Section 7 Pharmacy Apprenticeship

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Here, let's go to the back hall to help first, I just bought a batch of medicinal materials." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes!" Xiaobao turned around and walked out of the hall, looking at his back, Mr. Zhang thoughtfully.

This apprentice is a material that can be made, as soon as something comes to his hands, there is no one who can't learn, knowledge is a thousand miles a day, through and through, and can draw inferences from one another, if you are sure to make a heart, you will become a master of the apricot forest.

And he is honest and hardworking, polite and hospitable, with a very sweet mouth, and there are almost no failures in the promotion of medicines.

It's a pity that his heart is not here, at most he will learn a skill and will not take it as a career, otherwise it would be a good thing to give him a mantle.

……

Huichun Hall is the form of the front hall and the back factory, the so-called factory actually refers to the processing site, which is located in the back hall, when Xiaobao steps into the back hall, more than a dozen people are crowded in the small courtyard, open four pots, and the work is in full swing, and several guys are concocting traditional Chinese medicine.

The processing of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, according to the different requirements of medical treatment, preparation and preparation, and various processing technologies adopted for traditional Chinese medicine. Processing is to retain the ingredients that have therapeutic effects, remove ineffective or even harmful ingredients, make it easy to take, and improve the efficacy.

Seeing Xiaobao coming, everyone cheered in unison, saying that the savior was coming.

He said hello, put on his apron, and hurried up to help.

Iron pot stir-frying!

The stir-frying method in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine is to put the medicine in a wok and heat it over medium heat, and the standard is to stir-fry until the surface of the medicine is browned.

Here you must know how to control the heat and techniques, the fire is big, the movement is slow, and it is easy to burn. If the fire is small, baking the herbs for a long time will affect the medicinal properties

The heat of the charcoal is pressing, and Xiaobao holds the shovel in his hand and turns it vigorously.

The smell of medicine is not good, and the heat is even worse!

As the shovel turns, the heat wave rolls, and the medicine becomes more and more intense.

It is not so easy to do pharmacy apprenticeship, first of all, to do coolies, you have to carry a lot of Chinese medicine into the warehouse, carry it in and out, do identification, cleaning, drying and pre-processing and other preparatory processes, these jobs must be completed by apprentices, and then there is the important processing of Chinese medicine, after the master taught, in addition to precious Chinese medicine, most of the work is done by the apprentices.

The processing of traditional Chinese medicine is the summary of the long-term clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine. The determination of the processing process should be based on clinical needs. Whether the processing process is reasonable and whether the method is appropriate directly affects the clinical efficacy. The purification, cutting, heating and excipient preparation of traditional Chinese medicine can all affect the clinical efficacy.

Heating is an important means of traditional Chinese medicine processing, among which frying and calcining are widely used. Many traditional Chinese medicines can kill enzymes and glycosides after frying, such as mustard seeds, burdock seeds, etc.; Calcination is often used to process mineral drugs, animal carapaces and fossil drugs, which can make the texture brittle and brittle, and the effect will also change. For example, after alum calcining, the dampness and astringent effect are enhanced. After calcining the blood, it can stop bleeding. After heating and cooking, the toxicity of Chuanwu and Caowu was significantly reduced, which ensured the safety and effectiveness of clinical medication.

After the preparation of excipients, certain changes will occur in the taste, efficacy, effect tendency and side effects, so as to maximize the efficacy.

It can be said that every step has knowledge, how much is the heating power, how long is the heating, the method of stir-frying, etc., the pharmacist does not have so much time to teach carefully, at most it is just to say, and there is a bad problem of "leaving a hand", how much to learn, it depends on the quick eyes and understanding of the apprentices of traditional Chinese medicine.

They have to start with the basic preparation of Chinese medicine: steaming, stir-frying, broiling, calcining, and making pills, powders, ointments, and pills. In the past, there was a saying among the folk that "boots, hats, tea, medicine, and the four austerities" mentioned that these four trades should be hard work. You must know that in the past, the preparation of medicinal materials and finished medicines is not like all kinds of machinery now, no matter the scorching heat or the cold winter, they are all operated manually in the yard, and it is common for the hands of the fried medicine to burn blisters and be smoked to the point that their eyes are red.

If nothing else, take the "slicing" of traditional Chinese medicine drinks as an example, to cut the thickness evenly, knife skills are indispensable!

And if you want to practice your hands steadily, and the knife is fine, it is normal to practice back pain and numbness.

In addition to the heavy work, TCM apprentices have to learn a large number of medical books, which are divided into three steps: first, memorize the simple introductory medical skills, and the doctor tells the apprentice some simple passages, that is, some elementary textbooks, with different contents, and memorize them first. Secondly, you have to memorize large medical books, such as the Neijing, the Difficult Scripture, the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, and other famous texts, and listen to the master's explanation.

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is divided into two parts: "Lingshu" and "Su Wen", which is the famous work of the ancient physician Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and is jointly created by doctors and medical theorists, and is generally believed to have been written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. While expounding the pathogenesis and pathology in the form of dialogues and questions and answers between the Yellow Emperor, Qi Bo and Lei Gong, he advocated not treating the disease but treating the disease before it happens, and at the same time advocated health preservation, rejuvenation, longevity and longevity. It is one of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine ("The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "The Book of Difficulty", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica"), and it is the earliest medical classic in China's medical treasure house. It is a medical masterpiece that studies human physiology, pathology, diagnostics, treatment principles, and pharmacology. Theoretically, he established the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory", "Pulse Theory" and "Tibetan Elephant Theory" in traditional Chinese medicine, with a total of 9981 articles.

"The Book of Difficulty" was originally known as "The Eighty-one Difficult Scripture of the Yellow Emperor", 3 volumes. The original title was written by Qin Yueren. "Difficult" is the meaning of "asking difficult", or "difficult" solution. "Sutra" refers to the "Neijing", that is, the "Neijing". The author puts forward what he thinks is difficult and doubtful, and then explains and expounds them one by one, and some of the problems are expounded. The book is divided into 81 difficulties, and many issues such as the function and form of the human organs, the diagnosis method and pulse, and the meridian acupuncture method are discussed one by one.

"Treatise on Typhoid Fever" is a monograph that expounds the laws of the treatment of exogenous fever. The book is 10 volumes, written by Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the early 3rd century AD. Zhang Zhongjing's original work "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", in the process of circulation, was compiled and compiled by later generations to compile the content of his external fever into "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", and the other part mainly discusses internal medicine and miscellaneous diseases, called "Jin Kui Yao Yao Fang Treatise".

……

At that time, there was no convenience of having a printed copy by hand, and the price of a medical book was high, and the apprentices often had to copy it themselves.

The third step of the apprenticeship is to visit the teacher and learn to prescribe prescriptions. And look at the medical case. This is the formal step of learning Chinese medicine, and this is how old Chinese medicine practitioners have come over.

The doctor's biggest secret, there is a basis for disease analysis, diagnosis and prescription, the so-called "law is not lightly transmitted", the apprentice who can go to see the doctor's case is basically close to the doctor's apprentice, belongs to the teacher-student relationship, not the apprentice.

In other words, to be an apprentice of Chinese medicine, you must have both civil and military skills, martial arts means to have strength, carry a big bag, fry medicine to be able to make a strong effort, have physical strength, and be able to work for a long time; The text is literate, the traditional Chinese characters and the meaning of the text in ancient times are jerky and difficult to understand, there are many illiterates, and the people with low intelligence (often those with developed limbs) can't see a reason why they can't see it.

Even if you can read the medical book and understand its meaning, it is daunting to memorize a large number of paragraphs.

Among the many apprentices, Feng Xiaobao has the greatest ability, he has great strength and is not counted, but also quite dexterous, able to lift weights lightly, move quickly, and have a high yield of concocted medicinal materials.

His knife skills are very powerful, each slice is evenly thick, the fried herbs are just right, in the words of the master, his fast and accurate ruthlessness has three flavors, his hands are very stable, and he is naturally suitable for eating this bowl of rice.

Be diligent, be the first to live, and never be lazy.

With his knowledge, although simplified and traditional Chinese characters are very different, but the system of Chinese characters belongs to the category of "red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, simplified and traditional are originally a family", after his flexible brain transformation, Xiaobao memorized the entire paragraph of the traditional Chinese article, and learned to distinguish traditional Chinese characters.

If he didn't know how to keep his head up and not tell him about what he had memorized, everyone would treat him as a monster: "Isn't it strange that a child who walks the rivers and lakes can be literate without enlightenment (going to school)!" ”

After a short period of study, Feng Xiaobao can be of great help, who doesn't like such an apprentice!

Doctors and pharmaceutical masters all gave him a small stove, and he would answer all questions, but others did not have such a good treatment, at most a sentence of "watch carefully" and would not explain anything.

Later, he was hidden as the leading big brother among the apprentices, but no one was jealous of him.

Because he knows how to be a man, his mouth is sweet and not counted, he can speak well, and he also gives small favors, is helpful, or instructs others a few words, everyone is tired of work, buy some baked cakes and share them with everyone (he takes money at home, Feng Dabao nagged again, saying that he is a loser), the so-called taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths is embarrassing.

The key is that he is a little quiet, everyone knows that his heart is not here, and he will not open a practice here and not come to compete.

In this way, no one wants to go against him, and they all want to leave a way for themselves and multiple friends.

……

When the apprentice of Chinese medicine works hard and smiles at others, why did Xiaobao come?

Learning a skill is necessary for future self-defense, and more importantly, Xiaobao's lofty ambition is to use traditional Chinese medicine to establish a health care system in the city to prepare for the future army...... Hehe, it's a bit far, and now, he's going to have to study hard.

He learned a lot:

In the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, the medicinal part of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be selected and sorted with special attention to remove sediment, inclusions and mildew in the drug, especially for the deterioration of traditional Chinese medicine such as moth-eaten, moldy, discolored, oily traditional Chinese medicine, etc. The various excipients used in the preparation of the medicine are as uniform as possible, and the excipients such as wine, vinegar, salt, honey, etc., which are put into the medicine, have no standards at that time, and are often purchased and sold exclusively in a certain store. It is important to know that the same flavor of traditional Chinese medicine plays different roles after adding different excipients. In addition, the heat of preparing Chinese medicine and making Chinese medicine preparations are very important, and it is not possible to overheat it, and it is not good to process it for a short time, which is not something that can be learned by looking at it.

The symptoms experienced during the internship and the corresponding medical case (he has not yet left the school, so he will make a preliminary judgment first, and the doctor will make the final decision) and so on, all of which are recorded.

No one knows how many notes Xiaobao, who is recognized by everyone as a smart treasure, takes notes when he goes home, and often starts taking notes as soon as he gets home from the pharmacy, and he doesn't even care about eating.

The next thing is to endorse, in addition to practicing martial arts, eating and sleeping at home, he keeps reciting books, even with his superhuman intelligence and memory, he never slackens.

This is his way of life in later life, not overestimating himself, not underestimating things, solving small things, but also doing it with the momentum of a goshawk pounceing on rabbits and killing chickens with a knife to ensure success.

In fact, he did a good job, and the medical books he memorized could still be remembered clearly decades later, which came in handy.

……

Let's say that Xiaobao was busy for two hours before stopping work, it was already twilight, and the yard was hard to see clearly.

Rao is Xiaobao has excellent physical strength, and he also feels quite tired, and he thinks to himself: "Abuse child labor! ”

He didn't know the date of his birth, his father had forgotten, but he must have been a teenager!

In later generations, several half-grown children like him were working hard, and they had already been approached by the labor department, and the newspapers had exposed.

After the shutdown, it was unusual that he did a set of soft gymnastics to relax his muscles, needless to say, it was brought by him in later life, and he deduced that he saw it when he walked the rivers and lakes, and no one came out to recognize the copyright anyway.

Originally, Tai Chi was also good, but as a stepping stone, it will be used on the wealthy nobles in the future, and the law cannot be passed on lightly, and others are now learning soft gymnastics with him, and he is very willing to teach it.

Dinner was served, and the apprentice and his fellows gathered around to eat and drink.

Feng Xiaobao ate very gently, and even gave his own ration of steamed buns to some guys with big appetites to eat.

Such a high wind and bright festival won further praise from everyone, but no one knew that he was not worried about his lack of food at all------ he would have a supper to eat after returning home, it was still a very rich supper, of course, he would not say it to any outsiders, so as not to arouse everyone's jealousy of the local tyrant.

Supper!

Xiaobao's dad almost went berserk when he heard this fresh word for the first time!

When walking the rivers and lakes, I am thirsty for food and drink, often two meals a day, sometimes one meal a day, and I can't even eat at the worst time!

Listen, this loser actually eats four meals a day, and the landlord's old wealth is not as luxurious as him!

No, I have to teach him a lesson and make him sober!

When Feng Dabao's big fan-like hand swept towards Feng Xiaobao's face, he didn't dodge or dodge, looked at his father, and said calmly: "That's how the days of immortals live!" ”

Feng Dabao's hand stopped, trembling violently, and he couldn't understand this son anymore.

Fortunately, no matter how much he changes, he is his son!

Since then, Xiaobao has had a supper.
