said excitedly: "Xiao Xuan, are you serious?" ”

Qin Shubao's expression also moved slightly, what he said before was so indifferent, just to comfort his wife, but if he had the opportunity to get healthy, who would want to be a sick man every day.

Li Zexuan nodded affirmatively.

Mrs. Qin immediately went out and instructed the family to go to Li's house to get medicine and wine.

Cheng Yanjin's face was full of excitement, he stepped forward and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder vigorously, and shouted: "Good boy, it turns out that you have been prepared, if your Uncle Qin's illness is cured this time, the Qin Cheng family will remember your affection, and they will never treat you badly in the future." ”

Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "What did Uncle Cheng say, Uncle Qin, as the general of my Tang Dynasty, has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and any Tang Dynasty people hope that a hero like Uncle Qin will live a long life." Besides, it's unknown whether the little nephew's medicinal wine will work or not. ”

Cheng Biting Jin laughed and said: "Since it is a prescription left by the Lingxu Zhenren, I believe that it will work." ”

Li Zexuan secretly slandered himself, Cheng Biting Jin was too excited, how could he praise another doctor in front of one doctor.

But fortunately, Sun Simiao is not the kind of person with a small belly, and he himself also admires the medical skills of Lingxu Zhenren.

At this time, Sun Simiao said: "Xiao Xuan, while you haven't got the medicinal wine back at this time, can you write the prescription to Poor Dao?" ”

He was also happy to see the hunt, and heard that this prescription was left by the real person of Lingxu, so he wanted to find out.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "The kid is trying to ask Daoist Sun to help with the details, so as not to make a mistake and make a mistake." ”
