At this time, the door of the left wing room creaked open, and Zuo Gui walked out slowly with his back on his back. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly greeted him: "Dad, are you up?" ”

"Well," Zuo Gui stopped, looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down, and said lightly: "Sick...... Is it better? ”

"After drinking the ephedra soup that my father opened, I sweated and was all good!"

"That's good," Zuo Gui slowly walked two steps, stood up again, thought about it, and poured: "I didn't expect that your kid still knows how to read more hard in the future!" ”

"Okay." Zuo Shaoyang looked into Zuo Gui's house, his body shook suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Dad! Why don't you have a quilt on your bed? ”

After saying this, Zuo Shaoyang immediately understood, the old couple gave their quilt to themselves last night, and the old couple must have sat in dry clothes all night and had no sleep all night. It's such a cold day...... The old couple was freezing cold, and for their own sake, they sat all night because they didn't have a quilt, and they couldn't help but feel very guilty: "Dad! You gave me the quilt, it must have been frozen last night, I'll make you ginger soup! ”

"No need," Zuo Gui leaned his back slightly and walked to the door with his hands behind his back, "Dad is not as delicate as your bones, uh-what a snow!" Zuo Shaoyang saw the hood on his thin head on his wide jacket robe, and the two streamers swaying in the cold wind, and hurriedly said, "Dad, it's windy at the door, let's go inside." ”

"Wake up early to move your muscles and bones, and be in good health!" Zuo Gui stretched out his arms and shook his waist and hips, and then walked back to the house slowly, and sat down after a few long cedar strips with paint off.

Liang brought out the hot washing water, the two washed their faces, and Liang made Zuo Gui another cup of tea. Zuo Gui held the teacup, blew gently, tasted it slowly, put down the teacup, and breathed a long sigh of relief, a very comfortable look.

Zuo Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, and asked Liang in a low voice: "Mother, is there no ......, no breakfast?" ”

"Breakfast?" Liang obviously didn't expect his son to ask this question, life at home has not been good, it is already very difficult to maintain two meals, where is there spare money for breakfast, remembering that his son was sick last night, he should eat some hot porridge in the morning to make up for it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will make it for you immediately!" ”

"Do what?" Zuo Gui said coldly, "That's all there is to the family, if you eat one more meal, the whole family will have one less meal, how will you live in the future?" ”

Liang said sadly: "Master! The kid was sick last night......"

"What's wrong with being sick? Can you waste food when you are sick? Can't get over it in the future? What do you know about? Get to work! ”

Liang was speechless, rubbing his placket around his waist.

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "Actually, I'm not hungry, I'll just say that, it's okay......

Liang glanced at his son guiltily, sighed, lowered his head and entered the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed and began to do needlework, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the empty pharmacy, for a long time, and sighed softly.

Zuo Shaoyang stood behind the medicine counter, caged his sleeves, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going at the door, but no one came in to see the disease, opening a medical hall pharmacy This kind of business, it is impossible to shout at the door, and it is impossible to be too enthusiastic to greet people to come in and patronize, so he can only wait for the patient to come to the door, and even if the patient comes, he can't be too enthusiastic, otherwise it will give people a feeling of schadenfreude.

The snow did not turn into cold snow, this day was much colder than the previous day, and despite the misty sun, our houses were facing north and shady, shivering with cold. Seeing that Zuo Guidu was honestly sitting behind the long table and waiting for the patient to come to see the disease, Zuo Shaoyang didn't dare to go to the door to bask in the sun, so he had to stamped his feet behind the counter with his sleeves caged to keep warm.

When there was nothing to do, he looked at the medicinal materials in his medicine cabinet one by one to see what medicines they had, and at the same time, he identified the medicinal materials with the names of the medicines on the medicine cabinet, because he found that many of the names of the medicines were not familiar.

He looked at all the medicines in the medicine cabinet one by one, and found that they were all ordinary and cheap medicines, and there were no expensive medicinal materials such as ginseng and so on.

Even in the commonly used medicinal materials, the varieties are not complete, and some commonly used medicines are not, which shows that the pharmacy business is really not very good. He connected the names of the medicines through the medicines, and soon memorized the aliases of the medicines.

Then, he found out the list of drug prices and memorized them one by one, so that it would be convenient to settle the accounts.

It was almost noon, and Liang went into the kitchen to prepare for cooking. At this time, a patient finally came. It was a middle-aged man, he cowered and walked in, Zuo Gui looked up at him, his face was happy, and then he returned to his flatness, dragged out his tone, and said leisurely: "Sit-, you, see a doctor?" ”

"Yes, Lang Zhong."

"What's uncomfortable?"

"Cold, fever, and headaches."

"Cough?"

"Well...... don't cough."

Zuo Gui nodded, and asked again, "Are you sweating?" ”

"Well, it seems like a little."

Zuo Gui asked about diet and stool again, checked his pulse and looked at his tongue, and said, "It's no big deal, I'll just prescribe a recipe for you to go back and decoction." ”

"Oh, Lang Zhong, what is my illness?"

"It's freezing this day, you have a cold, it doesn't matter, just take the medicine."

"Oh, thank you, Lang Zhong."

Zuo Gui picked up the pen and wrote the recipe and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang. Let Zuo Shaoyang take the medicine according to the prescription.

Zuo Shaoyang grasped the medicine well, and said to the middle-aged man while wrapping it: "This big brother, you are a certificate of Guizhi soup, do you know how to decoction Guizhi soup?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Isn't it just boiled with water?" ”

"Not really!" Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "You add seven liters of water to the casserole and fry it over a simmer." At the same time, cook about one liter of gruel, boil the water until only three liters are left, remove the scum on it, pour it into a bowl, wait for it to cool, take one liter first, and then drink the hot porridge......"

"Why do you want to drink hot porridge?"

"At this time, there are two purposes for drinking hot porridge, one is to use gruel to replenish the sweat source, typhoid fever to sweat, sweating must have a sweat source, that is, there is a fluid for sweating. The second purpose, the recipe of Guizhi soup, has great strength in raising righteousness, but sweating is weak, so it is necessary to use the heat of hot porridge to help sweating, and the stomach is in the middle of the coke, and the yang energy of the sun is to supplement the middle coke, and drinking the hot porridge can encourage the stomach yang, which can also make Wei Yang invigorate and help get rid of the wind evil. ”

The middle-aged man understood: "That's it." ”

"After drinking the first medicine, cover the quilt and sleep for about an hour, which can help Wei Yang, but not too thick, so as not to sweat too much, but sweating must be done all over the body, the whole body sweats, including the hands and feet must have a feeling of sweating, you can't get a little out of the brain, you just lift the quilt and say okay, hehe, of course, you can't sweat too much, if it's like sweating after running, it's not good, the fluid is lost too much, but it will hurt the righteousness."

"Okay, I remember."

Zuo Shaoyang continued: "Also, if you take a medicine to cover the quilt and sleep for a while, you are already sweating a little, and you have a feeling of sweating all over your body, and it has been out for an hour, it means that the sweating is good, don't take it again, don't think about the rest of the medicine for fear of wasting it, and continue to take it, if you continue to sweat, it will be troublesome, but it will hurt you, which is called stopping the disease." If you don't sweat after taking the first medicine and sleeping for an hour, you can take the second medicine immediately! ”

"Just an hour apart?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"Yes, if you don't sweat for an hour after taking the second medicine, take the third medicine immediately, don't delay, and if you don't sweat for another hour, take the fourth medicine immediately, and take it continuously. No more than an hour in between. It's noon, which means that in the half day before dark tonight, if you don't sweat for an hour, you have to drink three times in a row. ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "Drink medicine three times in three hours?" Will you be in a hurry ...... this time? ”

"It's called 'sweating early'!" Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "This cold disease, you must sweat as soon as possible, the evil wind invades the human body, it is as fast as a storm, and the wind evil must be eliminated when the wind evil enters the body and is still in the skin and hair, otherwise, once the wind evil invades the muscles and veins, and even the internal organs, people will not only have a small problem with the cold, it will turn into a major disease, and it will be very troublesome to treat." Therefore, if you want to use a large dose of continuous medicine in the place of cold, you can use a thunderous force to strangle the wind evil in the skin and hair of the muscles, so as not to let him invade the body and cause a catastrophe! ”
