Allergies are like this, maybe you have never been allergic to gray cabbage before, after the physique changes, one day or in a certain situation, you will be allergic, Zuo Shaoyang has no way to explain to them with modern medical knowledge, so he can only say nonsense: "Gray cabbage, as well as camellia, amaranth, and rape, all have a kind of summer evil, and this kind of summer evil will only attack when you feel the sun, and not all gray cabbage has this kind of summer evil, sometimes it appears, and some don't." There are no times when there is a majority, so many people are fine when they eat it, because the gray cabbage they eat has no heat evil. However, if someone eats gray cabbage with heat evil, if it is not exposed to the sun, it will not get sick, but if it is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will cause the heat evil to become ill, and the symptoms are burning, edema, big head, itching, blisters, chest suffocation, and so on. ”

He explained it in terms of summer evil, and these people could understand it, and immediately believed it, and began to talk about it in a buzz.

An old man said: "Model Zuo, can you still eat this gray cabbage?" ”

"You can eat it," Zuo Shaoyang said, "I'll teach you a method that can eliminate the heat evil in the gray cabbage, and you won't get sick if you eat it again." ”

Gray cabbage is a common edible wild vegetable, whether it is a famine period, or usual, many ordinary people are digging this kind of wild vegetables and eating them in the grain in order to maintain their lives, and this edema disease has also appeared before, but at that time there was no such a concentrated time concentration of the population famine, generally added to the grain to eat, so the onset is relatively mild, the symptoms are not obvious. It is also relatively scattered, not easy to attract people's attention, and this time, many people eat gray cabbage for a long time, gray cabbage is a little poisonous, after accumulating poisoning, it broke out collectively in the first sunny day, and it is ferocious, which attracts everyone's attention.

Now I heard that Zuo Shaoyang had a way to eat gray cabbage without getting sick, so they all gathered around to listen.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Actually, it's very simple, first pick the young leaves of gray cabbage and dry them, then boil them in boiling water, and then rinse and soak them in raw cold water repeatedly to detoxify them for more than three days. I hope that when you go back, you will tell your neighbors about this method, so that adults will not get sick from eating gray cabbage. ”

Everyone remembered it with their hearts, and nodded their heads in agreement.

There are two types of dermatitis in the plant name, one is called wind poison type, this kind of edema and itching degree is relatively light, and it is treated with Puji disinfectant drink that disperses wind, clears heat, regulates dampness and detoxifies it. The other type is called toxic fever type, which is a very severe dermatitis, with a rapid onset, high edema, a face like a full moon, erythematous blisters in the sun, and even erosion and necrosis, nail bruising and falling off, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as high fever, dizziness and headache, etc., which may lead to other complications and lead to life-threatening. The treatment is a clear poison drink. External rubbing medication can use Zuo Shaoyang's previously configured antipruritic and anti-swelling drugs.

When Zuo Shaoyang picked up the pen to write the prescription, he couldn't write anymore.

The commonly used prescription Puji disinfectant drink for the treatment of dermatitis surnamed Yueguang is from the Qing Dynasty, and the Qingwen septic drink is from the Jin Dynasty, which are all new prescriptions after the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the banlan root and peppermint in Puji disinfection drink were first used as medicines in the early Tang Dynasty in the "Xinxiu Materia Medica" (also known as "Tang Materia Medica"), but they were not widely used, Zuo Shaoyang did not have them in their pharmacy, and he had not seen these two medicines in the wholesaler of medicinal materials before. However, since the Tang Dynasty has been written into the official herbal medicine as a medicinal material, it must have been used, and it may be found in other pharmacies. Among these two medicines, peppermint is the subordinate medicine in the prescription, and it is compatible with burdock root, forsythia and other medicines to evacuate the wind and heat of the head and face, without this thing, the swelling of the head and face is not easy to retreat.

The usefulness of the root is not very important in this recipe, but it only strengthens the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it is an adjuvant, but the flavor of the root is too famous, especially in the [***] period, the country is simply sold out. Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang was very impressed, and in actual use, Banlan root is also one of the most commonly used heat-clearing and antidote, and the dosage is very large. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just begun to discover the medicinal value of this medicine, so many pharmacies did not have this medicine on the shelves.

The red peony in the Qingwen septic drink is more troublesome, this medicine was first used as a medicinal material, in the Song Dynasty, so this medicine can not be found in the Tang Dynasty pharmacy. Fortunately, red peony is produced in many places across the country, and it should be found in the mountains near Hezhou.

Now that the rebels have been recruited, the war has ended, and foreign communications have been restored, it is necessary to purchase the medicine that the Tang Dynasty did not have as soon as possible, or transplant it to its own medicine garden. I don't know when I will use it again in the future, even if I can deal with it this time, if I can't or lack the medicine next time, if I don't prepare early, I'm afraid that I can only stare dryly at that time.

To accomplish this task, Hengchang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which is not the largest in Hezhou, is not up to the task. Zuo Shaoyang decided to go find the medicine cabinet.

On the first day that the rebels were recruited, Zhu Yaojie immediately sent an urgent order to the medicine branch of his own family in the nearest county seat to Shijing County through the post station in Yamen, mobilizing grain and commonly used medicinal materials to the Hezhou General Headquarters. Zhu Medicine Cabinet also urgently ordered all the branches of the medicine store to temporarily change to grain business, and organize grain transportation to Hezhou from all over the country.

In the evening of the same day, the grain transportation team of the Hengchang Pharmaceutical Branch in Shuanghuai County and Taihe County, which was the nearest county, transported the grain to the medicine store.

In the Tang Dynasty, grain was not a monopoly, and the people could buy and sell it freely, and the government did not prohibit it, except of course, when food was particularly tight during this war. The government also encourages the private sector to transport grain for long-distance dispensing. However, due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the transportation cost of bulk items such as grain is very high, so it is generally transported and sold within a range of several hundred miles, and the long-distance traffic of more than 1,000 miles is carried out, unless it is transported by large ships or waterways, and the cost of transporting grain by mules and horses alone will be frighteningly high, and the people can not afford it, and the grain trafficked in this way cannot make much money because the cost is too high.

Therefore, grain can only be transported from a few counties under the jurisdiction of Hezhou, which are already high grain prices, coupled with high transportation costs, and the grain prices are almost the same as the grain prices sold by the government now. The profit earned is also not high.

However, the main purpose of Zhu Yao's order to temporarily mobilize grain to be transported to Hezhou for sale was not to make money, but because he had been too deeply touched by the famine in the past two months, and he really couldn't bear to watch the hungry people starve to death due to lack of food, and he learned that the government had not received too much grain from the army for sale. In order to understand the urgent need of Hezhou, a large amount of grain was transported in to stabilize grain prices.

When Zuo Shaoyang found the medicine cabinet, it was very lively in front of Hengchang Pharmacy, and they had already recruited a group of guys and were busy selling grain. The price of food is the same as that of the government.

Seeing Zuo Shaoyang coming, Zhu Yaojie was very happy, his family's surname can be said to be due to Guizhitang, and the whole family treated him as a guest. made Zuo Shaoyang a little flattered.

The first sentence of the medicine cabinet was: "Xiaolangzhong, is there not enough food at home?" Just take it, you can take as much as you want, and give it to you at cost! ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "I'm afraid that your cost price will not be lower than consistent, right?" ”

Zhu Yaojie smiled: "To tell you the truth, the cost is always two dollars, and you are always good!" How much? ”

Zuo Shaoyang hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Uncle Zhu, I really have something to ask you for help, but it's not to buy food, our family's food is still enough." ――I'd like you to buy me some medicine. Some new drugs are not yet available in Hezhou pharmacies. ”

"What kind of medicine, you say, I'll call someone to help you buy it right away."

"Indigo root and lotus greens."

Indigo root is the root of banlang, and lotus is mint. This was the name of these two medicines in the Tang Dynasty. Although these two flavored medicines are new medicines, Zhu Yao, a veteran medicine dealer in the medicine cabinet for many years, knows all kinds of new drugs very well, and knows it as soon as he hears it, and says: "I don't have a semicolon for these two flavored medicines." It is estimated that only the big medicine store in Beijing has it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "How far is the capital from here?" ”

"A unilateral trip is estimated to take about ten days. It took more than half a month to go back and forth. ”

"Huh?" Zuo Shaoyang was disappointed.

When the medicine cabinet saw his expression, he hurriedly said, "What, are these two flavors of medicine in a hurry?" ”

"Yes. Now many people have a big head plague, and their heads are as big as a bucket, and these two medicines are needed to treat this disease. ”

I also heard about the medicine cabinet, and many people came to the city today to seek medical treatment, all of them had big heads, red spots and blisters on their faces, and unbearable itching. Many pharmacies do not respond well. Said: "Do you have a cure for this disease?" ”

"Yes. However, we also need three flavor medicines, and in addition to these two flavors, another flavor medicine can be picked in the mountains near us. These two flavored medicines can only be purchased with your help. However, if it comes and goes for 20 days, which is too long, if the disease is well monitored, as long as it does not cause other complications, it should not be life-threatening. However, it can be painful for the patient. ”

"That's right," Zhu Medicine Cabinet thought for a moment, "Is there a lot of money?" ”

"You don't need a lot to use in a single dose, because it is compatible with other medicines, but there are a lot of sick people, and it may be enough to take one or twenty pounds."

"That's easy!" Zhu Yao Cabinet patted his thigh and stood up: "I'll go to the state capital yamen immediately." ”

"Do what?"

"Find Dr. Tang, tell him that these two herbs are urgent, and ask him to send eight hundred miles to expedite, and he can rush to the capital in two days! Then the goods will also be sent back with an expedited 800 miles, so that you can get the medicine in four days, which is the fastest. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed: "This relationship is good, I'm afraid that Dr. Tang will not will." ”

"Don't worry, he is a medical officer, and he has the responsibility of dealing with local sudden diseases, and you can rest assured that this matter will be handled by me. ――What else do you want besides these two herbs? ”

"I'm in a hurry to get these two flavors. There is no rush for other medicines, and there are many of them, and some medicines may be difficult to find. ”

Zhu Yaojie patted his chest: "Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is to find, I will find it for you!" You go back and write the name of the medicine you need, and draw a picture of the medicine you don't have, and then I will send a special person to help you procure it. ”
